available for a host Of paid workers,
not only was there tip passed out to
the men In the mines and mills con-
trolled by these democratic powers
that they could call for their time If
Shoshone county went democratic but
the word was also passed to vote the
entire ticket in order to make sure of
the defeat of McCabe. OF course there
were other positions they were deeply
anxious to control, notably the COM
missioners and the treasurer, but the
defeat Of McCabe was the first con-
sideration, and with that accomplish
ed the democratic bosses felt confld-
ent in landing these. Under these cir
cumstances Is there any wonder that
the democrats carried the county with
such beastly majority? They had
money to spend in practically unlim-
| tied quantities, and it is understood
that paid workers were busy in all
parts of the county for weeks and
even months before the election. And
then they had the jobs. These are
dull times. Men with Jobs are hold
ing on to them as they have seldom
done before, for in these democratic
days 1t Is no easy matter to find en-
ployment The intimation that there
would be no work If the democrats
failed to carry the county no doubt
caused hundreds of men to vote the
democratic ticket who secretly REBEL
/ ed against submission to such an out
rageous indignity.
But like the merchant and the bank
rupt stock, the democrats have a lot
Of official odds and ends that they dc
not want, and the more they examine
their stock the more they are con-
vinced that the price of victory was
too high, and that whatever they have
gained in the control of the shcriff's
Office, the treasurer and the commits
sioners is more than offset in the loss
that will be sustained in other offices
to be filled by political accidents and
misfts for whom the democratic pow
ers must stand sponsor.

FLoTATloN CASE UP AGAIN.

That the Minerals Separation com
pany does not intend to give up theil
fight in their efforts to control the flo.
taton process for the treatment of ores
is evidenced by their announcement In
the current issue of the Mining &
Scientific Press of San Francisco. The
company states;
"The United States supreme court
has granted our petition and will re-
view the decision of the Ninth Circuit
Court Of Appeals in the case of Min
erals Separation, Ltd, and Minerals
Separation American Syndicate, Ltd,
VS.. James NJ. Hyde"
Just what is to be done If the Unit
ed States supreme court favors Mr..
Hyde's side of the case is not stated,
but it would appear that the Separa-
ton people would have no higher
ups" to whom to carry the case, and
it is not very likely that the supreme
court will reverse the decision of the
Court of Appeals In case the decision
is reversed it win be up to Mr.. Hyde
to hide his mineral separation ideas
for time.
The control Of this process is per-
haps one Of the most important ques-
tions pertaining to the mining indus
try that has come up in years, and II
the Minerals Separation company is
successful in establishing it's rights,
the process would not be so cheap to
the mining world as it now appears to
be. The company's demands for roy
titles would no doubt Offset the ad-
ltional profits to be derived by its
Use.
The process is coming widely into
Use in the Occur dAlene district, and
We should dislike to have anything
lappen to retard its growth and de-
elopment.

Constitution" when they shaped oul
government in 1887, planned not mere
ly for us. but for the world? That the
federation Of sovereign states which
they devised is the model upon which
Europe is to be rebuilt?
Three months ago this idea would
have been laughed at as a Utopian
dream or bit of American arrogance
Today 1t is advanced soberly by many
leaders Of American opinion, notably
Theodore Roosevelt and Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, and is finding serious con
sideration among European statesmen
1t is the dream of Tennyson, some
what nearer of realization perhaps
than the poet imagined when he wrote
half century ago;
For | dipt into the future, far as hui
man eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all
the wonder that would be-
Heard the heavens filled with shouting.
and there rained CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies Crap
ping in the central blue;
Till the war drum throbbed no longer.
and the battle flags were furled
In the Parliament of men, the Fedora
ton of the world.
There the common sense of most shall
hold a fretful realm in awe,
- II
And the kindly earth shall slumber,
lapt in universal law.
Here are 'the nations airy navies"
battling as he prophesied; why not the
rest? To any one who doubts not that
through the ages one increasing pur-
pose runs" 1t looks like the natural
end Of social evolution.
1t may be assumed that the powers
whelmed in the present war will
emerge from 1t without loss of ident;-
ty Some Of them may lose bits ~
territory and have their wings and
spurs clipped. But they will not he

a Germany, an Austria, a Russia. a
Britain.
And II may be assumed that nearly
all the nations will be more eager than
ever Tor a system whereby they may
recuperate and live together without
warfare or burdensome armament
When the statesmen whose diplom-
acy failed to avert this world wide
assemble to arrange an hon
oraole and workable truce, there will
almost certainly be submitted some
sort OF a proposal for federation OF
nations that shall constitute d United
states OF Europe. And It win find a,
least respectful hearing.

WON MORE THAN THEY WANTED.

1t sometimes happens that a mar
must take some things he does not
want in order to get that which he
does want. This point is fairly Illus
trated by the merchant who buys a
bankrupt stock Of goods. Some of II
he knows can be turned to good pro-
Mt, but most of it is shelf worn, out OF
date stock, unstable and undesirable
at any price Yet the merchant at the
time finds 1t necessary to take over all
the odds and ends in the way of left
over junk in order to secure the line
of goods which he hopes to handle
prohtably.
This seems to be the situation with
the democratic party in Shoshone
county. The powers that control that
organization were out to beat Sheriff
Mccabe at any cost Not only was
there an unlimited amount OF money

The election results in New York
and Pennsylvania were crushing blows
to the prestige Of Colonel Roosevelt
He made a thorough campaign of the
state Of Pennsylvania in support Of his
friend, Clifford Pinchot, for senator,
and his speeches everywhere were
characterized by vicious attacks o.:
Senator Penrose, yet Penrosc received
more votes than Pinchot and the dem
ocratic candidate combined. The peo-
pie of the west are particularly peas
ed that Plnchot failed of election, for
with him in the senate an agitation
would be renewed for a return to the
ruinous conservation policy which he
forced upon the west during the Roose-
welt administration In New York
Whitman, the republican candidate for
governor, was elected, the democratic
candidate being second Sulzer third
and the bull moose candidate fourth.
At this rate the cloonel will soon be
leader without following.

sHosHoNE COUNTY AND PRO-
TEcTiON.

The democratic party is pledged 70
a tariff for revenue only. That is one
Of the fundamental principles of the
party, and the present Underwood
tariff law, according to the democratic
platform, is only incidentally protec-
tive, the purpose being to continue re-
vising the tariff downward until the
country Is on an absolutely free trade
basis. There Is no chance for mis-
understanding of the attitude of the
democratic party on this question, for
it has been stated in every national
platform and the last one adopted was
even more explicit than former ones
Its tariff policy has for its ultimate
aim free trade.
Carrying out this policy the Under
wood law made sweeping reductions in
the tariff schedules on lead and zinc,
and it is the opinion of men well in
formed on the subject that these re-
auctions are sufficient to admit the
products of the mines Of Mexico into
this country, and that American min
ers would now be in direct COMPETE
ton with the poorly paid miners of
Mexico were it not for the fact that
the prolonged revolution in that coun-
try has stopped all mining operations
In the face of this menace from the
Mexican mines, and in the face of the
avowed determination of the demo-
cratic party to further reduce the tar
lff until the last vestige Of protection
is removed, the vote of this county for
candidates for the senate and the
lower house is the climax of inconsist-
ency The democratic candidates for
senator and representatives received
large majorities in this county, and yet
they are pledged to support policy,
had they been elected which the peo-
pie of this county know would be alb
solutely ruinous to the mining indus
try of the Occur d'Alene district. When
President Wilson called the special
session of congress to revise the tariff,
a strong delegation went from this
county to protest against reduction
Of the tariff on lead and zinc, and now
when the first opportunity comes to
express themselves on the subject
they vote for the men who are pledged
to further reductions of the tariff on
these metals both in ore and In bullion
The Miner would be pleased to have
some democrat explain the mental
process which leads him to persist In
committing this folly, When another
delegation from this district appears
before congress to protest against fur
Their reductions of the tariff or TO ask
that it be restored to its former fig
ures, it need not be surprised If the
answer is in the form of exhibiting
the election returns from this county
in which large majority went on rec
ord in favor OF free trade.

sheriff wants the colonel on his staff,

NOT GOLD, BUT THE GAME.

In this weeks issue of The Miner
we publish an interesting story OF the
development Of rich iron mine In RAJ
off Lapland by American prospector'
and mining men.
You will find the American prospect
or and mining man at the ends Oh TIT
earth. They are always the pioneers
in any new mineral country. and the.
never stop to inquire about climatic
conditions before they go. All they
want to know Is that 1t is a new coun-
try with mineral possibilities. Heal
or cold, snow or rain, sickness and
death are all in the days work with
them.
The settlement of Alaska and the
addition of it's rich treasures to the
worlds wealth can all be credited t.
the prospector. It cost many a brave
life in the billiards. and cold of the
north country but that was all in the
days work, and the thing was ac-
complished; the treasure house was
found for the benefit of man.
The prospector is the nomad OF the
mountains. In his search for gold and
precious ores he may be said to roam
from pole to pole, and there is nc
question but what he would find the
pole at either end of the earth If some
one should tell him that gold was to be
found there.
| 1t is not alone his love for gold that
causes this pioneer to brave the heat
of the desert and the cold Of the Arc
tic, thirst and starvation, perhaps, but
| 1t is love Of the game. He likes to
search in out Of the way corners OF
/ the earth for hidden treasure; he loves
! the solitude the wild, the mountains
and the rivers, and all the wonderful
things that God has created in theil
native elements. These he would moi
exchange for the gilded life of the city
or the comforts of a palace. He would
rather be out under the blue canopy o.
l. yN1o
This great western country owes q
debt of gratitude to the prospectol
that it can never repay. Without his
faith; without his love for the game
we would not be enjoying the fruits
of a great mining industry that has
been built up after him.
