LOnginO. the Financial Wizard

Candidate A. II. Longino fol-
governor addressed the people oil
Aberdeen at the City Hall, Tues
day. The crowd was not large,
but was representative, consider
ing the inClemency of the
weather.
Mr.. Longino's speech did not
differ materially from what he
had said at other places. 1t is
known that the presentation of
his record as governor by his
OverZealOus friends pretends that
he achieved as only a financial
wizard could.
We submit that these friends,
along with Mr.. Longino himself.
are mighty likely talking men,"
and can come as near transform
ing an error and making it ap-
pear as wisdom as any group of
politicians extant; but the cold
facts, as they are written into Mr..
Longino's record as MiSsissippi's
governor, bars any possibility of
the idea that he can pose as any
kind of a sane financier and sue
cessfully get away with it.
In order to elucidate exactly
what kind of a financial wizard
Mr.. Longino proved himself to
be when he was governor of the
State. we reproduce from the
Madison County Herald the fol-
lowing editorial, which the editor
of that paper compiled from the
history of Mr.. Longino'S admin
istration:
when Longino went into the
office in 1900 there
was in the State treasury three
hundred and thirty-four thousand
dollars. When he went out there
was twenty-five thousand dollars.
A difference of 100000.
When Longino went into of
flee there was only eleven thou
sand dollars owing by the State
on unsecured indebtedness; when
Longino went out there was One
and Thirty-One Thou
sand dollars. A difference of
$1,000

Oh. the new State house was

true, the bonds and the new

for at a total cost of 81, 100000.

Communities traversed by neigh

prefer to expend this fund on thor

L. F. Parsons, chairman of the coun-
Gil, in speaking of the drive, said
there appears to be tendency on the
part of some to hold back in contribut-
ing to this drive. The publicity crit
icizing the Y. M. G. A. and intimitating
that, that organization had $100,00O,-
900 on hand and undecided as to how
to spend together with the suggestion
made that the Y. M. c. A. contribute
the amount asked for in this drive, is
causing some to hesitate and is
hampering the drive.
The matter of the inefficiency of
the Y M. c. A. is one question: the
starving women and children of the
countries of the near east is another.
1t is anything but a Christian spirit
for us to let these defenseless people
starve because we may not approve Of
the action of some Of our officers,
or individuals. II upon
proper investigation the Y. M. G. A.
has been found to have been derelict
in it's duty, it will be caused to suffer.
To endeavor to whip the Y. M. G. A.
over the backs of the defenseless peo-
pie of Armenia, Syria and Persia
would be more reprehensible than any
charge so far made against the Y. NJ.

TEACHING MEXICAN REBELS
TO BECOME FARMERS

JUARES, MeX.-With the transfer
of the command of the northeastern
military zone from General Francisco
Murgui to General Augustin Castro,
the agricultural experiment which
General Murmia has been conducting
at Molinar, near Chihuahua City, came
to an end
General Murguia conceived the plan
of putting hundreds of rebels from
the south, who had been given am
nesty, on the fertile lands of northern
Mexico and assisting them to earn
living. He started his first expert
mental tract at Mailman and another
later at Laguna Station. Farming i'm
pliments, horses, mules and wind
mills were supplied these native farm
ers who arrived from the south with
their families. Although the expert
ment id not have sufficient time to
prove its value, substantial crop was
being made by the farmer rebels when
the scheme was abandoned by General
Murguia when he left for the south

To GIVE HEALTH
BOARD MORE POWER
LEGISLATURE TAKES ACTION TO
SAFE GUARD HEALTH OF
PEOPLE OF IDAHO

BOISE.-Centraliza of power
would be placed in the board of health
of the state in way which it has not
before bad by the passage of bill in
troduced yesterday by the women
members of the house.
The bill provides that when the
board sees danger from epidemics it
may enact rules and regulations to
be carried out by county officers.
Much conflict has existed during
the influenza epidemic where county
officers have made their own rules to
handle local conditions and several
instances are of record where cities
or towns under quarantine have re-
fused entry to board of health offic-
ials. The new bill gives the latter
power to enter any city, town or
building and provides a severe penalty
for refusal to allow this action by
those responsible

$4,000 AUSTRIANS
COMING TO AMERICA

WASHINGTON.-T of ItaI-
ian and Austrian war prisoners are
planning to come to America as soon
as possible, John B. Densmore direc-
tor of the federal employment service,
told the house immigration committee
Tuesday, at the beginning of hearings
on bills to prohibit immigration.
A Red Cross worker who visited
the prison camps informed him. Mr..
Densmore said, that 100000 Austrians
were in Italy, most of whom expected
''to drift to the United States as fast
as they can," along with thousands of
italian prisoners in Siberia.
Discussing industrial and employ
ment conditions, he sad that up to
this time the demand for labor was
about equal to the the supply and that
the change from war to a peace basis
had resulted in little labor disturbance
and a minimum of unemployment.

RIGID QUARANTINE
PUT ON IN PULLMAN
HOMES HAVING INFLUENZA TO
BE CLOSELY QUARANTINED
ALL MEETINGS STOP

PULLMAN, Wash, Jan. 16.-Pull-
man again came under the influenza
ban today when orders were issued
by City Health Officer L. G. Kinney
closing theatres, churches, lodges and
all public assemblies. The order does
not include pool rooms and bowling
alleys, but it is expected that these
will be closed if spread of the disease
continues. The epidemic is confined
almost entirely to school children, al
though in few instances entire fam
lies have been stricken with the di-
sease. 1t is estimated that over SO
children are i'll, and six teachers have
fallen victims to the malady. All
of the cases are mild.
All homes in which the disease ap-
pears are being quarantined, admit
tance being denied except to doctors
and nurses. The gauze masks that
featured the previous epidemic have
not put in an appearance again, but
many citizens are taking the serum
treatment to ward off the disease.

DEMOCRATS BRAND
THE N0NPART|zANS
CAUCUS FORMED AND REAL DEM
OCRATS SIGN PLEDGE AS SUCH
OTHERS REFUSE

! BOISE.-Taking a positive stand in
their relation to the men elected as
nonpartisans, regular democrats of
| the Idaho house of representatives
are now completely organized.
When the final count was made it
showed ten regular democrats, six
nonpartisan and two of those who had
been listed as democrats in the re-
publican fold. The latter are Hyrum
| SeverSon of Jefferson county who
was listed as a democrat by mistake
and William Allard of Power county
who has always been republican and
now sits in that party's caucus.
Asking these listed as democrats to
sign pledge is the scheme used by
the party organization to make the
line of demarkation between the reg
ular and assumed democrats, plain.
Following is the pledge: 1--WE the un-
dersigned declare we are democrats
and recognize as paramount the demo-
cratic state and national platform and
that we owe allegiance to no other po-
litical organization" The following
men signed the declaration: Hitch
cock of Bonner; Patterson of Valley;
Hoff of Bear Lake; Harrison of Sho-
Lemhi; Needy of Bonner; Pugh of
ersof Nez Perce. r.

that the birth Of reorganization of
the party is at hand for it is known
that the action was taken after con-
sultation with prominent leaders of
different factions which have warred
in the party in the past.
w. S. Shearer is the democratic
house floor leader while Leslie Harri-
son is permanent caucus chairman
and w. M. Snow is secretary. That the

Basketball Game Tonight.

An error was made in reporting that
the basketball game with the Spokane
university had been postponed until
Friday night of next week. A
request was telephoned to The Star
Mirror office to announce that the
health rules would prevent crowding
the gymnasium and it was thought
there would not be room for people
from town. In getting this over the
telephone the person who took it mis-
took the statement to mean that the
game had been postponed. The game
will be played tonight but only part
of the seats will be filled as the health
rules provide that some of them must
be vacant.

BIG STRIKE IN
SEATTLE SH|PYARDS
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND MEN
WALK OUT-OTHERS EXPECT
ED TO FOLLOW THEM

SEATTLE.-Seattle shipworkers to
the number of 25,500, according to
estimates of labor leaders, will go on
strike next Tuesday morning to en-
force wage demands, as the result of
a decision last night by the metal
trades council. Similar action, it was
said, was expected of the metal trades
workers in Grays Harbor, Tacoma and
other cities.
The action, it was explained, was
the result of dissatisfaction with the
Macy wage award, the men demand
ing a basic daily wage of So for me-
chanics, 81 for special trades and Sc
for helpers. After refusal of the
board OF appeals to change the Macy
award, the metal trades submitted
their demands privately to the ship
yard employers, asking a blanket
agreement. The employers said they
would stand by the Macy award
In Seattle eleven wood and four
steel shipyards will be affected by the

MINERS THROWN
OUT OF EMPLOYMENT
REDUCTION OF LEAD AND ZINC
PRICES CAUSES HARDSHIPS
IN COEUR D'ALENES

closing OF lead and zinc mines in
northern Idaho has thrown many
men out of work who are now unable
to meet their Liberty Bond and Thrift
Stamp obligations, according to the
District Miners union No. ii with
headquarters at Burke, Idaho which
is petitioning the Idaho State FEEDER
alton of Labor to bring this matter to
the attention of the proper author
tiles; it claiming that the mine and
smelter workers bought government
securities on the assurances of their
employers that they would assume the
bonds and refund any money paid on
them in the event that the workers
were unable to pay. This they refuse
to do, claims the union.
How Miners Are Pinched.
The petition follows in part:
AT meeting of the District Min
ers Union, No. IA, held at Burke
January 8, the closing of some of the
lead mines and the curtailment of pro-
duction in others at this time was a
matter of serious consideration
Two of the largest properties have
suspended entirely and others are re-
duclng their force to the minimum of
production Was it not for the fact
that it is the worst season of the year,
when those who could have provided
and stored fuel for the long winter
practically compelling them
to retain or give away what they have,
makes the situation most distressing.
Help in All Drives.
During the many drives we have
had for Liberty Bonds, War Savings
Stamps, Red Cross and other war re-
lief, we were asked to buy, buy, buy
until it hurts and then some. We
were assured steady employment if we
bought or donated in installments;
the employer promised,
in case the workman could not pay for
he bond, he would refund the amount
paid thereon and assume the bond
himself
With those rosy promises before
hem, but little trouble was expert
snced in selling bonds or stamps, with
he result that wages were mortgaged
or months on the prospect of steady
work, for the purpose of helping our
government to finance the war and
'ack up our members at the front.
