TELLS TRUTH TO GERMANS.
Eduard Bernstein in the Vorwaert
breaches to the German people from
a text radically different from tina
which has usually been employed b.
all other counselors. He tells then
not only that they have been van
quished, but that they have beer
vanquished in a war for which they
are morally responsible He tells
them, moreover, that the war for
which they are morally responsible
has inflicted Unreasonable injury on
their conquerors. What lesson this
inculcates, and is meant to inculcate,
is obvious. The German people are
given to understand that if heavy
terms of peace are laid upon them, it
is because only heavy terms of peace
can in any way redress the wrongs
that are chargeable to them. Such
preachment may not be pleasant to
those for whom it is meant, but it is
infinitely wiser than those which
were designed to delude them into
imagining that they were to be made
the victims of crushing injustice.
Of course, those who cried out in adj
vance against the injustice of the
peace terms intended that their out
cries should be taken as a warning
by the peace conference, but the
effect of them has been to generate a
spirit of rebellion against the treaty.
Bernstein's counsel is designed to
counteract the OBJECT of that suicidal
polcy.-Lewiston Tribune.

Another strike that failed is re-
ported from Colfax All of the teach
ers in the Colfax high school struck !
for higher salaries and all were fired |
and new corps of teachers will be
employed. The school board "stood
pat" on it's proposition to increase
salaries to an average of $127 per
month, for 20 days work of six hours
each, making the teachers the highest
paid class in Whitman county. But
they, like the bolshevist shipyard
workers of Seattle, who were getting
1896 per day of eight hours and
struck for So, were not satisfied. AS
The teachers work but six hours day
and five days in the week and four
weeks in the month go days being a
'chool month"; which makes 120 hours
month, they would get considerably
more than 81 per hour for time actu-
lily engaged in teaching, at the sal
Iries offered by the school board
hey struck for $1.25 per hour. Many
f them, if taken out of the school
DOM could not earn so cents an hour
t any other kind of work

Another road that needs immedi-
tie attention is that running to the
Washington Idaho line. Latah coun-
' should improve this road, which
not in bad condition, but good
bad on this side of the state line
ould call attention of visitors from
to the fact that they had
'ossed the state line and they would
3te the difference. 1t would force
'hitman county to improve this much
aveled road, or it would cast a stig-
a on that county which would re-
'und TO the credit of Latah county
ID the state of Idaho. 1t would not
st much to do this and the good
suits to be gained would more than
y for it. II
The editorial in Fridays Star Mir
r urging that the road to Moscow
,untains be one of the first in the
oscow district to be macadamized,
S met with much approval from
rmers and residents of Moscow, who
,ognize the need of better roads
one of the finest summer resorts
d picnic grounds in the Palouse
lntry. Macadamize the road and
m do little systematic advertis-
!, and see the string of visitors
ne pouring in from every direc-
n on Sundays. 1t will pay.
