With the help of his sons he bull

smith. But with the progress OF
machinery we have found that we car
produce goods more economically by
specializing. The farmer hires his
clothing made. His shoes are manu-
featured in an Eastern plant. His
furniture comes from Grand Rapids.
The industrial worker in turn hires
the farmer to grow his food for him.
Both the industrial worker and the
farmer hire trainmen to transport
their products. This industrial system
depends for its successful working on
the harmonious cooperation of all
these groups. If one of them kicks
yer and refuses to do its part, the
whole system is thrown out Of order.

A housewife who leaves her beds
unmade, her dishes unwashed, and
the children engaged in a battle royal
in the parlor, while she visits her
neighbor and instructs her how to
run her household, has nothing on
the European statesmen who have
been Tor the past several years tell
ing the United States what she must
do to be saved. 1t is really to be
hoped that the Clemenceau series Of
the last. America has done much for
Europe and is willing to do more,
but she is going to do it in her W
way. Europe don't know what she
wants, nor how to get it just now.
The only thing she seems to be GER
tain about is that she don't want to
get back to normal through economy
and work, but is seeking some easier
way. There is no other way, and Jul
brothers across the waters might just
as we'll accept the condition as it is
and get busy.
The unostentatiousness and general
simplicity which marked the induction
of Governor Charles c.. Moore and
the other state officials into office,
should appeal to the people of Idaho.
This is not a time for any of the
"kingly %splendor" stuff. What the
people want is an economical, bust
nesslike administration. Politics does
not enter into the matter, either,
every substantial, t~ax-paying citizen
being interested In results, instead of
political affiliations. The people OF
Idaho, no matter who they may have
voted for, are expecting a good ad-
ministration from Governor Moore,
and The Star-Mirror believes they will /

A local business man remarked /,
most truthfully the other day that ,
one of the most hopeful things in /,
connection with the present condition
is the fact that the public-farmer, !,
laborer, business man-has learned in r
the past 18 months something of the
value of a dollar, as it used to be r
known before the war. In other
words, we have gotten away, to a d
great extent, from the spendthrift d
habits which fixed themselves upon
us during and Immediately after the ?
war, when there seemed to be no end h
to the available cash. We are get-'
back to normal in our habits and s
in our desires. !
