LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Former Resident Writes From His Western Home Bovill, Id Aho, „ Feb. 18, 1920. Editor Jasper County Democrat. Dear Mr. Babcock: Encloseu find check for $4 for two subscriptions to your paper, one to myself and one to Alfred T. See, Bovill, Idaho. Politics is beginning to take root and growing nicely. Therv are some, we know, planting their seed upon the stony places, holding their place before the American people with a strong arm and a shriveled heart and conscience to the things that are right and needful to strengthen <fthe weak core that holds the world together. Such senators as Miles Poindexter, that seem to keep going—you will note, keeps going far from the folks at home—could not (intake good with his attack upon President Wilson and his grand efforts to reclaim the world. Senator Borah has not made any great effort in our home state of Idaho, but has become another wandering senator, w*ho must eventually return to us, as the prodigal son, and eat with the swine, politically speaking. We are trying a bunch of I. W. W’s. a few miles over in Washington. They have, it is claimed, trampled the laws of out country under their dirty feet. But what position or what standard can a true American, political party or group have who will say these dirty things of our or uny president? I don’t know what sort of Republicans you now have to old Jasper. They were once an egg-throwing bunCh, but would fight for their president. So muCh of the unAm erican strife can be fairly laid at the door of Republican enemies of our president who have thrown their slime where it has been caught up by the foreigner and the fanatic, and we are reaping the fruits in many courts today. When I was a child we were taught to- love and be true to our God and our country and love and honor our president, and the flag was just as red, white and blue if carried by one party as the other. I believe in President Wilson, and every (true Democrat will stick to him. Respectfully, HERBERT G. SEE.'

YES, KICK DEMOCRATS OUT

him in apparent sincerity that the price of clothing has been put up by the wicked Democrats, and yet more laborers are today wearing tailor-made clothes than ever before in their lives and they plank down enough of those 50-cent dollars to pay spot cash for them and then have enough left to buy their wives a fine up-to-date coat tft take the (place of the old frayed shawl she wore in the glorious days of the 100-cent Republican dollar. Then here comes the laborer who is just itching for election day to roll around so he can vote the Democrats out of power and all because they have not had enough sense to keep the price of furmiiture down, and yet he has just come from a furniture store" and purchased a new outfit for' the first time ip 25 years and paid for it in cash same 50-cent Democratic dollars. Oh, yes! He is mad —mad all the way through—back for him and hie family to the good old 100cent Republican dollar times and perhaps to his three-legged stool and wobbly dinner table. - Well, it might be a blamed good thing for the next generation if he simply went back, only his children are 'becoming so accustomed to luxuries under President Wilson’s administration that ’ poor.

poor things, they would miss them so. Ah, me! Ah, me! ’Tis not only the laborer —now take the retail merchant. Gee, but he is sore at the Democrats. He is so sore that he will never soar any more, sir! He will look you squarely in the eye and tell you that the Democrats should be defeated because he can not for the life of him obtain merchandise enough to meet the demand. With a snarl he will tell you that he not now sell just any old thing and instead of booking it On six months’ time and then losing part or all of the account, he growls that now everybody pays cash. Yes, sir. The retail merchant certainly has a kick coming against the Wilson administration and when election day rolls around he is going right down to the booth and vote a straight Republican ticket so he can go back to the good old Republican days when his profits were smaller and he was forced to keep a small army of bockkeepers to keep track of his customers’ accounts who bought on credit. Now, there is the railroad mam -—you bear ihfm kick that he has had enough of It—well we will all believe'* him, for the poor, mistreated fellow surely has, By alt means 'he should certainly despise the 50-cent dollar and if there is anywhere in this country a single (or married, either) railroad man who is not thoroughly justified in never, never again voting a Democratic ticket, then I Should like to see the color of his hair. But what,about the farmer? Ah, there is the fellow who should simply snort with anger whenever he hears the ugly, nasty, despicable word, “Democrat”! Yes, sir! Under Republican rule the farmer’s prayer was: “God save us,” but it remained for the Wilson administration to save them by adding to their wealth twice and thrice fold. The farmer, in his distressing desire to beat ’ the Democrats this, fall should shove his income tax receipt into the ballot box—but stay—hadn’t he best keep it as a souvenir of the 50-cent Democratic dollar times? If the Republicans win he not soon again have enough money to come within the requirements of the income tax law. Ah, yes! The poor, down-trod-den farmer has a grievance against the wicked Democrats who maoe him rich, rich! Take for example, Henry Marshall, who owns newspapers in this community—didn’t he recently sell a farm for SBT,OOO in 50-cent Democratic dollars and'wouldn’t he have jumped at an offer of $40,000 for this same farm under McKinley’s, Roosevelt’s or Taft’s administrations? And isn’t he just seething .with indignation agaimet President Wilson’s administration? Why, he simply thinks it appalling to even hint at continuing such an administration in power. Then there is “Bill” Robinson,"

WEDNESDAY, FEB. S 3,

his “Comment’’ editor, who clips most of his “comments” from encyclopedias and his editorials from the Philadelphia Ledger—now “Bill” is just crazy to defeat the Democrats, although he is now enjoying the greatest prosperity of his sweet young life. Now he wears kid gloves and no socks, green vest and tight pants and instead of smoking a corn-cob pipe as in the old Republican days at Fowler, he now luxurates in box upon box of pure Egyptian cigarettes daily. These Democratic days are vastly different for “BHy’ than those days if lean plucking at dear old Wheatfield. Every voter in every walk of life is ‘enjoying so mudh prosperity at this time that the proper thing to do to make dead certain sure that he will not be bothered with it again soon is to vote against the derned Democrats this fall. *

Near East Situation Now “Most Desperate in World,” Says Hoover. Herbert Hoover, who has now become a memWw her of the Ex- ' ecutlve C° m ' mlttee of Near East Relief, which Is carIng ror nearly menian and Syrian refu- ® and who, & Underwood. Herbert Hoover. « * ny w speaks with authority when he tells of human suffering, says In a formal statement: “In my opinion, the situation -n the Near East Is the most desperate In the world." Mr. Hoover has sent a letter to Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer ux Near East Relief, 1 Madison avenue, New York, In which he says: “In accepting your Invitation to become a member of the Executive Committee of the Near East committee, I do so with reluctance, but out of a sense of duty towards one of the most difficult situations In Europe. Until some political settlement can be obtained for the Near East and some government established in responsibility for the care and .epatriqtion of the Armenian population In the Caucasus, this mass of people must live sheerly by the chanty of the United States. There are in the Caucasus approximately 1,800,000 Armenians, of whom 800,000 are entirely destitute —refugees from Turkey—and amongst them a tremendous mass of children. “I cannot too strongly urge upon the members of the committee and their supporters the critical necessity of concentrating every possible effort to sup- . port Colonel • Haskell’s administration in the amounts that he requires; otherwise we shall witness ene of the greatest tragedies of the entire war."
