ASKS CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE

Washington. Organized labor has

ed in the records the dissenting op-
inion of Associate Justice McKenna
to the opinion of the supreme court
of the United States, that the court
could not inquire into the circum-
stances surrounding the alleged kid
mapping of the three men. Senator
Hepburn then secured an order for
the printing Of the majority opinion
Of the court.
The petition asks FOR the enactment
of such laws and measures as may
be required to redress the grievous
wrongs committed against Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, and to safe
guard and protect the citizens of this
country from legalized kidnapping and
deportations by administrative order
In the future"
The fact that these men had not
been in Idaho for several years prior
to the time they were arrested for
completely in the Steunenberg murder
is recited. II is declared that the de-
cision of the supreme court that 1t
could not inquire into the alleged
conspiracy of the governors Of Ida
no and Colorado" legallzes the crime
of kidnapping and puts in the hands
of corporate interests power by which
they may lay hands upon citizens OF
any state, tear them from their homes
and firesides. deport them to another
state and thrust them In prison, there
to remain without trial for months
or years, thus depriving citizens OF
their right to life and liberty without
process of law. The petition empha-
sizes the claim that the Western Fed.

THE JOURNEY OF LIFE

You will find this Journey OF life Is
not always what 1t seems, nor that
it lies all the way through verdiant
valleys and flowery meadows. 1t Is
not always bright with the sunlight
OF pleasure. You viii not find bed
of roses to reeline upon every time
YOU are weary Don't expect 1t. or
you will very likely be disappointed.
You will find that about the time
the path gets past the schoolhOuse it
switches Off into some rather rough
country. You will very probably
find some rough hills to climb and
some deep gullies to cross. The
briars will tear your nice clothes and
the stones will wear out your fine
shoes, and you will have blistered
heels and stone bruises in plenty, be-
fore you get through.
There is only one way to avoid
this. That is to sit down. a whin-
ing beggar by the roadside, despised
and self-desping. But II you are
going through you must brace your
self for hard climbing. You will find
plenty OF roses by the way, but they
grow among thorns, and ii you
would gather them you must not be
afraid OF few scratches. All the
fruits worth having are near the tops
Of the trees. You can have your
game suppers and your quail on
toast. too, but the game is wild and
the birds roost high. and you can't
put salt on their tails to catch them.
You can have all this, we say, but
lust as likely as not when you get it
YOU will have no teeth to chew it
with. so you mustn't build too much
on that.
Yes, young man, the glaciers OF life
are hard to climb, and you will never
make the trip without guide. The
name of the guide is Work lie
yourself. to him, young man, and he
will pull you through all right. He
is rough and ruggeg as all noun
taineers are, but don't despise him
on that account. Don't despise his
homely garments; he is q brave,
true-hearted fellow, who has led
thousands safely through, and will
do the same by you il you will trust
him.

INTRODUCTORY

After an interim of nearly a year.
the writer again takes upon himself
the steady grind devolving upon the
editor and publisher of a newspaper.
He has (labbled in printers ink since
he was Ia years old and, after tear
ing himself away for a year to help
Uncle Sam fight Spaniards, published
a newspaper for seven years at
Franklin, Neb. After twenty years
on the sun-kissed, wind-swept
pairies, the woods of northern Wis
consin is an agreeable change. The
mast six months have been spent as
foreman of the Weekly Budget, which
is an integral part of this publica-
ton.
In purchasing and consolidating
the News and Budget, the new pub
Usher believes that he is not only
undertaking q profitable business en-
terprise. but that the transaction
will tend toward more harmonious
action upon the part OF the two fac
lions which we're supposed to have
controlled the respective policies OF
the two papers. 1t was through the
combined efforts of several persons
who had the interests of Ladysmith
at heart that this deal was brought
about. The former publishers OF
both the News and Budget have a
few libel suits on their hands and
these people thought it for the good
of the community that such frenzied
Journalism should be stopped.
The News-Budget will endeavor to
be found on the right side OF public
questions as they present themselves,
as it is absolutely free from any pO-
litical entanglements, and the editor
being practically stranger in the
community, the differences that have
existed between contending factions
in the past will have no bearing upon
it's course of action.
1t is right and proper that man
if he be a man, should stand ur anJ
fight If need be for what he believesitC
be right; but because he has aligned
himself on the side of one party OIL
faction on one question, is no reason

that is not much better than no kind
