American Association Is Almost
Unanimous In Adopting
Resolution

Seattle, Wash, Sept. S.-The Am
erican Bankers Association today adj
opted a resolution, offered from the
floor of the convention by former
Congressman Cornelius A. Pugsley,
of Peekskill, n. Y, strongly approx.
ing and p!edging support to the sew
eral state governments as well as to
the national government, in all eff
forts to secure practical preparedness
along the lines of national defense.
One negative vote was cast.
Despite the objection of the trust
company section, an amendment to
the constitution providing that no
proposed national or state legislation
should be urged by any section OF
the law committee and of the asso-
citation as a whole was passed, The
trust company section regarded the
amendment as move to hamper its
members in an effort to have repeat
ed that section of the federal reserve
act which confers on national banks
trust company powers.
1t appears to be assured that Kan
sas City will get the 1916 convention.
Cleveland, which had been spoken of
as a competitor, is seeking the 1917
convention.
The committee on nominations rec
commended that James X. Lynch

Could Not Resist Invasion

Henry d. Eastbrook a New York
attorney, declared in an address that
1t would be better for the United
States to scrap every gun and war
ship it now owned than to attempt to
resist invasion by a nation prepared
for war.
mo nation threatens us in SO many
words" said Mr.. Estabrook, ''but
who is oblivious to hints and intima-
tions that speak louder than words?
We boast our strength to repel at
tack when We know We are weaker
than dishwater. While every other
nation has been preparing for aggres-
sion we have not even prepared for
self defense.
IL would heartily advocate Mr..
Bryan's policy OF nonresistance rather
than a policy of half preparedness. !
! had rather see every gun and warship
we own scrapped If We are not to add
to them. For If we were without
strength to repel invasion we could at
least claim the privilege Of the weak
and surrender without loss of life.
Whereas, to fight inadequately arm
ed and certain Of losing would be
nothing short of murder for which ev'
cry taxpayer in the United States
would be measurably responsible.
ITO say that We are too big or too
proud to fight in self defense is alb
surd. To say that mob of a mil
lion or so unframed citizenry would
leap to arms and put to fight the
bullet tested soldiery of Asia or OF
Europe is perverse stupidity"
Mr.. Estabrook said a standing ar.
my Of 100000 which would be a skel,
eton that could quickly take on flesh
from the militia, should be sufficient
in conjunction with a big navy. He
declared a large standing army was
frequently a menace to a nation but
that this was not the case with a
large navy.

The Stone That's Never
Been Turned
BY SARAH E. o. MILTON

When things go wrong we oft comp ain,
About our weary lot;
And even say earth after all,
Is but dreary spot.
'Tis then we're apt to peer afar,
For blessings all unseen,
And close our doors against the joys,
Which round the thresh old CLEAN.
But we should ne'er dear Nature blame
Or any friend in heaven
Or say the luck has not been ours
That's unto others given.
Perhaps the gem we're looking for,
The pearl for which we yearn,
Lies meath the stone our hands have made,
No effort yet to turn.

ALONG NORTHERN PACIFIC
U. S. Supreme Court Reverses Olym-
pia Tribunal in Peter J. Con-
cannon Case.

hington.-Reyersing the su-
preme court of the state of Washing
ton, the supreem court has decided
the case of the Northern Pacific Rail
way company against Peter j. Con-
cannon and the two similar cases
grouped with it in favor of the railroad
and against the defendants.
The decision involves the law of
1904 legalizing conveyance by the rail-
road of lands within it's 400-foot right
of way, under certain conditions and
affects many transfers in the state.
Concannon claimed land on the
right of way in Spokane county and
the state court gave it to him. The
supreme court rules that possession
for 10 years prior to the act of 1904
was necessary and that Concannon
had only six years possession.

Railroad Earnings Big.

With the monthly earnings state
ment of the Great Northern for Octo-
Der, issued last week, showing the
largest gross earnings in any one
month in the history of the company,
came a preliminary statement show
ing November to have been the most
prosperous November in the history
of the company.
Incidentally, the October statement
shows the first increase in gross since
October, 1913, which has gone down in
Great Northern history as $9,o0O,-
900 month. This October exceeded
that of 1913 by large margin, how
ever, showing gross earnings of $751;
9s5, 900 as compared with $500, 600
two years ago.
Operating income for October was
$4,000 ahead of that Of October, 1914
For the fiscal year thus far, operat
ing income still is $69s,443 behind, but
this loss is rapidly being eliminated
and the showing for the entire fiscal
year should be far ahead of that oil
| the preceding year.

IDAHO NEWS NOTES

Charles Nelson, an old resident of
the Occur dAlenes, was recently COM
mitted to the asylum at Orofino.
1t is reported Ex-Congressman r. l..
French will be a candidate for the
lower house of congress, subject to
the will OF the republican primaries
to be held in 1916.
The funeral of Thomas A. Smith, a
native of England and pioneer OF the
Moscow district, who died at the age
of so, was held Sunday at st. Marks
church, conducted by the Rev. J. Wat
son. The body was sent to Chicago
for burial He is survived by his aged
widow and relatives in London. The
Smith homestead near Moscow is a
landmark.
The badly mangled bodies of two
miners named Davis and Morgan were
found in drift of the Stanley mine at
Burke, Idaho, Sunday. The fatal acct
dent happened during the night. 1t is
presumed that it was either prema-
ture blast or supposedly missed hole
which called the two miners back to
the drift and is responsible for their
deaths. Their bodies must have lain
in the tunnel for at least six hours be-
fore being discovered.
Acting upon the request OF repre-
sentatives of many cities and towns OF

Robert Wilson, logger, who was ia
ken to Wallace some time ago suffer
ing from a fractured skull, caused by
being struck on the head by log, ha:
been transferred to the asylum at Orc
| fino for further medical treatment
The case is peculiar. For two weeks
following the accident Wilson was un
conscious and his death was momen
tarily expected. When he came to, h
had lost his reason and speech and h
| has remained in that condition 10
practically three weeks. 1t is nov
thought that by a course Of treatmen
he will eventually regain his facu
ties.

EXPECTS UNFAIR TRADE WAR.
Secy. Redfield Urges Congress to Start
Now in Framing Legislation.

Washington.-Leg to protect
the industrial and commercial markets
of the United States from destructive
type of struggle and unfair competi-
ton" at the close of the European war
was recommended to congress by Sec
Rotary Redfield in his annual report.
Every strategem of industrial war, he
says, will be used by powerful foreign
agencies against American industries,
which may menace large markets
heretofore controlled abroad.
To prevent unfair competition the
secretary suggested that the maehin-
cry of the departments of justice and
treasury be used and that congress
supplement existing laws to give the
federal government adequate means
to protect American markets.

"LA BOR HOLDS KEY
TO OUR VICTORY"
British Unions Must Allow wore o-
skilled Workers"-NoW Needed,
100000 Workers.

L,ondon.-David Lloyd-George, min
lister of munitions, gave an account OF
his stewardship in the house OF COM
mons Monday night. Beginning Win
the story of the insufficiency OF NUM-
lions in the early days OF the war and
the history OF the establishment OF his
department to remedy this SITUATION,
the minister gradually warmed to his
subject and reached the climax with
the declaration that the success OF the
allies in the war depends on the atti-
tude of organized labor-whether 1t
will allow the government to recruit
a sufficient number of skilled men for
the factoriee which the munitions de-
partment has brought into being.
eve want 10000 skilled men and
from 100000 to 100000 unskilled men
for these new factories" he said. we
mus it reduce the proportion OF our or
ders which go abroad and develop our
home resources. Upon the supply OF
labor depends, think, our success In
this war. Upon this depends whether
we can reduce the cost OF the war Dy
scores of millions of pounds. Upon this
depends whether we can supply our
troops with the right sort OF guns and
ena BILE them to make next years cam
paign success.
4 Here only organized labor can help
| us. We have done our best to get
skilled labor by the system OF NUM-
lions volunteers. 1t is no use OF my
going into the question of why we got
only 5000 or 5000 men, although that
story may have to be told later.
'The whole question depends on or
ganized labor. Unless it allows us to
| put unskilled workers on the work
which hitherto has been the monopoly
of skilled labor, we can not perform
| this task There can be only one ap-
peal, namely, to patriotism. Victory
depends on this. Hundreds of thous,
ands of precious lives depend on la.

ing to bring the war to an end in a

Der 10, when 10 ships, three from the
Atlantic end and seven from the Pa
cific end, made the passage.
Exceptional progress, aided by good
weather conditions, made during the

neers and dredgemen to upset the pre-
diction that the canal would not again
be opened to traffic before next spring.
Providing that no further earth slides

Turks Did Not Know of

London.-The announcement of the
British withdrawal from Gallipoli over
Swallowed all other war news Tuesday.
For the British public the abrupt war
office statement marks the end of a
great chapter of the wars history.
The shock of the enws was hardly
broken b ythe fact that rumors had
been current in the street for some
days and the withdrawal of the forces
had been a matter of widespread pro
and con discussion ever since Lord
Ribbesdale's famous speech in parlia-
ment in which he declared that the
withdrawal had been recommended by
high military authority.
Brings Feeling Of Relief.
The feeling of the man in the street
was generally one of relief mixed with
regret. A popular half-penny paper
sums up the British public's attitude
as follows:
"Thus ends the enterprise on which
the highest hopes were built and
which, if it had succeeded, would prob
ably have turned the tide of the war.
Our troops from the first to the last
were within a few miles of victory"
The policy underlying the Darda-
nelles expedition may yet be carried
to a successful issue in some other
quarter of the near east, but the pros
pect of forcing way to CONSTANT
nople through the famous straits is ap
parently relinquished.
British Keep Seddul Bahr.
British troops continue to occupy
the tip of the peninsula at Seddul Bahr
commanding the entrance to the
straits, where many British have de
clared new Gibraltar will some day
rise. The position there is protected
by double line of ships and it is as
sumed this will be held.
The war office statement leaves thI
public to draw it's own conclusions al

must be we'll over 100000 strong. 1t Il

any southwark sweep Of the Teutoni

The worlds wheat crop for 1915 Is
returned by the department of agri-
culture at 1898, 125, 900 bushels, a gain
of 100000 900 bushels over 1914. Over
one-half of this increase, or 2s6,00o,-
900 bushels, is in the United States
and Canada, however, while the in
crease in all Europe Is but 100000
900 bushels, with an actual loss, ex-
eept in Russia and the Balkans, from
which there are practically no export
facilities. The statistical showing Ger.
tainly tends to discourage expecta.
tions of high priced wheat, yet the
distribution of the surplus makes the
most advantageous conditions posi-
BILE for disposing of our wheat In the
markets which we regularly supply.
