Chief interest centered around an
amendment designed to reduce repre-

amendment developed during the aft

An example of the effect of the
amendment was cited when it was
shown that the reduced number pro-

U. S. ATTORNEY M'CLEAR

TO SECURE FULL PARDON

Through the assistance Of United
States Attorney ]. L. McClear, John
Noes, of Newport, Idaho, sentenced to
Is months imprisonment for violation
Of the espionage act. has been par
doned by President Wilson.
A statement in the Statesman that
Attorney McClear says he was firmly
convinced at the time Of conviction of
Noes that an injustice had been
DONE" is repudiated by him. After
several months had passed and Noes
incarcerated in prison, Mr.. McClear
learned that the evidence had been
Matched as result of neighborhood
quarrels. He investigated the matter
and found it so. He then took up the
subject of a pardon or parole with the
president of the board of parole. stat
Ing that the man had been convicted
on very meager evidence, that there
was evidence of neighborhood quar-
rels in the matter and that he could
not believe the man was dangerous to
the country. He requested that the
case be given an investigation. This
was done and Mr.. McClear's state
ments corroborated. Mr.. McClear
wishes 1t understood that II he had
been convinced that an injustice was
being done Noes at the time of the
trial he would never have prosecuted
him.

also because there will be many individual
cases where the enforcement of the law
will seem to work undue hardship But
the situation is here and must be met, and
as the Post declares, if successfully, with
courage and common sense.
And after all, is not this the secret for
successfully meeting and overcoming any
unhappy or unfortunate situation, whether
it be public menace or private worryg
1t may be the family which is maintaining
a social standard which involves too great
expenditure, or it may be the town run by
a lot of dishonest politicians, or it may be
the individual undermining health and
character by bad habit. Courage and
common sense will right the wrong. Weak
compromise, foolish short sightedness, or
inability to recognize the danger and dis
pose of it summarily are the things
which allow anarchy and Bolshevism and
all uncleanness to wax fat.

No Truce for Flies.

TT is high time now to resume active
campaigning against the filth and dis
u ease-carrying house fly. In one city
which has been fighting flies for several
years with good results, the authorities
have made flyless markets their chief aim
for the coming summer. Right now they
are busily shooting powder guaranteed to-
kill young flies into every nook and Granny
which might serve as nest OF winter hiding
place.
It should be hint to citizens of this
community. Grocery stores, meat mar
kets, private houses, restaurants and ice
cream parlors might set out now to rid
themselves of flies during the coming sea-
son.. Door and window screens should be
repaired or renewed. The proper disposal
of garbage and rubbish should be provided
for. Every kind of food not in sealed con-
tainers should be kept covered by fine
screens or glass. Breeding places should
be eliminated. And before, after and
through all this preventive action the swat
ter should be kept close at hand and used
constantly with firm stroke and sure aim.
Marked success has followed the anti-fly
efforts of many communities. There is,
therefore, all the more disgrace for the
community that remains indifferent to this
pest.

Sensible Saving.

77HE near approach of spring house.
cleaning days gives new emphasis
u to the need for thrift. Much that
housekeepers learned in the war about wise
saving and conservation has been thrown
to the winds with the coming Of peace. The
salvage bureau Of the New England war
savings division is now urging housekeep-
ers to convert so-called waste into sound
investment through thrift and war savings
stamps.
Among the things the women are asked
not to consign to the rubbish heap or the
backyard bonfire are newspapers and old
magazines, fiber cartons and paper boxes
The bureau says, From ton of waste pa
per we can get 1900 pounds of new paper. :"
Old rags, too can be cleaned and made into
paper.
Junk has ceased to be fit material for
ruthless throwing away. If the Individual
housewife cannot sell to advantage the
small amount of junk collected in her own
household, she can add it to the junk of
other members Of the community and the
whole can be sold to the salvage depart
ment
Nobody is asked to hoard these useless
articles and to clutter up otherwise eff
clent housekeeping arrangements by a
complicated handling of cast-off material.
Surely the war has taught the folly of petty
scrimping and the saving that takes more
time and energy than the saved article is
worth. All that is asked is the use of iudg-
ment and discretion in the formation of
thrift habits.
