SACRED RIGHT TO STRIKE

wanted higher wages, but because theit
leaders had determined to use them in
a strike to force the government TO do
what it did not want to do because IL
had received no mandate from the peo-
rle.
'"They talk of the sacred right to
strike. What is there sacred, or where
III Is their right, to plunge a whole peo-
pie into misery because they want to
rule the country"
Bolshevism and 7. w. W.ism are one
and the same, said the speaker. They
are only the modern and logical de-
velopment of the class war started by
Carl Marx in Germany in the COS. They
are not merely a protest against auto
cratic government, but are absolutely
against everything democratic. They
would abolish flag, government, church
and marriage.
Mrs. Pankhuis SITS subject was What
] saw of Bolshevism in Russia" She
prefaced her narration Of Russia's des-
truction by telling how the militant
suffragists in England had turned from
their agitation against the government
MT the beginning of the war, to work
for and with the government In re-
cruiting, Industrial reorganization and
manufacture of munitions. Their
training in politics had equipped them
1or especially useful service, and she
proudly told of their accomplishments
which were so vitality effective in help
iHS to win the war.
RUSSIAN DECENTRALIZATION
In 1917 Mrs. Pankhurst and small
group of women speakers had gone to
Russia to tell the Russian people what
the people of England wanted in the
war, but they found it useless The
%orkmens and soldiers councils, so
called. were then in control, but did not
fcnal government failed and was sue
ceeded by the present Lenine -Trotsky
regime, which is killing LOYALTY and in
diligence until the country il pros
trste, an easy victim to the origi,1ators
Cf Rolshevism
The Allies and the United States
are being urged to give whatever Is
necessary in the way OF support to the
loyal factions in Russia to counterfeit
and defeat Bolshevism.
At the conclusion of her talk Mrs.
Pankhurst answered questions asked
by members of the audience. These
answers brought out as did the main
part of her talk, her clear conviction
that what exists in Russia TODAY ia the
direct work of Germany, and that the
same decentralization Is threatening in
every allied country.
Personally. the speaker is far from
popular rs 'ization of the desperate
suffrage ito OF ten years ago. She is
slight and very womanly. She speaks
gently, and her emphasis Is that of
spiritual conviction. At the conclusion
Of her appeal to the intelligent loyalty
of Americans, especially the women,
she said:
I'VE are trustees for that civiliza-
tion for which our young men died in
France. We must set our faces against
class divisions and class hatred and
substitute cooperation. Their young
lives are gone. It is for us to take
that trust and to preserve it. May
God give ussthe faith and the courage
and the strength to do it,

How Glass War Carries Out
Germany's Plans.

I'VE are not through with the war
with Germany. And we will never be

are necessary to prevent Russia from
being controlled and used and drilled
and employed by Germany to crush us
ALL" This Is the decided and emphatic
message Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst is
giving the people Of the United States,
as she expressed 1t in her address at
the high school Friday evening, a
number on the Boise Lyceum course.
Only few persons heard Mrs. Pank-
bursts speech. The limited number OF
seats In the high school auditorium
were only half occupied. Those who
may have imagined she would take on
the old suffrage issue guessed wrong.
for her theme is -the-minute Ill
present interest, and her speaking tour
is for the intensely practical purpose
of rousing Americans to the danger
of temporizing with Bolshevism.

Frank H. Scott Who Was on News
paper There Saw Tidal Wave.

Frank H. Scott who is visiting E. o.
Snedeker, of this city, recently came
from Corpus Christi, Texas, which was
struck by the tidal wave that swept the
country. He was there at the time
Of the storm. Scott married Miss
Laura Snedeker of this city about a
years ago and returnd to Mexico to
visit.
At the time of the storm he was
connected with "The Caller" a daily
newspaper of that city. He said the
people had only a few minutes warn
ing before she wave struck the city.
Large numbers went to the more sub
stantial buildings and stayed there un-
til the water subsidized. In one part
of the city there were approximately
four thousand homes ruined on ac-
count of the storm.
He said the town was located on a
bay and protected from the gulf by
three long and narrow islands twenty
two miles out frcm the city that ser
we'd as a breakwater. When the wind
changed and came from the direction
of the gulf driving a wall of water
before it, these were completely wiped
out and to the time he left they had not
come above the surface Of the water.
Now the town is located directly on
the gulf where before it was miles
from it.
One steamship that was at the pier
in the bay was lifted by the wave and
carried several hundred feet to dry
land. This same ship suffered almost
the same experience in a wind storm in
1916. The town of Corpus Christi a.
lone lost about about 1000 people in
the water it has been estimated, ac-
cording to Mr.. Scott.
