THE ALLIED SUCCESS.

The allied soldiers, in their notable adj
vance against the Germans in France
are worthy of the great praise that has
been accorded them on every hand.
They have fought nobly. The casualty
lists will soon begin to come in, and
when they are received the feeling of
depression which certainly will exist
must be minimzed, as should any de-
preston which may follow a temporary
setback by the allied forces. We cannot
expect the Germans, recently reported
in flight, to offer no resistance to the
oncoming Americans, French and

PARKER FOR TREASURER

Lieut.. Gov. +. l.. Parker of Cotton
wood is to be a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for the office OF
treasurer of the state of Idaho. 1t is
unlikely that the candidacy of Mr.. Par
ker for the nomination will be contest
ed at the polls.
The Free Press takes particular salts
faction in lending its bit of support to
Governor Parker not only because he
is resident of Idaho county, but be
cause he is man well qualified for the
position for which he is a candidate.
Governor Parker first of all is a genu-
inc American. Secondly, he is man
of broad Judgment, integrity and con-
Governor Parker is a successful bust
ness man. He did not seek the office,
until he had been prevailed upon to be-
come a candidate. This cannot be
truthfully said of all candidates filed
only at the "urgent request of their
friends. Usually it is matter of
desiring an official, berth that prompts
men to announce their candidates.. Not

ne is the logical man for state treasur-
sr, and therefore he has accepted the
'andidate s role.

Britishers. Germany still is a strong
military nation, and her armies will
fight until the last dog is hanged. -
So, when the casualty lists appear, one
should remember that they are much
heavier in Germany, and if a temporary
setback should come, also remember that
such does not mean =, loss of the war.
Also il is well to bear in mind that the
allied advance in the recent offensive
does not constitute an overwhelming
victory over German autoeracy. While
it may be the beginning of turn of
the tide, complete victory still lies be-
yond the horizon.

The government at midnight, We'd
nesday, assumed control of all telegraph
and telephone lines in the United States.
1t is to be hoped that one of the early
acts by the government, in the operation
of telegraph and telephone lines, will
be to eliminate duplication of effort.
Two telephone systems operating in one
town. or in one section of the country,
are an annoyance to the public. One
might as well be required to call at
two postoffices fer his mail, as to run
from one phone to another to answer
calls.

TURKEY AND GERMANY

turkey is reported to have broken
relations with her ally, Germany. Ac-
cordlng TO press reports, the Turks feel
that they are not being treated fairly
by the Gemans, who are attempting to
exploit the Ottomans, for Prussian gain.
Germany's relations with Turkey.
since the beginning of the war, now in
its fifth year, have been designed pure
ly upon acquiring a great Mittel Europa
under German domination. stretching
from the Baltic sea to the Indian ocean.
The trouble between the two nations
seems to have had its inception over
division of spoils of war in the Balkans
and the difficulties have grown to such
an extent as to cause a break between
the countries.
II Germany is unable to hold Turkey
within her grasp, she will have lost
valuable assistance in the near east.
However, the difficulty may be purely
diplomatic, for the Turkish army is
known to be differed by Germans, and
it is possible that Germany will be able
to whip the Moslems into shape again. |
On the other hand, the reports of the
trouble surely indicate lack of harmony
among the central powers, and illus
trate the selfish motives of Germany
in embroiling the world in war; and in
involving the Turks in the struggle on
The side of Germany.

PUT AMERICANS ON GUARD

nPut none but Americans on guar
tonight" The statement is credited
70 General Washington, in command OF
the Continental army during the
American Revolution. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly appropriate motto to follow
today.
The future of the American people
their rights and their liberties-today
hangs in the balance, even as it did
in the days of the Revolutionary war.
II appears from the statement of
General Washington, that he had in his
army men whose loyalty to their
country was not above suspicion. Sen
tries. he felt, might be selected, who
would betray his army into the hands
of the Red Coats. General Washington
evidently had men in his army, who
were suspected of being Tories. They
were men who would turn traitor,
when the opportunity arose. There
fore. General Washington, at most
critical period in American affairs,
cautioned his Officers to "put none
but Americans on guard tonight,
lest the entire army fall into a clever
" devised trap, laid by the British, as
sisted by traitors in the American
ranks.
While it is possible that men are in
the American army today who are not |
genuine Americans, such condition is
unlikely. And besides, the admon-
itiOn of General Washington is OBJ
served to this day. None but Ameri-
cans are put on guard ON the battle
front. -'''
But on the other hand, we have in
the American republic today, con
ditiOn analogous to that of Washing
toms time. Within a comparatively
brief period, primary and general
elections are to be held. In some
states the primaries have already been
held In Idaho, both the primary
and general election are yet to take
component parts of the American !
Union, and since Idaho is the state I

STATE TRAVELLING LIBRARY.

The Free Press is in receipt of de.
tailed information from the state
Librarian pertaining to the state ira
Yelling library, and means by which
books may be procured therefrom by
residents of Idaho.
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that
Grangeville does not possess a public
library. And besides Grangevills be-
ing without library, every other sec
ton of Idaho county is likewise affect
ed. The people have virtually no read
ing matter, except current literature
and such Libraries as are privately
owned. These latter, not extensive
in their scope, and also not available
for us of the public, of course can
not fill the purpose of a public
library.
To compensate for the lack of a
public ibrary-books on such vari-
ETY. of subjects that there does not
exist an individual taste that cannot
be gratlfled from the public stack
rooms-there has been provided in
Idaho the state travelling library, and
it would be well for the book lover to
become better acquainted with this
library. One need not be book
worm to be interested in the library.
Indeed, it is not meant for the book
worm but, on the other hand, its pur-
pose is to provide a variety of good
reading matter, on practically every
subject, for the resident of the town
hat does not possess a public library,
or the farmer and his family, for the

ares to read, not merely for enter
but for study.
