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.'
