DRIFTING TOWARD SOCIALISM

The general public will not with
commentator the attitude taken by
Attorney e. F. Richardson, who has
disassociated himself from further
work as attorney in the defense Of the
Western federation officials in the COM
ing Idaho cases. Attorney Richardson
gives as his reason that he is wholly
out OF sympathy with Attorney OAR
row ana his socialistic proclivities, The
latters closing speech he characterizes
as "enough to hang any man regard
less of his guilt or innocence"
Darrow's speech was highly socialis-
tic and the verdict in Haywood's favor
is considered to be socialistic victory
and as such IL is certain to be produc-
tive of evil results. There is a report
of break between Haywood and Moy-
er over the preparations for the DEM
onstrations which are mostly, of a So
cialistic character. It Is apparent that
conservative labor leaders do not ap-
prove of this drift toward socialism.
but II does appear that Haywood is
about to be carried off his feet into the
socialistic camp Even his best friends
have noticed It as the word Of caution
given by Attorney Murphy at the close
Of the great trial is witness, In his
greeting to Haywood Murphy said:
"Bill. in this hour of your great tri-
umph be humble and thankful"
But the appearances are that Hay
wood is rather being carried away with
the radcalizatin of that wing of the la
Dor organization that is rapidly being
carried toward socialism. Such a pro-
nounced movement will prove detri-
mental to future trials of Meyer and
Pettibone. Meyer sees this and Is
breaking against 1t. Richardson sees
1t and does not care to be associated
with what is certain to prove disas-
ferrous in the end.

THE potato" said Professor Graf,
sis. increasing in value as a crop IN
the Northwest and I am sure that in
a few years 1t will rank among the
first crops in Importance. AS soon as
the alcohol distilleries are establishes
the farmer will always find market
for his potato crop.
Experience and observation both
lead us to the conclusion that Just as
much Importance should be attached
to the matter of proper selection of
tubers for the potato crop.
In digging potatoes, it is often
noticeable that with little hills grow
ing near each other one hill will have
a large number of tubers, uniform in
size. while the other may have a few
ill-shaped tubers. A tuber from the
vigorous productive plant, though 1t
may be the only small tuber in the
HILL would possess and transmit the
characteristics of its worthy parent.
Likewise the only large tuber from a
/ weak hill would inherit the tendencies
Of its parent. To Judge hereditary ten
denotes we must know the character Of
the entire hill and the vigor Of the
plant; that is, the whole plant must be
taken as a unit for selection. The
proper time to select potatoes for seed
is at digging time, not in the spring
from the pit or bin" 5

iat3 The VERDICT.

The verdict Of the jury in the Hay
wood case is now known. There was
bound to be keen disappointment,
whatever the verdict may have been.
But as pointed out in this paper sew
oral days before the verdict was
KNOWN in an editorial written with
this certainty In mind. the jury which
tried the case was one whose honesty,
integrity, ability and god citizenship
have expressed themselves, 1t will come
with as little grace on the part of
sthose whose minds were made up to
lthe contrary verdict, to complain of
their decision as 1t would for those
who are now pleased to have denounc-
way.
There is but one thing to do and
sthat is to let the Haywood case die
from the public mind as quickly as
possible. In the minds of some 1t will
linger as a dream-a terrible night
mare In the body polite of the state.
In the minds of others 1t must remain
las a living lie to the arguments and
.doctrines of that political school
(which teaches the doctrine of discon-
aent.
How can one of that class go to the
world any longer and say that a poor
man cannot get justice in this country,
or that the constitutions are made
sonly for the rich to use in enforcing
