ject of boycotting, unani-
mously adopted. should mark a turn
ing point in the industrial and COM
mercial history of this city and valley.
All that has been needed to throttle
his vicious importation in this terror
lied town was the initiative of vigorous
and resolute leadership. 1t looks now
is u tnat leadership were Forthcoming.
The way to smash boycotting is to
land its ring leaders in Jail. 1t is a
violation of law and few are engaged
in fomenting it who do not know that
1T is. So long as it can be practced
with impunity and so long as weak
knced business men cover in fear at
the very mention of it's nninc. the club
will be used Tor all it is worth by men
who otherwise would not command II
moments serious attention.
Those who told the board of trade
committee that they doubted that there
was enough civic vitality left in the
community to make Il stand against
this tvrannouS recourse of mischief
makers We're unfair to the city ana
its people. The vitality is here. but
it has been latent No one has taken
steps to arouse it. The boycotters and
biacknailcrs have been allowed clear
field.
When our business men get tired
enough of such laWessness to stop it.
they can stop ii very easily. So long
rs they are content to suffer from it in
silence they deserve all the suffering it
iniiicts.
