CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
CONGRESS CLEARLY DEFINES
STATUS OF ENLISTED MEN.
Protected During War Against Shy
locks. and Fighters Property Can
not BE Sold for Taxes.

Congress has passed the soldiers
and sailors civil rights bill. This leg
islation. together with the soldiers
and sailors insurance act. which pro-
vides for insurance up to $4,000 at
normal costs, marks a new departure
in military legislation among the ma
tions. In the civil rights bill. soldiers
and sailors dependents are protected
against eviction because of non-pay-
ment of rent; loss of life insurance
thru non-payment Of assessments or
dues, or loss of homestead thru alb
sence or non-pavment of fees.
These projections are given on the
condition that mans normal ability
to meet his obligations has been ina
terially affected" by his military serv-
ice.
The most important features of this
Legislation follow:
law suit cannot be decided against
n man who is unable to appear by rea-
son of military service; courts must
appoint attorneys for such defendants.
A law suit begun by person, who
later enters military service, may be
postponed until the man in service is
able to give his personal attention.
soldiers wife or family cannot be
evicted from any premises, the rent
VI WHICH uOeS nOt eNCeeu SOU month.
The court may inquire into all such
cases and make "such order as may be
just" An attempt to evict shall be
punishable by n $1,000 fine.
On homes being paid for on the in
stallment plan, contracts shall not be
foreclosed for non-payment, unless the
court so decides after an investigation.
The court may then order nll paw
mems TO date refunded or it may stay
proceedings.
Insurance is defined to include bene-
fits from fraternal or benefit societies,
as well as commercial life insurance.
Non..payments due to military service
shall not invalidate the policy up to
one year after the close of the war.
Non-payment of taxes cannot result
in the sale of fighters property. This
includes assessments and levies of
every sort by national, state or local
governments.

Secretary Daniels of the navy, who
recently visited the shipyards in Bos-
ton and saw for himself the condi-
tions under which our men worked,
said:
when some few thousands of ship
workers go on strike one almost i'm
mediately hears the cry of traitor.
These workers are never traitors.
II have seen them working out in
the open with the thermometer Mt %

REMAKE WOULD-BE
KAISERS IN u. S. INTO
AMERICANS, HE URGES.
By JOHN II. WALKER,
President Illinois Federation of Labor

We have quite good many would
be kaisers in the United States. We
are suffering from many wrongs and
many injustices, but we have the in
herent right, if we will only exercise
it, to trim every kaiser that is in
our country down to the size of good
American whenever we come to the
place where we have the sense and
are willing to do it.
We have the right and freedom and
liberty to do it. Over there you are
told to go back to work, and it is
death to you if you don't obey the
wishes of the powers that be, no mat
ter what those wishes are.
Sometimes those wishes are that
you go to certain death, and it is GER
tain death for you no matter what
you do.
And there is not single wrong
that obtained or injustice that ex-
listed in our nation but that when we
informed the majority of the people
of it and gotten desire to change it,
that they have not done it.
On top of that, and / will say
this without qualification or equivo-
cation: there has been no country on
top of the earth, from the beginning
of time up until now, where the com
mon people have had as good stand
ard of living, as much liberty and
freedom, where the standards of edu-
cation and opportunity are as good or
as high as they are in the United
States.
While the common people of Ger
many have more to gain thru the
winning of this war by our govern
ment and its allies than the common
people of any other country on earth,
because Of these things l have said,
there is no common people on the
earth that have as much to lose if we
don't win this war as have you and
me and every other working man and
his family in our own country.

A SCHOOL GIRLS LETTER

at was only a little river, almost
a brook; it was called the Yser One
could talk from one side to the other
without raising ones voice, and the
birds could fly over it with one sweep
of their wings. And on the two banks
there were millions of men, the one
turned toward the other, eye to eye.
But the distance which separated
them was greater than the stars in
the sky; it was the distance which
separates right from injustice.

N ST REGISTER
TO CAST VOTE

Those desiring to vote at the next
primary election held in this state
must first be registered If they are
not registered they cannot vote.
This fact is not generally known
nor is it appreciated, in the state of
Idaho.
Sections 39S401 Of the general
laws were repealed in 1913 and a
law enacted providing a permanent
system of registration. This law
w1a repealed by the last or 1917 leg
islature, and the provisions of the
above sections practically reinstated.
The sections which are reinstated
| Dy the act of the last legislature pro-
vide for the manner in which regis
trars are appointed by the board Of
county commissioners registration
notices, books and supplies, oath Of
the register, electors oath. preserya-
tion of registess papers, transfer
certificates, etc
Registrars under the law are au-
thorized to take registrations up to
and inrluding the Saturday next
preceding the primary election. If
electors are not registered prior to
that time they will find it difficult
to vote at the primary election in
September
Unless the provisions of the old
registration laws become generally
known over the state and electors
realize that they must first register
before they vote, irrespective of the
fact that they voted at the last gen
eral election, election officials claim
there will be thousands of other
wise qualified voters Of the state
who will find themselves unable to
east their ballots at the primary
election

the forces of America overseas and
that at the present time he had
only one man left who had worked
for him that long About ten men
who had worked for him from a few
weeks TO three years had quit their
Jobs for the same purpose MIR Lee

NO PEACE UNTIL
KAISER CRUSHED.

Frances war aims, summed up by
NJ Millerand, former minister of
war, in a review of the war on the
fourth anniversary Of its inception
are expressed in five words:
"PRUSSIAN M1LITARISM MUST
BE DESTROYED"
Crushing Prussian militarism, ac.
cording to X. Millerand will mean
First Restoration of Alsace-
Lorraine.
Second Reuniting of Italia
Irredenta.
Third Freedom of Rumania
and Transylvania from Hun
garian domination
Fourth Restoration of Bel
gium and Serbia.
Fifth Establishment of an
Independent CzechoSlovak state
and free Poland,
THE new world did not ehter up
on the scene, did not cross the At
lantic, does not accomplish the daily
miracles at which we are astonished
and grateful witness, to content it
self with a bastard or delusiVe peace
fraught with danger to all, he said.
"The United States and France
with her, will never rest until our
aims are attained. Prussian mil
itarism must be crushed.

FIRE DAMAGES
ADVENTIST CHURCH

An exciting little fire happened
at the Adventist meeting house Mon
day forenoon when a trellis of hop
vines on the south side of the build
ing caught fire, the fire quickly
jumped to the roof and threatened
the destruction of the building and
the adjacent one occupied by c. A.
Carlson with carpenter shop.
Members of the church had gathered
Monday to clean up the weeds around
the building, and after burning them
close to the church had douched
the ashes with water and begun
work ON the other end of the lot A
small amount Of fire must have been
left, which spread TO the vines and
grew rapidly. The damage pro-
badly amounted to about 5000

INIKKLESON NOT
Guilty Of CHARGE

The preliminary hearing of RaS
Mikkelson charged with seditiouS
utterances, was held before Judge
w. G. Howie at his offices Tuesday
The government was represented by
the assistant district attorney for
Idaho, while the defense was con-
Quoted by Dan Mclaughlin of this
city. The complaining witness was
f. T. Carrie, not Chas. Cary as the
name was published in the last issue
of the Republican. The testimony
for the government was given by four
workmen in the culvert gang OF
which Mikkelson was foreman, and
tended to show that they had in
dulged' in long arguments over
socialism, the l. w w, the possible
outcome of the war and the right of
free American citizen to loaf on
the job Mikkelson had apparently
taken the contrary side at least in
the latter argument and had made
odious comparisons between some of
his laborers and the |. w. w.
At the close of the prosecution S
case the Federal attorney made a
motion for dismissal and the case
was dismissed by Mr.. Howie. Mr.,
Mikkelson had called a number of
witnesses to prove his loyalty, by
way of subscriptions to the liberty
loan, and various war drives and his
remarks at the time the subscriptions
were made, but none of them were
called on to testify.
