GOMPERS OFFICIALLY
ADVOCATES WILSON'S CAUSE

Q AMUEL GOMPERS, president Of
y the American Federation of La
Dor, a few days ago, from his
headquarters in New York, issued an
official address to the American peo-
pie comparing the labor records of
President Wilson and Charles f.
Hughes. The president, he remarked,
is the first chief executive to name a
member of an organized labor union
as one of his cabinet. He recounts
the legislation and official acts of the
Wilson administration, paying parti-
cular attention to its attitude toward
the use of the injunction of labor dis
putes
Against Hughes the labor leader
urges that he concurred in the deci-
sions in the Danburry hatters' case
and in a decision covering a case in
Arizona also indicated his belief that
the Injunction can be used against
labor Wells New Herald.

NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT
VOTERS INCREASING

I I is certain that some tall scratch
ing is to be done by the voters at
the coming election on November
the 9TH, as short conferences with vot-
ers prove. Very few straight tickets

straight ticket was the rule Then the
voters commenced to appreciate the
wisdom Of forgetting party when it
came TO county and precinct candi-
dates The direct vote for congress
sional candidates then took the par
tisianship from the legislative and
state candidates aud new. this year,
tho voters are not thinking so much
about party, even with reference to
the presidency, as they are about the
man. And this is right. The increas-
ed number of scratched tickets each
succeeding election simply shows the
independence of the voters and the
liberty of thought and action OF the
average citizens.-Mackay Miner.

and far more durable and substantial
than any other check upon the market
today. The third invention was a self
adjusting and portable ditch box for
those irrigators who we're using the
hole in the bank" method of irrigat-
ing. Its value, said Mr.. Rice, lay in
its hardness and elimination of wash

such basis that by next season irri-
gators will be supplied with these de-
vices

EXHIBITS INVENTIONS
FOR IRRIGATION WORK
G. w. Rice Has Perfected Three Ideas
Which He Thinks WIN Simplify IT.
rigating Problems.

Saturday afternoon at the ditch
north Of the ball park, G. w. Rice had
on exhibit three of his late inventions
on irrigating which the inventor be-
lieves will greatly simplify the prob
lens of the irrigator. Mr.. Rice had
installed the inventions as they would
be used in practical work and was
ready to explain the various points
and advantages of his system over any
of the others in use at present
The invention of greatest import
ance TO the irrigator, said Mr.. Rice,
was the adjustable irrigator. This
consisted of a galvanized iron pipe in
three sections, which had adjustable
openings at proper intervals for the
irrigation of both beets and other pro-
> pc was reversible for use
on both sides of ditch and the sec
tons capable of fitting one inside the
-er 10 facilitate moving from one
place TO another. The intake was
.lrecned and the irrigation openings
we're placed so that corrugations could

one-half feet. This pipe measured
about sixty feet in length and its total
weight was not over sixty pounds.
II have studied on this invention for
year." said Mr.. Rice, land have al
ways kept in mind the practicability of
the pipe. Its use will make the irriga-
tors work easier and better work may
be accomplished by its use than the
present system of boxes and checks.
The regulation of water is feature of
this invention and its use eliminates
the change in flow due to a sudden
rise or fall Of water in the ditch. On
my place two miles west of the city
have least $3.50 worth of lumber in
boxes and checks, which require con-
slant attention, while with the use of
this piping, this trouble and expense
could be done away with"
Another of Mr.. Rice's inventions
was the irrigation check, adjustable
to bitches from one foot to three and
one-half feet wide Mr.. Rice said that
it was easily adjustable, and portable

Captain Davis certifies that he
spent nearly as much as you did and
everybody knows that he did not en-

well known that he Travelled largely

Pullman route everywhere, going over

George Crum spent not much less
than you did, and he was scarcely adj
vertised in the newspapers while
there was hardly a newspaper in the
state that did not bear from week to
week or from day to day, your like

didn't get entirely around the state

paign while you were from north to

and forth so many times that Boise
people might almost have been justi-
fled in wondering if you had not TAX
en- up your residence here. either per-
manently or in anticipation of the po-
sition you hope to occupy.
Now, how did you do it?
Captain Davis boldly said it couldn't
be done. We remember the instance
not many years ago of another bank
er making a strenuous campaign of
the state who made affidavit that he
had kept his expenditures within the
legal requirements, yet after his bank
had failed because of his heavy cam
paign obligations, it was ascertained
that he had spent nearly, if not quite,
100000 instead of the $3.50 allowed
by law.
Maybe you didn't buy as many news
papers as that fellow did, but you did
mail lot of letters, not one to each
address, but several of them to each
person whose name you had. The
postage would exhaust your allowance,
to say nothing of the much greater
cost Of printing, purchase of enve-
lopes and addressing and mailing.
How did you do it?

Washington's own contribution to
the work at Tuskegee was first the
plan, then the finding of money to sus-
tain it. He had the address and the
kind of persistency which win money
from the rich for beneficent purposes.
He was perhaps the most successful
solicitor of funds the country has ever
known. For more than twenty years
he has ranged up and down the coun-
try setting forth his purposes at Tus-
kegee, exploiting the effects of his
work, and through these appeals win
ming financial support. The great es-
tablishment at Tuskegee, now literally
endowed, is monument to his indus
try, his powers of exposition, and of
his absolute devotion to a great cause.
Ten years ago or more Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie made direct provision of a
fund of 100000 for Washingtons per-
sonal benefit. At the time it was pre-
dicted that being thus removed from
the possibilities of individual necessity
Washington's energies in behalf of
Tuskegee would suffer a decline. But
not so. Up to the day of his death he
gave to the institute the same un-
wearying devotion that he had given
it in his own days of poverty.
1t is not too much to say of Booker
Washington that the example of his
Tuskegee school affected profoundly
the educational fashion of the country
Twenty years ago distinguished man
wrote to a famous college president
asking if he knew where a white boy
might get precisely the training afford.
ed to colored youth at Tuskegee. The
inquiry startled the educational world
in the sense that it exhibited the prac-
tical deficiencies of our system. The
effect of it was to stimulate the indus
trial and vocational idea throughout
the country.

j. NJ. Candy, president of the State
Normal school at Petersburg, who is
the executive secretary of the Negro
Organization society, reported that in
one year over 5000 people had been
addressed on subjects relating to
community improvements; SOP school
terms had been heightened; 604 school
leagues had been reached; S340 had
been given to five schools, and that
these small gifts had inspirited the
people to raise thousands upon thou
sands of dollars for their own schools.
T. C. Erwin of Petersburg, the So
ciety's field agent, reported that SAT
organizations and 643 individuals had
become members of the Negro Organi-
zation society. Professor Erwin has
been at work in So Virginia counties
He has carried a message of new hope
through organization to thousands of
men and women. He has reached
school improvement leagues in 10
counties and has aroused the people
to the necessity of practicing self
help and working out constructive
