struggle in history. 1t has been test
ing period. Under the stress OF the
crisis and struggle, we have been COM
nelled TO view events with enlarged
vision. TO cast aside personal and even
national self-interest and to realize
orr responsibilities to promote the
general welfare of mankind. We have
learned nothing new about the abstract
rights of man, nothing new in theory
about liberty, equality and fraternity,
but we have learned much about their
practical application. A tremendous i'm

Message of Governor Davis
to the Idaho Legislature

of wise discretion and right motives
The solution of these problems is mol
to be found in the answer to the query
as to whether proposed reforms will
benefit one class or one industry. The
only test which your constituency asks
you to apply to legislation proposed
before you is whether or not it promotes
the general welfare. To you who are
here assembled has been delegated a
great opportunity. I feel sure that you
will not miss it in the consideration
of trivial and self seeking proposals.
You have the opportunity to carry out
a large constructive, statesmanlike pro-
granl-one which will lay the founda-
ton for increased growth during many
wears to come. Some features of such
a program so far as they relate to the

PRIVATE THOMAS DOESN'T LIKE
THE "CooNs' IN VIRGINIA
COAST CITY

Private Edward G. Thomas, formerly
of Lucille, but. who now is in the army

Virginia seaport town, and the many
negroes he encounters there, he writes
to the Free Press. His letter follows:
Camp Casino, Va.
Dec. 30, 1918.
Dear Editor:
thought I would write you little
dope to put in the Free Press about
the camp and it's surroundings. My
home is at Lucille, Idaho, down on the
big Salmon river and we always thought
that was a tough little country, but
Newport News, Va. is so much tougher
than old Salmon that the river wouldn t
be in it at all.
A few days ago down here on the
beach negro girl, l should judge about
is or 10 years of age, was found on the
sand with her throat cut from ear to
ear, and this morning, as l was going
along the Chesapeake bay with my
camera taking pictures of transports,
came across negro man who had been
knocked in the head and had been
thrown in the bay. The tide washed
him ashore and to tell the truth the man
has been lying there all day and the
water slashing up on his feet. His face
is about washed under with sand and
they are not making any arrangements
to take care of the body. The body of
the negro girl has been lying on the
sand for four days and is still lying
there.
think this place has got any place
beaten that 1 have ever seen. The
town is dirty at all times and the
smell is something awful. We are now
doing guard duty on the pier here and
we surely have to watch the coons. I
wish you would put this in the Free
Press. 1t is the honest God Is fact be- /
cause I saw it with my own eyes and
please send me copy of the paper you
put it in. 1 remain,
Your soldier friend,
Private Edward G. Thomas.

minority, sort of little theatre move
ment, so that, on the understanding of
its being over the heads of the movie
public, the disdained movie might be-
come sort of shibbolcth for the elite

In that case, one of two things would

learn something about pictures and re-
turn to earth as a solid, organized sup
port, instructed and instructng, to
back those better things which the
