A shipment of nineteen paiama
suits and eight helpless case shirts
was recently received from the
Aberdeen Red Cross workers, which
showed excellent workmanship and
were also neatly pressed.
Last Saturday seemed day 'of
memorable satisfaction and pleasure

ers, with the fine showing of liberty
bond sales, and abundant collection
of worn clothing for the destitute.
1t was indeed gratifying to see the
tables piled with comforts supplied
by our people from all over the
county thru sympathy and desire
for the war stricken suffers.
How fortunate and happy we
should feel that from our plenteous-
ness such liberal division could be
made and leave us well provided
for. These deprived ones are our
charges until their homes are re-
stored to certain degree Of order.
There are no other people for them
to look to for aid SO If we should fail
them for one season they will perish.
We fully realize that and resolve to
each do our part that bodily COM
forts may be furnished them.
A rather discouraging report
seems to have spread and taken on
proportions until embarrassment re-
suited to those in charge. 1t was
said that during the first drive for
clothing, many good articles had
been too literally distributed among
the Mexicans, who at that time were
living in tents north of town. 1t is
true that in our inexperience we con-
tributed small amount of clothing
that proved unsuitable to send such
a long distance, because there was no
warmth assured and little wearing
quality. These garments were dis
posed of by gift to the Mexicans who
were in great need at that time. The
faithful workers at headquarters are
untiring in their efforts to accom-
plish right and just results by taking
everything into consideration before
acting. -
There are a number Of articles in
the present contribution that are to
soiled to go with the cleaner ones
because the odor, when closely
packed would contaminate all, and
also for the reason we want to do all
things decently, however, number

and shells, and bombs, and aero
planes, and tanks in huge quantities.
The orders are piling in on us and
other orders for ships to take this
material over. Piles of munitions
are to be prepared in France for the
great drive which will bring victory,
so big as to make the German piles
last spring look like 80 cents. II
we send to France all that is asked,
the casualties in the great drive will
be few compared with the execution
done.
Pershing's drive will go on. And
to make his drives successful he
must have supplies. II he is short
of shells the result will show in the
greater number of our men killed.
Our failure will show in the casualty
lists. Money held back here means
more of our men dead over there.
Get this in your minds. Men can't
fight without munitions. Munitions
are not made without paying the
workers who make them.
Your money is as good as any
body's-no better. Put 1t in.

KILL A COUPLE

The president has asked us to do this.
The president is commander in chief
of the American armies. 1t is as
much our duty to buy war savings
stamps when the president asks us to
buy them as it would be our duty to
shoulder a rifle, 60 into the trenches,
step into the front line of battle and
shoot a German soldier II he should
ask us to do that. Don't wait until
tomorrow. Buy war savings stamps
today.
The war savings stamp you don't
buy may cost an American soldier
his life.
Every war savings stamp you do
buy is just the same as If you killed
a fiendish, fighting Hun.
Kill a couple and kill them
damned quick.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-10-01

Would you kill fighting German
if you were on the firing line?
Would you carry ammunition to
our soldiers?
War savings stamps are as impor-
tant in winning the war for human
freedom as the ammunition with
which American soldiers are supplied
when they go over the top against
the German trench. War savings
stamps are the ammunition you and
/ may use against the Hun. 1t is
the money we save and loan our gov
ernment when we buy war savings
stamps that buys the ammunition
the lads in the trenches must have
to protect your liberty and mine. 1t
is up to us to buy every dollars
worth Of war savings stamps we can.

COODINC DID NOT
WRITE THE LETTER
Senatorial Fight Full of
Fun, Fanatics and
Foolishness. Nugent
Discredited.

Following last weeks exposures of
the seditiOus utterances of Horace
Mann of the Non-partisan league,
and the charge by the league. that
GOoding had been bidding for their
endorsement and had sent them a
letter to that effect, the Idaho Re-
publican sent inquiries to try to find
out the truth of the whole matter,
and is still pleased with the attitude
of the fighting farmer We helped
bring out to make the race for the
United States senate, Frank r. Good
ing. The facts as we CLEAN them
are as follows:
At the time Of the state conven-
tions of both of the old parties at
Boise in June, 1t was current report
that when the Non-partisans met the
third and fourth of July, they would
endorse the platform OF ~one party
or the other and naturally both
parties were hoping for its endorse
ment. Just before the Non-partisans
met, Townley men went to S. d. Tay-
lor, chairman of the Republican
state central committee and asked
If D. W. Davis of American Falls,
would accept the endorsement of the
league for governor, and If Frank
r. Gooding would accept their en-
dorsement for the U. s. senate. Tay-
lor talked with Davis and he was re-
luctant about it, but finally gave Tay-
lor letter saying he would accept
such endorsement If it were rendered.
Taylor was unable to get in touch
with Gooding at the time, and know
ing his interest in the farmers and
knowing of Gooding's expressions
that the farmers are entitled to Or
ganize like other business interests
to protect themselves he decided that
Gooding would say in regard to the
Non-partisan endorsement, that he
would accept 1t, and so Taylor, with
out Gooding's knowledge, wrote a
letter to the league for him, saying
that he would accept such endorse
ment for the senate in the spirit in
which 1t was given and signed Good
ing's name and handed 1t to the Nom
partisians along with the Davis let
ter.
Davis went on about his business,
slept over the matter, and wrote to
Taylor saying he was not satisfied in
his own mind, and wanted to recall
the letter concerning his willingness
to accept the endorsement of the
Non-partsans. The convention met
and made no mention Of Gooding or
Davis, and endorsed Nugent for the
senate and nominated H. F. Sam
uels as their candidate for governor,
so the two letters from Gooding and

Davis were of no consequence since
no action was taken. One letter was
given and recalled, the other was
given without consent of Gooding'
and unknown to him. Therefore
when McKaig of the Non-partisans
gave out the statement that Gooding
had been bidding for Non-partisan
support and said he would make a
dirty campaign for Gooding to face,
he threw out a challenge to man
who never runs away from a fight.
When the letter was published, Good
ing denied any knowledge of it, and
was right.
When Horace Mann, the league
organizer was arrested and charged
with seditious utterances at Good
ing, the league sent lawyer to de-
fend him, just as the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners employed John F.
Nugent to defend Harry Orchard as
soon as they heard of his arrest for
Steuneneberg's assassination. And
when Mann was confronted with un-
deniable proof of his guilt, the
league disowned him, saying they
wanted nothing to do with anyone
like him, just as the Western Fedora
tion of Miners tried to disown Harry
Orchard when he made a confession
of guilt. In. answer to the leagues
statement that they would not count
enance any such actions in one of
their men or members, Frank Good
ing in his characteristic bold man
ner, directed the following to the
league:
Tell us, Mr.. McKaig, who is your
national secretary, who sent to Idaho
Horace Mann, whom you congratu-
late so highly for his splendid
work" in Gooding county?
After reputable citizens had made
affidavits, which were widely pub
lished, as to Mann's reasonable con-
duct. you sent lawyer to defend
him. And you sent him out, after
that, to continue his work in Good
ing county among the farmers, and
he would have been at it yet If loyal
men had not reported him and faced
him with such evidence that he
could do nothing but confess. Do
you think your action, Mr.. McKaig,
was that of loyal citizen?
Please tell us, also, Mr.. McKaig,
who furnished and paid for the Boil
sheviki literature that Mann dis
tributed? What do you know about
that? You ought to know something
about it, for Mann was working for
you.
To the people of Idaho: Whom
do you believe, strangers who are
associates of |. w. w. and Socialists
and other disloyal elements or men
who are staunch citizens of Idaho
and who have stood up to the rack
and fought anarchy and disloyalty
and are fighting it today?

ship, it meets their need of play, it
meets their need of freedom. This
being the case, they are happy. And
thoroughly happy child is recog-
nizable at sight Indeed, it seems
almost different order of being
from the child who is repressed
and nagged at home or bullied in
the street or waited upon by nurse
or governess.
To be healthy, happy, occupied,
free to play during those few pre-
cious, impressionable years-what
better thing can we do for our
children than to secure them this?
What better gift can we offer them
than entrance into an infant para
disc of this order?
Mother Can't Amuse.
A busy mother. who loved her
young children very much. but who
found in herself no capacity to
"amuse" them or overcome their
fretfulness, would doubtless be
deeply grateful if a playhouse took
this job off her hands. Moreover,
this arrangement would give her at
least three or four extra hours a
day for work or rest or recreation,

Where Should Babies Play?
Infant Clubhouse Is Answer

FAINT club house. Every child in the
neighborhood belongs to the club.
Everything in the club house be-
longs to the children. Every child
associates on perfectly free and
equal terms with every other child.
Very old-fashioned people who
believe that child should be nag
ged and supervised practically all
the time that it is awake doubtless
will disapprove of this idea, Some.
theorist cooked that up, they will
object with a good deal of scorn.
1T would never work out in prac-
tice, and even if it did, it would
give children far too much liberty.
But the interesting thing is that
it does work out. And though it
gives children liberty, it gives them
responsibility at the same time. If
play materials are destroyed, the
children themselves have no way Of
replacing them. So they learn to
be careful.
Likewise if a child doesn't play
fair" he pays the natural penalty
That is, the other children won't
play with him. And it's very much
less fun to play at home by one
self. So the spirit of fairness is
bred
Furthermore, in the playhouse
there is no audience for whines or
complaints. No child can "tell on"
another child, for there is nobody
who would listen-as thoughtless
parents sometimes do. If there are
any injustices, they right them
selves. Children are really fairer
judges of each other than grown
ups can be.
Freedom Versus Nagging.
But best of all is the fact, not
that such a playhouse is good for
the children of neighborhood, but
that the children themselves like it.
