so typical of the English attitude to- ward the war and her sacrifice.
 It was on Good Friday that we saw the grave of the Unknown in the Ab- bey. You may remember how one en- ters the Abbey from the side portal, near to the entrance to St. Margar- eSs, Westminster. London was crowded with Bank Holiday visitors, though why anyone should visit Lon don in the dreary spaces of Bank Holiday we were never able to discov- er. But we joined the file entering the old Cathedral and finally pressed our way down the nave, where, half way to the entrance to the transept lies the slab marking the resting place of the unknown soldier who lies here among the myriad graves of the great names of England. Different but no less dramatic in its setting is this burial place from that of the French hero Here in the old Abbey which has looked down on so many generations of English life, of coro- nations and burials, 1t seems an ade- quate monument to that flower of English youth nov buried in the un- known graves of Belgium and north ern France. Flowers are about the plain slab and rosaries and other little offerings rest upon it's face where one reads

A few weeks later we were in Lon don and victorious sun was still con quering the fogs of the ldes of March. Instead of the copper colored days of other winters we walked without over coats in warm sunshine down White hall where the Horse Gustlis once more stand on guard in then shining helmets and breast plates Midway down the great street which leads from the business center of London to the Houses of Parliament and the neighboring Abbey, we came to the Cenotaph, the monument erected, as its inscription reads, "To the Glorious Dead. who died for King and Country in the Great War. 19t4-l91S.' The Cenotaph is far from being thing of beauty. It is simply huge, block like erection of sandstone standing in the midst of the eddying traffic of London, but no less a constant re- hinder of the years which are still a livid scar on the present generation of the English people.
 Again the mounds of flowers, this time piled high about the base of the wreaths and tiny punches of yellow primroses and vio- lets. Nearly all of these offerings bore cards. We looked at one of them. It read Tn proud and loving memory of and there followed the names of three members of one fam fly, all fallen in action before the end of 1915.

THE AMERICAN WAY.
(Leslie's Weekly


Americans have become so accus-
toned to the orderly working of their
political institutions that they take
everything as a matter of course. In
deed, TO Judge from the behavior of
many citizens, it might be said with
fairness that familiarity breeds con-
tempt" We talk glibly about our
blessings, but we do not seem to ap-
pieciate them overmuch. Take, for
example, the recent change in ad-
ministration of our national govern
ment. After eight years of power one
group moved out and another group
moved i'm. There was no display of
force. no fear of violence. no uncov-
ering of plots. officers of ,he letir-
ing government met their successors
with every possible courtesy and help
IN getting a fair start. Cheers and
good wishes from people of all par
ties followed the outgoing leaders
and greeted the newcomers. It was a
good deal like changing the watch on
a ship at sea And all this was sim
ply a symbol of something greater in
the nation itself The reason for the
change in personnel of government
was not personal ambition, or politi-
cal scheming. or armed force. The
people of the country by their votes
on election day registered decision
That decision was final. It was made
after fun and free discussion without
sny element of coercion. Alternative /
policies and leadership were presented |
to the electors and they made their
choice. Under fixed constitutional |
forms this choice automatically es-
abolished itself on March T. The old /
government went out; the new gov
eminent went in, with no Interrupt
ion to the business of the country.

UNCLE SAM AS AUcTIoNEER.

Highway officials from every state
I in the union are besieging congress to
pass without delay, legislation al
ready proposed, providing for the
turning over by the federal govern
ment to the states of vast quantities
of road building machinery now ly-
ing idle and rotting and resting in
open storage.
Nearly all of this material includ-

investment of hundreds of millions
Of dollars In the list are some Co.

and sizes
That the government can make no
better disposition of this material
than to give it to the states without
charge is demonstrated by the al
most udicrous results of the depart
ments effort to sell it at auction and
derive some cash salvage. Several
thousand trucks which cost the gov
eminent $4,000 apiece were sold at
auction by the war department at
Jeffersonville Ind. They sold as low
as sS5 each, the highest bringing only |
$3.50. One and -half-ton trucks |
were offered and brought as low as
S26 apiece. The highest price paid
was $500. Roadsters which cost $1,000
each sold at an average price of SIS
Five and "a half-ton trucks, of which

AN INFAMOUS PROPOSAL.
Irwin Falls News)

(Twin Falls News)
AS if Twin Falls had not already
suffered fun measure of woes and at
Elections, comes now the proposal for
a lecture to be given here some
time in the near future by Mrs. Kate
richards O'Hare that gentle lady
who won a considerable portion Of
notoriety during the great war by
her efforts to paralyze the arm and
conscience of the United States, with
respect to the issues of that titanic
conflict and whose efforts at that
time were rewarded by a term in the
federal prison from which she was
liberated by President Wilson near
the close of his administration.
Whatever else may be said of the
proposal to bring Kate Richards
O'Hare here to address q public as
semblage, it can not be regarded as
other than a deliberate insult to the
former service men of this commun-
ity and to every person who was rep
resented by kith or kin il. the armed
forces of the nation during the world
war.
Mrs O'Hare is not d stranger at
least to those persons who are now
most interested in bringing about her
return here. Under the auspices of |
the socialist local" which about that |
Time took on a decidedly Teutonic |
complexion, Mrs. O'Hare early in the
summer of 1917 addressed a gather
Ter remarks at that time she took oc-
'asion to voice her opinion that men
the military service were
'est qualified to serve as fertilizer
or the soil of France" and that
heir mothers were comparable to
brood sOWs."

IDAHO STILL FIGHT FOR FAIR
FREIGHT RATES.

Idaho, as part of the intermountain
territory is stin struggling against
the injustice of coast terminal freight
rates under which coast jobbers are
enabled to ship commodities from
the east and then back to the inter-
mountain territory in competition
with local distributors That is. the
coast jobber is given d rate less than
the Idaho jobber from the east al
though the commodity passes across
this state in reaching the coast. In
this way the coast jobber is enabled
to ship his goods back to Idaho and
compete with his rival
here In anticipation of a further
'eduction in the freight rates. from
The east in favor of the coast the
public utilities commission of this /
tate has entered a vigorous protest

OF HOW PRESIDENT
HARDING DOES THINGS.

The delays incident to accomplish
ing legislation and the red tape that
ties up and obstructs governmental
action through the departments are
rapidly being eliminated under the
Harding administration. Business
methods are being introduced in the
handling of the affairs of government.
An example of this change recently
occurred in the passage of a bill in
record time. For several weeks the
elevator in the Washington monument
mad been out of commission, and as a
consequence the thousands of visitors
who throng the national capital had
been denied the privilege of riding to
The top and viewing the city from
that vantage point President Hard
ing learned of the state of affairs and
was informed that no money would
be available to pay for the necessary |
.epairs until July l. the beginning of
he next fiscal year. ThereupOn the |
president Immediately addressed a
etter to the appropriations commit
zee of the house calling attention TO
he matter and suggesting that the |
ieeded sum be provided. On the day
he letter was received the house
'assed resolution appropriating
SlOO for the purpose, and before ad-
ournment that same day the senate
.ad gone on record in favor of it,
This is the first time that legislation
as been passed by both houses on
lac same day that the president re
uested it.

The fact is that the armies Of the
central powers were beaten at the
time of the signing Of the armistice
and were ready to begin a disastrous
retreat The situation was favorable
for an invasion of Germany and an
advance on Berlin where the treaty
of peace could have been negotiated
In terms that Germany could not
avoid. and it was under that condi-
ton. with the allied armies actually
in possession of the German capital,
that the treaty should have been
drawn. As it is, Germany is not
conquered nation. The German peo-
pie have not felt the sting Of defeat
The Hun has not felt the heel of the
invader The German militaristic
spirit has not been broken. Time will
disclose that lives saved by the sign
ing of the armistice will be more than
eounterbalanced by the lives that will
some time be lost because the nation
hat started the world war was not
aught the lesson it needed to learn.

their own hands, they can never win
The public is sick of despotism and
exploitation and hypocrisy The Am
elican people want an open shop in
which any man may work
The real open shop will win, and it
ought to win. 1t is an American
proposition and has public opinion
with it. But it has price attached.
If tomorrow the open shop is estab-
lished everywhere it can not and will
not last the day out unless the en-
ployer is willing to pay the price
That price is that the employer shall
voluntarily do for his employees, in
Solar as their demands are just, what
now the labor union forces him to do.
And further that the employer him
self shall become the leader of the
men in his employ.
If the struggle for the open shop is
simply struggle for power rather
than an effort to establish justice, it
will fail and it ought to fail But if il
represents a real moral movement in
which reason and justice are to take
the place OF brute force in industry, it
will prove to be of enormous value to
the whole country
No man can be the head of an open
shop who is not white and true clear
through He must become the leader
Of the men in his employ or he can
not expect them to turn from the
leadership of the union official.
We want the open shop-but can
We pay the price? That is the real
ssue. The open shop would come
struggle if employers
Everywhere demonstrate that they are
'ig enough and good enough to head
n open shop. The only way to get
i'd Of tyranny is to put something
