BOYCOTTING BUSINESS MEN

II @OMMENTING on the efforts OF
the Yakima Valley American tt
l raise more money in his com.
munity Editor Murfin, of the Sunny
side Times says:
The Yakima American will not
prolong its life many months if il
has reached the stage where it is nee.
essary to resort to the boycott to keep
its head above water. There may be
some other reason why the American
makes use of that weapon but to an
outsider it would appear that the pa
per is in hard way.
If advertising is only effective
when it is based on an appeal to the
passion and prejudice of class, it is
worth mighty little. When the Am
erican publicly urges it's supporters
to use the boycott to force advertisers
to use its columns, it is decrying the
value Of the only thing it has to sell.
The American admits it's failure as
an advertising medium and its readers
all agree that as a purveyor of uncol-
ored news, it is a joke. There isn't
much left.
The Times would advise the Amer
lean stockholders not to throw good
money after bad when solicitors come
around for further stock subscriptions.

I~HEN the campaign for building
~ the interstate bridge across
the Columbia between Vancouv-
er and Portland was undertaken the
world war was in progress. Although
the United States was not at that time
!, one of the belligerent nations war talk
was on every tongue and it was diff
cult to hold the attention Of the people
on any domestic affair or local pro-
ject. The bridge campaign bid fair
to be swallowed up in an avalanche
of war talk when Elmer E. Beard,
the then editor of the Vancouver Col
umbian coined the slogan: ITO He'll
with the War; Let's build the Bridge"
In the classic words of Mr.. Beard: ITO |
Hell with Hard Times; Let's Build the /
Bridge"

Leadville, Colo, Nov. s.-Experi- nnents are under way here to deter mine the value of a new secret pro- cess for the treatment of low-grade su1phide ores.

The successful application of the new process. it was claimed, would result in greatly enhanced wealth to sul- phide ore districts because of the potential possibilities it offers for the utilization of much low-grade are that is now 'scrapped" as worthless.
 Montgomery declares that the pro- cess has been successful in the treat n1ent of the low-grade ores in the Sinaloa district.

 All the suffrage leaders in France are watching closely the manner in States acquit themselves in the presi- dential balloting, Madame verone said.

''The Chamber of Depu- suffrage and I know of reason why the Senate failed to ratify tha: action.

in this matter. OF course the Amer
lean government could have saved
money or practiced further economy
by paying these soldiers less money
and by skimping its commissary. But
no American doughboy who cam
paigned with the "poilus" and saw
what they ate and wore, is going to
be incensed at the American govern
ment's success in giving him more
clothes and better chow than any
other government furnished to it's
soldiers. As matter of fact, the
cost to America per soldier was some
what more than six times the cost
to France per soldier. The fact is
that the French soldier got Sc a day
while the American soldier drew
from $l.OO up-twenty times what

the Republican party mean by this
criticism that the American soldier
should have been paid, fed and cloth
ed upon the same basis that the
French soldier was?

DEMOCRATIC COLUMN.
BY C. S. MUM
Mrs. John X. Ball

Mrs, John X. Ball, Of Carmi. III =,
addressed n large crowd here last
Friday, and from her viewpoint, gave
a very able presentation of the Re-
publican position in this campaign.
She is lady Of attractive personali-
ty and displayed much less partisan
bias than the usual Republican speak
err. She was generous enough to ad-
nit that President Wilson was a
good man" and that throughout the
war and peace negotiations he had
done the "best he could"
She said his difficulty was that
when he went to Paris he was match
ed against such men as Lloyd George
Of England, and Clemenceau Of
France, two Of the worlds ablest d.
plomats. She said that the skill Of
these two gentlemen were too much
for the President. and they put one
over on him" when they secured his
assent TO the League Covenant in the
Peace Treaty.
These statements no doubt sur
prised great many Of her Repub.
lican hearers, to whom il has been
said so often that they have actually
come to believe it, that the Peace
Treaty was altogether Wilson's han
diwork, and was Wilson Treaty"
and for that reason ought to be OPP
posed. In fact IL has almost become
a part Of the Republican decalogue
that the party is not opposed to u
society" or association" or even
"a League of Nations" without spe.
cilicationSl but that they ARE opposed
To "the Wilson League" The idea
advanced by Mrs. Ball that the pres.
cnt League is n result Of the manipu-
lations " Lloyd George and Clemen.
