News from Khaki Bows

N. Williamson, well known mer-
| chant who bought $4,000 worth of
Liberty bonds of the fourth loan, is
in receipt of the following letter from
his son, Jack, who is with the "Motor
Tigers" in France:
Sept. "a. 1918-Dear Father: Just
returned home to our base today
and found your three letters waiting
for me. | got the money order cashed
at the Y. M. c.. A. alright. Many
thanks; it sure helps out lot to
have some money when you are out
on the road as there is no telling
what you're going to need or when.
I've never been able to cash the draft
yet, though.
We'll, | wish | could tell you where
I've been and what I've been doing
but | can't SO I'll just say that we've
been getting our share of the excite
ment. | guess you've heard what the
engineers have done in the big
drives at the front I'm going to
stick with the engineers and see it
through. thought I'd rather go in
the tanks" but the E. M T. S. is
just as good and the field of action
is wider. Driving a truck here is no
mere driving job, there is an awful
lot to it. I've managed to stay out
of the hospitals so far.
80 you tried to send me a pack
age? | knew you couldn't send one
without an order from our c.. o. I
don't need anything that l can't get
over here. Our wants are pretty
well taken care of by the Y. M. C. A.
and other organizations. Uncle Sam
sees that we get plenty to eat and |
enough clothes to keep US warm. AS
for place to sleep, well l can 'flop''
on the hard side of a 2x4 and sleep
very comfortably without rolling off.
So Jim is cover here" now? Send
me his company and regimental num-
bers and | may see him some time.
see an awful lot of different outfits
in my travels.
WAS glad to hear you had good
harvest. News like that always
sounds good to US fellows over here.
So you are retiring from business?
Well, you know what is best. You
keep on shooting the ammunition and
the grub over to us and I'll take
care OF this end of the business for
The Williamson family. l wrote your
brother, Tom in Ireland and I'll try
and get over to see him in a few
months. So the old "Cad" is run

SAYS H. F. SAMUELS
FAILED TO DO DUTY
bartlett SINCLAIR TELLS HOW
NONPARTIZAN CANDIDATE
HELPED |. w. w.

There are many honest thinking people
in Idaho today who believe that H. F
/ Samuels, candidate of the non-partisan
/ league for governor of Idaho, is ar
/ honest, handwriting farmer. Perhaps
he is, perhaps the pictures of him driving
six-horse team at farm work which
have been printed four-column size in
the Idaho Leader are true to facts. But
if they are, does that qualify Mr. Sam
uels for the executive office of the state
of Idaho?
Samuels was not always a farmer
Neither has he amassed the fortune with
which he is credited as tiller of the
soil. Samuels has been an office holder
"a prosecuting attorney of Shoshone
county. Let Bartlett Sinclair, who, at
the time Samuels was prosecuting at
torney, was auditor of the state of Idaho,
tell the story of Samuels' failure to do
his sworn duty as an officer of Sho-
shone county. 1t was in the days of the
Occur d'Alene riots in 1889, when Gov
ernor Steuenberg was forced-to declare
martial law. Mr. Sinclair says:
CAT that time H. F. Samue1s, the nom
partisan candidate for governor. was
prosecuting attorney of Shoshone coun-
ty, the scene of the Instruction. He
had personal knowledge that murders
had been committed and that the great
mills of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany had been destroyed by the rioters
and that hundreds of workmen thereby
had been thrown out of employment, and
yet he took no action to punish the
offenders.
'As administrator of martial law I
appealed to him to do something to vim
dictate the state and the law He re-
fused
"Samuels was then forced to go before
the courts and disqua1ify himself in all
trials growing out of the Occur d'Alene
riots
ITO perform the duty he had sworn
to perform other attorneys, at great ex-
Dense, had to be retained by the state.
Senator Borah, James H. Hawley and |
]. H. Forney were three of the attorneys
so retained
In the prosecution Samuels took alb
'olutely no part.
ITO again entrust him and his allied |
with the highest powers of
government at this time of our country's
rails is dangerous in the extreme
This is the farmer" for whom the I
are asking the people of
IDAHO to vote. This is the man whose
icture is being p1acarded upon flaming
'illboards along with that of the Presi-
lent Wilson in an effort to foist him
pon the people as governor of Idaho.
Do you want it? Do you want an
x-attorney who failed to perform his
uty as the state prosecutor for your
overnor?
H. F. Samuels is backed by the nom
artisan league, which has Systematically
altered to itself the pro-German and
w. W. element of the state Of Idaho.
his is true in Boundary county and it
true in every county of the state Is
not time for honest and really pa
lotto men and women who have I'M
allied themselves with these
ements to cut loose? Learn the truth
nd act upon it before it is too late

MARKET QUOTATIONS
CORN is STEADY AT
NO NEW PEACE TALK

Chicago. Oct pending fresh
peace developments. the liquida-
ton by holders of corn seemed to-
day to have largely exhausted, it
self Shorts covered freely. and
forced substantial upturns in val
ues. When demand from shorts
had been satisfied. however, sup
port was lacking, and a bearish re-
action ensued.
Subsequently, bearish crop esti-
mates led TO increased selling, and
for a while brought about pro
nounced weakness. The close was
unsettled, sc to 1&4c net lower,
with November at 129& TO 1895
and December at 1.27& to 1878.
Opening prices, which varied
from the same as yesterdays fin
ish to Z cent niger, with NOvem-
Der 1914 to 1924 and Decem-
Der l-29 to l.29 Z, were followed by
slight additional gains and a break
10 well below initial figures.
Oats swayed with corn. Trade
was of only moderate volume
After opening a shade off to u up,
with November 7012 10 70&, the
market underwent moderate sag.
Provisions were neglected. Scat
tered buying gave a little strength
10 ribs, but the effect failed to last.
