isolated country will have empty benches for an audience. {. During the war we have not hesi- tated at any action, however radical it was regarded by conservatives in other times, that would help win the war. We have employed weapons both ancient and modern. Some of our men are wearing coats of mail, others are mounting the heavens. The javelin of the case-dweller has. it's place with the latest concoction of poisonous gas. Even so, in the new time shortly at hand our real leaders will be those who wilt not reject a, method or a principle because it is old or embrace it because it is new.
 We will prove all things in order that we may hold fast only to that which is good for an heritage to be handed down by the generation that stood in it's lot in these days and saved the civilized world. &

The world after peace shall have been won will not go back to condi- tions such as existed prior to our en- trance into the mighty struggle.
 The people will take on new dig nity. What labor earns will find it's way into the pockets of labor. New conditions will impose new duties. Statesmanship of vision will create new opportunities for American com merce and guarantee to labor the bread it has earned.
 Political shibboleths that men heed- ed in 1916 are as dead as the mum mics of Egypt, and public men who try to galvanize them will be inferred in the catacombs that overlook Salt River.
 This war is fundamental. It's effect will be to change everything. Trade and commerce and finance will seek

ANTITRUST LAW
 A DEAD LETTER

The Department of Justice has an nounced it's willingness to postpone for one year the prosecution of the antitrust cases under the Sherman law. For a long time these cases have been awaiting trial, and now, finding that he corporations involved by reason of their trustification have be0n able to produce materials for the war with staggering efficiency the De- partnent of Justice postpones the cases.
 The action of the Department of Justice has called forth in the press a storm of sarcastic criticism which reficc,s the form capitalist evolution is taking

By C. II. King.

The rampantly reactionary capital ist papers and politicians are all op- posed to peace on any terms. They want the war to continue regardless of what the Germans are willing to do. And they are bitterly opposed to peace on the basis of Wilson's four teen points and five principles. !
 The S. F. Daily Journal of Com- merce quotes the American Economist organ of the American Protective TaTifT League. as follows:'-,
 Tn the great sisue of 1918, far moro is involved than the release of nations from the tyranny of Germany. True, that is the rallylng ground the reason why the Allies and the boys from America are fighting so desperately. But back of all the shouts for liberty and freedom is the bare cold fact that this is an economic war. war for national supremacy and security"
 The Tariff League is, of course the political arm of big business. When Lodge and Poindexter ahd Kahn and the rest of that gang of reactionists talk. they are merely saying what the Tariff League tells them the interests of Big Business demands.

 There are hundreds of thousands of Republican voters in the American army. There are hundreds of thous- lnds of Republican fathers whose sons are fighting in France; There are thousands' of Republican mothers whose Heroic boys have already given the last full measure of devotion.
 We wonder what they think of this cold-blooded. sordid, mercenary proposition that the American Eco nomist puts forth? We wonder what they think of the claim that their sons have not bceu~ lighting for human freedom, have not been fighting for the liberty of mankind. but have bat. tied merely for economic gain. for dirty dollars to be stuffed into the swollen pockets of Steel and Wool and Cotton?-Oakland Worker.

WANT MORE TEACHERS.

1t will be necessary to call IN
unframed teachers to fill the
ranks of the profession this year
and next unless the present con-
didions are relieved according to
Professor Phi. Soulen, head of
the Department of Education at
the University of Idaho who
has. been unable to fill the calls
he has received for thoroughly
equipped school masters and
school madams.
"Never before have we been
so much in need of college train
ed men and women" said Pro-
fessor Soulen. Salaries for
teachers have raised consider
ably during the last year. Teach
ers do not yet receive as much
pay as day laborers, but school
boards are slowly beginning to
realize the necessity for living
wage for teachers. Despite
this condition men and women
refuse to stay in the profession
when the rewards are so much
higher in other lines of work.
The great demand will moi
stop in the course of the next
few years, Professor Soulen be-
lieVes.

FORBID HUNTING.

Twenty-three .stockmen arc
farmers, in the Keuterville sec
tion, have signed their names to
a notice which will prohibit
hunting on their land. The land
owned by these men comprises
great part of the land in the
Keuterville section and is also
one of the best hunting grounds
in this part of the country. This
action is taken on account of so
many hunters leaving gates
open and otherwise molesting
stock. Another reason is that
several animals have been killed
by careless hunters in years
gone by. Also on account of the
great danger of some careless
hunter throwing away a cigar
or cigarette stub and causing
fire, which, with the present
conditions of the timber would
no doubt result in great loss to
the owners. The action taken
by these gentlemen cannot be
condemned by any fair minded
person as they are simply taking
this precaution in protecting
their property to which they
have perfect right. So be-
ware Mr.. Hunter as these gentle
men will enforce this ruling on
their own private property

Is an alrplane a vehicle Z"
If it is one and is used for the
transportation of passengers, it
is a public utility and as such
is subject to the public utilities
law.
But the public utilities COM
mission is not sure it is a vehicle.
1t has submitted the question to
Raymond L. Givens assistant
attorney general, for an opinion.
If it is found that airplanes
are public utilities, hearings will
be necessary to decide what
fares shall be charged by oper-
ators of airplanes.
Whether or not it is necessary
for a carrying vehicle to follow
an established route in order to
be classed as a public utility is a
question now in the courts fol
decision. This question was
raised by a taxicab operator. AS
airplanes follow various routes
even between the same points
they will be affected by the deci-
sion if it is finally held that
they are public utilities.

ordered a new one, which sold
for $3.50 by William r. Rog-
ers the local agent. After the

man from the Greencreek Sec
ton notified the Chronicle that
he had found tie same. The
road on which this shaft was
found had never been travelled
by the Oldham's and evidently
must have been found by some
one and again lost. The ad cost
them 20 cents making an actual
saving of $9.10.

TRAIN RUNNING LATE.

The Camas Prairie passenger
train, running between Grange
vile and Lewiston has been
late every evening since the
strike was called at Lewiston
last week, from one to two hours
This is due to the fact that the
fruit shipment is at it's height,
and also to the train not leaving
Lewiston on time on account of
the strike. 1t is reported that
the strikers at Lewiston have
not molested train operations in
the least. For the most part
they have remained quietly at
their homes, awaiting an adjust
ment of the differences that
made it necessary for them to
leave their positions or stand
dishonored in the organization

and with which they are affili-
ated.

STATE WILL BUY SUPPLIES.

Staple food supplies enough to
last several months will prob
ably be purchased by the state
bureau of supplies for use of the
seven state penal and charitable
institutions when the govern
ment places on sale the food
stuffs purchased for the army
during the war.
Frank S. Lint, state purchas-
ing agent, received word recent
ly from Congressman Addison
T. Smith that the state would be
allowed to purchase an unlimited
quantity of the food on the same
basis as individuals. Mr.. Smith
advised Mr.. Lint that if the
matter were urgent he would
take it up with the surplus prop
erty division preferential bu-
reau.
Notices were sent out Satur-
day afternoon to the heads of
the state institutions, asking
them to make a list of their
needs for the winter.
An enormous saving can be
made by buying the army food,
the state purchasing agent be-
lieves. 1t is estimated that at
least a carload of bacon will be
needed, and the government sup
ply will be sold at 2412 cents
per pound, which is from Is to
2515 cents under the best local
prices.
Approximately $4,000 worth
of food supplies are used by the
state penal and charitable insti-
tutions. The institutions for
which the purchases would be
made are the asylun1s at Black
foot, Nampa and Orofino; the
Soldiers Home, the deaf and
blind school at Gooding, the in
dustrial training school at St.
Anthony and the state peniten-
tiary at Boise.

WARN AGAINST
HOLDING WHEAT
Grain Corporation Director
Refuses All Foreign
Contracts.

Wheat growers of the Pacific
northwest are warned not to
hold their grain for higher
prices, for not only will the
government not pay any premi-
uIn whatever over the establish
ed price until supplies become
too great and terminals are con-
gested, but holders are likely to
run afoul of the federal author
tiles for profiteering.
Very little wheat of the new
crop is being marketed in the
Pacific northwest, according to
M. H. Hou5tr, second vie p"esl-
ident of the grain corporation.
Mr.. Houser announces that the
United States Grain corporation
will add no storage premiums to
the basic prices in it's buying
scale for the present, nor until
there accumulates in the grain
corporations hands a sufficient
reserve Of wheat to assure q
measure of protection for future
home requirements.
"In accordance with this pol
icy the wheat director is refus-
ing proffered contracts which
foreign buyers are desirous of
making at the grain corporation
price level" said Mr.. Houser.
"These buyers are apparently
anxious to cover their require
ments for some months in ad-
vance. Apparently their in
ability to secure supplies in other
sources of wheat makes them
especially urgent in proposing
contracts with the United States
but these contracts can not be
entered into until a sufficient
accumulation of wheat in the
hands of the grain corporation
furnishes assurance of reason
able prices to our own people.

LAW Fixes LIMIT.

Shooters may have only six
birds in their possession at any
one time of the varieties of par
trige, sage hen, pheasant,
grouse, according to the provi-
sions of the state fish and game
law.
This information is given out
as a result of a bit of nnisunder-
standing among sportsmen as to
the allowed bag limits on upland
birds, that will be open to shoot
ing on August Is.
There is some ambiguity in
the synopsis of the game law
printed on the licenses where it
reads that a hunter may have 20
game birds in his possession at
one time. This statement is
embodied in the clause on the
license relating to waterfowl and
refers to this class of birds only.
According to the complete
game law that gives the follow
ing limitations on upland birds,
section 16 reads: "And it shall
be unlawful to kill in any one
day or have in his possession a
total of more than six Of the fol-
lowing birds: partridge, sage hen
pheasant, grouse or more than
IL mourning doves"
The title, pheasant" in this
clause refers to the native
pheasant and not to the Chinese
or ringneck pheasant.
