IF THE PUBLIC is TO BE THE
BOSS.

The Abbeville Press and Banner, a
newspaper in which one may always
expect to find something suggestive,
makes the point, commenting on the
demand of railroad shopment for an
increase of wages of about 20 cents
n hour, that while the railroads are
operated by the government, the
question is one which the public
should have hand in deciding. When
the demand is of a private company
for an increase of wages, the strike
has been the resort to enforce it and
the strikers usually have looked to
the public for support and, as rule,
have received it. If the public owns
and operates railroad company, iil-
crease in wages must, in the long run,
be paid by a proportionate increase
in passenger and freight rates;
Hence, when higher wages are asked
for, it will be Tor the people them
selves to say whether or not they
shall be granted.
To put the matter as plainly
possible, let-us suppose that the
street car employees on lines owned
by a city demanded that their wages
be raised thirty or fifty per cent. and
that the pepole knew that the grant
ing of the demand would require the
raising of fares, now five, to seven
cents, what would the people do
about it? Were it submitted to them
in primary election" or plebiscite,
would they vote for seven cent fraes?
Street car companies have no other
source of revenues than passenger
fares.
In other words, as our ADbeVllle
friend suggests, so long as the trans
portation industry is in the hands 7o1
private companies the parties to
contest about wages are three, thu
laborers, the company and the public

have fought we'll, and they have been
in some of the bloodiest fighting of
the whole war. They helped break
the Hindenburg line, and to put the
enemy to flight. They were a part
of the fighting force which gave the
Germans the Knockout blow. They
did mighty well. But there were
others who fought as we'll as they,
there were other South Caroliniars
who made the same sacrifices which
these men of the Stars and Stripes
made. There are others who were at
the front, where duty placed them,
who did not see so much fighting, and
there were still others who did not
see active service, but who took their
turn when they were called.
1t is not intended, we take it, to
exalt the men of the Thirtieth over
any of the other patriotic young men
mentioned above, as some might at
first think. We do not intend to
honor the men of the Thirtieth more
than the others, but in paying honor
to them we seek to honor all the
brave men of the State who were
ready to make the supreme sacrifice
for their country. The coming OF
the Thirtieth only furnishes the oc-
cation when we will undertake to,
show our gratitude, not to the men of
that division alone, but to all the
soldier boys of this state for the he
roic parts they have taken, the sac
rifces they have ma ade, and the will
lingness with which they took up
arms for their country.
The Thirtieth represents the or
ganized South Carolina fighting men
before the war, and it's members
were the first to get Unto the fray.
There is no other Division which has
men of the State who went into the
war as a State organization, so to
speak. Therefore, the men OF the
11sth Regiment of this division more
nearly represent the State than any
other regiment or division. In honor
ing them then we honor the fighting
spirit and manly qualities Of all our
soldiers.
We, hope, therefore, that the people
will dismiss the idea that the people
of the state think more Of these
brave young men than Of the hun
ireds Of others equally as brave. Let
all Of US join in paying an Of the
men Of South Carolina just homage
on the, happy occasion Of the arrival
Of the men of the Thirtieth whom
we all love, and of whom every loyal
heart is proud. Let US lift our hats
10 all the men who wore the coun-
rvs uniform.

are by these enormous taxes, and
shall our Allies have to carry their
still heavier burdens, or shall the
load be shifted on to the nation Of
criminals who joyously entered upon
the war for the express purpose of
conquering and looting the world?
Germany's aggressive war, long
planned, was for it's own enrichment
by compelling the world to pay the
full cost of the war to Germany and
then adding an enormous indemnity
to that. Secretary McAdoo, speaking
officially as the head of the Treasury
Department, and evidently with the
entire approval of, President Wilson,
repeatedly said as he pleaded for
bond subscriptions that if Germany
should win it would require an in
demnity of at least S120,O00,000,000
from America, or half of our total
wealth, and yet we were not the ag-
gressors in the war.
As far as the people of America
have been able to learn, judged by
rumors and reports which have never
been denied, President Wilson has
been antagonizing the efforts of Eng
land and France to put the cost of
the war upon Germany. Is that true?
If not, it is entirely feasible for Mr..
Wilson to create great enthusiasm
throughout this country and the
countries of our Allies by taking the
position that he will do all in his
power to put the burden of this cost
upon Germany, even though it should
take that country 100 years to free
itself from the Indebtedness due to
it's accursed work.
The people who are working for
League of Nations are holding
meetings all over the land proclaim
ing that the formation of the League
is essential to world salvation, but
they are entirely forgetting to say
that Germany must be made to pay
a penalty for its crimes in the shape
of carrying the burden of the worlds
war Indebtedness.
In concentrating the thought Of
the people upon a League Of Nations
rather than upon an indemnity from
Germany they are doing exactly what
Germany desires to be done. They
are turning the public thought away
from Germany's criminality and Ger
many's responsibility to the question
of League of Nations and so con-
centrating the public thought upon
that issue that there is danger that
the matter may be entirely forgotten
and that Germany may thus 60 prac-
tically scot free 50 far as being made
to pay the cost of this war which we
and other nations, united in defense
of civilization, are now carrying.
While public meetings are being
held to discuss a League of Nations
let US have some public meetings of
taxpayers and business men gener-
ally to proclaim. that Germany shall
be made to pay. Let the public voice
be heard against Germany; let us
arouse the country to the tremen-
dous issue as to whether this coun-
try shall 60 on paying for genera
tions to come the enormous taxation
of the present, or whether we shall
shift a portion of that burden upon
the looters who sought to capture the
world. If the voice of the country

CHARLES HENRY HELPS
THE BOYS IN FRANCE

A letter was received recently by
B. M. Schick of Palouse from Charles
Henry, formerly superintendent of
schools at this place, who is now in
France engaged in educational work.
Mr.. Henry went across the pond early
last summer. He is in charge of the
educational work in section which,
at the time the letter was written,
contains some 10000 men. Schools
for special lines of training were es-
tablished at different points under
his direction and he found the work
most interesting.
Mr. Henry urges that none of the
benefits to humanity gained by the
war be lost in America by electing to
office, or placing in any public posi-
ton, men other than those of un-
questioned Americanism. He also
sounds note of warning in regard
to the bolshevist element, the work
of which he has been in a position to
appraise while in Europe.
The former Moscow educator, his
many friends will be glad to know,
expects to return to America some
time during the summer.

opens April 21. Organizations have
already been formed by the soldiers
in some other sections of the state
and the effects of their sturdy patriot
ism, and youthful enthusiasm, coupled
with the fact that they were willing
to give more than money toward win
ming the war. will have its effect on
the campaign.
Chairman Morgareidge of the local
Victory loan committee will leave for
Boise, Friday to attend a meeting of
the state organization on Saturday, at
which time plans will be formulated

held at the council of defense rooms
this evening at 7:30, to make initial
plans for the campaign in this coun-

DON'T LET HERO
BUSINESS GET STALE

NEW YORK, March 24.-Lieuten-
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, in an
address here today at an entertain

service men on obtaining their dis
charge not to let "the hero business
get stale" before seeking a job.
Colonel Rooselevt declared he felt
certain that all the men who had
served overseas had returned deter
mined to put into life a manliness
and honor and with the armies now
being disbanded, it was their chance
e1 apply these attributes to their
everyday affairs. He also urged the
men to take an interest in politics,
of the party they favored.
The address was the second made
by the oldest son of the late Colonel
Roosevelt within week. A speech
which he delivered at meeting of
The republican county committee here
last Thursday so impressed repub-
ican leaders in this city that they
are reported to be considering nomi-
mating him next fall as the party's

yoting his time to aiding in organiza-
ion in this country of a veterans
association of the world war.

|LATAH BOY HAS
FINE WAR RECORD
WALTER HORNBY ENLISTED TO
FIGHT HUNS IN 1914-SERVED
THROUGH WAR

Lieutenant Walter Horribly of Har-
ward, who just returned from France,
holds the record for Latah county, if
not for the Inland Empire, in the
length of time in service during the
recent world war. The young man is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. N. Hornby
who live on a farm near Harvard.
In the spring of. 1913, when he was
% years old, he went to the Peace
River country in British Columbia to
farm. In the fall of 1914, within a
few weeks after war had broken out,
he enlisted in the Canadian army at
Calgary and the following spring was
sent across to France, where he was
in active service at the front practi-
cally all of the time for three and
one-half years. He was in many of
the heaviest engagements of the war,
among which was the battle of Vimey
Ridge, where the Canadian troops
made such heroic sacrifices.
On four occasions his name appear
ed in the casualty lists, but in each
case he made a quick recovery from
his injuries and was soon back at the
front. He was given a lieutenant's
commission in 1916. When the armis-
tice was signed he was taking
course in aviation in London. His
company landed in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, March 1, and was from there
sent to Calgary, where the men were
given their discharge and Hornby at
once came to his home in Latah coun-
by to see his parents, whom he had
left in 1913.

the excellent care brought the fol-
lowing prices: One COW sold for Sill,
another COW S102 and two-year-old
heifer 70. A team and harness
brought $377. one horse S175, the
other horse $152 and the harness $50.

their farm, which they had had home
steaded and where they had lived for
many years, expect soon to make a

Norway, that they left so years ago.

FARM BUREAU WORK
IN NORTHERN LATAH
FARMERS IN DAILY DISTRICT
ORGANIZE TO FIGHT SOURI,
RELS AND WEEDS

On Thursday of last week the farm
bureau members and other farmers
|of the Daily community met at the
Daily school house with County Agent
o. S. Fletcher to- plan the farm bureau
work of that community for the COM
ing season. Much time was spent in
discussing the needs Of the commun-
ity and in laying plans for the year.
Lines of work we're selected and a
community organization perfected.
The projects selected were squirrel
control, wheat standardization, weed
control, and farm labor
w. K Whitaker was elected COM
munity chairman, and project lead
ers were elected as follows: Squirrel
control, w. w. Davis; wheat stand
ardization, Lester Wolheter; weed
control, John Kamm; farm labor, Har-
ry Daily. These men make up the
community committee and will take
the lead in farm bureau work for the
year.
AS leader of the squirrel control
project, Mr.. Davis called commun-
ity meeting for Tuesday, March 25, to
help everyone prepare poison so that
an early attack will be made on squir-
re1s in that community Other pro-
jects will be taken up in season.

ed. 1t is probable that the eight-hou1
day will become the standard, but
some classes of labor demand a 40
hour week, which is less than a seven
hour day If the working day is
shortened to such a degree, produc-
tion will be reduced and a days
wages, no matter what it may be in
dollars and cents, will buy less of the
necessaries of life, because the total
production of real wealth will be re-
duced
Labor should study what is best for
itself, and the most important thing
is what should constitute a days
work. One way of arriving at this is
for each workman to consider what
he would do if working for himself
If he had little workshop or farm
of his own, how many hours a day
would be work? If he worked too
long and too hard he would wear him
self out too soon. If he did not put
in a good days work regularly he
would have to get along with less good
food, clothing and entertainment. If
the individual workman can decide
what he would do for himself, he will
arrive at what he should do when
working for another. No industrious
gardener or cobbler working for him
self would call it day after work
ing less than seven hours This point
Of view is worth taking.
