The editor of the Gazette is away
from home. The running of the
paper was left in the hands Of the
present office force without instruc-
tions. He will be roaming over the
country for two whole weeks. In
the meanwhile we are the people.
This issue Of the Gazette will be
somewhat largely devoted to family
affairs but our readers will kindly
overlook this unusual depression
for 1.-The Twins" always occu-
pied rather prominent place in the
Knepper family and it now seems a
proper time to make the fact known.
The Odd Fellows held a very sue
cessful meeting of the Twenty Sixth
District on Friday and Saturday
of last week. It was largely at
tended bv the members and delegates
from the various lodges in the dis
trict. The degree team of the Lew
iston lodge exemplified the work OF
the first degree in highly cred
liable manner. The work of the ses-
sions was in every way satisfactory.
These odd fellows are not essential
! ly different from the rest of as who
are not considered odd for they had
the usual banquets and seemed to
enjoy them.
These hot dusty days doublv en-
phasize the need of paving main
street. Health as we'll as comfort is
involved. When this work, so well
begun. is completed, Kendrick will
be an up-to-date little city.

THE FARMER

We believe in the farmer. There
is where we got our start in busi-
ness. Statements to the contrary
Notwithstanding, no class of Amer
ican citizens get so quick a hearing
or so prompt response, when in
actual need from the government,
as the farming class.
Ask any honest or fair minded
tiller of the soil today if he has
any real cause for grievance for his
class the country over and he will
tell you that he has none.
He has the best market he ever
had under the highest scale OF
prices and under the best financial
and banking system the nation ever
possessed and he is living under the
most favorable laws.
The department of Agriculture
the postal service, the rural credit
system and a score of state an(
national helps have been created
and extended for the farmer
special benefit. Yes, the farmer
has come, and is continuing tt
come, into his own.

BUSINESS OR FIREWORKS.

Business or Fireworks is the issue
in Idaho in the coming elections.
The people can elect men who rep
resent sound state and national
programs, or they can elect men
who put up sensational programs
purely for political effect.
Idaho needs industrial develop
ment more than anything else. She
requires millions spent on power
plants and mining more than on the
ories of government. Public and
private capital does not settle down
in states where there is too much
red flag waving. Let us give the
state a rest from those who set off
too many political fireworks at the
expense of business.
The Kendrick gazette., 1918-06-14

we are in world wide war because
we can't help it. We are not only
in the war but we are in it to win
because it is the only way to save
what it has taken US SO long to
build up. Our freedom, our liber-
ty, our country is the prize for
which we are fighting. No one be-
lieves in war but most of us will,
and do accept war rather than to
see our country perish.
There are times when both the
individual and the state are justified
in protecting themselves by force
and force to the limit and that
time, if ever, so far as the country
is concerned is now.
The Russian proletariat evidently
did not believe in war. So strong
were his convictions on this subject
that he threw down his arms and
the result is that Russia today is
practically German province.
The man who is unwilling to
have his country declare war to
protect its integrity is like unto a
man who would allow a villain to
enter his home and maltreat his
family without raising a protest,
because he did notbelieve in fighting.
The present administration has
doubtless made mistakes. many Of
them, in the herculean task of pre-
pairing fo, the awful war in which
we are engaged. There was no
precedent for such mammoth
undertaking, but wonderful pro-
gress has been made and conditions
are improving every day SO that
this is no time for carping criticism
by little fellows who know so well
how things should have been done,
how mistakes could have been
avoided, case of hindsight rather
than foresight.
The Kendrick gazette., 1918-06-14
WORK OR FIGHT

Work or fight" is the latest war
slogan. Our governor has issued a
proclamation closing all pool halls
in the state. This is greatly to the
governors credit. He thoroughly
believes in the proposition-work
or fight.
The city Council of Pendleton,
Oregon recently passed resolution
that every able bodied man must
work at least thirty-six hours every
week. That is hard on the city
"bums" but they are not left with
out choice, they can either work or
fight.
Our boys have been called to the
colors and are today, holding first
line trenches in France, are fighting
with vim and a dash that has
greatly surprised the enemy. All
America is thrilled with pride at
the gallant feats performed by the
daring and fearless young men. If
the men who stay at home work
with the self-same zeal with which
our boys over there are fighting,
this war will be won before the
snow flies again, Let US all then
either work or fight.

OPPOSED TO WAR

There are too many people
abroad in the land who pride them
selves in being opposed to war.
The above proposition of course is
we'll nigh universal in all enlighten-
ed countries but this is no time to
promulgate, or at least give ex-
preston, to such a sentiment. This
thing has been thrust upon US and

the limits of such visits to be determined
by the custodian, and may spend one OF

mined by the custodian with him or hi,

+ The father states that the court has M
authority to require him to file an accept
ance of the terms, as it would be an ac
acknowledgement that many of his witnesse
Were false and gave perjured testimony
that the courts ruling is humliating ant
repugnant to his self respect and that i

dren.
He cannot admit over his signature tn
morality of his former wife and conclude

We're all reputable people of good addres
and appearance and his acceptance of tn
decree would admit that he was guilty o
subornation of perjury.
