NORTH DAKOTA PRECEDENT

Nonpartisans in Idaho have come to
reflect on the seeming inability of any
member to obtain facts relative to the
management of the league and the dis
position of funds obtained by solicita-
ton for memberships. That the ar
bitrary "hands off" policy employed
by Idaho league leaders has the sane
ton of national officials of the organi-
zation is apparent in lieu of recent
remarks accredited A. c. Townley.
When approached by a committee of
three farmertnembers, Townley is
reported to have told the farmer
delegation:
"If it wasn't for me, you would have
no organization. am putting across
what you fellows want. In four or
five years I will have accomplished
what | want, and you fellows can take
it and run it as you damn please.
What the hell do you want to be but
ting into my business for? This is
none of your damn business"

BUY EARLY OR NEVER.

Some Caldwell shops are already
Haunting holiday offerings. 1t is still
two months until Christmas time, but
it isn't one minute too early to begin
making our usual arrangement for
that festive time.
1t will take more than social dis
quietude, strikes and even a nation
wide industrial tieup this winter to
prevent the most FESTIVE observation
of the Chirst's birthday anniversary.
America is at peace and her boys are
at home-most of them, anyway.
America is immensely prosperous and
more than willing to pay for Yuletidc
adjuncts.
Much will be said before December
rs urging people to make their holt
day purchases early Much has been
said every Christmas time for years,
This time the appeals will have a
note of warning.
1t you know what you want, get
it now before it is too late. Unpre-
cedented buying power, enormously
increased demands, make it most prob
able that dealers cannot this year pro-
vide for their customers wants. If
you wish to take advantage of attrac-
tive displays, of nicely selected offer
ings, do your Christmas shopping
carly. If you wish to paw over
wares rejected by frantic shoppers and
fail to find anything approaching
approaching what you desire, wait
until two days before Christmas, the
way you usually do.

BRINGING 1T HOME.

Last Friday an infant baby died in
Caldwell-cause, bronchial pneu-
monia. But behind this lay the fac,
that the family was unable to keep
the home warm-cause, no coal.
That child came from family that
could not forstall the circumstances
which led to the tragedy. Almost
poverty stricken, the object of series
of misfortunes, no possibility existed
for stocking their coal cellar during
the months of plenty. Theirs was a
hand to mouth existance.
Every plea known to man for coal
was made by the father. Neighbors
generously divided their meager sup
ply. He went to a Caldwell coal
dealer to find farmer loading four
tons from a car that had sneaked
through somehow. That farmer con-
fessed to having several tons at home
but the fathers pleas for even a sack
could not, would not be provided. II
was business, preceding orders took
the coal. Circumstances were of nc
weight.
Stories like this will become com
monplace before the winter is over
Probably million American families
will be in dire distress, shivering and
freezing because there is no coal

RADICALS AND THE REST OF
US.

Ninety per cent of the strikes Of
the United States, today are directly
contrary to the wishes and orders OF
the men at the head Of the striking
unions. Practically the same proper.
ton are directly contrary TO con-
tracts with employers.
1t is probably safe to say that in
the great majority of those cases, the
strike was not resultant of long hours,
poor pay or unsatisfactory working
conditions. The men struck because
they were melted to do so. Radicals
apparently dominate the field and
Samuel Gompers, A. F. of L. presi-
dent.S is assailed from twithin and
without.
Everywhere the tendency is marked.
Men. dominated by flow of mean
ingless words. are forsaking dignity,
honor and decency. Labor agree
ments are scraps of paper, worse
than German treaty, it seems.
Opinion is crystalizing rapidly
against the ruthless abuse of power
which organized labor, at the insti-
CATION of radicals. is employing. 1t
is becoming increasingly apparent
that America is to have two parties,
the Radical and the Conservative.
We are not portendinp revolution
or even instruction, but the volume
OF opposition to orderly government
has reached such proportions in the
labor ranks that we are face to face
with the issue. Only united stand
and concerted action can avert a
usurpation Of the liberties we enjoy.

OVER THE TRACES AGAIN.

Utter disregard of the established
: order Of things seems to be one of
the dominating characteristics of the
Nonpartisan program. Latest advices
from North Dakota indicate an in
tention by the league to spread its
politically Socailistic doctrines through
the agency of the state university.
Not long ago, Idaho virtually dis
charged the head of it foremost state
educational institution for meddling
in politics when the worst that could
be said was that the man in question
was fighting for the interests of the
university. We did not tolerate even
that. Surely no man would be fool
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1919-11-07

hardy enough to endeavor to spread
political propaganda through that
agency.
Our constitution declares for free,
liberal education. Religion, creed,
cult and revolutionary principles have
not place in state supported educa-
tional institutions. To what means
will not radical in power resort to
perpetuate his power?

more than three-fourths Of the

that problem in So moving and

jest and gravity, Of fun and
