NOW FOR UNITED ACTION

The special recall campaign closes
with the election today, and no mat
ter what the result may be, it should
be followed by an era of peace in
Boise. Our people must get together
for the material advancement of the
city, for the establishment of factories,
the creating of payrolls and the EN-
ployment of labor, so that the pros
prosperity now reported so gen
eral throughout the United States
may also abide in Boise. In this
campaign for the progress of the city
all citizens can stand shoulder to
shoulder, each vieing with the other
to do his utmost for the common
cause.
The old-time Boise spirit was a
progressive spirit and the town went
ahead of the development of the re-
rources of the tributary country, but
present conditions augur we'll for the
future. Thousands upon thousands of
acres of fertile land will be made pro-
ductive by the completion of the Ar
row Rock dam and the irrigation sys-
tenn and these will become homes for
thousands of happy and prosperous
citizens-all practically residents Of
Boise; at least all adding to its sup
port and upbuildng; the Barber lum-
Der plant is to become more and
more important factor in Bosses de-
velopment, while the renewed activ-
tiles in the Boise basin mining dis
tricts must not be overlooked. The
outlook for Boise is bright and our
citizens should cease the pickering of
the past few months and unite for
forward movement in every field OF
activity.

BOISE WILL AWAKE

In referring to an editotal OF re-
cent date in The Gem Worker, the
Idaho World makes the following
comment:
The Gem Worker reports consider
able building now going on in Boise
and says times are better there than
a year ago. The Gef Worker says
that if the Boise people would cut
out the crouch the town would con-
tinue to improve. A surgical opera
ton in any grouchy town would re-
suit in a more cheerful aspect, even
thought it did not improve it in a
business way Severing the crouch
from the body polite with the sharp
knife of the old surgeon whose sur
name is "Cheerup," will not cause the
patient to grow, thrive and develop
business bone, muscle and sinew, un-
less followed by the right kind of ac-
ton. Boise has been doomed beyond
her ability to hold her footing on the
hillside climb to greatness, and the
Beautiful" slid back. But Boise,
with the immense resources surround
ing the place, and those resources ex-
banding every year, will make another
climb, and when it does will probably
go little steadier, more carefully, and
will not try to carry such big load
of ficticious values as formerly. The
Boise people are now getting factories
in their heads, and the hum of the
machinery thereof buzzes out through
their mouths-each to another-which
is good sign. Constant agitation
usually brings results, and the people
will talk factories until they finally get
them. AS prerequisite, more or less

TO ARB1TRArE STRIKE

Trenton, N. striking motormen
ard conductors employed by the
Trenton and Mercer County Traction
company have returned to work
on the company's promise that differ
ences will be submitted to an arbitra-
ton board The employees claim that
active trade unionists were dismissed.
The company charged these men with
dishonesty but refused to give them
/ chance to defend themselves or dis
cuss the question in any way, This
unfair attitude resulted in complete
tie up of all lines and the company
was forced to recede.

THE LABOR PRESS

Some fifty or more labor papers
from all sections of the United States
come regularly to our exchange label
and practically all present prosper
Gus appearance. This is decidedly a
changed condition from that Of only
few years ago, when the papers de-
voted to the union movement were
practically boycotted by the business
men and the general public. Now, adj
vertising experts Of national reputa-
ton assert the union labor paper IS
the best advertising medium there is
according to circulation This means
the subscribers OF the labor press are
essentially loyal to the union cause
and understand that the cause can on
" be maintained by means OF its faith
full publications. Therefore, they pat
ronize the dealers who patronize their
papers. 1t is a simple proposition, but
is one that up-to-date merchants real
ize and hence the prosperous appear
ance of the labor press.
The Gem Worker is primarily de-
voted to the cause of union labor, but
it is also a thoroughly loyal paper to
the best interests Of Boise and Idaho
For these reasons its circulation is
constantly growing and it appeals
with increasing force to business men
as an advertising medium.

WHICH SOCIALIST IS RIGHT

Chicago-The national headquarters
of the Socialist Party issues so
cialist Party Servise," J. L. Engdahl,
editor, and mails copies of same to
various newspapers.
In calling on workers to press their
demand for an eight-hour day in the
Pittsburgh district and elsewhere,
Editor Engdahl says: There were
no unemployed to take their places,
no freshly arrived hordes of immi-
grants from Europe hungry for jobs" "
He also says: "When the war over,
as it soon must be, the hordes of the
hopeless will leave the shores of
Europe and come to the United States
looking for jobs to compete in the
labor market"
On March "a last, Congressman
Meyer London, in opposing the Bur
nett immigration restriction bill in
the house of representatives, said;
"The trouble with the average rep
resentatives of organized labor is that
he is incapable of that broader vision
which sees above and beyond the mar
row needs of the moment. That is
the misfortune of the trade union
movement. What lack of intelligence
The politician is afraid to tell them
that they are stupid"

JAMES ]. HILL
(By Marcus Day.

James ]. Hill, the great railroad
builder, manipulation and monopolizer
is dead. He was quite long period in
the world and had acquired consider
able of it under his personal title. 1t
was thru no fault of his own that he
did not corner all the dry land, with a
exclusive franchise on the right to sail
boat; he only fell short of this de-
sire because there were others who Sc
cured foothold first. But Hill show
ed EN- all the best kind OF a scrap and
while he was grading many OF the
multis who also wanted everything
valuable had bad dreams. In his me-
thods of acquisition, Jay Gould, Jim
Fiske, ]. p Morgan and J. d. Rookie
Teller had nothing on him; if there was
any trick that would cop easy money
without giving a kopek to the public
in return Jim Hill acquired it by Sc
cond sight and had it in execution
about the time most OF us were Won
dering whether we had better get up
to build fire.
The United States treated Mr.. Hill
much better than he did Uncle Sam
but he is not to be vehemently blamed
for such a situation. About anything
he had gall enough to ask for he had
no trouble in securing from our re-
representatives. in the states and in
Congress. Much of this affrontery
and appetite has been mistaken for
ability by people who worship accumu-
lations. James ]. Hill is not to be
criticized too sharpely for doing what
he did to the people because he was
| only one in a dozen or two others
just as bad and he saw no signs that
the people ever cared much concern
ing their own property so he felt he
had a right to his share of it-that is,
If some stroke of fortune did not de-
velop where he could get it all.
For the writer to state that he is
rendering grief over the exit of Mr..
Hill would be far from the truth. /.
havn't given him a seconds thought
in ten years. He was only one and
by far the least Objectionable of a
number Hill really did do much
service to the users of his transport
tation lines that he could have refused,
because other railroad magnates who
had no more iron bound monopoly on
given territory punished their victims
relentlessly and still continue to pros
per in spite of this fact
But James J. Hill was just an
ordinary plutocratic type in spirit and
in later days was in the game of high
finance for pecuniary self-interest,
along with Morgan, Rockefeller and
others.
His sons show much financial abili-
ty and will no doubt be among those
enemies of the country from within
our borders who will be dealt with
in the future because of the welding
of great power badly.

In 1870 the per capita consumption
of whiskey in the United States was
6 gallons which has been increased
to the present time to p gallons.
