This part of a tribute paid by Senator Robert M.
La Follette of Wisconsin in Lu Kollette's magazine to
Louis I). IJrandeis, whom President Wilson has nominated
to the supreme bench. The senatorial representatives of
crass plutocracy are resorting to every expedient to pre
vent confirmation ot the appointment and the, tory press
is vigorous! v seconding the eilort
The reasons for tin's bitter opposition is summarized by
Lu Follette as due to lirandeis' courageous fight in the
never-ending struggle for democracy. It was Brandeis'
genius that exposed the conspiracy to pillage the coal lands
o A as ka in the Uullinger case and deleated it. Jt was
lirandeis who, in conducting the rate cases for the inter
state commerce commission, startled the business world
bv declaring the railroads could save a million dollars a
dav by efficient, scientific management, which has since
been proven. It was lirandeis who secured legal recogni
tion ol limitation ot hours ot labor tor women woruers as
vitallv essential to the preservation of the race. Jt was
lirandeis who led the long fight against the New Haven's
financial ehicanerv which time has vindicated.
It was lirandeis who made the fight in Massachusetts
for better control ot public utilities. It was lirandeis who
originated state industrial insurance and secured its adop
tion m the 15av State. It was lirandeis who has arm
trated numerous iiidusjrial dispujes. It was lirandeis who
has given freely of his time and service, unselfishly and
patriotically, to appear as the people s representative be
fore legislatures, congress and courts. And finally, it is
lirandeis who has assumed responsibility of a movement
to relieve the Jews of all countries from the yoke of op
pression and injustice and open a refuge for them.
iMr. La Follette concludes as follews: 'The selection of
lirandeis to this place of power and influence must
strengthen the confidence of all who love democracy in
President Wilson."
SIMPLIFYING THE ISSUE
IT is currently reported that Colonel Roosevelt read and
nnnroved the "kevnnte" sneech delivered bv Senator
Flihu Root at the New York republican convention.
Whether he did or not, the speech indicates that only on
the question of preparedness and foreign relations can the
republican factions unite. '
With the flood of prosperity at high tide throughout
the east, the calamity cry has had to be shelved. The adop
t ton of the tariff commission plan by tho administration
has pigeon-holed the tariff issue. The stand-pat and pro
gressive programs tire wide apart on other issues.
The keynote speech means that the campaign is to be
made upon the failure of the president to invade Mexico
and to participate in the Fiiropean war against (lermany
because of the violation of lielgian neutrality and the
sinking of the Lusitania, and because of the unprepared-
ness ol the nation to participate in war.
This will much simplify matters. Those who believe
that in keeping the nation neutral and at peace with tho
world the president has been right will have an oppor
tunity to voice their approval. Those who believe the
nation should have gone to war will be given a chance to
declare for war.
As far as the nation's preparedness goes, it is just what
sixteen years of uninterrupted control of the government
by the republican party has made it. If the army and navy
are jokes, they are republican jokes. The nation Jias spent
enough money on them to realize something.
There is only one logical candidate to stand upon the

Thla Is tho way It reads:
"ArrnngoinentK have been mado

Japanese labor slionld notUy the

Jnpantzlng tho Itoguo rlor valley.
making It an common an any oriental
district anywhere lu our alstar state
to the south; a valley equipped and
peopled only with tl(d.lord of lamia
aud hla swarm of oriental peona, auli
HiHtliig on rice ahlpped from their
own countr) ; lieona hired to throw
decent white labor Into n condition
worse than alnvory. Truly, this spee
taole la delightful for local people
depending on labor for their auate
nance. Kven now the local wngo Is
o scant that it Is hard to got with
It the scanty supply ot staples for the
moat ordinary table, most of which
la raised here.
Thla mia-reprosentatlve sugar beet
company has thus suggested a system
of cheap labor for thU vnlloy In or
der to make u better showing In
profits. Ily It the het grower must
hire rlee-eaters If he wlskee to keep
ou good terms with Ihe sugar com
pau. White labor In thla valley
must be Japanlsed, so fur as wagt
for Hork Is concerned, or go without
a c lumen to earn a living. The val
ley has Iota of nbito labor In It.
Large families live herowhoee mem
bers are anxious for work. They
aro Industrious and practical. Thla
is labor of the hlgheat type, ot the
moat efficient type, of tho right type.
Why should labor have to work so
ehoaply If there Is so much wealth
la augur beet ralslug?
I have had charge this wluter of
over 100 white laborers-la orchard
work. Thoy j-ecelvetl Just ami fair
treatment and earned every cent of
their wuge. They Hera white men,
not yellow. They Here progressives,
not shambling slaves. They live
hero aud desire to continue to live
hero. They didn't earn tholr wages
to ship an ay to some foreign laud.
Thoy lived like white men; not on
rice and soups. They consumed
local products; not stuff shlppod in
from somo foreign laud.
Tho cry In that wo havo not enough
mon and lioya (aud girls, too) ; not
enough of thorn will work through
tho full konson. That la all bosh. So
licit them to work Show them how.
If tho same amount of caio Is
oxerclsed in doing that as Is shown
to tho Japs thoy will do bettor work
and keeji tho monoy at homo. While
wo nro talking about patronizing
home Industry let us begin with home
labor--labor that la housed lu local
homos, that buys local groceries and
other goods.
Thousands of people In this valley
will be with me when I aay that I
am opiioeed to shipping lu foreign
labor of any color, but particularly
tho J a its. whose hordes have
swarmed into California until the
white laborer has no chance there.
If this Is new work, toach our own
people how to do it. Ood kunws they
need the work and the scant money
It will bring.
Thla Jap labor auggeatlon from the
sugar corporation Is an evil proposi
tion. Mark my word.
Uutnloy only American labor In
this valley. Keop it white. Keep it
Amerleau. Surrounding valleys have
hundreds of white poopla wh6 would
be glad to get the work, if wo haven't
enough people of our own to do it.
If they have moro Japa than they
want in Utah, let them send them
somewhere else. Rogue rlvt-1 val
le does not want them.
