they found forty-two men alive. The
miners were in such weakened condi-

them through the damp and gas to the
entrance. AS Sam Morici was the hero
who compelled his little party to barri-

the larger party to build a rude barri-

the sidewalk and plunged with con-
siderable force against the brick front

was flooded with the escaping water.
Some Of the brick in the corner next
to the door We're Clipped and cracked,
and the frame of the machine was
Dcnt and the wind shield broken.
The loss Of control Of the machine
was due TO one of the steering rods

A HINT OF LIFE

Don't look for the flaws as you &c
through life;
And even when you find them
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat
blind,
And look for the virtues behind
them.
For the cloudiest night has hint OF
light
Somewhere in the shadows hiding.
1t is better by far to hunt for a star
Than the spot on the sun abiding.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whims to the letter:
Some thing must 60 wrong your
whole life long,
And the sooner you know it the
better.
1t is folly to fight with the Infinite.
And to go under at last in the
wrestle
The wise man shapes into Gods
good plan,
As the water shapes into the
vessel.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

woRKMEN's COMPENSATION
BILL.

A workmen's compensation bill has
been presented in the House fathered
by Speaker Conner who is member
of the commission appointed by For
mer Governor Haines to prepare such
measure. Several important changes
are noticeable in the bill over the
draft originally prepared by the com
mission the principal one of these be-
ing the personnel of the Industrial
Accident Board, The Secretary of
State, State Treasurer and Commits
sioner of Immigration, Labor and
Statistics being designated as the
members of such board Another pro-
visions increases the first aid from
$50 to SIS.
The Bill practically ignores the re-
concentrations made by the LegisIa-
tive Committee of the Idaho Trades
and Labor Council, and in this regard
also runs counter to the recommended
ton of Governor Alexander as given
in his message. The Governor took
firm stand in favor of the consulta-
ton of organized labor in the pre-
paration of this bill, as follows:
A good, broad, comprehensive work
mems compensation law is what Idaho
needs. There has been bill drafted
by committee appointed by the last
legislature which will be presented to
YOU ask that you give it full and
careful consideration, but before you
adopt the measure as drafted l would
wish that you look into it we'll and, if
necessary, again consult with the rep
resentatives of organized labor to de-
termine whether the benefits provided
therein are as generous as they ought
to be.
1t is now squarely up to organized
labor to get busy and have a new bill
introduced for all of the friends of
labor to rally to or else to have the
present measure amended to bring it !
into harmony with the progressive la
Dor legislation everywhere demanded
by the unions.

The whole effort in the reorganiza-
tion of the Commercial Club has been
to get the club into the hands of the
people of Boise and make it res
ponsive to the popular wish. To pre-
vent the club, in fact, from becoming
controlled by small clique for their
own selfish purposes. The aim Of the
people was vigorously expressed by
Edward G. Rosenheim, advertising
manager Of the Golden Rule Store.
It was due to Mr.. Rosenheim's alert
ness that the new Bylaws were dis
cussed seriatem, open and above
board, and no opportunity given for
the passage Of any"jokers" that might
hereafter thwart the efforts of the
people to control their own organiza-
ton. Mr.. Roseheim possesses the
new and progressive view that bust
ness and public life must be respon-
sive to the will Of the people and we
expect to hear of his larger partici-
patton in the affairs Of the community
for he is of the right sort.

A WORD TO THE WISE OR
OTHERWISE.

One or two of the large concerns
of Boise have declined to use the adj
vertising columns of The Gem Worker
upon the preteXt that they do not
know whether the paper enjoys the
support and confidence of organized
labor. Their stand is due to the fact
that in the past several papers osten-
sibly published in the interest of or
gained labor in Boise eked out a
miserable existence for while and
then turned up their toes to the dais-
les. That The Gem Worker is not of
this class of publications a perusal of
its columns and its healthy appear
ance as an advertising medium demon
strates
In this connection we wish to thank
the various trades unions of Boise for
the interest and support already given
to the paper and feel assured of the
continuance of the same. We would
urge the members Of the unions to
send in local notices and items of
personal and general interest to all
union men. This would greatly aid us
in making The Gem Worker an in
dispensable adjunct to the labor cause
and would also go to answering the
criticism of the business concerns to
which we have referred
1t is barely possible, however, that
these concerns are not friendly to or
ganized labor and do not wish a labor
paper to live in Boise. We will in
vestigate this view of the subject and
keep the unions advised as to the pos
ition assumed by the business men of
the city in the treatment of labor
paper. In the meantime it is a safe
plan to patronize only those business
houses which invite your trade thru
the columns Of The Gem Worker.

ish frontier, while covering Russian
atciies with glory, will bring Russia
nearer to the realization of the politi-
cal and economic problems bound up
with the question of Russia's access
to the open sea"
1t was later reported that Minis
Ter Sazanoff stated that the Russians
expected to occupy Constantinople
permanently, but in his reply. to an
inquiry from the English house of
commons, Sir Edward Grey said:
81 am unable to find in any report
of Minister Sazanoff's speech in the
duma the statement attributed to him
to the effect that Russia intended per-
manently to occupy Constantinople.
Events on the Russia-Turkish from
tier, however, bring Russia nearer to
solution of the political and econ
omic problems bound up with Russia's
access to the open sea. This is an
Inspiration wherewith we are in en-
tire sympathy. The precise form in
which this will be realized no doubt
will be settled in the terms of peace"
And it was probably in Sir Edward
Grey's mind, although he did not say
it, that when those terms of peace
are arranged, while Russia will un-
doubtedly have scored great victory
in the securing of larger area of
action in Constantinople territory,
England as reward for having led in
the successful assault on the Darda-
nelles forts, will see to it that her
own rights are amply secured.-Des

gram showing what is recommended
by way of peace insurance by the
General staff of the United States
army. AS matters now stand, we find
that for an annual expenditure of
$11O,OO0,000 we have am effective
strength of the army and national
guard of 100000 men. AS against
that, if the recommendation of the
general staff be followed, for pro-
posed expenditure of s157,000,000, we
shall have an effective army of $780,
900; that is to say, an increase of
S47,000,000 to secure 100000 addi-
tional troops.
As matters now stand, the United
States is helpless against invasion;
if the general staff recommendation
are followed, we shall be able, by the
expenditure of s47,OO00OO, to insure
the peace of the country by discour-
aging any naval and military attack
