LOOKS DARR rom LABOR.

Until recently the writer has been
member Of a labor organization for
years and as member OF that or.
ganizaiton have been both an en-
ployer and employee. We have been
In a position for this reason to draw
conclusions as TO Its benefits to labor
and what detriments to the employer
unionism may contain. 1t Is safe to
admit that generally speaking there
are good and sufficient reasons why
unlonism, especially In the skilled
trades, Is an advantage TO both the
employee and employer, where the
unions are conservatiyely conducted.
OF course 1t Is not popular TO ad-
vance the idea that there Is labor
war for fear 1t will stir up class
hatred. This Is condition and not
a theory, with which our country has
to deal with. In the West there are
two forces lined up for the ARRAY,
and IL begins to look as II one Of
those organizations are sooner or
Cater liable to meet with annihila-
tion. There IL war to the death be-
tween the capitalistic mine owners
on the one hand and the Western
Federation upon the other. 1t is
useless to try to ignore this condi-
tion. No doubt this organization
has at times carried their power to
4 tie extreme when they were In u po-
sition TO do so. On the other hand
when the mine owners gained con-
troll, after long and bitter labor
war, the pendulum swung Just as far
the other way.

yITUPERATIvE ABUSE.

----
Those who desire TO see tair play
will not take very kindly to the ex.
IRENE criticism OF the former syco-
plants of the president. In fact
their evident desire to pound him in
the ground is very liable to react and
make him greater here in the eyes
OF the public than he has been In
the past. The American people
pretty generally give Theodore
Roosevelt the credit OF being honest,
for all many think he has been play
ing to the galleries In very spectac-
ular way. The enemies OF the presi-
dent In his own party are now in tie
saddle, and IL is only a question of
who has the greater fund OF sarcasm
at their command to be able to say
the meanest things. Some OF the
men, who few months ago had set
the president upon pedestal and
were bowling down In worship, are
now bunting through the English
vocabulary for epithets, and nothing
Is too mean and malicious for them
to say and print regarding him. The
most noticeable case OF this kind
which has come under the observa.
tion OF the writer Is Ex-Governor
Black, OF New York.
1t will be remen. bered that this is
the gentleman who placed Roosevelt
In nomination about three years ago.
10 this speech Black extol!ed the
president In such terms that Il must
have been nasueating to Roosevelt
himself. In presenting his name
Black said In substance that Roose.
welt was veritable God of War, a
man of blood and iron, and eulogized
him as 1.-THE highest living type OF

The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-12-26

The Recorder believes 1t has been
fair in its comments upon the spec
tacular acts of President Roosevelt.
1t has never criticised him for IA lack
of honor, and has tried to give him
credit for his recommendation where
credit was due. The worst this paper
has said of him is, that he has played
too much to the galleries, and in his
attempted trust busting he has tried
the culprits in the newspapers before
they we're tried in the courts. If
the blackguards In his own party
wish to see Roosevelt eliminated as a
national character they are taking
the very opposite course to see a
consummation OF their desires.

GUARANTEED DEPOSITS f!
The Commoner Gives Bryans
Plan to Protect Depositors.

The plan Of the guaranteed DanR Is
simply this. Statistics show the
average loss TO depositors to be very
small, taking all the banks together.
But the depositors are afraid because
they do not know much about the
affairs OF any particular bank. Inc
postmaster general, in Recommending
the postal savings banks, called at-
tention 70 the fact that large sum
OF money Is sent back to the govern
ment banks OF Europe by people who
are afraid TO trust the private banks
here and Mr.. Wanamaker has been
quoted as saying that a large snm is
kept in boarding and hiding places IN
this country.
II this sum can be drawn into the
banks and thus be put into channels
OF trade It will relieve the stringency
more effectively than anything else.
The postal bank will do this to
limited extent, but not completely
for, in the plan proposed the depos'
itors will be limited as to each per
son, and there will be no checking
account allowed.
The system Of the guaranteed
banks contemplate the absolute guar
antee by the government OF such
banks as may voluntarily enter into
the system. In entering the system
they agree to reimburse the govern
ment in proportion to their deposits
for any losses incurred by the govern
ment in payment OF depositors IL

years the average loss among nationa
banks has been less than one. tentf
Of one per cent OF deposits, and, az
we have passed through two panic.
in that time, it is not likely that The
average loss will be greater during
the next forty years.
The government by its guaranteed
makes the bank deposits equivalen
to government bonds, and yet it as
sumes no real risk because 1t has tn,

OF congress have stood as a stone
wall against any such innovation.
The people are beginning TO see for
themselves that a tariff wall, which
permits trust TO sell their CON-
rnodities In foreign countries for less
money than the same article Is sold
10 the United States there Is some
thing radically wrong. The people
can see no reason why trust made
article can be sold to the dealer In
England and then shipped back 10
the United States for less money
than the trust will sell the article 10
home dealers.
We believe the resolution passed by
the democratic committee will have
salutary effect. This committee has
taken the initiative In this reform.
To the contrary the republican party
has refused u pass a law requiring

Is prima facie evidence that there Is
no desire among the leaders OF the
party 10 divorce their party from the
influence Of the trusts and the pre-
datory rich. BY their failing to pass
such beneficial laws, II Is evident
that they expect TO again 90 into a

NEEDE d CHANGE.

At the last meeting OF the nation.
al committee OF the democratic party
a resolution was passed which may
have far reaching effect upon the
political campaigns OF the future.
The resolution was In favor OF pub

The contributions OF individuals may

Unless the administration felt I'M

would have enforced the criminal

most frequently urged to this plan Is
that the state banks would suffer by
competition.
This is a confession, hrst, that the
depositor wants absolute security
and second, that the state banks 90
not give absolute security, IL wouio

would put the interests OF the stale
hanks above the interests OF the oe-

But the answer to this argument Is
that the state ought to provide SIM

state hanks ought to be permitted to
