Would Bar Foreign sIackers.

Foreign-born slackers who surren.
dered their citizenship papers rather
than fight for the United States
are to be prevented from securing
work in Shoshone county. Dissatis-
faction has been expressed over the
fact that a number of such slackers
were being employed by mining com.
panies and talk of forming com.
mites to notify such companies to
discharge such men has been freely
heard.
The Idaho statutes provide that
no private corporation may employ
a foreigner who has not first declared
his intention to become citizen OF
the United States.
Since the war has brought out the
fact that there are residents who
preferred to give up their prospective
citizenship the law is to be strictly
enforced and offending corporations
punished.

The shells fired by the naval guns

taken a drastic move to solve the
rice situation by removing the i'm
Port tax on foreign rice. This meas

Japanese people and tends to lessen
the hardship resulting from the ex-

WORK FOR THE WOUNDED

NHAT disabled soldiers are by no means
disqualified for positions enabling them
to be self-supporting is revealed in the
thorough survey of the labor field con.
Quoted by the state departments of labor
health and education. The report compiled
from the result of questionnaires sent to
commercial and industrial establishments
a year ago particularizes nearly $4,000
positions which could be held by men suf-
fering from a wide variety of injuries.
There are more than 5000 different Jobs
which in case OF vacancy would be open to
the blind. and about the same number for
the totally deaf. Seventy positions are
listed as suitable for the legless, but only
one for man without arms. Only a small
proportion of the firms solicited, however,
have specified work which they would i'm.
mediately give to the injured veterans.
As the state cannot dictate the operation
OF private enterprises. its researches have
necessarily a somewhat theoretical value.
What they do prove Is that the disabled
soldier, as regards self-support, is in some
lines on a parity with the man Of normal
physique. The fact should at least be con-
ducive to the morale Of the injured even
though economic conditions and the per
sonal predictions of employers render, as
ever. the clinching OF Job difficult busl-
ness
The best that can be hoped is that when
this important preliminary investigation
IL concluded, firms with available employ
ment for the injured will be generous tc
those who have sacrificed so much tc
patriotism.

A GOOD TINE BY ALL

THE juxtaposition Of facts does not neces-
1 sarily establish a logical, connected
story, but It is often productive OF signifi-
cant thoughts that pursue an unwavering
course. The retail coal dealers gave a
dinner this week to Francis A. Lewis.
former chairman of the Philadelphia
County fuel committee, and good cheer
seems to have prevailed.
THE coal business" declared one Of the
merchants in black diamonds, was never
better than IL is now"
The people" asserted Mr. Lewis, who
think that the cost of coal will come down
after the first of next month are totally
mistaken. Coal may not come down in
price again for the next ten years"
Let US be fair. Let US consider these OBJ
servations as unrelated statements. Let
US not put two and two together. They
