lessons of the past and the great
work and more than human wisdom
of the men who gave shape and
character to our institutions.
Finally, your true American be-
lieves that character Is the greatest
thing in the world. Character Is
moral order embodied in the individ-
ual, and men of character are the
mainstay of any society or any gov
eminent to which they belong.
Character, developed in the stormy
pillows Of life, is that to which we
look for leadership in the world OF
endeavor and as a haven OF safety
in time Of storm.
MAY our country ever remain the
land of ordered freedom and self
government, the land of hope and
opportunity above all others. May
no flag other than the Stars and
Stripes ever find lodgment in the
free air of America. May our faith
in our national destiny be born anew
with each coming of the morning
light, and may our courage to be
worthy of our country and its des-
tiny, our courage to be true Ameri-
cans, be as high as its purpose Is
noble and holy."-Statesman.

does not expect perfection.
Your true American believes in
human liberty, in the largest prac-
.ticable measure of liberty, but the
liberty in which he believes is the
liberty to do. what the law allows.
He knows that the liberty of people
consists in being governed, by laws
which they have made themselves
under their own for moi government
The spirit Of liberty includes not
only a proper regard for our own
particular rights but decent re-
spect for the rights of others.
No Place for Envy and Greed
Holding these views, your true
American will resolutely oppose
those who, in their impatient grasp
ing for unattainable perfection
would make of liberty raging and
destructive torrent instead of a ma
jestic life-giving stream; those who
out of sentimental, emotional and
economic fallacies, and envy, greed
and demagogy, would concoct fan
tastic political and social system and
foist it upon this country; those who

Can Easily Enforce
Prohibition Law

BOISE, Idaho, Dec. S.-Idaho does
not need to worry about lack of leg
islation to enforce the prohibition
law. This is in substance the an
swer of Attorney General Black to
the query Of County Attorney Hull,
of Shoshone county, who contended
that, while the state legislature
passed a constitutional prohibition
amendment, which the people later
ratified, subsequent legislatures had
not passed the necessary legislation
to enforce the amendment.
There is in force and effect in this
state, and there has been for some
time, bone-dry law which makes it
a crime to have intoxicating liquors
in ones possession. The constitu-
tional amendment prohibits forever
the manufacture, sale or transporta-
tion of liquors. The statutory act
and the amendment to the constitu-
tion give the state the strongest pos
sible laws to keep Idaho dry, in the
opinion of the attorney general.

We Fail in the
Time of Peace

We have the greatest country in
the world. We have the greatest
government in the world In time of
war. We can skate over rough ice,
but our skates do not seem to work
when it comes to smooth ice. We
can fight and kill and win.- But we
haven't sense enough to make laws
which insure justice. In the name
of human liberty we enable three or
four men to starve women and ba-
bies and freeze them and we do not
seem to know any better.
We can draft men from the farms
to. shoot at the enemies of the gov
eminent. We can 60 out into the
field and unhitch the horses and
take the young man away from the
pillow. We can put uniform on him
and send him into the army and
navy. But we cannot put one man
in the coal mines.
In regard to fighting, we do not
permit the man to do any thinking
for himself, but when it comes to
digging coal he is the arbiter. We
do not permit the farmer to with
hold his wheat from the mill. In
fact, we go with him to the mill.
We see that his flour is ground. We
then go with him to the bakery and
see that the flour is baked into
bread. If he cheats in the weight
we put him in Jail.
But when we have tears in our
eyes and tell the miner that babies
are sick and it is sold in the house
and that there is no coal, he will
say, 81 cannot help you; we are out
on a strike"
Our patriotism is burning up in
time of war. We can send four mil
lion men to the training camps We
can send half of them over the sea
We can bring them home again and
they are at once in the minority
The man who digs coal. can freeze
them to death.
We did not allow Germany to
freeze our soldiers and we would not
do so. But in our own beloved land
the coal miner can tell the soldier
| to go way back and sit down and
freeze. The soldier saved the coal
mine while he was saving the coun-
| try but he can have no word with
the coal miner. The coal miner
could have been exempted from the
draft and thousands of them were
so exempt.
| The thing for this government tC
do is to try and have plans and
specifications drawn to take care OF
the American part of the human
race when we are not at war.-Idaho

| AUTHORITY
THAT GOVERNS

Good advice coming from fool
is worthless. A lot of sound COM
mon sense is wasted on the world
on account of the source from which
it comes. A sanctimonious, over
pious person is the last one nor
NAL human being wants to be adj
vised by.
Men should reverence the law of
their country. 1t is the law which
by common consent governs over all
individual acts and uphOlds individ-
ual rights. But if the law becomes
fussy, like some men, and issues tan
trum edicts, reverence for it de-
clines. The law should be stable,
slow to change and dignified. Men
will abide by it so long as it shows
virility and soiidity. If it grows
childish it shows the weakness of
old age.-F. Y. K.

Old Men in Command
of Recent War Work

The world war has been called a
young mems war because young men
filled the ranks, but it was also an
old mans war because old men were
in command, hardly one of the dis
tinguished military leaders having
been under while most of them were
over fifty. Foch, Joffre, Pershing,
Haig and Hindenburg are all in the
neighborhood of sixty. Among the
government war leaders, j, Lloyd
George, Clemenceau, Wilson and Or
lando are all of mature or advanced
age, Hoover alone among the great
managers being as young as forty
five. The same was true of the Boer
war, all of the distinguished Eng
lishmen in command at the front
with the exception of Kitchener),
as well as in charge of the govern
ment at home, ranging in age from
sixty to seventy. On the Boer side
Kruger was seventy, the same age
as Won Moltke when he won the
Franco-Prussian war. The poet
warrior, D'Annunzio, is fifty-six.
Going farther back, however, we
find different story. Grant was
most successful at 40, Sheridan at
80, Stonewall Jackson at 81, "Jeb"
Stuart at 20, Lee being the chief
exception with "a years to his credit
when he took command. Nelson was
80 at the Victory of the Nile, Well
ington "a at Assaye, and the Duke of
Cumberland only 25 when he be-
came commander-in-chief. Napoleon
was a renowned military figure
while yet in the twenties, as was
julius Caesar, Alexander the Great
and other warriors of ancient times
Although the present is supposed to
be pre-eminently the age of young
men, the more recent wars have wit
messed a majority of men advanced
in age in supreme command both at
home and in the field.

Save Wild Birds
From Starvation

People turnout the Snake river
valley are requested by the state
game department, to give prompt at
tention to feeding the wild game
birds such as Monaghan pheasants
and any other wild birds whose
natural food is now covered with
snow. Those who know the localit-
les in which the birds stay, should
devise ways of placing grain where
they will find it.
A study of their habits may be
necessary in order to get the grain
placed so they will find it and not be
kept away from it by fear. They
may not be willing to approach
ordinary containers such as one
would put out for chickens, but this
paper has no suggestions to put
forth.
All wild birds that eat insects may
need food during these stormy
times, and farmers are invited to
give attention to them. A little
later in the winter there will be
more birds in sight than we have
now, and provision should be- made
for them when they come. There
are many birds that do good service
to farms and orchards, but there are
periods when they must be supplied
or they suffer.

THE DAYS
LABOR

Some people are always talking
about what their days. labor is
worth. They usually think it is
worth more than they receive for it.
Sometimes it is. But some of them
that talk about it SO much would
receive more if they should simply
forget it.
Mr.. Ford's Dearborn Independ-
ent' is out with page of editorial
on how to compute the value of a
days labor. Certainly it is true that
a man deserves more than living,
that he should be paid some profit
for the fact of his being a citizen,
valuable to the community, house
holder, bread winner and there
should be something left over for
the days of his decline. A nation
which forgets that it's workers de-
serve more than a mere living is al
ways in for trouble such as the
United States is having. If employ
ers could only be far-sighted men
that need no handwriting on the
wall to make them less selfish, then
we should have no trouble, and our
business plan would not be what
it is.
Perhaps American business ethics
are changing little, but in the past
few decades there has been too high
premium on success" The cost
lid not matter. Now they are be-
ing heard from who were stepped
on. Big men are being called to the
carpet, and yet they have not been
so much to blame. The system was
wrong. Any who criticised it were
called "drea mers' and their protests
were "vagaries."
In stimulating thrift and progress
our people finally idolized success
To win became the principal thing
| rhe system was so justified it could
not reform itself. The war came
along and picked out it's flaws, and
now business man who fritters
away some of his time and money
| on community helpfulness stands
higher than the man who is devoted
to A No. 1.
| All violent changes are painful
| and it is no wonder, with the slow
but heavy wheels of legislation
grinding out reforms in answer tc
the press of public opinion, | that
American industry should suffer
| Perhaps it is better to have it over
with as quickly as possible, but il
is the extreme way. When industry
suffers everybody shares some of the
loss. If it were not for the enter.
| orise of the few there would not be
so much profit to fight over. Some
men create industry and Others
work it out. And if the workers
crowd the enterprisers too much SC
that it is hard to go into business
and stay fewer will try, and what
industry there is will naturally fall
into the hands of yet fewer.-F.C.K
