BOOSTERS AND MEN.

BOOSTERS AND MEN
q love to watch the rooster crow.
He's like so many men / know,
Who brag and buster, snort and
shout,
And beat their manly breasts, with
The first damn thing to crow about.
From Farm and Fireside.

There is food for thought in the adj
dress OF Secretary Weeks, Of the
North Idaho Chamber Of Commerce,
to the Moscow Chamber of Commerce
Wednesday. Mr.. Weeks spoke many
truths that it will be well to remem-
Der. His plea that we declare our
town to be the best town anywhere,
should be taken home and acted upon.
A knocker against his home town
never helped the town nor any indf-
yidual. He pleaded for closer re-
lations between the towns and coun-
ties of north Idaho, and there should
be more harmony, more unity OF
action and more work for the entire
panhandle of Idaho instead of work
ing entirely for one locality. Our in
terests are common What helps
Occur d'Alene. Wallace, Standpoint,
Lewiston, Brangeville or any other
point in north Idaho, helps Moscow,
and we should be willing to cooperate
with the North Idaho Chamber of
Commerce to this end.

The Farmers Union has taken 1.-THE
bull by the horns" in the railroad rate
war and will go directly to President
Harding with demand for lower
freight rates. The farmer pays more
freight than any five classes in the
United States. He pays freight on
everything he sells, whether or no 1t
is shipped away from the nearest
market. and he pays the freight on
everything he buys, whether or no 1t
is shipped to his home market The
freight to some far off market is de-
Quoted from the price paid to the !
farmer even if the product is used
within few miles of the place where
produced, and the freight from far
off market is added to everything he
buys. The farmer has right to de-
of the administration that rob-
berry by the railroads cease.
The railroads of the United States
are making united efforts to secure
reduction of wages paid to "unskilled
abor'' which is paid few dollars
lew day, but no effort is being made TO :
.educe the salaries of presidents, vice.
presidents, managers, assistant man
gers. presidents of boards of direct
,rs and other higher officials" many
# whom draw more pay from the
in year than so unsk1lled
ailroads really wanted to reduce ex-
lenses reduction would begin with
he highest paid instead of the lowest
aid class of employees.

All doubt as to where the United
tates stands on important foreign
uestions is being rapidly removed by
ecretary of State Hughes. The notes
