SAVES SONS SLAYER

Only the interference Of Mrs. Annie
Katz last night saved Benjamin Heimo-
WITT. of So Willctt Street, from lynch
ing at the hands of mob after he had
run over and killed her three-year-old
son Louis. The child had wandered
away from his mother in front Of their
home, at 237 East Third Street, and
walked directly into the path Of the
wagon Heimowitz was driving
A crowd soon surrounded the driver
with cries Of Lynch HIM" Choke
HIM" and Kill him. But Mrs Katz,
recovering from the daze which had
come over her as the boy was knocked
down, rushed into the crowd and said:
This man may have a family. lie
didn't intend to run over my boy. Let
him alone"

eRAspINe At THE SHADOW

No unexpectedly IL he is mar.
Tied-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace. but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
of mayor; is not the employment Of
the dairyman a far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of q postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the

voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm

Be 1t said to the credit of woman
hood that 1t is not, as a rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; 1t is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Now lay me down to Sleep

the daughter who hopes to reign as

AS TO JUDGE DOUD

7 Judge Doud's decisions are a sub
ject of profound study in local circles.
Sour statement during the campaign
that he would not be carried away
by excitement and public clamor, nor
be found binding people over for trial
for things that never happened-that
ne would have to "be shown" before
the county in expensive liti-
cation is still acknowledged to be
true.
1t is also acknowledged that no
body can tell in advance of his de-
cisions what will be done about a
given matter. One man, charged with
striking another with his fist with
out provocation, was fined $50, and
the large amount of the fine spurred
him to appeal the case to the district
court where he won at county ex-
pense.
Another man, charged with assault
with a gun, and the assault being de-
tended on the ground of there being
some provocation, was discharged. A
third case of assault in which gun
was displayed, but not fired, receiv-
ed discharge and another case
where man was charged with hav-
ing an argument, abusing the man
who differed with him, calling him
names that no selfrespecting man will
submit to, and then knocking him
senseless with the handle of pitch
fork, was dismissed, with the admon-
ition from the court that the man
who was knocked down was lucky
that the tines were not used instead
Of the handle.
A fellow applied for a permit to
buy pint of alcohol for mechanical
purposes, and a few hours later was
in rooming house drunk
and disorderly. He was fined $500
and six months in jail, and fellows
who drink and those who want to
rink think it was enough.

INSPIRATION Of
THE COUNTY FAIR
By Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on new power--that is the inspira-
ton Of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence Of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice Of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is good chance to spend q
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth Of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process Of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
ture where nature is parading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights Of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at profit? Take the blush
ing Elberta, for example-they were
fed to the hogsaby the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of a
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast Of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
1t is also we'll to remember that there
is market side to agriculture that
does not reflect it's hardships In the
exhibits at county fair.

ANNUAL MEETING
OF AMERICAN
PLOWMEN
National Farmers Union Renders un-
selfish Service to Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will
hold its annual convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
will round out the eleventh year OF
its activities in the interest of the
American plowman. When that con-
vention is called to order every farm
er in America should pause and bow
his head in honor of the men gath
cred there to render a patriotic and
unselfish service to agriculture. That
organization, born in the cotton fields
of Texas, has grown until geograph-
ically 1t covers almost the whole of
the United States and economically
1t deals with every question in which
the welfare Of the men who bare
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. It has battled for better
marketing system, rural credits, cheap
money, diversification, scientific pro-
duction, agricultural legislation and
has carried on its work of education
and cooperation in season and out.
The Farmers Educational and CO.
operative Union of America brings
the question of organization squarely
before every farmer in this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by Others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class of
business. They have better securities
and pay higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry. They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
of people. The farmers can only &C
quire such influence in business, in
government and in economics as will
enable them to share equitably the
fruits of their labor through organiza-
ton and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.

MUNICIPAL SKATING RINK

! AS stated elsewhere in this issue,
the fair association almost completed
a skating rink and swimming hole
while making the fair grounds, and
the city councils have been making
a city park adjoining the rink. Cur
iously enough, the rink and swim
ming hole were made early, but they
have just been discovered.
The fair association is an organ
ization working for public good in
their organization, and the city coun-
Gil is another organization serving
the people through another organi-
cation. Between the two they have
made the fair and the city park, and
both are for public good.
The community as a whole owes
lit to the young people to give them
Il good wholesome amusements, and
the lack of such things constitutes
one of the sources of anxiety to par
ents, and annoyance to youth. The
dearth of good healthy, wholesome
exercise and fun, is responsible for
much that is deplored but not yet
provided against.
We advise the youth of the town
not to loiter around the trains at
the depot; we differ as to the effect
of attending the picture shows and
the dances; we ring the curfew to
send them home at 8 and we threaten
them with prosecution if they go
out raiding flowers. We tell them
/ it is not safe to go swimming or
skating on the rivers. and most of
the time there is no chance anyway.
For short time in the fall there
is slick ice on a slough or two, and
a little near the railroad tank, with
water flowing over and spelling it
in spots every few hours.
| Winter skating is one of the most
inexpensive of amusements. Com
pared with dancing, or any kind of
games that are practical for all to
take part in, skating leads for econ
|omy, healthfulness and wholesome
ness, and certainly all three are de-
sirable.
/ Very few persons can swim. Very
few are finding any way to learn.
Pa month ago boy was drowned at
the fair grounds because he could
not swim and because the swimming
hole was not equipped for safety.
Two weeks ago a strong man lost his
life in the community because he
could not swim, and two or three
others escaped only by sheer luck,
If the citizens want the municipal
rink and swimming hole, the fair as
sociation will probably be willing to
furnish the grounds and the council
the operating expense. If it is done
it should be prepared now, for it
will be easier to get the work done
in August than in October when beet
and potato harvest absorb all the
men and teams available. There is
just little grading to do, and the
city main should be extended, and
a big fine rink would be ready for
the skaters.

POLITICAL GossIPs


When one class Of people has any
thing to say, it has become largely
the custom to make political issue
out of 1t instead of a friendly discus
sion, to print 1t In law book instead
OF newspaper and to argue 1t be-
fore a jury instead of to settle it in
the higher courts Of Common Sense.
AS a result, political agitators, polit-
ical lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics and dissension, selfishness, in
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
in public affairs, for when the low,
damp, murky atmosphere of misun-
derstanding envelopes public thought
1t breeds political reptiles, vermin,
bugs and lice which the pure air of
truth and the sunshine of understand
ing will choke to death.
We have too many self-appointed
interpreters of industry who are in.
capable of grasping the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No bust
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-right or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon MISUNDERSTANDING.
for public opinion Is more powerful
than Kings sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
class hatred prevail, power gravitates
into the hands of the weak, for dema-
gogues thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
middleman-the political gossip-and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers of business sitting
around the table Of industry and talk
Ing 1t over with the people. Inter
change Of information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
to success in business as interchange
In commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under
stands. Away with political interpret
ers who summon evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to
prey upon the welfare of the people
In the name of my Country"

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst of
controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled "gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
riculture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of century we
have fought many duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart Of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port of Uni
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity.

lion.
On the headwaters of the Black
foot river, near Henry, in Bannock
county, the Blackfoot reservoir was
built by federal appropriation to fur
nish water for the Fl. Hall Indian
reservation occupied by the Sho-
shones, Bannocks and Lemhi. This
was to take the place of or supple
ment the water already supplied from
Snake river through The Idaho canal
dumped into the Blackfoot river ten
miles above Blackfoot, and conveyed
to place about two miles above
town where it was again diverted into
canals. The Blackfoot reservoir sup
plies all the water needed for the
canal system constructed on the res
lervation and more, so the waters
heretofore drawn through The Idaho
canal are not needed in the system.
At present they have all the water
the canals can carry, the Blackfoot
river is carrying its full capacity and
about 10000 inches of it are flowing
into Snake river for use on the Mini
doka and Twin Falls projects. The
Idaho canal is drawing about 5000
inches from Snake river.
AS we go to press a meeting is
in progress at Idaho Falls, represent
ing perhaps 80 canals on Snake river
and the several government projects
already mentioned. About 800, 900
inches of stored water is flowing
down Snake river from Jackson Hole
and 10000 inches from the Black
foot.
The meeting is trying to devise
ways to keep all the water engaged
in beneficial use and at the same
time to honor the decreed rights. An
effort is being made to borrow from
the stored water $4,000 inches for
ten days, to be presented free to the
new settlers who are without water,
and to have it paid back between the
fifteenth of August and the twentieth
of September by any and all canals
having water which they are willing
to donate to the needy The Water
Users association offered to guaran-
tee the repayment of the $4,000
inches If enough canals would sign
an agreement, to enable them to de-
liver it. Each company signing the
agreement would thus be subject to
draft for water during that period if
they had any in their canals, A large
number of them signed on Wednes-
day and it was hoped that enough
more would be secured Thursday
morning to float the loan"

cession 1t would be discouraging and
a lot of people would quit farming,
or lose money at it, SO Providence,
or whoever manages the weather,
will probably give us plenty of water
for few years long enough to en-
able us to get these things built, and
then scorch us again. In the mean
time we might be raising diversified

things. 1t may be long time before
We get any more willow furniture

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

| At the preliminary hearing of John
Cotton, charged with assaulting Sgd
dney Asborn, held Tuesday and Wed
nesday, the evidence showed that the
two men had difficulty about the
management of water ditch in May,
and Mr.. Cotton and his grown-up son
and Mr.. Osborn were in the field
together when harsh words were
used. Osborn, realizing that trouble
was liable to develop, said, well,
brother Cotton, we'll not use this
water together any more" or words
Ito that effect, using the expression,
Brother Cotton" Cotton evidently
Mid not consider it friendly express
sion used in sincerity, and rebuked
Osborn for it and added some
Iepithets. Osborn started for Cotton
and Cotton knocked him down with
his pitchfork, striking him on the
head and rendering him unconscious
NOsborn testified that he was confined
ITO the house for week as the re-
suit of the blow, and that he still
suffers dizzy spells from it; that a
physician advised him that an opera
ton might become necessary to re-
lieve him.
Judge Doud dismissed the case and

SILVER SPRINGS NOT DAMAGED

The Times-Union of yesterday pub
lished report that the Daylight
Line vessel Silver Springs had been
badly damaged by an explosion while
at her dock in Palatka
AS matter of fact, the explosion
was on another gasoline driven boat,
lying close along side, and the Silver
Springs Immediately backed out into
the stream, but not, however, before
the paint had been scorched on that
side, which will necessitate the paint
ing Of the outside of the vessel as
soon as spare day can be found for
she will not miss trip.
Mr.. Carmichael, as soon as he saw
the article in the Times-Union, tele-
graphed that paper for its authority
and correction, and ample apologies
were made today in a prominent space
and position, giving the name of the
papers informant, who sent in the
information over the long distance
phone. Mr.. Carmichael thought the
erroneous information was the work
of competitors.
