pEEAING The COURTS

The American Federation of Lab.
or, by unanimous vote at it's Balti-
more convention, adopted a resolution
advising resistance to the writ of in
junction when based ION the dictum
Labor is property" This resistance,
the resolution added, is to go to ex-
treme lengths, "let the consequences
be what they may"
1t was a decision OF the Massachu-
setts supreme court which provoked
this revolutionary declaration from
the Federation; and we think that
court will be able TO deal satisfac-
torily with any situation which may
arise In Massachusetts there has al
ways been a wholesome respect for
" and the courts have never hesi-
tated in the exercise of their duties
and powers. We are of the opinion
that any injunction issued by the
Massachusetts courts, no matter up
on what "dictum" it is based, will be
enforced
John Y. McKane, the Democratic
boss of Sheephead Bay, who counted
Cleveland into the Presidency in 1884,
once declared, when court process
was served upon him, "Injunctions
don't go here" But McKane put in
some time in Jail for his offense. We
do not think that Massachusetts jails
are any harder to get into than those
of New York. Defying the courts may
be favcrite indoor sport when labor
conventions are in session; but out in
the cold, gray light of the active life
of the world, it is a very different
matter.

Recorder Helps
Advertise the
Community

1t is indeed very seldom that The Re
corder prints an issue that does not Sc t
forth either editorially or in the news
columns some attractive aspect of the
advantages held out to the homeseeker
by this, one of the greatest diversified
farming sections in the rich state of
Idaho. The paper has been engaged
in this faithfully performed duty for
many years, and the steady, constant
expenditure of energy has, we sincere
ly believe, been the very greatest
influence in the populating and devel-
oping of these tracts. 1t is without
bigotry or boastful pride that we make
the foregoing assertion, and it is made
only in the light of knowledge of re-
suits obtained during these years that
the reader has no means of knowing
about.
The Recorder is the travelling repie-
sentative, so to speak, of this commun-
ity and it should at all times be able
to make a good appearance. Who
among US would care to order goods
from a shabbily dressed representative
representing firm who paid him =
bankruptcy salary? Would that sort
of drummer inspire your confidence
or elicit your business, even though he
was doing the best he could for his
firm? The principle is identical so far
as the newspaper-your Hewspaper-is
concerned. 1t is the duty of the BUSH
ness men to give The Recorder big.
generous, whole hearted patronage
not measly support-to the end that
the paper may represent our town and
community in digniied, convincing
manner With that sort of a paper
and that sort of spirit existing, it
would be only short time until Rich
field would enjoy the enviable distinc-
tion of being one of the livest and
most progressive towns in Idaho.
Then. too, the home merchant would
soon cheat the mail order houses of
their prey-but more along this line in
later issue.
Here is an order for copies of The
Recorder that will show the far-reach-
ing effects of the paper-one among
many:
Dear Sirs: Please send US Is copies
of your issue of Dec. l. We use these
copies in replying to inquiries from
parties interested in the industrial de-
velopment of the state. 1t is a part
of our campaign for more industries in

Sanitary Milk
Depot Being
Improved

Geo Braman, agent for the Mutual
Creamery Company, arrived in town
Tuesday and under his direction and
with his assistance Andy Peterson has
fine receiving room for cream. The
room on the west of the store has been
partitioned off, window set in the
door, the whole room painted and
whitewashed, made dust proof and san
itary. The Mutual Creamery Company
ever insists that all of their products
be kept in an up to-the-minute and
sanitary condition.
The dairy business is a growing bus
mess on the Richfield tract. Three
years ago The Recorder commenced to
advocate dairy cows and has both in
and out of school preached dairying
and hogs and backed our, judgment by
buying dairy cows and registered
Hampshire hogs, and they are paying.
Today the cream checks distributed
over the tract will run close to $18,-
000 90 year and il steadily increasing.
These checks have kept up the family
expense, and when the farmers sold
their crops this fall they had money TO
do with, as the last bank statement
will prove, which shows the largest
deposits in the last six years, and
bank is the barometer of a community
in which IL 10 located
There is going to be large acreage
planted to sugar beets this year and
the tops will be an additional profitable
feed for the dairy COW, and Richfield
has set the slogan: A SUGAR FAC
TORY IN 1918, and we will have it.
Let US forget past differences, our
mistakes and our shortcomings and
get together in spirit of co opera
tion and make Richfield HUM.

S. c. Bixler, deputy collector in the

quarters at Hepburn, was in Richfleld
Tuesday and visited for an hour with

A Community
Spirit That
Really Counts

To the prompt action of M. R. Kays.
general manager of the Irrigation
Company, is due the fact that the peo-
pie of the Richfield Tract have been
able to overcome the coal shortage.
When it became evident that we
were liable for shortage of coal, Mr..
Kays Immediately cut off the heating
plant and stopped the big pump and
started the small pumping plant at the
river, also reduced the hours of city
lighting and reduced the use of coal to
a minimum, so far as was possible.
He then gave orders to supply from
the company bins all people who were
absolutely in need of coal. In the
meantime he took the matter up with
the Public Utilities Commission and
the railroad officials with the result
that two cars. have been received
within the past week and assurance
given that Richfield will be supplied in
the future with sufficient coal.

The Recorder
is a Booster
for Idaho

On account of the truthful yet opti-
mistic manner in which The Recorder
continuously and consistently sets
forth the advantages and resources of
this section and its alert and jealous
watchfulness of the community's inte-
rests, there is growing demand for
the paper among prospective settlers
now residing in other sections of Idaho
and in other states. While The Re-
ccrder does not lay claim to being \
New York World, it would be we'll for
some people who pronounce the paper
failure (there are always a few un-
appreciate folks who in every commun-
ity are prone to criticize and complain
yet seldom if ever get into the collar
and help pull the loadD if they would
remember that The Recorder il not
published in New York City. Yet this
paper fulfills it's mission as fully as
does the New York World and covers
the field proportionately with as much
efficiency and as thoroughly rs the
other paper covers it's larger field.
When you feel the harsh spirit of
uncharItable criticism stealing up your
backbone just stop and ask yourself
how many dollars you ever spent with
The Recorder in the honest purpose of
helping the editor to make it better
paper; or. if you were financially un-
able to help along, how long has it
been since you voluntarily gave the ed
itor news item? Or how long has it
been since you said something good
NOT something bad-about The Re-
corder? What! Never. did any of
these things? Then, what right have
you to criticize?
Richfield is good town. The soil is
fertile, the climate is good-but there
should be more pronounced commun-
ity spirit of cooperation, unity of
purpose and a broadening of vision
that will enable US to get away from
personal rivalry in business, social
jealousies and the like and be at one
on the clarion note of community pro-
gress, forgetting our personal likes
and dislikes. We would be big if we
did this and our souls would expand in
such an atmosphere and Richfisld
would GROW. Unless we adopt this
spirit, which while subls, is the most
potent of all factors in community
building, we are not living up to our
Let US be big.
