JUDGE STEWART.

In the death of Judge George II.
Stewart the state of Idaho has not on
ly lost a jurist of the highets ability
and legal attainment. but a citizen
whose best efforts were in the service
of the state and whose private and
public life was without flaw or blem-
ish. Although sorely afflicted for u
number Of years with an ailment that
incapacitated him for his judicial dut-
les, there were times when his strength
revived and he would take up his work
with a cheerful determination that
won the highest admiration.
Following the labor disturbances of
1899, Judge Stewart, then district
Judge, was called to Shoshone county
to try a celebrated case growing out
Of that trouble. It was then that he
became known to many citizens Of this
district and he won the esteem and
confidence Of all by his fearless and
fair conduct Of the case.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1914-10-01
FACTS TOLD IN FIGURES.

A comparison of the vote cast in the
recent primary with that Of two years
ago leaves no other conclusion than
that Idaho is safely republican this
fall. Taking the highest vote cast in
each party in the primary 1t is found
that in round figures $4,000 republi-
cans voted for senator. 2O.5OO demo-
Gratis voted for congressman and $500
progressives voted for senator making
total of $500 votes cast in the pri-
mary. In the general election two
years ago Governor Haines received
$4,000 votes, Wilson $4,000 and Roose-
Welt 25.5OO, making total vote for the
state of 100000. The total vote Of the
primary was $500. The primary vote
would therefore indicate voting
strength of the three parties as fol-
lows. Republican $4,000, democratic
$4,000 and progressive $4,000. Not
much consolation in these figures for
our democratic friends.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1914-10-01
THE PRICE OF LEAD.

Naturally, the democrats are en-
deavoring to make 1t appear that the
European war is responsible for the
weak market for the products Of the
mines. The decentralization Of the cop
per market Is no doubt due in a great
measure to the war, but let no one be
misled into the belief that the war has
to do with the domestic lead
market. Lead was low and the mar
ket was weak long before there was
an intimation Of a war in Europe.
Comparatively little American lead is
the demand in the home
beginning with the free trade tariff law
domestic supply under normal condi-
lions. But conditions have not been
normal since the democrats took over
control of the government. The radi-
cal legislation enacted and proposed,
market being sufficient to absorb the
and ending with the antitrust law
now before congress. coupled with an
attitude OF hostility toward big bust
ness and a disposition to NEEDLE with
matters Of business beyond the pro-
vence of government, have simply
forced the Industries Of the country to
adopt the administrations own policy
of "watchful waiting" The result is
that there Is widespread business
and there is nothing doing
in those lines Of industry and i'm
provements that consume lead. The
home market Is gone. due to demo-
cratic incompetency and the adoption
OF impractical theories of government.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1914-10-01
THE LAST STRAW.

We have curtailed the output Of
lead in order to adjust production to
he meagrc market demands under a
democratic administration, and 10 ,k-
ed hopefully to the future when the
restraint to American energy and en-
terprise will be removed by the votes
Of the people.
We have closed our copper mines
because the European war has de.
stroyed the market, and still we look :
ed cheerfully ahead to the time when
the smoke of battle has passed away
and men return 10 the peaceful pur-
suits which supply the life blood to
commerce and trade.
We have stood these backsets to
our Industrial activity with sublime
fortitnde born u q belief that the
worst had happened and that the next
change must Dc for the better. Vain

uIating ourselves upon being In posi-.

policy until tho tide Of prosperity

dence before rendering decision. 1t

rapid increase Of business in a grow

true, then there should be no hesita-
ton on the part Of the people in de-
claring In favor of increasing the num-
Der Of justices.
The second amendment provides foI
extending the terms Of all state officers
from two to four years. From The
Miners viewpoint the argument is all
In favor Of the long term. Under the
present system an officer has hardly
had time to get even for the expense
OF his first election when he Is con-
fronted with the necessity Of begin
ming the campaign for the second. It
Is not merely the financial phase Of It,
for that deserves the least considera.

Just when he has become well ac-
quainted with his job and in position

has come to be an unwritten law that
Ia state officer who makes good is en-
titled to a second term, and It would
seem to be in line with good public
service to make the term four years
and eliminate the disturbance incident
to an election at the end Of two years.
The third amendment proposes to
abolish the Office Of state superintend-
|ent Of public schools. The new educa-
ltional system adopted by the state
seems to have absorbed all the essen.
tial functions Of the office. The new
system OF handling the educational af-
fairs Of the state gives every evidence
Of proving great success and pro-
nounced improvement over the old,
But 1t Is still in an experimental stage
and It would probably be the part of
wisdom to retain the state superin-
tendent until the new system is thor
oughly tried out.

amendments and vote for or against
each one Of Them.

BRADY WILL SOON BE HERE.

Senator Brady il now on the way to
Idaho from the national capital and
expects to be in Boise on October or
4. His campaign headquarters have
been opened In that city and he will at
once arrange his itinery Of the state.
II Is expected that his speaking dates
will be arranged so that he will cover
north Idaho early in his csmpaign,
closing in the south. and he may there
fore be expected in Wallace at an early
date. That he will receive most cor
dial reception in Shosnone county ~
certain, for his splendid services In
the senate are abundantly recognized
here. This state has never had a rep
resentative In congress who kept In
closer touch with his constituents
than has Senator Brady, nor one who
was a more untiring worker In their
behalf. His tremendous lead over all
opponents in the primary clearly in
dicates the value placed upon his SER
vices by the people of Idaho, and it is
predicted that he will be returned to
tho senate by majority over his OPP
ponent even more significant.

the hundreds OF development compan-
les depend for raising money to car
Iry on their work. They tell the facts
and point to the great dividend pay
ing mines which passed through the
same prospective stage as a reason for
the faith that Is In them.
The people of the Occur d'Alene dis
trict believe that they have the most
attractive field for mining investment
to be found in the west, and they also
believe that Is claim is susceptible Of
proof Although for more than
quarter of century the mines here
have yielded millions in profits, and
although there Is more ore in sight
now than ever before and certainty
Of more new mines entering the pro-
ductive stage, and more prospects
Awaiting the touch Of capital to trans
form them into mines-with all this
known to the people here, 1t Is a fact
1 that the outside world Is less informed
on the production of the Occur d'Alene
mines and the opportunities offered
for investment than on any mining
section Of the west, age and mineral
production considered.
An opportunity is now offered to
change this situation. to let the world
know what we have here In the way
of mineral resources, what the mines
have done already and what other
mines will do. and without going be-
yond the bounds Of legitimate promo
ton. The Panama exposition at San
Francisco is the opportunity and the
representative Of the Idaho commission
is here for the purpose Of seeing that
the district Is properly represented.
But he can not do 1t alone. He must
have the active and enthusiastic sup
port Of the people Of the district. He
has definite plans for a mineral ex-
hibit that can not fail to attract great
attention from the hundreds Of thous-
ands who visit the great fair, but he
must have local help to carry them
out. The season Is late and the time
is short to get everything in readiness
for the opening Of the exposition in
February, and whatever Is done must
be done quickly. Organized effort Is
necessary, and to this end the CONNER
cial bodies and the local chapters Of
take the lead.
