A GOOD MOVE

Mayor Hays has ordered an employ
ment census of the city with the view
of finding. the number of people in
gainful pursuits, the conditions of
employments and such facts as are of
interest concerning the problems of
the present industrial situation. There
is no extensive employment of labor
in the production of goods in the city
and the need of factories will be made
more apparent by the work which
the Mayor has ordered undertaken.
Tt would appear to be the part of
wisdom for our business men,
through their Commercial organiza-
ton, to undertake constructive plan
of factory building. This would seem
the best, most easy and sensible plan
for the upbuilding of the city. La
Dor is the basis of city's growth and
development and the time has come
when it is fairly up to those whose
interests are wrapped up in the pro-
gress of the community to go to work
Systematically to obtain those indus
ries that will give employment to la
Dor The need is so evident that there
can be no question as to the duty of
the hour.
The Gem Worker may be accused
of harping upon this subject, but we
have discovered that while talk is said
TO be cheap, there is always need of
so much talk and the liberal and con-
sistent application of printers ink be-
fore any great achievement is ac-
complished. Therefore our readers
must expect us to keep hewing to this
line until factories of various kinds
are established in our city.

CANDIDATE FOR JUSTICE OF
1.-THE SUPREME COURT

To the Voters OF the State OF Idaho:
am a candidate for the office of
Justice OF the Supreme Court of this
state
My official duties as District Judge,
as we'll as other circumstances, will
prevent me from making an extended
canvass of the state for the nomina-
ton, and will likewise forbid such
canvass for the office if l shall be
nominated. In my opinion the proper
limits toa Candidates activities for this
office are very much narrower than
should be prescribed for candidates
for others. While | do not hold that
a candidate for the supreme bench
may do nothing to further his inter-
ests as a candidate, I am in full SYM
pathy with the attitude of many
thoughtful voters who look with
disfavor upon the persistent urging
of his candidacy by himself, whether
such urging is done by personal So
licitation or by the widespread pub
LEGATION of matter laudatory of him
self, prepared by the candidate him
self or under his direction. Holding
this view, shall faithfully try to
comply with both the letter and the
spirit of the statement.
My residence in Idaho covers the
past twenty-five years, thirteen years
of that time have been spent in Sho-
shone county and the past twelve
years in Kootenai county.
During the past seven years I have
been Judge of the District Court of
the Eighth District. | was appointed
to this office in 1909 and have been
twice elected since that time. My re-
cord as citizen and as District Judge
is we'll known to a large number of
the people of Idaho, and it may be
easily ascertained by any who do not
know. If elected I have no obliga-
tons that will prevent me from giving
the state the best service of which I
am capable.
1t may appear to some that by
adopting the course indicated above
! have decreased my chances of sue
cess, but have only to reply that this
appears to me to be the proper course
for candidate for a place in the
highest court of the state.
I therefore submit to the voters of
Idaho my candidacy for this office,
prepared to accept the result, what
ever it may be, without complaint.

-BLINp LEApErH rHE BLIND.

At the New York convention of the
National Association Of Manufacture
ers countrywide organization of
employers was urged to combat or
gained labor 1t was stated that IF
the business men of this country ex-
Pect to cope with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor they must at least
have well co-ordinated body, as well
organized i'll detail and as well feder-
ated among the states"
Under the caption, Blind Leadeth
the Blind" the News-Post of Phila-
delphis, answers these excited bust
ness men as follows:
IF the manufacturers took little
time off to study sociological and
economic conditions, paid less atten-
ton and money to trained lobbyists,
and spurned the demagogic harangues
of their so-called leaders, and stopped
listening to the seductive fiirtations
of merceAary politicians, they'd soon
find that there is no natural conflict
of interests between them and their
employees.
Both the employer and employee,
under the forms of industry that pre-
vail, are vital factors in the produc-
ton of wealth. That is truism that
the veries tyro should understand.
the employer doesn't seem to grasp
the idea. He continually seeks to
enhance his industrial privileges
through barter with professional pol
iticians rather than in open-hearted
talk with his employees and common
sense study of economic and indus
trial conditions.
Another source of trouble is in
the fact that many of the manufac-
turers are dual characters They are
only secondarily manufacturers. Pri-
marily, they are spectators with their
investments ramifed in monopoies
which are throttling the people; there
fore, this type can never be found
fighting for square deal"

Employees Should Win
(By Marcus payl

The railroad monopoly opposing
the united forces in trainservice must
either make great concessions or face
the worst tie-up in history
Just the eight-hour day will not do.
there must be extra-pay for overtime.
The brotherhoods can gain almost
all of their demands, but it is hardly
possible that they will press relent-
lessly for complete surrender.
1t would be suicidal folly for the
great banks who finance the railroads
and direct the labor policy to bluff
too strongly in presidential year be-
cause of the National government be
forced to act it will certainly show no
favoritism to railroad owners.
Moguls of railroading will put the
best poker face" possible and then
attempt a settlement which postpones
definite action until after election. The
Plunderbund needs the right sort of a
President in Washington before they
can win fight against such power
full and well-directed assaults for bet
ter living conditions.
Railroad earning profits are very
high even on inflated. and fc-
tious capitalization. They are mon
strous upon what would be legitimate
capital requirement.
May God speed the day of public
ownership and an end to present in
sanity.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

There have been great peace pa
rades and great preparedness parades,
and enthusiasm has been manifested
in unbounded degree, but the Ameri-
can people are more or less demon
strative and, then, forgetful. Hardly
anyone can give any well-defined re-
collection Of the peace movements of
a year ago and the preparedness pro-
paganda will fade from memory as
quickly 1t is perhaps well that this
is so. There is no need for any gem
eral alarm and the patriotic demon
STATIONS of recent weeks have full
filled their mission. The American
people are a peace-loying people;
their ideals are those of peace and
their ways also. There is no reason
why anyone should get excited over
our little spat with Germany. 1t never
got past the friendly exchange of
courteous notes, and as for Mexico, it
is the old Indian problem over again,
with few added complications. Mex
leo is an international nuisance, but
a war upon our part against the Mex
lean people is unthinkable. We may
be able to do certain police duty as
we did in Cuba and the PHILIPPINES,
but war of conquest and extermina-
ton would be crime against human
ity. tt.l"
Perhaps, we could establish sort
of protectorate over the tier of north
ern Mexico states, until they became
pacified and a stable government es-
tablished in Mexico City. Something
of a definite character should be un-
dertaken in the immediate future.

COULD cLoTHE ARMY QUICK

Chicago-The clothing manufacture
ers of the country could produce
enough hats, uniforms, leggings and
shoes to outfit an army of from 2,0O0,-
600 to 100000 inside of 90 days after
call. This was an estimate made by
the National Association of Garment
Manufacturers, which held a conven-
ton in Chicago last week. 1t was
stated that the federal government
had made inquiries of manufacturers
relative to their ability to fiji rush
orders.

The extraordinary season through
which southern Idaho has passed
brings to the fore the fact that the
safest and most profitable industry
for this section is the livestock indus
try. The catN'e men and the wool
growers will continue to make money
and lots of it-while this year the
fruit growers will have heavy losses
to chronicle. Diversified farming
must be the order of the day for
southern Idaho.

The first thing France, England and
Russia had to do in preparing for the
present big war, was to take over the
public utilities, such as telegraph and
telephones. railroads, factories, mines,
etc. That kind of preparedness
would be good thing in this country
right now for the common people.
Wonder why the capitaIistic press
does not boom this scheme while.

The farmers of Ada county who
have thousands of acres of fine wheat
land and especially the dry farm
lands complain that they are dis
couraged with the wheat proposition
as there is no grist mill in Ada coun-
ty. They however are looking hope
fully to the time when Boise gets her
