WHY NOT?

The biggest problem before the
American people today is not the
League of Nations, or the German
peace treaty. II is not the forma-
tlon of a gigantic corporation to care
for the floating of foreign loans so
that the suffering nations OF Europe
may finance their reconstruction
operations.
The great overshaddowing prob
lem that the genius of the American
people must solve is that of saw
ing here In America.
How can that be done2 That is
the burning question.
It can not be done thru mutual
distrust Of capital and labor-agree-
ments are not made that way.
II can not be done thru industrial
strife. That leads to further dis
trust-breeds hatred and destroys
property.
It can not be done by the domini-
tion Of either factor IN the dispute.
Il can be done by cooperation
based on mutual trust In specific
agreements mutually arrived at upon
as fair a basis as men can draw them.
That seems a simple program. but
II is not, so II seems In these days OF
chickering's and conferences where
one side or the other wants to rule
or ruin.
II is most apparent that neither
labor nor capital trusts the other.
Toward the public they are each as
sumlng the familiar attitude OF "the
public be damned" II Is high time
that the public let each OF these sets
OF autocrat become aware OF the
fact that II has made different ar
rangomonts and will not be damned
by eithor of them.
The public must make capital and
labor agreo-or II that can not be
done at least make them observe
their mutual contracts. That's the
rub. The contracts between capital
and labor are unalterable contracts.
They are binding on capital only
40 II seems 10 the public, tho the
writer knows that capital too has
boon guilty OF breaking labor
agreements.
To accomplish this the agreements
lotwcen operators OF various indus
tries and their men or women work
ers should be made a matter OF pub
lie record and the public should be
made a party to these agreements with
suitable machinery employed 10 see
that the contract Is lived up to by
each of them. There must be con
neoted Herewith severe penalties for
the violation Of contracts and these
penalties must be made TO apply to
labor as well as to capital
The labor leader who signs such
contract should be as responsible for
it's fulfilment as the employer Tn
Ill that Is done there Is little use to
talk arbitration.

Just little hard luck kept the
Ontario High School from complete
ly humbling the naughty crew from
Nampa last Friday, But It was
some battle the boys but up and they
should not feel down hearted II
takes a game crew to stand and fight

minutes. No one knows that better
than those who have played that
great old game of foot ball, Ontario
is proud of its team, and the team
deserves that pride The boys have
no reason to feel down hearted we
should say not, Just think OF the
fun of playing in such a game. II

when the mothers of the land read
about the miners asking for a six
hour day for five days per week
they must get envious And II is no
wonder What would those miners
have done il their mothers had ask

would they do NOW II their wives
went on a strike for that condition
of labor?

all this strike talk ls merely hysteria.

the fundamental principles of our govern
ment and tear down its institutions"
1t is such expressions as this which re-
veal how well-srounded is the loyal Ameri-
canism Of the great mass Of the people.
The farmers, in common with the majority
in all other branches Of industry, will not
sanction or tolerate any movement which
endangers the government or its institu-
tons. They may have their own eriev-
ances and sometimes may feel they are
not receiving as much consideration as
they should. but their discomfort cannot
be diverted into participation in any sort
OF revolutionary movement
The example set by the Farmers Ma
tional Congress should be followed by SINH
lar organizations whenever they have an
opportunity to give collective expression
upon this vital subject. 1t will have
stabilizing effect upon that element which
takes pessimistic view Of the situation
and is inclined to be alarmed at the evil
dences Of industrial unrest.

The Service Star Legion.

Tag Day for the benefit of the French
orphans was greeted with downpour Of
rain last Saturday. November list. there
fore preventing the girls and boys doing
the amount Of business expected. So we
have decided to continue the drive until
November 18th, giving all an opportunity
TO help.
Do you know those poor children of
Northern France are existing on the small
sum of ten cents day, which is given
them by the French government. and it is
all it can afford to give at this time. So
the Legion is trying to raise this money to
double their daily allowance that they may
not only exist in poverty and distress. but
heroic fathers who died for their country's
freedom as well as ours. Then, must we
let their children die for the want Of food
The Legion hopes every man. woman and
their personal duty to help promote this
worthy cause.
We are trying to- reach the people through
the schools, the children Of which are COL
lecting the funds. We expect to publish
in each Of our county papers the amount
each school collects, and we feel sure the
neighborhood of each will feel pride in
having their locality give a substantial
showing and will assist the school children
by sending their names and contributions
TO the teachers Of their nearest school, as
it is very hard for the children to reach
ALL the homes.
The Legion is only asking for rs cents
and it is known any reader of this paper
is able to give that little. Stop and think |
Your rs cents will feed some poor suffer-
ing child for two and a-half days. and with
an equal amount given by his government
he can, at least, have one square meal
The Legion is extending an invitation to
every mother. wife. sister and daughter Of
an American soldier or sailor to become
a member Of the Service Star Legion and
be present at the next meeting. to be held
Tuesday. 2. p NJ. November 18th. at the
Club House. in Rockville. Please do not
wait for a written invitation. but come.
You will be most cordially received.

Measures For Protection.

The action of President Wilson in re-
storing to the fuel administration the power
to fix prices and regulate the distribution
Of bituminous coal is fully justified by the
existing situation. While there has been
no tendency as yet toward profiteering
under the threat of coal strike, and while
assurances have been given by wholesale
dealers of their intention to refrain from
charging exorbitant prices under any cir
cumstances, it is only proper that the fuel
administration should be in position to
protect the public against any profiteers
who may not share these worthy senti-
ments.
If the shortage of soft coal becomes as
acute as is anticipated these regulations
will be found to be very helpful in protect
ing the public. The reserve supply Of coal
is knewn to be small compared to the re-
quirements, but in some localities dealers
have been forehanded and have amassed
a considerable quantity. As the demand
for this fuel increases prices are very likely
the government intervenes. In some COM
munities dealers will have recourse to
wagon mines. or small operations. the
output of which will command high prices
unless held down by the government
Under the Presidents order prices will
be fixed at the mine. and the rules which
prevailed during the war for establishing
the margins Of profit for the wholesaler
and retailer will be followed. At the same
time DR.. Garfield has revived the priority
list, and by placing the railroads at the
head of the list he insures the continuance
of transportation so long as any coal Is
available.
The revival of the priority list acts prac-
tically as an embargo upon coal, since so
. many other interests are given preference
on the list that coal for shipment abroad
will not be reached at all in the event of
any serious shortage. This is evidence Of
a proper consideration for the American
people which will be fully appreciated.
With the possibility Of a coal famine fac
ing this country it is wise to curtail ship
ments abroad.
For the present the old machinery Of
the fuel administration will not be set up.
Dr. Garfield announces. since it would re-
quire too much time to do this. Conse-
quently the Department Of Justice. through
Its agents and district attorneys, is to be
entrusted with the enforcement of the
maximum price lists, while the railroad
administration is to look after distribution.
Should the strike continue for along period
the State representatives Of the full ad-
ministration may be called again into ser
vice.
While production is now the main con-
sideration. it is encouraging to the people
to learn that steps are taken to protect
them in whatever supply is available.
There must be no profiteerins and no fav-
oritism.
