/ Every move made by the democrats
has contributed to bring the republic
cans together. The first was the tar
iff, and the evil effect of free trade
was plainly apparent upon the indus
tries of the country long before the
Underwood law was passed, and con-
dtions steadily became worse under
It's operation. Then came the Mexi-
can question, in dealing with which
the administration showed itself weak
uncertain and incompetent in dealing
with matters of such vital concern to

citizens and to the people of that un-
happy republic, and the administration

the situation Is worse than It was two
years ago.
! Thu next great measure Of relief was
the currency bill, and while it has not
been thoroughly tried out, 1t is signifl-

old republican law had to be invoked.
The failure of the Underwood tariff
to provide sufficient revenue. a fact
that was demonstrated before the
European war, forced the administra-

peace, and even this has failed to
take care of the deficit and hints of Al

The Reputation of the platform
declaration for free passage of Amer
lean coastwise ships through the Pan
ANA canal was shock which alone
spelled defeat for the democracy.
Following these colossal blunders of
the administration comes the president
with a series of set speeches in which
he Is serenely obllvlous to the results
OF his ruinous policies. for even the
returns from the congressional cleo
tons last fall failed to break the psy-
Geological spell and give him a practi-
cal view of conditions as they are.
Meantime the hosts of republicanism
are getting together in a manner that
clearly forecasts the doom of democra-
cy in 1916.

VALUE OF PUBLICITY IN MINING.

The banquet given last week by the
Wallace board of trade drew attention
to the essential idea back of the or
ganization, namely, the necessity of
organized, systematic and persistent
effort in making kpown the extent of
the mining industry, the opportunities
for mining investments, business open
ings and in general the advantages Of
fered to all classes in this great min
ing district. OF course mining is the
foundation upon which every other
business, profession and occupation
rests, and therefore whatever is done
toward encouraging mining and in
protecting 1t from hostile legislation is
for the direct benefit of all citizens de-
pendent upon the mining industry. To
be an effective force in the community
the board Of trade should have some
definite plan of action that has for It's
purpose the advancement of the min
ing industry, and such a plan is sug-
gested in the following from the Min
ing and Engineering World:
"All business depends upon publicity
for It's greatest success. This applies

MINING OUTLOOK IN THE coEUR
D'ALENES.

While the metal market, barring the
recent rapid rise in the price of spell
ter, has for long period not been sat
isfactory, resulting in curtailment OF
output which has seriously affected
the prosperity of the district, there II
nevertheless much in the local situa-
ton to counterfeit the depression and
inspire confidence for the future. There
has never been period in the history
Of the Occur d'Alene district when de-
velopment work in new properties has
been so richly rewarded as during the
past six or eight months, and the most
gratifying feature is that the opening
of new ore bodies has not been contin-
ed to one metal. Lead zinc and copper
have come to be important factors In
the production of the district and al.
three are embraced in new strikes
which combine with the operating
mines to give feeling Of confidence
that has never been exceled.
Compared with other sections of the
country. we of this favored district
have hardly felt the touch of hare
times. and the disaster Of f9reign war
which has demoralizad cammercs and
industry has actually given an impetus
to one branch of mining, giving a
striking proof of the adage that TITS
an Ill wind that blows nobody good
The situation presents an object les
son that should not be lost on the con-
sentative east which still attempts in
some quarters to discredit mining in
vestments, and refers to them as a
gamble in which education, experience
and business ability play no part. In
deed the business condition in the min
ing camps of the west is so much bet
Ter than that which prevails In other
sections where the people are depend
cnt upon Legitimate" industries that
even the ultra conservative east mus
eoncede that mining must have some
merit bordering upon the legitimate.
With the restoration OF normal
home market for lead, zinc and copper,
the Occur d'Alene district Is prepared
TO enter upon a period Of prosperity
that has never been equalled. After
almost thirty years of steady produc-
ton, the district is today in position
to greatly increase its mineral output
both by the addition of new mines and
in the increased capacity and closer
mineral recovery OF old ones. That
the normal domestic market will be re-
stored is certain, for the wants of 100.-
100000 people include much OF the
metals that we produce and they must
eventually be supplied.

REPUBLICANS COMING BACK.

"In my opinion the republican party
will return to power about II o'clock
noon on the 4th day of March, 1917
These were the opening words Of a
letter from Senator Borah to the Lin
coin day banquet at Boise. The same
opinion was implied, If not stated in
words, in the letters read from Sena-
tor Brady, Congressman Smith and
Congressman French and the fore
cast was received in a manner that
left no doubt that the republican par
ty Of Idaho, represented a, the board,
would contribute its part toward bring
ing about that happy result.
There are many things thai viii
contribute to republican success In
1916. The first of these is the rapid

UNITED VERDE DIVIDENDS.
Record of Great Copper Mine Owned
by Senator Clark.

The easing off in the copper situa,
ton in the United States is emphasiz-
ed by the resumption of dividends by
United Verde Copper, which is owned
largely by ex-senator w. A. Clark Of
Montana, says the New York Mining
Age The company announces the re-
sumption of dividends in the February
payment of 75c per share.
In 1914 the company paid 75c q
share in January, February, April
May June, July, August and Novem-
Der, aggregating $3.50 per share for the
year The company paid $3.50 per
share in 1913. 1912 and 1911, and 1926
per share for 1910.
The -otal dividend disbursements
including the payment in February
1915, aggregate $S4,S72, 900 This sum

ating 1t, too, for that matter. Public
ity may mean advertising In the news

with different kinds of business, but
the one object Is sought-to get the at
tention of the interested public.
"No doubt one of the reasons that
mining has not been prospecting as
we'll as 1t might have in the last few
years is that insufficient publicity has
been granted to the industry. This
does not apply to the large well es-
tablished mining operations SO much
as to the smaller. The mines that
lave become successful producers and
dividend payers do not need publicity
to the extent that the smaller unde-
veloped properties do, yet publicity
for the big fellows helps their smaller
neighbors. The success of a district Is
bound up with the success of all the
mines in 1t, large or small. The sue
cess of the mines strongly affects the
prosperity of all other business actiy.

Senate republicans chose wisely in

on their behalf the challenge of Presi-
dent Wilson'S remarkable Jackson day
speech. The effective way in which
the Idaho senator flayed the phrases

able to handle Wilson rhetoric and

Colonel George Harvey made more
than a year ago, that the next presi-

that the washington correspondents
agree in calling the speech "the most

LEGAL INCONSISTENCIES.
Why Not Lie and Steal in Self Defense

If a man is justified in killing in

justified in lying or stealing l.. self-de-
Tense?
If expedence demands the taking of
life, 1t may also demand the taking of
property or other acts generally de-
termined wrong; that is to say, cir
eumstances may at one time remove
the guilt in the performance OF an act
which at another would remain. The
necessary taking of food for the pres
ervation of life by one for himself or
some one dependent upon him could
not possibly be considered a culpable
lct, Is there any one in the whole
world so absurd as to contend that a
woman would not be justified in lying
n order to preserve her chastity?
Our contention is that there are In
;tances constantly arising of theft
which are without moral blame and
which call for their being excused un-
Ter the law. In other words where
t Is evident that this act, or similar
me in principle, has been performed
With equally as good reasons and mo-
lives as that of killing, it should be ex-
cused and unpublished. 1t is highly
probable that the time will come when
it will not only be left for courts to
use leniency in such cases where lack

self will recognize those instances In
