SOCIALISM AND THE kAlSER'S
GAME.

The socialist party in this country
is a wreck.
The real Americans-men like
Charles Edward Russell, William Eng
lish Walling, John Spargo and many
others who could be named-have
left the party in disust.
The leadership that remains is very
largely pro-German, and is busily
playing the pro-German game 1t
seeks to paralyze the fighting arm of
our government and begliile US into
German peace, we'll knowing that
would be a great and enduring Ger
man victory.
Thus the shell of the socialist party
in America becomes mere annex of
the majority socialists of Germany,
who have made of themselves an an
mex to kaiserisn. - 4
Time was When socialists pratej
theirs was the only real international
party, the only party which did not
pay any attention to frontier lines
but considered only human beings and
their needs. No king, no kaiser. 10
president could make them forget
their common humanity, and fly at
each others throats.
All plain bosh and DaIderdash!
When the kaiser. anxious 10 con-
quer the world, forged the war; the
German socialists marched Up to the
'rG1gh Ike little German goose step

England.

similar war lust for loot. The braves

WORK HAS COMMENCED
ON McBIRNEY EvAPORATOR.

Meridian's fruit interests will boom
this fall, and one and probably two
large evaporators will he bnilt. The
excavation for basement 35x2O0
feet for the big Earl-McBirney evap-
orator is under way. and Manager
Peer, with force of men and Fresno
scrapers are making the dirt fly. The
big building will be at the east end
of the McFadden property and fronts
on the state highway. The basement
will contain the engines and machin-
cry, and will be rooted ten feet above
the ground. The first story OF the
evaporator Will extend to three stor-
les In the center of the building, thus
giving room for the drying trays. The
building will be 80x200 feet over all
and will be the biggest dryer in tho
northwest.

the old brewery in Boise, are negot-
iating for an acre of land of ]. A.

track from the McBirney drier They
wish to put in an evaporator to han
die share of what they predict as
the biggest fruit crop in the history
of the valley.
No damage was done by the cool
weather of this week to the fruit
buds and there Is nothing to hinder
world-record crop. The orchards
are now in full bloom, and the trees
are loaded so heavily that thinning
will probably be necessary when the
fruit forms.

morning for Hill City, Idaho, where
he will look after his big hay and
stock ranch, located on the Camas
prairie. He takes this trip each year

which II sold will bring in good
sum, but as usual be expects to feed
1t all to his stock. AS the snow is
barely off the ground, Mr.. Parkin is
not able to make an estimate OF the
probable yield for the year.

of George Parkin will be looked af-
ter by Thai Stevens. during the for

Boise and Nampa BARRIERS have
raised the price of shave from 15c
to 25c. In Meridian the BARRIERS say
they will maintain the old rate. Two
reasons are given by the Meridian
barbers--one is that they think the
price is high enough already. and
the other is that, as the mug OF the
average Boise or Nampaite will dull
razor in short time, their BARRIERS
must necessarily charge more.

say THAT more than three hundred
voters have become active mem-
bers dunimg the past week. In
the northeastern part of the
state, alomg the state line, there
are hundreds who have affiliat-

1t has been said that parties
are essential to good government

is concerned, PARTIES do not ap-
