THANKSGIVING PEACE PROGRAM
Defense Council Has Plans for Oh
seryance OF Thanksgiving Day

At the meeting of the Boundary
county defense council held last even
ing it was decided that the ending Of
the war should be observed in an APP
manner on Thanksgiving
day and a committee composed of
w. T. James, Douglas Palmer and t.
S. Kerr was appointed to arrange for
the program of the day.
This committee has been asked to
meet at once and arrange its program.
1t is proposed to have an outdoor
meeting, on Main street, if the weather
permits. One of the features of the
program of the day will be the flag
raising and l.. n. Brown, who will
have charge of this event, is DESTROYS

Who SHOULD HAVE CREDIT
FOR RECENT REPUBLICAN VICTORY

certainly has nothing behind it to
which it is comparable.
"One of the outstanding features
was the failure of the national demo-
cratic committee to support the
straight democratic candidate for
United States senator Frank l.. Moore,
although the committee was in the
Idaho game up to it's neck in behalf
of Senator Nugent.
Mating this situation, partially at
least. was an absence of any campaign
for Senator Borah by the republican
national committee, although this may
be accounted for by the fact that all
students of Idaho politics early con-
cluded that Senator Borah needed no
help from the outside. OF course,
President Wilson's political appeal
helped Borah some, and if, as stated,
the president was more interested in
his reelection than in the election of
straight democrat like Moore, the
unusual character of the campaign is
emphasized
Senator Nugent was backed strong
ly by the national administration and
the national democratic committee, al
though the non-partisan league lead
ers who were behind Senator Nugent
were being fought by the national
democratic administration and COM
mittee in North DakOta-another un-
usual situation.
Former Governor Gooding. repub-
lican, defeated, as indicated, by Sena-
tor Nugent, made the big fight on the
republican side. He directed his
batteries against the non-partisar
league leaders and had nothing to say
about his own candidacy. Mr.. Good
ing's fight aided nightly in the elect
ion of a republican state ticket, but
the present figures show that he alone
on the republican side, went down tC
defeat by small margin. This, it il
indicated, was contributed to by g
switch of democrats who bitterly OPP
posed the non-partisan league endorse
ments at the beginning but who were
influenced by the national admins
tration. These, it seems, however
must have voted for and supported tn,
republican state ticket as the loss o
the republicans who went into tn,
league seems to have been Offset from
outside the republican party.
THE defeat of the bipartisan
league candidates was not due to an!
other cause, in our opinion, than lacl
of faith on the part of the genera
public in the leagues leadership, an'
the belief that those leaders were, il
effect, socialist. The league member
ship was not large enough, if it hal
all voted the LEAGUE ticket, which wa
I, not the case. to elect it and the he'll
expected from the outside did not ma
terialize. largely for the reasons W
have stated.
There was also the question of tn

WAR WORK CAMPAIGN MOVES
SLOWLY in BOUNDARY COUNTY

According to- all reports now in the
hands of r. S. Kerr, secretary and
treasurer of the United War Work
campaign, less than 81 900 of Bound
airy county's quota of $1,000 has been
subscribed. About 5000 has been sub
scribed in Boomers Ferry but not more
than half the population of the town
has been solicited. But few of the
country districts have made reports
todate Most of the camps Of the
county have been visited by Chairman
Kent and his committees of solicitors
and the men havs, in most cases, gu
en- freely.
Most of the counties of Idaho have
more than raised their quotas and
they did this early last week. Some
counties, like, Boundary, are way be-
hind in their subscriptions. In this
county the campaign for United War
Work funds has been seriously ham,
pered on account of so many being i'll
with Spanish influenza. 1t has not
been possible for the workers to So
licit in many homes and half or more
of the workers themselves have been
sick County Chairman Kent has ad-
vised the state chairman of the con-
ditions here and has been advised
that the county will be given an adj
ditional week in which to raise and
oversubscribe its quota.

strenuous effort this week to put this
county over the top in its drive for

The X. V. Times is somewhat peeved
over the comment the Herald made
last week in regard to the results of
the general election and it gets under
the skin of the Times editor to hear
few nice things about the G. o. p.
Veal" know just how the editor of
the Times feels about the election
we felt the same way about two years
ago.
1t seems a bit far fetched though for
the Times to assert that no republican
paper in this county should have any
credit for the results of the recent
election. This sounds a great deal
like some of the fiction" that Editor
Mcintyre likes to talk about. If there
is no credit due to the republican pa
per then it must be that the demo-
cratic organ wants to hog all the
credit BY Hech, we're generous.
Go ahead and take the credit. The
Times can have all the credit of every
election from now until doomsday so
long as. the results are the same in
both the =seate and county columns
as they were this time.
1t is true that the Herald did not
follow the tactics of the Times in its
fight against the non-partisan league.
The Herald did not believe that the
ridiculing of league members and
advertising them as suckers" and
"dupes" would result in their chang
ing their minds.
1t is also true that the democratic
papers of the county, who are not
afraid to say their soles are their own,
spread over page and page to tell the
people how disastrous it would be to
elect any non-partisan league candi-
date. The Times wouldn't even sup
port a candidate who was endorsed
by the league. OH No. Not even If
the endorsement came unsolicited
But the Times did print an article
Just before election which was headed
with a paragraph telling how the en-
tire democratic county ticket should
have the support of the voters and at
the tail end was wee word of praise
for Jos. Barto, the avowed non-parti-
san league nominee on the democratic
ticket for the house of representatives

MORE WORK FOR
DEFENSE COUNCIL

Even the end of the present war will
not see the end of the activities of the
county defense councils. They will
play an important and prominent part
in the reconstruction period that is to
follow. In fact it is quite likely that
the duties of the county councils will
be more numerous after the war than
they are at the present time. 1t is
evident that the government proposes
to depend upon them more and more
as time passes.
Franklin X Lane, secretary of the
interior, points out this fact in the
following message to the Idaho state
council:
81 earnestly beg that you do not
relax your efforts in the slightest de-
gree on account of the possibility of
the early ending of the war. Even if
an armistice should be concluded it
does not mean the war is over and in
any case the emergency will not be
over for a long time. Most of the
work you have been called on to per-
form must go on undiminished and ev-
cry man an woman in the council of
defense system will stay on the job"
The special committee appointed by
the state defense council to investigate
the very important question of reha-
Utilization of disabled and returned
soldiers is now working on report.
This subject needs the attention of
everyone interested in the solving of
the reconstruction problem Idaho's
soldiers and sailors must be we'll cared
for. 1t will do very well to give them
the royal welcome they deserve, but
that will not suffice. They must also
have employment in keeping with their
ability for they have to return to civ
ilian life. County councils cannot
make their plans to meet this problem
too early and the state committee adj
vises that county committees should
be appointed to deal with this subject
With the cessation of hostilities the
transfer of troops back to the United
States will be rapid and their care
will be the immediate problem of the
hour. Idaho should not delay min
ute in laying it's plans.

today: 1T is imperative that the cit
liens of Boundary county wake up and
do their duty in this United War
Work campaign. Our county has al
ways gone over the top in everything
that has been requested of it. We
must not fail now when victory is in
sight. We cannot afford to become
our quota and we can let no excuses
of sickness prevent our endeavors.
We must stand by the boys who will
be returning to us the coming year
and we must aid the organizations
that have been helping our boys in
the camps and in the trenches. The
money being asked is needed and more
will probably be required before our
boys come home. We must give and
give freely. Our gifts now should be
large enough to express our joy that
the world war is ended. We should
celebrate the ending of the war by
giving to this patriotic cause.
