MORE "PHlLANTHROPH."

Owing no doubt to the innate mod
esty of its controlling owner, the
Press Times has not mentioned the
fact that last week Receiver l.. c.
Wilson distributed in round numbers
$4,000 among the stockholders Of the
lefunct State Bank Of Commerce, this
being made possible through the
voluntary" contribution of that
amount by Harry l.. Day, the local
ohilanthropist This contribution is
especially notable because 1t is made
about eight months in advance Of the
date specified in the voluntary
agreement entered into by Mr. Day in
pursuance of his benevolent purpose
to relieve the unfortunate depositors
There is one more contribution to be
made by Mr. Day, amounting with in
terest to about $4,000.
Receiver Wilson states that the pay
ment just made brings the total now
paid up to about IS per cent Of the de-
posits and when the final payment Is
made by Mr.. Day and distributed to
the depositors, they will have received
81 or SO per cent of their claims
against the bank. The efficient man.
ner in which he has handled the as
sets of the bank and the energy he
has displayed in pressing the claims
of the Institution in the interest of the
Wilson is deserving of the highest
commentator.

MAJOR KNOXVILLE.

The movement recently started in
Boise to erect suitable monument In
honor of Major Edward McConville Is
a matter that should enlist the patri-
otto interest OF every citizen Of the
state, and the contributions should be
so numerous and generous that a
su efficient fund should be available in
a very short time. There was not a
man in the ranks Of the First Idaho
Volunteer infantry who did not almost
shed tears when the news flashed
down the line on that memorable NOR
ming in February that Major McCon-
vile had fallen MORALLY wounded. He
was a born soldier, and yet no man
loved peace better than he. He was
a strict disciplinarian, yet no COM
handing officer was more considerate
of the welfare Of his men. AS an Of
ficer he was unbending in his strict
military bearing, yet he was approach
able by the humblest private and al
ways ready with relief.
His long and honorable military
service and his final death in the SER
vice of his country on foreign soil
make a strong appeal to the patriotic

contributions every man, woman and
child in the state should regard 1t an
honor to have his name among the

THE ALBION NORMAL.
Twin Falls News)

!
In a straightforward, man to man
| talk issued in the form of bulletin
by the state board Of education. DR..
Edward O. Sisson, commissioner OF
education, tells of the present educa-
tional situation in Idaho and suggests
number of necessary changes.
Assuming that Dr. Sisson is equal to
the task for which his services were
secured, the bulletin should be given
close attention. The bulk of the re-
port discusses the theory rather than
the practice Of education. but a num-
Der of suggestions Of an intensely
practical nature are included, and the
tendency is all in the direction of
curtailment of expense to the state
rather than an increase.
South Idaho should be particularly
interested in the dortor's views re-
garding the Academy of Idaho and the
Albion normal school, Referring to
the latter the report reads in part
"Those in charge Of this school
struggle against hopeless handicap.
The nearest regular passenger rail-
road station is 20 miles away; there
are times in winter when the journey
Is a serious undertaking: the nearest
freight station Is IL miles distant; this
greatly increases the cost of all heavy
supplies brought in from outside; for
example, coal which costs at Pocatello
$3.50 per ton, costs at Albion $3.50.
lone Of the essentials for a sue
cessful normal school is the nearness
Of schools, both graded and rural. in
which the students may obtain practi-
cal experience. Albion Is remote from
such opportunities and presumably
will be so for many years to come
THE enrolment Of the school has
grown but slowly, in spite Of great
efforts to advertise 1t through the
press, through bulletins, and by per-
sonal representatives"
All this fits in so exactly with the
views Of everyone who has ever given
the matter Of the Albion normal mo-
ment's consideration that the wonder
grows as to why during all these years

The Columbian senate has ratified
the remarkable Wilson Bryan treaty
of apology and surrender between the
South American republic and the
United States; and it is to he pre-
sumed that the presidential thumb
screw will soon be turned on the. Init
ed States senate to induce 1t to agree
to the indefensible $25,OO0,0O0 bargain
This precious treaty Is typical 'f
the timid and cowardly policy of the
president and his secretary of state
toward all foreign nations. An OLD
sore is deliberately reopened, and 1t Is
to be salved over with a $25.0OO,OOo
solatium. The good will Of an insig-
nificant and quarrelsome South AM
erican republic is to be bought with
a large sum from the United States
treasury and it is to have rights and
privileges in the use of the Panama
canal which we deny to ourselves. II
is all quite extraordinary.
The criticism of the Mexican fiasco,
the protest over the tariff, the agita-
ton over the anti trust bills, the COM
plants about industrial stagnation.
the general resentment over the re-
peal of free tolls, will all be as moth
ing compared to the indignation and
excitement Of the country when Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Bryan at
tempt to consummate this browning
blunder.

THE MINING OUTLOOK.

While the prospect for the prices OF
the metals Is not as good as 1t should
be. the fact that what is commonly
regarded as the biggest low grade
mine of the district, the Morning, has
resumed operations after shutdown
which it was feared would be pro-
lopged Indefinitely comes as the most
encouraging development Of the week.
If the Morning can earn profit under
the present prices Of lead and zine
there should be no fear of other prop
critics closing down unless there should
be a complete slump in the metal mar
ket
The great advance made in milling
feature of mining operations in this
district during the past few years. AL
most every company has been giving
great attention to experimenting In an
effort to raise the percentage of min
eral recovery from the ore and in
ever, case these efforts have peen re-
wa,ded with success. The percent
age of loss is less now than ever be-
fore, and the present success achieved
and the knowledge gained by expert
ments give positive assurance that the
percentage of mineral loss will be fur
Their reduced.
This is one of the best features of
the mining situation In the Occur
d'Alene district today. That new ore
bodies will be discovered and that new
mines will be opened up does not ad-
NIT of doubt in the mind of any
one who Is even fairly familiar with
the mining situation in the district. In

which are rapluly DelHB Drought l"
the productive stage, and In some
cases there would be actual produc-
ton If transportation facilities were
available Add to these favorable
conditions which all must recognize
the improved processes in mineral re-
coyery which make it possible to de-
rive a profit from low grade ore, and
1t Is easy to understand why the
future of the Occur dAlene district
holds greater possibilities for mineral
production than has been realized in
the great achievements Of the past.

MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION
(Los Angeles Tribune)

illus AuSclcS 4liOuhS(
Between arbitration and mediation
there is a distinction not always rec
ognized by the commentator on events,
Arbitration is possible when the arbi-
traitors have been named by the par
ties in contention, and where the ap-
pointment carries with it a certain au-
thority Mediation is the friendly at
tempt to intervene, and to so repre-
sent the matters at issue that the liti-
giants may be brought to an under
standing, and a mood to adjust their
differences themselves. The mediator
is powerless to go farther than to
suggest. He may not give orders, and
were he to do so. there would not be
obligation to obey.
Mediation as proposed by the A. B.
C. powers constitutes friendly act.
Back of it is the desire to work for
the mutual interests of two factions.
The effect may be beneficial. At least
1t will cause a tendency towards de-
lay, and thus give the opportunity for
thought. But mediation can not set
tie anything. 1t might lead to arbi-
tration, and this would be triumph.
| 1t may, in the present instance, fail
utterly save in that 1t expresses good
will, and tends in a general way to
promote amity between nations.

Senator Lewis of Illinois has drop
ped the James from his Christian
name, and will hereafter be designated
on the senate journals as Hamilton
Lewis. The excelsior grows out of the
fact that a messenger boy in a Wash
ington hotel, carrying message for
the senator from an intimate. friend
which had been superscribed as
Ham" Lewis, bawled out the name in
the lobby, much to the senator's dis
comfort
But he will suffer the penalty of his
cowardice in not writing it James H.

senator will not escape being called

leaving Hamilton" intact in his name.
He can escape the annoyance only by
reducing Hamilton to its initial letter
and reinstatlng James as his front
name. There is no other way. And it
is the way which a Jeffersonian DEM
ocrat, strangely burdened with the
name Of Hamilton. should fly to in
gladness as to the shadow Of a great
rock in a weary land.
Roger G. Sullivan, now touring ILL

the Illinois colleague Of Senator Lewis,
insists that the senator's hogging Of
federal spoils in that state makes the
abbreviated Ham an appropriate
designation. That is a democratic
family affair into which we shall not
intrude any farther than to indicate, in
this passing way, that there will be

THE CONSERVATION FOLLY.

While the present conservation pol
icy of the government is somewhat
more liberal than maintained under
the Roosevelt administration and
fathered by Clifford Pinchot, it is still
altogether too binding and is a seri-
Gus detriment to the settlement and
development Of the state. According
to an exchange, the state Of Idaho now
has over one-tifth of it's area tied up
in forest reserves as a direct result of
the Pinchot- Roosevelt conservation
policy. 1t is stated that there are 61,-
100000 more acres tied up in western
states awaiting congressional con-
servation legislation. Not an acre of
this land can be utilized or developed
until the conservation laws are pass
ed by congress. OF the lands with
drawn 1,9S5,657 acres are withdrawn
as water power sites; 51,447,920 acres
are embraced in coal land withdraw
ais; 4,617,759 acres as oil lands; g.
S10,671 acres as phosphate lands and
the balance of the 61,41O.667 acres are
held as potash, minerals and reservoir
sites. These figures have been made
by Secretary Lane of the department
of the interior.
When these figures are added to the

that It does away with the need OF

all this fuss and expense in connec-

She was an elder woman and she came

Nor passed my imperfections oy.

Regardless Of what might occur,

Because ynu see I have but one.
And that the law, however snt'",
