to blame for this. But. the fact is

You are Fool to Deny these Facts.

Somebody was heard to say, re-
ferring to the figures and facts pub
lished last issue on the fgront page
of the Republican relative to the f.
nancial condition of the county that
it is a lie. And there is the record
in black and white that the state
ments are every one absolutely true
and correct. We give the official
figures from the report of demo-
cratic county auditor, and conclude
with the official warrant call from
the county treasurer They speak
for themselves. Only fool will
question them. But in case you are
not satisfied just ask the county
auditor. Mr.. Kaufman will tell you
the Republican has stated facts, and
il you are not then satisfied-well
go your way in your self-determina-
ton to deny the facts. The Re-
publican would like to be shown
public. AS a matter of fact tax
payer could have bet every time on
the Republicans statements and
won. Stop and think about it, and
also consider this: The man who
would bet on the statements in the
local democratic paper would have
lost ninety-nine times out of every
hundred, and we are making this
one too small.

A RECOMMENDATION BY THE
FEDERAL FOOD ADMINISTRA-
TOR FOR IDAHO.

In order to prevent the loss of
food stuffs from destructive fires,
the Federal Food Administrators for
Idaho urgently recommends and re-
quests that those directly concerned
observe the following regulations
list. That, for the purpose of elm
mating fires, every railroad appoint
a man or men, to carefully inspect
spark arresters or other equipment,
on engines before they leave the
terminal for a trip; and keep a rec
ord of such inspection which can be
referred to at any time by our duly
authorized agent, in the event that
it becomes necessary to investigate
the origin of a fire. Itstle
end That the farmers set their
wheat shocks back at least one hun
dred feet from the railroad fence,
and plow fire guard of at least
three burrows between the shocks
and the railroad track. aNe
3rd. That the farmers stack
their hay and grain as far from
the railroad tracks as possible. but
,, where the stacks are left in thefield
within a quarter of mile of the
tracks, burrows be plowed around
them: and the ground from which
the hay and grain were taken be
carefully raked and all rakings re-
moved as soon as possible.
4th. That fire guard be made
at least ten feet wide over all ditch
banks. where dry weeds and grass
exist from which fire might spread
and burn up grain and other stored
crops.

The Red Cross is hourly assuming
increased burdens as the war goes
on, and to meet this work and serve
humanity greater financial aid must
be provided. Let us, therefore, not
forget that the Red Cross needs our
help, not spasmodically. but con-
stantly, and will until some time
after the war ends.

HOMEMADE r PHILOSOPHY.

We have came to believe that the
desire for an automobile is the be-
ginning of wisdom.
We are learning that lot of the
the things we thot before the war
were necessary, are really non-es-
sential. For instance, white bread,
high top shoes and fancy socks.
Some folks make mistakes just to
be original.

WAS BIG LADIES' DAY
Southern Quintet Entertained C. of c..
Guests at Noon Luncheon.

The Topeka Chamber of Commerce
scored another big success today on
the occasion of its fourth official
ladies' day celebration. Practically
every seat in the dining room was
filled with the fair visitors, and the
sound of feminine voices added a
homelike touch to the swiss steak on
the menu.
Of course the Southern quintet from
the Orpheum theater was the prime
attraction today, and the members
did themselves proud. The Southern
quintet sang several popular numbers,
mostly of a patriotic nature.
1t seems that nothing in the way
of a program is complete these days

One more new industry which has
IA zen root in this country as result
of the war is the growing of Bermuda
onion seed. The United States de-
partmenc of agriculture recommends
that American seed growers should
supply the home demand for Bermuda
onion seed. stating that it may be
profitably grown in certain regions of
southwestern United States. Texas
produced nearly 5000, 600 crates of
Bermuda onions last year. The grow
ing of the seed has proved successful
in the Coachella valley. California

THE LABOR PROBLEM.

Out OF our entry into the war may
grow more satisfa Glory relations be-
tween labor and capital, between en-
plcyer ;;nd employee and between both
and the public. Every attempt to de-
wise a wholly satisfactory plan for
the adjustment of labor disputes in
the past has been to some extent
failure.
A conference is going on in Wash
ington between five representatives of
employers, designated by the national
Industrial conference board, and five
employees, named by the American
Federation of Labor. The object is to
secure agreement between employers
ana their workmen on wages and
hours OF labor, to prevent strikes or
disputes and get the best results from
capital and labor while the war con-
ditions continue. This relates chief
ly to industries depended upon for an
effective support of the government
ana its operations during the war, but
it suggests ideas about the relations of
wcrkmen and employers applicable at
all times.
A main purpose of the conference
| is said to be % obtain results without
the exercise of public authority in any
form IF compulsion. such as COM
Wandering labor for any special work
or fixing" rates of wages. One thing
to be attained is the prevention of
strikes, which, it is said, have been
since the war began "a large factor in
slowing Up production of war mater
ials." Strikes in shipyards, for in
stance, where there has been so much
occasion for effective progress, have
caused more than 100000 idle days,
which IS equivalent to more than 49,
| 00c tons of ships''
| One important thing to be accom-
plished is to secure an adequate labor
supply thru making no discrimination
between union and non-union work
men, adjusting wages fairly with ref
erence to the cost of living. and max
ing the conditions healthy and COM
Portable in working places.
Nobody can deny the desirability of
agreement on these points, so as to
get the best results for the govern
ment and for the country during the
war, say the New York Journal of
Commerce, but it is to be hoped that
the result will be a lesson of expert
ence which will endure in its effect

All the experts on the war appear
"a agree that the great and decisive
battle must be fought on the western
font. Apparently the military com
nanders have believed the same
Thing. AS a result of this expectation
both armies have prepared so thoroiy
f5r defense that neither side seems
willing TO attack the other in force
1t does rot, therefore. appear lmpos-
sihle that the war may end in some
other way while the existing deadlock
in France may continue to the end
Al attack by either of the opposing
armies on the western front, which
d.d not result in victory might easily
lose the war for the attacking parties
Possibly neither feels willing to take
the chance and both are waiting for
something to turn up in some other
part of the fighting world. n heht
to draw would entail a heavy loss OF
lie without having served any impor-

WILSON AND THE CLOSED SHOP.

Whatever may have seemed to De
a contributory cause it appears that
the fundamental grievance of the men
in the shipyards, who have gone out
on strike at critical moments since the
war be gan, have been actuated not so
much by a desire to obtain higher
wages as by a desire to engraft the
CLOSED shop" principle upon the
shipyards which are doing the most
important work which the government
has in hand. If this movement
should succeed it would mean that no
American could do patriotic work in
union.
There are many benefits from
union membership. of course; but
there are many workmen who do not
care to join a union--just as there
are many workmen who do not
care to join any other organization.
AS American citizens. they should
their ability to get a JOB be made con-
tingent upon their doing SO.
1t is gratifying that the president
took so prompt and energetic a posi-
ton against the proposals which
Leader Hutchinson made to him. Mr..
Wilson has yielded readily to the de-
mands of organized labor when he
believed that organized labor was in
the right. This fact may have led
the shiLyards workers to think that
the president is easy. Probably they
an0 other bodies of organized work
men now realize that there is limit
beyond which they cannot go.
