Last spring was very cold, raw
one after they came end one might
think they had obtained little in
sight of what our real winters are
like, but the memory of their spring
discomforts were banished by the ad.
vent of our big summer days filed to
overlooking with clear sunshine. It
sometimes takes us years to change
our views Of life for the better and
we claim higher standard Of citiz-
enship. Then how can we expect the
poor Mexicans to do so in half sea-
son?
Considering all we know about
them, including difference in speech,
don't you think it would have proven
a wise move to appoint some one per-
son to take an advisory oversight of
counsel and admonition to the whole
colony? Father Gressl perhaps could
have had considerable influence as
they are largely of Catholic faith
What would you think of a step Of
this kind for the coming winter?
Again, if these people are to re-
main with us, and undoubtedly many
Of them will do so unless forced to
return, should we not begin the
melting pot" process of assimila-
ton at once by establishing school
for them in some room or hall about
town until they are far enough along
with our language and customs to
be absorbed by the public schools.
believe a movement Of this nature
placed in the hands of Father Gressl
would be best for the Mexicans, and
the most efficient manner by which
we could discharge our duties Of
citizenship ;the greater portion of
the financial burden carried by those
benefited by their labor and wage
and quite probably a good contribu-
ton from themselves.

Dere and Dhere
BY Mrs. Byrd Trego

The recent discovery that a con-
dition Of want and almost starvation
was existing among the Mexican
colony north of town, Is vital in
stance demanding a strict analysis
of our own stewardship as citizens.
There are many among us who
have said and are now saying that
we had nothing to do with bringing
them here and We are not RESPONSE
BILE for their keep. To this wide and
popular sentiment l should like to
reply; neither did we create the
Armenian people or add one jot to
their misery, or profit the least by
conditions brought about by their
destruction" And yet Mrs. Duck
worth who had charge of
the Armenian drive in Bing-
ham county tells me that our
county was among the very first
counties of the nation to send in her
contribution, and that she did all
that was required Of her.
If a mistake was made in bring
ing them here it was one among
thousands brought about by war con-
ditions. They are foreigners and
under normal conditions would be
entitled to admission in our territory
only under immigration laws. AS I
understand the situation, the need
for ,laborers was SO great that an
emergency war ruling was made
whereby they were allowed to come
to our relief. Their service may have
been an insignificant one in our esti-
nation, but it accomplished it's pur-
pose Of helping to feed the hungry
world. believe the Bingham county
beet crop ranked third this year. So
we profited by their labor and the
pay they received was spent with
our merchants and tradespeople.
1t is plainly the duty Of some one
to care for them and who Is i'm
mediately on the ground to do SO but
ourselves? The burden may be trans
ferred to others later, but we can
not allow them to live in starving
neglect while the responsibility Is
being distributed.
we do not like the Mexican peo-
pie it is true, but they were brought
here on an urgent mission which they
fulfilled and when we fail to provide
housing and food to laborers we fol-
low closely in the lines of causes that
have been leading factors as reasons
for some of the big strikes Of the
east. The big Remington works COW
ering an area Of seven acres at
Bridgeport, Conn.,. was converted
into a war munition factory and
called loudly for men at fabulous
wages, but provided no housing, no
recreation and no food at prices even
the big wage could afford. There
was immediate trouble and the gov
eminent had to build houses by the
scores to relieve the situation.
This Mexican lesson teaches us
that before we take another step OF
this kind we must assume to know
whaf we are doing and pt"vide
agains: difficulties We know will fol-

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.
support Asked for the Third Red
Cross Roll Nov, = to II.

Surgeon General Rupert Blue,
head of the United States Public
Health Service has paid a high tri-
butte to the peace program of the Am
erican Red Cross in a statement sent
to National Headquarters In WASH
ington. In his statement he urged
national support to the program dur
ing the Third Red Cross Roll Call,
Nov 2 to IL.
Very few have an adequate con-
ception Of the service rendered by the
Red Cross during the pandemic of
Influenza, a work largely obscurei
by the activities in France" Surgeon
General Blue said" 1t is indeed Q
gloomy picture that comes to ones
mind when he thinks what would
have occurred in those trying days had
1T not been for the Red Cross. With
the bulk of the nurses on duty with
the military forces. the Red Cross
stepped into the breach and perform
ed a service for which every Ameri-
can should feel forever grateful.
When the care of all discharged
disabled soldiers. sailors and mar
ines was turned over to the Public
Health Service, that department
found it difficult to secure nurses.
We turned to the Red Cross, and il
furnished us with highly trained, ex-
pert nurses with many years expert
ence.
This is only small part of the
Red Cross work. 1t plans to educate
a large number of public health
nurses and place one in every town
to instruct mothers in hygiene, HON
sanitation. diatetics and the care of
children. All this work will be done
in cooperation with the various
health organizations now in exist
ence. Such a program is of vital i'm
portance at this time and I take
pleasure in commencing it to every
person interested in the control of
preventable diseases and DESTROYS OF
promoting human health and well
fare"
