Charges have been filed with the President
 against Governor Strong by William Wade a
 clerk formerly employed in the Governors of-
 flee to the effect that the Governor has retain
 ed Shorthill in office as his private Secretary.
 in spite of the fact that Shorthn is Repub-
 Hcan The charges are the continuation of
 fight that has been waged by one wing of the
 Democratic party in Alaska for several months
 Reading this dispatch Aaskans win be reminded that almost without their realizing it. record has been shattered and startling precedent created. An official of tho Terrtory-the highest thathas been permitted to continue in office and attend to his duties for nearly three years years without charges having been filed against him !l Such reprehensible over sight all the more regreable when it is realized that took only three months to dig up evidence of the hen- ous crime of which the Governor now stands accused.
 That the charge will lead to conviction should of course be foregone conclusion, for what can avail record of having been Aasas best Governor in the face of such an indictment?

 in the original bill They were offered
 as amendments and they had to be ac-

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

The republican congressional cam
paign committee recently issued a
statement embodying the results of an
analysis of the returns from the cleo
ton of last fall from which three most
interesting and significant facts stand
out clearly
First: The republicans carried up
on national issues enough states to
give that party clear majority in the
electoral college and to elect a repub-
lican president.
Second: The small democratic ma
jorlty in the present house Is due to
the progressive vote in certain dis
tricts. Therefore, the democrats con-
troll the house through minority vote
and is entitled to be known as the min
GRITTY party in that body.
Third: Two thirds Of the progress
i've vote of 1912 returned to the sup
port of the republican members and
candidates. Since the election, how
ever, the progressive party has been
practically abandoned. The remnant
of its membership for the most part
returned to the republican fold, not
withstanding the efforts of some Of its
leaders to sell it out to the democrat
ic party, with which they We're always
In secret alliance.
The republicans carried the con-
gressional elections in % states which
have 2SS votes, clear majority Of 90
This clearly reflects the sentiment ef
the people of the country on national
questions and toward the policies of
the present administrations. and shows
beyond question that If It had been
presidential election the republican
candidate would have been successful.

THE PRESIDENT AND MEXICO.

In his indianapolis speech President
Wilson said a good many things which
do not gibe with the fomer attitude o
the administration toward Mexico. II
said that 80 per cent Of the people Of
Mexico desired to work out their own
problems of government in their own
way, and then defined his position to-
yard the Mexican people in this ny
"Now, | am for the 80 per cent 1t
Is none of my business, and it Is none
OF your business, how long they take
In determining 1t 1t is none Of my
business and none of yours how they
&C about the business. The c)untry
Is theirs The government Is theirs
The liberty, If they can get it--and
God speed them in getting 1t is
theirs"
If 1t is none of our business how
long they take to determine who Is to
be in control of the government of
Mexico, why has President Wilson
been sending special commissioners to
the Mexican capital and special agents
and personal representatives to con-
fer with every outlaw leader who
thinks he has enough other outlaws
| back Of him to seize control of the
government? If 1t Is none of our BUSH
ness, why didn't President Wilson per-
nit the 80 per cent to deal with Huerta
in their own way, without using the
power of the United States to drive
him into exile? If it is none of his
business and none of our business,
why was every available ship in the
navy rushed to Mexican waters to
blockade the ports and soldiers after
ward sent to actually occupy Mexican
TERRITORY? Fy!Es
OF course, the president is right; it
is none of our business what kind OF
government the people of Mexico
maintain. But there is one condition
that we have a right to require, and
| with which Mexico seems less able
than ever to comply. The government
If Mexico should be strong enough to
protect the lives and property of Am
erlcan citizens, and if it does not give
protection then it is the business of
UnC'a Sam to supply that protection
and accept the consequences.

NEW PRESIDENT OF MINING AS
SoClATIoN.

II Is highly gratifying to the people
of the Occur d'Alenes that the Idaho
Mining association should again select
its president from this district, and 1t
Ia particularly pleasing that James f.
Mccarthy of this city, president and
manager Of the Hecla Mining COM
pany, is the man, He Is man OF
wide and varied experience in mining
and his ong residence in Idaho anu
intimate connection with mining oper-
ations have given him an insight to
the needs of the industry in this state
that will be of special value to him In
meeting the requirements of his new
position and which will be of great
value to the association as well.
1t is recalled that Mr. Mccarthy was
one of the first to recognize the I'M
portance of organizing the mining In
terests of the state and he took an
active part in bringing 1t about His
idea was that such an organization
would accomplish much toward edu-
eating the people of the state on the
value of mining and would thus over
come much Of the friction and antag-
onism that has existed to a greater OF
less extent between the mining ano
agricultural interests 1t is evident
that much has been accomplished and
under M. McCarthys leadership 1t Is
believed that the Idaho Mining asso-
citation will make even greater pro-
gress in that direction.

THE BOYCOTT EVIL.
butte Miner)

Union men throughout the nation
are realizing now more than ever be-
fore how greatly they themselves have
been victimized by certain rules and
regulations which some of their lead
ers, and especially those of the agitat-
ing kind, have imposed upon them,
either by glib talk or bulldozing meth
DDS.
Men who have affiliated for years
with unions for the purpose of con-
scientiously endeayoring to improve
and maintain better conditions in the
world of labor, who have been thor
oughly honest in their views, and who
have been sincere and just In their
principles, all too often have been
made to bear the adverse results of ac-
lions instituted and urged along by the
Headers and meters to trouble who
have lived very comfortably off the
lworkingmen while posing as their

discovered that the more they could
foment trouble, the more apt they were

fees. They were smart enough to
realize that during the course of trou
| BILE, union organizations would not be
apt to change officers.
The boycott proposition has been
carried to such an extreme in this
country that the natural result has
been sentiment against 1t that prom
ises its abolition for all time. And in
that move to relegate 1t to oblivion,
thousands Of union men heartily join,
for there are many of them who often
have felt like declaring against such a
| method, but have not wanted to be the
first to make a stand regarding it, be-
sides not knowing exactly whether
Iothers who held similar views would
want to join in any protest which, in
their opinion, possibly might be con-
strued to be a movement for disrupt
ing whatever union they belonged to
1t the time.
The boycott proposition, either as a
threat, means Of revenge, or coer-
Give move, apparently is doomed for all
time In this nation, and many a. union
man Is glad of 1t,
