IT IS The PEOPLES JOB
Reasons Why We Must Fully Sub
scribe to Victory Liberty Loan.
II Left to Banks Alone They Could
Not Meet Commercial Needs
Of Country.

MONEY ALREADY SPENT. To
pay it's bills, fulfill It's contracts, bring
home our boys and otherwise finish
the job, the United States Government.
MUST have billions of dollars more
than can be realized from taxation.
BY April list it will have spent prac-
tically $6,000,o 0o, 900, borrowed on
short-time certificates Of indebtedness
in anticipation Of the Victory Loan.
POPULAR LOAN THE ONLY WAY.
There is just n way in which the
treasury department can get this great
sum of money. That is by borrowing
it from the people of this country. IN
thinking or disloyal people have said
that the banks wore going to subscribe
this loan. Stop and think what that
would mean. II the banks could and
did loan the Government $4,000, 000,-
600, 1t would require the investment
Tin non-negotiable securities) Of every
cent of money at their command. Re-
sult-They would have no money to
loan to commercial customers. How
long could the business of the country
be conducted without borrowed CAPT
tall If the banks took the Victory
Loan, business would be stagnated.
Failures and all the suffering and ca
~tastrophies Of a panic would follow.
No. The Victory Liberty Loan MUST
be subscribed by the VERY GREAT
EST POSSIBLE NUMBER OF PEG
Pile from their savings.
A GOOD INVESTMENT. The Wc-
tory Liberty Loan will furnish another
fine investment opportunity to the peo-
pie. Uncle Sam isn't asking us to give
him anything. He is only asking us to
invest in the worlds safest securities.
and for the use of the money he is
preparing to pay us the most liberal
interest consistent with good bust
ness. The non-investing classes have
never before had so remarkable a
chance to proftably and safely invest
their money.
PATRIOTISM DEMANDS VICTORY
LIBERTY LOAN SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Loyalty to America demands that
every man, woman or child who is able
buy Victory Liberty Loan securities
TO THE LIMIT.
The victorious Fifth" will test tho
peace-time patriotism of America.
Is the patriotism, which SO largely
entered into the remarkable OVERSIZE
scriptions of the four previous loans,
a garment our people put on for eigh-
teen months and then cast aside?
We have unshakable faith that pa.
triotism is an abiding force in every
American heart. We predict that it
will prompt the same generous, sacri-
ficing efforts that gave u people pre-
eminence during the days of fighting.
The war was a job wished" on us by
the boche, but it was our job. The
fighting part of the job is done. Our
honored dead and our victorious re-
turning troops are evidence Of the
thoroughness with which that part Of
the job was done.
Now, in order that our heroes may
not have died In vain," we MUST FIN
ISH THE JOB, PAY OUR DEBTS,
and leave the Government free to
carry on its financial program through
ordinary means.

WHY DID AMERICA DECLARE
WAR AGAINST GERMANY.

Probably the gravest mistake made
by the president in his Boston address
was the statement in so many words,
that I'VE" sent our men to war to
place them at the disposal of the Eu-
ropeans who were fighting for their
homes and their common cause. 1t
Is almost unthinkable that the pres
ent leader of the American people. by
virtue of his election to the presidency
should SO outline the purpose for
which we went to war. When men
are sent to war they go because their
country has been attacked. They go
to protect their own homes and "out
there in the darkness of the night
amid the bursting shells and desola-
ton they fight for one thing; to kill
their enemy. Ask any returning SOL
der why the United States went to
war with Germany. The answer will
be because Germany had insulted the
American people. She had killed Am
orleans without cause or excuse. She
had wronged and angered the Ameri-
can people to point where they were
forced to fight to the death. 1t was
to end forever the German menace to
America that our soldiers and sailors
| fought and died And why, Mr.. Presi-
dent, should 1t mean that the Ameri-
can people intend to leave to their
own fate the suffering people of Eu-
rope, just because they do not agree
with your proposed constitution for a
league of nations?

the primary. but comparison Of the
two systems lis decidedly favorable to
the convention and 1t certainly gives
the man OF moderate means who has
political ambitions a more equal
chance and therefore makes the can
didates elected more representative Of
the people.
Experience has proved that the nom
partisan judiciary is nothing more
than political camouflage. Candidates
for judicial positions are human and
nave their political convictions and
party affiliations the same as the or
binary run of men. Their political at
titude Is known when they become
candidates, and while the nonpartisan
law generally prevented them from
indulging in political activity, 1t did
not prevent voters from exercising
their choice on political lines. No
man worthy of holding judicial posi-
ton is going to permit his political
affiliation to govern his decisions. 1t
matters not whether he is elected as a
partisan or nonpartisan. Under these
circumstances there Is nothing gain
name and the legislature did well in
aboishing It.

n. r. SAMUElS LANDS A GOVERN
MENT JOB.

A few weeks ago H. F. Samuels
quietly dropped into Wallace and as
quietly dropped out again. Even our
esteemed and enterprising morning
contemporary, which specializes in
the coming and going of people worth
while, failed to note the visit of this
former prominent citizen and erst-
while democratic candidate for gov
ernor. Subsequent events appear to
throw some light on this seeming
oversight. A Washington dispatch
last Saturday conveyed the informa-
ton that this same H. F. Samuels had
been appointed special representa-
tive of the department of labor, his
mission being to visit various coun-
tries of Europe for the purpose of
gathering labor statistics and in gen
eral preparing a report on labor con-
ditions abroad. That Mr.. Samuels
found it necessary to secure strong en-
dorsements from representative demo-
Gratis in Idaho goes without saying.
Where could he find these with great
err influence than in Shoshone county?
Here is the headquarters of the chair
man of the democratic state commit
tee, also the home of his brother who
is credited with close touch with the
national administration. What more
natural than for Mr.. Samuels to quiet
ly come to his old home county to re-
eeive the seal OF approval from those
who know him best and who are the
chiefs in the councils of his party?
And if this was the purpose of his
visit, what more natural than that the
Day daily should fail to record his
visit?.
But in any event, it is evident that
Mr. Samuels, the defeated democratic
league candidate for gov
ernor, satisfied the powers that be in
Washington that he was entitled to a
consolation prize at the hands Of the
recognition that
would serve to line UP the nonparti-
san league for the democratic ticket
in Idaho next year. But 1t Is an aw-
full price to pay for political support.

REPUBLICANS MAKE UP DEMO.
CRATIC DEFICIENCY.

Moses Alexander was elected first
upon his specious promise to save a
million dollars a year in the admins
tration of the affairs of the state Long
before the completion of his term
there were none so blind that they
could not see that the people had been
by the tricks of mounte-
bank. However Alexander managed
to retain control of the democratic
machine and was again made the can
didate for governor. The explosion
OF his million year saving bubble
made it necessary for him to devise
some new artitce through which to
buneoe the people, 1t SO happened
that one higher up was caught in the
same predicament and in whose be-
half was invented the rallying cry,
He kept us out of war" The value
1f this was quickly grasped by Alex
,ndef and he again succeeded in foist-
ng himself upon the state for two
more years through false and who'll
y fictitious issue. though by a margin
10 small that 1t could possibly have
'een wiped out by a recount. And
low the people Of Idaho are favored
