ton on Sunday last Governor Alex
ander again built that north and

urins oe the Lewiston Tribune.
Alter fixing the cost of the con-
struc.:on of the 100 miles at $4,000

road. the governor launched this

Carl A. Valentine, banker of Poca-
tello, has returned from Des' Moines,
Iowa, where he identified a man in
the Iowa pentitentiary as one who
shot him in a holdup about two years
ago. Police and detectives have been

tines assailant since the holdup, and,
through the efforts of a detective
agency, the man was located in the
Iowa prison.
At the time of the holdup, Mr..
Valantinve was returning to his house
from his garage. He resisted the
highwayman for short time until he
was struck on the head with gun.
A diamond ring was taken from his
finger and he was ordered by the rob-
Der to enter the house. Ae he was
mounting the steps of his residence,

taking effect in the hip and the other

LABOR UNION TYRANNIES

These are days when the individual
members of some so-called labor
unions should be doing some think
ing for themselves, or their unions
will so net or later come to grief.
In England, while the very life of
the empire is hanging in the balance,
some of the unions have sought to
enforce their rules about hours and
wages upon firms engaged in manu-
featuring army supplies and NUM-
lions of war
Lord Kitchener had to interpose
and tell some walking delegates that
if their unions did not rescind some
orders they had put out, within few
hours, the chiefs would be stood up
against wall at sunrise next morn
ing and shot full of holes. Certain
unions in Oregon are trying to defeat
a bond issue of several hundred
thousand dollars intended for road
building, because the authorities will
not agree in advance, to pay the
laborers that will be required on the
roads SO per day for an eight hour
day.
This, too, when the purpose is to
give idle men who are now living on
charity a chance to work.
In this city, we know of some men,
who having saved a little money,
opened restaurant to make larger
salaries by working day and night.
They declined to submit to the
rules the union laid down for their
government, explaining that under
such restrictions they could not keep
going.
In front of the place three sturdy
loafers stood all winter, intending by
their presence to give all passers by
notice that the restaurant was not a
union restaurant.
That sort of performance is a
definance of every principle of our
free institutions, and if the peace
officers and courts would do Their
duty such men would be working
more than eight hours per day on the
roads and for less than SO.
1t was decreed long ago that man
should earn his bread by the sweat
of his face, and that decree cannot
be changed.
Our country is different from Other
countries because under it's laws all
men are supposed to be protected in
any legitimate thing they please tc
do.
The idea that something can be
got for nothing and that through ar
bitrary rules issued by an irresponsi
BILE organization, those who have say
ed a little shall be compelled tt
divide with drones, will have to b.
given up.-Goodwin Weekly.

THE WORTH OF A NEWSPAPER

An appreciation of the local news
paper and of what its editor es for
the community is well expressed in
an article we have noticed in some of
the exchanges credited to ex-Gover-
nor Francis of Missouri. He once
said the following of newspapers:
Each year the local paper gives from
$500 to $1,000 in free lines to the
community in which it is located. No
other agency can or will do this.
The editor in proportion to his means
does more for his town than any
other ten men and in all fairness he
ought to be supported, not because
you like him or admire his writings,
but because the local paper is the
best investment community can
make. 1t may not be brilliantly ed
tied or crowded with thought, but
financially it is of more benefit to the
community than the preacher or
teacher Understand me, | do not
mean mentally, and yet on moral
questions you will find most of the
papers on the right side. Today the
editors of the local papers do the
most for the least money of any peo-
pie on earth. "-Shoshone Journal.

the folks at Chicago, and was I'M

rather abruptly. He was minus his
