Herald, Neg PERCY.

The good people of the United States
are not niggardly in their pushing OF
the banner of Christianity and the
spirit Of the Golden Rule Into the be-
nighted lands of the earth.
The work Of saving the souls of the
heather of far-off countries is bur-
den which we cheerfully bear, and each
time we open our purse we feel that
We are a shining cog in a great wheel
which performs its work both nobly
and well.
Our earnest and self sacrificing mis-
sionaries penetrate even unto the re-
hottest corners Of the earth, bearing
tho banner of God and spreading the
doctrines of Christianity, teaching the
ignorant, the superstitious and the
idolatrous to do unto others as they
would be done by, and to love all peo-
pie as they love themselves.
It Is beautiful thought!
It IL a noble deed!
1t is the natural result of our ad-
vanced and enlightened civilization.
1t is what is to be expected of this
great and God-fearing country of ours.
True, in our own beloved land we
have a few minor disturbances.
We have our profiteers. and our agi-
tators, and our bunco steerers. Yes.
we have all of these and coolies more OF
their kind, and the story has not yet
been told.
But. you know, we are enlightened
and a Christian nation.
We know right from wrong, for do
we not teach the beauties Of life to
those who walk in darkness through
out the world?
Perhaps, some day, when we have
converted japan, and China. and Tur-
key and India, and Africa, and all Of
the other unbelievers to the true doc
trines of Christianity we will give a
few hours Of serious thought to the
problems of our own country.
Perhaps, even our converts from
other lands may send their own mis-
sionaries into our midst, and convert
us to the beauties of our own Christ
ianity. and lead us gently back into
the moss grown path of the Golden
Rule.
Perhaps-who knows?

RIPPING RHYMES
BY WALT MASON.
THE VICTIM.

All the world is shot to pieces,
men are roaring, days and nights,
for a lot of boons and bulwarks,
and some fifty kinds of rights
capital is swatting labor, labor's
roundly hitting back, and our mills
are standing idle, and our trains
have jumped the track. All the
struggling. fighting forces seem to
glory in the wreck, while the Ultl-
mate Consumer gets the cleayer
In the neck. oh, the Ultimate Con-
sumner in the scrap has little part:
he'd be happy just to labor In the
office or the mart, and to feed his
wife and Riddles, and to buy the
rags they need, and provide
against the future when he's old
aud gone to seed; but alas, the
bricks are flying, and the scrap
pers are on deck, and the Ultimate
Consumer gets the dornicks In the
neck. And the Ultimate Consumer
has a sad and weary lot, for he's
always bound to suffer. whether
others do or not; others do the
frantic talking of their grievances
and Ills. while the Ultimate Con-
sumner goes ahead and pays the
bills; it's time of sound and fury
and the madness knows no check,
and the Ultimate Consumer gets

manded shorter houra ana improved
working conditions. but the question:
30 to the commission fdr settlement.
BY this arrangement the operators win
not hold out against the strikers ana
they will be allowed to resume their
former duties.
The settlement constitutes q victory
for no one. The operators were forced
to give ground in the demand for a
wage increase, but the miners fell far
short of their aims in that respect. On
the other hand. the miners were not
able to establish their claim for shorter
hours. After many efforts the govern
ment scored, through the nations chief
executive, in bringing about an adjust
ment. The people alone suffered.
The coal strike was in point of i'm
portance, one Of the most far.reaching
industrial disturbances in the history
of the country. A minority engaged
in a certain industry. held out against
a majority, fell far short of it's de-
mands. but succeeded in making the
vast majority suffer. The arbitration
commission feature which President
Wilson injected into the controversy,
is the entering wedge. we believe, to
a national plan for the arbitration of
all big industrial disputes. This is the
only. logical way to to bring about
a settlement and one which
vast majority of the people will ap-.
prove. Strikes only seek to cripple in
dustries and while claimed to be the
greatest weapon of organized labor,
should give way to fair and just arbi-
tration in which both sides will give
and take and class discrimination,
bad feeling and other evils that go
hand in hand, will be substituted for
fairness and saneness.

THE MAN FROM MISSOURI.

JOSHUA w. Alexander Of Gallatin,
.UJ Mo-, has been selected by President
Wilson as secretary of commerce, a
post, the Importance of which is meas
ured by the words of the chief execu-
tive in his recent message to congress
in which he heralded the United States
as the greatest capitalist in the world,
and the UNFOLDING of which claim rests
largely upon the man who sits in the
cabinet as secretary Of the department
of commerce.
Inquiry into Mr.. Alexander's quail
fications shows that he is a college
graduate. and a lawyer. He was
mayor of Gallatin for two terms and
once served az member of the Gala
tin school board. After being a circuit
Judge for a time, he went to the state
legislature and used that as a stepping
stone to congress, where he has been
since 1903. His only other conspicuous
position was the Craftsmanship of the
international conference on safety of
life at sea. Mr.. Alexander is a Demo-
GRAFT
Some of President Wilson's cabinet
appointments have been regarded as
unfortunate by the people because of
the feeling that men better qualified
could have been named. 1t has been
a practice of the president to cling
closely to his friends. and to feel that
he displayed wisdom in his selections.
1t Is possible that the president knows
something about Mr.. Alexander that
the general public does not know, and
that experience will show the new sec
rotary to be eminently qualified for the
place. Meantime, performance will
speak louder than promises. That Mr..
Alexander has held no more important
posts than those named is not to his
disadvantage II he really is "a student
of economics and knows the needs of
commerce. There is no showing that
he does. but there must he something
about him that made tho president
feel he should have the place. The
country will withhold Judgment while
it watches the new member get into
action. i

business was good. the LaSalle man
ager made this reply:
THE only way to get rid Of the wi
cious circle of increasing prices and
increasing expenses is for some one
to knock the rim off it," he said. II
don't know how We can get a reduction
of prices unless some one starts it.
That's what we've done, in the hope
that the movement back toward rea-
sonable profits will spread through all
lines of business Everybody knows
that this is a day Of extortion. There's
no use denying 1t. Get while the get
ting is good seems to be every ones
motto.
Our hotel could have advanced
rates last night to S. minimum for
every room, and we could have made
$4,000 extra as well as not. We could
do the same thing Through the whole
month of December, this being the big
gest convention month in the history OF
Chicago. Our banquet halls are taken
for the next two months. Accommoda-
tions everywhere are at a premium
Business was inever SO good as 1t is
now and will be for the next year. But
were cutting our prices because we
want to be fair with the public"
Perhaps this isn't business" and
perhaps 1t Is. Nobody will question
that 1t Is unusual business. II it is
business the reason is because prof
iteering in the long run must have q
come back in business depression, and
so If 1t is voluntarily halted, il ex-
tortion ends before the goose IL laid
low that lays the golden egg of pros
perity, the reaction and depression
may be avoided, and prosperity will
continue so much the longer and In a
normal and reasonable way.
The action OF the LaSalle hotel man.
agement, anyhow, appears to be a
genuine attempt to start a movement
of downward prices though it Is
doubtful whether it will have such an
effect. The trouble with such vol
unteer movement is that it is pri-
marily a matter of individual con-
science. The management OF this ho-
tel was shocked at its own profits and
perhaps alarmed at the inevitable bus
mess consequences of continuing the
day of extortion" indefinitely. 1t is
only here and there that a profiteer
can be actuated by such a considera-
ton of the common good. Get while
the getting Is good seems to be every
ones motto" the La Sale manager
says, and probably will be for most
profiteers as long as there is any get
ting to be got.

STRICT ENFORCEMENT.
New York SUM,

Perhaps the statutes against revolu-
tionary conspirators need strengthen
ing, but nobody knows whether they
do. What the country needs is strict,
incorporating enforcement OF the
laws we now have, by officials with
no delusions about their functions, who
will show no weakness in the perfor-
nance Of their duties. When we have
had a taste of this we shall know what
we ought to do in the way of enacting
new laws, and until we have it there
is little to be gained by writing new
statutes.

THE END OF THE STRIKE.

n F there is lesson to be derived
II from the recent strike Of coal
miners which tied up the great pro-
ducing coal fields of the United States,
It is that there cannot be repetition
Of 1t and some means must be pro-
vided by which disastrous strikes may
tween employer and employe arbi-
trated. The strike is ended and the
miners have gone back to work after
being out over a month during which
the coal output Of the country was re-
|duced to the minimum and there was
near Industrial stagnation. 1t will not
|be until next summer that the country
|will fully recover from the month lost
when the strikers were OF the Job,

The country must thank President
Wilson, whose compromise proposition

l1nNQUEsTIONABLY Boise has
lt)| reached that stage in it's develop
ment where the energy and efforts Of
all who have the best interests of the
city at heart must combine. BY work
ing o-ordinately it can make possible
those things which a city of it's size
: must have to give it an outstanding
position commercially. socially. relig-
1ously and educationally. That is the
object Of the plan bringing about the
organization of the Boise Chamber of
Commerce.. When that plan has been
perfected, the Boise Commercial club
will pass into history and in its place
there will stand a much larger organi-
cation perfected along broad, demo-
cratic lines.
Tho community dinner held here
preliminary to the inauguration OF the
campaign for members in the Cham
Der Of Commerce, was reflective or
the possibilities before this city ii an
effort is concertedly made to unite all
factions into a representative organi-
cation, the sole object of which is to
build bigger and better Boise. The
spirit and the desire are here.
Failure to include within such body
the representatives Of all functions,
to conserve the energy of hundreds of
people glad of the opportunity to do
their bit for Boise, has been one of
the mistakes Of the past. In various
walks of life lin Boise. in industries,
business and professions. there are
many men and women who want to
help their city, who are it's most con-
sistent boosters, who ever have good
word for the place where they are
making their living and their home.
Collect these people into one represen-
tative body and great force is welded
into compact body that will drive for
q given object and get it. II the Cham
Der Of Commerce accomplishes this, it
will be doing great service for Boise.
the influence of which will be felt far
beyond the corporate limits of the city.
No city in the west has greater pros
poets than Boise. No city is blessed
with q more ideal Iocation-the geo
graphical center of a great state of
unlimited resources. Few have SUI
perior climate. One must travel long
way to find a more metropolitan COM
munity. Boise has these and many
other advantages. It's greatest draw
back has been its failure to capitalize
its assets, to strike out and build for
itself. Boise needs the main line of
railroad. first. 1t should have a
civic confer and park system. 1t needs
factories. 1t should expand along edu-
cational lines. 1t should have COM
munity center, a public auditorium, for
the people and built by them. We
could enumerate infinitely many things
not at all impossible for Boise IL the
citizens as a whole insisted on having
them and worked to that end.
Any movement, tho object OF which
is to bring this about, should have the
hearty Endorsement of the residents Of
Boise. Certainly 1t has that of the !
Capital News. The Chamber of Com
merce proposes this, 1t asks every citi-
zen to become a party to the program
The movement and object are worthy of
the support Of those having the inter-
ests of Boise at heart. A membership of
200o 10 none too large to accomplish
such worthy aims.
