WoMEN-PIcKETs ASKED BY GIRL
LABOR LEADER


Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, speaker

night criticized the American Fedora

women on the picket line during
strikes. ~. &< ~.'

strike has been lost because the men
didn't know enough to bring their
women right out on the firing line. It
isn't the police and the strikebreakers
who always defeat strikers. ....
tits the woman who stays home
and never understands what her man
is fighting about-there's where the
trouble is. Put the woman on the
picket line. If she stays home, igno-
rant of the issues of the strike, with
her children tugging at her skirts,
and newspapers and gossips giving
her a wrong idea what it's all about,
she beats the strike, she and the rest
of 'em like her. -.
"The l. w. w. has had women right
in the front line of pickets wherever
we have had a strike. For this we
have been accused of hiding behind
women's skirts. The truth is the
women push themselves to the front
ahead of the men on the picket line
when they once get interested.

published the vindication unless
somebody used their influence with
him to make 1t an object of his own
concern. We know this would be
true of him because we know of his
paper publishing scandal about others,
and when he found that it was mere
scandal his paper would remain silent
and leave the poison to continue its
work. We know that when members
of Mr.. Cobb's family have been taken
advantage of and their confidence
betrayed by scoundrels, and publica-
ton of who was the scoundrel would
have lifted undersigned stain from
others, his paper has remained silent
even when asked for an acknowledge
ment. We take this means of telling
the public that Mr.. Calvin Cobb, edi-
tor and proprietor of The Idaho
Statesman, very honest and honor
able man appears to lack the cour-
age to do what he ought to do and
his record proves it.

COUNTY AGRICULTURIsT
NEEDED

Suppose Bingham county should
employ superintendent of lagricul-
ture, whose business it is to aid and
advise with the farmers as the sup
erintendent Of schools does with the
teachers and trustees. Suppose he
were graduate of an agricultural
college and could 60 out into the
fields and analyze conditions and help
the farmers solve their problems by
adding his skill to their experience.
Suppose he had certain hours to be
in his office for consultation by phone
or by personal visits, and certain
other hours toIqbe out on the road
with a motorcycle making personal
examinations of what farmers had
called him up about. Suppose he were
a man who could advise alike with
the farmer and stockman, the editor
and the veterinarian, and that they
could combine their efforts to make
more bushels and tons grow on each
acre, make hogpens more sanitary,
cowstables more clearly and comfort
able, milk cellars better suited for
milk, and all graduay work together
to increase production on the farms
while keeping down expense and
disease and trouble. Suppose the
county commissioners expended a few
thousand dollars for the salary and
expenses of the county agriculturist
for 1915 and there was a marked In
terest developing in better methods
Of farming during that period and
man here and there could show
good results from it such as 20 sacks
per acre added to his yield of pota-
toes or two bushels per acre added
to his wheat. Suppose this work
should be. continued from year to
year and that in Ave years Bingham
county should make very great
strides in its agricultural develop
ment, would 1t pay to lay out the
gold for starting this work and keep
ing it going more rapidly than 1t
could be done by any other known
methods, and are you as an average
taxpayer ready to have so cents add
ed to your tax bill next year and
take chances on getting results?

FORD PARTY
FUSSING

The Ford peace party, all worlds
opponents of "get together and set
aside differences" is reported to be
fussing at sea. When they got the
presidents message and found he
was in favor of preparedness, how
ever faint, they got into a great dis
cussion over it and most of them
wanted to make war on President
Wilson by adopting resolutions con-
demning his message in that respect.
Others, while agreeing with them in
degree, considered that it would
be unpatriotic to condemn the presi-
dent and threatened to leave the
party as soon as they got to land
II the resolution was adopted.
All this is very significant in view
of their insistence upon opposing
forces compromising their differences
when great Kingdoms are at stake
and under constant menace if they
should compromise 1t is the more
significant when we consider that the
presidents plan of national prepared
ness calls for only 1900 additional
marines, just about enough to make
common fodder for one shot of an
enemy's modern gun.

PINGREE SCHOOL HOUSE
IN DANGER

This is perfectly proper time for
school trustees to inspect their school
houses and the heating plants to see
If they are properly operated and
properly built. Some of them will
likely find that rubbish and fuel have
been put so close to the furnace that
the building is in constant and i'm
minent danger of burning down.
They may find that the janitor has
a slovenly habit of raking the Goals
out in front of the furnace and leav-
ing it there within a short distance
of materials that take fire easily
They may find that the ashes and
cinder are allowed to accumulate
under the CRATE so that it is melted
or warped by the intense heat of
Goals that pile up against the crate
on the under side exposed to draft.
If the trustees at Pingree will in
spect their heating plant they will
find that whoever installed the heat
ing plant violated substantial rules
of construction by exposing wood
work to the heat of the pipes carry
ing the hot air. If the specifications
in our office are correct in saying
how much space there must be be-
tween the hot pipes and wood con-
struction, and how the sheet asbestos
must be used to protect the wood,
there is not an insurance company
operating in the state that would
carry the risk another day If they
knew the condition existed as we
saw them. They would cancel the
risk by wire and censure the agent
who wrote the policy. If they knew
the condition of the smoke pipe con-
Meeting the furnace with the chin
>>ney, if they knew how badly it fitted
and how easily the fame might con-
meet with liter and fuel lying d.
rectly under it, they would say as
we did when we saw it that it was
simply criminal negligence to leave
it that way with a fire in it.
There are other places besides Pin
gree that need investigating, and a
word to patrons and trustees ought
to be enough.

WILL YOUR HOUSE
BURN?

A good many homes are in danger
just now from fire and nobody short
of the Infinite knows all the dangers.
1t is subject worthy of the careful
scrutiny of every family and just
now when cold weather calls for in
tense heating, and when parties and
entertainments make it convenient
for folks to lock up the house and
leave for the evening, is fitting
time to inspect the flues and pipes
ito see If anything is old and burnt
out. See If SCOT is lodged so that it
might burn out and heat through to
dry woodwork. See if the heat from
the pipe might not set fire to wood
near it. See if the pipe is wired
securely. Build up a hot fire and
feel along the woodwork that is near
est the stove and pipe and note
whether 1t is dry and warm. If it
is, there is a good place to mark as
danger point and see If you cannot
keep out the heat. See If any of
the exposed woodwork is slightly
Drowned with heat, and If it is, be
assured that you are carrying a grave
risk to leave 1t as it is. How far
Is 1t from the stove pipe to the wall
paper around the entrance to the

it was only an inch or two, and yet
grown-ups would look at it, pro-
nounce it unsafe and leave it 80.
There are old chimneys where the
mortar has crumbled and left
erevices that fire or heat can pass
through; there are old stove pipes
that are burnt out or rusted so that
they are ready to collapse and need
replacing. There are stoves that
leak and need stoveboard or piece

BOISE A
HOTBED

The richer a community the more
it attracts the grafters, and the finer
people there are in community the
more envy and meanness there Is dis
played at times by the baser ones
among them. Boise is suffering from
the activities of those who revel in
the poison of SANDER.
A few weeks ago rumor was
started by somebody, saying that a
certain rooming house had been raid
ed and a very prominent man had
been caught where he had no bust
ness to be, and where he could not
explain his presence. That a large
sum was paid by him as hush money
and that it was accepted by those
in authority. The report went on
to say that he was very prominent
in social and official circles, and that
the sum paid was $4,000, and it left
the impression that the erring woman
in the case was the owner of the
house. The Idaho Statesman, a paper
claiming to be conservative and reli-
able, Published the story and it went
into thousands of homes carrying
with i, its blighting effect upon those
whom il might influence.
The city authorities rose to the oc-
cason and denied that anything of
the kind had happened, but this only
intensified the matter, and people
said, of course, they would deny it..
Then the slanderers became holder
and the story leaked out (nobody
knows where) that it was Rosemere
that was raided. Rosemere, a beau
tiful home now operated as a room
ing house by one of Bosses most
estimable women past middle age. A
woman who has filled responsible po-
sitions in the state house and by her
nobility of character won the respect
and confidence of all who know her.
So pronounced was the story, that
every occupant of Rosemere left the
house and found quarters elsewhere,
and a noble woman with world Of
friends the week before, found her.
self in disgrace and without means
of making living. Lifelong friends
passed her up with stare when she
met them. A strong man would have
been crushed by it and woman is
the more helpless.
Twelve of the most prominent men
of the state took the matter in hand
and made a searching investigation,
and reported that no raid had ever
been made of Rosemere or had ever
been contemplated. Nobody could be
fund who ever had reason for sus-
picion against the house or the own
err. Nobody knew where he or she
heard the story, or II traced back
through different persons, the final
would always deny know
ledge of where it came from. The
Of IL published their re-
port, and the editor of The Idaho
Statesman was one of the number,
yet he did not explain where his
paper got the story, when they pub
lished it. When he found that 1t
concerned one of his friends he was
ready to act for vindication. If 1t
had concerned somebody not friend
of his or whose welfare was matter
of Indifference to him, Mr.. Cobb
would probably have remained silent,
