MADE IN GERMANY.
(Dubuque Times-JournalD

The Associated Press reports from
Berlin that the trademark Made in
Germany soon may be stamped again
on German export wares for the agi-
tatfon to revive this trade mark, which
was known in three -fourths of the
market cities of the world before the
war has been increasing in industrial
and commercial circles.
If the republican protective tariff
bill is not soon passed the people of
the United States will not have to rely
on newspaper reports to get this in
formation. They will have reminders
of it every day as they read Made in
Germany on thousands of articles
which are displacing the domestic pro-
duction.
Last year we imported so million dol
lars worth of goods from Germany.
That doesn't sound like such an awful
lot until one begins to study the i'm

cents. razors at 16 cents, scissors and

NORTH AND SOUTH IDAHO GET
TING TOGETHER.

II there is any sentiment in south
Idaho in favor Of the division of the
state, it is not indicated by the ex-
pressions credited to occasional Wis
itors from the south to the north. In
fact, if we may accept as reliable in
formation received through this chan
mel, the south has no thought of sepa-
ration from the north; on the contrary.
the tendency down there is to cultivate
a closer relationship between the two
sections to the end that Idaho with its
vast and varied resources may con
tinue to advance in material wealth and
provide its citizens with those advan-
tages that make for better citizenship.
This was the idea conveyed by NJ. Il.
Yeaman, of Idaho Falls, editor OF the
Times Register of that city and sena-
tor from Bonneville county, who was
in Moscow last week, where he ad-
~N NAS Sie'SS graduating III pIdc-

also a guest of the Moscow chamber of
commerce, where he gave expression to
the attitude of the people of the south
to the north. He spoke in the highest
terms of the university, and told of the
growing popularity of the institution
in the south. In the course of his re-
marks he said:
Moscow is an almost ideal loca-
ton for university. l am proud
that my daughter is attending col
lege here. Moscow is essentially
home town and well adapted for
an institution of learning.
The pioneers of southern Idaho
have had hard fight in making
that section of the state what it is
today and as a result the finer SEN
sibilities have been blunted some
what But now the fact is coming
over the minds of the people of
south Idaho that the University of
Idaho presents the opportunity for
the making of better citizens out of
their sons and daughters. There

enlargement from south Idaho

mate and well thoughtout plans for

NEVER GIVE UP.

philadelphia Public Ledger)
Life is a series of chances to begin
afresh. We accept or we refuse. Per-
haps we are discouraged over a broken
resolve But it does not require a res
olution to lay hold of life again We
may renew the struggle even without
formulating a determination against
the evil whose hold on us is so strong
or the encouragement that unnerves.
The important thing is never the
promise to ourselves that we will do
as we should; what matters is the ac-
tual performance. And we may pro-
coed TO that performance with no
binding pledge of any kind.
II is easy to let ourselves drift into
state so dispirited that we do not
care what becomes of u.s. At such a
moment a word from another or
thought toward another may make all
the difference. We must be faithful
because someone else, though else
where, expects it. We must rise to
the level of that trust in us. It would

WHY HERBERT HOOVER WILL
REMAIN ON THE JOB.

This country has been prolific in
examples OF men and women who
placed the performance OF public duty
above financial gain; in fact the rec
ord will show that most OF those hold
ing official positions are actuated by
high ideals Of public service for which
many OF them sacrifice opportunities
for financial profit. In spite of this.
the radicals who are ever trying to I'M
dermine our system Of government,
and the morbid minded who never give
credit for honest motives, persist in
charging selfish motives against those
holding high positions in the govern
ment and that they are controlled by
that stealthy and all-powerful influ-
ence called capitalism. OF course men
who harbor such evil thoughts can
never be changed except by some such |
cataclysm as has deluged Russia, and /
possibly not then But nevertheless
the action of Herbert Hoover secre-
tary of commerce, in declining a $50
600 a year job because he felt that it
was his duty to his country to finish
the job ne already was on, although
it pays only $4,000 a year, is highly
to normal minds and an
inspiration to millions of young men

Mr.. Borah. Obnoxious! OF course

senator from New Mexico loses sight

proposition it is more desirable to put
it in another bill; but so far as the tax
payer is concerned it does not make
any difference whatever, because we
have got to lay the tax somewhere;
and l submit to the senator from New
Mexico that we have laid upon the
people of this country all the taxes we
should lay upon them. Whether we do
it by special bill or by a general tax
bill, does not make any difference to
the taxpayer; he has got to pay it
anyway; the country has got to bear
it; and the economic conditions of the
country have got to suffer; industry
will be retarded and agriculture will be
still further demoralized. Therefore
Mr. President, why should not congress
say I'VE are going to pay this bonus
