THEY DESERVE NO MERCY.
Strenuous efforts are being made
to secure the release of seven men,
several of them ministers, who are
serving terms of 20 years in a south
ern federal prison for violation of
the espionage law. These men were
at the head of the socalled "Bible
'Students Association," organized by
German propagandists in the United
States for the purpose of fighting
the draft law. The association pub
lished books, leaflets and periodicals,
under the guise of religious works,
pointing out the biblical quotations
against war, and carried on a propa
ganda from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific oceans against Americans en
tering the war.
Under the guise of Christianity
(the German propagandists were
ready and willing to use any guise
or disguise to further their work)
these men spread the gospel of se
dition throughout the land- They are |
responsible for many of the "con
scientious objectors" who refused to
serve their country.
These men are not Christians, en
gaged in spreading the gospel of
Christianity and the teachings of
Jesus. They were employed by Gei;
man spies in this country, paid with
German gold that came' through the
office of the German ambassador, von
Bernstorff.
Real Christians, spreading the gos
pel of Christianity, do not sneak
through the country at night, leav
-ing propaganda on the porches and
door steps after their literature had
been refused the use of the mail. Yet
this is the way the work called "The
.Finished Mystery" was circulated in
the west after its sale had been pro
hibited in England, and in Canada
and the United States. Employes of
these men, now serving 20 year sen
tences, visited many towns in this
country, including Garfield, Pullman,
Palouse, Colfax and towns between
these points and Spokane, traveling
by automobile and having several
persons go through the residence dis
tricts at night, leaving the literature
upon the porches or door steps of the
homes. The very method of distri
bution of a book ordered not sold or
given away in the lands of the Allies
because of its tendency to help the
German cause, is sufficient evidence
that it was not a legitimate publica
tion.
Let the heads of this propaganda
remain in the federal prison as an
example to the thousands who deserv
ed the same punishment but escaped,
Their release would be a travesty on
justice.

IDAHO VS. WASHINGTON.
Idaho and Washington, lying side
by side and having many similar
features, form an interesting study
*>y using comparisons. Washington
is an older state than Idaho. It's
first settlement was made in 1811
while the first settlement in Idaho
was in 1842. Washington was ad
mitted eight months before Idaho,
having become a state in November,
1889 while Idaho was not admitted
until July, 1890.
Which state is the larger? We ;
venture that a majority would say, |
"off hand" that Washington is the j
larger state, but it is, in reality, much j
smaller than Idaho. The latter has j
83,888 square miles and is 490 miles |
long in its extreme length and 305 j
miles wide in its extreme greadth, ;
Washington contains 69,127 square
miles (14,761 less than Idaho) and is
340 miles long, in its longest part,
and its extreme breadth is 236 miles.
But Washington has more than
three times the population of Idaho,
the 1910 census giving Washington
1,041,990 while Idaho had but 326,594. j
But Washington has grown more
rapidly than Idaho in the past nine
years and the federal government's
census experts estimate Washing
ton's population on January 1, 1919,
at 1,692,167, while Idaho's population

Always gli
Washington, with three times the
population of Idaho, had but $866,
454,519, or less than double the
wealth of Idaho.
It costs much less, population, area
and wealth considered, to govern
Idaho than Washington. In 1917 the
budget for Idaho's expenses, as al
lowed by the legislature, was $1,
870,000, whi{e Washington's budget
at the same session, for two years'
; expense of the state, was $12,600,000.
! The legislature of the two neigh
boring states were in session the
J same length of time this year, the
; Idaho legislature adjourning four
j days before the Washington legisla
I ture adjourned. During the session
j just ended Idaho's legislature approp
i riated a grand total of $9,000,000 for
1 all purposes, while Washington's leg
islature appropriated $35,000,000 or
almost four times as much as Idaho's
legislature appropriated.
Thus it is seen that with three
times the population and less than
double the taxable wealth, and with
a smaller area it costs almost four
times as much to govern Washing
ton as it does to govern Idaho.
But Washington had no state debt
last year, while Idaho had a total
state debt of $2,818,750. Yet this
state debt is a very small item when
compared with the appropriations
for Washington for two years.

Germany has had many bitter pills
to swallow and the sweetest has not
been the surrender of the merchant
and passenger ships to the allies. The
United States gets eight magnificent
passenger ships ranging from 13,000^
to 52,000 tons displacement, and these*
are to be used to bring American
sgldiers home from Europe. The boys
have completed their tasks, they de
\ feated Germany and now German
ships under command of American
officers and manned by American
sailors, will bring the American sol
| diers home. It is the irony of fate.

Spokane lawyers are asking for a
new court house. What do the people
; of Latah county think of that. Spo
kane has a magnificent court house,
j costing, when building material was
50 per cent cheaper than now and
when skilled laborers got about $2.50
I to $3 per day instead of from $6 to
$7, as at present, the tidy sum of
$350,000. We wonder what Spokane
lawyers would say about Latah coun
: ty's court house if they think the
; Spokane structure is "out of date and
too small?"
