The watch maker tells us, if we in
tend to buy watch, it is best to get
one made in America, on account of
repairs. All american watches are
standardized and thousands of new
parts are made in the factories daily,
which will fit without further adjust
ment, while the repairs to swiss watch
have to be fitted entailing an extra

LEARNS ITS LESSON

No sooner did the Canadian gov
eminent begin to deal firmly with
the Winnipeg strike than it broke
down. 1t needed only the arrest
of the alien agitators, the calling
out of troops, the dispersal of a
strikers parade and the proclama-
ton of martial law to depose the
men who had usurped the govern
ment of the city.
The winnipeg uprising was so
plainly an attempt to wrest control
of the city from the lawful author
tiles that the original cause has al
to have been demand for collec-
tive bargaining, but that is mere
pretext, for few employers oppose
that custom. 1t seems to have been
rather to enforce collective bargain
ing on behalf of all workmen with
all employers by the lone big I'M
lon,' alias the /. w. W., which
prides itself on not making binding
agreements and breaking up separ-
ate unions. The result would have
been a species of tyranical aligarchy
akin to Russian soviet.
Now that the strike has failed
the strikers who have caused sc
much loss, suffering and inconven-
fence to the public, are all rushing
to get their old jobs back They
should be told to go to the !. W. w
leader for a job or move to Russia

they wish to establish here.-The

SHOULD OROFINO CELEBRATE.


A good movement is being agita-
tee in Orofino this week among the
merchants in regard to a Fourth of
July celebration for next year. II
has been five years since such an
event has taken place in this village
and no doubt the people of Clear
water County would be We'll pleased
to celebrate here. The Foruth this
year was quiet and there was moth
ing going on in the village to indi-
cate that it was cur national patri-
Otto day.
This proposition has been brought
to the attention of the publican
with request that we put 1t before
our readers and boost it We are
day program for Orofino for next
year and can think of no reason
why Orofino should not carry it out
1t would draw the farmers to town
and establish a closer and better re-
lationship between them and the
people of the village, benefit
which, if the only one derived
would well be worth the time,
money and effort expended.
An Independence day program, an
honest-to goodness one that would
entice the same people TO Orofino
the following year, costs money, re-
quires strong organization that is
capable of doing a large amount of
work and boosting, to successfully
accomplish such a feat. The pro-
position is being agitated among the
local merchants and has thus far
met with much enthusiasm and
favor.
The agitations, too, are not with
out feasible plans and suggestions
1t has been suggested by a number
that business meeting be called
among those interested. for the per-
fection of an organization whereby
the mater could be decided and ar
ranged for. In regard to the
hOhCy CHu VI SuCH a pIOpOSlllOn,
plans which could be agreed upon
would make the financing feasible.
For instance, say on two different
days in each month, previously
agreed upon, five per cent Of cash
sales of business could be set
aside for working fund The
amount thus obtained from each
business would be rather small and
unburdensome to any one concern,
but taken collectively from the var
1ous businesses interested would
make handsome sum, and in a
years time would be sufficient to
give Orofino a good independence
day program with possibly a sur
plus for the ensuing year.
This plan which is Just a sug-
gestion, would extend the prepar-
alton for a celebration over the per-
iod of a year and the increasing
fund and program properly kept be-
fore the public eye, would stimulate
growing desire for people to come
to Orofino where they know they
will be royalty entertained. 1t is
the opinion that the farmers would
be well pleased; insomcuh, that his
merchandise would cost him no
more than usual, knowing that a
part of such purchase money would
be used 10 entertain him IN the flu
ture,
Let's get together and decide yes
or no.

ers broke skulls, hands and feet, and
beat them up as best they could. A
great number of the bandits fell on
the streets unconscious. They never
expected such deal; they lost their
heads and did not know what to do.
They made another attempt, but they
could accomplish nothing because the
Jews were everywhere beating them
mercillessly. With wild, desperate
shouts, they took to their heels. As
they ran through the Jewish streets
the Jewish defense companies encoun-
tered them and greeted them with
blows. The bandits barely escaped
with their lives. Many of them were
left with fractured skulls, broken
hands and feet-almost dead on the
streets. The command Of the defense
then organized patrols on the Jewish
streets, and not a single Gentle could
go through them without permission
of the sentry. On the next day the ban
dts were reorganized, and again at
tackled the Jewish districts, in larger
numbers, but they met with the same
fate. David j. David, a Jewish boy,
fell victim in this pogrom. The en-
tire Jewish population mourned his
death, and he was given an imposing
funeral. 1t is true that we defended
ourselves capably, but we suffered
much from the pogrom. At last the
government interfered and established
order. Our defense not only gained US
the respect Of many Gentiles but also
brought terror into the hearts of the
bandits. Now, we no longer fear po-
grom--they simply won't dare make
one. When Jews show that they can
also give licking, there is reason to
fear them"
The news that the Jews took their
defense into their own hands and that
they vanquished their foe, created a
sensation all over the country. Owing
to the activity Of the censor, at the
order Of the government, the news
papers wrote very little Of the event,
and the news of the attempted po-
grom at Bucharest never crossed the
Roumanian boundaries.
The Bucharest Jews believed that
their brave defense would make DO.
groms in the future impossible. In the
other cities where the Jews could not
organize themselves they suffered
much from the pogroms, and these
pogroms | will describe in later arti-
cles.
