president Of the First National bank
of Boise, Idaho, If he was familiar

FARM

This campaign will be given state
wide publicity and workers outside

sage throughout the state. The
United States government will at
the same time conduct nationwide
campaign to develop interest in
nationwide agricultural war pro-
gram.
The statewide campaign will CEN
ter about the reorganization of the
county programs of work. AS a re-
suit, the farm bureau should develop
a state agricultural war program and
the people as whole in the state
of Idaho should Know more fully
what farm bureaus mean. It is ex-
pected, furthermore, that the organ
ization throughout the state will be
by the addition of at

Paris Newspapers Wax Enthusiastic
Over Wilson Reply

PARIS, Oct. 1.-Enthusiastc ap-
proval given President Wilson's re-
ply to Germany by the morning news
papers today. The Figaro says Pre-
sident Wilson's depth OF thought and
staunch loyalty no longer permit the
Germans to compromise with defeat.
It adds that 1t puts the question of
German morality with singular force
and that is the question which
divides the world.
The president, the Petit Jarisien
says, seeks to prepare the separation
of the German nation from its pre-
sent rulers and, II he succeeds, Prus-
sian militarism will be dead.

LETTERS BETTER THAN FOOD

Our head sergeant gets up on a
box with his arms loaded with letters
and calls out mail" 1t goes along
the line like wild fire. Where it
usually takes the men about five min
utes to assemble for drill call or
police duty, and about two or three
minutes for mess call, I'll bet that
within thirty seconds the whole COM
pany is assembled when they hear
"The mail in." Then they all stand
as silently as II it were a funeral SO
as not to miss single name as the
sergeant calls them out. Some go
leaping and yelling with Joy with two
or three letters, or perhaps with one.
The more unfortunate ones often
leave with tears in their eyes. The
day the mail come is a bigger day
than pay day.

PAUL ALLRED's REJOINDER.

In our Mondays paper we pub.
lished statement by Andrew Ander-
son indicating that Paul Alfred had
given a check to a liberty bond sales
man, that nobody would have any
trouble to stop payment on. This
was in answer to a statement BY
Alfred that he had gone back on the
Non-partisans and had stopped pay
ment on his check made to the league
for membership. y.
Mr.. Alfred answers Anderson with
a rather wandering letter in which
he neither admits nor denies the
charge about his check. He begins
his letter by addressing the editor,
and then near the close he addresses
his remarks to Anderson. We are
always willing to give space to COM
munications by others, but we like
to have them directed to some pur-i
pose. In other words, people who
write for publication are urged to
60 straight to the point like rats
tail. Here is the Alfred letter, mis-
takes and all: y
Thomas, Idaho, n
80 e 10-18-1S.
Editor Republican, s 4ss
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Sir
Replying to the libelious article
with which my neighbor, Andrew
Anderson, through the colums of
your paper, has chosen to kick back
when some too apearent tender spot
was trodden ON, will say first, that
have always accredited neighbor
Anderson with to much intelligence
to openly lay himself amienable to
the laws of his country by the pub
lication of criminal libel. And
second that he trods on sacred
ground when he asails the character
and patriotic standing of a neighbor,
too sacred in fact for the matter to
be passed lightly, and thirdN that /
challenge Mr.. Anderson for the pro-
duction of any check made payable
to liberty bond salesman and which
could not be transferred by him for
the reasons named by Anderson.
Mr.. Farley Fackrell, the saleman,
has uttered an indignant denial,
which you may verify by calling his
number, that he gave Anderson any
grounds whatever for the course
taken by him in venting the spleen |
upon which the public may Judge |
for itself as to his sympathy with |
LaSeur, Horace Mann, and others
Of their kind. Mr.. Anderson If you
cannot produce that check some re-
fractions will be in order. It's your
next move.
Respectfully yours,
PAUL H. ALFRED.

BANKERS REALIZE DANGER.

! Charles A. Henech, president OF
the American Bankers association,
in addressing the annual convention
at Chicago recently. pledged the for
tunes and lives of its 19,043 members
to continue the war until a victor
ious peace is assured. He declared
bankers will keep~on fighting mot
to the last dollar, but to their last
unit of credit"
He said that mo peace that Ger
many will approve will satisfy Am
erica. We must not. conclude a
negotiated peace. Nothing should be
considered but an unconditional sur
render
\ Mr.. Hinsch declared the govern
ment, instead of restraining business,
lis encouraging it, and he expressed
Ia hope for a continuation of this
policy after peace. "Out of the chaos
Into which the nation was plunged
AS coming the semblance of order"
she added.
He advocated universe. military
training as essential to commercial
expansion and industrial growth.
The "so-called non-partisan league"
he said, lis the extreme manifesto
tiOn ofnunrest. The avowed purpose
OF this organization, now strong in
16 states, is political control by
class for a class and cooperative
selling and buying.
They are too shrewd to launch
a new political party; their scheme
is to secure control of the dominant
political party OF the city, county
and state where they are operating.
They are now practically in control
Of North Dakota. This movement
should be curbed before it assumes
the proportions of a prairie fire."

LOCAL COURT APPEALS.

There are four Manitowoc County
cases on the August term calendar OF
the Supreme Court arguments in
which begin October s. This circuit is
first for call.
The case of Dolores JUL against the
city school board, really the city, is
set for argument. The girl was Sc
verely scalded by a pail Of hot water
and caustics left in a school corridor
The city demurred on the ground that
municipality is not liable in such
circumstances and the circuit court
sustained the demurrer The plaintiff
invokes a provision of the Industrial
Commission act requiring that public
places be maintained safe.
Another case arises from the acci-
dent at Two Rivers two years ago this
month where only a 16 year old girl
was the survivor of party of five in
an automobile which was struck by
the Sunday afternoon train pulling out
of Two Rivers. After a big verdict in
favor of the administrator of a guest
in the car against both the estate of
the driver and the railway company
the court dismissed as to the railway
company on the ground that the driver
was guilty of negligence in driving
onto the track and granted new trial
to the defendant estate. Both orders
are appealed from This case is: Ad-
ministrator of Bauman against c. &
N. w. Ry. Co. and Administrator of
Kucera.
A third local case is an appeal in
the case Of Nyhagen vs. Markham, in
volvng a deed given by the late Mrs.
Thomas Windiate to Mrs II. l.. Mark
ham to a farm. The circuit court was
asked to set aside the deed but found
for the Markhams and an appeal was
filed
Another Manitowoc county case is
that of the Two Rivers Dredge & Dock
company VS.. the Maryland Casualty
company, the action involving insur-
ance compensation for an employe of
the Two Rivers company injured in
Ohio. The case is rather important
one, affecting Interpretation of the
compensation act.

EMPLOYER PENAtIzED.

Richard Kopp, a Is year old boy,
lost part of three fingers of his right
hand some time ago at the Invincible
Metal company plant. Last week the
State Industrial Commission filed an
award fixing the legal compensation
for the insurance company to pay and
ordered the company to nay twice as
much, a triple award, on the ground
that the work at which the boy was
engaged when the accident occurred
operating a punching shears, was for
hidden for boys under 16 years of age
The law puts the burden on the en-
ployer of knowing that the employee
is over the legal age limit. In this case
the insurance carrier will pay but
$319 and the employer $72l despite
the insurance protection,

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Anton Walterbacb, man over 90
years of age, attempted to committee
suicide yesterday afternoon by shooting
himself in the forehead over the left
eve with revolver in barn near the
Golf grounds, few miles north of the
city District Attorney Brady and
Sheriff Kellner were notified and went
out there. They found him lying pros
trate in pool OF blood but apparently
not seriously injured. They brought
him to the hospital where he is under
the care Of DR.. Luhman. His condi-
ton this morning is quite favorable
and he will probably recover as the
bullet did not penetrate the skull. Mr..
Walterbach formerly lived in Meeme
but had been employed on a farm all
summer near the place where he com
mitted the rash act. 1t is believed
that he was mentally unbalanced at
the time OF the tragedy.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By J. w. Voborll)

Are children in your school being
trained in the speed of their reading,
or are they allowed to move along at
their own rate? If children are to be
come efficient readers. they should be
trained to read rapidly early in their
school career. The children who do
not acquire habits of rapid reading are
apt to find later that the lessons in
history and geography are too long.
Developing a habit of rapid reading is
an important point which many teach
crs neglect. Average second grade
children should be able to read thir-
teen lines per minute orally and six
teen lines silently. Children in grades
three to eight should be able to read
from fourteen to sixteen lines orally
and from 20 to "A lines silently, de-
pending somewhat upon the size of the
type and the difficulty of the selection,
How rapidly are your children now
reading?
