OPPONENTS AND SUPPORTERS

Editorial from New York Times
---- (Democratic,) August IL, 191S....
Mr.. George Huddleston is the rep
resentative in congress of the Ninth
Alabama, the Birmingham, district
He is candidate for reelection
Two other Democrats, one of them a
clergyman, want his place. In a
telegram replying to an inquiry by
Frank P. Glass, of Birmingham, Mr..
| Wilson says:
do not feel at liberty to make any
equally loyal, but think l am justi-
fled in saying that Mr. Huddleston's
record proved him in every way an
opponent of the administration.
One is more than little preplexed
to find the clue and key to Mr.. Will
sons selections, Endorsements and
regulations of candidates. In the
Sixty-fOurth congress Mr.. Huddles-
ton and every other Alabama repre-
sentative voted against the Kahn and
the Brandegree amendments to in
crease the army, against volunteer
army under federal control, against
an increase of the navy. One mem
Der, Mr.. Abercrombie, didn't vote on
the Kahn amendment. Mr.. Burnett
didn't vote on the provision for a
volunteer reserve army. Mr.. Hud-
dleston voted with the rest of the
Alabama delegation on these four
matters. His divergence was his
vote, on March l, 1917, for the So
called Cooper amendment forbidding
American ships to carry arms ar am
munitiOn in their carpoac
1t was shameful pacifist and Ger
man proposal. Mr.. Huddleston de-
serves to be beaten for having fav-
ored it. But this cannot be the rea-
son of Mr.. Wilson's declaration as
to Mr.. Huddleston, for did not Mr..
Wilson support, and vainly, the re-
nomination of Mr.. Gray, of Indiana,
who likewise voted for the Cooper
amendment? In the Sixty-fifth con-
gress Mr.. Huddleston voted against
the raising of an army by conscrip-
ton, but so did four other Alabama
representatives including Mr.. Dent,
chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs. Mr.. Burnett and Mr..
Almon voted against the declaration
of war, Mr.. Huddleston voted for it.
The test Of opposition to or support |
Of the administration is elusive.
TO leave Alabama for Michigan,
what was the peculiar record Of |
loyalty, what the remarkable patrio-
tism and support of patriotic meas
ures shown by Mr. Henry Ford that |
caused Mr.. Wilson to select him as |
the. Democratic candidate for United |
States Senator? Doubtless the rea-
sons Of all these selections and re-
jections are clear to Mr.. Wilson, but
they battle the public. |

ScOttish-American soldiers who fell
in the Civil War. At Southampton
cemetery the graves of A. e. F. men
who died en- route to Europe or in
hospitals in Britain were visited. The
Y. M. c. A. held impressive services
at the biggest patch of Yankland in
Britain, and over the resting places
of buried comrades.
DR.. Fort Newton, of Iowa, preach
ing at City Temple, London sug-
gested that after the war day
should be set apart, holy and tender,
on which the free nations who have
fought together might unite in laying
flowers on the graves of the men who
died that the world might be free.

A MESSAGE TO EN-.
PLOYERS OF LABOR

The government insists that this
state ascertain the help needed to
take care of the harvesting and
threshing of the crops, the farms,
mining and railroads having prefer
ence. All surplus above these de-
mands must be used where most
needed. ! feel quite sure that there
is no surplus of laborers in this
state; in fact, from the best informa-
ton we have, We can utilize all our
man power, and that there is really
no surplus, and that every man who
can give service can find employment.
1t is imperative that those who need
help now or at some future time
must lille their wants with the county
agents in their several counties
where they live, or the employment
service. Every person who can give
service should also register with one
of these agencies. Thru the county
agents this information is furnished
to the district U. S. employment SER
vice office in which these counties
belong, and from the district office
reports are made to the state head
quarters; from there to the district
office at Seattle. If the farmers and
Others who need the help will not
make their report Of their needs for
help, and those who can give service,
how is it possible that we can know
the real conditions? Everybody
must work at some thing somewhere,
The government insists that we must
know where we are at. How can
we find out If the people will not
act? This service has been astab-
lished to help the people. Will the
people try to help themselves? The
government is asking for 1000 men
from Idaho to go into essential war
industries. We will not be required
to furnish these men if we can show
to the government that they are
needed at home, but we must do this
or every available man will be taken
and placed in position where he
can serve his country best. This
must be. done unless we can know
that they are needed here. If you
want any help, say so. If you want
a job, make your application at the
proper place. A vigorous campaign
will be made and every available
man will be sought out.
We ask that the county councils
of defense of the several counties and
commercial clubs, and all organiza-
lions that are able to give us assist
ance in this work do so. 1t will be
up to every community to list it's
needs and help take care of the labor |
situation. We cannot be responsible
If they fail to respond to the wishes
Of the government. Do not delay.
Act at once. We must know.

State Director.

BOISE PEOPLE DIsAPPROvE

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 27.-The peo-
pie of Boise. with mighty few excep-
tions and irrespective of political
division, strongly disapprove the eff
forts OF certain individuals to pre-
vent A. c. Townley, head of the
Nonpartisian league, from speaking
here the other night.
The attempt was naturally abor-
tive because there was no organized
movement behind it. The Ada
county defense league, composed of
around 500 men of all shades of po-
litical belief and representing every
element of life in Boise, declined to
participate in any attempt to bar
Townley. About 100 members met
and adopted protesting resolution
stating that Townley should not be
allowed to speak, leaving it up to the
authorities.
When Mayor Hays showed he had
no intention to interfere further than
to notify the managers that a per-
nit must be secured for speaking in
the city park, few hot heads de-
cided to act on their own responsible
ity.
Only one man, a Democrat wildly
hostile at the Nonpartisan league,
made any outbreak and he was
quickly hustled off to Jail by the
sheriff. This caused a little excite
ment and few fist fights, but the
rumpus quickly subsidized.
The Nonpartisan league leaders
took the fullest advantage of the bad
break to arouse their followers and
to direct their remarks to the few
who had attempted to interfere
rather than to issues. The league
membership, however, understands
that the people of Boise were not be-
hind the attempt. If any number
had been, it goes without saying
Townley would not have been pre-
mitted to speak, and doubtless would
not have attempted to speak.

EDITORS NOTE

This paper is publishing a series
of articles for the purpose of show
ing people in what respects we waste
money by the present methods Of
making and repairing roads, how at
the same time we cause a high rate
Of depreciation on cars and other
vehicles while travelling the rough
roads, how we lose time in travel and
lose money moving crops on poor
roads, and how we can gain in every
respect by arranging for a series of
bond issues and a great campaign of
road work following promptly on the
close of the war.
The plan advocated is to spread
fine gravel on the earth roads during
the winter months and press it in
with the steam roller in the spring,
thus initiating what nature has done
in certain places in making the best
and most durable roads we have in
the county. tt

ARBITRATION IN
WAGE DISPUTES

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 2S.-The prin-
ciple of arbitration in wage disputes
has been established her thru the &C
ton of the Idaho Power company in
relation to controversy with en-
ployees on the principal street car
system, a subsidiary of the power
company. The company agreed to
a substantial increase in wage, altho
a wage agreement was still in force,
on account of the high cost of liv-
ing having reached new heights
since the agreement was made. But
it did not come within cents an
hour Of the demands made by the
men. The Idaho Power company
then laid down the principle Of ar
bitration in this case. The trolley
company Is to select one man, the
employees another and they q third.
Their decision is to be final. This ar
rangement has been agreed to by
the men. It is believed the action Of
the power company will have a
salutary effect in the statement of
industrial disputes at any time over
the state.

CHICKEN FEED FREE

The average stackyard for grain
is dry, dusty ground where a great
deal of the grain gets trodden into
the DIST and cannot be cleaned by
the threshing machine. The first
shower that comes, moistens the
mass and sprouts the grain. Get the
dust and grain scraped up into piles
so 1t will not get wet. Then at your
leisure pile it up in some place where
you can dump some of it out each
day all winter for the chickens to
scratch and pick in. 1t will give the
fowls good exercise at times when
they need it, and it will afford them
good feed that costs you nothing, for
If left in the dust it is a total loss.
By saving the dust and grain you
convert your loss into eggs and de-
licious meat. tt

Mir. Agard explained the bill in detail and it provided that off, cers and directors shall own stock to the value of at least $100. The only objection he had heard against the measure was on the ground that il was applicable both to directors and officers.
 Frederick A. Jones, of the Rhode Isl and company objected. He said many of the officers of the company were not stockholders but were selected be cause of their ability. In his opinior the bill would work hardship or many corporations, more especially small conforms.
