tion-we might say antagonism-of
the United States. '.''
The conditions in Europe, economi-
cal, industrial and otherwise, growing
out of the devastating world war, are
about as bad as they could well be i'm
agined. The most optimistic see lit
tie encouragement for improvement in
the immediate future, and as long as
conditions are in chaotic state there,
there is little hope or prospect for
better times in our own country, for
as surely as it is true that mo man
lives unto himself" it is likewise true
that in the present age of close com
nlunication and advanced facilities for
interchange and trade, no nation can
live unto itself. There are few I'M
prejudiced thinkers and observers who
do not believe that if the United
States had entered the League condi-
tions over there would have been
much better today than they are, and
also that the efforts of the United
States to recover from the effects Of
the war would have been more effec-
tive.
The League is functioning as best it
can in it's endeavor to carry out the
high ideals that inspired its birth. In
it the nations of Europe see their only
hope of peace and tranquility, and
there is no suggestion among them of
abandoning it. There may be those
in our country who imagine it dead
issue, but not so over there; and we
believe the time will come when our
people will see that it is the most for
ward and practical step that has ever
been taken for world peace and good
will among all nations. Like all for
ward movements experience in it's APP
plication may suggest changes and
amendments of the pact, but eventu-
ally some understanding of like char
acter must be entered into by the ma
tons of the world before the "peace on
earth, good will to men" gospel of
the Christ shall obtain.

THE STRIKES

The announcement that the soft
coal strike in seven States has
been adjusted by the conference of
operators and miners at Cleveland
this week, affecting about 100000
miners, is encouraging to the public.
1t is predicted that the other and
more numerous soft coal mines will
follow the plan agreed upon there.
Both the operators and miners have
suffered by the strike as well as
longsuffering public, but what has
been gained by the miners in their
twenty weeks strike? Absolutely
nothing. The men go back to work
on exactly the same terms they re-
jected last March with a proposed
conference to be held October 2 ito
appoint a committee to formulate a
method of negotiation of new wage
agreements to become effective April
l, 1928, when the present contract ex-
pires."
So the coal strikers would seem to
have accomplished nothing except to
create a doubt as to the effectiveness of
the long-vaunted theory that force
was the only stick that union labor
had to enforce it's demands. Some
other method, based upon reason and
justice, must be devised before CAPT
tai and labor can harmonic their dis
putes and differences. They are in
terdependent and there ought to be
some way to bring them together on
just and reciprocal grounds. They owe
this to the public, which after all is
the greater sufferer from their con-
stantly recurring disagreements.
The strike of the various brother
hoods of employees of the railroads,
which threatens to hold up the trans
portation of the country, and has al
ready affected travel and shipping to
an uncomfortable degree, gives prom
Use of no better results than the coal
strike has achieved. What it is all
about it is hard for the average citi-
zen to comprehend, with its various
claims and counter claims; but it
seems the strikers are now willing to
return to the posts they deserted if
the railroad companies will grant to
them the Seniority status" they held
before the strike. This the railroad
executives refuse to do, as it would be
an injustice to the men who have
stood faithfully by the roads and the
new men employed to take the place
of strikers. 1t is delicate question
of justice to these men and the carry
ing out of the contract made with
them by railroad authorities, and it
also involves the question of laying off
the new men and supplying their plac-
es with strikers. President Harding
has failed in his efforts to bring about
an adjustment of differences, and the
outlook for an early settlement is not
encouraging.
If the coal strike is settled and all
the operating mines of the country
should open up-those affected by the
Cleveland conference produce only
about one-eighth of the soft coal sup
ply--and the railroad strike goes on,
the distribution of coal will IN be SO
hampered and held up that the public
cannot be. supplied with coal however
muchais mined. And there you are.

DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY

Tuesdays election was a real pri
mary election. The voters took keen
interest in the balloting and were Civ.
en- every opportunity to fully express
their preferences for candidates fol-
county office, particularly on the Dem
cratic ticket. Contrast between Tues
days primary and the primary held
two years ago in Idaho county, when
little interest was shown i'm the nomi-
Mating election, is marked.
Significant in Tuesday s voting was
the large number of Democratic votes
recorded. The results indicate that
Idaho county, which in the last presi-
dential election was strongly Repub-
lican, is shifting back into the Demo
cratic column. Almost two Democratic

generally speaking. Dissatisfact ion
with present conditions, both business
and political, are probably response
BILE for this change in the attitude of
the voters.
Cottonwood which two Years ago
cast maximum of 3l9 votes for
Harding for president, and 100 for
Cox, the Democratic nominee, record
ed approximately $50 Democratic votes
IN Tuesdays primary, and mere
handful of Republican votes. This
would Indicate that Cottonwood will.
in the general election, be decidedly
Democratic, as of yore.
In Grangeville, in November, 1920,
the Democratic presidential vote was
S43, while the Republican was $50.
Maximum Democratic vote cast at the
primary in Grangeville, Tuesday, was
355, for sheriff, while the Republicans,
for county commissioner, second dis
trict, recorded their heaviest vote of
1s9 in the city. These returns are
significant, for they tend to indicate
the relative strength of the respective
parties, as there were contests on both
tickets that greatly interested the vo-
ters. Tt is possible, however, that
some Republicans balloted in the
Democratic primaries so that they
might vote for certain favorites, but
this was not general The shifting
can be attributed only to a change of
sentiment of the voters from two
wears ago, when the Republican party
was placed in power by an overwhelm-
inc majority.
Democrats in Idaho county have
been anticipating victory at the gene
raj election in November, and the num-
her of Democratic votes cast at the
primary gives them further encourage
ment.

TO borrow money on long term loans
IS when money rates are low Hence
cities and towns SHOULD not only bor-
row during the next few years for
their current needs, but should borrow
large sums and invest the same for
use for years to come, especially dur
ing the next period of unemployment.
If cities operated in business way
they would borrow their money at
times Like the present, stow it away.
and then spend it when the next
period of Unemployment comes. By
spending it at such times, they not
only could get the work done very
much cheaper, but they could perform
81 distinct service to the people of the
community. The general custom fol-
lowed is The reverse. Cities now do
their construction wOrl; when it is
easy to get money, which is when lab
or is fully employed and when every
one else is building. This is all wrong.
When the period of unemployment
comes, il is very difficult to borrow
money for construction work because
money is then tight and the citizens
feel poor. Hence, under the present
system 1t is impossible to do much
to relieve unemployment when it
comes. If an ice man attempted to
follow the same system in his bust
ness as the city officials follow, he
would wait until summer to cut his

"For investors this means that
tax exempt securities, and town ponds
should now be purchased even though
they have already gone up some in
price. Those who contemplate buy
ing should buy at once before they go
up still higher. When buying tax ex-
empt issues seek the long term ones
as these will show the greatest profit.
All of this should be specially encour-
aging 70 the contractors and builders,
as it means that great deal of public
work will be done during the next
few years. City water plants will be
extended, more sewers will be con
structed, new public buildings will be
erected, and the good road movement
will continue 10 grow. This should be
welcome information to those who
handle contractors supplies and build

as arc used by cities and

ELECTION RETURNS

The Free Press was pleased to be
of service to the public Tuesday night
in the gathering of election returns
Before IL o clock, in spite of the iso-
iation of many precincts and the diff
ficulty encountered in gathering re-
turns, the Free Press was able to deter

with few exceptions.
In connection with gathering of the
