VIE M THAT DOOR TO RICHES WON I
 OPEN ERRONEOUS
MORE OPPORTUNITIES NOW FOR YOUNG MEN THAN EVER
 IN NATIONS HISTORY.
U. s. TREASURY IS HELPING


 There is not the chance for the young man today that there was in "the good old days"
 Ever since this grand old world in which we live began to take on great ness the above has been favorite ex- pression. And with many of us it will continue. But the statement was erroneous when it was first uttered, and it is erroneous today.
 Ever since that fateful day back in 1914, when this country was swelter- ing beneath an August sun-the day that the now poor and despised out cast in Holland was kow-towed to as ! the All Highest, and was obsessed with the idea of partnership between himself and the Almighty that existed . only in Wilhelms diseased brain, there have been opportunities for the foundations of fortunes such as the world in all former times never knew.
 But, just as in former times, the multitude is content with talking about the high cross of living, hurling futile epithets at the profiteers and the would-be profiteers, and spending their money as rapidly as they can make it, and never needing the calls of fortune that are knocking daily at their door.
 Just how many men can be as thoughtless as they are under the circumstances Is beyond the compre- hension of some students who have given deep thought to the present financial status.
 Of course some are struggling des- perately hard to lay up riches. Some are investing their money In oil stocks that promise fabulous returns. The promises of the "get-ricb-Quick gang" that were spread over the United States decade ago are being revised and brought up to date, and the saying of the homely philosopher that "a sucker is born every minute" is being exemplffied
 But, and let it be said in honor of that large number of Americans who do not belong to the class of gullibles, there is large and rapidly increasing group of men and women, and even children, who are laying foundations for real wealth, and who are helping not only themselves but their country And these are taking no risks, either. They have the promise, the official promise of the United States govern ment, the government that never has broken promise, and whose stability and strength brought peace when all the world seemed bent on destruction, that every cent they invest will not only be returned to them, but it will be returned with interest that will make 1t worth while.
 There are no fervid appeals to the imagination being printed and dis seminated in the safe plans presented by the United States government There is no appeal to ones patriotism nor to his emotions. It is just plain, matter Of fact business proposition, and the hardest headed banker or the greatest financier of this or any other land will tell anyone who asks him | that there is never chance to lose. Tn the hands of the investment agencies in any of the financial c>a- ters today one may buy Liberty Bonds. of almost any issne. st 2 discount.

and without the sanction and support
OF this great power candidates for
state or judicial offices could not be
elected. Johnson, first as counsel for
interests opposing the railroad corpo-
ration and later as governor, waged
bitter and unremitting warfare against
railroad domination. His final victory
was a potent factor In his election to
the senate in 1916. Johnson Is Re-
publican, but generally regarded as
one of the radical type. He has, like
Poindexter, strongly opposed the
League of Nations.
Senator William D. Borah of Idaho
does not differ greatly in the degree of
his achievements from the two other
westerners. Born in Wayne county,
| ILL.,, Borah was educated In the COM
mon schools of that state and at Kan
sas State University. He was admit
ted to the bar in 1890 and devoted his
time to legal practice until his election
to the senate In 1907. Borah Is one of
the most active figures in the United
States senate. His efforts largely have
been directed toward the proper de-
velopment of the great natural re.
sources of the country, especially OF
the West. He is known as a progress
sive Republican, fearless in fighting
for what he believes to be right and.
like the others included in this presi-
Dental group, has opposed from the
start the League of Nations covenant.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific
Coast is long jump for national poll
tics to take. However, all precedents
both in business and politics, seem to
be vanishing in these days of remark
able readjustments, and the old theor.
that a Presidential candidate mus
necessarily come from east of the Mis-
sissippi is no longer tenable.

SEED GRADING
MEETINGS
SEPT. 80
State Seed Commissioner
Sheehan to Demonstrate
Auspices Farm Bureau.

Meeting Be Held Cottonwood
The Goth; Large Atten-
dance Predicted.

Through the office of County Agent
John Finley, of the Idaho County
Farm Bureau, announcement Is made
this week to the effect that b. f.
Sheehan, state seed commissioner and
agronomy specialist for the Univer-
sity Extension Service, will hold two
grain grading demonstrations in this
county the latter part of the month
The announcement in part says:
THE first meeting will be held
Monday, September Goth, at ZOO p.
NJ. at Cottonwood. The other on
September Both, at 200 p. NJ, at
Grangeville.
THE object of these meetings is to
demonstrate to the farmers, the
proper way Of grading grain and to
show how and why the different docks
are made.
There is no doubt but what grain
grading has come to stay. The days
of penalizing farmer for raising
good wheat are past, providing the
grading is properly done Every farm.
er should he in position to grade
his own grain as well as to know when
it is being properly graded. Armed
with this information every farmer
knows the market value of his pro-
duct, and will be able to go on to the
market and intelligently sell to the
highest bidder and know whether he
is getting premium or its face value.
Remember the dates-C Cottonwood.

vOrable attention by his judicial abili-
ty. In 1908 PoindeXter was elected as
a representative from the state Of
Washington to the Sixty-frst Congress
He soon became known as an able, pro
gressive Republican. In the senate, to
which he Tas elevated In 1910, he was
a staunch advocate of measures favor
ing the control and, restriction of big
corporations, especially of the rail-
roads He sought the conservation of
all natural resources of the country,
including water power, coal and oil
lands Before the war he stood strong
ly for preparedness, and later he Wig
orOusly supported all measures of the
administration for the protection of
American rights. He advocated throw
ing the whole power OF the nation into
the successful prosecution of the war.
Mr. Poindexter believes that Bolshe-
vism and all other movements destruc-
tive Of representative government and
national spirit should be strongly tax
en- in hand and that leaders in at
tempts to overthrow our institutions
should be severely punished He is
opposed to any scheme for creating q
hybrid government of the world where
by Europe and Asia, in his opinion
would inevitably dominate this country
and control its policies.

WILL 1T CAPTURE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN 1920?

! ~The political center of gravity in
the nation has shifted to the
states that lie between the Mississippi
River and the Pacific Coast. New
York Times editorial.
This opinion is typical of an idea
which is rapidly spreading throughout
the country. There is a feeling that
''the West Is In the saddle for the
presidential nomination In 1920"
The fact that the West decided the
last presidential election has made it
q potent factor In future calculations.
Moreover, the politicians know that In
case the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment does not become operative
in time for the next national election
there are, nevertheless, 16 states west
of the Mississippi which have already
given their women the franchise, add
ing an increment of some six million
tion one way or the other. Hence, the
Republican leaders of the East as well
as of the West are seriously consider
ing whether it would not be good poll
tics to take a western candidate.
1t is significant that three of the
most generally talked about presiden-
tial possibilities for 1920 come from
the Far West. They are United States
Senators Poindexter, Borah and John
son.
The first mentioned, about whom
considerable discussion. is now center
Ing, is from the state of Washington
Though a native of Tennessee and
graduate of a Virginia university

Paul Vincent, on L. S. S. Vicksburg
Has Left Juneau, Alaska.

Mrs. Israel Harris is in receipt of

U. S. S. Vicksburg, and stationed at
Juneau, Alaska, for some time past
where they were doing patrol duty
and looking after the fishing indus

United States. The vessel was to be
dry docked for repairs and would
later join her division for duty in
southern waters.
