line and for the people to rule. If
the American people let it be known
that they fully endorse the stand
taken by President Harding and will
support him in it, they will win a
great victory for good government
and accomplish the complete route of
one of the most disgraceful practices
in American politics, that of permit
ting a few self-styled leaders to ap-
portion out the offices without regard
to competency or ability of the person
to whom the office is given.

of a pretty maid to avoid marriage
upon which her mother had insisted
She enlisted the aid of the best friend

plan was simple. She would announce
that she had married the friend.
Ergo, no other marriage was possible.
After the announcement she planned
to go to her own home for the night

commonest things in the world.
1t is experienced so often that the
most nerve racking troubles are usu-
ally humorous to bystanders, and
many times cause good laughs to the
people involved after they are over.

to claim her.
The plan is complicated at the start
because the young man whom she has
selected to play the role of husband,
has secretly married on the day he is
to assume the role. The announce
ment is made however, and then the
plans go all wrong. Her excuse to go

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ALLEGED Stacker LIST.

This paper will not publish the So
called "slacker list" being issued by
the war department for publication
in the newspapers. Many of the
best papers are refusing to publish
this list which is now being released
for publication as was the list of
casualties during the war. The list
of those who are charged with being
slackers from Latah county is posted
in the post office and those interested
may see it there.
This paper would do as much as
any publication to punish by pub
licity or otherwise, men who deserted
from the army or refused to do their
duty when called upon. No punish
ment prescribed by law is too severe
for these towards and it is not to shield
them that this paper refuses to pub
Iish the names, but for other reasons.
1t is said that lit were better than an
hundred guilty go unpublished than
that one righteous suffer wrongfully'
and Judging the work of the war de-
partment by it's past record we fear
that many of those posted as slack
ers" are not "slackers" by any means
and the publication of their names as
such would be doing them rank in
justice.
When the call was being sent out
for drafted men to appear for exam !
ination after the United States enter
ed the war, many men who were called
did not appear and were posted as
"sIackers" and the officers were or
dered to arrest them. 1t was found
that many of the men thus posted
were already in the service, having
vounteered and some of them were
already overseas. The publication of
these men who had volunteered as
s'slackers," when others had to be
drafted and were certified as being
loyal American soldiers (Which they
were) was a rank injustice.
In one of the alleged Stacker" lists
appears the name of a young man
who had died before he had a chance
to serve and there is no doubt that
hundreds of such cases have oc-
Cured If we had any assurance that
the Stacker" list was correct we
would gladly give it prominence on
the first page but we have no such
assurance.
In case of libel suit land the
man whose name was published as
a Stacker" would have good grounds
for libeD the newspaper would have
70 fight the case: The government
cannot be sued, nor can newspaper
Use as a defense, the blunders of a

ward for helping some congressman,
senator or other official to get votes,
md not because he or she was COM

PRESIDENT is RIGHT.


The American people will endorse
the stand taken by President Harding
that efficiency and service must be
had in governmental affairs and that
this government is to be operated on
a business basis Even at the risk
of offending certain class of poll
ticians and without a trace of sym
pathy for the office holder whose
only excuse for drawing a salary is
that he needs the money"
1t took courage to make a state
ment like that, but President Harding
has shown that he has the courage of
righteousness and when he knows he
is right Gas every American knows it,
he is not afraid to take a stand that
will mean much in the reformation of
politics and in the conduct of the
government.

LAFAYETTE. Ga, Feb. s4.--With
the return to life" of her first hus-
band, Fred Williams, Mrs. Grace
Robertson today found herself in the
unusual position of possessing two
husbands.
Williams, who went to France

was officially reported dead by the
war department in a telegram to the
wife the following year. Later, his
body was returned to this country
and the then Mrs. Williams gently
laid 1t to rest. And. too, the sorrow
ing widow was paid the war insur-
ance which Williams carried.
Yesterday, Mrs. Robertson receiv-
ed a telegram from Williams dated
New York City. stating that he had
lust landed on the Aquitania and
would be in Lafayette as quickly as
this little village could be reached.
IT don't know what to do" Mrs.
Robertson said today. I've tried
hard to think of some way, but I
Just can't" she added.
The only thing left to be done, she
indicated, was that she and her two
Husbands" have a peaceful get
together" and reach an amicable
agreement. possibly involving some
cash.
Only with the return of the dead"
overseas veteran can the mystery
surrounding his silence during the
last three years be explained.
