Get Shoes at Last.

The government has purchased
about 300 pairs of shoes at So n pair
for the troops here. These shoes have
been in the warehouse since the
mobilization, and have been resting in
their boxes while men were drilling
practically without shoes.
The shoes were purchased originally
by Major Waldo, of the First battalion,
Thrty-first infantry. for the use of his
men during the state camp. 1t has
been the plan of the state to buy at

camp this year, and therefore no dol

But the government will lose money
even on this bargain. Government
shoes are chargeable to the men at
$3.50 a pair. Originally there were
$50 pairs, but the government being
SO slow, so pairs were sold before II

Tobacco"

American Indians found one plant
growing in damp woods, handsome In
spikes of pale blue flowers, which they
used as medicine.
When the white man came the same
plant won the favor both Of the apoth'
ecary and the gardener, but the gar.
dener has paid more attention to Its
cultivation than has the apothecary
Hence we know 1t more as flower
than as a drug. 1t is the lobelia
named for Matthias Lobel, Flemish
physician and botanist, says the Phil
aGelphia North American.
The medicinal substance In the plant
Is called lobelin, an alkaloid. although
the Indians probably didn't know 1t.
The common use of the plant among
the aborigines led the early settlers to
call 1t "Indian tobacco"
When 1t Is cultivated for commerce
the seeds are scattered on the sur
face of the ground late in fall or early
In spring. They terminate early In
spring and send down roots.
When the flowers are blooming the
plants are cut and dried In the shade.

must work as a whole for that which
it deserves. Its head must be held

HOUSE PASSES BILL
Every Labor Union in Idaho Should Urge Our
Senator's to Act at Once

Wshington-By a vote of 307 to
81 the house passed the Burnett I'm
migration bill, with sthe literacy test,
on Thursday, March &c. Prior to
this vote, Congressman SABBATH moved
to recommit the bill with intsruc-
tions" to strike out the literacy test.
This was decided on a roll call vote,
2S4 to 1877.
Opponents of the measure present
ed no new arguments, while the posi-
ton of its advocates was strengthen
ed by conditions in Europe because
of the war Congressman Mann, the
minority leader-who voted for the
SABBATH amendment, but later voted
Tor the bill-indorsed this position.
He said: And unless those countries
(European) by their own legislation
can prevent their citizens coming
here, we are liable to have flood OF
immigration such as no country in the
world ever experienced before | am
not willing to take the chances on it. y
Advocates of restriction referrdd
to the Increasing sentiment in favor
of greater effectiveness in every field
of activity. They insisted that DEM
ocracy cannot be developed to its
highest possible point while we en-
courage the admission OF illiterates
who destroy living standards OF
American labor and who refuse to be
come part of our national life.
The literacy test provides that i'm
migrants over 10 years OF age must
read at least 80 words in some Ian
guage or dialect, including Hebrew
or Yiddish, chosen by the immigrant.
Exceptions to this stest are made in
the case of an immigrant S father
or grandfather over S. years of age;
his wife, his mother, his grandmother,
or his unmarried or widowed daught-
er.
Exception to the literacy test is al
so made where an immigrant fees
from religious or political prosecu-
ton. The latter exception includes

StetsOn Employees on a Strike

Out here in the West where the
Stetson hat has been worn and prais-
ed for Lo, these many years, it is not
generally known that there is a strike
on at the Stetson plant in Philadel-
phia. And vecause of the strike a
new Labor paper has come to light
the News-Post OF that city.
Primarily, the cause of the strike
is this: On the morning of We'd
nesday, March !, 900 men in the fin-
ishing department walked out of the
plant after negotiating unsuccessfully
with the heads of the firm for an ad-
justment OF their grievances. They
walked out in sympathy for fellow
workman, whose resignation was re-
quested by the president of the Stet-
son company, on the alleged subter-
fuge that the workman had misrep-
resented him, the president, in a state
ment during the earlier negotiations.
According to the report of the sit
uation in the News-Post the strike
is spreading every day. 1t says in
part:
Every shop in the Stetson con-
Germ is hot-bed of unrest. They
but await the signal to revolt. This
is an unusual situation in view of the
fact that at least 90 per cent of the
the Stetson firm under the deceptive
bonus system engineered by the con.
cern. The leaders claim that if the
strikers were to make a demand on
their stockholdings it would cost the
firm approximately SlO0.00O

persons convicted, or admit the com
mission, or who teach and advocate
the commission, of an offense purely
political" Under this provision the
old-world revolutionist who advocates
force to overthrow his government,
or who dmits the use of force for
that purpose, will be admitted to this
country regardless of educational
qualifications.
The question of immigration restric-
ton by literacy test has been favor
ably voted on by almost every con-
gress since 1896. On three occasions
the proposal has been vetoed-by
Presidents Cleveland, Taft and Viii
son. In 1897 the house passed the
bill over President Cleveland's veto,
1913 to 81. This was 81 votes more
than the necessary two-thirds vote.
The senate failed to act, owing to a
rush of business and congress adjour-
ming. few hours after the house vote
In 1913 the senate passed the bill
over President Taft's veto, y to lS,
but the veto was sustained in the
house by a few votes. On Feb. 4,
1915, the house sustained President
Wilson's veto, 261 to 1856. If any four
OF the 1856 that voted to sustain the
President had voted with the majority
a two-thirds vote would have been Sc
cured and the bill passed
The last vote in favor of immigra-
tion restriction-307 to 81, recorded
March 30, last-indicates the increas-
ing demand by the people for this
legislation.
The bill is now in the senate. Its
passage by that body is conceded if
its advocates can overcome the small
that will take advantage of
the rules of the senate to keep the
bill from being voted on.
Trade unionists and other friends
of this legislation are urged to write
their two United States senators nd
insist that the Burnett immigration
bill be voted on at this session of
congress-.
