 4nything to say why sentence of death should not be passed on him, the pris- oner entered into long conversation with the two Russian interpreters, ana 1t was some time before he could be made to understand that it was the court of last appeal and that anything further would have to be done by the governor general in council. He was finally made to understand, however but said he had nothing to say. The judge then passed sentence, after going over the case, and set the day of exc cution for Friday, March 10, 1916. In ] letter the prisoner wrote Frank Leslie two days. he said he was sat- isfled to die, but though he should be shot. He asked, after being sentenced, that he be taken to Vancouver and there shot as he would like that bet ter than being put to death in White horse.

The notorious l. w. W. is making

sabi range in Minnesota. The initials

trial Workers of the World" and I'M
officially, Il Won't Work." In Min
nesota, agitators from Chicago found
support from only a small minority.
Fooled in an attempt to call a strike,
the disturbers threatened the life and
property of the miners, forcing them
to stop work, 1t is charged that they
intimidated, through the wife or 9TH
er women of a household, that the
husband or brother would be killed,
or that the dwelling would be burned,
unless the men Of the family stopped
work. Rather than live In a state of
terror, many families quietly left the
district and found employment else
where. This constitutes neither a
strike nor a lockout; IT Is plain ter
rorism. AS the Iron River Reporter
eXclaims: Think of It! In these
United States of America, where men
claim the greatest freedom of any ma
ton on earth, few professional agi-
tators may invade a peaceful COM
and drive workingmen from
heir tell and homes" An interest
ng sidelight was thrown on the Me-
'abi strike when particular agitator
rom Chicago communicated to the
nine managers that IL they wanted

nothing new. The worker has ever
'een the victim of irresponsible an
rchists, for that describes the man
hat disregards all the laws govern

WHAT HETTY GREEN MISSED.
(San Francisco Bulletin)

No, Hetty Green was not the veal
thiest woman. She merely had the
most money. There are great many
women who wouldn't sell their youth,
or their prettiness, or the noisiest,
kickingest baby alive, or even a hus-
band, for all that Hetty Green had.
1t is often said by people with money
that no one would envy the rich if
it was generally known what they
had to endure.
Most rich people belle the saying
by riding in expensive motor cars,
wearing strange clothes, living in
great houses, employing hordes of SER
wants and acting as though they real
ly believed there was something un-
usually fine about them. But Hetty
Green made no such pretensions. Be-
ing enormously rich, in the money
sense, she was sincere enough to be,
or at least, appear, unhappy. The
natural impulse was to be sorry for
Hetty Green. Some day, perhaps, we
will be sorry for all rich people, and
then 1t will be just a few steps until
we arrive at the millennium.

REAL PATRIOTISM OF RIPoN.
Chicago Evening Postl

NCHlcdBo evening FOSl)
Ripon, Wis, is a long way from the
possible firing line should an enemy
fleet land an army on our coast. 1t
has little to fear from our friends
across the Canadian frontier. Inter
est in preparedness, so far as Ripon
is concerned, is the disinterested in
terest of a broad horizoned patrio-
tism. That is why what Ripon has
just done stands out In bold relief as
big thing.
In. the appropriation measures,
slice of pork was tied up in neat lit
tie package for Ripon. The Wiscon-
sin city was promised a new federal
building at cost of $4,000. Ripon
boasts less than 5000 inhabitants, but
it is natty little town, with just
pride in its appearance, and new
federal building would be a crafty
ing addition to it's other edifces.
Ripon has declined the pork, and
at it's request a bill has been introduce
ed in congress to Inappropriate the
$4,000 for the use of the much-neg-
lected army aviation service. All
honor to Ripon. The town lives up to
its traditions. Sixty-two years ago,
on the last day of February, there
met in the Congregational church of
Ripon the first assembly Of American
citizens to demand a new political
party in opposition to the extension
OF slavery. 1t was called by whig,
a democrat and a free soiler. Less
than a month later the local commit
tees of the whig and free soilers were
dissolved and plans were made that,
In harmony with other like move
ments throughout the northern states,
led to the organization of the repub-
hcan party.
The patriot stock of Ripon has not
degenerated. The little town is doing
its 'bit" for America with unselfislf
spirit and rebuking pork patriotism In
the most effective manner. A fine
thing would be an organization of an
ti-pork towns, with Ripon leading in a
of self-denying economy
for national defense.

Judge Bulge, of the Idaho supreme
court, favors adding two more JUS
tees to the supreme bench, according
to a statement credited to him by the
News Miner of HALEY last week. The
judge stated that there are now 1856
cases on the docket awaiting consid-
Grafton, and that there has not been
a time in many years when the court
was really up with it's work. The at
titude of Judge Bulge on this ques-
tion viii be approved generally. The
delay in getting decisions Is the most
serious objection to court procedure
in Idaho. The justices are not to
blame. They are expected to give due
elaboration to all questions before
rendering an opinion, and this in it's
very nature requires much time. The
court is now overworked, as pointed
out by Judge Bulge, and the interests
Of litigants require that the number
of justices should be increased from
three to five.

ment station in giving the combined
institution an efficiency that could
hardly be excelled.
If Idaho can not get the station,
then by all means 1t should be l1cat-
ed In Montana. Idaho and Montana
are essentially mining states and the
great industry that has been develop
ed within their borders is the thing
that has forced the government to
recognize the necessity of establish
ing an experimental station in the
northwest. II a location for an agri-
cultural experimental station was be-
ing sought, the representatives of the
government would hardly give con-
sideration to applications from min
ing sections to secure its location. BY
the same rule the location of min
ing experimental station should not
be considered outside a mining state.

GENERAL WOOD TALKS TO THE
TEACHERS ON PREPAREDNESS.

The meeting of the national asso-
citation of public school teachers re-
Gently held In New York adopted a
resolution In favor of military pre-
paredness and advocated beginning
the military training In the public
schools. This action was not taken
until after distinguished advocates of
both sides OF the question had been
given a hearing. William Jennings
Bryan made his usual peace-at ANY
price appeal, which included his ride
ulous assertion that In case of ne
cessity "a million men would spring
to arms between sunrise and sunset"
His oratory lost Its force, however, in
the presence OF the cold facts stated
by General Leonard Wood. who fol-
lowed him. Here are a few of the
things the general gave the teachers
to think about and they are good for
the rest of us to bear In mind also:
"One of the things you should
teach and you don't teach, Is that the
Individual has an obligation to the
state, and that 1t isn't only the state
that has an obligation to him."
I'VE have altogether too much of
the Fourth of July style of oratory,
all too much of the type of men who
speak Of a million springing to arms
between sunrise and sunset. We have
been sitting up nights for three weeks
to see 10000 men spring, and 1t is
very heavy spring"
You can search the histories you
teach, and you will find no instances
where the officers of the army and the
navy got you into war. Our business
is to get you out of the wars you get
us into"
"All the presidents have advocated
The more they have
seen of war. the more they have coun-
seled peace and favored prepared
ness"
IF you have in your institutions
anything worth defending, remember
that words do not defend these
things"
Numbers are not strength. No
wolf was ever frightened by a flock
Of sheep. He may have been puzzled
4 moment to decide which was the
latest one, nothing more"
I'VE want to have impressed ON the
children's minds realization of the
fact that they owe everything to the
History Is too specifically taught
here. How many of our children leave
school with a knowledge of the fact
that we have never fought a war
without aid, when we have engag-
ed a first class power?"

WHO ARE THE HEAVY DRINKERS.
(Bisbee Reviewl


The bachelor, it appears, has been
slandered. He is not a distinctively
bibulous creature. A bulletin issued
by the New York health board de-
clares that, after careful investiga-
ton, the board has been driven to the
conclusion that married men drink
more than single men.
Why this should be so the bulletin
makes no attempt to explain, A bar
room philosopher, however, is noted
as suggesting that 1t isn't necessarily
because marriage drives men to drink.
It's because when a married man
drops into saloon for a bracer he
doesn't drink 1t and depart in a mat
ter-of-fact. business like way, as a
single man does-he fingers and keeps
on drinking, because he's afraid to 20
home.
The board upsets another tradition
regarding liquor consumption. 1t isn't
the men who have leisure and plenty
Of cash in their pockets who drink
most, says the bulletin. Men who
work long hours spend more time in
saloons than men who have shorter
hours, and as wages increase the ex-
penditure for liquor declines.

Custom Shelters and Small
Mines" is the title of an interesting
and instructive article on another
page of this issue of The Miner. It
explains in detail charges and deduc-
tons made by smelters In handling
ore shipments and contains much in
formation of value particularly to the
small shippers who are not as a rule
well versed in the complicated terms
that go to make up a contract with
the smelter The smelling companies
are credited with an honest purpose,
but there are so many conditions i'm
posed which involve extra charges or
deductions from the time the ore
reaches the smelter until 1t is refined
and ready for the market, that 1t is
essential that a shipper should be
well posted in order to get the most
favorable returns on his ore The ar
ticle referred to is well written and
throws much interesting light on a
subject of first Importance to a man
who has ore to ship.

SOME SPOKANE ARGUMENT FOR
EXPERIMENTAL STATION.

Here Is a sample of the stuff Spo-
kane is sending to Secretary Lane as
an argument in favor OF locating the
mining experimental station in that
city. This gem was contained In q
telegram TO the secretary from w.
w. Tolman: Chemical laboratories
available at University OF Idaho and
Washington State College. both close
to this city. while University of Mon
tana is not far distant" Ex-senator
George Turner did full justice to the
Inland Empire spirit in the following
choice paragraph contained in his
message to the secretary: by rea-
son of It's extensive rail connections,
Spokane now is the center of mining
operations in Idaho, Washington,
Montana and British Columbia"
Chemical laboratories at universities
$50 and zoo miles away. Truly Spo-
kane has been forced to resort to far
fetched arguments to back up her
claims for the station. And the show
ing made by Judge Turner is of the
same class. Certainly British Column
bia mines are not to be considered in
the establishment of an experimental
station on this side of the line, and
the mining operations of Washington
are so limited by comparison that they
are not matter of first Importance
in connection with the location of the
station. With these eliminated, the
contention of Judge Turner is that
Spokane is the center of mining OPP
erations in Idaho and Montana" 1t
has heretofore been a popular i'm
preston that Butte is a mining CEN
ter of some Importance and has been
regarded as the center of mining op-
erations in Montana, and that Wal.
lace held a somewhat similar position
in Idaho. But it now appears that
this is wrong. The real center of the
mining operations, mark the words.
