Ito question the individuals present as
to their age, their nationality, and as
to whether or not those between the
legal ages of registration had regis
tration cards. He stated that he had
come into their midst to talk the sit
uation over and wished to discuss
with them their desires and see if
something could not be done to assist
them. He inquired as to what they
were striking for, and an individual,
who appeared to be the spokesman
for them, presented a printed hand
bill which contained the demand. He
inquired as to the source of this print
ed demand and no one was able to
indicate to him from whence it came.
One party guessed that it came from
Chicago. He then inquired of them
if they were in position to deal with
him, or any other individual, III the
matter of settling the strike and
whether if a majority of the individ-
uals present voted to go to work
would they be free to do so. He was
advised to the contrary; that they
would not; that they would first have
to have majority vote of all the lum-
Der workers throughout the north
west before they would be permitted
to accept employment. The governor
then advised them that he could not deal
with individuals in the states of Ore
gon, Washington and Montana; that !
if what they said was true they were
not free agents to act and there was
little or no use to discuss the situa-
lion. He stated that under the laws /
Of Idaho he had appointed a concil-
atory board consisting of five mem
1ers who were at their disposal at any
line. He would be able to see that
hey were in position to act freely
md make an agreement with the mill .
,wners. He inquired of several in
lividuals present why each of them
truck and as to the wages they
at the time they struck. In
he discussion it developed that the
east that any one received was 1925,
With a maximum of $500 per day.

a fire burning over ON the hillside
he said that the government had the
power to commander them and force
them to go and fight the fire on. tn,;
hillside that was destroying the re-
sources of the country, and that if this
was done the government had the right
to give them nothing or $1,000 a day,
as it would, and they could do moth

of those assembled that this was no
time to bubble over. whether we

now at war with Germany and for

He inquired of the crowd how many
present were in favor and wouldi as
sist the government in changing the
kaiser's name. With but very few
exceptions, all hands were raised.
Speaks With Firmness
In discussing the local situation he
spoke with great firmness. He pointed !,
out the rights of every individual and
warned every one present to desist in |
interfering with any other individ
uals rights He stated that if there /
was any one present who desired to
go to work to do SO and that the sher-
if of the county would protect him. In
the event that he was not able to do
so, that the state and national govern,
ment were behind him and every life
would be protected: that if there was
any individual present who felt that i
this was not the case he dared them to Il
interfere with the rights of others. He 4
invited any one present who had any T;
grievance to come to him, that he K
would be glad to talk it over and give {

not good. That the women of the
town did not feel free to go and come,
Especially in the section of the town
where the strikers congregated; that
they themselves did not feel entirely
at ease and wished that the strike
might be settled or somthing done to
better conditions The governor ask
ed them if they felt that the sheriff
was unable to cope with the situation
and if the militia was necessary They
advised that they did not think the
militia was required; that they had
banded themselves together as a home
guard and that they would give the
sheriff all the assistance that he
might ask, and that it was their opin-
ion that the militia was unnecessary.

by President Wilson which, though
escaping great public notice, was one
of the most profound utterances Of
our day.
The two great accomplishments Of
this war will be perpetual peace and
universal thrift
Like all great strides toward a
better civilization, these ends are
being accomplished by tremendous
losses. Were there nothing to this
war but the bloodshed and destruc-
ton and the creation OF human
hatred, it would mean that civil
ization had slipped back to the
period Of the beast and the cave
man. But in the final analysis this
war is being fought for the accom-
plishment Of peace, and this is higher
ground than man has ever before
attained.
As President Wilson pointed out, a
fundamental understanding Of saving
is by-product Of the war that makes
it worth the cost in dollars and re-
sources.
We have suddenly become a thrifty
nation and we are going to become
a thriftier one still. We are receiv-
ing practical demonstration OF the
value Of thrift, and we are learning
this lesson so well that after the war

Railroad Securities
Boom In Wall Street

New York, Dec. 27.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
President Wilson, with stroke of his
pen, resuscitated confidence in railroad
securities and the entire railroad list
today achieved sensational gains. 1t
was a dramatic change from fear that
some railroads would have to reduce
dividends and would report startlingly
low earnings for November and Decem-
ber.
Wall Street woke from its lethargy
and in two hours more shares changed
hands than in many recent five hours
session.
Equipment issues also made gains. I'm
in public confidence in the
rails extended to all industrials.
Excitement marked the opening. Ner-
vous shorts were in difficult position
and proceeded Immediately to cover. AS
soon as the short covering relaxed
there were wide reactions. The scarcity
of money made itself felt and the low
marks of the day were reached.
Then came out of town buying, CO.
pious supplies of money from interior
sources and the market again swept
upward. Wall Street hailed President
action as the greatest con-
structive thing in years.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
Pre5idsHt Ameriean Sociey tor Thrift

is over we will never go back to the
old ways of improyidence.
We are learning that true thrift
means merely the elimination Of
waste; that avarice, parsimony, and
money-hoarding are not thrift; that
the practice of thrift not only brings
its material rewards, but it gives US
mental poise, peace of mind and
moral stamina as well.
Self-denial is the best cure for a
habby will and an irresolute char
acter.
Already, we have found that meat
less and wheatless days are not, in
any way, hardships to us. We are
consuming less sugar and less fat
without sacrifice or inconvenience,
because we made up our minds to do
so. Yet, few months ago, the mere
suggestion Of these innovations
would have been howled down by
popular acclaim.
We are seeing, also, the tremend-
ous value in the aggregate OF in-
dividual thrift. Each of us should
eat-and most of us are-one ounce
less OF meat a day. Now this sim
ply means one bite of meat less-one
cubic inch.
And what does this one bite less a
day amount to?
1t means that we can supply our
allies with all the meat they need.
Since the war began, thirty-three
million meat animals Of our allies
have been killed because there was no
feed for them and because there are
not men enough to grow new feed
on the lands that have been ruined.
Therefore, there is a tremendous
meat deficit among those nations
that are fighting with us.
While hardships untold are being
endured across the Atlantic, we are
learning a lesson in thrift that is
pleasure and a blessing.
