The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1914-11-27

Mr.. Wilson was given two square
and open chances while here to ar
range to discuss this question.
First, before our entire executive
committee sitting In session.
Second, on the street by the writer
in the presence of Mr.. Wiley, OF
Springfield, Idaho; Mr.. Bancroft, OF
Idaho Falls, and Mr.. Denny, of Twin
Falls.
When Mr. Wilson appeared before
the said body we produced numerous
papers and kilograms substantiating
our claim, but the only document he
saw fit to produce was a letter from
the Fort people of Denver, proposing
to handle all of our shipments for 1Oc
a hundred if we would withdraw all
quotations from the market.
This would surely be fine thing
for the Fort people.
We tried, Furthermore, to get Mr..
Wilson to set date at which time he
would discuss these questions in the
potato-producing sections, but he fin
ally acknowledged that he didn't have
document to substantiate his claim,
and that the Fort people, in Denver,
had all these papers, and that he had
mot even seen them, claiming, how
, ever, that the same WAS general ru-
NOR.
note, Mr.. Editor, you say you are
interested in this matter, and are will
ing to give it an airing.
I We cannot cover this properly in
an article, but if your paper will print
the controversy back and forth, we
will pay for the printing of our con-
tributions, and they could be mailed
out with your paper as supplements.
We note that you desire to be instru-
mental in fixing the blame, and we
surely stand ready to assist you in
every way.
Under the rules of evidence in
America and England, motive enters
very largely into matters of proof,
and we wish to hereby call your at
tention to the fact that every employee
of this association is subject directly
to the grower, and the grower alone,

1852 to lead a regiment to the war
In the army he made splendid
record, the battle of Peach Orchard
giving him especial honor The wal
over he returned to the practice OF
his profession and soon stood at the
head of the bar of Indiana. In 1881
he was elected United States senator
In 1888 he was elected president OF
the United States. When nominated
the opposition press cartooned him
as wearing his grandfather's hat
which was much too large for him
But they outgrew that, for he soon
made it clear that he intellectually
wore a much larger hat than his
grandfather ever did.
When nominated he began to make
daily speeches to the crowds that
came to listen to him. The New York
World sent a special, gifted reporter
to report and wire his speeches. The
reporter had special instruction to
try to set some sentence that might
be used agains the candidate.
The reporter tried for five weeks
and then gave it up, wiring to his

His administration was a brilliant
one. The public business was hand
led with great wisdom and many mil
lions of bonds, drawing heavy inter-
est, were called in and cancelled.
But the marked great achievement
of his administration was his hand
ling of the difficulties with Chile.
A rebellion had broken out there
against the president of that republic.
He was driven into seclusion in his
own capital and the victorious rebels
demanded the recognition of the
United States. The navy of Chile
had one powerful iron-clad and the
feeling ran so high that there were
threats made that unless the United
States complied with the demands of
the rebel government it would send
their invulncrable ship up and bonn
bard San Francisco. Mr.. Blaine was
secretary of state AMI opened cor

took up the correspondence and in a

That President Harrison was de-

we believe, to that power in the east

ed to a degree, which caused him tC
be charged with GOODNESS, when in
truth he was most kind-hearted and
loveable.
When introduced to strangers he
was liable to turn his shy side to
them and cause them to go away with
the thought that he was colder than
a fish," A certain senator-Judge L
-, who held this opinion of him,
one day accompanied judge of ma
tional reputation to the White House
and introduced him to the president.
The three engaged in conversation
for several minutes. When about to
leave the senator said: "Mr. Presi-
dent, excuse me, but you are taking
long time to sign my bill" 1t was
pet measure which the senator had
succeeded in pushing through both
houses of congress.
The president replied: II have
worried good deal over that bill;
l fear it would be thrown out of the
courts as unconstitutional" The
Senator, who was also learned law
yer and judge, declared that he, too,
had thoroughly studied the measure
and that the president must be mis-
taken. WELL" said the president,
we are fortunate. We have a great
jurist with us, you are lawyer and
judge, I am lawyer in a modest
way. Let us elect judge - to the
bench and try the case before him,
you having the opening and closing
argument" This was agreed to and
the opening argument, with all court
formalities, was delivered.
In the same stately way the presi-
dent replied.
There were no further arguments.
The court decided that the presidents
argument was absolutely convincing
and the counsel against him, whom
he told the story, declared that the
decision was right.
Benjamin Harrison was born at
North Bend, Ohio, August 80, 1898.
He went through the schools, studied
law and began the practice of his
profession in Indianapolis.
He was the great grand on of that
Harrison who signed the
Declaration of Independence, and
grandson of General William H. Har-
rison who fought the battle of Tip
pecanoe and who was elected presi-
dent Of the United States in 1910
and died a month after his inaugura-
ton.
Benjamin Harrison's lineage was
altogether fine.

Need Revival Of Honestv.

l believe the reason we do not have
better work in this country is because
there is so much sham. We do not
go down into the bottom Of things
We need a revival Of honest. down
right, upright honesty. That is what
we want-right living. If it costs the
right eye. u with it. That is what
repentance means. 1t is not just mere
sentiment-going to meeting and
praying and having a good time. not
s%quandering our life according to the
Scriptures.
God is going to draw the plummet
line by and by, and he will have it
right. We may deceive our friends
and deceive one another; but let US
keep in mind we cannot deceive God.
If we attempt to cover up some sin.
some dishonest act. and come to God
with our prayers, he will not accept
them. They will not go higher than
our heads. 1t is more important to
live to please God than man.-Dwight

The Winning Power.

Christian arguments and appeals. re-
enforced by the power Of Christian ex-
emple, are most persuasive. and bring
many into the freedom Of the Chris
tian life. We should have more faith
IN the power Of appeals conveyed in
the pulpits and in the religious press.
But, best of all. whenever a true word
is spoken for Jesus Christ, an ally OF
the truth appears in the Spirit Of God
working upon the minds OF those who
hear, and the ultimate explanation OF
the fact that many are being led back
to religion is found in the unspeakabla
yearning Of the Holy Spirit. and In
his tender and constant work in win
ming the wills Of errant men to an &C
ceptance of the duties OF the only ra-
tional existence that is possible for
mantle life that is hid with Christ
in God. In view Of this great outreach-
ing and uplifting love of God for men.
we should not be surprised that multi.
tudes are being drawn back to religion.
while at the same time we ought never
10 intermit prayerful and earnest ef-
fort to reach with the gospel those
who 50 greatly need its quickening
and sustaining power.-zlon's Herald

Niagara Falls, Ontario.-The Next
can mediators at Niagara Falls. in
making formal announcement that
General Huerta was conditionally pre-
peared to resign, made the significant
declaration that the present revoIu.
ton, directed by General Carranza,
was a subject for consideration by the
mediators, and that without a settle
ment OF that feature of the Mexican
situation, the international questions
could not be solved.
There was no suggestion offered on
how the problem of the revolution
should be approached.
The constitutionalists, whatever
then differences may be up to this
time have been a unit in declaring
that they proposed to settle Mexico's
internal affairs themselves. The
sentiment expressed for C~arranza.
"Conquerors are not usually wont to
permit the conquered to dictate terms
OF peace" indicates the attitude Of
the reVolutionists.
The latest reports, ever from Mex
leo City, give assurance that the re-
ports of continued constitutionalist
military successes, particularly at
Saltillo, are correct.
General Huerta is prepared to
withdraw from the government on
condition that, at the time OF his
withdrawal, Mexico shall be politically
pacified," says the statement of the
Mexican mediators.
The federal government is mani
testify incapable of pacifying Mexico.
The constitutionalists say they will
do it only in their W way. Is there
a suggestion here that the United
States wishes to get rid of Huerta?
His mediators hope that the Ameri-
can government will first overwhelm
his enemies.
The Niagara Falls meeting seems
to be at a deadlock.
The ~phraseology of the invitation
to Gen. C~arranza to participate in
the conference was agreed upon by
the three mediators, and was mailed
to Senior Zubaran, the Constitutions
aist agent in Washington, through
whom Carranza communicated his
note suggesting that the Constitutions
alists be permitted to participate in
the peace undertaking. In their com
munication the mediators make it
clear that the terms upon which Con.
s~titutionalist representation will be
welcome are a declaration of an arm
istice by Gen. C~arranza in behalf of
the revolutionary forces and an &C
ceptance in principle of the program
submitted to the United States and
Huerta Governments.

EXEMPT LABOR
BY 2O7 TO 0
Amended PrOviso in Trust Bill
Passed Unanimously
ITS MEANING is IN DOUBT
Democratic Leaders Say 1t Does Not
Exempt Unions FROM Prosecution
Section of Measure Prohibiting
Mergers Is Passed.

Washington.-By a unanimous vote
the House adopted the amended labor
provision OF the antitrust bill. This
is the amendment which raj agreed
to before and by President Wilson on
behalf of the administration and by
Samuel Gompers as the representative
of the unions.
The labor advocates contend that
the amendments exempt organized la
Dor from prosecution under the Sher-
man antitrust act. The President and
his followers deny this.
There were 207 members of the
House present when the provision
came up for a vote. Frank e. Nor
rison and other officers of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor were present in the
galleries and got much satisfaction
from the vote.
Democratic leaders in debate de-
clared that section Z, the labor provi-
sion, does not exempt labor from pro-
secution under the antitrust laws.
Republicans insisted there was no
doubt on this score.
The House refused to adopt a
straight out exemption offered by
Representative Thomas of Kentucky,
as an amendment.
Section 7, IS originally reported,
read:
That nothing contained in the
antitrust laws shall be construed
to forbid the existence and opera
tons of fraternal, labor, consum-
ers, agricultural or horticultural
relations, orders or associations
instituted for the purpose of mu-
tual help and not having capital
stock or conducted for profit, or
to forbid or restrain individual
members of such organizations.
orders or associations from carry
ing out the legitimate objects
thereof"
To this section, with the consent of
President Wilson, was added the fol.
lowing:
Nor shall any such organization,
order, association or the members
thereof be held or construed to be H.
legal combinations or co~nspiracies in
restraint of trade"
An amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Nelson of Wisconsin, extend
ing the provisions of section Z to
buying and selling organizations Of
farmers also was defeated.
Section z also contains provision
directing that the antitrust laws shall
not apply to agreements among rail-
roads that receive the sanction of the
interstate commerce commission. A
number of amendments offered to this
provision were defeated.
An amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Ferris of Oklahoma (Dem.),
declaring all power companies and
pipe lines to be common carriers and
therefore subject to regulation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission was
ruled out on a point of order.
Section s of the bill prohibiting
mergers of corporations that lessen
competition and f%orbidding the forma-
ton of holding companies under pen-
atty Of fine and Imprisonment was
passed by the House just as it was
reported. All amendments to this
section were defeated.
