Workers lin the factories generally
demanded higher wages, and in some
instances demanded more than the
gross income of the business. In
many cases the owners just retired
and let the employees run things to
suit themselves, and in some in
stances the employees simply took
possession and told the bosses not to
come around any more. They fixed
new schedules of pay, paid them
selves out of the revenues of the
business as long as there was goods
to keep the money coming in, and
then shut up shop and looked for
something else. One man who oper-
ated a factory lived in a good house
across the street, and the employees
required him to not only stay away
from the factory but to stay at home.
He could look across and see things
running, but he could not help about
it, nor visit around town during his
enforced vacation.

ALL ABOUT ALIKE
AT HEART

During the progress of the war in
Europe, copper went up to over 80
cents. When our own country en-
tered the war and the big copper
interests were asked to have a heart
and be. reasonable, they proposed
supplying copper to everybody at
about 20 cents. The government
fixed the price at % cents subject to
changes after further investigation.
The government commission said the
big copper plants could produce it
at less than 20 cents, but that the
great mass of smaller producers
could not, SO they said to let it stand
at % cents for the present, to save
the small producers.
Before we got into the war wool
went up to 60 cents and was threat
ening to go to dollar. The sheep
men were asked to have a heart and
be reasonable and lot of them pro-
posed fixing the price at SO cents,
and they placed their wool at the
disposal of the government subject
to price-fixing after an investigation.
During the progress of the war
and before we got into it, wheat
went up to four cents a pound in
wheat fields. When we entered the
war the wheat men were asked to
have heart and be reasonable and
they responded and sowed wheat
When the price was fixed at three
and half cents on Chicago basis,
we wheat men said we were dis
appointed and were sore about it.
Senator La Toilette raved about it,
and said it was an outrage. He said
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-10-12

and did all he could to stir up class
hatred, and in support of his con-
tention he cited the fact that the
millers and the sellers Of -four are
taking the cheaper wheat and yet
keeping the price Of flour up, and
also saying that -four has been too
high all the time.
Now if Senator La Toilette were
the right kind of man and were
sincerely trying to help the American
people solve their problems, he
should get down to constructive
work and help to force the millers
and the vendors of -four to stop their
hold-up game and get down to the
same kind of basis as do the cop
per men and the wool men and the
farmer men. He ought to quit fuss
ing because some jobs are only part
ly done, and he ought to get in and
help finish them. He is radically
wrong in trying to undo the good
that has been accomplished.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-10-12

ficers. At this time when all the
world is saving wheat for the allies
and when Americans are speeding up
the consumption of corn and pota-
toes as substitutes for wheat so they
can ship more to the French and
English who are defending our lib
critics, Oklahoma farmers are feed
ing their wheat to the hogs and
laughing about 1t. Butte City, that
hotbed of unionism, I. w. w. &C.
ivities, high-handedness and lack Of
common liberty, responded with the
draft riots. When agitators were
openly teaching sedition and OBJ
structing defense, and vigilantes took
the chief teacher and agitator out
and hung him (regrettable crime in
itself) railroad men reported that
the agitator element damned the
trains in all directions getting out
of Butte These I. w. w. speakers
had been advocating 'direct action, I"
in all their utterances, and the vigil
antes gave them just one dose of
their own medicine and they STAN
peded in all directions, and Butte be-
gan again to assume the Characters
tics of an American city.
People Of Idaho should take note
of these facts, and make haste slow
ly in letting the agitators get foot
hold. Their bluff that they would
rule the whole northwest from
Spokane a few weeks ago fell fiat
when the leaders were placed on
trial for their crimes. They had said
their organization was so complete
that if all the leaders were placed
in jail the work of obstruction would
go on. In actual practice few
fields we're burned, some forest fires
were started, some hills were de-
stroyed, and scattering outrages
committed. Everybody from the gov
ernor down to the humblest citizen
should stand ready with a challenge
and a big stick for obstructionists,
and every citizen should give care
full study to agitators who propose
starting a new order of things and
making the people, rather than
themselves, bear the responsibility.

SOME FEATURES OF THE
REVOLUTION

Russia has been under an iron
hand for SO many generations that
when the revolution came last March
and it was at one stroke made into
a free country, the different inter-
pretations placed upon the phrase
are interesting to review.
Everybody seemed bent upon exer-
cising his or her new freedom while
they could, and those who had yearn-
ed for free speech went out on the
street corners making speeches.
Some condemned the government,
some condemned autocracy and some
condemned capital. Most of them
condemned something, and some of
them advocated things constructive.
Some walked the streets just to be
walking. Some walked in lines and
crowds and punches, taking up all
the walk, yet pausing to get by in
some manner when they met other
crowds doing the same thing. All
were good-natured and there was no
violence. Some of them formed in
long professions and marched and
hummed and sang. Some had gath
ering in their homes just to see how
it would seem to have a gathering
without getting government permits
sion and without having an officer
enter to see if it was a proper meet
ing to have.
A traveller in Russia hired a taxi
to take him from one part of Petro-
grad to another, and the driver set
out at the top speed of his horse.
When the passenger protested
taxi was promptly brought up at the
curb and the driver told his custom
er that if he did not like the way
he was driving he could get; that
it was now a free country and he
could and would do as they pleased,
and would not be bossed by him or
anybody else.
In a barber shop man sat for
a haircut, and when the work of
cropping off his hair began he said,
"Oh, don't cut it short. l want it
left medium" The barber replied,
Get out of the chair then, for if
I cut your hair I am going to use
the clippers. Get out or shut up.
This is a free country now"
In many of the restaurants the
walters chatted with the customers
and visited around instead of rush
ing the meals. On one occasion the
traveller sat for 40 minutes by the
watch listening to the random talk
and discussions of walters and pat
rons of the house and then ventured
the remark: "Why don't you bring
me something to eat instead of talk

BY THEIR WORKS THEY
ABE KNOWN

In 1. W. w. circles a great deal
has been said about the rich and
the poor not dividing the burdens
equally, and so great and honored
a man as Senator La Toilette raves
about drafting flesh and blood for
the war and insists upon making the
rich pay for the war, just as if the
rich were not doing their part. That
gentleman and lot of others not
80 prominent should train their
minds to grasp the truth and then
state the facts when they are talking.
Among the allies of the old world,
the rich and the poor have stood side
by side in the trenches and have
been shot to pieces by the same ar
tillery in the same cause. The rich
have given of their wealth in taxes
and in voluntary offerings. Hospitals
have been established and maintain
ed, ambulance corps have been or
ganized and operated by private
funds, and men and women of
wealth have stayed in the fighting
zones to do the actual work when
they might have been enjoying their
luxurious homes.
In America, the Goulds, the Van
derbilts, the Astors, and multitudes
of others possessing great wealth,
both men and women, have left their
homes and business and gone wher-
ever they could do the most good.
So long as wealthy people put up
their wealth and their flesh and
blood like other people, La Toilette
and the l. W. w. and all their tribe
should blush to make such state
ments as they do.
During the summer there was a
Red Cross drive to raise funds for
the multifarious departments of the
work of mercy, and in our own coun-
try, the states where people have
been most active in pushing the pro-
paganda of socialism, populism and
I. w. W.-ism, there has been the
least response to the invitation to
raise funds, or to raise men for the
army. Note these differences:
Idaho was asked to raise $3.50, 900
and raised $3O5,OOO, or 2O5 per
cent. Ohio was asked for $3.50, 900
and gave $603,000, or 240 per cent.
North Dakota was asked for $780,
900 and gave $4,000, or 43 per
cent. South Dakota gave "a per
cent of what was asked. Michigan
gave ia per cent; Massachusetts,,
1876 per cent; and New York 119 per
cent. The City of Portland, Oregon,
where they have been disturbed by
agitation and reforms, Socialistic
taxation, long ballots, referendum
and recall till the state and cities
are sick of it and have been voting
down everything of the kind and
warning other commonwealth to go
slow on such things, was asked for
100000 and gave $403,00O or more
than double what was assessed.
Oklahoma, the state that was
made up of people from everywhere
at the time of "the push" the state
that was filled by reformers, agita-
tors, 'scrapegoats and the like, re-
sponded to the call for men by arm
ing against their own country and
