The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-11-22

People who are engaging guests to spend
thanksgiving with them will be interested in
knowing how the Nootkas entertained their
guests. As we have said before the NOotkas
were one of the leading tribes on the Pacific
coast and they had all their neighbOrs trained
to do a very nice social stunt. When these
neighbors came visiting they brought their pro-
visions with them and the Nootkas entertained
them with a big feast, the visitors furnishing
the food.
The railroad companies of today haul great
deal of oil of various kinds in tank cars, but the
NOotkas beat them to it by q hundred years.
When visitors came to them they brought
tanker boats with them loaded with fish or fish
spawn or both. Sometimes they would bring
as many fifteen or twenty tanker boats and
when they landed at the Nootka headquarters
there would be great rejoicing. The NOotkas
would receive them with open arms, giving them
the glad hand according to the NOotkas custom
but before the visitors landed they would hold
their boats off the shore and send a sort of
ambassador ashore carrying little strip of
white CLOTH He would be escorted into the
presence of the big chief where a little pow-wow
would ensue and then the ambassador would
turn to the shoreline and signal his people to

The Thanksgiving.


BY Eugene c. Dolson.
Work of the harvest ended.
Now, as the year grows old,
Granaries overlooking,
Full as the bins can hold.
Peace and plenty surround US
Each has bounteous share;
Thanks to the fertile farmlands,
Opulence everywhere.
Thanks to the sturdy toiler.
Answering dutys call:
Thanks to the gracious Giver.
Infinite Lord of all.
Brothers, once more united,
Brothers from far away,
Each of US yet remembers
Thfs-our thanksgiving Day!

THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT.

The Eighteenth Amendment to the
United States Constitution is now in full
force and effect and it becomes the duty
Of every citizen to obey the law, no mat
ter what his opinions concerning that
law NAV be. There are those, rebellins
against the intent of the law, who have
their cellars stocked with liquors suffi-
cient to last them months and even years,
but even to them the inevitable day is
coming when the last drop will have been
drunk and when they will be in no better
condition to face the fact Of prohibition
than the less fortunate are today. VI
course, illicit stills will make their poi
sonous substitutes and bootleggers will
peddle it surreptitiously as long as men
thirst for the drink that is forbidden, but
the day is gone when gentleman could

on the brass rail and an elbow on the bar
For those who believe that prohibition
is an evil there is but one remedy, and
that is not in defiance or circumvention
of the law. It is in the further amend
ment Of the constitution, the adoption of
the Nineteenth Amendment, which will
nullify the Eighteenth. And between now
and the day of the Nineteenth Amend

AN INJUSTICE TO STATEN ISLAND.

The action of the Midland Railway
Company, which operates five trolley lines
on Staten Island, in abandoning all ser
vice and surrendering its franchises 1"
the city is little short of a tragedy for
the people of Richmond Borough. Here
is the first fruits of the policy of the pres
ent city officials TO ignore, for the pres
ent at least, all appeals Of traction conf
panies for financial relief. Something
might have been done 10 avert this break
down, which deprives thousands Of the
residents of Staten Island Of transpor-
tation facilities if the Board OF Estimate
had merely agreed to debate the matter
and give the railroad officials an oppcr-
tunity to prove their need of additional
revenue. Says Bertram Eadie, counsel
for the company -
The situation has been fully IRE
sented TO the Board Of Estimate. No
body knows the situation better than
the members of that Board.
Yet, barring an injunction which ap
parently no real effort was made TO serve,
the Board of Estimate never as much
as raised finger TO prevent the shutting
down of nearly sixty miles of trolley lines
in a borough of the city with popula-
ton of moro than 100000 persons.
OF all communities in the municipal
corporation none is less deserving of this
blow than Staten Island. For fifteen
years it has endured taxation for sub
ways and other public improvements in
which it has had no part. II has borne
its share of the city's burdens unflinch-
ingly, yet it is the first to suffer from
the obstinacy Of city officials in refusing
to recognize an emergency which is per-
fectly clear to everybody else.

A TRUCE BY A HAIR.

Great Britain escaped another railroad
strike and tie-up by narrow margin.
Those who urged another strike lacked
only two votes in the unions convention,
where the discussion was bitter in the
extreme and conducted amid incessant
turmoil. In fact, the resolution finally
adopted specifically states that accept
ance of the employers terms was made
under protest because the scheme is un-
satisfactory
The offer accepted maintains the slid
ing scale and the wage is fixed on the
average, not the maximum, pay. 1t makes
additional concessions in the form OF
bonuses for women and some men, with
an increase to workers under eighteen
years Of age. The agreement-or truce
marks the first step in a government plan
to accord the workers on the railway sys-
in the practical management of the rail-
roads. 1t is an experiment to head off
the rising tide of railroad nationaliza-
tion''-that is, government ownership and
operation of the railroads.
The closeness of the vote against gen.
eral strike shows that the controversy is
not ended. The goal of the railwaymen's
union is naturalization, not higher wages.
If the British Labor Party once secures
control of Parliament among the first
bills introduced will be one TO nationalize
