NON PARTISAN LEAGUE AND RED
CROSS DRIVE.

The Non Partisan league is a poll
teal organization pure and simple It's
leaders have been arrested on charges
OF disloyalty. some of whom have been
convicted and others who are await
ing trial. Agents of the organization
have induced many farmers of Idaho
and other northwestern states to be-
come members. and since the leaders
OF the organization have been placed
under a cloud of disloyalty, these en-
issaries have become very active in
an effort to counterfeit the effect of
these vary grave and seemingly well
founded charges. The loyalty Of the
rank and file of its members among
the farmers of Idaho has never been
questioned, but there is widespread
feeling that the leaders and those who !
actually represent the organization |
have used their influence against the |
government in it's preparation for war
and are continuing to do so. In view
OF this well known feeling toward the
Non Partisan league, the action of j.

RESPECT AND DIsREsPEcT IN
DISPLAYING THE FLAG.

The Miner has heretofore called at
tention to the weather worn and fray
ed out flags that flap from STATS and
windows, many of them since war was
declared against Germany. The colors
have faded and in some cases have
disappeared altogether, constant
libel upon the beautiful banner as 'it
catches the CLEAN of the mornings
first beam. in full glory reflected, now
shines on the stream" We do not
question the patriotism of those who
through neglect permit the flag to be
exposed day and night to wind and
weather, and the purpose Of these
comments is to call attention to this
neglect and to some of the rules gov
erning the display of the flag. 1t is
not expected that all the technical
details regarding the use of the flag
which prevail in the army and navy
will be observed by civilians, but ii
is expected that every citizen who dis
plays the national ensign will do so
with full appreciation of it's signi-
ficance and the respect that is due it.
theoretically the flag should be raised
at sunrise and lowered at sunset,
which in practical operation means
to raise the flag at convenient hour |
in the morning and lower it in the
evening before dark. The flag should |
not remain out over night, nor should
1t be allowed to remain out in stormy
weather, To raise the flag and forget
1t until the colors are faded and the
wind has whipped it into shreds is not
an evidence Of respect for the starry
banner, quite the reverse,

BE READY TO GIVE LITERALLY
TO THE RED CROSS.

The Red Cross drive begins Monday
and will continue for one week. Plans
are being made to make a thorough
and quick campaign throughout the
county The men who will call on
you for subscriptions are giving their
time to this patriotic work without
thought of compensation, and solely
In the interest of the great cause
which is nearest the heart of every
true American Do not delay their
work. Be prepared to give promptly
and literally. The lives of our own
boys at the front and the lives of the
starving millions among our allies are
dependent upon the work of tie Ret'
Cross. The organization must have
millions of dollars 10 accomplish the
task that lies before it, and those mil
lions must come from the American
sacrifices we must make to win the
war. The time has now arrived when
we must make the sacrifices If we are
true to ourselves and our country. To
most of us contribution to the Red
Cross win not involve sacrifice, but
If 1t does, make 1t gladly and prepare
to make more. You cannot make
sacrifice I'm behalf of a nobler cause.

Col. McCrae died at Bolougne, France.

Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly.
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn. saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved; and now We lie

The torch. Be yours to lift it hight
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep tho peoples blow

FlTTMAN LAW is NOT DOUBLE
STANDARD MEASURE.

The enactment of the Pittman law
under which the government will pur-
chase silver at fixed value of 81 per
ounce has been construed in some
quarters as a move in the direction of
the establishment of a double mone-
tary standard by the leading nations
of the world, and in others as direct
step designed primarily to encourage
the production of silver by insuring a
liberal profit to silver miners. An
extract from the Congressional Re-
cord in another column throws mncb
light on the subject and while the
discussion of the bin did not disclose
the real condition that actuated con-
gress in unanimously passing the bill
II does plainly show that neither of
the above considerations had anything
to do with It, AS a matter of fact, 1t
Is made clear that If there had been
even well founded suspicion that the
bill was designed to restore the free
and unlimited coinage of silver the
bill would never have passed, 1t was |
made plain in the discussion, without
going into details. that the Pittman
Dill was war measure and that its
passage without delay was for the
purpose of meeting an emergency
which directly concerned England in
maintaining her prestige in India,
where silver Is practically the only {
Medium Of circulation, by enabling this
to make heavy shipments OF !.

In connection with the company. The

levied. the first of which is payable on

stockholders the directors say.
we realize these assessments will
be a hardship on some of the stock
holders, but can see no other way of
raising the money. Some may be
tempted to drop their stock, but those

are satisfied it is only question of

IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
An Answer.

(This reply to the above poem was
written by c. B. Galbreath, Columbus,
Ohio, who is Ohio state librarian(.
In Flanders fields the cannons boom
And fitful flashes light the gloom.
While up above. like eagles fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky;
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom,
In Flanders fields.
Sleep on We brave. The shrieking shell,
The quaking trench, the startled yell,
The fury Of the battle hell
Shall wake you not, for all is well.
Sleep peacefully, for all is well.
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart an oath we swear
To keep the faith, to fight 1t through,
TO crush the foe or sleep with you
In Flanders fields
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-05-16

displayed very poor judgment. TO say
the least, In making a special request
OF the Red Cross organizations in the
several counties to accept the services
of the organizers of the Nom Partisan
league in the collection of funds. The
fact that it Is political organization
and that the organizers are engaged
exclusively in a political propaganda
was sufficient reason to decline to give
| it this recognition. Suppose the chair
man of the republican state commit
| tee, or of the democratic committee,
or of the socialist state committee, had
made the same proposition to Chair
man Dewey, stating that the party had
committeeman in every precinct in
every county and that with the ap-
prevail of the Red Cross drive chair
man he would instruct them to get
busy collecting Red Cross funds.
Would Mr. Dewey or Mr.. Gipson have
special letters to the Red Cross COM
mittee in each county asking them to
cooperate to the fullest extent with
the political party? That Is what
they did for the Non Partisan league,
which makes no pretense to being
anything but political party.
But aside from politics, the Nom
Partisan league Is In very bad odor
among patriotic Americans, who most
vigorously protest against the Red
Cross being used to counteract the
curse of disloyalty that rests upon the
organization. The Red Cross appeals
to every patriotic citizen for support,
and no right thinking citizen waits
until he or the organization to which
he may belong has been formally re-
cognized by the Red Cross manage
ment before rendering service. TO do
so at once creates a suspicion that
there are other motives to be served
not consistent with the Red Cross, or
that the Red Cross Is to be used to
accomplish unworthy ends. Mr..
Dewey and Mr.. Gipson, to take the
most charitable view, have made
most grievous mistake in giving Of
fetal recognition to the bipartisan
league, and 1t Is possible that the only
remedy for the damage will be found
in their designations.
In his letter urging the county Red
Cross chapters to accept the services
of the Nom Partisan league organizers.
Mr. Gipson said:
II would urge you to accept the
tender of assistance which has
been made this committee by the
heads of the Non Partisan league
in this state. The league has
scores of organizers working in
the country districts, most of them
with motor cars, and Mr.. Scholtz,
the organizing chairman. for Idaho,
has advised us that every organi-
ger will be directed from his office
to report to the campaign mana
ger of the chapter in whose juris-
diction he is operating, and to as
sist in the rural canvas in every
way. | am much impressed with
the possibilities of this coopera-
ton, and hope that your chapter
war fund drive chairman will take
advantage of It,"
The suggestion was Indignantly
urned down by the Red Cross in
<ootenai. Nez Perez and probably In {
'ther counties not yet heard from.
