A number of excellent addresses
were delivered in Moscow Sunday, in
observing Boy Scout Sunday In all
the writer was privileged to hear
there was excellent thought, high
ideals being held up before the boys,
who will, little later, be the coun-
try's leading citizens. 1t was left
to Judge w. f. Morgareidge, how
ever, to make the point, which to our
mind is most important, when he said
that the paramount issue is not the
league of nations, the tariff, or any
other matter political, but is the cor
rect training of the boys in the home.
He rightly said that if the boys are
trained rightly, and grow to be the
right kind of men, the most important
problems will be rightly solved by
them. With the affairs of the nation
in the hands of upright, honest men,
who know right from wrong, and who
strive for the right in all that they
do, many of our so-called paramount
issues could be relagated to the scrap
heap.

Paul Gladstone has dropped out of
sight compleetly-an almost out of
mind A few years ago Paul was
CONSPICUOUS figure in Idaho politics
He served in the state Legislature and
was a candidate for governor on the
republican ticket. Possessed of con-
siderable ability of the kind that
keeps a person in the spotlight for a
while, Paul made many friends
throughout the state and kept going
as long as the going was fairly good.
This reference to our former towns

in a Spokane newspaper under the
head, Twenty Years Age Today
stating that in a pool tournament at

THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF BUNK
1t is quite apparent that in the
coming election the democrats are
going to make much of the New
berry case. There is room for some
just criticism, there is no question
about that. Yet nothing criminal has
been proven against Newberry or his
friends who conducted his campaign.
Those who hear the democratic ora
tors laundering against corruption
in the coming campaign will know
that it is bunk pure and simple They
will know that had Newberry been
a democrat he would have received
every democratic vote in
the senate.
The republicans will not be out of 1
They will go back and \
that was spent supposedly for air
planes, and not an American plane
at the front They will ask where the
.hree billions went to that were sup
posed to go into ordnance and not
a big gun of American make ever at =
he front. They will ask who got the
'ake-off when thirty of forty halters liz
we're ordered for every horse in the IE
American cavalry. They will ask Is
Who got the rake-off in the ship Is
building program with its cost plus IL
