Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1919-02-13

Rev. Martin deeply stirred his au-
dience in hhis address. He predicted
that the time has come when recogni-
ton must be given to the men who
went to France 100000 strong ana
turned the tide of the worlds crisis in
favor of the allies. He asserted that
they, with others waiting In canton
ments here to go to France, will in
the future direct the policies of this
nation. and In doing so will stamp out
disloyalty and demand a square deal
for all. He touched his audience when
he said his brother had died in the
battle of the Argonne forest. Discon-
tent must be eliminated when the SOL
diers return he said and they must be
given greater responsibilities.
DAWN OF NEW ERA.
Ex-Governor Gooding said, in part:
1--WE are standing today in the dawn
of new era. Every country is facing
new conditions. Militarism is passing
away in the sense that no nation will
be permitted to maintain large stand
ing armies for selfishness and greed,
and the acquiring of new territory.
For centuries in the old world millions
have been employed in maintaining
great standing army and building up a
military organization that has proven Il
menace to the world. When these ar
mics are disbanded some mighty prob
lens and new conditions will be forced
upon the world, for with nearly half of
all their people employed in maintain
ing their army and navy, there has not
been work enough for years in the old
world for all the people to do. Let us
not forget that the first great duty Of
every government Is that Of finding
employment for its people, for no ma
ton can long endure that does not give
employment to it's people,.
MUST PROTECT LABOR.
"This country will be affected by
the new conditions that will exist all
over the world, and to my mind Re-
publican principles are more essential
to this country today than ever before
If we are to keep our own people en-
ployed we must protect them against
the cheap labor of foreign countries,
for whenever you ship In a million dol
lars worth of foreign products under
free trade laws, you ship in a million
dollars worth of foreign labor. We
must not only protect our industries
and labor against cheap foreign COM
|
grafton laws, and call halt on the I'M
desirable element that has been immi-
grating to our shores in late years. We
have made our mistakes. In our mad
rush for wealth and development we
have accepted people from every coun-
| try on earth almost without question,
until today 1913 different languages are
spoken on American soil. In the city
| a 60,
eigners neither read, write nor speak
our language. -
81 am confident that the Republican
party when 1t takes control of the
house and the senate on the fourth of
! next March will pass some rigid immi-
grafton laws. and they will insist that
in the future there shall be but one
language, one flag, one country in the
hearts of all the people of this country.
mot only will the Republican party
| have a great work to do in the future
| in protecting the business interests
and finding employment for our peo-
pie, but they will have to stand guard
over the constitution, and the flag, and
the rights Of the people as they have
never done before.
SERIOUS SITUATION AHEAD.
II believe that out of this war much
good will come in the future, and that
| the business interests and every good
loyal citizen has been thoroughly
aroused over the grave danger that
confronts our country today, and that
in the future they will all take an ac-
tive interest in politics. for they real
ize full well that there is an organiza-
ton in this country that would be as
cruel and as selfish as the Huns, il
they were given an opportunity, and l
refer to the organization known as the
II. w. WIS, the Bolshiviki party of
America.
Let us not r-estimate the great
problems that are before our country
today, for if we do Bolshevism will
make some inroads as they have done
in North Dakota.
CONFIDENCE IN PEOPLE.
At have no fear OF the downfall of
this republic, for l have confidence IN
the patriotism and loyalty of the
American people, for l believe gov
eminent is always safe In the hands OF
a people who have charity in their
hearts. We have given more to charity
in this worlds war than all the rest oil
the world has given to charity sine
the morning stars first shone over the
creation of man. have confidence IN
the people who have fed the hungry
in Europe, and who have administered
to the sick and wounded upon every
battlefield, and l have confidence In
country that has such womanhooo
and motherhood as ours who have Sent
their sons to war with a smile on theil
Hips and babe them 'Godspeed.'
"An American army never did re-
treat, and ] am satisfied that there Is
more OF that same spirit that came
spirit that came from the American Of
ficer who surrounded by Huns in
shell hole when called upon to sur
render sent back word to go to hell
and take us If you cam The only thins
I regret in this war is that the Huns
did not stand still long enough to giv'
our boys q chance, for IL they had Their
would have been a congestion OF Huns
