LET THEM KNOW WE CARE.

Throughout the country our soldiers
are making their way to their home
towns And complaints are made thai
in many places they are received with
little enthusiasm.
We do not believe that the lack OF
enthusiasm comes from any lack OF
feelings. These young men have risked
expressing their emotions. The Ameri-
can youth is trained to repression and
self-control and the result of this
training remains with the adult.
Put when soldiers come home is the
time, if ever, to give expression to our
feelings. These young men have risked
everything in the service of their
country. They have endured discom-
fort and suffering and peril for our
protection. They come with the stripes
of honorable service and honorable
discharge upon their sleeves.
Let us greet them with the heartiesi
Of welcomes. The small town cannot
give its returning heroes triumphial
arches and wonderful music and great
pa,ades. The more need that we should
show them the depth of our feeling,
our enduring pride in them, and our
Joy in their return. Let the time of
their Homecoming be a time that they
will always remember with satisfaction
and happiness.

The Cemetery Flowers.

Report comes from several sources
that flowers and Towering plants have
been disturbed and destroyed recent.
ly in the Nezperce cemetery. Surely
the party or parties committing this
vandalism did it through thoughtless-
ness or they are suffering from de-
pravity which needs attention. Rela-
tives and friends of the departed find
consolation, measure of solace, in
the expression of their feelings through
flowers placed upon the last earthly
abiding place of those who are sleep
ing the eternal sleep, and those who
would remove this small comfort by
destroying such flowers are certainly
without ordinary human pity. Please
don It repeat the offense.

w. q. T. q Column.

In discussing the Million Dollar Jubi
lee Fund, 100000 of which will be
used to promote World Prohibition,
many have asked "why should we, in
the United States, work for prohibition
in Other countries'" One great reason
why, is revealed by Mark R. Shaw
Secretary of the Intercollegiate Prohi
bition Association, in his report on
Americas Liquor Expectation. Fol
lowing are some extracts from this re-
port:
Statistics show an enormous increase
in the amount of liquor exported during
the war. The figures jumped from
479,314 gallons in 1914 to 26,2S3,9 04
in 1916, and to 50,430,410 gallons in
1917. There are two factors that may
help to account for this: 1. The fact
that production in some other countries

BORAH'S HOUSE TUMBLES.

One of the best illustrations of how
quick public official may cause his
own downfall is to be seen in Senator
Borah, of Idaho, through his stand
against the league of nations. Only
last fall Mr.. Borah was without doubt
the most popular man in the state.
Today he is, without doubt with pos
sibly one exception, being condemned
more than any man in the state Last
ing majority. Today, if an election
fall he was elected by an overwhelm-
was held, he would probably be de-
feated by a very decisive vote. Why's
Because of the stand he has taken on
this one question, and while bitterly
opposing it, offers nothing else in its
place, and his opposition to it is not
based on good, sound logic, according
to many of our best political students.
In fact, it is believed by many that
Senator Borah' 8 opposition to the
league is more on account of his oppo-
sition and prejudice against President
Wilson and ex-President Taft than it
is because he is actually opposed to
the league. Some have been so I'M
kind to the senator as to suggest that
since the death of Ex-President Roose
Welt, he has felt called upon to take
his place in leading an opposition to
President Wilson, no matter whether
he was right or wrong. This may have
been brought to his attention on ac-
count Of some few newspapers having

Barber Shop Changes.

G. J. Miller on Tuesday evening
bought the barber business, furniture
and fixtures of Ernest E. Thomas
whose shop is located in the Nezperce
Hotel. Mr.. Miller states that he is not
going into the barber business, but has
a nephew coming home from the war
pretty soon who will be looking for
a job and he wants to have it ready
for him. Mr.. Thomas will sell his
household effects at public auction on
May 10, and just what his plans will
be after that he is not yet prepared
to state.

the matter seriously when the papers

that as leader he was not in Presi-

only joking. He viii also realize thai

THE GREATEST THING IN THE
WORLD.

To the mind of the writer there i
no achievement in the compass of mai
which surpasses that of leaving t.
ones succeeding generation son O
daughter of good, wholesome character
and with the ability to meet life's re
quirements, great or small, honestly
intelligently and happily.
In this connection, we are constrain
ed to quote the following extracts from
paper on "Juvenile Delinquency
recently read by Probate Judge Wool
flen, of Nez Perez county, before The
People IS Open Forum at Lewiston.
Home environment has much to dc
with the shaping of the child dis
position and morals. Many child
has gone to its parents with some
question which if properly answered
would have satisfied the child IS curl
osity or craving for knowledge, but
instead of receiving the proper reply,
has been reprimanded for asking the
question. Curiosity was thus aroused
and the child has gone to some other
person for the information and been
sadly misled.
Parents, take your children into
your condolences; make them feel that
yon are interested in all that they say
and do and the average child will not
disappoint you.
Gin recent years great deal has
been done for our boys, among which
is the Boy Scout movement, and the
boy who wears the uniform is made
to feel that he must uphold the honor
of the flag and uniform and it is a
rare thing for q Boy Scout to come
before the juvenile court. But what
of our girls'
1T is an every day and almost
nightly occurrence to see girls rang
ing in age from 12 to 16 years, roam
ing about town, on the streets, or JOY
ridings and when reported to their
parents, quite often they will take
side with the child or else are indif-
ferent. That child eventually becomes
a delinquent and contend that the
fault lies with the parent.
Make the home a home in the full |
sense of the word; not just house to |
i've in, and above all do not nag the |
child for every little shortcoming, |
point out the error, recommend the
proper way and forget to scold
"The average healthy child must be
allowed certain amount of recreation
or pleasure and if denied this will |
steal away and the parents know moth,
ng about it until the child is in troub-
e and then they wonder how it oc-
,urred.
As final word to parents or
guardians, 'As the twig is bent so
grows the tree.' If you do not watch
md train the child you are lax in
your stewardship for which grief and
leartache will be the result
