If there ever was a last Thursday in November which deserved nation-wide ob servance as Thanksgiving day, this Thurs day, November 88, 1918, is (hat day. No man is too eloquent to breath tin message of Tliankt'nlliiiss which should ascend from vert true Amerii an heart for the return of peace, thru which thia nation lias escaped the war burden of lost sons, that would have been Iters had the struggle prolonged "Ajid while the majority .f us are thus thankful that the loss of dear ones has not been the measure of our devotion to the great ideals of our land, we should not lose tight of, nor fail to think of those who have paid the price) and greater still should b our gratitude to those who have ltled and died of the ideal that gives up liberty and the blessings of peace, America has dedicated the lives of sev eral thousands of her sons to the cause for which the nation fought this car. Thej truly fought to save this beloved land from the aoourge of Pruasianism. And while we are diih thankful that the number of them who had to die was no greater than it is:l,,f ffmit ability and experience. we should too renieiiiMT in our tu"is I ne val iant deeds of the millions of allied soldier who fought our fight thru the long dreary years from 1!1 I to 101H. To ponder on all these things: should make us all truly thankful. The resignation of Secretary of the Treasury, William Gibbs JNfeAdoo, will be variously interpreted, no doubt, but there will be no difference of opinion regarding the work that he has done for the nation during the past two years. While as director general of the rail roads he has been subject to some criticism. as Secretary of the Treasury he has admin tstered his stewardship well. He has Ac monst rated that he is a big man, a man of calibre equal to any of his many great pre deeessol'S. , The greatest, and the most oft repeated structure laid upon him is that he wa tempting to do too much for any one nwm to accomplish well. That may be trim, but If he has made any grievous mistake the public generally has not been appraised of it. lie bat floated the greatest bond is sues in the history of nations. He has done this while directing the greatest aggrega tion of railroads on earth, and while a new t) stem of banking was being put in running order. Mis rise from comparative obscurity to a height of power second only to that of the President is another proof of the ability el the American people to furnish the men for any task the government of men can imp - . Perhaps the secret of Mr. McAdoo ability to accomplish the almost impossible is that lie has not hesitated to e,t to Ins distance, and to reeognijse their ability, nun wi are able to do big things Me has not been afraid to surround himself with men 60MPERS SAYS WAGES MUST NOT BE REDUCED teredo, Teaa.

Onlv maudlin senti- iap rather than a help will be his relation ship to the President. The Ameriean peo ple are not keen for dynastic succession. To eounteract this, of course, Mr. McAdoo's friends will point to his own record prior to his marriage to the President's daugh ter, his work as a lawver and a builder, and counts read to his record in the Cabinet. wss mw$ For the Bnt Quality of Commercial Printing Call at the Aram (Met Brussels Sunday, according to the Uatee correspondent on the Balgtaa front IDLE RUMORS There is almost no way in which a com munity any mone than an individual can protect itself against the rumor monger. lso it is hand to counteract the effects of such activity, save as time reveals the truth. Over in Payette, and on the Furitland bench, there have been a number of people who believed that Ontario was ttllea with Flu. These people in a number of instances telephoned local stoics and told of reports thev "bad heard." Of eoudse they belicv etl them, or at least played safe and remain ed away from this city. Two Ontario women, while in Payette last week, were told, while in one of the stores there, "that Ontario was eontaniinat inn Payette with the Flu, and it was from here that the Payette people caught it." Certainly this was not true, tho the one who said it no doubt believed it; or cN was guilty of deliberate); attempting to Is jure the business of Ontario firms. It is true that Ontario had a large number of eases of Flu, but no mors than any other town of this size in this section It is alho true that the local physicians can trace the origin of most of the cases here from outside points. Nam pa, Boise and Baker City are the direct sourees of seTsrsJ cases, particularly those amon; the w men on the drainage svstem. Likewise the illness m several families is traced to mem- !
