A SUGGESTION TO THE EDITORS

- lHE Minnesota Editorial Association is
meeting in annual session at Minneapolis
today and tomorrow, and as usual the
ii meeting will be full of interest and bene-
fit to those moulders of public opinion
II who attend 1t has been our pleasure to
II be participant in these gatherings and
Ii we know just about what the business
Ii before the house, will consist of, and
II have pretty good idea of the subjects
that will be chosen by the invited speak
There will be talks on advertising
by experts in that all important branch
of the craft; circulation men will give ad-
vice upon how to increase and maintain remuner-
alive subscription list; and then for the edifcation
and information of the rural editor, suggestions
may be made concerning the addition of new de-
partments for the purpose of livening up interest
in their respective sheets.
All this is important and cannot help proving
beneficial to the publishers; but suppose by way of
diversion they would consider another question
question of giving square deal to every man,
rich or poor, friend or stranger, who may come
under their editorial eye for criticism?
You know what we mean-the fellow who is

change; IN 1aCC IL was one or the nrSt dis
coveries we made when we took hold.
The largely increased prison population
has brought with it a correspondingly
large increase of contributors whose copy
is we'll worth publication and under the old condi-
tions it was impossible to accommodate anywhere
near all who sent in contributions. The matter
presented to the prison management, and, al
ways generous in their support of the Mirror,
they at once agreed to increasing the size-and so
we come to you.
Besides being column wider on each page
the paper has added two inches to the length of it's
columns, which will give a total increase of one
hundred and twenty eight inchesfof reading mat
ter, over and above what you have had before
This will give opportunity to spread our
selves in making the Mirror brighter and better
than it has ever been before. 1t will give us room
for the contributions we've had to turn down be-
fore for lack of space; more shop news will be
given, and arrange for it, every
department in the prison will be represented in
these columns. Papers of merit prepared by
Chautauqua members and read before the Circle
will be printed more regularly. and column will
be devoted each week to live news of the outside
world
But do not imagine for an instant that the Mir
sor is going to be content in merely increasing it's
size-there are other improvements to be made
and other and grander victories to be won; and we
call upon the inmates to help us win them. There
is real work to do, and it is mans job. To
besuccessfu every man in the institution must give
his active and moral support by reading the paper
inteligently and REMEMBERING WHAT HE READS.
Note our aim, -our hope and our motto-
To tho
OUR HOPE:-To turn prison darkness to eternal day.
OUR MOTTO: st Is Meier Too Late to Mend
If you will do your part by doing what you
can to fulfill the above, and through your ex-
ample influence others to do the same, the Mirrors
success will be assured. Our confidence in the
men and women of this institution is strong
enough to make us feel mighty certain that not
one will be found lacking

on all our most important commercial

were savagely prosecuted for acts
done in the full belief that they were
within the law and dissolutions were
sought and effected which greatly in

ness and decreased the returns upon

That the war has dislocated COM
merce and industry the world over is,
of course. true. But in this country
it has merely added to the distress
which already existed,
The prosperity Of this country be-
gan to show marked decline even be-
fore 1870 and while it was relieved
more or less in the years when crops
have been abundant, our financial
course has been steadily downward
although until a little more than a
year ago the world outside this coun-
try was in the enjoyment of almost
unprecedented prosperity,
That we did not prosper with the
rest of the world during the years
1910, 1911 and 1912 must have been
and was due solely to causes wholly
domestic.
And as general economic influences
during that period were uniform
throughout the world it is evident
that our peculiar troubles were due
wholly to our peculiar political and
social agitations, which were obvi-
Gus and sufficient causes for the dis
enlargement of business and the in
crease of unemployment
Started by Cummins.
The starting point was with Gov
ernor Cummins and what was then
called the Iowa idea," whose essence
was a general assault on our protec-
tive tariff on the plea that its enact
ment was fraudulently manipulated
in the interest of particular industries
or individuals. That was never true
to any appreciate extent, II at all,
and If in any case there was a basis
of truth all that was necessary to rec
tflcation was exposure and proof as
to that particular case. There was
never any evidence of any improperly
Understanding but mere uncross-
examined assertion. As soon as it was
seen that agitation was endangering
the principle of protection there began
to be feeling of Encouragement,
slight at first, but gradually permeat-
ing the entire industrial population
and preparing the way for what fol-
lowed

OUR MINERAL WEALTH.
limited States Leads in Mineral Pro :
ducton and Reserves.

Review of ReVieWs)
The United States is not only the
worlds greatest producer of mineral
wealth, but it possesses by far the
greatest known reserves Of any nation
IN most of the important minerals.
This is one of the things that has
made us great and which is destined
70 make us far greater as measured by
world standards. In some instances
such as coal, and oil and phosphate
rock and radium ore the United States
nossesses more than all the other
known deposits Of the world ana the
only essential minerals Of the first rank
which the United States has no known
suppIy at all commensurate with It's
moods are nitrates, potash salts, tin
nickel. platinum. The very emphasiz-
ing of this fact by the cutting Off OF
lamentations may rsult in the discov-
erv and development Of these minerals.
Rut as 1t stands today no other nation
in the world so nearly approaches alb
solute independence in respect to MN
oral resources, notwithstanding the
vast magnitude of our home consump-
ton.

THE MEXICAN JOKE.
Gratitude That Old Man Huerta Does
Not Rub Il In.
est. Louis Globe-Democrat)

est. Louis Globe Democrat)
Nothing but the war in Europe, alb
sorbing so much of the newspaper ac-
tivities of that continent, can account
for the strange fact that Victoriano
Huerta has not been interviewed by
the nearest resident correspondent for
some American newspaper 1t Is
known that he is in the vicinity OF
Biarritz, in Spain. Events now oc-
curing in Mexico would afford him a
topic upon which, we are well assured,
he would now be glad to talk.
For events in Mexico are now 60
ing to Huerta's liking, however much
of pain and disappointment they must
be bringing to Mr.. Wilson and Mr.
BRYAN. There is much less Of legal
and orderly government in Mexico
now than when Huerta resigned the
government and left the country Any
body is capable of seeing that there Is
no such thing as a government any
where in Mexico, although there are
TWO SETS VI OillClttlo' CcbNIi Ni''iii4'AA5
constitute a government, located al
two separate points in the country
each organizing an army against the
other.
In this clear light, which now illu-
inmates a situation in Mexico so lone
darkened and deliberately falsitied or
many occasions by private exploiters
using fervor and want Of experience
TO serve their own ends, nobody car
any longer fail to see the blunderinf
faulty of our Mexican policy. While
we are surprised that Huerta is no
found and interviewed, and more sur
prised that he does not find an inter
view himself, we are also gratihed a
his continuing silence. AS things ar
now going in Mexico, he would ma al
opportunity to make a jest OF tn
United States while rolling a cigarette
And since everybody can see the jok
now, there is really no use of rubbini
It in. We rejoice that Huerta con
tinues embalmed in silence.

STATE SCHOOL NEEDS
LEGISLATIVE ACTION
MANY MATTERS BROUGHT TO
ATTENTION OF BOARD or
EDUCATION.

To meet again within a month. the
state board OF education completed It's
deliberations at Boise for the time be-
ing Friday afternoon and adjourned
until the December meeting. The
most important business before the
board at this time was the discussion
of the needs of the six institutions
over which it has control.
These were taken up in detail ana
will be acted upon definitely at the
December meeting Of the board. The
suggestions made at this time were
passed upon by the committee OF the
directors of each school after careful
consideration. After eliminating what
ever is possible consistent with the
boards policy, the remainder Will be
presentd to the legislature in the bud
get which is to be prepared at the
coming meeting of the board.
Needs of University.
A need for modern and well con-
structed buildings was evident gener-
ally. President Brannon Of the uni
versity presented a plea from his In
stitution for a recommendation for a
bond issue to complete the new build
ing. The university also needs an
implement shed. The one now used Is
rented from private owners and Is not
suited to the needs Of the agricultural
department More greenhouse space
for experimental work in the botany
and horticulture classes was asked to-
gether with some new floors for the
formitory and an extension of the
central heating plant to that building.
For the Lewiston normal school a
need was expressed for money to pay
the city of Lewiston for various I'M
provements, a building for the heating
plant and an efficient ventilating sys-
TEN for the main building.
Need Gymnasums.
Finding its own heating plant un-
suitable the Albion normal school asks
that 1t be allowed to contract for Its
supply, from Mlndoka
Gymnasums are needed seriously
at both the industrial school at st.
Anthony and the deaf and blind school
at Gooding, the board was told. Not
only this, but school rooms should be
built at both places Now classes are
held in the various rooms of the ad-
mlnistration and there Is no separate
building. In the case of the former In
= stitution the expense will be small, for
} the inmates Of the school will do the
work themselves The winter Is long
, and hard in that part of the state, was
e the plea and the young people have no
place at all to exercise indoors during
the winter months.
