In the meanwhile the attitude of the

nine managers were wholly justified
in refusing to consent to return to
that state for any palavering. The

1T is an i'll wind that blows nobody

that has prevailed In Mexico since the
Underwood law went into effect has
practically destroyed the mining in
dustry in that unhappy country and
saved the American miners from di-
rect competition with peon labor in
the production of lead and zinc. With
the restoration of peace in Mexico,
which now seems probable, will come
a resumption Of mining, and the only
protection we will have from the Mex
lean product will be through pro-
tective tariff on both lead and zinc In

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The most significant result of the
election last Tuesday was the I'M
mistakable evidence that the people
are ready to GUST the democrats from
control of the national government
Just as soon as the opportunity is pre-
scented, which will be one year from
this date. In New Jersey the presi-
dents own state, the republicans car
ried the legislature by a large ma
jority. The present legislature is
democratic and New Jersey is norm
ally democratic state. In Massa
chusetts Governor walsh, the demo-
cratic incumbent, was beaten by his
republican opponent, Samuel Mccall
The three congressional vacancies in
New York were filled by republicans
and in Philadelphia the republican
candidate for mayor was elected over
the reform and democratic candidates
by over 10000 majority, the democrat
ic candidate receiving only about 5000
out of registered vote of 100000
These were the only states in which
the results have special significance
with reference to the national cam
paign and they certainly indicate the
return of republicans to power
Another significant feature was the
progressive vote. In Massachusetts
once a progressive stronghold, the pro
gressive candidate for governor re-
ceived less than 5000, being less tuan
half the vote cast for the prohibition
candidate.
In the three states voting on suf-
frage, New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts,, 1t was defeated by
large majorities, and prohibition went
down to defeat in Ohio.

THE NAMES SHOULD NOT BE
CHANGED.

A state geographical society was or
ganized in Mlssoula last week, one OF
the main purposes of which is to in
augurates movement to change the
names of streams, mountains, can
yons, etc, which do not appear to har-
monize with their surroundings and
peculiarities, and particularly those
which sound harsh and uncivilized to
the cultured ears Of modern Montana
citizens. "Rattlesnake creek" Bitter
root" "Bighole," "Stinkngwater" and
numerous other suggestive If not
euphonious names are perhaps sched-
uled to be wiped off the map, albeit
they are part OF the history of the
state and the names were bestowed
by a type of pioneer citizens who are
the glory Of the commonwealth. These
names came into existence at a time
and under conditions not calculated to
develop the aesthetic ideas of the pio-
neers. They were engaged in the
more arduous work os making the
wilderness habitable by subduing saw
age men and beasts, and 1t Is prob
able that most OF the names they at
tached to mountains, valleys and
streams were suggested by their ex-
perlence and observation under cir
cumstances that would have been too

THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS.
civilian cullen Bryant)

The melancholy days are come. the
saddest of the year.
OF wailing winds, and naked woods,
and meadows brown and sere
Heaped in the hollows of the grove
the withered leaves lie dead
They rustic to the eddying gust, and
to the rabbits tread.
The robin and the wren are flown, and
from the shrub the jay,
And from the wood-top calls the crow.
through all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers. the fair young
flowers, that lately sprung and
stood.
Tn brighter light and softer airs
beauteous sisterhood2
Alas! they all are in their graves; the
gentle race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds with
fair and good of ours.
The rain is falling where they lie; but
the cold November rain
Calls not, from out the gloomy earth
the lovely ones again.
The wind flower and the violet, they
persisted long ago,
And the brier-rose and the orchis died
amid the summer glow;
But on the hill the golden-rod, ana
the aster in the wood,
And the yellow sun-flower by the
brook in autumn beauty stood,
: Till fell the frost from the clear cold
heaven, as falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile 10
gone from upland, glade, and glen.
And now. when comes the calm mild
day, as still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee from
out their winter home,
When the sound of dropping nuts Is
heard, though all the trees are still
And twinkle in the smoky light the
waters of the rill,
The south wind searches for the fioW-
ers whose fragrance late he bore,
And sighs to find them in the wood
and by the stream no more.
And then think of one who in her
youthful beauty died,
The fair, meek blossom that grew up
and faded by my side;
In the cold moist earth we laid her
when the forest cast the leaf;
And we wept that one so lovely should
have life so brief;
Vet not unmeet it was that one like
that young friend Of ours,
So gentle and so beautiful, should per-
ish with the flowers.

SPOKANE CART BEFORE THE
coEuR D'ALENE HORSE.

The October number of Mining
Truth, published by Norman & Muxen,
mining brokers of Spokane, contains
an unusual amount of interesting
comment on mines, metals and mar
kets from the pen of Sidney Nornan.
Referring to the recent excursion Of
Spokane brokers and business men 10
the Occur d'Alenes and the beneficial
results which have followed as e.
suit Of more intimate acquaintance
and therefore a better understanding,
Mining Truth says:
Recent visits of mining and BUSH
ness men of Spokane to the adjacent
mining districts which contribute so
immeasureably to the prosperity we
all enjoy, have unquestionably done
much to heal sores allowed to tester
through inattention of the local COM
mercial interests most affected.
There is no doubt that sore spots
did exist and II is more than probable
that they will continue to exist until
eradicated by time. The Occur
d'Aleners object to even partial usurp-
alton of their riches under the head Of
Inland Empire or Spokane mines.
We do not blame them. Occur
Id'Alene' mines sounds better to every
man who knows the geography of the
west. Inland Empire is innocuous
and indefinite; Spokane when linked
to mines In another state is simply
silly,
Even so, citizens OF Idaho's world
famous mining district must not for
get that Spokane has valid claim to
some portion of the credit which Its
mines reflect. Who discovered the
great Bunker Hill mine? Two citizens
of Spokane Who promoted Bunker
Viii into the ken of the world? jim
Wardner. a former resident of Spo-
kane. Who built the railroad that
Ilduttu Oul TIC iiSb bHhtNAhhE SoANAN
from under Kellogg peak? d. c.
Corbln, pioneer empire builder of Spo-
kane. who extended this road IA
Burke? S. S. Glidden, banker of Spo-
kane In later years. After whom was
the town of Burke named? Col, John
M. Burke, soldier of tickle fortune and
citizen of Spokane. And so the story
runs from 1886 to 1915
Surely broadminded Occur dAlen-
ers will not deny that Spokane's claim
to participation in Shoshone's success
is based upon solid ground. There is
glory enough for ALL II is only the
petty grouchful misanthrope who
would build a fence around the great
est lead-sllver camp that lies outdoors
and thus deny 1t to Spokane and to
the world, where 1t belongs--at least
that portion not hidden under the up
turned bushel Of bigotry and narrow
,mindedness."

DOPE FIEND'S WA EREOO-tOr
some thousands, or hundreds or
thousands is it some millions? p
of our most unfortunate American
citizens March 1, 1915, was fateful
day. 1t marked the taking effect Of
a national prohibitory law on drugs
of the habit-forming sort.
A few years ago there lived in a
certain little town certain doctor
whose practice was the largest in all
that countryside. People who could
get no relief from others went to him
and had their pains relieved at once.
Or. Anodyne," they would assert
as they discussed the matter after
ward, took my pain after all the
other doctors had just simply failed.
He knows his business"
In that same little town there are
many now who wonder how they are
to live. For Old Doctor Anodyne has
given them the habit of using the
soothing drugs which finally destroy
the wills of their victims, and at last
their lives and souls.
Old Doctor Anodyne has gone to
whatever reward he deserved, but the
victims of his practice still live-and
many of them wish they could die
The new law may kill them, in the
most dreadful agony known of suf-
feTing humanity.
The law taking effect March is
entitled: can act to regulate the pro-
duction, importation, manufacture,

Are drugs a menace to the people
of the United States? IVY
People connected with the drug
trade declare that the use of habit
forming drugs has increased 10 per
cent in the last year. At this rate of
increase the thing is a menace. FoFl
it is as much worse than alcoholism
as alcoholism is worse than the cof5l
fee habit az
In the future every doctor and
every druggist dispensing the drug
will be required to do so under suchQ
rigid federal inspection that nobody
except the most reckless will break
the law. If the law is efficiently enc
forced not single ounce of opium,
morphine, cocaine, codein, heroin or
any Of their sister dOpes will be dist
pensed in the United States except
under such conditions that the in-)
spectors can trace the matter down
and find out whether the dispensing
has been done legally. 1'l
If your banker, pastor or lawyer
goes suddenly insane after the LIST Of
March and blows on his own or some
body else's brains it may be because
Of this law. No one is too high IN
station to be drug fiend. And ass
for the thousands of poor Outcasts
who drift from one coke Joint to am

KNOCKING OROFINO.

Money spent on good roads, that
will bring business to Orofino, is
worthy and wise, even if the business
happens to come from timber owners.
But aside from this even the home
steaders out in the timber are entitled
to good road, whether the Orofino
Tribune likes it or not. County
Commissioner Harlan may come in
for abuse at the hands of Farmer
P. and j." But the people will back
the county officials in every effort to
improve the county. Especially are
the people interested in good roads.
Does not 81 out of every $40, il we
are to accept Orofino Tribune cam
paign figures, come from timber COM
panies? And does not most of the
money spent on roads go into the
pockets of working people? And
isn't good roads by republicans just
as essential as good roads by the Tri-
bune variety Of democrats, with all
it's extravaganza, resulting in county
debt on the people of an eighth of a
million dollars, with no roads to show
for lot Of the money?
We insist that Harlan has not spent
$50 Of county road funds for booze for
a set Of drunken county officials. The
Orofino Tribune can put that in its
pipe and smoke it. The Tribune
has never overlooked an opportunity
to knock Orofno. If the county
officials ever get to doing the kind OF
business that meets the approval OF
the Tribune we would suggest ar
immediate investigation of county
funds.

LIQUOR FOE OF LABOR.

1t both disqualifies man for work
and makes less work.
One million dollars invested in
liquor employs n men.
One million dollars invested in
iron industries employs 248 men.
One million dollars invested in
paper industry employs 1867 men.
One million dollars invested in
leather industries employs 469 men.
One million dollars invested in tex
tile industries employs SGT men.
One million dollars invested in
lumber industries employs $40 men.
Is is, therefore, seen that if money
invested in the liquor industry is
turned into bona fide industry it will
employ at least five times as many
men.
1t is to the interest of the man who
works to abolish booze.
