that it will work more smoothly, or
at least try to do this. The main
objections to it are clearly stated by
Ex-Governor Mcconnell in recent in :

the part of the people of southern

the other hand very probable that the
need of the tariff will be greater in
the future than ever. Zinc is a widely
distributed metal and the encourage
ment Of high prices is likely to bring
the worlds output up to point of
intense international competition
which will result in backset
1t seems to us that the zinc interests
should urge these considerations; that
present market showings are decep-
tive and that the schedules should be
fixed with an eye upon what may
prove to be average conditions. The
business OF zinc mining is now ex-
tremely prosperous and it therefore
bids fair to invite a large investment
which will sucer badly under sud-
den reversal of the market.

A SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Recent press reports show that the
province Of Alberta, Canada, increas-
"a in population 10000 in 1911 and
~ 900 in 1912. The remarkable gain
Is admitted to be due to advertising
The Alberta country is rich In re-
sources and possibilities, but to at
t:act settlers and purchasers Of land,
publicity was necessary. It is always
necessary to let the world know o. a
supply in order to create the demand,
and that Is just what the enterpriiins
people OF the province did They ical-
lied that advertising was the connect
ing link between the man with Ia" to
sell and the man who wanted to Duy
land They advertised, and as Il r.
suit, they sold the land. In the end
the purchaser paid for the advertising
this is always the case; but he was
WlIIInk W w 81 UtCiuSS IC dttiiOutSN
his good fortune in being able to get
the land and the profits to be had to
the advertising by which he learned
of the opportunity.
Every section Of the country needs
advertising and would profit by 1t just
as much as the Alberta section needed
and has profited by 1t. The develop
ment OF undeveloped resources adds
to the wealth of community or sec
ton and to the wealth of all it's citi-
zens. In any new country. outside
capital must be depended upon for de-
velopment and capital is directed to
those sections that advertise The
Occur d'Alene district is no exception
to the rule. It is widely known, 1t is
true, but not so widely known as 1t
should be, or as it's undeveloped re-
sources and opportunities warrant
There never has been concerted well
directed effort to advertise it, to ac-
quaint the outside world with the OPP
portunities that are open to invest
ors. Every dollar spent in that di-
rection would bring big returns. as an
investment. There has never been a
time when publicity would do more
good than now. The matter is one
that should receive consideration and
action.

MUST TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES

The extra session to be called by the
incoming administration Is only the
intention of democracy to fulfill her
pledges to the country to revise the
tariff and carry out the provisions of
her platform which are so overwhelrn-
ng1y endorsed i'm the election just
passed. Any man who voted against
President Taft voted for this incoming
reform He did not do it unwittingly.
He was his own master at the polls.
He will accept the new regime as his
doctrine and the fall in wages along
with the fall in prices of what he
buys. The people Lave demanded that
the high cost Of living be reduced. De-
mocracy is i'm the saddle, now let them

CORNERS AND SPECULATION.

The ultimate effect Of the decision
Of the United States supreme court,
that it is illegal to operate a corner in
any article OF interstate commerce, Is
bound to be an increased public senti-
ment against all forms of speculative
trading carried to its logical conclu-
sion. They are based entirely upon
margin operations. They have no 9TH
er foundation than the dealing in rep
resentatives of material things, with
out there being necessarily anything
material to represent, as is shown
when more wheat or cotton is bought
or sold than the visible supply. The
man who sells has none to sell and
the man who buys wants none. All
that either is DESTROYS of doing is to
raise or lower the price.
Every speculative transaction on a
stock exchange or in a wheat pit has
in it the germ of the corner Enough
of them put together make the corner
A corner Is just as bad when engln-
eered by one man--an Armour, say
as when manipulated by a number of
men in so-called Conspiracy"
Every man or company which buys on
margin TO support the market" and
every one selling to bear" it is per-
forming all the essential acts of a cor
ner and in q greater or less degree
producing its evils 1t is going to be
line between the illegal corner and
legitimate trading by speculative
plunges in wheat, cotton and stocks.
Ultimately this difficulty is bound to
increase general hostility to all specu-
lative trading and all manipulation of
prices by exchange operations. How
far it will be constitutional or desir-
able to go in the matter of limiting
and regulating exchange dealings Of a
speculative nature is one of the prob
lens to be threshed out in the future.
This court decision against the legal
ity of corners will tend to hasten the
time when discussion of the matter
will become acute.

One beneficiaI effect Of the decision
in the case of the Stewart Mining
company versus the Ontario Mining
company Is that no matter what a
higher court may hold, the possibility
Of an adverse decision isn't going to
prevent the active working of the On
tario. These are fairly good times for
the mine workers and they want to
make all the hay %hey can while the

THE LEAD AND ZINC TARIFF.

Representatives. of the lead and zinc
interests from Colorado Idaho and
Missouri have been in Washington be-
fore the ways and means committee
of the house of representatives, offer
ing evidence against the possible re-
duction of the tariff duties of these
metals and their ores. Well prepared
data, 1t is understood, have been pre-
scented to the committee, which is now
engaged in hearing to be ready for
the special session of the new congress
after the inauguration. Much similar
testimony was offered last spring by
the same interests during the period
when the democratic majority in the
house was considering the Underwood
bill
Concerning the status of the lead
metal has increased materially during
the last three or four years, its market
position has not changed so much as
to affect the right or wrong of the

from the large number Of candidates
for officers of the state those best
fitted for the positions to which they
aspire. For example, the northern
counties OF the state are not acquaint-
ed with the prominent men Of the
south or of the southeast and can not
make selection of the men best suit
ed for the state offices. The same con-
dition Is true here.
THE principle Of the primary law is
all right. 1t Is wrongly applied In this
state. We can select, with some de-
gree of certainty, the best men for the
respective county officse and also the
district offices, including the candi-
dates for the congressional districts Of
the state, but the state offices are
purely a matter Of guess work and
newspaper notoriety. ! suggest the
amendment so that the county and
district officers will be nominated un-
der the primary system and that at the
primary the delegates to state con-
vention, to be held for state officers,
be elected.
Under the proposed plan, the best
and strongest men would be sent by
their respective parties to the state
convention and there discuss the avail
ability and qualifications OF the as
pirants for the state Offices The peo-
pie at large, through these delegates
would get better idea Of the men for
whom they are asked to vote.
THE plan suggested provides for the
election Of delegates at the state pri-
maries. The men and women of the
state of all parties want to be fair to
each other-desire to apportion offices
to each of the geographical sections Of
the state and provide that each Sec
ton be represented on the state
boards"

Some things that were taught us

When we learning to spell cat and

Had it come true, the country would
have had to tolerate several presi-

But as things turned out, the glori-
Gus country has to be satisfied with
out any president, now and then.
And the rest of us who, of course
ought to be there, are serving as la
