All who own sheep stand up. All right

that ten per cent of you own more thar

from the ninety; the ten suspect pres.
ence of assessor.
Now all you gentlemen who don I own
sheep and perhaps never well own up.
Comes now a mighty crush, rising five
times the power of the up stretch in
the 9TH inning of the Sunday crowd at
the Chicago White Sox park.
Which means for every sheep owner
there are several hundred that don't
own them.
Then who is entitled to the greater
degree of protection that the Boise
Statesman and several Weekly Blatts
yawp for with so much vermicelli
Drained inanity.
Who wears the clothes -who owns
the sheep. Some of US do both, so let
the plentitude be spread as equally as
possible. If it isn't protection. it's
privilege and the privilege to plum
der and that privilege belongs to the
small end and the rest of US, the large
end, are the SUCKERS.
But Oh. for labor; 90 per cent of the
work Of handling sheep in Idaho is the
business of Spaniard and Portugee. an
alien, a foreigner.
Our idea Of sheep owner is an ami
able gentleman with some capacity for
standing at a Haley or Boise bar but
far greater one for borrowing 80
much money from the banks that the
Industries that employ white labor have
not got any of this protection necessary
to even pike on. But the labor at the
manufacturing end. Shame, shame:

strike. Eight dollars a week and long
hours for family and all the protec

If it goes any place the boss gets it at
both ends, that's why he is boss. At
this end he gets enough for six cylin
der machines and luxuries like politics.
AT the other end he gets enough to
make little II year old girls work 10
hours day in i'll ventilated bells. In
high protected Lawrence he makes
other things besides cloth from Idaho
wool. He turns out anarchists, con-
'umptives and prostitutes, and he can
arrange down there, so out here we
cannot have wooden mills where thew
should be.
why not more protection for the
clothes wearers of Southern Idaho.
Why can't Mr.. Idaho Sheepman let his
leighbor have little of it. Because
he is really hogman.
