ADDISON 7. SMITH
SAYS'W0RK ON BIG
DAM STARTS SOON
Idaho Congressman Sure
Coolidge Will Carry
Fall Election

Congressman Addison T. Smith
arrived in Idaho from Washington
D. c., this week and stopped over
in Blackfooti for a short time Thurs
day on his way to Henry where he
will speak Friday. Speaking OF
the progress being made on the
American Falls reservoir project
Congressman Smith said:
1.-THE American Falls project looks
particularly good Just now. think
beyond doubt everything in Wash
ington has been passed upon fav-
orably and nothing remains to him
der the success of the big project
which means so much to Idaho. Few
people realize how much work has
been necessary to put over the big
project. Other sections of the coun-
try cannot see the wisdom of irri-
cation and we met with opposition
on committees and some special in
terests. Several times the measure
hung on a thread, and once or twice
it appeared certain of defeat, but
managed to pull through. / under
stood when l left Washington the
sale of the bonds was approved in
every way and the marketing of them
assured. Although certain of sale
1t takes time to market so large
bond issue. 1t will take thirty or
sixty days perhaps. Then there are
arrangements financially to be made
by those interested directly here. In
the meantime work on minor details
Is going steadily ahead. 1 look for
actual construction work on the
mammoth reservoir to begin with
in thirty or at the most sixty days
and to be pushed vigorously to its
finish and imprison the waters of
Snake river to irrigate the Snake
river lands and this 1 am sure will |
in time be appreciated by the nation
as well as by Idahoans in the in
creased wealth of the state and ma
ton. Yes, 1 am certain American
Falls dam is soon to be reality. l
will have some facts and figures to
give the public in few days.
Politically the nation looks fav-
orably to returning President Cool
idge and a Republican congress. In
the east and particularly in the New
England section, President Coolidge
is strong and in the middle west and
west he is being understood and
winning favor. l look for an active
campaign with the people Weighing
we'll the questions before election
and using their usual good common
sense is passing upon the great prob
lens, both nationally and interna-
tionally, now confronting the nation.

BLACKFOOT PLANS
SPECIAL FEATURES
FOR BIG ROUNDUP
Promoters Offer Novel
Stunts for Crowds at
September Show

That the Blackfoot Roundup to
be staged at the fairgrounds for
three days, September 3, and 5,
any of the shows staged in this Sec
ton of the country this year, is the
assurance of the organization of
business men having the arrange
ments in charge. The show this
year will be put on under the man
agement of Ralph Dixey, w. D.
Pierce and E. j. Fjelsted, all ex-
! perienced in the presentation of this
kind of entertainment and who are
working night and day to make the
show success.
The county commissioners felt
that conditions did not justify an
appropriation for fair this fall nor
did they feel they could contribute
to the financial support Of the
Roundup with county funds but re-
alizing that the people of the county
might desire some sort of recreation

the theory that If the show proved
successful from a financial stand
point the county would receive some
revenue from the property.
In connection with the program.
the managers are emphasizing that
the Blackfoot Roundup will not, like
some similar shows, be a mere ex-
hibition of Roundup features staged
for effect but every event on the pro-
gram will be in every sense a real
contest and every prize must be
awarded on merit. This will bring
to the Blackfoot show contestants
from all sections of the country and
make every event free-for-all strug-
gle for supremacy among the top
Negotiations are being conducted
IN the country for exhibitions of
stunt flying to include underwriting
IN the sky at night.
People who have attended former
Roundups at Blackfoot will welcome

nents have been completed with Hol-
comb, the greatest Roundup clown
n the country, to furnish the crowd

Roundup. The committee Is cover

A fine program of racing and ro-

LA W

The foundation of civilization is
law. There must be recognized law
both in the state and in the nation.
Our nation could not continue to
function and civilization would be
driven from our country were it not
for the fact that we have laws pro-
tecting the innocent from the brutal
dictation of those who do not believe
in or abide by our laws; men who
have no conscience, who are born
with brains that lean toward wrong
doing and evil
1t is just the same with an organ
ization of labor-it must have laws
to govern it, and those laws must be
observed after they are made, other
wise there would be no stability in the
organization. The individual mem
Der with in local that deies the vote
and action of his local deserves and
should be disciplined and punished
The local union that defes the laws
made by the convention of the Inter
national Union, under which it is
chartered, has no place within the
great labor movement of our country
If a man breaks his contract with the
union he is worse than the employer
who breaks the contract solemnly en-
tered into with his employes.-Metal
Polishers' Journal.

cial has ever dared to openly defenc
it.
Its un-Americanism is so revolu.
tionary that it's champions and bene-
factors tell untruths and would de.
ceive in their defense of it.
1t ignores every constitutions
guarantee that would check it's auto.
cratic sweep.
1t sanctifes the outraging of hui
man rights.
1t places mans liberty at the whim
of judge who is responsible only to
his prejudices and his moods. Law
is supplanted by the courts personal
views.
1t outlaws acts in strike times that
are considered lawful at other times.
1t debases the judiciary 1t makes
our courts legal strikebreakers.
The Wall Street Journal favors
these methods. 1t speaks for those
who approve that system of govern
ment. The labor injunction fits into
it's autocratic beliefs.
On June 10 that publication editori-
ally declared that business proposes
that the president shall govern the
United States, and it is taking steps
to make its will effective"
This notification that congress will
be set aside, this announcement of
"the man on horseback" accords with
the labor injunction. A blending of
autocratic ideals is here shown,
though the blunt horseback" state
ment is rather unusual.
But it would be asking too much
for the Wall Street Journal or other
believers in horseback" government
to tell the truth about the labor in
junction. AS well might the wolves
be asked to guard the sheep as to
ask autocrats to guard human lib
erty.

Labor Injunction Rests
on Untruth and Deceit

Note the easy, patronizing way the
"Gompers creed" is referred to For
years millions of wage workers have
condemned this writ, yet finance is
informed that opposition to the labor
injunction is the "creed" of one trade
unionist; that it is a "bar to the
accomplishment of private or fac
tional ends"
The Wall Street Journal is not ig-
norant of the labor injunction, its
history, its purpose and it's ultimate
overthrow of government by law.
A charge of ignorance could be
registered against citizens alliance

commerce publication, but not against
''the oldest news agency in Wall
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1924-08-29

The Wall Street Journal would
have it's clienetle believe the labor
injunction is authorized by statute,
and that relief from a too rigorous
application of this "law" may be had
on appeal to higher courts.
at has for years been a part of
the Gompers creed that the courts
violate not only the principles of abb
stract justice, but the settled law
itself in the use of that process.
"There is a wide difference between
real abuse of a legal process and
mere dissatisfaction with the courts
as an incidental bar to the accomplish
ment of private or factional ends

errors of judgment"

THE TRADE UNIONIST

An old man going lone highway
Came at the evening cold and gray
To chasm vast and deep and wide
The old man crossed in the twilight
dim,
The sullen stream had no fears for
him;
But he turned when safe on the other
side,
And built bridge to span the tide.
"Old man. said a fellow pilgrim near,
"You are wasting your time with
building here,
You never again will pass this way,
Your journey will end with the clos
ing day;
You have crossed the chasm deep and
wide,
Why build you this bridge at evening
tide ?"
The builder lifted his old gray head,
"Good friend, in the way that I've
come" he said,
"There followeth after me today,
A youth whose feet must pass this
way.
This stream that has been as naught
to me,
To the fair-haired youth might pit
fall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight
dim.
Good friend, | am building the bridge
for him."
American Federationist.
