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. BQ P . Ki 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 Style-Plus Clothes W I# W: » f •«Ü x « is?

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. sa m s». 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. pa 9a 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?" » All of the German newspapers and i 37 United States senators are "un- | alterably opposed to the league of | nations." _15S j ♦ * ♦ + * * * * * * * * * * * MARKETS The following market quotations j are the prices paid to the producer by the dealer and are changed daily, ; thus giving (he public the accurate ■ quotations in all classes of grain. ; produce and meats.
