STATE DEPARTMENT.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-August Eau
Vile, of Fairmont, Belgian by birth,
but a naturalized American citizen, is
being sought by the state department,
which has cabled to several consuls in
Belgium to look after him. Fauville
went last summer for visit to his ma
tive country, and when the war began
he was impressed into the Belgian
army. Congressman Nicely interested
the state department, which had him
released, and the department reports
that on November IL he was on his way
home. AS his friends in Fairmont
have not heard from him since then,
the state department has been appeal
ed to again by Congressman Nicely and
cabIegrams have been sent to consuls
in Belgium asking them to locate him.

PLEAS FOR THE RAzORBAcK.

From the Biloxi (Mass.) Herald.
After all has been said against the
old rake straw hog, he never required
the services of a veterinarian or g
trained nurse to bring him up to hog
hoods estate. He gets up in the early
morn, homes his sides on fence post
and goes forth to the brakes and
brambles and comes back when he
gets good and ready. He can we'll af-
ford to be called a "razor- back" for
he raises himself and most of the rest
of us. He does not grow as large as
the more popular breeds, nor grow as
quick, but he boards himself and can
not see why these little details are
anybody's business. Another thing
that can be said to his credit Is that
when fall Of the year comes. if you
can get him out of the reed brakes
time enough to fatten him, he will
furnish you a couple of sides Of bacon
and pair of hams the flavor of which
the world cannot duplicate. We sup
pose that his days are numbered, and
soon he must pass from us forever
but his memory will be kept bright by
the lingering taste Of hambones. rice
and red gravy as long as time lasts.

SOME QUESTIONS.

Engineering and Mining Journal.
If congress enacts legislation ex-
empting labor unions from ordinary
processes of law, what is to be done
when members of a union shoot and
dynamite each other, as recently in
Butte?
What is to be done when 10000
members of the bricklayers' union are
blacklisted by the superior labor or
ganzation and excluded from chances
Of earning their living in so far as thai
body can control things?
If farmers are to be permitted to or
ganize and hold their wheat for an
agreed price, why may not the bakers
agree upon a price for bread made out
of that same wheat? And why then
should not the copper producers agree
about the price of their product?
If thrifty worllingmen have invested
their savings in the shares of the Steel
Corporation, or the other companies
for which they are working, are they
to be punished for being capitalists!
Is the new legislation that is directed
against the big corporations and very
wealthy men in reality going to bear
hardest upon the middle classes, who
are workers even if not organized?
Do the big banks, railways, and in
surance companies really own the bulk
of the wealth Of the country or do
thousands of small investors who by
their thrift have saved from their
labors?
Is the new freedom" to be simply
freedom for farmers and members OF
labor unions and Is the new legisla-
tion to be especially in the interest OF
the incapable and unthrifty?

THE KELLOGG KICKER.

! In spite of the evil forbodings of a
certain grouty newspaper of Kellogg,
in Wallace was conducted in a manner
having due regard for the pleasure Of
the hosts of visitors. 1t is a matter
of great regret that bad weather pre-
vented carrying out to the best ad-
vantage the elaborate program, and
that the limited space in the suburbs
Of the city prevented the aeroplane
flight. But these were matters be-
yond the control of the committee
having charge of the affair.
When the citizens of any town sub
scribe large sum to make the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July attract
i've to outside people. no right think
ing person will accuse them of be-
ing prompted by commercial spirit
because they expect visitors to spend
some money while enjoying the pro-
gram prepared for them. The Wal
lace program contained an excellent
patriotic program which was carried
out in the presence of large audience
in spite of the downpour of rain, and
if there was anything that transpired
during the three days celebration out
of harmony with the patriotic occa-
sion we have heard nothing of it.
The saloons We're closed as usual on
Sunday, and nobody but some morbid
minded trouble hunter ever thought |
of permitting them to remain open.
The Miner feels almost like apollo
giving for giving this small space to
The Kellogg paper, and it is done SIM /
ply because If passed unnoticed some (
me might possibly get wrong i'm (
preston of the celebration of the /
Fourth In this city and also of the re- /
atoms between the people Of Wallace
md neighboring towns. When the
miners of Kellogg and Wardner have
heir annual picnic this year, there
Will be large attendance from wal
ace, just as there was last year.

SENATOR cLARk's MODEL TOWN,

Mining and Engineering World.
W. A. Clark of Montana declares
that he Is shortly to realize one of his
ambitions, and that is the building Of
a model smelter town that will be all
his own This is being built at Clark
dale, Ariz., about II mi'as from and
1000 feet lower than his United Verde
mine at Jerome. The town alrendy
has 125 houses, with spacious d ,or
yards for the children to play in and
a $4,000 school house. The houses
are all so feet apart. A brick kiln is
turning out 10000 brick a day for the
houses. The houses are modern in
every way with water, light and sew
age. No red light district will be a.
lowed in the town and only few
liquor concessions will be granted.
The town is to be policed by Mr..
Clark's own men, so there will be no
politics in the department. AS every.
thing in the town will belong to Mr.
Clark, and he owns thousands of acres
surrounding the town, Objectionable
characters can within "a hours be es-
corted far beyond the city limits. The
new smelter at Clarkdale, which will
treat United Verde and custom ores.

recent election In Kootenai county is
a striking illustration Of the temper
ance sentiment. Surely it will not be
contended that the Mormons are re-
sponsible for the dry victory there,
then why should there be a question
raised as to the sincerity Of the tenn
perance sentiment in other counties
which have voted dry and where a
majority of the people apparently de-
mand statewide prohibition law?
Theoretically the temperance ques-
ton is not political but in reality 1t is,
and has been made so by large ele-
ment Of the rank and file of all politi-
cal parties In Idaho. 1t is no new
thing for political parties to be called
upon to take a position on questions
that have no political bearing. Take
the tax question now agitating the
| pCoPiC Va lHIS SldtC' II 10 uOl d pJIl.
ical question and all citizens are prac-
| tically agreed upon the desirability of
reducing taxes, but just the same
every political party feels called upon
to define its position on the matter Of
taxation and pledge itself to endeavor
to secure reduction. In It's broader
sense. any question that affects the
welfare and happiness Of the people
may properly receive the attention Of
political parties. The wisdom of do
ing so may be questioned, but the
right Of the people who constitute po-
litcal parties to give expression to
their attitude toward such questions
and commit the party t, definite a.-
tion can not be denied.
1t Is ridiculous to talk of the Nor
mon church forcing the prohibition
question on the people of Idaho. Our
neighboring state of Washington is
just now in the throes Of an anti
liquor campaign, but the Mormon
church has never been a factor in that
state. West Virginia has recently
passed a prohibition law. Could the
Mormons have had anything to do
with that? Many states have within
the last few years been voted dry in
which there is no Mormon vote or
Mormon influence The fact is that
the prohibition sentiment has beentI
spreading rapidly in various parts of
the country and it has finally taken
hold on Idaho 1t may not be strong
enough to make the state dry, but 1t |
has reached a point where all political
parties have been forced to take no. |
tice. 1t is idle talk to try to attribute |
this result to the Mormon church fur
Their than to credit it's membership in |.
Idaho generally with being favorable !
to prohibition.

WHERE PRocREssIvEs ARE
GAINING.
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

| There Is one state, and just one state,
In which the progressive party Is max
| ing extraordinary gains and promises
| to be a factor in the future. That state
is Louisiana. The adoption Of the po-
litical name Of progressive for the re-
Tally new party which has just effected
an organization in that state has been
solely for the purpose Of easing the
way for those whose sympathies are
entirely with the republican party in
national affairs to withdraw from the
democratic party of Louisiana with
out offending the old prejudices which
survive there from reconstruction days.
The new party starts off brilliantly.
Men who have been identified actively
with the democratic party all of their
lives are enrolling in the new party,
with the slogan mo more Democracy"
Three members Of the democratic state
central committee resigned their po-
|sitions in that body to become mem
bers of the progressive central COM
mittee. Among other prominent dem
ocrats to change their political allegi-
ance were district Judges, former states
senators and members of the state
legislature and brother of Senator
elect Broussard, who is slated as a
candidate for congress to succeed his
brother when the latter takes his seat
as senator.
The frank purpose Of the new or
ganization is to make Louisiana de-
batable ground at least, and to warn
the democratic party that Louisiana
industries cannot be destroyed by
democratic legislation without retail
liation. AS one member Of the new
party put it: 1.-The rice industry has /
been crippled. The sugar industry has
been Frustrated. Why is it? 1t is /
because the democratic party believes
that Louisiana is an unshakable /
stronghold of democracy and should (
not be considered in legislative pro-
gress.'
The imposition of tolls upon Ameri- +
can shipping in the Panama canal is {
resented almost as strongly in New
Orleans as in Pacific coast cities The f
administration is bitterly
criticised in all parts Of the state. The
new movement is directed against the
democratic party of the south and has
save its name, in common
with the progressive party in northern
states.

Recently congress passed law
providing for IA commercial attaches
in connection with the United States
embassies and legations in South Am
erica, the positions to be filled under
the civil service regulations. This
was not to the liking Of the president
and yesterday he issued an executive
order taking them out Of the civil SER
vice. A little thing like an act of
congress must not stand in the way
Of President Wilson when there are
political friends to be rewarded.

IDAHO SAFELY REPUBLICAN,.


platform convention at Boise have
without exception returned from the
state capital enthusiastically confident
tover the outlook for republican sue
cess this fall. There was large rep
resentation in the convention from all
parts of the state, and this gave an
opportunity for republicans to gain an
insight to the political situation in
practically every county, and the opin-
ion is invariably expressed by return
ing delegates that Idaho will be car
ried by the republicans by a larger
majority than has ever been recorded
in the history of the state.
| There are number of distinct rea-
sons that have contributed to bring
about this feeling of absolute conf
dence among republicans. In the first
place, the present state adminstra-
ton, while not measuring up to the
highest standard in some respects,
has nevertheless been clean and cap
able, free from scandals of any de-
scription and thoroughly in earnest In
its desire to serve the best interests
Of the people Of the state
The n-American policy Of the ma
tional administration has had the eff
feet of sending back to the republican
fold a great many Idaho republicans
who left the party two years ago un-
der mistaken notion and who now
see that the only means of restoring
republican principles and policies in
ment is through the republican party,
and they are now back in line with
the old organization.
Another factor that will contribute
largely to swelling the republican ma
jority in Idaho Is the hopeless divi-
sion in the democratic party in this
state The factions led respectively
by Hawley and Nugent are more than
mere rivalry for political position. 1t
is a bitter fight of long standing and
the result Of the primary will not heal
the breach. There are Hawley follow
ers who will never support Nugent,
and there are Nugent followers who
will never support Hawley. The NOM
nation of Moses Alexander for gov
ernor, which now seems almost GER
tain, will widen rather than close the
breach and can not possibly attract
the support of a united party. Nat T
urally these internal troubles in the
party will operate to the
advantage OF the TepuDllcdlS.
The small representation in the pro-
gressive platform convention and the
personnel of the delegates was con-
elusive evidence that the progressive
party in Idaho is mere remnant of
he former organization. The respon-
'ible element of the organization has
'eturned to the republican party
In addition to these conditions out
side the republican party which are
materially adding to its strength the
