WILSON AND THE WAR

A S he stood at the clerks desk III
"a the hall Of the house of repre-
sentatives on the evening of April z,
1917, President Wilson was the central
figure in one of the great moments OF
world history Not only his own people
but mankind stopped to listen.
The president had been reelected
only five months before because 'he
kept us out of the war" Alas, the
war would not keep out of the United
States.
The war took on new fury, with the
resumption Of ruthless summarizing,
which Germany had modified the year
before at our demand. The president
thereupon handed the German ambas-
sador his passports, and next he pro-
posed that we should arm our mer-
chant ships. The filibusterlng sem
ate failing to give him this authority,
he proceeded himself to arm them. But
shipping vanished from the sea, with
its hidden terror, and at last he called
the newly elected congress in extraor-
binary session to receive communi-
cation-concerning grave matters OF
national policy
No other president In the whole
course of his service has had to make
so many momentous decisions as
Woodrow Wilson has had to make in

The prices received for the 40
head offered was not as high as
breeders have been receiving in
past years when money was easy,
but considering the general fin
ancial condition Of the country,
Messrs. Mckinley and Funke
were well satisfied with the re-
suits and the class of stuff sold
will be reflected in profitable re-
turns from the farms in the COM
ing years.
The sale was conducted by
Harry c. Cranke. of Nezperce.

Good Prices at Mckinley Funke
Hog Sale.

The auction sale of pure-bred
Poland-China hogs conducted
at the grounds Of the North
west Livestock show in Lew
iston Monday was a big sue
cess from the standpoint of dis
tributing the best breeding stock
of the northwest amongst the
farmers of the many localities
represented The top price paid
was $3.50 and the average for the
first ten sold was better than
$500.
The weather was unfavorable
and the condition of the roads in
many of the tributary sections
prevented the attendance Of
many bidders who had indicated
an intention of attending. Tele-
graph and mail bids were receiv-
ed and as a result of this sale two
of the top hogs will go to Mon
tana, one to Sunnyside, Wash,
and another to southern Idaho.
Asosin county, Latah county,
Whitman county, Wash, and
Nez Perez county bought the
larger per cent of the offerings.
The 43 head sold brought an
average of $55 per head.
This sale was conducted by
Howard Mckinley and John
F'unke of Cottonwood, and these
men brought to the Lewiston sale
a strain of Poland China hogs
that are equal to any to be found
in the northwest. This is the sec
ond annual sale conducted by
Messrs. Mckinley & Funke. and it
is their. purpose to continue this
policy OF annual sales and they
hope to hold these sales in Lew
lston.

the solitude of his study at the White
House in those anxious DAYS before
the assembling of congress. He could
not divide the burden of such a heavy
responsibility he had to bear it alone
and without precedent to guide him.
Should we give further trial to
armed neutrality? Or should we en-
ter upon an independent naval war
fare against the submarine menace to
our shipping? Or should we back the
allies with money and supplies. but
leave them to do the fighting? Or
should we join forces with them unre-
servedly, contrary to the historic pol
icy of America to go it alone7
Those alternatives were in every
mind in that bewildering period. and
the president had to choose between
them in framing the policy to be SUBJ
mitted to congress. He made the
holder choice of going into full part
nership with the entente allies. pool
ing with them all our resources our
man power, our money power and our
producing power.
The broad plan which he unfolded
and which congress quickly approved
assured in advance the success Of tbe
great, unparalleled undertaking. and
he pushed it through to victory with
GRIM unrelenting persistence Amerf.
cans generally assumed at the start,
and the British government agreed
with them, that we should not have
to send great army to Eurone. If in
deed any at all. But when If became
an imperative necessity to 90 at
double quick to the relief of tbe bro-
ken line in France, the foundation was
so well laid that we rose to the UNI
foreseen emergency, building up in a
year and a half an army of a OO0 600
and ferrying 100000 soldiers across
the Atlantic.

Underlying the relapse which over

been a divergence or opinion between
sellers and buyers as to what con-

was brought about by actual inability

prices demanded. and not merely by
over the prices

try relative to the increase in home
building. says the review OF ths
American Lumberman, Of Chicago. In
practically every section of the coun-
try negotiations are under way
whereby 1t is sought to. reduce tho
wages OF building labor from tn.
peak. Generally. where reductions
have been made building is largely
stimulated and 1t would seem that In
two or three weeks the building labor
situation should be we'll adjusted in
practically all parts Of the country
The review says:
Production of lumber continues
upon a restricted basis and while
orders placed are not up to normal.
nevertheless they exceed actual pro-
duction, taking the country as a
whole. Shipments are coming FOR
ward promptly and mills are taking
care of rush orders in good shape.
The demand Is such that the volume
of grades suitable for building
shipped exceeds the volume produced
and consequently 1t is becoming dini-
cult to place some orders which ar
badly mixed or which call for items
in the most demand.
"This condition is particularly no.
.ticeable in the southern pine terri
tory and as a consequence Eastern
buyers are turning to the purchase
of Douglas fir in spite of the very
high freights which must be paid to
get 1t into Central Western markets.
"In the matter of prices there has
been some tendency to Arm up those
for the lower grades. particularly
in southern pine. Here and there may
be noted a trend to reduce the prices
of tn better grades and fhis is due,
not so much to lack of demand as to
a readjustnent of the spread In val
ues between the different grades"

COAL MEN ADVISE
| CONSUMERS T0BUY
Cooperation Urged to Avert
Shortage Of Product Through
Even Distribution.

Active cooperation on the part of
the consumer with other forces in
volved in production would insure
the nation against facing coal
sho Hge emergency, according to an
analysis OF the bituminous coal in
dustry made public today by the Ma
tional Coal Association.
The outstanding problem OF the in
dustry, the association declares. is to
obtain even distribution of output
during the entire year.
An uninterrupted flow OF coal from
the mines will result in the regula-
tion of prices and work to the ad-
vantage OF everyone concerned, but
this cannot be accomplished without
adequate transportation. according to
the associations bulletin.
The present slump in bituminous
production is blamed by the coal as
sociation on consumers who have fail
ed to order stocks ahead OF present
demands.
