Purest Nonsense.

Coming almost Immediately upon
the heels of the adverse ruling of the
interstate commerce commission deny
ing to southern Idahoa return to
mountain time. THE mass meeting in
Boise lastt Friday is significant be-
cause it shows how an overwhelming
public demand can sometimes be de-
feated. There was no logical reason
why southern Idaho should not have
been granted return to mountain
time. At the hearing in Boise some
time ago, evidence was overwhelming
ly favorable to the change. Certainly
Mountain time more closely approx
mates Goods" time in southern idaho
than does the abortive time arrange
ment under which we now live.
In denying the popular demand for
a time change, the interstate commerce
commission said a great deal about
meridians and geographical time zones.
But there was not single reason cited
in answer to the arguments based on
knowledge of southern Idaho condi-
tons that were presented by the petit
TONERS. Judging from the experience
of not only southern Idaho. but Chi
cago and New York, where the clocks
are an hour ahead of railroad time,
something must be wrong with the
theory of time zoning. The heights
of foolishness, it would seem to be,
to refuse a popular request to compel
a section to comply with system tina.
is everywhere, SEEMINGLY, in disfavor.
It is not unlikely that the nation
would benefit by some sweeping
changes in tits time schedule.

ton that they are Numerically OPP
posed to existing laws and proposed
laws that furnish arbitration for in
dustrial disputes. On the other hand,
the voices of individual American
laboring men and women have time
and again been raised for peaceful
methods in industrial disputes, as op-
posed to strikes and lockouts. The
federation has also declared ITS op-
position to laws restricting the rights
of workers to quit work. This is
simply another way of defending
strikes.
The secretary of labor, when he
served on the presidents industrial
commission early in the year, joined
in a report with other labor leaders,
capitalists and private citizens, includ-
ing Herbert Hoover, demanding the
establishment of federal industrial
board, with agencies throughout the
country empowered to solve labor
troubles in a way that amounts to ar
bitration. The secretary of labor is

There are many. including Repub-

prior to election. that he would, if he
became the president of the United
States. do something to make of the
vice president of this nation an added

Victory for Truth.

In securing a verdict and damages
in the amount of 500 and costs in its
libel suit against the Idaho Free Press,
The Nampa Leader-Herald feels that
its fight in the courts has been justi-
fled. The case was brought to prove
that the Idaho Free Press printed an
utterly untruthful and malicious re-
port of a meeting held in the city hall
some months ago. 1t will be remem-
bered that meeting was called by in
dignant citizens to protest articles of
an alleged disloyal and radical nature
published by the Free Press.
In reporting the affair, the Free
Press charged that the meeting was
instigated by the publishers of The
Nampa Leader-Herald and that those
publishers participated in the meet
ing. One of them was quoted as hav-
ing addressed the meeting and having
advocated bomb throwing and viol-
ense against the Free Press. 1t was
proved in court that all such state
ments were bare faced lies.
Competent witnesses were intro
duced to show that the publishers of
The Nampa Leader Herald had abso-
lutely no part in the meeting. One
of the publishers was present but took
no part whatever, being there as a
newspaper reporter only.
Several prominent Nampans testi-
fled that Harold Jenness was present
but said or did nothing aside from
taking notes on the meeting. They
testified further that neither of the
publishers had any part in calling
the meeting or the appointment of
committee to circulate petition after
the meeting, as was stated by the Free
Press.
The verdict is a splendid victory
and vindication of truthful, decent
journalism in Idaho. 1t proves that
the dishonest, malicious type of news
paper may be brought into the courts
and made to answer for its wrong
doings.

Ways Out.

There are three available methods
Of getting back to, mountain time, that
is setting the clocks up one hour. One.
thar Of asking rehezring before the
interstate commerce concession, has
little promise. 1t means long delay
and probably no revision of the former
ruling which denied THE application.
Two other methods are certain of
results and are almost Immediately
available. We may either. by city
action, trn the clocks ahead, or wait
until the legislature convenes, in the
meanwhile having instructed southern
Idaho members of the legislature to
pass legislation designed to meet the
popular demand.
The latter. method would be most
effective. 1t will take a little longer,
but il would result in general observ-
ance of mountain time. There would
be no such thing as town time and
railroad time, with an hours difference
because the railroads would be on the
same time schedule as every other
business.
There are objections to 4 prompt
time change, effective only in the
Boise valley. Nampa is opposed to
the change. Two times are always
conducive to confusion and criticism.
The Tribune Is most emphatically
favorable to THE proposal to go back
to mountain time. But in lieu Of the
objections to municipal action and the
fact that the legislature is almost GER
tain to act. it would seem advisable
to wait the short time now necessary
for the more satisfactory means of
reaching that end.

COMMON RIGHTS.

Everyone knows that the great
wage-earning classes of America want
just wages, and a chance to play their
part in the game of life in manner
that will give them all the necessities
and their just proportion of comforts
and Injuries. This is the same de-
mand that is made by every class of
human beings, no matter what their
station may be in life.
But there. are so-called Leaders"

ROOSEVELT BEATEN
 BY OSBORN BOYS IN
 SENSATIONAL GAME

In one of the most exciting games ever played between grammar school teams of the valley, the Osborn school nine emerged victorious in d seven inning battle with the Roosevelt nina yesterday afternoon. It was the first league game of the season for both teams and they played remarkable ball for so early in the year. The game was played on the Roosevelt school field
 The Osborn players started with a rush and before they had finished their turn at bat in the opening half of the first innning, had sent two runners around the circuit. Roosevelt came back strong in it's half of the opening session and not only equaled the per formance of the visitors, but went them one better.
 Osborn knotted the score in its half of the second and then went out in the third frame to put the game safely away on ice by scoring trio of mark CTS. This three run lead failed to daunt the Roosevelt boys, however, and they scored one in the fourth and another in the fifth. Then Osborn slid into high" again and scored two more in it's half of the sixth, giving it a total of eight runs.
 Roosevelt players made a desperate last minute effort to tie the score in it's half of the seventh and last innings and showed two runs across the home station before the rally was finally cut short.

'GENTLEMEN'S PLAN
 WILL BE CONTINUED
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1


 CHICAGO. Feb. 13-The major and minor leagues decided at their joint meeting here today to continue to worh under the same "gentlemen's' agree ment which prevailed last year, with the exception that an arbitration board will be appointed to handle all dis putes. This board will consist of two members who shall include the chair man of the national commission, which position has not yet been filled. and one representative from the minor leagues. At any time this board is unable to reach a decision, a third referee. a man not connected with any baseball organization, will be chosen to cast the deciding vote.
 The action taken at today's meeting however, is not final. The presidents of the two major leagues told the committee from the minors that they would take up with the club owners the question of entering into an agree ment with them. The sentiment of the American league, it was said, was not to enter into written agreement un- til after the Baltimore Federal league suit has been disposed of.
