the taking over of telegraph and
telephone systems, Assistant Post
master General Koons told the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee at a hearing which closed
just before issuance of orders by the
Postmaster General relinquishing
operation of the wire properties.
Mr.. Rooms made no mention of the
intention of the Postmaster General
to turn back the wires for private
operation.
Mr.. Rooms declared that If other
wire companies had adopted the
same policy as the Postal, it would
have strangled the government in
the conduct of the war.
He charged that the Postal avoid

Contrary to explicit court instruction; contrary to
every decent principle Of American citizenship and con-
trary to every law of common fairness, the editor of the
valley County News has pronounced judgment against re-
to blacken their character and to fasten upon them crimes
upon the accusation of which they have never received
trial. Taking advantage of his position-aposition of
trust and responsibility-he has caused to be sent forth to
tain of their fe]low-citizens with marks of obloquy. And
al OF those things he has done in the name of good citizen
ship.
The editor of the News occupies a peculiar position in
tnls community. AS the local representative of a political
movement Of importance, he has an open sesame to the
MINDS OF a considerable number of those who make up the
electorate and those whose names appear upon our iurv

Would you want or wish a journal antagonistic to YOU

MALICE N ALIBI.

1t is seldom if ever that n is call

such fragrant abuse Of the journalistic
privilege as the screed of hate and
v~ituperation recorded in last weeks

experience in newspaper work have

others and such an open violation Of
the tenets of newspaperdom.
The grand jury in Valley county last
week brought in indictments against
several of our citizens. This matter
is ordinary news material. Upon il
editorial comment Of any kind is
"taboo." Unfair editorial comment is
not only in violation of law but is en-
tirely unjust, and when INDUCED in
to the extreme to which the News has
gone it can come from nothing but
malice and a desire to do injury to
men who have always borne good rep
utations and who have always held
the confidence and respect of their
fellow-men.
1.-THE grand jury could not have
found evidence upon which to base an
indictment =. unless somebody
had violated the law" says the News.
This is a deliberate misstatement.
1t is designed to mislead and designed
to cause belief in the guilt of the ac-
cused before trial. A grand jury indict-
ment DOES NOT mean "somebody vi
olated the law" any more than does
an information drawn by the county
attorney. A grand jury accusation
and an ordinary information are in
effect the same thing, and neither is
evidence of guilt. Therefore Rhodes
statement is a lie. And it is a mean
despicable lie because it is calculated
to deceive and to prejudice the minds
of those who may be called upon to
act as jurors in these cases.

RUSSIAN THISTLES MAKE

Cut Bank, August 9th.-Russian
thistles make good feed for cows if
cut at the right time and properly
cured, according to the experience of
Henry Bergdorf, a farmer of this re-
gion. Last year he made an expert
ment, cutting the thistles early in
the morning and stacking them the
same day. The thistles cured we'll
and when winter came he fed them
to his mich cows, the animals soon
developing a liking for the weeds,
eventually prefering them to good
hay. Mr.. Bergdorf advises his neigh
bors to cut their thistles, partially
for the purpose of Kidding their farms
of the weeds and also because of their
feed value.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
FOR DISCHARGED YANKs

ing to give discharged service men
every opportunity to qualify for civil
positions, asked the attorney general
for an opinion as to whether it would
be legal to open, for the benefit of
h%onorably discharged soldiers, sailors
and marines, examinations which had
been closed. The attornel general

action is legal in view of the spirit

one been found guilty of violating the
law? Can Mr.. Rhodes say, before any
trial of the defendants, that any of
them have violated the law?
Why does he find these men guilty
when they have not yet been tried?
Why does he seek to poison the minds
of his readers against these accused ?
Is it an attempt to "get from UNDER
in respect to the wholesale charges
that he has been making-charges
that those who believe his every
word expect to see proven?
By his words:
"This (that defendants should
have experienced counsel to de-
fend them) is accepted without
question, but there is one phase
Of the situation that in many in
stances counsel for, the defense
seem to lose sight of entirely,
that is whether they are to pro-
tect the legal right of the pris-
oner or client, or whether they
are to lay every obstacle in the
way of a fair trial and regard
less of the defendants guilt or
innocence, get him free from con-
viction if such a thing can be
done,"
does the News editor show that he
feels doubtful of the conviction Of the
parties accused and is seeking to con.
vict them beforehand anyway in the
minds of a certain percentage Of his
readers in order to alibi himself fol
his constant assertions that grave
wrongs have been committed. 1t Ger.
tainly seems so.
He almost presupposes that the
courts will find no cause in the &C.
cused and he already lays the "blame'
for the expected outcome upon clever
lawyers and technicalities. While prac.
ticall predicting their acquittal he pub.
fishes them as guilty.
The Courier, in line with common
ordinary courtesy to the courts, does
not wish to enter into a controversy
with the News over the guilt or limo
of the accused. But The Courier
has a sense Of fairness that will not
allow it to keep silent when decent
citizens are so unfairly assaulted.

FORD STARTING AND
LIGHTING SYSTEM APPROVED

7. M. Sullivan, local Ford agent, is
enthusiastic over the new Ford light
ing and starting systems. Mr. Sulli-
van says:
Henry Ford tested the Ford start
ing and lighting system on his own
car for one year.
Ten months ago the Ford Motor
company was not manufacturing cleo
trio starters; today the output Of its
starter department is greater than
that of any other manufacturer of cleo
trio starting devices in the world. It's
nearest competitor makes one thou
sand day, whereas the Ford COM
pany's output is fast approaching the
three thousand mark, two thousand
eight hundred and eighty-one already
having been manufactured in one day.
The Ford starter-and generator, for
it is really two separate units-is not
the result of a new idea or of sud
den decision More than eight years
ago Henry Ford's vision saw the need,
and his electrical engineers were in
structed to begin experimenting. Aft
er seven years of constant research,
which took into consideration the
many different climates in which the
Ford car is used, together with the
factors of size and weight and an
adaptibility to quantity production,
23 trial jobs were built. These were
tested in many different ways. Mr..
Ford himself used one on his car for
year. Still the engineers continued
their experiments and improvements.
Then came the order from the gov
eminent for $4,000 three-ton tanks,
each one of which was to be equipped
with two synchronized Ford motors. A
starter was essential, so the one now
being installed on Ford cars was
evolved. But, only one starter and
generator was used to turn over the
two Ford motors in each tank. jan
uary 1, 1919, the Ford Motor compa-
ny began equipping enclosed cars with
this new starting and lighting system.
Ford engineers say that although the
entire system-starter and Generator
weighs only 81 pounds, it produces
a higher torque output constant rot
airy motion) pound for pound, than any
other system on the market.
When the department for building
the starting and lighting systems first
began production, fifty hours labor
was charged to each unit but now
that machinery and equipment have
been installed, the time, per unit is
four hours. Two huge armature i'm
ORIGINATING ovens have been installed,
each with capacity of 100 every

WATCH YOUR STEP
SAYS BLEAMASTER
PHYSICAL DIRECTOR OF UNI
VERSITY OF IDAHO ISSUES
TIMELY WARNING

A great work has been undertaken
by w. C. Bleamaster, physical direc-
tor of the University of Idaho, in an
effort to correct many faults of posi-
ton, walking, ETC., which are injurious
to the health. Mr.. Bleamaster has a
big task before him as he has the en-
tire student body in his department.
He is trying to correct many com
mon faults of all of us mortals which
tend to injure US physically and in
this should have the help of all. He
has issued set of rules for correct
ing these faults which this paper is
glad to publish. They follow:
POSTURE. If one could be made
to realize the Importance Of posture
and its effect upon the entire system
perhaps more thought would be given
this subject. 1t has much to do with
circulation of the spinal cord, the
working of the internal organs, es-
pecially the lungs, heart, stomach,
liver and kidneys.
STANDING POSTURE.-Ho the
body as tall as possible without ris-
ing on the toes. This gives the great
est available space for the organs. The
muscles of front, back and sides are
in perfect balance. The head erect
and poised. The shoulders rest easily
upon the upper and posterior part of
chest without tension of muscles.
Legs should be straight and the
weight is chiefly borne upon the balls
of the feet This will give high
chest with flat abdomen and affords
poise for action, either forward, back
ward, or sideways. 1t also assurs
conference of every muscle of the body.
SITTING POSTURE. Sitting or
lying postures are of quite as much
Importance as standing; but the chief
point to remember, to whatever use
the body may be put, is that the
trunk must be kept in such a posi-
ton that the organs be not construct
ed
Do not slump in your chair, bent
spine means a narrow chest and alb
dominal cavity.
SHOULDERS When the shoulders
are dropped forward it causes over
strain of the back muscles, curcature
of the spine, and flatening of the
chest ESQ that breathing and heart
action are impaired). 1t throws the
body out of balance and often causes
foot strain. 1t also causes protruding
abdomen, displacement of liver, kid
neys, and intestines, thus causing
what is often known as nervous in
digestion.
Circulation of the spinal cord is
dependent very largely upon the tone
of the muscles of the spine If these
centers become weakened from over
strain due to poor posture, the entire
system may be affected. And not
only does the muscular system of the
trunk organs suffer, but the effect
