The citizens of Boise have organized
a new Chamber Of Commerce and en-
listed in its push lot of the most
enterprising men in the city. The
organization proposes to devote its
energies to the upbuilding OF the entire
state as well as pushing Boise to the
front. Major Reed, manager of the big
placer mining enterprise on the Boise
river, has been made president of the
organization, and judging from the first
emenation from his pen-a vigorous
scoring given the Portland Oregonian,
for its remarks about the state admin
istration, anent the troubles in North

The strikers at Wardner have had
their day in court before the American
people,and they have not used tito their
advantage. Had their strike been with
out the accompanying killing and the
destruction of property they would have
had the sympathy of the people. AS it
was, the justness OF their cause was lost
sight ofin the just condemnation of their
acts. The day will come, perhaps, when
the laborer will have learned that that
man is not his best friend who advises
him to murder workingmen and burn
and destroy property. The miners had
no more right or excuse to burn the
property of the mine owners than the
mine owners would have had to burn the
homes of the miners. When the striker
learns this very apparent truth he will
have more chance for success. The
striker and the incendiary are two diff
ferent characters in the eyes of the
American people.-Silver State.

Drank Cyanide.

Fred Allen, a young man who recently
arrived here from the old country, went
to work in the DeLamar mill Tuesday
evening, and about 8 o'clock helped
himself to drink out of test bucket
of cyanide solution. Shortly afterward
he began splitting, and one of his COM
panions asked, "What is the matter,
have you been drinking cyanide?" He
replied, 81 don't know, I've been drink
ing something" "You'r poisoned" said
his companion, "and had better run for
the doctor" Allen, thinking the man
was joking him, kept on at work until
his friend started for the doctor. He
then followed, but before he reached
the bunk house, fell down, as faint
from fright as from poison. Dr. Piumer
was quickly called and administered an
emitic and an antidote, and the young
man was all right the next morning and
able to eat hearty breakfast. He has
since read the notices posted in the
mill cautioniug persons not to drink
the stuff The solution, being filtered
out of the vats, is as clear as pure
water and when put into bucket, with
dipper conveniently near, is very
tempting to tenderfoot.

What Might Be.

The Western Federation of Miners is
an organization which has within its
reach a magnificent opportunity. 1t is
a great organization, comprising in its
membership a majority of the best
miners, sober, industrious, temperate
men throughout all the mining regions
of the West. Many of these miners
have as good business qualifications as
the majority of the mine owners and
managers and many of these are better
judges of the real merit and value of a
mining proposition than the greater
number of the so-called metalurgists
and mining experts. AS an organiza-
tion they are equipped to be among the
first to discover the value of the mines
in any new district. By combining
their surplus earnings in one general
fund they could be able at any time to
purchase and develop very extensive
mining proposition. As we have said,
they can be almost the first to know
where such proposition exists which
can be procured at less than its real
value. Suppose such a proposition
were quietly reported to their head
quarters, its merits could be investi-
gated at trifling expense by sending
their best men to it for employment,
we will say, and one of their best finan-
ciers as a purchaser. They could do
everything within their Organization
the expert work, the negotiations for
the purchase, the development and
management of the property. They
could conduct all the business within
themselves, even to furnishing their
own legal talent, if necessity required.
They have the opportunity to form the
greatest and most nearly an ideal in
dustrial community ever existing.
They could soon learn to laugh at any
other combination of capital and to so
nearly control the mining industry in
all its branches, from prospecting to
selling the finished products and doing
their own banking business, that no
other combination could compete. They

SOMEONE TO BLAME.
''In the financial poverty, comparatively
speaking, Of our country in the last days
Of the surviving veterans of the revolu-
ton, all were granted pensions. Why
should not every needy and deserving vet
eran of the great war that saved the
government Of our conscript fathers
from overthrow in its unsurpassed period
Of national wealth be promptly granted
a pension?
II have no doubt our present pension
laws are not being executed in the lib
eral and just spirit in which they were
passed and this belief cuts my heart
like personal pain. The time is coming
when justice must prevail in the eXecu-
ton of these laws. The laws provide
for pensioning all needy and worthy ap-
plicants who come within their provis-
ions, and any policy which fails to carry
this out Is an injustice and a wrong.
Any officials who by their acts thwart
the generous spirit of justice show q

ness-considered in the light of suffering

HAVANA, Nov. 11.-Gov. Gen. Brooke
has issued a Thanksgiving proclamation.
in which he says that the custom pre-
walls in the United States to set apart
one day in the year for Thanksgiving to
the Supreme Being for the many bless-
tngs Vouchsafed, and the designa ton OF
the Cay and the invocation to the people
to observe it, have been made by the su-
pre.ne authority Of the government, thus
giving material Importance to the patri-
otto observance of the day The governor
general, mindful Of the sacredncss and
propriety of thus acknowledging and re-
turning thanks for the blessigs bestowed,
and of invoking Divine aid protection
and direction for the future, and believ-
ing that no country or people have more
reason to be thankful or greater oppor-
.tunities to look forward to than the in
habftants of Cuba, deems it proper to
call them to realization Of the sitnation
and with this view he names Nov. 30 as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer. It is
recommended that the cares and labor
of life be laid aside and that all per-
sons convene at the several places Of wor-
ship to giva the Supreme Arbiter of des-
TIMES the thanks and praise justly due

EX-PREsIDENTs SCARCE.
Four Were Living at Three Different
Times in This Country.

Two ex-presidents Of the United States
are living, Cleveland and Harrison.
Before the expiration of John Adams
term, 1901, there was no eX-president liv-
ing, Washington having died December,
1899.
During Jefferson's administration Adj
ans was the ex-president. Both died on
the same day, July 4, 1926. Both were ex-
presidents during the administration of
Madison and Monroe and a part OF the
administration of J. Q. Adams
When Monroe was president the three
ex-presidents were Adams, Jefferson and
Madison.
J. @. Adams became president in 1928.
At that time Adams, Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe were living. But before the
expiration of ]. @. Adams term 1899, only
Madison and Monroe we're living.
During Jacksons first administration,
Madison, Monroe and ]. Q. Adams were
the living ex-presidents. Before the ex-
piration Of Jackson's second admintstra-
ton only ]. Q. Adams remained as former
president.
Adams and Jackson were the living eX-
presidents.
During William Henry Harrison's term
of one month, ]. Q. Adams, Jackson
and Van Buren, were the living ex-presi-
dents.
John Tyler, as vice president, succeeded
Harrison and was In office from 1S41 to
1916. The ex-presidents living during his
term were J. Q. Adams. Jackson and Van
Buren,.
While Polk was president, the living
ex-presidents were J. @. Adams, Jack
son. Van Buren, and Tyler. But before
the expiration of Folks term Van Buren,
and Tyler only remained
Taylor's term lasted less than five
months. In that time Van Buren,, Tyler
and Polk were living, although Polk died
twenty-five days before Taylor, thereby
leaving Van Buren, and Tyler living ex-
presidents.

Shaw. coulmander-in-chlef of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, was rendered a re-
ception in the Seventy first regiment
armory by the 1O2 posts of the Grand
Army Of Greater New York and vicinity.
Fully 5000 members of the various posts
attended. Col. Shaw said in part:
Again and again have declared my
belief that every good and worthy veteran
of the great war, who is entitled to a
pension under present laws, should be
granted one without vexing delays, caused
by unnecessary and illiberaI techntcalities
or something worse. Henceforth, veterans
should demand equal and exact justice
under present enactments along the lines
of pensions. War produced two classes
in a sense-the creditor class, who loaned
money and goods to the nation, and the
brave defenders who loaned their bodies
and lives to save the Union. One has
been amply and grandly paid in the full
measure Of gold values of the world, the
Other has been hardly half paid, measur-
ed In the same standard When peace
blessed the land with plenty on every
hand. the volunteer citizen soldiers and
sailors voted to save the credit Of the ma
tloI in a battle of the ballots of unpre-
cedented bitterness and Importance, with
out showing any question of retribution
or well merited recompense TO themselves
from the contest. There can be no doubt
that pension frauds pension agent
sharks and the like have brought down
upon the veterans criticisms as undeserv-
ed as they have been cruel, and even
brutal animosities. This served the pur-
pose Of the masked batteries of war
those which shot from the rear, the cop
perheads Of that time. 1t has been cold
blooded calculation Of men who have
placed political expediency in the patriotic
scales of justice for mere partisan and
selfish ends
Under President Cleveland this cry
against pension frauds to which l have
referred reached it's climax After the ex-
penditure Of nearly 81, 600 600 appT opliated
