WORK FOR IDAHO SOLDIERS.
E do not know liow many of the members of the Idaho
regiment, who will return from the Mexican border this :
. . . f , t
week, according to schedule, will he m need of employ-1
ment, but we know that wc have wrongly gauged the
■ , , , , . . , , , , '.- il
U Idaho people it it shall not he forthcoming if needed.
Most of those who were engaged in regular employment
when they enlisted were promised their positions, or others, up
tin their return to civil life. The patriotism of Idaho employers
was shown in other ways, but perhaps in none more practical than
in that assurance. ,
If there are any' who were not regularly employed then but
who need work when they retire from the service, every effort
should be made to furnish the needed employment.
W e can recall that at times when towns needed basebail
players no difficulty was experienced in placing them in satis
factory positions. How much more consideration should be giv
en our soldier boys, who not only have represented Idaho most
creditably hut who are in line for additional service at any time?
This can he done without interfering with any others if \\c shall

THE PUBLIC IS RESPONSIBLE.
ENRY A. FORSTER, a New York attorney, has made r.
study of criminology in this country and abroad. To a
medical society in the metropolis the other night he re
viewed the results of his investigations. Supporting his
statement by a wealth of statistics, the speaker declared that j
"among the enlightened nations the L'nited States leads the
world in freeing murderers and felons, while Anglo-Saxon coun
tries not under the American flag have the least percentage of
murders and felonies."
The speaker gave the number of homicides, includingjnan
slaughter, in the United States in 1912 as 9152 and the numbei
of executions 145. In 1913 there were S902 such crimes and only
88 executions. In 1914 there were 8251 homicides and man-!
slaughters and 74 executions. In 1915 there were 9230 killings j
and only 119 executions.
The murder rate in the United States was given at from 10!
to 20 times greater than that of the British empire and other 1
northwestern Ivuropean countries. The murder rate in this
country for the period 1909-13 was 6.4 per hundred thousand of
population. In England and Wales it was 0.8, in Prussia 2.1, in
Australia 1.9 and in Italy 3.6.
The speaker then took up the subject of summary executions
and declared that since 1882 there had been around 4000 lynch
rui
ITU
ings in the United States—in 44 states. lie said the only other
place in the world where lynching was practiced was in certain
parts of Russia where there are inadequate penalties.
A fair inference, therefore, is that lynching is more prevalent
where the punishment does not suit the case, assuming that in
non-lynching countries it is adequate. It certainly is not in the
United States, and what the courts overlook executive clemency
supplies.
There is a disposition, as denoted by some of the conclusions
of the New York attorney, to lay most of the blame on the judges.
It is charged that our judges are weak compared to those of other
countries, in most of which the judge presides for life during
good behavior. These judges, it is related, give juries the benefit
of their experience and skill in straight-shoulder advice that stif
fens their backbones and attunes their minds to the stern demands
of justice. On the other hand, our judges are infantile and opin
ionless and allow the jury to be swept about by every emotional
wind of prosecutor and defender.
It is not fair to load the trial judges of this country with the
bulk of the responsibility for failure of crime to be properly pun
ished, for, if the logic we hear is well grounded, then it is tanta
mount to accusing them of responsibility for increase in crime
and in lynchings.
The United States cannot safely be judged along any line
from European standards. Conditions are vastly different, and
there are few procedures over there we would want to adopt, al
though some of them might be transferred with profit.
We have somewhat different ideas of justice. That is im
pressed indelibly upon the courts, who are at no time wholly free
from the influence of public opinion.
The responsibility must rest upon the public—upon the
agency that makes and unmakes judges and that directs them as
to the measure of justice.
If the public desires more convictions and fewer pardons it is
within its power to swell the one and diminish the other.
If the public turns determinedly against lynching, the cow
ardlv practice will lie stopped.
The public is in charge of the ship. If it steers into unsafe
waters, it must hear the blame. It cannot "pass the buck" to its
servants.
Tt must ever he so in a true democracy.

And New York Consumers Stormed
Two Speculators' Warehouse.
These times of corners on eggs and
flour by speculators and owners of re
frigerator plants recall the days of
panic in 1836-37, when banks closed,
and even the government was unable
to meet its obligations. Coal was $10
a ton and flour $12 a barrel, and
great was the distress that a meeting
was held in City Hall Park, the notice
reading: "Bread, wheat, rent, fuel! The
voice of the people shall be heard!"
Eli Hort, in Washington street, who
was holding 60,000 barrels of flour for
higher prices, was denounced and a
mob attacked his warehouse and de
stroyed much of his stock after he
had refused to «ell to the people at
the old price.
Then when the militia arrived the
crowd visited Herrick &■ Co'a. ware
house, and there they were outwitted
said:

"Boys, don't destroy the flour, but let
who can shoulder a barrel
of flour take It home to his family.**
To this all agreed and hundreds of
homes w'ore immediately amply sup
plied. Herrick saved much of his
stock and quiet was restored to the
town. J. C. Pumpelly in the New York

THE PILGRIMAGE.
It is a weary road we wend, through
this dim vale of tears; it harder grows
as we ascend, accumulating years. The
pilgrim murmurs
as he walks, in
voice of doleful
pitch, "I spoiled my
foot on yonder
rocks, and fell into
that ditch. The
dust gets in my
aching glims, I'm
pierced by grievous
thorns; the dogs
come out and bite
my limbs,
hook me with their
horns. All things

Thus through hia pilgrim
age he goes, the fretful mortal guy;
he's always thinking of his woes, and
so they multiply. I find this life a Joy
ous jaunt, admire its every curve; It
brings me everything I want—or all
that I deserve. For I am looking all
the time for cheerful things and gay,
and I consider It a crime to hunt for
grief all day. A noble painting cheers
my mind, inspires me for the game, and
I don't strain my eyes to find a fly
speck on the frame.
