all who are oppressed. including the
more deadly sex, are coming into their

this noncommital record may have
been broken In the issues of Sunday

but if so, 1t is only additional evidence
of the cowardice of the control, for

through the business office, its elev-
enth- hour editorial utterances are a
matter of indifference to the voters
of the state.
AS to the Capital News, it has al
ways been on the political auction

its standard. 1t has opposed the nom

A strong republican daily paper in
Boise, one that stands for sound and
definite principles of government, one
that courageously and intelligently
combats the insidous propaganda of
such organizations as the nonpartisan
league without regard to it's effect

has convictions and expresses them
with fearless candor with the view to
creating and maintaining a lively
public interest in those questions
which concern the welfare and happi-
ness of the people of the state; a pa
per with the breadth of vision that
extends beyond the confines of the
capital city, that embraces the entire
commonwealth and it's relations to the
people and to the national govern
ment; a paper that refuses to permit
its editorial policy to be dictated by
the business office; a paper that Is
republican because it believes in the
principles of the republican party and
that advocates those principles con-
sistently, but free from biased and
unreasoning partisan influence. Such
paper would WELD tremendous
influence upon the political thought
of the state, and the need for such a
paper was never more strikingly
brought to public attention than dur
ing the campaign just closed, when

past so years, this country would have
remained what the southern sectional
politicians Of the pre-Civil war period
intended it should be, an agricultural
dependency of Europe of small ac-
count in the affairs of the world.
Such a country would have occupied
a pitiable position during the present
war, its prosperity wrecked by con-
ditions abroad. Through the republic
can policy of protection the United
States has achieved economic indie
pendence. Under republican tariff
legislation the wealth of the United
states increased during the decade

TO HOLD LIBERTY BONDS is PA
TRlOTlC AND WISE.

The wide distribution among mil =
lions of American citizens of Liberty
loan bonds makes our Liberty loans,
according to Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoos expressed opinion, the
soundest of national financing. That
these bonds be kept widely distributed
amongst the American people is of
great Importance to the nation and to
the individual holders of the bonds.
United States government bonds in
the past have gone above par, as high
as $1S9 for a 500 4 per cent bond.
That Liberty bonds will go we'll above
par when peace comes Is. very prob
able. Holding ones Liberty bonds,
therefore is wise as well as patriotic
Every holder of Liberty loan bond
should heed the caution to hold to his
or her bonds, because there are going
to be great efforts by shrewd and I'M
scrupulous people to buy or secure at
inadequate prices these bonds from
holders who are not well informed as
to stock and bond values.
Worthless or near worthless stock
or stock of only speculative value
wildcat stocks" they are called-are
going to be offered for Liberty bonds.
Some will be urged not to sell or ex-
change their Liberty bonds, but to
buy the stock and give the Liberty
bonds as security for the purchase
price. This is a camouflaged attempt
to get Liberty bonds in exchange for
the stocks of their companies.
If every holder of Liberty bond
will consult a bank before he disposes
Of it, the get-rich quick concerns will
not prosper but the individual bond
holders will. and the American peo-
ole as whole will be benefited.

one of its future acts. The gold PAID
over. under duress as indemnity,
would become its boast of greatness
its demonstration to on-coming gem
erations of ability in the future TO
wipe out the defeat of 1918 by forcing
the world to accept the pan German
yoke. When Bismarck defeated
France In 1871 he imposed upon her
an indemnity so great that all men
thought it involved the collapse and
downfall of that nation, but 1t proved
only a stimulus to industry and THRIFT.
France paid it, and laughed as Her
cules laughed at the penalty imposed
for his affair with Linus; his exile
merely offered the opportunity to be-
gin the twelve labors that covered his
name with mythic glory. The nation
that Bismarck believed he had crush
ed with a mountainous financial bur-
den met the helmeted barbarians of
1914 at the Marine with shock that
shattered their dreams Of conquest,
and saved the world from destruction.
We must beware how we measure in
terms of money the things that are
above or beneath barter and sale. A
fine imposed is not an indignity; 1t Is
only putting a price on the thing that
Is called in question. We must not
forget that the Germany of Bismarck
used the plausible excuse Of plotting
emperor as it's casus belli, but 1t as
sessed it's damages upon the French
after their emperor had become
prisoner at Wilhelmshohe, while they
themselves were in the throes of re-
organization as a republic. Not thus
are nations Inundated. Even in fin
ance the great names derive more
honor and power from the magnitude
of their liabilities, while they are in
full career, than could come from the
inactive balance after liquidation. Let
us not commit the error Of negotiat-
ing with brigand people that is SIM
ply halted In it's campaign of loot.

BRITISH WOOLEN MILLS GET
AMERICAN CONTRACTS.

The Fort Wayne News comments
on the fact that the factories in Eng
land are making 100000 uniforms
for the United States army, stating,
I'VE were not aware, before the i'm
parting Of this information, that the
factories of the United States were
too busy to take on contract of this
sort Indeed, we doubt very serious
ly whether the managers of our fac
tories knew it." A correspondent of
the New York Journal of Commerce,
imparting the information that gov
eminent requirements have assumed
such proportions that there seems
little, If any, likelihood of the war in
dustres board releasing wool for
civilian use, says: Prom present in
dications, when the stocks of wool
now on hand for civilian manufact-
ure are exhausted, the mills will eth
er have to take government contracts
to maintain operation or close down.
But it is not believed that government
orders can keep all mills occupied"
Meanwhile, with this situation staring
America in the face, our war junto
goes ahead and unloads contracts in
Great Britain for millions of dollars
worth of uniforms, which if let here
would insure a lengthy period of pro-
ductive industry to our own mills and
mill operatives. And the mills of
Great Britain have about all they can
attend to in clothing the British SOL
diery. If our war industries board
has undertaken systematic plan to
wreck our northern and New England
wool clothing mills with a view to
turning the entire industry over to
Great Britain so that, under con-
tinuing free trade policy England will
have a grasp on our market firmer
than she had in the years before the
civil war; the board is certainly show
ing its ability to put the plan into the
most effective execution. An extern
sion of such a policy as this, and with
the free trade of tomorrow standing
guard over the industrial wreckage of
today, the south would at length
realize its long desire to sell it's raw
materials to England, taking payment
in British manufactures produced at
so per cent of the American wage and

There Is one sentence in the pres

the universal attention of our peo-

United States will approve of no de-

Justice
1t was the German people who gave
to their kaiser absolute power of his
own will to make war. 1t was the
German people who saw him and the
military classes about him for forty
years getting ready to make war. 1t
was the German people who gave to
him the money and the service that
enabled him to make those prepare
tions. 1t was the German people who
saw him, when those preparations
had been completed, without provo
cation the slightest, declare war, and
it was the German people who
promptly, joyfully, ambitiously, with
flowers and decorations, emptied their
homes of their young men in answer
to his call for warriors. And for four
years it is the German people who
have seen him devastate and have
helped him to devastate all of the
earth and all of the seven seas that
he could get at. And it is the Ger
man people who have applauded him
and urged him on-until now.
They see now that in folly and
crime he has been the most unspeak-
able ass and villain that human his
tory has had to take note of. But how
comes it that they see this? He and
they have failed in what he and they
intended and undertook, and in the
ashes of defeat they see that their
villainy is folly.
Then, is there any peace of justice
that can be reconcilable with the hon

claim of "honor!" !
