Judging from the way Mr.. Townley

BLAINE COUNTY DID,
LATAH COUNTY CAN
LATAH WILL NOT BE A STACKER
IN HER WAR SAVINGS STAMP
PURCHASES

Blaine county has made good on he
war savings obligation.
Blaine is the first county in Idaho
to report the purchase of her full
quota of $40 per capita of war saw
ings certificates.
Blaine is 100 per cent on her 1918
war record.
What Blaine county is every county
is Idaho can be.
The word must be: "Do not yield
the honor of Idaho at this late hour!
Make good"
Until Idaho has bought her full
quota of war savings certificates the
states record is incomplete.
Shall we end the year dishonored?
! Impossible.
At Chateau Thierry, in Argonne
Forest, on a thousand flaming battle
fields Idaho's sons have done their
full duty
Shall we at home do less?
Those boys did not hesitate. They
never paused to argue. They did not
yield. In the fact of all they pressed
on and on and still on until the OBJ
jective had been achieved.
They died. Hundreds of them died.
Lively lldliilSC, SVCIy city, every
county, every mountain valley in
Idaho mourns today for lads who died
for the honor of Idaho
viii Idaho dishonor their sacrifice
by failure to keep HER just obliga-
lions with the government that sent
those lads to the battle lines of Eu-
rope?
We dare not think of such thingl
We dare not think of one war OBJ
legation unmet and in the same mo-
ment think of those heroes who sleep
tonight in Flanders fields. We dare |
not think of the price THEY paid |
and in that moment, think of 1918 |
ending with Idaho's quota of war saw
ings unbought!
Blaine county made good-OUR
county can make good.
There is no time for argument
1t is time for action. 1t is time
to DO and not talk.
Three weeks more and the oppor-
tunity will be forever gone.
Blacken Idaho's record with failure
on war savings obligations and the
rains of eternity itself cannot wash
out the stain-cannot make that rec
ord clean again.
Who is responsible?
YOU are responsibility respon-
sible. No one else.
1t is up to YOU and up to ME.
Every county knows it's quota. Am
erica says: "Buy that amount! No
less! There is no demand
or oversubscription Duty performed
S what the nation expects of Idaho
md that is ALL But that America
oes expect and insist upon"
Don't let THIS county be the coun- I
y that will cause the state to be
randed with the shameful word :
"Slacker." :,

no. Mr.. Taft at Chicago was not Q
poacher. He had a right to his place,
and was the very man for the job. Prol
ably his decision was accepted by all
but the man who took the count.
And then he was fresh from visits to
military camps, where he had seen young
men by the ten thousands undergoing
physical development and Strengthening.
He had been. impressed with the value
of many forms of such training. Box
ing has value Of that kind. It requires
that the man be sound and fit-the mas
ter of himself and all that in him is.
It helps III the making Of soldier or a
sailor. and also in the rounding out Of
q citizen for possible knockabouts in
everyday life. It enables man in a
corner ito take care of himself"
These visits, as he confesses, have con-
vcrted Mr.. Taft to the proposition for
universal military training. Men would
be the better for it, morally and
physically They would benefit if no
war ever occurred to test them in camp
or battle: and if war came, the country
would enjoy incalculable benefit from
having so many citizens ready and quail
ifed upon the instant to defend it.

Uniform Cloth Thefts.

Indictment in New York of eleven
men for wholesale thefts Of uniform
cloth from the government indicates a
shocking disposition toward Illicit gains
while the country is fighting. These

solutely Indifferent to the national need.
They sought only the loot they could
grab from the evidently loosely handled
supplies. It is surprising that the thefts
could have been conducted on such a
large scale without earlier detection.
Doubtless there was confusion and lack
Of absolute checking Of materials dur
ing the early days Of uniform making.
The government has probably itself a..
certained who was responsible for the
tremendous wastage Of materials, which
could not intelligently have been &C.
counted for as incidental to manufac-
ture, 50 vac. was the amount Of cloth
that slipped out of sight-onIy to re-
appear, it would seem, quickly in shop
windows-and failed to be turned in as
uniforms. Punishments in ease Of con
vietion should, if possible, be accom-
panied by measures to recover the val.
ues that have been stolen. No penalty
permitted by the law is severe enough
to punish the crime Of stealing the very
clothes from the soldiers upon whom
America depends for its salvation from
the German menace.

Results and Need of Food Saving

Persons who are urged to save certain
food staples by abstention and substitu
tion as a measure of war service some
times fail to understand just how this
sacrifice on their part will aid. Figures
just given by the food administration
answer the question clearly. During the
past four months the meatless days OBJ
served in this country resulted in the
saving of 1in.0OO,o00 pounds of beef,
which was within 25,OOO,0oO pounds of
the amount exported to the allied coun-
tries Had it ,ot been for the cutting
out of beef from the American tables
on specified days it is plain that the peo-
pie Of the allied countries would not
have had enough to eat.
Administrator Hoover gives warning
that the strictest economy must be prac-
ticcd by the people of the United States
during the next sixty days, especially in
wheat, to permit a sufficient export to
Europe to keep the English. French, and
Italians in food. Judging from the re-
suits effected by meatless days it is clear
that wheatless days will yield surplus
for shipment. But these days must be
more generally observed. There must be
more American families practicing econ
omy and substitution.
Food will win the war. That is the
slogan Of America today. Our allies
cannot raise sufficient quantity of food
staples in peace times to meet their
needs. They fall far short in their sup
plies in war, for their farm workers are
in the ranks. Our chief responsibility
today is in this matter of keeping the
people of the three countries that are
bearing the main burden of the fighting
we'll sustained. We have saved 14o,-
100000 pounds Of beef in four months.
We ought to increase that saving by so
per cent in the coming four months, and
BY saving and substitution pile up the
exports Of wheat so that every person
in England, France and Italy will have
enough food. II they starve the war is
lost. We can win it by feeding them.

The Railroads and the Future.

The Senate has disposed Of the rail
road problem, and the House debate on
the subject draws to close. Time con-
sumcd in the discussion has borne good
fruit. We are all better advised today
than before about why government con-
tro! WIS established, about the terms
made, and about the general bearing of
the matter on war times and on post
war times. We see the present more
plainly, and arc the better able to cal
culate as to the future.
The importance of the question has
appeared in the number and character
Of the amendments offered, particularly
in the Senate. But few were adopted.
Nevertheless, al have served good pur-
pose. Even those rejected have shown
phases Of the question which may come
up again.
We have but entered upon this ques-
tion. It is of the profoundest moment,
and possesses wide ramifcations. The
war has forced it forward, and while the
war lasts it will bear the shape the war
has imposed. It is accepted as factor
In conducting the war.
But the war will have an end, and
when that end comes measures that have
been adopted for war purposes must be
cancelled or modified according to the re-
quirements of peace conditions. Reve-
nues will have to be readjusted- Appro-
priations will have to be pared. This
great question of swift transportation
will appear then in light different from
the present light, and must engage at
tention and receive treatment accord
ing to what that light shows and sug-
4ests.
Speculation on all these matters now
Is at speculator's risk. Speculation is
very tempting, and many are indulgins.
Tho railrosds, We are told on the one
hand, viii never again be privately con-

The Wisconsin Senatorship.

Gov. Philip of Wisconsin has bowed
to the will of the legislature and or
dercd special election to fill the va
caney in the Senate caused by the death
of Senator Husting. He resisted the
movement to the point of naming the
man he had chosen for the place, but
although his selection was widely popu-
lar and regarded as fully of senatorial
caliber, the demand for a submission of
the matter to the people was too strong.
The issue in this case is that of defini-
tion of the public sentiment on the sub
ject of the war. Wisconsin is suspected
of entertaining strong pro-German
views. There is large German popu-
lation there. It has evidenced its lean
ings Enthusiastically since the war started
in 1914, and has not been wholly patri
otie since the United States entered the
fight. Those who insist upon an elec
tion hold that it is time that the people
were asked to align themselves. On the
I'd Of April, therefore, according to the
governors reluctant call, the voters of
the state will ballot for candidates,
whose Americanism will be meanwhile
put to microscopic test. Gov. Philip
has been playing politics in this matter,
seeking to avoid the issue of loyalty in
the state, and, according to his critics,
hoping to prevent an election until he
might, through relief from the duties of
the governorship. himself stand as can
a:date for the Senate. His attitude has
injured him seriously.
