CURRENT COMMENT.

RUYING Liberty bonds is no act Of
charity; it is good investment
for the man who has little spare
cash lying around. If the war ends
as we hope and believe it will, in a
victory for us and our allies, then the
bonds will be a good investment and
will sell at a premium. Occasionally
there is man whose buying of a
bond is a sacrifice, but the general
run of buyers is making an invest
ment pure and simple. In time of war
when mans business nets him Az
per cent he is considered pretty lucky.
That's what the bonds do. But while
very few men who invest in these
new Liberty bonds are making sacri-
fees, the government needs the money
and must get it if the war is to be
won.

after getting out of bed and before

the following articles of wearing ap-

much, and something ought to be done
about it.

THE Stacker or pro-German sympa-
thizer who runs for office in this
country during the next third of a
century will have hot time of it.
There were slackers during the Civil
war just like there are slackers now.
But succeeding generations did not
build monuments TO them. History
has not recorded their names in let
tiers of gold. If their names live at
all it is only to be reviled and spat
upon. But how about those who stood
staunch at home and those who march
ed away TO the front in their uniforms
of blue? The 30th of every May is
the answer.

TALES OF TOWN
THE MAN BEHIND.

There's a stirring sound of bugles in
the air,
Don't you hear the sudden tramp
of coming feet?
There's call to arms resounding ev-
erywhere,
Don't you feel the thrill along the
busy street?
See Old Glory floating proudly in the
sun,
Can't you hear its thrilling whisper as
you run?
"If you can't be the man behind the
gun,
My son,
behind the man
behind the gum"
They are springing to the call as when
of old
Our fathers gave up all they loved,
to fight,
And our boys rise up today as brave
and bold,
In their patriot zeal to battle for the
right.
See Old Glory floating proudly in the
sun,
Can't you hear its thrilling whisper as
you run?
"If you can't be the man behind the
My son,
BE the man
behind the man
behind the gun"
There are those who cannot go, whose
hearts are sad,
But the work for them at home is
just as great.
So let's give rousing cheer for those,
my lad,
Who hold the hands that guide the
the ship of state,
See Old Glory floating proudly in the
sun,
Can't you hear its thrilling whisper as
you run?
"lf you can't be the man behind the
gun,
My son,
Be the man
behind the man
behind the gum"

RUT there are people who consider
they are making sacrifice when
they buy these bonds. To them the
long casualty lists should be a stern
reminder that even though they had
to borrow the money at 10 per cent
to buy Liberty bonds, their sacrifice
is trifiing. The boys whose names
appear in the lists. as we'll as those
who have escaped unframed, are not
fighting for glory. Life is as sweet
to them as to you. Can you live with
yourself if you have failed to give the
men at the front what support you
can in the purchase of Liberty bonds
Can you face your neighbors with
self respect if you have lodged doing
your share of the saving asked by the
government? Every one of those
names that stare at you every day
from the pages of the newspapers is
a mute appeal to every citizen to do
his duty-not in buying Liberty bonds,
alone, but in the Red Cross and every
other war agency.

TT is estimated that in the great bat
tie now raging on the western front
in France more than half a million
Of the German army has been killed,
wounded or captured. The losses sus-
tanned by the allied army are I'M
doubtedly great. The German en-
peror, so the dispatches state, is
watching the contest from a position
of personal safety" One wonders if
that mans conscience is entirely dead
if there never passes in review before
him in his troubled dreams the mil
lion specters of the dead who have
died as the result of his unhallowed |
ambition and unparalleled crime
against humanity. A quotation from
the lecture of Robert G. Ingersoll on
Napoleon might fit in here: "a little
while ago | stood by the grave of the
old Napoleon. And | thought of all
the widows and orphans he had made;
of all the tears that had been shed
for his glory; and | said, | would
rather have been poor French peas
ant and worn wooden shoesl | would
rather have lived in hut with the
zines growing over the door and the
grapes growing purple in the autumn
sun; yes, | would rather have been
hat poor peasant and gone down to
he tongueless silence of the dream
ess dust than to have been that i'm
of force and murder
snown as Napoleon the Great" But
he ambitious crimes of Napoleon sink
nto insignificance as compared with
he greater crimes of William III of ,
Paint Napoleon as black !
S you may, he was still model of s
onor, a gentleman and a saint as
ompared with the super-fend who {
ules over Germany. And at that the n
aiser is no worse than his military +
ivisers.

WE doubt very much il forcing pro-
Germans to kiss the flag does any
good. Our notion is that you can't
change mans sentiments or mini
mize his capacity for harm, by beating
him up. There are two ways of deal
ing effectively with the pro-German.
One Of them is TO put him where the
"dogs can't bite him" for the duration
Of the war. The other is to stand
him up against wall in front of a
firing squad. If it were left to us we
should select the latter method.

OF our exports. nearly $4,000, 900
consisted Of crude materials for use in
manufacturing. and $4Oo,000,OO0 of
manufactures for further use In man

export trade that year consisted of
articles on which further labor was to
be performed before they were ready
for consumption. and the percentage
increased greatly during the short
period the democratic tariff law full
swing. Why should not that labor
have been performed here and our ex-
port Of finished articles been that
much more augmented? Great Brit
ain and Germany both export chiefly
manufactured articles. From Great
Britain in 1913 we imported 1891 ,oO0,-
600 worth Of goods, and in 1914, $780,

months of war. A large amount OF
our imports from those two countries
consisted of articles made up from the
crude and semi crude materials which
they imported from the United States.
1t should be the policy of every
country to finish, ready for use, so far
as possible, every commodity 1t ex-
ports. Such a policy assures the en-
ployment of it's own people In per-
forming all the work necessary to pre-
pare crude materials for final use. If
this work is not done by the people
of the country where the crude ma
terial Is produced, it must be done by
the people of the country to which it
is exported. The opportunity of
people to finish crude materials for
final consumption at home or abroad
determines the degree of their self
employment and their progress to-
ward commercial stability and indie
pendence, and such has been, and will
be, the goal of republican achieve
ment in the framing of tariff laws.

fishers In many cases have heretofore

papers can stand 1t, but they would
like to see a disposition on the part
Of the government to practice little

are tons of stuff mailed out from

but which Is invariably consigned to
the waste backet. Much Of this con-
tains statistical matter of no interest
to the reading public, learned techni-
cal discussions, reports of unheard of
boards and commissions and myriad
of bulletins and reports sent out from
the various departments. These pub
LEGATIONS are all right and serve a USE
full purpose, but the indiscriminate
distribution of them should be stopped
and their circulation confined to peo-
pie who are interested in the subjects
discussed. If the government would
discontinue the publication of useless
documents, a greater economy would
be effected in the use of paper than
will be accomplished by cutting out
free copies from newspaper offices.
The government order to the news
papers Is a striking example of saw
ing at the spigot and wasting at the
bung.

DUBOIS AND HIS JOB.
(Nampa Leader Herald)


The larger issues of the war are
causing people to overlook matters
that would otherwise be considered of
vital Importance. The appointment
of Fred T. Dubois to position for
life, with the ordnance department,
with salary of $3.50 per year has
caused hardly ripple. Here is a man
of no knowledge of ordnance what
ever, drawing a princely salary for
duties he knows nothing about. In
fact it Is said there are no duties.
So far this would appear to be true,
UP to date the only guns to receive
any attention at the hands of Mr.. Du-
bois have been political guns. He has
done some good tinkering with Them
1t must be admitted. He came to Ida
no to fix up the fences of John Nu
gent and to do whatever he could to
secure the election of democratic con-
gressmen. His fine Italian hand is
clearly seen in recent political deve
opments The worst feature of the
whole damnaIble business Is the fact
that 1t seems clear that Mr., Dubois is
drawing his $500 per year for politi-
cal work with the full knowledge and
consent of the administration. 1t Is
mconceivable that the taxpayers will
stand for this outrage and yet 1t
seems to pass unnoticed.
