THE PIONEER MOTHER.
(Goodwin's Weekly

The women of California are trying
apparently in vain to find an adequate
design for a monument to the Pioneer
Mother They may find the design,
but where Is the artist that can give
the design full expression? The pa
thence, the toll, the self -abnegatiOn,
the immolation of self on the altar of
duty; the suppression Of hopes that
were sweet as life itself; the ceaseless
struggle from the cradle to the grave;
the sorrows, the heartaches concealed
by smiles lest they pain others; the
privations that accepted as a matter
of course: the ministering angel when
others were in sorrow; the courage
that accepted hard fate and bore 1t
through life without plaint-what
artist can from the dull stone kindle
a realization Of what the pioneer
mother was?

OUTLOOK IN sAosHoNE COUNTY

Not in many years has the outlook
for sweeping republican victory In
Shoshone county been so favorable
as it is this year There are several
factors which contribute toward this
happy prospect. One of these 10 fail
ure Of the democratic national admin
istration to make good its widely
proclaimed promise to reduce the cost
OF living. This was construed to be
the most pressing campaign promise.
and to fulfil it the only thing neces-
sary was to call the new democratic
congress together and enact new
tariff law to take the place Of the
Payne-Aldrich measure, for 1t should
not be forgotten that the high cost Of
living was due solely to the protective
tariff according to the democratic
contention. But instead Of reducing
the cost Of living, under the Under
wood tariff the cost has actually ad-
vanced and at the same time has ad-
mitted to this country millions of dol
lars in foreign products in competi-
ton with the products Of American

FEDERATION OFFICERS.

mining and Scientific Press)
Consolidation of the United Mine
Workers and the Western Federation
of Miners Is being given serious at
tention by these organizations at the
biennial convention of the Western
Federation at Denver. 1t is to be not
ed that in report by Charles H.
Meyer opposition is offered to the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
of the federation whereby any member
who has held Office for two consecu-
tive terms is ineligible for reelection.
Although this attempt to GUST the
present officers of the Western FEEDER
alton may not prove successful, it is
evidence Of growing feeling Of dis
satisfaction among the better element
of the organization and would indi-
cate that the revolt at Butte was but
the capitalization of this sentiment in
one locality.

workingmen and farmers. Thus while
failing absolutely to reduce the cost
of living, by opening the American
market to the foreigner the Under
wood bill has reduced the ability Of
our own people to pay the cost by de-
stroying the home market for their
products in the interest Of the for
eigner. If we must have high prices,
then the people must not be deprived
Of the means of earning the price
Protection provides that means, and
the people are simply waiting for an
opportunity to restore the party Of
protection to power
Another factor which tends to put
a clinch on republican success IN
Shoshone county is the fact that the
democratic party is practically con-
trolled by one man who hopes to
dominate the county government in
furtherance of his own personal ends.
The people of this county have al
ready had too much Of the one man
influence in business affairs and TO
certain extent in the county govern
ment also, and they are not know
inglyS going to vote for the extension
and perpetuation of that system.
Knowing that the success of the dem
ocratic ticket means that very thing,
| it will require no argument to induce
! them to vote the republican ticket.
! There are plenty Of other good and
sufficient reasons why the people OF
Shoshone county should support the
republican ticket, but the two here
given are enough to satisfy the aver
age citizen that the best interests OF
this county will be served by the cleo
ton of the entire republican ticket.

HELPING THE DEMOCRATS.

Down in Missouri prominent dem
ocrat recently designated the pro-
gressive party in that state as the
democratic aid society,"" and admitted
that without it the democratic party
would lose the state. The situation
is somewhat similar in Shoshone
county with this difference that the
republican party will be successful in
spite of the aid given the democrats
by the bull moosers. The mere NOM
nation for an office, regardless of the
chances of election, seems to appeal
nightly to some people When some
pretentious leader comes around and
tells how strong the progressive party
Is In other counties, and that all that
is necessary is to get ticket filed to
get big following here, there are
generally few who will fall for such
talk. and who refuse to believe that
the agitator has other than proper
motives for his talk The fact Is that
the weakness of the progressive party
here is simply on par with what 1t
is in nearly every other county in the
vtota Cinsor ond GLADSTONE and Da.
Wis and other progressive patriots tell
the Spokane papers what enthusiastic
meetings they have and what strong
progressive tickets have been nomin-
ated in Idaho counties, and when the
real facts are known it Is found that
the situation in other counties is just
about what 1t is in Shoshone-no pro-
gressive party, and no candidates for
progressive nominations except few
who yield to the pressure Of outside
agitators, and who in turn are en-
couraged by local democrats. No
thoughtful progressive should permit
himself to be misled into voting for
progressive candidates either in the
primary or at the general election
Such vote can have no other effect
than to help the democrats.

THE cOSTLIEST THING A NATION
CAN DO.
american Economist)

Referring to the boastful showing
by the collector Of the port of New
York of large increase in receipts
from tariff duties, the New York Press
remarks:
I'VE can't increase our imports
through this custom house alone by
$500, O00,O 900 year without striking at
a vast body of American wage earn
ers, without striking ultimately at our
own farmers; for when we take away
wages from the workers in our mills
and factories we take away by just
that much the purchasing power Of the
natural consumers of the products of
the farm
Precisely so. When custom receipts
increased under greatly reduced tar
iff and large addition to the free list
1t is as plain as day that American
labor and production, wage earning
and wage spending are displaced by
fully double the amount of that in
crease Agricultural industry feels
featuring industry. Charles Cheney,
skilled observer and analyst, has
said that for every dollar which the
government receives from increased
revenue under the tariff for revenue
only two dollars is taken from some
| American workingman. 1t Is a mod
crate statement and a true one. The
costliest thing a nation can do is to
get more revenue from the increased
importation of competitive rrTmod-
! tiles.

quite a reputation for independence
of thought and action. But after Col
onel Roosevelt got the South Ameri-
can fever under control and got his
son safely married in Spain, he turn
ed his attention to American politics
and once more began to look forward
to 1916. OF course, Colonel Roosevelt
intends to run for the presidency IN
1916, though on what ticket nobody
knows, not even the colonel. But nav
ing determined to be candidate ne
naturally does not want any more OPP
position than is necessary and with
that thought in mind he concluded 1t
would not be well for his political flu

governor of New York this year. For

by the republicans and then be elected,

republicans this year, though he, him.
self, has not announced his return to
the republican party, and, therefore, Is
not entitled to be considered by that
party in the matter of the selection
of gubernatorial candidate this
year. According to Roosevelt, Mr.
Whitman is "weakling," tool of
Boss Barnes" "a liar and lots of
other things nearly as bad. Forum
ately for Mr.. Whitman the district at
torney has a record op which he can
go before the people and that record
can not be destroyed by the jealous

Mr.. Whitman as an ideal candidate
for governor if Mr.. Whitman would
give single interview declaring for
Colonel Roosevelt for president in

CHANGES IN MINING LAW.

A committee of congressman Is now
engaged in codifying the mining laws
of the United States, and in addition
this committee will also make recon-
mendations for changes in the present
laws If In the Judgment OF the com
mittee changes are desirable. The ap-
pontment of this committee has at
tracted much interest among mining
men throughout the country, and much
discussion Is going on through the
columns Of mining publications ana
in societies representing the various
branches of the mining industry. The
Miner has given considerable space to
This discussion and will continue to do
so. for It Is a subject that is or the
greatest Importance to all who are IN
any way connected with mining. WINE
there is no limit to the number OF sug-
gestions for amendments to the pres
ent laws, the big question is the apex
law and the proposal to change the
law governing the location OF mining
claims so that the rights OF the owner
will he limited to the boundary lines
and to vertical planes extending from
them. Under the present law the
owner of a claim having the apex OF
a vein is permitted to follow the vein
even though it's dip carries it beyond
the side lines of his claim. The dis
mites arising over the determination
OF the apex have been the basis OF
litigation involving millions of dollars
in mining property. stopping mining
operations and inflicting great dam
age not only upon the litigants, but
upon communities dependent upon the
mines. 1t is this feature that has
caused renewed agitation for change
in the law that would eliminate this
fruitful source Of litigation. But it is
far from being a one-sided question.
OF course, no one can deny the dis
astrous consequences that frequently
follow apex litigation. and yet there
are so many cases in which It would
appear so unfair to deprive claim
owner of the right to follow his vein
on its dip to any depth that the pro-
posal to change the present law will
meet with great opposition. The dis
cusson of the subject not alone the
apex question, but various phases or
the mining law. Is highly interesting
and instructive, and it is reasonably
certain that It will result in an ex-
tensive revision of the present mining
laws. The Miner would be pleased to
receive contributions discussing any
phase of the subject, for the more
general the discussion the more likely
will the changes in the law prove to
be in response to popular demand.

THE LILAcs.

(Houston Post)
7 shall always sort of banker when the
lilacs are In bloom
For their sweetness, born in purple.
and their gladness of perfume,
AS they looked to me of mornings all
rain washed or dewy wet;
I can shut my eyes and see them, and
believe smell them yet;
Making brighter all the dooryard OF
the home used to know,
Making sweeter all the borders OF the
paths I used to go,
Making splendid all the drawings
when all of life's months were May
AS they now make sweet the Dream
ings of the fields Of yesterday.
There was one big clump OF lilacs'
purple lilacs, and they grew
Close beside the cottage doorway' 'and
we used to brush the dew
From the sweetness Of their blossoms
every morning stepping Ger
The old sill, and they grew upward
till their higher branches bore
Up against my bedroom window; and,
tap tapping at the pane
They would wake me in the morning
to go whistling down the lane
To the bars to bring the cows up for
the morning milking time
Then all of the day to play in, run and
Jump and swim and climb.
But no dreaming will bring lilacs
from the ways Of long ago.
More than it brings apple blossoms
from the trees I used to know;
Dreaming brings no dewy lanes back,
brings no cows beside the bars,
Brings no May born sweetness breath
ing through the night beneath the
stars;
If I haven't got the lilacs ! have got
the roses red,
And wistaria all dew wet on the trel-
lis overhead;
And the jasmine will be blooming, ana
the world Is sweet to me.
Till I'm not so very homesick for the
days that used to be.
