"STAND BY THE WAR" is THE
REPUBLICAN SLOGAN.

In his address at Grand Rapids,
VIII H. Hays, the brilliant and ag-
gressive chairman of the national re-
publican committee, coined new
phrase to express the attitude of re-
publicans toward the war. 1t is not
enough to say that we are standing
by the president. Republicans are
doing that and they are doing more.
Their slogan is Stand by the War"
This not only means to stand by the
president in all his efforts to bring
victory to the allied armies, hut, as
Mr.. Hays points out ii means to stand
by every public official, high or low.

A PERTINENT PARABLE.
(Wall Street JournaD

Now 1t came to pass in the latter
days that William the Butcher made
war upon civilization. Then Woodrow,
ruler of Columbia, summoned his ex-
chequer, called congress, and said
Behold, war is here. See to 1t that |
have the sinews Make sequins as
plentiful as the sands of the sea-" Then
congress looked abroad upon the land
and saw a beautiful grove of palms,
and the owner was called Industry.
Then congress said: Here Is where |

dustry tax equal to almost half the
product of the grove. Then Industry
bowed his face to the ground and said

Allen of this city, for the contribu-
ton which appears on another page
and which seems to be the most plau-
sible explanation of the origin and

how the crude jargon of the Indian

that was subsequently adopted as the
name of this splendid commonwealth.

LEAD AND ZINC MINERS NEED
TARIFF PROTECTION.

No republican can justify his vote
for democratic candidate for sena-
tor or representative in Idaho this
year. The chief industries Of the
state are mining, farming. numbering
and stockraising, and the prosperity
OF all these depends upon protective
tariff. Do not permit this fact to be
obscured by the high prices and I'M
limited demand for all products of
the state which have prevailed since
the beginning of the war. The end of
the war is now only matter of
months, possibly weeks, and then we
will be back on the same industrial
basis that existed just prior to the
war 1t is well at this time to refresh
our memory on that period One of
the largest lead producers of the
Occur dAlene district had suspended
operations and practically all other
lead mines had curtailed production
and were seriously considering sus
pension. The price of lead was 1915
per hundred and the price Of zinc was
CORRESPONDENCE low. Business stag
ration prevailed throughout the
country, and lines of laboring men
waiting their turns to be served with
free soup were familiar sights in the
industrial centers of the east Mills
and factories were idle, building OPP
erations were at a standstil and pub
lie improvements had ceased, and
with these vanished the market for
lead and zinc. Have you forgotten
this depressing period of only four
years ago? Have you forgotten that
the only thing that changed this con-
dition was the war in Europe, which
started on August /, 1914, and that
otherwise there would have been a
complete collapse of the mining indus
try in this district?
The same law, the Underwood free
trade tariff law, that brought disaster
upon the country then is still in OPP
Grafton and with the close of the wal
conditions. The only escape is in the
election of a republican senate and

BORAH'S LOYAL ElOQUENCE
sTlRs THE PEOPLE.

On September 81 memorial tablet
was unveiled in Prospect park, Brook
Ign, in honor of the soldiers or New
York who had lost their lives glori-
ously fighting for the cause of free
dom in France. The dedicatory ad-
dress was delivered by Senator Will
liam E. Borah In anticipation of his
mastery address, the New York
Times referred to the recent speech by
Senator Borah in the course of the de-
bate on the bill fixing the price of
wheat. In the course of that memoir
able debate some senator suggested
that the successful prosecution of the
war demanded a radical change in our
republican form of government. OF
Senator Borah's speech on this occa-
sion, in which he denounced and re-
PEELED the insidious suggestion, the
Times said. 1T was hailed by those
who heard it as one of the most stir
ring and convincing utterances OF an
American leader since we entered the
war" Here Is an extract from that
historic address, and every Idahoan
should experience a feeling of patri-
cite pride in the fact that the eloquent
speaker is a senator from this state;
1T has often been said, since the
war began, Mr. President, that
republic can not make war. l

If republic can not make war, If
it can not stand the ordeal of con-
flict, why, in the name of the liv-
ing God, are our boys on the
western front? Are they there to
suffer and die for a miserable
craft that can only float in the
serene breeze of the summer seas
and must sink or drive for port on
the first coming on of the storm?
No; they are there to defend

the banks that have battled with
the ocean of time. A republic can
make war. 1t can make war sue
cessfully and triumphantly, and
remain a republic, every hour Of
the conflict. The genius who pre-
sided over the organization of this
republic, whose impressive force
is knit into every fibre of our ma
tional organization, was the great
est soldier, save one, of the mod
ern world, and the most Jarvis
toned leader and statesman of all
time. He knew that though de-
voted to peace the time would
come when the republic would
have to make war. over and over
again he solemnly. warned his
countrymen to be ever ready and
always prepared. He intended,
therefore, that this republic should
make war, and make war effect
lively. and the republic which
Washington framed and baptized
with his love can make war. Let
these faithless recreants cease to
preach their pernicious doctrine"

The Heart of the Kultured Hun.
(Bv Rev. D. M. Helmick)

There are things revealed by this cruel war
That will bide when day is done
Not the hero so much with his CHASTITY scar
AS the heart of the kultured Hun.
There are stories that make us shout the praise
Of the boys behind the gun;
But the tongue is palsied to speak the ways
OF the heart of the kutured Hum
We speak of the courage OF Miss Cavell
AS she faced the German gum
But for cowardice as black as hell
See the heart of the kultured Hun
There are cruel things on history's page
Written since time begun
But naught that equals the brutal rage
In the heart of the kultured Hun
There've been falsehoods told to injure man,
And falsehoods told in fun;
Rut the fount of lies of deliberate plan
Is the heart of the kutured Hum
There are shades of dark by the night god hurled
When was turned the face OF the sum-
R,t no night is as black in this sin-cursed world
AS the heart of the kultured Hun.

AT n point of the line where the
trenches were very close, a stake was
driven into the ground midway be-
tween the hostile lines. At night when
1t was his turn, Tommy would crawl
to this stake and attach some London
papers to it, while at the foot he would

and other d%elicacies tina. M had re-

The next night Tommy would go out

but a funny thing, Tommy v re-

Tommy lost his job.
One night a young English sergeant
crawled to the stake and us he tried to

ploded and mangled him horribly. Fritz
had set a trap and gained another vic
tim which was only one more black
mark against him in the book Of this
war. From that time on diplomatic re-

ton is given to supplying green feed
regularly and a%bundantly. Heavy egg
production is not desired. The object
Is to have the birds in perfect physi-
cal condition and at the height Of vi
tality, that they may more surely
transmit these qualities to their Off
spring.
The greatest difficulty in backyard
breeding is rearing the young birds to
secure their best development. AS
growing birds are more susceptible to
adverse conditions than mature birds,
and birds in close confinement are less
rugged than those at liberty, the back
yard breeder must give the most scru-
pulous attention to every detail of the
care Of his young chickens. Short
comings which might have no bad con-
sequences with the adult birds, or
with young chickens under more favor
able conditions, may have very serious
Ill effects upon his young stock. How
ever, by looking properly after all
their wants and taking care not to
overcrowd them in any way, fine speci-
mems may be grown in yards where
the space allowance is not more than
20 to 30 square feet per bird.

"Chats With Fritz"

SHdt0 Will TTIIZ.
We were swimming in money, from
the receipts of our theatrical venture,
and had forgotten all about the war,
when an order came through that our
brigade would again take over their
sector Of the line.
The day that these orders were is
sued, our captain assembled the COM
pany and asked for volunteers to go to
the Machine Gun school at St. Omar.
I volunteered and was accepted.
Sixteen men from our brigade left
for the purse in machine gunnery.
This course lasted two weeks and W.
rejoined our unit and were assigned to
the brigade machine gun company. 1t
almost broke my heart to leave my
company mates.
The gun we used was the Vickers,

trench.
During the day our gun would be
dismounted on the fire step ready for
instant use. We shared a dugout with
the Lewis gunners. At "stand to" we
would mount our gun on the parapet
and go on watch beside it until "stand
down" in the morning. Then the gun
would be dismounted and again placed
An readiness o. the fire step.
We did eight days in the front-line
trench without anything unusual hap
pening outside of the ordinary trench
routine. On the night that we were to
"carry out" a bombing raid against the
&erman lines was pulled off. This raid
ing party consisted of sixty company
men, sixteen, hombers, and four Lewis
machine guns with their crews.
~ The raid took the Boches by surprise
and was a complete success, the party
bringing back twenty-one prisoners.
The Germans must have been awful

I got out the rum jar and gave each
a nip and passed around some Tags,
the old reliable Woodbines. The other
prisoners looked their gratitude, but
the big fellow said in English, "Thank
you, sir, the rum is excellent and I ap-
p%reciate it. also your Kindness"
He told me his name was Carl
Schmidt, Of the Sixty-sixth Bavarian
Light infantry; that he had lived six
years in New York (knew the city bet
ter than 1 did), had been to Coney
island and many of our ball games. He
was a regular fan. I couldn't make him
believe that Hans Wagner wasn't the
best ball player in the world.
From New York he had gone to Lon
don, where he worked as a waiter in
the Hotel Russell. Just before the war
he went home to Germany to see his
parents, the war came and he was con.
scripted.
He told me he was very sorry to
hear that London was in ruins from
the Zeppelin raids. I could not con-
vince him otherwise, for hadn't he seen
moving pictures in one of the German
cities of st. Paul's cathedral in ruins.
I changed the subject because he
was so stubborn in his belief. It was
my intention to try and pump him for
information as to the methods Of the
German snipers, who had been cals-
ing us trouble in the last few days.
1 preached the subject and he shut
up like a clam. After a few minutes
he very innocently said:
German snipers get paid rewards
for killing the English"
I eagerly asked, what are they?"
He answered:
"For killing or wounding an English
private, the sniper gets one mark. For

ness"
Then he paused, waiting for me- to
bite, I suppose.
I bit all right and asked him why the
sniper was punished for killing an
English general. With a smile he re-
piled:
"Well, you see, If all the English gen.
erals were killed, there would be no
n left to make costly Mistakes"

To the outsider, the very thought Of
peltry in u hot, humid climate dur.
ing July and August, is depressing; but
there are thousands who are not so
easily depressed by a circumstance
over which they have full control.
They want fur; they like to wear It.,
and it pleases them to make a piquant
contrast between their costume and the
thermometer.
Therefore, the designers will let
them have their way. They not only
give them separate pieces of fur, but
gowns trimmed with it, capes bordered
with it and blouses heaped with 1t.
Mind you, they are not stingy about
fur on these new clothes. There is not
a tiny fringe of it on a chiffon rufle,
as in other days, but it is used in a
bold and lavish manner. such as 20.
inch bands, medieval sleeves and huge

It does not take superfine reckoning
to realize that the American sealskin is

We are not only going to embellish

delightedly find that the designers are
