A WORLD IN PAWN.

VIII Europe ever pay it's war debt
The aggregate debts Of the powers a
year ago were about $1S,000,0 900, 900. BY
the end Of this year they will aggre-
gate about ,OOO,OOO,OOO. SO quickly
does war of this sort put the world
In pawn. In fact, should the conflict
continue two or three years the an
nual interest on national debts would
amount to as much as the debts them
selves amounted to before the war
And even then the burden was so
great that society had become intol-
Grant Of It.
A sort of confiscation. instead of di-
rect reputation, might be accomplish
ed by a graduated income tax, al
though many of the national bonds
are guaranteed against taxes of any
kind. 1t is reasonably certain that the
principles of democracy will receive
a great impetus if Germany is defeat
ed, and reputation might not be I'M
popular to an electorate A yoke may
in time become too burdensome for a
people to carry.
A world in pawn. Who will take it
out? Or will it remain in pawn for
generation after generation, until deb,
and evidences of debt wealth and
poverty, our whole economic system
and our civilization have been thrown
into the discard?

A TOAST TO OUR SUCCESSOR.
1Anthor Irnknownl


Here is toast that want to drink to
a fellow I'll never know
To the fellow who's going to take my
place, when it's time for me to go.
I've wondered what kind of a chap
he'll be, and I've wished l could
take his hand
Just to whisper 81 wish you well, old
man." in a way that he'll UNDER
stand.
I'd like to give him the cheering word
that I've longed at times to hear;
I'd like to give him the warm hand
clasp when never a friend seems
near
I've learned my knowledge by sheer
hard luck, and | wish l could pass
1t on
To the fellow who'll come to take my
place some day when l am gone.
Will he see all the sad mistakes I've
made and note all the battles lost?
VIII he ever guess of the tears they
caused, or the heartaches which
they cost?
Will he gaze through the failures and
fruitless toll to the underlying plan
And catch a glimpse of the real intent
and the heart of the vanquished
man?
l dare to hope he may pause some day
as he tolls as / have wrought
And gain some strength for his weary
task from the battles which I have
fought
But I'VE only the task itself to leave
with the cares for him to face,
And never a cheering word may speak
to the fellow who'll take my place
Then here's to your health, old chap,
I drink as a bridegroom to his
BRIDE
leave an unfinished work for you, but
God knows how tried.
I've dreamed my dreams as all men do,
but never a one came true.
And my prayer today is that all the
dreams may be realized by you.
And we'll meet some day in the great
unknown out in the realm of space,
You'll know my clasp as I take your
hand and gaze into your face,
Then all our failures will be success in
the light of the new found dawn
SO I'm drinking your health, old chap
who'll take my place when | am
gone.

When asked by a reporter in Seattle
the other day what would be his attl-
tude in the national campaign next
year, Colonel Roosevelt replied that
he could not tell until he knew the
condition that would prevail at that
time. 1t was INHERENT three years ago.
Then the colonel was busy making the
conditions and telling everybody else
what the condition would be-

Governor Alexander made his for
tune in the clothing business mainly
through persistent advertising. Evil
IDENTIFY he is acting upon the theory
that the same system will bring cor

he has evidently overlooked one very
essential point. In the clothing bust
ness he had the goods to back up his
advertising statements, while in poll
tics he has utterly failed to deliver the
goods he advertises

DIVIDENDS PAST AND FUTURE.


In this issue of The Miner will be
found a tabular statement showing
the details Of operation of all the
mines Of the Occur dAlene district
with the net profit or loss in each
case for the year 1914. 1t is a re-
markable showing, and the publica-
lion of the figures will do more to in
duce the investment of capital in this
district than any other means of adj
vertising that could be devised. The
reader should bear in mind that these
figures are compiled from sworn
statements required by law and that
they are absolutely correct in every
particular. Over $6OOO,OOO in net pro-
fits during year in which the range
of prices for lead, spelter and silver
was lower than it had been in many
years These figures justify the pre-
diction that the present year will show
net profits exceeding $S000,00O, con-
sidering the phenomenal price of spell
ter and the price of lead far above the
high level, with every indication that
these prices will be maintained during
the remainder of the year. This pre-
diction Is made after making allow
ance for the prolonged shutdown OF
the biggest dividend Garner among the
lead producers. Should that property
resume operations within reasonable
time, 1t Is not improbable that the ne,
earnings of the mines of this district
would reach the $1O,OO0,OOO mark.
The best feature of these state
ments from the investors standpoint
is that splendid profits may be deriv-
ed from Occur d'Alene lead and zinc
mines when prices of the metals are
below the normal. Until the closing
months Of 1914, when the war in Eur
ope began to make it's influence felt
through the increased demand for lead
and spelter particularly the latter, the
business depression throughout the
country had demoralized the metal
market and prices were lower than
they had been in many years. Under
these adverse conditions there was
curtailment of lead output and one
large producer suspended operations
for several months, but there was no
general suspension, and 1t may be said
without fear Of successful contradic-
ton that no mining district in the west
stood the stress of dull times as sue
cessfully as the Occur d'Alene Six
million dollars in net profits during
period Of business prostration through
out the land. Six million dollars to
the good while base metal mines
throughout the west were idle on ac-
count of low prices and lack of de-
mand for their product. These figures
tell the whole story of mining in the
Occur d'Alenes. AS a field for safe
and conservative investment in mines
this district has no equal in the west.

POOR PEOPLE GIVEN
SPLENDID XMAS DINNER


There was a fine Christmas dinner
served to all the common and poor
people of the city and reaching out
some distance into the country, by
the Pentacostal church of the Nazar-
enc, corner of Fifth and Denver Sts.,
on Christmas day,
There were 142 served in the large
dining tent, stretched for that pur-
pose, and eleven dinners sent out,
making lS3 in all. Some poor famil-
les have been supplied with proviS-
ions since the service OF the dinner.
The Sunday school rendered fine
program, consisting of recitations and
songs; no Santa Claus or Christmas
tree to fool the children in this pro-
gram; but a real spiritual program.
At the close of the program, Rev. b.
w. Rice, being present, was called to
the platform and spoke to the child
rem and large congregation for few
minutes. He impressed the truth on
parents that children could be saved ;
and, also told the children that child
hood is the time to seek the Lord :;
but had to hasten away to catch his
car.
The pastor then preached for 20
minutes, after which the altar was
opened and a mother and her little
boy and two others came forward
and prayed through to God, in the
old-fashioned way.
In the course of the afternoon all
the children received treats.
There was a large congregation
back at night to the revival meetings
(Which are still in progress, and will
continue indefinitely when more seek
ers came forward and found the Lord
If there are any poor people in the
city that need help they will be
promptly looked after by the pastor
and his wife, if someone will kindly
report them to Clyde T. Dilley and
wife, 42l Denver Street.
The Church of the Nazarene want
to extend their heartfelt thanks to
Rev. B. W. Rice and especially his
wife, who so cheerfully and kindly
assisted them in raising the funds for
this dinner. They also wish to ex-
tend their heartfelt htanks to all, the
business men of Caldwell who so
kindly responded to the call for help,
and furnished nearly all the provis-
ions and coal, and furnished the tents
to serve the dinner in, also to the
stoves and the lumber for the floors,
free of charge. God bless them, every
one, and bless the precious sisters out
side the church who so materially as
sisted in the cooking of the dinner
and the furnishing of the tables and
minor articles, thus helping to make
it a grand success, cooking every
thing in fine shape, baking all the
bread, pies and cakes, etc. The Good
Lord reward them.
Much credit is due the ladies OF
the church in handling the crowds
an dtaking care of everything.
A unanimous vote of thanks was
given by the congregation to all who
so kindly assisted in this undertaking.
Everyone is cordially invited to at
tend the revival meetings every night
at 7:l5 o'clock, where the old-fashion-
ed gospel is preached in the old
fashioned way.

To Correct Governors Errors.
The new State Tax Association will

first things it will do, judging from
the sentiments expressed by the
speakers at the meeting, will be to
pursuade the legislature to recreate a
State Tax Commission. The commits
sion was abolished by the legislature
at the request OF the governor. In
fact the legislature may be said to
have been coerccd in order to save
the Public Utilities Commission. The

ton in taxes. 1t earned its cost ana

French Out For Congress.
All doubt has been set aside as to
the political intentions of Burton l..
French by the positive announcement
of his friends that he will be a candi-
date for congress. 1t is announced
that he will return to idaho next Feb
ruary and resume his residence in this
state, He has been in the east ever
since the adjournment of congress.
He was reported in poor health, and it
seemed doubtful if he would be ply
sically able to enter a political cam
paign. All doubts have, however,
been set at rest by an authorized an
nouncement
French is a peculiar figure in Ida
no politics. He is clean morally and
politically, but so are many other men
who might represent Idaho with far
more ability. In fact French has never
done anything to entitle him to the
dead cinch to entitle him to the
vote getter, but the prediction is free
ly made in political circles that if he
is a candidate he will be nominated
and elected.
