JOBS FOR EVERYBODY.

The unemployment problem is with
US no more. A year ago it was esti-
mated there were 5,500,000 men look
ing for jobs. They have not all found
work, but those who are willing to
work and have not found the oppor-
tunity are not in excess of our normal
idle population. This result has been
achieved in spite of the scores Of
strikes engineered by designing labor
bosses. The coal mines, the railroads,
the textile mills, the shoe factories, and
many other industries have been hard
hit by the conspiracies of professional
and INSCRIPTIONS agitators, but they
have not only weathered the storm.
but have actually given employment
in the aggregate to upward of 100000
more individuals than were working
at this time last year.-Hunting, CIV.

A GRATIFYING ANNOUNCE.
MENT

The American people will be graft
fed by the official announcement from
the White House that the United
States has no intention of participat-
ing in any of the political develop
ments in the Near East and that under
no Circumstances will America forces
aid in the defense of the Dardanelles.
The fact that President Harding has
found it necessary to reiterate the in
dependence of the United States from
European entanglements shows that
influential forces are still at work to
involve America in Old World affairs
Every neW disturbance abroad is the
signal for fresh outbursts on their
part, necessitating renewed declara-

BL EACHERS To
HELP At PARK
Provisions Made to Ac.
comodate Crowd at
Armistice Game.

New stands to seat $500 are being
added at Cody Park to make possible
the staging of the Armistice Day foot
ball game between the universities of
Idaho and Utah.
In 1920 and 1921 the big gridiron
classic of southern Idaho was played
at the state fair grounds, where the
race track kept spectators 200 feet or
more from the field of play At Cody
Park bleachers will closely parallel
the grdiron. This is the old league
ball grounds on Warm Springs Ave
nue., right on the street car line.
The change was made through the
efforts of the Municipal Athletic Field
Ass ISOLATION, incorporated by group
of sport lovers who secured lease
of the park and are holding it for the
benefit of all amateur athletics in
Boise. A campaign is now being
closed to raise a fund of $4,000 for the
new stands.
Claude w. Gibson, manager of the
Arnistice Day game, has announced
that all grandstand and bleachcr seats
will be sold at the flat rate of $l50 A
few boxes will be placed along the
sidelines, and box seats will be sold at
81 each.
The reason for the flat price is the
necessity for a large advance sale.
as heavy expense is undertaken for
the game and no insurance is provid-
ed against loss even though the adj
m ssion price is held as low as pos
sible.
Even with the new stands the seat
ing capacity at the park will be lin
tied, so fans who desire to see The
game from, the best vantage point
should order their tickets in advance.
Mail orders addressed to Mr.. Gibson
at the Empire building, Boise, will be
filled in order of receipt, ali the bes;
seats going first without partially.

Capacity Crowd Greet.
Republican Candidate
At American Theatre
Wednesday.

With theatre crowded to capac;..
at the American Wednesday even'n,
with more than a sprinkling of farm,
ers out to hear him and with an and
ience that was unusually attentive ana
responsive, c. c. Moore, Republica,
candidate for governor, scored N Il,
first public appearance in Caldwell
Bran ling as false many Statement.
that his Democratic opponent h.,
made in this campaign and pointing
out wherein NJ Alexanders addresSa.
covered only half the grounl, Mr.
Moore found his audience respo7sv.
to his constructive ideas.
Of the war debt that Idaho CON,
tracted, Mr.. Moore pointed out, Which
Mr.. Alexander had said operated IL
increase the cost of his second adm,,-
istration, not one cent was paid fror,
appropriations made by his egisla.
ture in 1917. Deficiencies were incu,.
red in organizing councils Of defense
and there were aid, he pointed out
not by. the Democratic administrator.
but by the succeeding Republican leg
islature's appropriations. 1t was i'm.
possible for the Alexander admnistra.
ton to pay those bills, Mr.. Moore
said, simply because the Democratic
Legislature, which made all appropria.
tons for the biennium Of 1918, ad.
journed in February before war was
declared.
Perhaps Mr.. Moore's greatest hit
with the crowd during the evening
was his assertion that Legislature
meeting next spring could confer its
greatest service on Idaho by adjourn
ing after passing appropriation bills,
few needed administrative measures,
repeating half the laws Idaho has and
which serve no useful purpose and
then adjourning.
OF Mr.. Alexander's promise to save
the people of Idaho $l,0O0,000 without
cutting into roads or schools or other
state institutions, Mr. Moore pointed
out that the governor and every other
state official, officer and stenographer
might be fired, the state house closed
and all administrative costs abolished
and the cost of government would be
reduced by only $4,000.
"Where car he expect to save
81 100000 out of that amount,?' de-
manded Mr.. Moore and the audience
laughed and roundly applauded him.
Republicans have cut the state tax
levy every year since 1919, the speak
er pointed out. And the levy in 1919,
he explained, was due to the appeal
from President Wilson for prosecution
of public works to give World War
veterans job and to cover the starva-
ton policy of handling state institu-
ton that characterized the Alexander
administrations.

low, this condition is due to other
causes, over production, and lack Of
balance between farming and other
industries, the speaker pointed out. ra-
tber than to the tariff. AT least the
law has prevented deluging America
with Argentine cheap meats, Aus:ral.
ian cheap wool, Chinese, Danish but,
ter and Canadian wheat.
This administration, the speaker
said, has been accused of being q
"do-nothing" administration. Such an
accusation is not true, Mr.. French be-
lieves. Even if the congress. recent
y. adjourned had accomplished moth
ing else, the Limitation of arms con-
ference and its resulting economies is
enough to brand such a statement as
false
just how this conference relates &c
the average citizen was graphically
pointed out by Mr.. French when he
said that but for the conference, this
years naval appropriation would have
been $400,000,000 whereas it was cut
to $2o6,O00,000. When the building
program which was scrapped as a re-
suit of the conference had been COM
pleted. the annual naval bill of the
United States would have been $780,
100000.
The congress has been repeated ac-
cused in the east of being a farmer
and western congress, the speaker
pointed out This is not strictly true
he declared, but it was true that farm
ers' interests had been cared for and
that the west found its problems given
just consideration.
Speaking briefly of reclamation, Mr.
French told of his visit last week
to the Black Canyon dam site, of the
construction progress already made
there. This project, he pointed out
is the first new one to be undertaken
by the reclamation department in the
past 10 years.
