THE PRESIDENT IMPRESSES
Nothing could have been better
calculated to promote good feel
ing and agreement between the
Allies than President Wilson's
trip to Europe at this time.
As long as the war lasted the
Allies were obliged to live in ami
ty. When nations are bound to
gether in a life and death struggle
against arbitrary power there is
no possibility of disagreement. All
separate national claims may well
be put aside until it is settled
whether the nations themselves
shall exist.
With the passing of warfare it
would be but natural that differ
ent policies and separate claims
should come to the front among
the allied nations.
And who could be as well'fit
ted to arbitrate any differences
of opinion among the Allies as the
United States, who wants nothing
for herself and has no stake in
Europe ?
And who could represent the
United States as well as her pres
ident, who months ago laid down
the fourteen great principles of
peace for the world ?
Europe has found President
Wilson a gracious gentleman, well
fitted to his high embassy. The
acquaintance he has made with
statesmen of the allied countries
will make his presence at the
peace board most effective.
America looks to him to pro
tect her interests and to assist in
the adoption of a settlement
which will mean lasting peace.
STANDARDS RAISING.
Graft is an ugly word and an
uglier thing. And we who have
lived in an era of aircraft scandals
and pork-barrel legislation are
inclined to feel that it is especial
ly characteristic of our day and
generation.
This is a mistake. Investiga
tion and comparison give proof
that during the last forty or'fif
ty years there has been a gradual
and steady improvement in the
public conscience.
Men of better character have
been elected to public office.
Standards of public morality arc
higher in the different state legis
latures. Though much is to be de
sired in the administration of gov
ernment, the old reckless neglect
of public rights and disregard of
common honesty is gone, we trust
forever. Men who in other days
robbed the public with impunity
and laughed at the powerlessness
of Jaw, would in our day face the
strong probability of bolts and
bars i nd a disapproved pattern of
stripes.
The millennium is far away.
But slow and tortuous as the
course of American polities may
seem, it is headed in that direc
tion. We have a firm faith that
as the years pass graft and cor
mption will be more and more
discredited, and public service
will be increasingly based on
standards of right and honor.
CONGESTING THE CITIES.
It is reported that many of our
returning soldiers and sailors in
stead of going back to their homes
are entering the large cities to
seek employment.
The large cities are preparing
to take care of their own return
ing men, and employers will nat
urally replace them in their old
jobs in preference to engaging
non-residents.
Two things complicate the em
ployment question in cities at
present. One is that employers
have been forced by the war-time
distinction between essentia] and
non-essential industries to lessen
their product, and must wait for
the indications of returning de
mand to increase it.
The second consideration is that
many women and older men have
taken the places of young
men,
and in many cases their services
cannot in fairness he immediately
dispensed with.
These conditions will make the
city a difficult place at present
for the young men from small
towns. It will be better for such
a young man to return to his own
home, where he is well known,
and take his old job, at least for
the time being.
It is notable fact that this bol
sheviki sentiment in the United
States is confined to the cities
where has swarmed the scum of
all foreign nations, and among
these elements we find the red
flag stuff seething. In the south
and in the rural sections of our
land anything of a bolsheviki
nature is not tolerated for a mom
ent. The better, cleaner element
of our foreign immigration finds
a more congenial home in our rur
al district and naturally drifts
there, and generally does an hon
orable part in developing our
, , rx . , ...
land. Our southern states, which
have not been contaminated by
the drift of lower European and
.Asiatic hie still aie thoroughly
dominated by the patriotic spirit
of our forefathers who gave the
United States of America to the
vYorid. As bolshevism is coun
tenanced, the true spirit of equity
arc! justice—true Americanism—
is discountenanced. The spirit
that took the United States into
this war and through her saved
the world from damnation is the
spirit that bolshevism would
kill -is killing today in Russia
and everwhere else it is given the
opportunity. Americanism and
bolshevism cannot live on the
same soil. Which are you ehoos
mg?
Ask any American soldier how
he feels toward »this bolsheviki
monster, and you'll get the Ameii
can answer.

Items not intended to bit or
miss anyone in particular, but
just to remind you
That there is also satisfaction
in the lengthening of the days.
That the Allies will fix the
peace terms. Germany's only priv
ilege will be to sign them.
That whether or not we were
formerly too proud to fight, we
are now certainly proud of our
lighting.
That one of the kaiser's princi
pal pleasures has been cut off. His
advisers have determined that he
must not talk.
That if there's anything which
makes us gladder than the boy
back from the service, its the boy
who's coming.
That one sweetly solemn tho't
comes to us o'er and o'er: our tax
es will be higher now than thev
have been j^re
That it looks as if Pre3 ident
Wilson would have a full hand of
k ; H „. s anc [ queens to show down
on the peaçe table.
That if it is decided to sink the
German fleet, better select a few
German submarines to do it. They
have had experience in that line.
/ That, anyway, during the flu
epidemic the doctors who pre
scribed whiskey got more patients
than those who prescribed castor
oil.
That it's dirty work like the
misloeation of the north and south
highway through this section by
distorted engineering reports that
begets bolshevism—disrespect for
law.
That the etiquette books inform
us that a young man making an
evening call upon a young woman
should terminate the call at half
pas4 ten. But who reads etiquette
books, anyway.
That value is a matter of com
parison solely. For instance, a
plow is a useful and valuable im
plement. But if you have neither
land nor a horse, a plow means
but little to you.
That Ireland is said to be much
exercised about, her future. It-is
singular that she can consider her
future—one would think medita
tions upon her past would occupy
all her spare time.
That most men who swore off
smoking on New Year's have by
this time revived their dear old
pipes from the snowdrift to which
in the first frenzy of resolution
they consigned them.
That it was a rather unneces
sary stunt for the suffragists to
make a bonfire of President Wil
son's speeches. They only suc
ceeded in proving that the speech
es held "words that burn," and
that the rest of us knew long ago.
■ That those farmers whose lands
will be cut through diagonally
and otherwise by the cross-coun
try location of the north and
south highway % are beginning to
see that the damage will be great
er than the benefit they expected
from the highway.
Quick Cure for Croup.

Robert A. Hosley Deceased.
Forest, Idaho, Jan. 13. (Cor
respondence The Herald.)—This
community was shocked and sore
ly grieved at the sudden death of
our beloved neighbor and friend,
Robert A. Hosley, who was called
to the Great Beyond last Friday
morning, after a short illness.
Mr. Hosley was, horn July 22,
111. He lived
1871, at Aurora,
with his parents until July 4th,
1892, when he was united in mar
riage to Miss May Etta Leseo, of
Wilson county, Kansas. After
marriage he lived for a time in
Kansas, then moving to Illinois
and thence back to Kansas, where
they remained until the fall of
1902, when they came to Forest,
where they have since resided.
To this union were born 12 chil
dren ; eight boys and four girls :
Clarence A., of Lisco, Neb. ; Ada
Farge, of Portland ; Mamie H.
Pinkham, deceased; Grey, David,
Harry, Eva, deceased; Ralph.
Tim,Poland, Pearl, all of Forest.
Mr. Hosley during his residence
here served in the capacity of
stage driver for four years, where
by his promptness and courtesy
he won the esteem of all who had
dealings with him. He was a
member of the Odd Fellows, W.'
O. W. and Rebekah lodges, and
served as justice of the peace here
for several years.
Besides his wife, father and
children, Mr. Hosley leaves many
friends 1o mourn his loss. He was
devoted to his family, and by his
lovable character we shall remem
ber his deeds. Let us take conso
lation in the thought—"whom
God giveth him doth He also
call."
Card of Thanks.
The family of the deceased ex
tend their sincere thanks to the
neighbors and friends, and especi
ally to Tom Mattenson, a cousin
of Mr. Hosley, for the many help
ful acts and kindly sympathy ex
tended in our hour of distress.
