This body blow is from the Oregon
ian, an influential Republican paper:
"Historians of the future will recount
with contempt how the Almighty gave
the American people coal, ore, petro-
leum, timber and every other natural
resource in quantities never before par
alleled, and how this people, instead
of taking the good of what the Lord
had given them, imposed heavy taxes
upon the use of it, which they paid out
of their own pockets, while few priv.
ileged citizens and the inhabitants of
other countries reaped the benefit.
Nothing quite so ihiotic has been seen
in the history OF the world before, aud
yet we are in the habit of boasting of
our national shrewdness. Some of us
are shrewd, but it is not those who sub
nit to tariff extortion. While Mr.. Taft
was discoursing on fools, as he did last
Wednesday, he might have added a few
words about that vast category of them
who cheerfully pay tariff taxes for the
benefit Of the trust barons in America

The American people are very
apt to fall into the trap laid for
them by the agents of the trusts,
as they do not stop to fully weigh
the matter in it's true light, when
the subject is presented to them
in a way that conceals the true
motive. The following article by
brother Bates of the Parma Her

on the head, and who has the
courage to voice bis views,
should set every fairminded citi-
zen to thinking seriously on this
subject, and cause him to hest

FRIDAY. JUNE II. 1909
To Keep The Peace.

During the past few years an
effort has been made to adjust
all international differences by
arbitration, and several confer
ences of the powers have been
held at The Hague for this pur-
pose but the result of such DELHI
erations does not seem to have
accomplished the purposes in
tended as nearly all the nations
that participated in these meet
ings, and agreed to arbitration,
at once adopted a policy ofarma-
ment by increasing their standing
armies, erecting more efficient
coast defences and building of
great fleets of battleships; thus
showing their lack OF faith in the
agreement entered into by the
various powers at the peace con-
ference. 1t resembles very much,
the pledging of friendship and
future cooperation of a couple
of western desperados who in ex-
tending their hands in a grasp of
friendship, were very careful to
extend the left hand and at the
same time grasp firmly by the
right hand, the handle of their
trusty revolvers with the index,
or forefinger on the trigger and
thus be ready for instant action,
for they both knew that the
other fellow was lying and did
not intend to keep his pledge.
The following article from the
Scientific American gives the
most practical solution of tile
subject and ifadopted would solve
the problem.
There is a growing sentiment
throughout the world in favor of
arbitration with its concomitant
disarmament. The enthusiastic
promoters of the peace movement
call for the immediate institution
of an international tribunal and
the immediate reduction, if not en-
tire abolition, of ornaments and
military forces. These good peo-
pie, however. loose sight of the fact
that an international tribunal, if its
findings are to be of any value,
must have behind it some strong
physical force wherewith to back
up its decisions; put down with a
strong hand any opposition thereto,
and permanently preserve the
worlds peace. The mere reduction
of naval and military forces until
each nation maintains only what is
judged to be sufficient for the sup.
port of its own government in the
administration of its internal af-
fairs, would not meet the case; for
the several armies would be rela.
lively as strong as they are in their
present overgrown condition. More
over, should any nation disagree
with decision of the international
tribunal, it would be in a position
to repudiate the findings of the
court; and it is conceivable, nay,
even probable. thatthe parties in
dispute would resort to the final ar
bitrament of war. The possession
of their several armies, even in a
depleted condition, would breed dis
trust, and would constitutes stand
ing menace to the peace of the
world.

The Utah-Idaho sugar compa-
ny is busy circulating a petition
to Congress to retain the duty
now assessed on sugar, and, we
are sorry to note, are securing the
signatures of many democrats by
their specious statements that
inasmuch as the future business,
is a western business and the prof
fits and benefits will accrue to
western people, that we should
all stand together for the graft.
Graft is graft by whatever
name you may call it, and wheth-
er unearned money goes into
your pocket or ours, the princi-
pal remains the same. 1t is
robbery pure and simple ofsome-
body, and the fact that we might
benefit by it makes no difference
in the degree of the crime-for
crime it is.
Every man who signs that pc
tition now being circulated is a
participation in the robbery of
his friends and neighbors, of the
sturdy men and women who are
holding down a homestead that
they may have enough to sup
port their declining years,
and give a home to their child
rem, of the innocent children
whom we are teaching that
America is the land of Justice;
OF the infant nursing at its
mothers breast. Ii your name
is enrolled among those who are
petitioning Congress to still con-
tinue to authorize the sugar trust
to rob the people aren't you
proud of it2
The representatives of the SUI
gar men in this section, in asking
you to sign this petition, will tell
you that the sugar beet industry
in this section is a losing propo-
sition, and that they must have
Congress grant them a graft in
order to help out the poor farm
ers here. Do you beleave it2
The members of the sugar trust
are numbered among the million
aires and money barons OF the
world today. Not a single one
of them is in the poor house, or
working in a beet field for a liv-
ing. They are business men,
and business men do not con-
tinue to put millions of dollars
(even other peoples dollars) into
a losing proposition year after
year. The sugar business has
passed beyond the experimental
stage.
When they ask you, for whose
welfare they are so solicitous, to
sign that petition so they may
be able to help you out, just ask
them why they sell sugar three
cents a pound cheaperin Chicago
then they do in Nampa and pay
the freight in addition. If you
are satisfied with their answer
you should sign that petition;
for there is but one answer
