DO NOT BE LURED BY
RAINBOW PROMISES

This is a mighty good time for
people to stay with the old home and
work out their problems and theii
salvation where they are known,
where they have trends, where they
have established themselves in the
confidence of the community.
In times Of stress, such as we
have been passing thru, however,
there Is always on the job the pro-
moter, who exaggerates the cause
for any dissatisfaction in an effort to
get people to move into unknown
fields.
Such effort is being put forth in
Idaho today. We doubt IL it is hav-
ing much effect, but we would sound
a note of warning to any who have
listened to this siren voice or looked
upon the seductive moving pictures
of Rainbow Promiseland.
There is not better state in the
northwest than Idaho. What Idaho
has gone thru every state has ex-
perienced. Idaho has suffered no
more than any Of the others and less
than some. The period Of readjust-
ment following the war Is not q
checker-board affair. It is a solid
mass, and no part of the United
States has escaped. Idaho has not,
but it must be admitted that general
conditions have been and are much
better than many had forecasted,
and the new forward movement is
fully as pronounced IN Idaho as in
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-03-23
any other state.

any other state.
Our people have fought it out and
are as we'll prepared as any to take
the fullest advantage of arpidly ap-
preaching norml conditions.
Then why move?
The only reason we know Is be-
cause someone has some land to sell.
In one case where special efforts are
being made to induce Idaho people to
leave their homes, the new location
as a mater of general knowledge
presents no such advantages of eli
mate, soil or possibilities as Idaho.
The fellow who sticks to Idaho
will win.
1t is exceedingly risky to make
hasty and ill-advised moves. Failure
is far more often the result than is
success.
The rolling stone gathers no
moss; but If it should roll, these out
side land promoters gather greedily
and plentifully-and it isn't moss,
either. rf

CONSOLIDATING THE
CHURCHES

Down at American Falls they have
a population of 1900, and they have
eight churches, and the consolidated
newspapers of that county all housed
now under one roof and expressing
themselves thru one paper and with
one expense bill, suggests that the
pious people Of the village cut out
SO per cent Of their churches and see
If they could not get more religion
into operation in half the space.
II they make 1t work as we'll In
church matters as they have in news
paperdom, it will speed up the SER
vice and cut down the expense.

and her lessons to learn. The faults
are probably not as serious as the
faults of some other states, but that
is no excuse for failing to correct
them. The lessons are those that
any people who have gone human
ways in these last few years would
do well to study.
But Idaho has virtues; let nobody
deny that within the hearing Of an
Idahoan.
We have been stirred recently by
reading letter sent to the Balti-
more Sun by former citizen Of
IDAHO" The subject was Senator
Borah and the message a political
one which need not concern us now,
but there were two paragraphs that
will quicken the heart Of anyone who
loves Idaho. The correspondent
wrote of-those splendid people of
Idaho in that glorious state with its
wonderful forests and sylvan beauty,
stretching far with mountains Of AL
pine grandeur, its (Snake) river,
with cataract that rivals Niagara,
it's fertile plains and prosperous,
well-built towns, pellucid atmosphere
"a land 80 placed by the god Of
nature that never cyclone and
rarely thunderstorm disturbs the
peace of its citizens.
know the people-and they are
q splendid people, nine-tenths of
them. But there is another tenth,
and the politics and the courts are
often by them dominated, and brains
concentrated on political aspirations
work publications and other things,
while the nine-tenths are busy
farming, logging, mining, making
roads and building delightful homes
in this vale of Chaumoni, for Idaho
is region Of rare beauty and charm
ing people. .N
What could be more true.
And this suggests that Idaho's
greatest problem is that of making
her business and her politics reflect
the beauty Of her landscape and the
charm Of her majority citizens.
We need not hang our heads be-
cause we are not perfect. We can
and should hold our heads high be-
cause of our virtues. But neither
the grandeur of our own virtues nor
the turpidity of neighbors with
greater faults than ours, should lead
us to tolerate our misdoings; that
would not make our affairs reflect
the, beauty Of our landscapes; that
would not help the substantial and
charming nine-tenths to climb to
their rightful place of domination.

FUNNY STUFF COMING
WEST

People are not yet done sending
out propaganda. Neither are they
done playing up unimportant things
as II they were vital. They have not
all stopped spending money foolishly
and calling it economics.
The University Of Utah is to lose
its present president and have a new
man in the place. 1t is now sending
out letters to more or less Of the
world to say that they are going to
make an event Of the inauguration.
They are going to have an inaugural
procession. They are going to have
an inaugural ceremony at which the
president and another professor will
each make a speech. Then they are
going to take nourishment and call
it an inaugural luncheon. Then they
will have reception and dance.
Their propaganda says that uni
versities and colleges all over the
United States will send representa-
tives and something like seventy Of
these Institutions from twenty-five
different states have agreed to send
somebody.
The propaganda further states
that the name of the new president is
DR.. George Thomas, and that the
other chief speaker will be DR..
Thomas Nixon Carver of Harvard,
and it informs us that he is an
economist of international reputa-
ton, and that both of these
Thomases have made extensive
studies of economics.
Well! We. are awfully glad to
know that. We lead such hum
drum life in our small town that we
really did not know that the univers-
ity had a president or that 1t needed
a new one. We have grown accus-
toned to hearing that there is q row
in the u, of U. and anyone that
claims to know what 1t is based on
generally says it is too bad.
We're awfully ignorant Of uni
versity things anyhow. The most we
know about the U. of U. for the past
first class mail from the U. Of U.

NO USE OF Eek.
PERIMENTING

There is no use for the American
people to be experimenting in things
that have been tested at different
times for centuries and have always
proved to be failures. We refer to
having the government 60 into the
various branches of business that are
ordinarily done by private enterprise
when successfully accomplished.
Every attempt to conduct business
without the stimulous of ownership
results in failure. Our government
went into the railroad business at
the beginning of the war and those
people who studied the situation do
not want any more of government
operation Of the railroads. They
are now. considering the matter of
having the government 60 into the
insurance business on q tremendous
scale and there is no more justiflca-
ton for that no more prospects of
success than in the railroad bust
ness. Wherever they take away the
stimulus of private ownership, that
enterprise sooner or later becomes a
failure. ,r.a..
When the first settlements we're
made in America at jamestown and
Massachusetts everything was owned
in common, everybody was supposed
to serve alike and everybody shared
alike. Famine overlook both of
these enterprises because some of
the people would not work for the
common good altho they were all
willing to share the common sup
plies at meal time. It was not until
they went to work on the principle
of every family for themselves that
they began to succeed. It was then
that they began to practice real in
dustry and real thrift that led to sue
cess. Since that time there have been
innumerable experiments along the
same line in colonies In many DIFF
ferent states of the union and under
conditions the most favorable. Only
q few years ago colony tried It in

Britford wondered that she sounded
SO casual, SO uninterested. and
asked himself whether behind such
magnificent courage den Of wild

he said, brutslly though wanting
to be tender, "Dear old Claire

II was then that the gray eyes
opened wide upon him and that a
little tremor came into her voice.

Britford hesitated. She was hurt
ing him very much by making him
feel nervous, now that only a few
hours separated him from his
greatest venture, making him feel
that it was no good, that he couldn't
get her, that even If he did secure
her physical presence she would
lie in his arms only as the per
fumed corpse of some Egyptian
princess in the ravenous embrace
Of the embalmer. Also, behind her
courage he felt her anguish; felt
it personally, as II this woman had
got into his skin, as il his emo
tions were Identical with hers. He
wanted to comfort her, so suddenly
he seized her hand.

She looked at him rather sadly.
Dear Stephen, does one? You've
wanted me for a long time; have
you got over it? You see, you can't
answer. It's not my fault II I've
spoiled your life"
"You haven't. 0u've given me

said Britford.
Poor Stephen. You've been
chasing a will-o' '-the-wisp. Let my
hand go. Even II you had held
your will-o'the-wisp it'd only have
taken you to a morass. Let me go,
Stephen, you're hurting me-"
He let her go, naturally respond
ing to this appeal, but his eyes re.
