THE PEOPLE AND THE PRESl-
DENT.

The pomp and ceremony that hedges
round king is repugnant to the Am
ercan idea of government but 1t Is no
more so than the other idea that finds
expression in the traditional story Of
Thomas Jefferson's induction into the
presidency There is middle ground
between these two extremes upon
which the president should stand. The
glory justice and strength of our gov
eminent are represented in the presi-
dent. and his appearance among the
people stirs the patriotic impulses Of
every loyal citizen and moves them to
give expression to their feelings
through shouts Of welcome, waving
the flag and playing the national an
them. In making these demonstrations
there is no thought of subject and SOW
ereign; rather II is the voluntary and
spontaneous outburst Of q free people

than we are, with less hope Of realiz-
ing what we deem our just rights. The
leap from the frying pan to the fire is
sometimes hastily taken, but often bit
terly regretted. North Idaho would be
q rich and juicy plum to squeeze.
Idaho Is one Of half a dozen distinct
y mining states. Half its area is pres
ent or prospective mining territory.
Two-thirds of it's counties have more
or less ground offering mining posi-
bilites and hence have direct interest
toward protecting and advancing the
industry. The product of the mines
is now greater than that of any other
single industry in the state, and con-
sidering its vast undeveloped territory
it is reasonable to expect the industry
to grow tremendously. These things
are to our advantage if properly made
use of. The statements are not true of
Washington, nor would they fit the
proposed state.
without discussing the merits or de-
merits of the great debris question in
| California, it is well to bear in mind
that by one stroke of legislation, where
the agricultursts were in control, the
production of one million dollars q
month from the Sierra Nevada foot
hills was absolutely stopped. 1t is
stopped today.
There are no insurmountable barri-
ers between north and south Idaho
Familiarity with the geography of the
country will show that there are water
grades to be had connecting the two
ends and opening the interior, all with
| in its own boundaries, and practica
railroad routes That they will be
used is clear to him who can grasI

young and growing commonwealth as

in honor OF one Of their own number
whom they have chusen TO occ.oy fo'
time the highest position witln their

For years 1t has been the custom in
the national capital for the orchestra
In the theater to play THE Star
Spangled Banner" when the president
entered the play house. Nothing could
be more appropriate. nothing could be
more in harmony with the feelings Of
the audience than the soul stirring
music of the national hymn as the
president of our country entered his
box But President Wilson does not
take that view. Upon his first appear
ance in a Washington theater he gave
instruction in advance that the nation
al air should be omitted when he en-
tered. Perhaps this is in keeping with
the idea Of democratic simplicity in
government, but we do not believe that
It COMFORTS with the prevailing senti-
ment Of the people as a whole.

this seems not to have been intentional

ANNOUNCER ENT.

j. l.. Dunn assumes editorial charge
of The Miner with this issue. He has
been more or less identified with the
newspaper business here since the be-
ginning OF Wallace. The Miner man
agement wishes to state that the paper
will improve, that it will later assume
a somewhat enlarged form and that IT
viii endeavor TO capably fiji field
which exists in the Occur dAlenes-
that Of supplying a strictly mining pa
per. filed with live and interesting
news in that line from all parts of the
district.
The Occur d'Alene Mining district Is
one Of vast present Importance and of
vast possibilities in the future In
some respects it surpasses any mining
district Of the west. 1t is yet in it's
infancy. TO faithfully and correctly
chronicle the development of the camp
and to make known it's wonderful re-
sources will be the steadfast purpose
of The Miner. It will not make an eft
fort to print technical mining matter
except that which comes from capable
sources, such as mining journals of
general circulation and official govern
ment reports. These are often of eX-
treme local interest. The general local
and Geographic news is without the
province of weekly paper where dali
les are circulated.
The Miner will endeavor to furnish
the proof that 1t can make good and to
prove it's worth to the district. Poll
tics, protective tariff and business

PROPOSED NEW STATE.

The creation Of the new state of Lin
coin can hardly be called live sub
iect now. The Idaho legislature votco
down memorial approving it. so toe
did the Washington legislature. Even
had both legislatures endorsed It, con
gress would not likely have granted q
new western state. Approval of these
three legislative branches Is necessary
to make a new state. Not move can
be made in that direction now and
probably there will never be a direct
forward step. The new state of Lin
coin is a Spokane dream.
Should the question ever assume
serious aspect there would be strons
opposition in north Idaho itself to
forming n new state Of it's territory and
eastern Washington. Especially would
this be true here and in the distinctly
mining sections. Anu every CpuhtH IA
northern Idaho, excepting possibly one
has more or less direct mining interest
The Miner comedies that northern
Idaho does not get from the state all
to which 1t Is seemingly justly entitled
This is a common grievance and might
amply to any section of any state. Pos
sibly some of the fault lies in not go
ing after 1t hard enough and at all
times with a united front.
Speaking of ourselves. as an exelus-
iveiy mining community there are
some facts which 1t is well to keep in
view. Rightfully at times. and often
wrongfully, mining and agricultural
interests clash. 1t is not desirable for
us as a mining community to be at
tached to state where the agricul-
tural interest so largely predomnates
al il would In a new state as proposed.
II il likely that in such a state the ag-
ricultural interest would be in control
as strong as 4 to |. We have our griev-
sfnces now and we have our conten-
ltionS. but we could be much worse off

THE CASE or c. E. MITCHELL.

One hundred and thirty one citizens
of Spokane, including the most prom
inent in the city, have signed tele-
gram to the department of justice at
Washington asking for stay of exc
cution and review of the trial pro
ceedings in the case of c. f. Mitchell,
under sentence to serve a term in the
federal prison for fraudulent use Of
the mails. The list Of sgners includes
four of the city commissioners, ex-
mayors, leading business men, stock
brokers. and more significant than all
other names, the president of the Min
ing Mems club and the official repre-
sentative of the International Mining
Congress
The telegram to the attorney general
contains this statement
This old-tim and highly re-
spected citizen is being uniusty
condemned through confessed
perjured testimony which has
never been reviewed by any court.
We wonder If the signers of the
telegram have ever examined the tes-
| timony submitted by the government
against Mitchell. Ii they have they

regarding the value and extent of ore

noting in Nevada, Montana, Idaho
and washington. Along with these
letters the government introduced the

SENATOR, LAWYER AND CITIZEN

A few days ago both houses Of con-
of the late Senator Weldon b. Hepburn.
An exceptionally large number Of sen
ators and representatives spoke on the
life and character of their late col
league, and the tributes they paid to
his tireless industry, his great ability,
his intense patriotism, and his un.
wavering courage are most gratifying
to his home people who have long re-
cognized and admired these sterling
qualities. No man ever sat in the
United States senate who possessed a
profounder sense of the responsible
ties of his position, nor who more
faithfully performed his duties as the
representative Of the people. He was
great senator, the peer of any man
! in that assembly of intellectual giants
and he met his death as courageously
as he had lived. He literally gave his
4 life rather than abandon his post OF
duty, fact that he clearly realized as
indicated by his last words: Il am
worn out, but l am worn out in the
service of a great cause"
Prior to going to the senate Senator
Hepburn had earned national repu-
tation as a lawyer. Most of his life
had been spent in the mining districts
Of the west, and naturally his legal tai
ents were most active in mining liti-
cation. His mastery of the many COM
versies was little less than marvellous,
and his arguments were models OF logic
and forceful presentation In many of
the famous cases that occupied the
courts of this country in carly days.
involving millions in mining property,
and which reached the supreme court
of the United States for final determi-
nation, he was pitted against some of
the brightest legal minds in the west.
His success gave him a reputation as
a mining lawyer second to none.
Senator Hepburn knew the mining
industry in all it's phases. He knew
the life of prospector from actual
experience, and his sympathy In pri-
vate and public life was with these
adventurous men whose work con-
tinues to enrich the world. He knew
every canyon, gulch and mountain In
the Occur d'Alene district, the forma-
tons, the character and course of
veins He possessed an intimate
knowledge of the under ground work
ings of the great mines, the wonderful
and complicated machinery for handl-
ing the ore and the processes for its
economical and profitable treatment
He rejoced in the prosperity OF the
people which followed the development
of the mining industry of this district
and the greatest efforts of his life were
put forth to insure continuation OF
this prosperity by the maintenance of
laws for the protection and encourage
ment of the mining industry. Every
movement having for it's purpose the
industrial, intellectual and moral adj
vancement of the Occur d'Alenes re-
ceived his active and hearty support

Dan Gardener, a pioneer of the

for many years and one of the for
tunate owners of the Hercules mine,
who shared in the struggle of it's early
development and yet retains his in
terest, is mining lead in his native
land, at Barcelona, Spain. Recently
he sent barrel Of his ore to Wallace
to be tested at the Hercules mill for
concentration.
According to The Miners informant
the ore sampled is not high grade

pearance it somewhat resembles Occur

The Barcelona lead mines have been
worked for centuries.
