FLAG ETIQUETTE.
By william Mather Lewis.


The United States military regula-
tions and other rulings given we'll de-
fined statements as to the respect to
be shown the flag. The most import
ant Of these follow.
When the colors are passing. the
spectator, If man should halt If walk
ing, arise and uncover il sitting, hold
ing the head-dress opposite the left
shoulder with the right hand; If bare
headed, he should salute with the right
hand. A woman should stand at at
tention as the flag passes by.
When the flag flies from stationary
flagstaff it is not ordinarily saluted
with the hand.
Used in decoration, the flag should
not be festooned or draped, but hung
fiat. If the flag is hung with the
stripes horizontal, the Union should be
in the upper left corner. If hung per-
pendicularly, the Union should be in
the upper right hand corner.
When the flag is carried in parade,
or when crossed with other flags, the
Stars and Stripes should always be at
the right
The law specifically forbids the use
of and representation of the flag in any
manner in connection with merchan-
disc for SALE
The flag should be raised at sunrise
and lowered at sunset. 1t should not
be displayed on stormy days or. except
when under fire of the enemy, left out
over night. Although there is no au-
thoritative ruling which compels civ
ilians to lower the flag at sundown,
good taste should impel them to follow
the traditions of the Army and Navy in
this sundown ceremonial. Primarily
the flag is raised to be seen, and Sec
ondarily, the flag is something to be
guarded, treasured; and so tradition
holds that it shall not be menaced by
the darkness. To leave the flag out 1T
night, unattended, is regarded by some
as proof of shiftlessness, or at least
of carelessness.
On Memorial Day, the flag should
be displayed at half-mast from sunrise
until noon and at the peak from noon
until sunset. 1t should, on being re-
tired, never be allowed to touch the
ground.
When "The Star Spangled Banner"
is played or sung, all present should
stand, uncover face towards the music,
and remain standing, in silence, until
the music ceases
Applause at the conclusion of the
THE Star Spangled Banner is out OF
place.
Worn -out and useless flags should
be destroyed, preferably by burning.
A flag torn or frayed by the wind
and weather should not again be haist-
ed until it has been repaired. This is
regulation of both the Army and
Navy and should be followed by all CIV
ilians.

YOUR NET INCOME.

c. s. BiXler of Hepburn, special rep
resentative of the U. S. internal rev.
enue department was a Shoshone Wis
itor Wednesday, giving out information
as to the operations of the new in
come tax law. If you own a farm, or
any other business worth, say five
thousand dollars in 1913 and you sell
it today for eight thousand dollars, you
must pay income tax on the three
thousand dollars. In other words, taxi
ing all property values on the basis of
1913 met income" is figured as the diff
ference in value now and then. II on
your $1,000 farm you have put $4,000
worth of improvements since 1913 and
sell today for $4,000. there is no ne:
income, since the $4,000 represents in
vestment.

An ORGANIZERS CONFESSION

II believe the draft law to be un-
constitutional.
! Il believe Haywood is a victim of
a put up job by the government.
| II believe that the Bolsheviki gov
ernment OF Russia to be the highest
type of democracy in the world and
hope to see similar democracy in this
country"
! The above are taken from the con-
fession of Horace Mann, the Nom Par
tisaD league organizer for Goodi1g
county who was arrested last week on
charge of sedition. He was loaded
with literature of the rankest kind,
carried letters of instruction from Ray
McKaig. head of the German propa-
gandists in Idaho, had his credentials
from National League headquarters as
an organizer and was supplied with
membership blanks and other neces-
sary forms. Upon publication of his
confession the league took prompt steps
to expel him from the organization.
He had committed the objectionable
crime of being caught with the goods
on him.
This confession shows conclusively
the qualifications of all league or
ganizers and prominent workers, as
has been frequently published in the
Journal the past few months. He
seems to have
First-A good, rotten past;
Second-He is not too honest;
Third-He is a radical, ranting red
card man.
These are the qualifications estab-
lished byTownley for any and all of his
workers. Poor little shriveled up Mann
is not an exceptional individual among
these organizers. Before he went out
as an organizer he was schooIed by the
big thieves above him as to just ex-
actly what he should say and how he
should say it. Every one of the other
forty or fifty organizers in Idaho have
been drilled in the same manner. The
moment any one of them departs the
slightest from the line of talk in which
they have been schooled, that moment
he loses his job as an organizer. Were
the officers to pick up each of the other
Idaho organizers by the slack of the
pants and nape of the neck and shake
him until he confesses he would have
to confess to xactly the same things
as Mann. Their trails are all Shiny
WIN tiCeioOh etlld ScQlilOtt. 1Iey are
sent out for the express purpose of
inoculating the loyal citizens of Idaho
with the virus of treason and sed1tion
The great query in every loyal mind is
why are the energies of the officers ex-
pended to exhaustion on these little
petty thieves who fitch tn SIS from the
farmers while the Huns who employ
them and instruct them in their petty
work are unmolested. Not many
months ago the Journal stated that It
proposed to keep up the fight on these
Non-Partisan leaders until they either
purged their order of treason, left the
state. or landed In the penitentiary.
The burden of the fight has been large |
ly fitted from the Journal at this time
by reason of the political turn events |
have taken. The late primary elec- |
ton placed the issue squqarely before |
Idaho voters on state matters you eth |
er vote the Republican ticket or you |
vote the o-German ticket. The Huns |
are after your votes. A vote for the |
Non Partisan ticket is an invitation to |
the Kaiser to take heart, America is |
not all against him.

SUICIDE is CONFESSION.

On September "a the Federal grand
jury at Wichita, Kansas, brought in
indictments against some 33 members
of the I. w. w. on a charge of sedition.
u. S. District Attorney Fred Robert
son presented evidence to the jury
showing that the I. w. w. had planned
to overthrow the U. S. government as
the eliminating act of a reign of ter
ror and forcible seizure of property

ing threats, assaults, injuries, intfmi-
dations and murders. The use of "df-
rect action" Sabotage" working on

tics" Their plans included forcibIe
resistance to enforcement of all laws
and FINALLY the FoRCIBLE OVER
THROW OF ALL EXISTING GOV
ERNMENT IN THE UNITED
STATES.
Among the Evidence collected from
this bunch is an agreement between
the l. w w. and the NON-PARTISAN
LEAGUE for close cooperation.
On Sept. 26. in the county Jail at
Wichita, one of the principal leaders
of the bunch gathered in, Stephen
Shurin by name, aged 81, committed
suicide by cutting his throat. This
method of escape from the punishment
sure to be meted out in time is re-
spectfully commended to Ray McKaig,
Sholtz, Samuels, Nugent and the rest
OF the leaders of this gang, here in
Idaho.
II any loyal citizen doubts that the
tactics outlined in the above evidence
is not being used in Idaho by the Non
Partisan league they are invited to in
vestigate the history of the Journal dur
ing the past six months in which every
one of those methods have been en-
ployed. Threats, assaults. intimida-

and who are running on the
Democratic state ticket which they
tole from the party organization. and
he loyal citizens of Idaho who are run
ing on the Republican ticket. At the

CAR SHORTAGE APPEAL
WIRED SENATOR BORAH
Frank r. Gooding Points Out Situation
and Asks for Government Help.

Frank r. Gooding Points Out Situation
and Asks for Government Help.
Frank r. Gooding wired an appeal to
Senator Borah on Monday in the mat
ter of car shortage for wheat ship
ments. The message explains itself.
1t is as follows:
Hon. w. E. Borah,
U. S. Senate,
Washington. D. c.
I regret to advise you that very
serious condition exists in Idaho owing
to the shortage of railroad cars and the
embargo that is on wheat. In the face
of this discouragement, however, Idaho
will go over the top in this bond issue
in a short time.
Those who understand the situation
are not finding fault with the railroads,
as we know they are straining every
nerve and every man in their employ
is loyal and giving his best service.
Idaho has a tremendous wheat crop
this year. With the exception of fruit.
the state is reaping a bountiful har-
vest. VIII you be kind enough to take
this matter up with Idaho's delega-
tion in congress and see if more liberal
rules and regulations cannot be given
to the federal reserve banks doing bus
mess in Idaho?
If it is possible arrangements should
be made where the government can
advance rs per cent of the value of the
wheat to the farmer until such time as
Idaho's crops can be moved. If this
embargo lasts long or there is con-
tinued shortage of cars. a very serious
condition will follow. Something
should be done to meet what threat
ems to be a most serious situation in
idaho.
(Signed) F. r. Gooding.

EVERY MEMBER CANVASS.

Should anyone have been sceptical as
to the merits of an Every Member
Canvass" they would Immediately be
undeceived had they heard the talk
given on the subject at the Christian
church last Sunday morning. by the
pastor. Rev. J. X. Norman.
In very informal and simple man.
ner he explained in detail the many
reasons why all churches should adopt
this system. which has become so pop
ular in other sections of the state, in
fact all over the country.
The secret and the main reason for
adopting the ''everv member canvass
is 10 inculcate into the membership the
Importance of every member of the
church giving something and giving it
every week.
The Ever Member Canvass means the
personal solicitation Of every member
of the congregation. for a pledge on
the weekly plan, for the whole mission
AIRY and benevolent task the solicita-
tion to be made by trained canvsssers
going two by two.
The plan was introduced by the Men
and Millions movement several years
ago and has been carefully tried out in
many communities and thousands of
churches and failure has never been
been reported where the canvass has
been thoroughly made.
The canvass is tc be made next Sun
day afternoon by csnvassers from the
Christian church and it is hoped that
eyery member approached will give il
his hearty endorsement and subscribe
literally to the budget that has been
made out for the year 1918.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS
TO Be REVISED

Owing to the many changes that have

and the fact that msnv of the farms OF
the county have been cut in two anC
some cases in three tracts. it will be
necessary to re.district or revise the
boundaries in most of the school dis.
tricts of the county.
IL has been ten years since these
boundaries were revised and owing "a
the many changes these boundaries are
entirely out Of date. 1t does not mean
