RILED BY pAcIA CASE
Request Of U. S, Bitterly Opposed by
English.


London, Jan. 1S.-Fhe British gov
ernment probably will reply tomor-
row to the request of the United
States government that the former
Hamburg line steamship Dacia. which
now flies the American flag. be per-
mitted TO make one trip with cotton
from the United States to Germany
without the voyage being considered
a precedent establishing the right OF
Germans ships interned in the United
States to be transferred TO the
American flag and then. resume unin-
terrupted trade with Germany.
The opinion is general in Official
circles that Great Britain cannot
make an exception in this instance
The Dacia case has produced mark
ed impression in England 1t is gem
orally discussed in the streets by
men OF all classes, and the feeling
voiced against the note Of the United
States concerning the Dacia is much
more bitter than that aroused by the
American note concerning delays to
shipping, rs the definite case Of the
Dacia is far better understood than
the generalities Of the note.
There is increasing evidence that
the examination OF ships suspected
OF carrying contraband is being more
quickly carried out. Only four ships
are now being held in the British
Isles for prize courts. and but three
others are at present being detained
for inspection.

WILL CONTINUE FIGHT

Cleveland Members Of the Grade
Teachers association are not dis
couraged at the adverse decision the
Toledo appellate court decided against
them when Supt Frederick was dis
charged from contempt proceedings
because he refuses to employ members
Of the association.
One Of the teachers said;
";The ruling of the appellate corut
by no means ends the battle of Cleve-
land teachers for the right to unionize
to receive better pay, and to be pro-
tected from the arbitrary power OF the
superintendent and school board.
Il believe this court battle has edu-
Gated teachers and the public to the
need for legislation, which will give
teachers civil service and tenure of
office
1--WE teachers entered this battle to
find out Just where we stand. In the
process we believe the eyes Of the
public have been opened to conditions

are opposing another test, ordered by
the school authorities Of this city.
The teachers say this additional test
is contrary to law and that its real
purpose is disrupt an organization
they have formed to better condi-
tons. They ask that the legality Of
the order be pass ID upon by the
courts, and pledge themselves to
abide BY the decision. They show
that the subject they are to be ex-
amined in is covered in their perman-
ent certificate, which exempts them
from further examination of this
character The Central Labor Union
has appointed a committee to assist
the teachers whose wages in the
grade schools. Rev Thomas Archibald

present controversy, the local clergy

Lowest cost. complete security and

Employers who placed their insur-

idends were distributed to policy
holders on the first six months BUSH

HAVE THE FRENCH ABOLISH.
ED POVERTY

Tn the great European struggle the
people of France are proving to the
world the fitness Of their nation
to survive. Only few years ago it
appeared as though France had be-
come a hopelessly decadent nation,
lost in frivo1ity and immortality but
this now proves to have been only a
most superficial view Events now
prove that the French are a home
loving. enlightened and sturdy race,
devoted to the arts of peace and only
engaged in war for national preserva-
ton. The French have solved the
questions that come to every people
and are now well in the vanguard of
the race.
lit is her proud boast at the break
,g ont of the war, there was not an
,ble-bodied pauper within her limits
mot an individual involuntary out OF
york. This, of course, is a general
tatement, not to be taken too literal
y. But the fact remains that since
the fall Of the Empire and the growth
and development of the Republic,
France has made tremendous strides
and in world of depression was en-
Toying good times.
1t would seem that if France has
gone so far in the settlement Of the
wor1d-old problem of poverty that
her system of Government, Of indus
trial DEVELOPMENT and of distribution
of wealth should be studied by our
statesmen and writers. On the con-
frary we see very little in the public
prints and hear but little from our
public men regarding the French
method of dealing with the worlds
greatest problem. For after all the
adjustment of poverty is the chiel
concern Of the human race, and acad.
emic discussion of free trade and pro
tective tariffs. and other similar sub
Jects should give way to study oi
the conditions which exists in lane
that can even assert that involuntary
5dieness and poverty are unknown
within her borders.

CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED

A Boise business man returns with
the news that conditions are better
in this city than in several coast towns
which me visited. There's nothing
inherently wrong with Boise, all that
is needed is revival of the old
Boise spirit. We must not NOPE for
ever, because the State is to be dry
next year or because our police re-
gulations will not permit a roof gar
den to be run at a profit. A town can
not exist, whose principal asset is
merely roof garden; there must be
something closer to the ground to
build on. A cannery, a broom factory,
a soap factory or a wooden mills are
generally considered more valuable
to a community than a roof garden
and Boise has some of these and
should get all of them.
There apears to be throughout the
United States a changing of condi-
tions for which none were prepared
and which none thoroughly under
stand. This has resulted in a pro-
1onged era of liquidation, in which
the owners of equities in real estate
have largely suffered. But this era
must come to an end. Real estate
must finally reach basis of use value,
and then the upgrade will be reached.
Boise has suffered her full share
In the general slump for the reason
that here real estate was the basis of
speculation. For several years men
bought real estate, who had no par
ticular use for it, but who hoped to
gain by it's advance in value; spect-
lators aad investors became over
loaded, as it were, with land, and il
was held at higher price than could
be made out of it by any use to which
IT might be put; so the inevitable re-
action has set in and has been under
way for several years. Foreclosures
of mortgages, hitherto practically un.
known in this section, is now the or
der of the day. This means the wipinl
out of equities and a readjustment O
values. which will be followed by al
era of prosperity upon far more
stable foundation than under tn,
speculative stimulus of real estat,
barter. fI
Now it the time. to push and smile
to keep pegging away. to renew faitl
in your town and state and do you
mite towards ushering in an era o
prosperity.

INSISTS ON PREVAILING RATE

Fort Worth, Tex.-Editor Wood
man of the Union Banner can
see no excuse for the storm of pro-
test against workers in the Oklahoma
wheat fields who are asking So day
Three dollars per day has for
many years been the price paid in the
harvest fields of Kansas and other
wheat states" says Editor Woodman,
"and we can see nothing alarming in
