O00D WORK NEEDED. The p.i t I ear has In.vv n that tliel . i ti great N : . 1 uf work to he done ahoiit On tario it tin et ion of the Snake river ami Malleiir vaih is not to start slipping buck. How it can hi accomplished with the least I'en-e commensurate with the urea' ;Nid is the queatiou. In iiu I'ousideratinu of the irrigation hhjn.s of tln section the construction of .i dailt on the Malheur, is the lirst considera tion. Every veer water which would trans ate barren sage brush into sources of wealth tlows on b serving uo man 'oil its way to the sea. It is a shame that this is so. With the erection of th" lie. cssai dam steps m list lie taken to supplj all of the irrigation syi ith distiiliutim; canals wliich will not break when needed and that will be tllflceilt n. see that rver, ai the moisture it I ds. To the solution of these problems Is needed the best brains and eueriv of this SMKetioiL It requires united and wholeliai-r-'d i-o operative effort, fan fhjit he found in this section .' THE I. W. W. MENACE. There is without a doiiht some solution for the problem presented by the I. V. W. What that solution is has not been evident from the efforts of the various state offij in these western States. In DO Nro of the states has the same policy toward them been persiied. and us yet sufficient time has not elapsed to determine whether the arbitary methods of Uisbee ate superior to the con ciliators action of Idaho. i i cas enough to say "get them otttj of the country, if they don't like to live here." Such a policy is impracticable at this time when all of the shipping is Heeded for the transportation of supplies, Mi ither would it solve the prohlem for it would mere Iv he panging its solution on t another land. The I. W. W. does Hot believe ill law. nave when he wishes to invoke its protection. To the I. w . it is all right to drive i nail into a tree so that when it is being convert ed into lumber it will break the machinery, and as likely as not kill the sawyer. But if a vigilante hangs an I. W. w. agitator a m ii II a I'll cfV tor nisTlee tfocs ro niun ueaven l t hese disciples of terror. The majority of the membere Of the I. W. W. in the west are foreigners, most of them have not even considered becoming cif iselis of this country. They are ignorant f conditions. They do not know our gov ernment nor its aim, thev do not adhere to the constitution, in many cases because they do not know what constitution means. , In their ignorance they ere willing fol lowers of destructive demagogs, who make living bj trading upon the prejudices of their followers. They can do this because organised society has taken no care to ftafe- Hiiard Itself against this insidious foe, Many 'l these torcmnrrs came to tins cotinirv alter tliev had passed the school age, and it is but a few years since the government has at tempted to extend to them the educational facilities of our school system that they iiimht thus become familiar with American! ideals. - ia t tggy To all intents and purposes they are essentially foreigners still, no matter how oily tliev have lived here. This In especially true of those emigrants whose native tongue was not Knejish. Their attitude, to a degree is .in indictment of the American people. We have been too busy to consider the 'stranger within otirgatee," we have let him struggle to Hud himself and if in his efforts he has fallen under the influence of the-mal contents, we arc partlv to blaiuc. We can not simplv throw out the fort tier. We need the man power of thousands of those who are now making trouble. More than liftv per cent of tin labor in the coal nines of America is furnished b SlAvs.whik the per oeutagc df foreigners in the iuduatn is of course higher still. What is true of the milling industry is also true of other in diistries in which physical labor is the basic power. I ears ;il;o the hiiejish. Irish and Scotch immigrant furnished the basic labor of in dustry in this country. Then it was tin Swedes, the hanes and the Norwegians, the (lerinan elcuieut in portions of the euiintiv furnished the supply, then came the Poles, the Italians and lastly the Slavs, have in hese later ears furnished the great portion. If American ludustrj is to thrive on tin basis of .sm-n labor its leaders must seek the solution of its problem Either we must change the basic labor of our Industry b Inducing American men. or those inspired by the same ideals to engage in its harder pha.ses, or we must educate the Slav and in spire him with an ludc'pentdence which will remove in from the baneful influence of the Uialvolent disturber of the peace, the .iita tor.
