THE WoBBLIES AGAIN

1t is exceedingly unfortunate for the
state and the nation to be obliged to di-
vert a portion of its attention from
winning the war, in order to direct il
at curling the l. w. w. in north Ida
no. But the authorities have gone after
the 'wobbliesN in a determined man
ner, and have been successful in check
ing a situation at St. Maries which,
for time last week threatened to de-
velop into sanguinary encounter. At
fairs now seem to be well in the hands
Of the representatives of law and order.
Shortly after the outbreak, troops from
Fort Wright, Wn., and fifty members
Of the state guard company at Sand
point were rushed to the scene, and sue
eeeded in quoting the agitators.
The trouble started last Friday, when
1t became known by the l. w. w. that
W. NJ. Nelson, former l. w. w. branch
secretary, held at st. Maries for trial
on charge of criminal syndicalism,
would be taken to Occur d 'Alene. A

mob of 200 I. W. W., with designs on
liberating their fellow sufferer from
prison, formed and attacked Sheriff No.
land of Benewah. county, knocking him
down. Immediately an alarm was sound
ed, and armed citizens quickly sur
rounded the rioters and held them in
check.
Every I. W. W. in Benewah county
will be rounded up by the military
authorities and carefully questioned
for it is determined to rid north Idaho
of this menace.
Moscow, also, expects trouble with
the ]. W. W., when the case Of three
members of the organization, charge
with criminal syndicalism, aye called for
trial. The cases have bceu set by
Judge Steele for April J. Governor
Alexander has ordered the mobilization

Authorities have been prompt to
deal with the "wobbHes. and. as was
the case at st. Maries Friday, when the
sheriff was unable himself to cope with
the immediate situation, storekeepers
and professional men, armed with shot
guns and other crude weapons, rush
ed to the scene, and took the law in
their own hands. While, in most in
stances the civil and military author
ties are able to handle these agitators,
it is well for the civilian population
to bear in mind that situations such as
the l. W. w. affair at St. Maries are
likely to arise most anywhere, and to
be prepared to meet even the unfore-
seen.

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO

North Idaho newspaper publishers, in
session in Moscow last week. were ac
corded the privilege of inspecting the
University of Idaho, and were favor
ably impressed with the wonderful edu-
cational work being done through the
various colleges of the institution.
While the University of Idaho is one
Of the newer institutions Of higher
learning in the country, it is rapidly
forging to the front. And it is graf
flying to note that the activities at
the university are not SO much of the
81 culture" type, but rather center
around the more practical phases of
human endeavOr. The college of agri-
culture of the University of Idaho has
long been noted throughout ,he north
west for the really successful expert
mental work which has been done. The
value OF the college of agriculture has
been many times demonstrated to the
satisfaction, no only of the univer-
sity, but Of the public.

for much experimental work TO be
done that is of genuine value to min

has been recognized by the big min
ing men of the state, and they are
lending every possible assistance to
the school Of mines.
One might go on to enumerate the

Idaho has been placed on what is
known as fifty-fifty wheat consump-

wheat products must be sold for con
sumption only to the extent that sub
stitutes of equal weight are available

A GOOD NAME

good name is acquired after year,
of rectitude. Every man bears a name
Some bear good names. Some bear ba,
names And some bear names that are
meaningless rather Indifferent.
man who bears bad name cam redeem
his NAME through prolonged and con
scientious effort But, if he decides to
redeem his name, he must first realize
that he has a tremedous task before
him. He must conquer seemingly insur-
mountable obstacles before the good
name is won.
Men who bear good names have ac-
quired them, not through birth-right,
but through honest endeavor, through
all their lives, to do that which is
right and proper, and to command the
respect Of their fellow men. A good
name is the most valuable asset that a
man can possess.
There are men, many Of them, who
hear good names, but who yet do not
realize the Importance of a good name.
They do not realize how easily good
name may be lost They do notlunder-
stand that one may in a day destroy
that which it has taken a lifetime to
construct.
There are persons who prey upon the
good names Of men, and who make CAPT
tai for themselves and their schemes
out Of the unsuspecting man who al
lows his good name to be used to in
huence his neighbors-to cause his
neighbors, who in him hold answering
confidence, to fall into the trap Of the
grafters
Grafters are at work today And
their activities extend into north Ida
no. They carry with them on their
tours men who are supposed to be in
duential in the community. These men
orc the tools of the men promoting the
humbug. Whether these men who thus
allow their good names to be prostitut
ed are paid for the privilege, iteis diff
fcult to learn. But they are se-fia
the same purpose as the capper in "a
fake horse race or any gambling game.
They are betravmg their friendship, to
.he interest of the professional CRATER.
Perhaps many of these eappers are i'm
nocent of what they really are doing.
But the man whom they have betrayed
some day wiz lcan-hu. to his SCR
row. And at the same time a good
name, which it has taken years to con
'truct, will be lost. Then what has the
.apper gained! He has lost the conf
lence of his fellow men, and the graft
'r has departed, caring nothing for his
lieutenant who has thus so greatly aid
ID him, but with his pockets filled with
gold The CRATER 5 hopes have been
more or less realized. The man who
las been bilked is loser though per ;
aps only in a small amount. He still
his good name. But what
bout the cappei? He is the goat. -

FOUR MORE DAYS
 TO PAY POLL TAX

Only four more days remain for the prospective voters of Jefferson county to pay their poll taxes. According to statements fro mthe tax collectors of flee many have paid within the past few days, but that many are delin quent.
 In order to accommodate those men who, or account of work, are unable to come by the office during the day. Collector Hawkins has announced that he will keep the office open every night until February 1. This is the last opportunity to pay this tax and the failure to do so will debar a man from voting at any election during this year.

 A 10 per cent increase in assess ment is effective on all property as sessed after February also. There is already 50 cent delinquency fee placed upon assessments.

 Count Czernin. the Austro Hun garian foreign minister, it is reported from Vienna on good authority, has announced to the Austrian delegations that the text of his speech on the Austrian war aims was forwarded to President Wilson before it's delivery. This has caused a great sensation, ac- cordinE to the Cologne Gazette, which interprets it to mean that actual steps had already been taken to bring about an exchange of views between the western powers and Russia and Ger many.
 Pan-German papers express the opinion that Count Czernin's peace in- vitation to President Wilson is in- dicatfve of a break in the Austro-Ger- man alliance.

Congress appropriated that sum of money which Anniston de- clared would be necessary for the pur- chase of the field and any sum which Anniston citizens were required subse- quently to raise was due to Annis- tons miscalculation of the sum which would be required. It is understood that Anniston for the largest camp in the United States and one of the few permanent camps. paid less than $135,- 900, sum which already has been re- turned tenfold.
