waste, we are all involved In tho
catching up. We are economizing
and taking new holds on the worlds
materials Some lose title to prop
erty, but none seem to gain title that
looks like 1t was desirable to them.
People ask where all the money has
gone, and where are the people who
are benefiting by our losses. and no
body seems able to answer unless 1t
is to say, ''the war;" Europe Is
blaming America for getting all the
gold, but II we have 1t, 1t Is very
we'll hidden and very unevenly dis
tributed.
1t is an old saying that the sounder
the circulating medium is, the more
emphatically it disappears just when
it is most needed, and by that token
we must have very good circulating
medium. In Russia and Germany
they carry money around in baskets
and bales and people turn their backs
on 1t in more or less disgust, for they
have to redeem 1t II their country is
to survive. Every piece of currency
is as mortgage.
A good way to look at our situa-
ton Is to consider that II we can be
fairly comfortable during the period
of settlement we may get into very
interesting and prosperous period
after the pinch is over.

Why the Legion Has
Been Disappointing

Many posts of the American Legion
have failed to function owing to dis
cord chargeable to number OF
things which the men themselves do
not always analyze and understand.
When a post is organized 1t is
usually composed of men who are
strangers to each other and unac-
customed to pulling together. They
select leaders and often make mis-
takes in their choice, putting in men
who are not adapted to leadership.
Then there is dissentiOn and a
breaking down of the membership
and morale of the organization. This
is aided by the bitter memories Of
the war days and it needs only a
spark to set it to operating. 1t grew
out of the fact that men came to
hate their uniforms and in too many
cases the officers too. That had its
origin in the very nature of our
institutions and our people. Born
and raised in the air of independence
and the feeling in each man that he
wears no mans collar and takes or
ders from no master, it required a
crushing reversal to enter the ranks
and absolutely submit to orders that
came thick and fast and kept coming.
One man was made master over the
others by stroke of the pen, and

JUST AMONG OUR
HOME FOLKS

If you think your business or your
work has not been paying very well,
If you are not getting ahead or if
you are losing, in the face of all your
efforts, consider a few things like
these:
Practically all others, or the great
mass of others, are having the same
experience. The great and the small,
the rich and the poor, have sacrificed,
have lost part or all and are seeking
to make the best of bad situation.
1t is the aftermath of the war and
was unavoidable. When the world
makes business of destruction and
waste and of unproductive activity
for years by part of its people, the
army and navy and air service and
all those who produce and forward
things to them, we must expect that
there will be the day of settlement
The world is now in the day of
settlement, the catching up, and as
all of us got drawn into the whirl of
production and destruction and

BLACKFOOT COULD
AND SHOULD

BlackfoOt could put on a Fourth
of July celebration this year that
would be of unusual worth, and il
it is to be done with good effect,
it should be decided on and announc-
ed soon, for the towns that announce
their plans early, receive some adj
vantage by it.
The American Legion could put
on the Fourth of July celebration
at Blackfoot if it chose, and the town
is probably wishing that it would
maize that choice. The country is
probably entertaining the same wish,
and if it responds and does this
thing, the Legion will be making
many friends by il, providing of
course they do it we'll.
The American Legion has an un-
usually good band and orchestra,
and local pride would be justly graft
fed if the home people get their
service on that occasion, rather than
having them go to some distant place
for the same pay but less net profits
and with greater fatigue added by
greater travel. Last year they went
out and donated their services at
number of celebrations in the country
and this year those folks will want to
return their visit and drink lemonade
while they note and enjoy the wave
lengths.
The Blackfoot post of the Ameri
can Legion is reported to be the
champion post of the state as rated
by percent of membership and pro-
jects undertaken and brought to sue
-cessful finish. 1t has the development
of its band and orchestra well along
and the donation of something like
a thousand dollars to its treasury
by the Blackfoot business houses last
week gives it reason to smile and
labor on.

COUNTY NURSE REPORT

Early in January Miss Chaffee,
public health nurse, had sent to all
the schools Of the county, letter
addressed to the boys and girls, urg-
ing them to keep up health chores,
and asking for report as to what
they were doing to promote health
in their community.
Many letters were received by
Miss Chaffee. We are publishing a
few that will give the public an idea
as to the interest the children are
taking in health work:

THANKS ARE DUE
TO THE CLUBS

All of the local people, who
are enjoying the advantages OF
having employment these dull
times with the Reclamation Of
fee at Blackfoot, or on any
of the government activities on the
reservation and at the reservoir, can
thank the Commercial club and the
Rotary club for their work laying
the foundation for these undertak-
ings back in 1920-21 and '22 when
things were looking bad and getting
worse. Men in Blackfoot, POcatellO
and American Falls left their own
work and business and put up their
own money to push the prospects and
the possibilities of greater under
takings, kept their shoulders to the
wheel and by the time business got
down to its worst or what we hope
is the worst, there was cash employ
ment for the man who is broke and
very much in need of job to sup
port his home.
Whenever you hear somebody ask
ing that old question, what has the
COMMERCIAL club done?" or What
does Rotary do?" or what does
Kiwanis do?" the well informed per-
son can point to one or more tasks
in progress and others finished n
tasks that mean much to the poor or
the wage worker or the fellow in
business or all of them, but it is
always the fellow in business who
pays for them. He is asked to support
the club work, to put up for the
band and the numberless other things
which the community needs and
which somebody has to devote much
time to or somebody suffers loss
or a sacrifice of some kind.
Let the benefactors take notice
of the relation between themselves
and the organized workers who vol
UNFAIRLY save for the good of all, in
Guiding those who do not help.
There are generally some persons
or firms in business who side-step
their share of public work. They
want somebody else to build town
and make business and keep it COM
ing their way, and when there is work
to do or expense to pay, they decline
to do their share and there is no
way of making them do it. The only
thing that can be done is to let the
public know that they are slackers
and trust to the public to deal less
with them and more with those who
do their part. That Is the reason why
the newspapers are asked at times |
to publish the list of those who re-
sponded with money or service for |
some worthy object. 1t would be
libelous to publish the list of those
who refuse to help, but it is not IL
belous to print the list of those who
do, and the public can analyze the
mater and reach their own conclu-
sions.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1924-05-01

they took his orders cheerfully until
he vexed them exceedingly and then
they felt the impulse to tell him
where to go and there was rancor in
camp. They were clothed In uniforms
that seldom fitted as to size and
shape and they we're expected to fit
themselves to the uniform and say
they liked 1t. 1t was hard to do.
During the term in the service
there grew up in the average man a
craving to get back to civil life and
rapid money-making, to go about
with the freedom that would permit
them to tell anybody to go to the
dickens and be in no danger of being
sent to the guard house. Then came
the hard times and disappointments.
| the efforts to work In the Legion
with men who had not yet gotten
over the soreness caused by being
made to submit to up-start officers
who in their special training we're
told to be hard boiled" with their
men and to enforce rigid discipline
overnight because the allies were
losing the war and time was
precious.
The individual counted for moth
ing-it was the war that must be
won and civilization saved at any
cost. Those were bitter days and the
men have not forgotten them.
When they came home the folks
wanted to see them in uniform,
parade and show them a touch
But the doughboy hated the
init h4 oh d. l.
had to coax him If they got him into
the parade. Out of forty delegates,
who went from Idaho to national
convention of the Legion, only one of
them responded; to the request to
bring his uniform for the parade.
At Fourth of July parade at Black
foot, it was with difficulty that
little company could be gotten to-
gether for a parade to please the
home people. Instead of being ap-
plauded as they passed between the
masses of people in the streets and
filling the second story windows,
dead silence prevailed as they passed.
The silence was not due to lack of
appreciation but because the men
marching in uniform meant so much
to the people-it was as if the old
flag had been hidden from their sight
for decade and when it was brought
forth they choked with emotion and
stood silent.
The doughboys hated the uniform
but the people held it in reverence.
In twenty years from now the con-
ditiOn will have been reversed. The
will be advanced to ripper
years; the bitter memories of the
days will have softened and
sweetened like fruit as it ripens, and
a generation will have grown up who
knew not the anxious days of the
Marine, the ruthless submarine ac-
tivities and the price paid for the |
liberties of those who are now in
the cradles
We are now entering a middle !
period; 1t is ten. years since the call
20 arms, and five years from the
of the soldiers We
want to see the doughboys put on
he celebration at Blackfoot this
rear, and we hope they will get out
heir ill-fitting uniforms and wear
hem and march under the flag and
zee If the people have swallowed
hat lump in the throat and got so
hey can cheer and get their hands
nto action with applause.
