In proposig to reduce the salary Of
the governor, Mr.. Alexander evidently
thought that he was giving an object
lesson that could not fail to impress
the people with his unselfish sincerity
In the FIRST place the legislature is
powerless TO change the salary of the
governor during the term he is now
serving, and in the second place the
man of Mr.. Alexanders wealth. The
prolonged efforts he has made to Sc
cure the office indicate that he would
gladly hold the position without any
salary and probably pay bonus for
the privilege. In this case at least his
move to save money for the taxpayers
is a sham. But even if he made the re-
commentator in good faith, any
thoughtful man who has a decent re-
CAD for the dignity of the state knows
that $4,000 year is not too much for
the chief executive; it should be more
rather than less. To reduce the salary
as proposed by Mr.. Alexander would
mean that no man Of moderate means
could afford to run for governor of the
state. Already the man of moderate
means Is at great disadvantage as
an asprant for the office, and to re-
duce the salary to point based upon
bare living expenses would have the
effect of giving men of great wealth
like Governor Alexander monopoly
of the office,

kind Of economy that the people want.
Long before Hepburn park was Gre
ated 1t was a popular playground for
the people of north Idaho, and IL was
in order to perpetuate II as such, to
have the state exercise control over IL
in the interest of all the people, and to
make improvements that would add TO
the pleasure of those who visited II,
that Senator Hepburn secured the
passage of a bin by congress giving the
land to the state of Idaho. Until the
advert Of this modern Moses, the park
of the state and every administration
since the park was created has recon-
mended hts Improvement, superintend-
ents have always been appointed and
we believe appropriations have been
made for its improvement II there
has been objection to the slight ex-
penditure necessary to pay the super
intendent we have never heard Of it.
On the other hand, the people general
ly recognize that the maintenance of
public parks of this description is a
real advantage to the state, not alone
in the pleasure they afford our own
people, hut also as means Of attract
ing people from neighboring states
Moses seems to be economy mad
and for that reason a protest would
probably avail nothing; but it should
be made just the same so that the rec
ord will show that some of the people
at least are not afflicted with the same
mania

WHY HE WAS PARDoNED.
Senator Stone Relates an Incident Of
Experience While Governor.


If veracity be synonymous with hon
esty, that person for whom the eccen-
trio Greek philosopher, Diogenes, I'M
availingly searched was discovered in
the Missouri state penitentiary by
United States Senator William Joel
Stone years ago, according to an ex-
perience he related recently.
Seated in a circle Of cronies in a
Washington hotel lobby Monday the
senior Missouri senator, his hat tilted
over one eye, a reminiscent smile on
his face, told the story in that sibillant
tone with which he is won't to invite
confidence and conviction.
when l was governor Of Missouri"
he said, in commenting on the use of
the pardoning power by Governor Cole
Blease of South Carolina, Il received
hundreds of letters from criminals in
the state penitentiary, every one pro-
testing he was innocent. l decided to
visit this institution where every one
was honest.
THE first man to whom talked was
serving a two-year sentence for horse
stealing. I asked him IL he stole the
horse. He replied that ne did
i asked him If he was guilty and
his sentence had been just. He replied
in the affirmative. Then | said to him:

this place and contamin lte so many
innocent souls. l will notify the war
den that you are pardoned'"

GOVERNOR ALEXANDER AND
ECONOMY.

No one win take issue with Governor
Alexander upon the question Of econ
omy in the administration of govern
ment, and in advocating it the gov
ernor can claim no credit for original
ity since It has been earnestly urged
by all his predecessors and win con-
tinue to be urged by those who follow
him. Should the legislature carry out
the recommendation embodied In his
yoluminous message there Is no doubt
that the state and county governments
would be placed on a basis OF economy,
but they would also be in a condition
of inefficiency such as would call forth
protest far greater than that which
now demands economy. In other
words, the people want economy, but
they do not want 1t at the expense of
efficiency and good service. Because
he made extravagant and generally
impractical promises in the campaign.
Governor Alexander seems to think
the people took them seriously and
that they actually want them carried
out according to schedule. AS a mat

PROBABLY A TYPE LOUISE.
ogden Examiner.

Ogden Examiner.
A woman printer got $4,000 dam
ages in Chicago court on the
grounds that she contracted lead
poisoning through handling type. The
Judgment was rendered against the
International Harvester company,
which has apparently become the goat
for any one who wants to rush into
court with wild charges. That con-
Germ thinks so well of printers ink
that it operates a plant of it's own.
While the case was being tried more
that fifty printers testified that they
had never heard of lead poisoning
resulting from work in print shop,
If the case QegaD was sifted to the
bottom, it would probably be shown
that the lady was really bitten by a
type louise, which is really danger
Gus and venonous animal. Had the
counsel for the defense proceeded on
this theory the verdict might have
been different. Apprentice printers
are frequently annoyed by type lice,
but like great many other inconven-
fences around a print shop, as one
grows older and the ink crust hardens,
the danger of serious injury from
these animals decreases.
1t is easy to see, however, that
woman printer, who insists on snow
white towels and toilet water, would
become an easy prey to the mysterious
pests. The case should have a re-
hearing.

THE MINING OUTLOOK.

That there IS to be wonderful re-
yiyal In mining activity throughout the
west, which will include practically all
mineral products, Is now conceded by
all who have given serious thought to
the situation, but when It will begin
involves a question upon which there
is a wide diversity Of opinion, Some
there are who profess to believe that
the domestic demand for the metals
viii soon show marked increase, due
Ia the restored business confidence as
a result of legislation by congress
since the present administration came
into power. This opinion, however, Is
attributed more to desire to back the
Wilson administration rather than to
conviction that any pronounced i'm
provement will follow the tryout of its
policies.

permanent revival can be reasonably
expected until the end of the European
war which will restore the markets for
the products of the mines of this eoun-
try as well as that for many other pro-
duets which consume the metals in
their manufacture In the meantime
the manufacturers Of the United States
are seeking new markets for American
goods In many Of those countries which
have heretofore been supplied by the
countries Of Europe. 1t is probable.
particularly II the European war Is
long drawn out, that permanent trade
relations win be established with those
countries But in any event the efforts
that are now being made to extend
American trade win undoubtedly exert
a beneficial effect upon the mining in
dustry by enlarging the list of metal
consumers to be supplied by the mines
OF this country
Regardless of the duration of war, II
would seem that new markets for AM
erican products would soon exercise
a beneficial influence upon the metal
market The belief prevails that the
present year will see the end of the
war, and there Is hardly a product Of
the mines of the United States that
will not come into strong demand dur
ing the period of reconstruction In Eu-
rope, the rebuilding of towns and cities
and the reestablishment of manufac-
turing and other Industrial enterprises
destroyed by the war Under these
conditions the outlook for the mining
industry is exceedingly bright; in fact
indications point to higher prices for
the metals than have ever been known
before, due to the new markets for
American made goods and to the re
opening of the markets of Europe and
the unprecedented demand that is sure

INCREASE The STANDING ARMY.
Armv and Navy journal.

Army and Navy Journal
In a recent editorial in the n. Y
Evening Post appears the following
statement. Zone of these political
facts is that the country, in time of
peace, there can be no large standing
army without CONSUMPTION; and as Mr.
Taft declared, any party that puts
that thing on the statute books will
become as much of memory as the
progressive party" Perhaps the Post
1t is that is proposing large standing
army in the United States Certainly
no one connected with the present
military establishment Of the United
States. Major Gen. w. w Wother-
spoon, our late Chief Of Staff, who is
best entitled to speak for the army
on this subject, in his annual report
lasks for a regular force Of 2O5,O
men. He proposes to enlist these men
for three years in the Army and to
transfer annually those who have
completed their three years term to
a reserve, in which they will serve five
years. This will give in the fifth year
a reserve of 293.5 men. This added
to the force of 100000 with the colors,
lwill give a total Of 498.000 trained men
serving as nucleus for a larger force

garrisons for our foreign possessions,

llery and the men not connected with

would leave probably not more than

GUS fright that the elephant is said to

ter of fact. Governor Alexander was
elected In spite of his ridiculous cam
palgn promises, and while he probably
feels obligated to do his best toward
making his word good, 1t Is not to be
expected that any normally construct
ed legislative body would undertake
to embody his numerous fads into law
In order to vindicate his assertion THAI
he could save the taxpayers million
dollars during his term. Idaho Is
young state with small but rapidly
growing population 1t is capable Of
supporting large population and 1t IS
part Of the duty of state government
to offer inducements for people to
come here and make their homes, 70
invest their money and assist in utiliz-
ing the resources of the state. From
this standpoint II Is plain that the bur
den Of government must rest move
heavily upon the people now than 1t
will when the state becomes more
populous, and 1t would be poor econ
omy that would so curtail the ftme-
tlons of government to a point hat
would retard the settlement and de-
velopment of the state. That spams
to be the Alexander idea of economy,
but it will not be accepted by the peo-
iple of Idaho.

you NEVER CAN TELL.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
You never can tell when you send
word,
Like an arrow shot from bow
BY an archer blind be it cruel or kind,
Just where it may chance to 60
1t may pierce the breast of your dear
est friend,
Tipped with its poison or balm,
To a strangers heart in life's great
mart.
1t may carry its pain or its balm.
You never can tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing
seed,
Though the harvest you may not SEA
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil
You may not know, but the tree shall
grow,
With shelter for those who toll.
You never can tell what your thoughts
will do.
In bringing you hate or love-
For thoughts are things, and their airy
wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe
Each thing must create its kind
And they speed DER the track to bring
you back
Whatever went out from your mind.
