PRACTICAL AND HELPFUL WORK
or IDAHO SCHOOL OF MINES.

To the prospector, the miner and
men engaged in other lines of mining
activity, and who for various reasons
find 1t impractical to take thorough
technical course in mining school,
the mining department of the Idaho
university at Moscow offers a splen-
did opportunity for valuable instruc-
ton at a time Of the year when 1t will
least interfere with regular work. A
short course for prospectors and min
ers was introduced few years ago,
and the number who have taken ad-
vantage of IL has been most crafty
ing to the instructors In the mining
department and the increasing num-
Der Of pupils each year is the best ey-
idence of its practical benefits. The
list Of subjects included in the course
shows that 1t goes far beyond the
needs of the prospector and miner A
few of the subjects offered are stud
les in prospecting, assaying, mineral
ogy, mining geology, chemistry min
ing. ore dressing. gold and silver mill !
ing, placer mining. cyanide process, !
concentration OF ores and the flotation /
process. Instruction in these branches
is offered absolutely free, and the on
ly expense to those who take the
course Is the purchase of a few books
and supplies and living expenses The
course opens on January and closes
on February 2S.
The facilities offered by the mining
department of the university, both in
the matter of instructors and in equip
ment, are unexcelled in the northwest,
The instruction is thoroughly practi-
cal, and the instructors possess know
ledge gained both by experience in the
field and technical training In es-
tablishing this course the benefits of
the mining school aTe brought into
close touch with the mining industry
of the state and will be enabled to
make its influence more directly felt
in the development of the mining re-
sources of Idaho.

COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAIN
ING is COMING.

Voluntary military service is a fail
ure In so far as providing an adequate
condition of preparedness for war is
concerned. This has been thoroughly
demonstrated by the mobilization of
state troops on the Mexican border
Out Of a total of $4,000 state militia
troops on paper available for service.
the number actually assembled on the
line for duty was 110,957, and this
a month and hair after the call was
issued Many of the regiments re-
porting should be designated as raw
recruits rather than trained soldiers
They were not fitted by discipline and
equipment for effectively patrolling
the line, to say nothing Of the sterner
duties of actual warfare. In his an
nual report just made public Major
Hugh L. Scott chief of staff of the
army, devotes much space to pointing
out the failure of the volunteer system,
and says

NO WOMEN Need APPLY.
New Democratic Auditor Will Have No
Females on PAYROLL.


The legislature will be urged this
winter to enact a measure fixing a
uniform set of books for all county
offices in Idaho. Clarence Van Deusen,
state auditor-elect said Wednesday.
The new auditor has announced his
fntention to ask the attorney general
for an opinion relative to the duties
of county clerks, who. he says, as
county auditors ex-offiico, fail proper
ly to audit the books Of the offices in
their county governments, says the
Statesman.
Van Deusen insists that shortages
resulting through lax bookkeeping
methods exist in practically every
county of the state. He fixes the
shortage at close on to $1,000, 900.
The new auditor says he will make
clean sweep in the state auditors
'ffice when he assumes his new du-
les, replacing the deputies, clerks and
tenographers with men whom he has
Ilready chosen.
Van Deusen will employ no women. 4

Is indeed gratifying and reassuring
news. The people of Idaho having
twice elected Moses Alexander COVER

The government, thorugh the bureau
of mines, will establish three safety
and rescue stations next year The
purpose of these stations is to afford
Immediate relief and assistance in case
lot accidents in mines and also to give
instruction In first aid and relief work.
The large number of men employed in
the mines of this district should in
duce the location of one of these sta
tons here, and the matter should be
presented to the department in due
time before the locations are definitely
decided upon.

KNOCK Me When I'm Dead. !.
(chas. W. McLennan)

I've noticed when fellow dies, no
matter What he's been
A sanity chap or one whose life was
deeply stepped in sin
His friends forget the bitter words
they spoke but yesterday,
And find a multitude of pretty things
to say.
| fancy when l go to rest, some one
will bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly deed. long
buried out of sight.
But if it's all the same to you, just
give to me instead,
The bouquets while I'm living and the
knocking when I'm dead
Don't save your kisses to imprint upon
my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are
hurled upon me now.
Say just one kindly word to me, while
| mourn here alone,
And don't save all your eulogies to
carve upon a stone.
w udL uO care IL WHSH III uedu, the
Times, the Sun, Gazette
Give me writeup with a cut in
mourning border set
1t win not flatter me bit, no matter
what is said
SO kindly throw the bouquets now and
knock me when I'm dead.
1t may be fine when one is dead to
have the folks talk so,
To have the flowers come in loads
from relatives you know
1t may be nice to have these things
from those you leave behind,
But just so far as I'm concerned, |
really do not mind
I'm quite alive and we'll today, and
while | linger here,
Lend me helping hand at times; give
me word of cheer,
Just change the game little bit; just
kindly swap the decks,
For I'll be no judge of flowers, when
I've cashed in all my checks.

A STRONG PARTY SPIRIT WOULD
PREVENT ELECTION FRAUDS.

The assertion OF the Boise States.
man that there is widespread suspi-
cion Of election frauds throughout the
state, but that neither party is willing
to call for an investigation. leads the
Twin Falls News to make this COM
ment:
win the Statesman never under
stand that nine-tenths OF all the peo-
pie who compose either party are so
thoroughly sick and tired of the whole
proposition of party politics as to be
perfectly willing to let the result go
as it lays, irrespective of which side
won.",
The News ver-estimates the per-
centage of people who are sick and
tired of party politics." but 1t can not
be denied that non partisanship has
taken deep hold upon the people of
Idaho as well as those of other states.
And this we believe is the very thing
that made possible the wholesale ille-
gal voting to which the Statesman re-
fers, and which accounts for the in
difference of the people toward an In
vestigation Ii there had been an eff
fective organization Of the two politi-
cal parties there would have been a
close watch at the polls to prevent
fraudulent voting. The poll lists
would have been closely checked and
every man or woman who was suspi-
cioned of not being entitled to vote
would, have been challenged, making
1t necessary for the one so challenged
to prove his qualifications to the sat
isfaction of the election officers. That
was the way 1t was done in the old
days before the people began to rule;
when candidates for office represented
an organized party and the party or |
was back of them to see
that there was fair election. Ii with
Ill the safeguards taken there was .
suspicion that fraudulent votes had
'een cast, the party did not hesitate
