satisfied with the record of the local

STAGE SETFOR
NEXT BIG BOUT
Interest Runs High In DeCourt'
Sante| Match In Caldwell
December 8

Whatever criticism fans may have
held regarding the last athletic show
given here under the auspices of the
Caldwell Athletic and Amusement
club will be forgotten in the eager ex-
pectancy of the coming wrestling
match between AID Santel and Nick
De Court which is scheduled for
Monday evening. Dec. g. This is a
real attraction and one of the best
possible bouts that could be arranged
for local fans.
OF the standing of the two men in
their profession. there can be no ques-
ton. Santel probably hasn't a match
at his weight in the United States
and has repeatedly handed much
heavier men the drubbing Of their
aspiring careers. De Court is some
what heavier than Santel and has the
record of being the only man of the
country who has thrown Santel.
Accident Casts Match.
This happened in Boise early last
fall. De Court hurt his arm and was
unable to continue the match, an un-
fortunate occurrence which probably
prevented him winning straight falls.
In addition these men have met in
other bouts with varying results but
a,cL 49,, a f,p, baya eaa,, n 1oon ha ~
fought match of real merit.
Claire Ward of Buhl, was no match
for Bob Roscoe, the local wrestler in
their go here Thanksgiving after
noon. Touted as winning rs straight
matches, Caldwell fans are still won
dering whom Ward could have de-
feated. He must have had some con-
fidence in his ability since he paid
his own expenses here and did not re-
ceive a cent for his work, the match
being arranged on a winner take all''
arrangement. Roscoe disposed of him
in Fl minutes for the first fall with
a combination arm scissors and head
lock. He repeated the performance in
slightly more than 10 minutes by the
same means.
Boxer Gets Dates Twisted.
Two boxing preliminaries were Of
very ordinary calibre. One boy who
was expected to give the best show
of the evening, got his dates twisted
and didn't arrive in Caldwell unit
about s o'clock in the evening. d
the three bouts, consequently, onl,
two could be held.
One real source of satisfaction
available for fans was the fact that thu
room was adequately warmed ant
comfortable in spite of the coldes

Support Present Action.

Caldwell citizens in general have
expressed themselves as being more
than pleased with the action of the
federal government Wednesday after
noon, which, though tardy promises
to be effective in bringing contempt
proceedings against officials of the
Miners union for failure to enforce
the injunction issued recently by
Judge Anderson of the United States
court under whose terms miners were
ordered to return to work, pending
amicable efforts to adjust the wage
controversy. So far the attempt to
continue the production of coal at the
pre-strike rate by inducing men to OPP
crate the mines has met with little re-
suit and daily reports of actual pri-
walton because of the coal shortage are
becoming more frequent. Production
is about 40 per cent of normal and the
reserve supply is being rapidly ex-
'hausted.

are just as detestable in time Of peace

hostile and is if possible less hateful
than the creature who, while enjoying
our hospitality and prosperity con-

DAVIS STANDS FOR
REAL AMERlCANISM.

The people of Wallace and the large
number Of citizens from other parts of
the Occur d'Alene district who had
gathered here to celebrate the Fourth
OF July were greatly gratified when
the announcement was made that
Governor Davis would come up Sun
day and speak on the closing day of
the celebration, and they were more
than gratified when they heard his
speech, 1t was a fitting close to a
splendid demonstration in honor of
our national independence and the
great victory of American arms in
the world war. In his forceful ad-
dress Governor Davis emphasized his
firm adherence to the principles enun-
ciated by the trainers OF the republic
and made it plain that he was Oppose
ed to entangling alliances that would
involve our country in the settlement
of purely European questions, and his
language clearly implied his opposition
to the entrance of our country into
the proposed league of nations. The
anarchistic element under whatever
name was denounced by the governor
in unmeasured terms, and he left no
doubt in the minds of his hearers that
power of his office will be used to
protect every citizen in his rights
and to the stamping out of disloyal
propaganda that has for its ultimate
purpose the overthrow of free and or
derby government.
Governor Davis is devoting his eff
forts to giving the state of Idaho a
splendid business administration. 1t
was upon his recommendation that
the commission form of government
was adopted by the last legislature
and he is confident that it's operation
will result in the realization Of his
highest expectations, and that tangi-
BILE evidence of its benefits will be
realized by every taxpayer of the state
before his term expires. The govern
or's discussion of both state and ma
tional affairs made fine impression
upon his hearers, who were more than
ever convinced that the chief execu-
tive Is fully able to solve the large
problems confronting him in the ad-
of the government Of the
state.

PRESS MUST COMBAT POISON OF
DiScONTENT.

George Horace Lorimer, editor OF
the Saturday Evening Post, INDUCES
in an interesting and instructive talk
to young writer's through the New
York Sun of Sunday, June 20. What
he says is designed to encourage the
young and ambitious in the field of
story writing as applied to both fact
and fiction, and he makes 1t plain that
he welcomes new writer's, for while
many are called and but few chosen,
there Is nevertheless the fascination
of expectancy in each manuscript eX-
amined which may be likened to the
prospector's quest for gold. Some of
the best stories that have contributed
to the popularity of the Post were
from unknown authors, and Mr.. Lori
mer says that he would much prefer
a good story from an unknown man
lHdh u Hiouclotciy Soou JIG lioHi NIP
ling" He handles $4,000 to 10000
manuscripts year, from which it Is
plain that he exercises a great influ
ence in the development of new writ
ers. He prefers to deal with strang
ers, fearing that his kindly interest in
his friends might influence his judg-
ment in passing upon their produc
tons. Mr.. Lorimer says the rewards
for successful writer's are greater now
than ever before, and the condition Of
the country should encourage and in
spre those whose ambitions lie in
that direction. While his remarks are
especially applicable to magazine
writers, this broad statement should
appeal to all writer's and publishers
who are striving to better conditions
in our common country:
| America has never been so
good country, so clean coun-
| try, so altogether desirable
country in which to live as 1t is
today, Yet we are permitting the
| yellow dogs of discomfort to bark
| and yelp their hydrophobic lies in
the press, without bothering to
print the adequate antidotes of
truth beside them. The muck
raker has been succeeded by the
| purveyor of half lies, near lies and
| damned lies. Divine discomfort
| heretofore the great American in
centive to true progresses be-
ing superseded by new discon-
tent that believes in nothing but
the devil and all his works.

THINK, THINK, THINK.

(The Manufacturer, Salem Ore.)
Labor radicalism and threatened
strikes and industrial warfare have
just about forced industry into cor
ner.
During the past six months, indus
tries such as mining have maintained
operations for two purposes only, to
hold their organizations intact and to
give employment to labor during a
critical time.
The reds have kept up their cry,
however, for still higher wages and
shorter hours in the face of a declin-
ing market.
Continued labor radicalism can now
bring but one result, the closing Of
mines and other industries Conser-
vative labor leaders may stem the
tide. If they do not, the radical ele-
ments win the day, close industries
and create unemployment with its
empty dinner buckets and suffering.
Let the honest laborer council with
the honest employer before he assists
in creating such havoc
