Americas Shame for May.

Americas Shame for May.
Texas has led in the May lynchings,
in the number of victims and the fero-
city with which they were dispatched.
Several were roasted alive, and the
bodies of others burned after death
had brought release by other means.
No masks were worn. The perform
ances seemed entirely safe SO far as
all observers were concerned. The
lynchers acted as if entirely certain
OF the approval of their neighbors and
the local guardians of the law.
No arrests have been made. The
governor of the state, importuned to
do something, has responded with an
expression of regret at the outbreaks.
The manifestations of the lynching
spirit have not been confined to Texas.
In several other states human beings
have been done to death by mobs act

in the days when Indians were truly
wild. But the Indians have discarded

Happy News

Caldwell has every reason to be
joyous today. For, after many
years of waiting, the Black Can
yon looms, not as possibility or a
probability, but as a certainty.
No more important bit of news has
come from Washington in many years
than the announcement Tuesday that
Albert Fall, secretary of the interior,
had formally authorized the expendi-
ture of 100000 for the construction OF
the Black Canyon dam.
And yet the picture must not be over
drawn. Building the dam does not
mean reclamation for second unit
Black Canyon lands. At least not in
the immediate future. But it does
mean relief for Emmett farmers and
the certainty that the additional half
million dollars necessary to complete
the entire project will not be long
withheld.
1t is the start that counts. Pro-

initial investment of 100000 means
that the project will 60. that in the
very near future now arid Black Can
yon lands will be productive in the
same way that Boise project lands are
productive. And the world offers no
finer class for farming.
Too much credit cannot be given
Idaho's congressional delegation for
their work in driving home upon the
department of the interior the neces-
sity for building the Black Canyon
dam. 1t is said that Burton L. French
has not missed day for months that
he did not wait on some executive in
the department of the interior seek
ing information as to progress made
and repeating the arguments for this
project. Addison T. Smith has been
scarcely less active and Borah has not
infrequently lent his prestige to this
cause.
All in all, nothing in the world
could happen to bring more real joy
to southwestern Idaho than this an
nouncement.
The Caldwell tribune., 1922-06-30

part of the public depends the pros
perity of the great farming population
that feeds the nation and the cost of
living for the public that must depend
on the tiller of the soil. There are
thousands of newspaper readers in the
cities who never know the owner
ship of the publications they look to
for information. The editors are un-
known to them. The city newspaper
publishes and his readers have not
that close contact that exists between
the publisher of a weekly newspaper
and his readers. Of course, the ma
tural assumption is that the newspa-
per is the friend of the public, the ma
tional policeman watching the interest
of the people, and so people are turn
ed into an army of Little Red Riding
Hoods and led to destruction by the
railroad wolf without ever suspicion
of their danger.
It would be beneficial service if
legislation were enacted prohibiting
the ownership of newspapers by public
service corporations, and it is quite
within range of possibility that this
much to be desired restriction can be
brought about if the country press
unites in insisting upon it, Reputable
newspaper publishers have a right to
protect the honor of their profession.
The integrity of the whole press suf-

The Persuasive Mr.. Hoover

AAS xStsuaSlVS MAI. hoover
Directing Senators have decided
not to interfere with Secretary Hoov-
er's efforts to hold the coal prof
teers in check. Mr.. Hoover has made
it plain that he has no power of law
to control the prices of coal. Never
theless he has called the men who
sell coal into conferences and he has
persuaded them to abide by basis of
price fixing that will be fair to them
and to the public. just how he has
succeeded in getting the coal people
to agree to his proposal has not been
disclosed. Possibly there was ready
assent. That would not be unlikely
since the coal men know that when
Mr.. Hoover was Food Administrator
that the different groups who were
called to their place on the carpet
found it to their advantage to agree
to reasonable suggestions for the pro-
lection of the public. Hoover deals
gently, but so often this gentleness has
been supplemented by firmness that
was unmistakable, that it is not likelv
that the coal men will attempt to break
the arrangement that has been made
with them. 1t can hardly be said that
Mr.. Hoover has ever resorted to dras
tic proceedings in dealing with any
industry which he has sought to reg
ulate. But several times during the
war he was known to have issued ul
timatums in such way as to con-
vince the recalcitrants that they would
