We Thank You!

The first Of our Jubilee Events will
come to an end with the closing of the
store Wednesday evening. We wish
to express our appreciation, not only to
the people of Rock Island but to the
entire community and surrounding
cities as we'll. You have been extreme
~ liberal in your patronage and we
have endeavored to be equally as gen
erous with you in the values we have
been able to offer. It is our policy to
mark our merchandise at the lowest
possible price consistent with good
quality and in the midst of the seasons
buying when all stocks were at their
very best to give deduction of 20 per
cent from our reasonable prices was an
act which we hope has made US even
more than ever "A Store of the People"
Two more days remain for you to take
advantage of this Jubilee opportunity,
and when the curtain drops on this sale
we can truthfully say it was one of the
most successful we ever held, for which
we again say, Thank YOU

Legislation Is ThreShed
Out in Conference
Ex-Congressman Lindbergh Boasts
He Attended Only One Con-
ference in 10 Years

All legislation taken up by con-
gress is first threshed out in a con-
@erence of the party members. These
conferences are much like the old
fashined town meetings and every
one who has an idea or opinion has
his say. Mr.. Lindbergh, who is run
ming for Congress as an Independent,
stated in his opening speech at St..
Cloud, that he attended one confer
ence soon after becoming member
of Congress but found that it was
controlled by the big interests and
therefore walked out, never going
to another meeting in the ten years
he was member of that body. Why
did not Mr.. Lindbergh go into these
conferences and help the Progress
sives who were there fighting the
peoples battles? 1t was his duty to
do so for that is where all the big
fights for principles are made. In
staying away he was guilty of be-
traying the peoples interests. He
was sent to Congress to represent us
to the best of his ability. According
to his own confession he deserted
his post of duty and stayed away
from the meetings that he should
have attended. What would you
think of soldier who ran away from
the front line where the fighting was
going on because he did not like the
way things were being done? The
soldier would have been shot but Mr.
Lindbergh has the nerve to ask the
voters to return him to Congress so
that we will again be without repre-
sentation in that body. No, Mr..
Lindbergh, you will not be returned
to Congress. This is an important
district andswe need someone to rep
resent US who will go into the firing
line and fight for our interests and
the things we are entitled to. This
Congressman Harold Knutson has
done and the people are satisfied
with him.

A LATE FALL

That this fall has been unusually
late compared with the weather con-
ditions last year, will be made evil
dent probably by those who will re-
call that winter began in Sank Cen
tire and vicinity on October 10th
last year. On that date, according
to those familiar with the local stu
alton, this vicinity experienced its
first real snow storm together with
the first touch of bitter cold which
make last winter famous in the an
mails of Minnesota.

for another of the frequent political
overthrows in the United States. Pos
sibly, some time in the near future,
the general lack of sympathy with the
work of both the Democratic and Re-
publican parties will crystalie in a
definite machine. But before that
time comes, one of the two major
parties of today will be submerged,
leaving nucleus in each old party
to combine for single purpose and
leaving for the formation of an op-
posing political organization those who
have bolted both parties. In that in
stance, the alignment would be vir-
tually one of standpatism opposed to
a new, progressive machine. But
that time is still distant. This fall
will see only Republicans and emo
Gratis as parties of significance in the
United States. Third parties have
never proved popular and they never
will.

The principal educational force
working in the modern community
might be grouped under three heads
1.-The public schools; 1.-The COZ
leges, technical schools and acade-
mics; 3.-The newspaper press.
The newspaper is self-made insti-
tuition. 1t is an individualistic enter
prise, with no help from state or phil
anthropy.
The newspaper press has reached
the point where many people feel it
is a greater power than either public
schools or colleges. The newspaper
press exerts its influence from the
day a child learns to read until the
day he dies.
There is no greater problem than
the evolution of this mighty force up

TWO PARTY GOVERNMENT

Government in the United States i
designed for and can only be sue
cessfully operated on two part,
basis. While the committee of 4;
and Single Takers are evidently max
ing some Roadway at Chicago, ths
other semi-p political organizations
which were expected to throw their
strength with the new party evidently
have too many independent ideas Of
what the new party should stand upon
to effect harmonious amalgamatiou
of all factions upon a common plat
form.
Never in the history of the United
States has there been so much in
dependent political thinking, never so
many minor political groups each with
a hobby and frequently expressing
ideas in direct contradiction of those
held by~some other organization which
are waiting at Chicago for the newest
political creature to take definite
stand before aligning forces with the
revolving political organization.
AS The Tribune has repeatedly
pointed out, the idea for third party
possibly never came at a more pro-
pitious moment but the forces which
would assemble under the new banner
ack dominant personality to lead it.

Perhaps the time will shortly come
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1920-07-13

The time has come for courageous
thinking and plain words. There
must be more work done and less
loafing, more time spent in overalls
and less in blue serge, more spike
mails and less golf sticks, more time
spent at the work bench and less in
the pool halls-or not only will the
cost of living continue high but an
industrial crash will follow.
For we can prosper neither as a
nation or people without producing
surplus and selling that surplus
abroad, nor can we sell our surplus
abroad in competition with other
peoples, who are neither manacled
by short work day nor afflicted
with laziness, unless like them we
render an honest days work for
full days pay. This is a fixed law,
as Interchangeable as the law of gravi-
tation, and no amount Of sophistry
can change it.
In attempting to neutralize the cost
of living by wage increases we are
simply operating a teeter-board, or
moving in a circle; or trying to lift
by the boot straps We
must speed up production and avoid
waste. That is the only way the
cost of living can be made normal,
and if the short work day stands in
he way, as seems quite clearly to. be
he case, it must be removed We
cannot compound high wages with |
ow production and escape disaster.

PRODUCTION AND SHORT
HORNS.

Thus far the west has little concep
ton OF the gravity of the industrial
situation in the east Idaho, in par
ticular, being strictly agriculture
state, is not dependent upon paw
rolls and production for prosperity
Men who have visited in eastern cen
tiers of production recently and who
were in position to Investigate a,
least casually the conditions that pre-.
vail there, have returned to the CON-
parative quietitude of Idaho appalled,
at the critical situation confronting
eastern manufacturers.
Production is, of course, far be-
hind. In some lines, it is estimate d
that almost 20 years will be required
before consumption and supply will
be approximately equivalent. That.
IN itself, is bad enough. But the
worst feature and the feature which
bodies i'll for the future is that in
spite OF every possible precaution,
every possible incentive including un-
paralleled wage scales, production
per man and production per hour is
steadily decreasing.
Startling as it may seem, reliable
statistics are available which indi-
cate that almost every shortening in
the labor day has been accompanied
by corresponding decrease in man
hour production. There is only one
possible explanation. Individual in
itiative, sense of responsibility and
appreciation for the shortened day
are wholly lacking. Men, receiving
such pay that they find it unneces-
sary to be continually employed, men
who today are certain that, il, the
event they lose job, they can find
another equally good tomorrow are.

One pertinent example of this con-

the National Wholesale Dry Goods

the hosiery mills. These figures are
