He grinned bit sheepshly. Beside

faction

T. c. Irwin, one of the prosperous
pioneer farmers, was in the city last
Saturday from his home out near the
Point and stated that they were just
finishing up their haying and that dur
ing the week his sons had cut 40
acres of wheat for Ted Long giving
their Little Idaho" harvester the first
tryout for the season with a very sat
isfactory result. Mr.. Irwin says that
they could not get along now without
this wonderful labor saving machine.
This year the company has attached a
gasoline engine to furnish power for
the threshing end of the game and as
a result less horses are required to
propel the machine. By using this en-
CINE it can be readily seen that bet
ter threshing will result.-Grangevill

PAVING STATUTE
TO SUPREME COURT
QUESTION INVOLVING THE VALID
ITY OF HOUSE BILL NO. III WILL
BE TESTED OUT
Many Points at Issue-City Council
STIMULATES Facts With Jackson st.
Property Owners in Case

The provisions of chapter 81, Ida
known as house bill No III are to b.
tested in the state supreme court an(
decision from that body on the
points involved is of direct interest
to every municipality in the state. The
case is to be carried to the supreme
court at once on writ of prohibition
against the creation of independent
/ improvement district No. 6 in the city
of Moscow, otherwise the paving of
streets in what is known as the Jack
son street district The city council
has appropriated 5000 to defray the
cost of litigation.
Recently property owners in the
district protested formally against the
creation of the district but the pro-
test was rejected by the city coun
ell. Lately the city attorney and At
torney e. Nisbet for the property
owners protesting, reached an agree
ment to stipulate the facts in ques-
ton and to carry the case to the su
preme court on the writ of prohibition.
The law is alleged to be defective
in that it conflicts with statutes re-
curing both the wife and husband to
sign any instrument creating an in
cumbrance on community property.
In some cases the wife did not join
with the husband in petitioning for
the creation of the district. Other
points on which light is sought is
churches have a vote; what
constitutes residence in the district; !
resident of the town out
side of proposed district has voice;
corporations have voice;
whether resident corporations |
nave a voice land in fact all points on /
which there is a question that might |
affect the validity of bonds issued |
against the district.

Every important statement OF fact
contained in the report, it is said, is
established by quotations from the
correspondence Or testimony of re-
sponsible executive officials of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company or of
Mr.. Rockefeller and members of his
personal staff. The report contains
copious extracts from the testimony
and correspondence of Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter, Jr., and Star ]. Murphy, his per-
sonal attorney in New York, j. E.
Welborn, president of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, L. NJ Bowers,

Deceived the President
The report in discussing the com
pany's rejection of President Wilson's ]
plan for settlement of the strike,
says:
MIR. Rockefeller not only rebuffed
the president by denying his earnest
request, but, if the letters of his
agents may be relied upon, he appar-
emily deceived the president and the
public by means of the company's |
letter of rejection. This letter was |
written by President Welborn jr col |
liberation with Mr.. Ivy L. Lee, a |
of Mr.. Rockefeller's personal |
staff, whom he had sent to Colorado !
for the purpose. Mr. Rockefeller's |
staff in New York had be-
come impressed with the strong pub
lie sentiment supporting the presi-
1ent's proposal, and in drafting their
letter of rejection to the president
Messrs. Welborn and Lee inserted the
following:
"A plan to secure harmonious rela-
he country would not necessarily
apply to our peculiar conditions. We
ire now developing an even more COM
,rehensive plan, embodying the re-
ults of our practical experience,
which will, we feel confident, result
n a closer understanding between
ourselves and our men. This plan con-
emplates not only provision for the
edress of grievances, but for con-
inuous effort to promote the welfare
nd the good will of our employees. :
This letter was signed by Mr. Vel
orn and was dispatched on Septem-
er IS, 1914. On the following day,
eptember 10, Mr.. Welborn wrote to
If. Murphy, Mr.. Rockefeller's per-
onal attorney in New York:
Il appreciate your very thoughtful

Ons for consideration in the event of
S being necessary to propose some

ter this presentation the club ad-
journed to the next regular meeting
in April.
The Boosters club is a medium
through which the business men and
citizens of Wauseon may get to-
gether and cooperate for the building
up of the community in every way;
what helps one helps all and the peo-
pie in these days who hold themselves
aloof from cooperation for fear that
it will interfere with the attention
they wish to give to their personal
interests are the people who are bound
to fall to the rear in the procession
of progress.
the club also furnishes a clearing
house for the ideas, wishes, COM
plants and contentious in regard to
public and business affairs as well
as for plans and ideas in regard to
matters of common interest. 1t is
by such a medium, where there can
be a free expression of varying opin-
ions and community of ideas that
the best things and the highest stand
ards may be worked out. Be a boost

medium of speech is no hinderance to
it. for it is so suitable to the crav-
ings of the human heart. 1t goes un-
derneath the vexations and troubles,
relieving all distresses, and assuring
all sorrows. When the English Minis
trel went to seek for his master of
the Lion Heart, he played everywhere
the monarch's tune, and was at length
rewarded by hearing its notes sent
feebiy back to him from the prison
wherein Richard was confined. In like
manner, if we should send forth the
music of the sympathetic chords of
our hearts, we would find others al
ways ready to respond to our songs,
and our joy would be complete.
Modern skepticism is not the same
as the type of which we have heard so
much. 1t is not an open denial so
much as the tendency to turn a deaf
ear to the needs of the world. 1t is not
a bold assertion as in days gone by so
much as being proud of ones ac-
complishments, seeing no one save
ourselves. Its backbone is composed
of indifference and selfishness-that
ability of holding ourselves aloof from
the struggles that are going on for
better conditions. We have no In
gersolls no Hume, no Hobbies, no Boil
ingbrokes, no Voltaires, no Diderots,
no Rosseaus in this day and genera
ton. They are all dead and what
they taught has been swept away with
their ashes. We are not annoyed by
what they preached any more. We have
discovered their weakness and have
quietly set them aside. Our skepticism
is found in the market-place, in poll
tics or statecraft, in society. The war
which we wage is not so much against
any creed as it is against indifference
and selfishness. The man whom we
have to contend with is the man who
thinks that it is wicked to sacrifice
for the well-being of all concerned.
Pecuniary interests are more precious
to him than humanity. Profitable
business speculations are dearer
to him than the souls of his neighbors.
His conscience will not permit him to
run the slightest risk with his divi-
dends. He believes that anything is
right that helps him to win large re-
turns. This is the kind of skepticism
that we have on our hands, and it has
worked havoc in many places. 1t has
made commerce of human blood; it
has squandered human souls without
compunction; it has plundered in every
avenue, and, it has gone so far as to
dare the law of the land. It's tentacles
have pierced all channels. Its venom
has poisoned on all sides, and the
lamentations that it has caused are
too heart-rendering to mention.
