Imported Goods.

PERHAPS the most serious reflec-
ton on American intelligence is the
fact that from the formation of our
nation to the present day we have
spent nine-tenths of our time in con-
vincing our own people that imported
goods are better than those of our own
manufacture.
In Great Britain and in other coun-
tries the words Home Made stand as
the guarantee of excellence. With us
the mystic word imported is used by
every merchandiser in the land to
command the higher price, and no op-
portunity ever is lost to convince the
customer that if real worth be desired
then the imported article must be
bought
Neither loyalty, tariff, common
sense or anything else has served to
stem this tide of boosting for the
foreigner at the expense of the
American.
Naturally the tendency has been to
cause the American manufacturer to
live up or rather down to his reputa-
ton and produce in many cases goods
not quite up to the standard of those
that come to us from foreign lands.
The American manufactures the best
quality goods in the world, no matter
what the line, if he sets himself the
task, but in chinaware he knows, we
think, of Limoges or Dresden; in pot
terry we think of Lincolnshire; in cut
erly we dream only of Sheffield, our
linens remind us only Of Nottingham
and Belfast.
Always we are told the imported
article ranks first If we had been
hired, each one of US, to strangle Am
erican production, we could not have
made better job of it. We have be-
come obsessed with the thought of
foreign superiority.
If the American people will respond
to the battle cry of Home Made" and
the American manufacturers will an
swer the call, it will give us more
constructive loyalty than ten thou
sand Fourth of July orations, and do
more to solving our economic prob
lens than anything one can conceive.

Poor Business.

THE report of Mr.. Barber, state
commissioner of immigration, brings
to light one of the incongruities that
help to swell that cost of state gov
ernment and leave one amazed at the
futility of politics in business.
Here is constitutionally created of
fee. an office, we surmize, that in
early Idaho history was considered
vitality important as. the agency thru
which population and wealth might be
attracted to the state to. build up
potential empire on Americas last
frontier. The idea was right. And
today it is not less important that
this work be continued than it was
80 years ago.
Farmers have, in the past year, CIV
en- up their farms in the rich and fav-
ored Boise Valley because they failed
here. And yet we know that the
problem is not ridding the state of
surplus citizens on producing farms,
but dividing and subdividing Idaho's
farms, altering the method of agri-
culture, doubling and trebling the
population.
This state department is the agency
created for that purpose. And yet
in the past biennium Mr.. Barber was
given $l3,805 to spend. That means
$68O2.50 per annum. Analysed fur
ther, Mr.. Barber draws a salary of
$4,000 per year. That leaves $500. so
each year that remains to be spent.
In other words, Idaho is hiring man
at $4,000 per year to spend for the
The Caldwell tribune., 1922-12-26

state a sum considerably less than
his salary.
More than that, the $3202.5O must
also provide for help and clerk hire.
What under the sun can Idaho expect
such an official to accomplish!
Quite obviously there are two solu-
tions. One is to substantially increase
the appropriation for department
that cannot be abolished without al
tering the state constitution. Give the
office something to work with and dis
covered, once and for all, If results are
commensurate with the cost. Neic
driyel cannot get anywhere.
The alternative, if this really i'm
portant work IS to continue, might be
found in a consolidation of duties OF
other state bureaus or departments
with this one, enlarge the field of act
ivities for the department and make
an appropriation in accordance with
the Job. The consolidation that i'm.
mediately suggests itself is that of the
state department of reclamation with
that of immigration. Surely the two
are closely related.
But whatever is done, let's get away
from the expe.is' se practice of main
tanning a state department and ther

Booze and the Mint.

THE most significant effect of the
nationwide contempt for the prohibi-
ton laws is most certainly the dis
respect entertained for federal law
enforcement. In years past, Grimm
ais of the most hardened type studi-
ously avoided crimes that might lead
to the clutches of federal law. Post
office ,robberies were few and far
between.
Perhaps there is no relationship
between open and flagrant violation
of prohibition enforcement and the
robbery of a United States mint.
But certainly it represents the low
cred respect for federal law that has
so signally characterized public moral
fibre the past few years.
If the mint is fair target for GRIM
inals, what remains safe?
AS someone caustically remarked,
Uncle Sam had probably best nail the
federal capital and the treasury
building down, or thieves will steal
the buildings. Gibralter and the
United States mint. Impregnable,
both of them. But the mint has fall
len.
Where, in Heavens name, are we
going?

Youth speaks from every line Of
this graceful evening wrap designed
for the young debutante. 1t is made
of rose .colored velvet shirred on a
yoke at the top and into a lord at the
bottom. The shirring at the bottom
makes # conform to the long. slender
lines now In demand. A deep collar
of gray squirrel adds both warmth
and beauty. This is one of the newest
capes offered by. Jenny, the famous de-
signer.
The cape, according to most, FASH
ion experts, is the perfect wrap for
youth. The older woman may year
the sumptuous dolmans and draped
brocaded wraps or great fur cloaks,
but the velvet cape with its simplicity
of line is youths own wrap. An idea
for the home dressmaker Is shown in
this model. Is the old party cape too
short for the new long gowns? Just
take u piece and use on the bot
tom in the manner of this one with
Its corded bolster" effect. The full
cape may be made narrow and the
short one made long and the finished
product, instead Of being patched

If WE'RE BOSS,

IF I WE'RE BOSS
If I were a boss I would like to say:
You did a good job here yesterday"
Whose heart would leap with a thrill
of Joy
At q word of praise, and I'd pass it out
Where the crowd could hear as l
walked about.
If I were the boss I would like to find
The fellow whose work is the proper
kind;
And whenever to me a good thing
came
I'd ask to be told the t%oiler's name,
And I'd go to him and I'd pat his back
And I'd say: THAT was perfectly
splendid, Jack!"
Now a bit Of praise isn't much to give,
But it's dear to the hearts of all who
live; .1
And there's never a man on this good
old earth
But is glad % be told that he's been
Of worth.
And a kindly word when the work is
fair
Is welcomed and wanted everywhere.
If I were a boss 7 am sure I should
Say a kindly word whenever l could;
For the man who has given his best
by day
Wants a little more than his weekly
pay.
He likes to know, with the setting
sur,
That his boss is pleased with the work
he's done. "O
