ton to the Methodist Episcopal
church for exclusive rehabilitation
Many of these villages were COM
pletely demolished in the desperate
fighting when the American troops
stopped the German advance on
Paris. This latest assignment brings
the number of returning refugees
who are now dependent upon the
Methodists for many of the neces-
sites of life, up to nearly 10000.
All welfare activities in this area
are operated by them. They are CO.
operating with the SAmerican Red
Cross at Scissors Immediately to the
north and with the Wellesley unit
to the south. Y. NJ. c. A. barracks
from many parts of France are being
demounted and transported to the
Methodist area to provide shelter fer
the destitute people.
Funds for this work are to be sup
piled out fthe S113,O00,O 1000 offer
ing of the Methodist Episcopal
church. AS part of their world
program, the Methodists will spend
$12,500,000 in Europe reconstruc-
tion during the next five years. UP
to date more than 100000 have
been spent on temporary relief alone
consisting mainly of food, clothing
and shoes for war sufferers, exclu-
svie of administrative expenses.
The Methodists have purchased
for their headquarters the historic
Elephant Hotel in Chateau Thierry,
beside the famous bridge over the
Marine which the American troops
destroyed to check the advancing
Germans. 1t is situated on the Rue
de President Wilson near the Place
DIES Etats Unis.
Field Marshall Sir Douglas Haig
sends the following message to the
church:
Il send my best wishes to the
Methodist Episcopal churches for the
success of their after war reconstruc-
ton at home and abroad.
During the four and a half years
of war, the church has played a
great part spiritually and materially,
and now stands in need of universal
encouragement to enable her to con-
tinue her work for humanity and to
enable her to assist in solving the
many grave problems that lie ahead
of us"

his fitness for the office, just the
anne as ten years before that, the
man who set 'em up to the most
whisky drew enough votes from the
-aloons to down any opposing can
dldate no matter how capable he
might be to ill the position to which
he aspired. The honorable news
paper man and the honorable can
didate were generally left out, and
idaho had it's run of corruption in
loIitics and in administration of gov
eminent. Everything became more
or less corrupt from top to bottom
and in 1914 when the state treas
urer was found to have embezzled
$4,000 the grating spirit per-
meated everything down to con-
stable and road overseer. In Bing-
ham county nearly every road dis
trict had it's factions striving to con-
troll politically so they could have
their man in as road overseer, and
when their overseer got the appoint
ment, the smaller fry of the con-
stituency expected to be employed
for a few days on the road in dull
times, and it was mutually under
stood that it would be easy work,
short hours and good pay. They
loafed on the job, tapped the county
treasury for what they could, found
fault that taxes were high, criticised
the governor for it and blamed the
county commissioners for not having
good roads. Every man who partici-
pated in those things is in some de-
gree responsible for the conditions
confronting us today in poor roads,
high taxes and the spirit of bolshev-
ism. Every woman who took sides
in those old neighborhood feuds and
went to the polls to cast her vote
under that influence is in some meas
ure responsible for our poor roads,
high taxes and the acknowledged
corruption of politics. None of us
have any right to put up our noses
and say we are not going to have
anything to do with politics because
it is too rotten, because we helped
to make it so, and those who stay
out of it only give the corrupt fell
low the chance he wants, to get in
control and turn us over bodily to
the agitators.
TO show you how this condition
connected up with Idaho politics in
the last campaign and how easily it
can now be overthrow or repeated,
want to tell you two items.
A Good Example
Last winter Bingham county peo-
pie considered new plan of road
building, borrowed money on the
bonding plan, put the road construc-
tion on a new basis that took it en-
tirely out of the hands of both ele
nlents of the old cliques, built roa Is
that were infinitely better, built
them on business plans and not on
political pull, and at one stroke
wiped out the activities, the interest
and the incentive of the old cliques
that had been opposing each other
and they are all devoting their en-
ergies to more profitable things and
more practical plans and thoughts.
A Disgusting Example
In the last campaign one of the
cleanest and most honorable men in
public life in this state ran for high
office and was elected by printers

Chapter XVI

In the great shake-up and re-
arrangement of things taking place
in these after-war days, people are
going to witness the disappearance
of many influences that have been
breeding evil, and some of these
changes will come about in most I'M
expected places and will be the
means of cleansing the state and
county governments of much Of the
corrupting influence of the past
The Old Saloon Vote
Twenty years ago there was a
saloon to be taken into account in
every election. Candidates openly
walked into saloons and shouted,
Everybody come up and drink on
P. @. Smith. Come up boys and
drink on me-" And the whole push
would come up. After he had
mixed" with the bunch, and made
his assuring remarks and passed out,
he would be pronounced a good fell
low and would be remembered better
at the polls. In one Of our larger
towns, a whisky drummer running
for office openly set out sample
cases and barrels of his firms goods,
and there was a lineup all day
drinking whatever they wanted. He
was elected and the public accepted
all this as a matter of politics. .saa
Corrupt Newspaper Vote
AS that kind of thing went out of
vogue, enterprising candidates
adopted printers ink as the medium
for reaching the people with telling
remarks and articles, and press
agent provided ready-made editorials
manufactured by the candidate or
by his secretary and these were sent
to various leading newspapers who
were known to be friendly to the
candidate, and they were published
as original stuff written to express
the sentiments that came from the
bottom of the heart of the editor.
These in turn were reprinted in
clippings and mailed to most of the
smaller newspapers with requests to
publish them or so much of them as
they might feel willing. In those
good old day when newspapers were
established wherever there we're
supply of homesteads to be proved
up on, when print paper cost nearly
nothing, when lot of third-rate
men were getting into the newspaper
business all over the country, all
such trash as that was considered
very good matter to I'LL up the
paper" Then, too if the candidate
were successful in the race, those
papers that supported" him in the
campaign, were supposed to be re-
membered with some of the patron
age of the administration. If a can
didate were possessed of wealth and
a willingness to pass some of it
around among the newspaper men,
he could get almost any kind of rot
published about himself for a little
money. All kinds of schemes were
developed for printing man into
fame and office, and it developed
such conditions as those attending
the breaking of the bank at Wallace,
Idaho, with the campaign expenses
Of Barney O'Neil, with all of the at
tendant ills. The man who had the
most money and could use it the
most cleverly among the press, gen
orally got elected without regard to

We Have Been on the Job

up and compared with the greater invest
ment and greater Indebtedness that he had
to face, he found the debts actually looked
good and comforting to him, they meant
so much in all these other respects. He
said the very fact that he had the best in
the state to work with, impressed him and
all his help with the idea that they ought
to produce the best product in the state,
and that his customers must have the
benefit of it.
We thought of all that when we were
studying about whether we should under
take the big task of erecting building
of our own and equipping it with the
best there is for our line of business. We
hope to get into that building early in
1920, and we too, are going to feel that
our customers are entitled to the very best
goods and service that it is possible for
us to give them with our improved plant
We believe we shall enjoy our work in
1920 more than ever before. We are
going to try to serve you better, and we
invite your attention to every feature of
it, to see if we are improving, and if so,
how much. For your splendid patronage

a good many years, and we have enjoyed
our work more each year. We believe
we render a better service each year.
Sometimes we reflect upon the way we
used to conduct our business and we blush
to think of how crude it was in some re-
spects 1t may be crude yet in some ways,
but in the light of present information
as it is to be had in modern sanitation and
meat market operation, we feel consider
able pride in being near the head of the
class. When we remember how much we
have improved in ten years we feel hum
bled at the memory of what it was then,
and we feel proud that we have improved
so much.

the extent Of its work and its mem.

that your Red Cross has over twenty

such support from the whole American
people It would have been obviously
impossible to accomplish the wonder
