The Mines.

Practically no change marked
the zinc ore market of the past
week. The base range was $50
to $50, with a high settling price
of Sol. The major portion of
the sales went at SIS to S57 and
there was a fair tonnage at these
prices. There were a few 'pur-
chases by one company out of
the market for the last few
months but, all told, the pur.
chases have not been up to the
standard of the last three months
period.
Calamine ores were steady at
$27 to $32 with only moderate
sales.
The feature of the week was
the announcement of the Stand
ard OIL Co., and some of its sub
salaries that no more fuel oil
would be sold after December 1
and the probable following suit
of the independent concerns
which will mean a heavy blow
to the district, which has been
using fuel oil at some mines as a
fuel and for reserves
when coal and gas are not avail
able This places the district in
the position of seeing both matt
ural gas and oil taken away

ELECTION OF JUDGE STEWART

Te election Of Judge Stewart Ia one
Of the most important victories for
good citizenship and sound govern
ment yet recorded in this state, not
because the candidate was Judge
Stewart, nor because he was Re-
publican, but because the spirit be-
hind the opposition to him, II tri-
umphant, would have been tantamoun
to political degradation of our courts.
The vicious opposition to Judge
Stewart, as distinguished from the
legitimate opposition, was based ON
a decision against the Bull Moose
party. 1t would have been all right
II it had been In its favor, but be-
cause the court, under the law de-
cided against 1t, the only member OF
the court that could be reached must
be torn down.
What spectacle for good citizen.
ship II the plan had succeeded!
The people Of Idaho have repudiat.
ed the idea that our courts may be
made the shuttlecocks of politics. 1t
Is more significant fact than the |
success or failure of any party or
any candidate Boise Statesman.

LET'S HAVE IT

The dispatches would indicate tha
President-elect Wilson Is seriousl,
considering the advisability OF call
ing an extra session Of Congress tc
revise the tariff. Some OF the state
papers are voicing their protests
against this course, saying: Let US
have year more OF prosperity,
Don t act yet" etc.
We fail to see how he can help
calling an extra session, without
laying himself open to the charge OF
making the usual Democratic pro-
misses for election only. II we under
stand the Democratic platform II
says: Amy tariff for more than rev.
enue only is unconstitutional Sur
ely as he has both the United States
Senate and the lower House, and
his platform being true, Tor he be-
lieving 1t to be true) he cannot re-
main inactive and allow unconstitu-
tional duties to be collected for a
year or SO.
The Democratic National Commit
tee paid Wild-Eyed Davis Of Mis-
souri, to campaign the state and tell
the people that the Democratic
party had at the last session of Con-
gress passed tariff bills that would
have relieved the people of the high
cost Of living. and President Taft We
toed them, and denounced him for
SO doing. That they were just laws
passed for the good OF the common
people, and that Taft was a tool of
the interests, or he would not have
vetoed them"
The vote of Idaho shows that the
people did not believe him, but that
is neither here nor there. If they
We're needed laws, as he said, and
ought to have been signed by Pres
ident Taft, they should Immediately
be re-enacted and signed by Dem
ocratic President at the very first
opportunity, or the Democratic party
will lay itself open to the charge of
playing politics" and passing bills
for campaign purposes only, know
ing they would have to be vetoed by
President Taft.
We are not In accord with Demo
cratic principles, nor do We believe
them to be for the best interests OF
the country.
The Democrats, however, have beelI
successful in making a majority Of
the people of the United States be-
lieve they wanted their principles ard
now they are entitled to have them.
On the other hand the Republicans
have rights in the promises. They
have q right to demand that they
put into practice the various promise |
which they have been using for the
past year to catch votes, that they
may be tried out and tested before
the next election. Ii they are found
beneficial, we will be all found sup
