legislation on the subject in cur
history, He has been at work
while his critics have been rail-
ing at him and trying to belt-
tie him for political effect.
In part the criticism of the
president is on the charge he
has been too vigorous for pre-
paredneSS; in part on the
ground he has not done enough.
The criticism neutralizeS itself.
The situation itself is proof the
president is right. His is the
sane middle ground; it is what
the country needs. There is no
occasion for converting our
whole nation into one mighty
gun barrel; it would be equally
foolish to overlook the fact our
defenSeS need improving.
The campaign against VIII
son on the preparedness issue
is doomed to failure. 1t will
not appeal to the common sense
of the American people to turn
against a man who is doing the
very work his detractors failed
to do when they were in pow
er, just because those detrac-
tors want to see him ouSted.
The fight against Wilson is
based not on patriotism but on
partisanship and partisanship
does not furnish a worthy rea-
son for asSailing president
when he is successfully meet
ing his duty in trying times
like these.

THEY FIGHT FOR PARTI.
SONSHIP; NOT FOR THE
NATION

IA ARTISAN critics yearn-
~ ing for the trough of po-
U litical control sneer al
President Wilson on the ground
that at heart he is for peace
and does not believe in mill
tarism excepting to the extent
it is necessary for national
safety.
If the Wilson desire for
peace is a blemish in his char
acter the same fault existed in
Lincoln. No man abhorred
war more than did the martyr
ed president. He did not want
the civil war to occur and all
through the struggle longed
for the return Of peace. The
stories of Lincoln's humanity
are so numerous as to leave nc
doubt as to this point.
But Lincoln did his duty as
he found it. So is President
Wilson doing his duty, with
steadfastness and resolution
Finding the world at war and
our country unprepared after
almost 80 years Of republican
rule and seven years of ROose-
veltism he set about to correct
the situation.

speaking trip through the mid

METHODISTS FOR EQUAL
SUFFRAGE

IT. HE Methodist Episcopal
" church, by a vote of its
general conference, has
formally approved of equal
suffrage rights in the state for
men and women. The reSolu-
ton was introduced by one of
the leading iurists of the coun-
try, formerly of the Yale law
school. 1t was indorsed by
many of the clerical and lay
leaders of the denomination. 1t
was voted upon with surpris-
ingly little open dissent, and
the number of votes recorded
agent it was less than ten.
The grounds of the indorse-
ment are interesting to note
and to reflect upon. Everying
in denominational history has
shown the equal loyalty of wo-
men and men to the obligations
Of membership and to the du-
ties of suffrage as ecclesiasti-
caIly exercised. As a matter of
expediency, christian wives
and mothers should be given an
opportunity to assist in the
great work of introducing into
politics more of the true spirit
of practical Christianity; that
is to say, society needs the de-
cisions that will follow the CIV
ing of the ballot to women with
high ideals and pure motives.
Simply as an affair of justice
and righteousness, equality of
the sexes must be recognized,
il the denomination is to be
true to its past as a sect believ-
ing in those fundamental quail
ities of a sound society. Thus
the argument Of the resolution
runs; and it is noteworthy for
its simplicity, conferences and
trust in fair play.
Persons who recall the strug-
gle for equality of rights with
in the denomination which
Frances E. Willard so gallantly
led in the '80s, and who know
how comparatively new a
thing it is for woman to be
equal with man in the churches
that call John Wesley their
founder, will be most surprised
by the vote at the Saratoga
conference.
As there is nothing formally
and legally binding upon the
rank and file of clergy and
laity by the passing of such a
resolution, it would be risky to
. assume that the large numeri-
cal strength of this sect can
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-06-03

forthwith be counted upon by
the equal SuffragiStS. But
there is significance in the
swift, unimpeded enactment of
such a resolution by a legisla-
tive and judicial tribunal of a
powerful denomination. and
one that counts for much at
seats of political power

SINKING IN A SOLID
MASS OF IRON PvRITES

Superintendent John S o'Brien of
the Custer Peak Mining company was
in the city yesterday. coming for the
purpose of sending some needed sup
plies out to the camp. He says that
the work of lowering the main shaft
is progressing satisfactorily, and that
the big flow of water that was en-
countered a few weeks ago and
which to a great extent had interfer-
red with rapid sinking, has in a
great measure, ceased and that the
work is going on unhampered by II.
There is at the present time very lit
tie water coming into the shaft and
that IL is being easily taken care of.
The shaft is going down through a
solid mass OF iron pyrites, which
carry good gold values, as well as
other minerals. The gentlemen from
Pittsburgh, who were here recently
for the purpose of examining the
property in the interest of the east
ern people who have become inter
ested In IT, left the Hills greatly
pleased with conditions at the mine,
and especially with the showing OF
copper ore which was made In a
drift from the 100-foot level of the
shaft. While the full extent of the
vein carrying this copper ore is as
yet undetermined. every indication
points TO the fact that il is an ex-
tensive one, and that il will prove to
be one OF the richest copper deposits
in the west Some OF the ore carries
as high 40 IA per cent metallic cop
per and when II is considered that
ore earring from i 1-2 to 3 per cent
is being mined and treated else
where at enormous profit. il can be
readily seen that the Custer Peak
win develop into one of the best cop
per propositions in the west
II ia understood that there win
shortely be started work looking to
the erection OF treatment plant on
the ground, and that plans for one
have already been drawn up. Il is
known that the parties who are IN
terested in the proposition with Air.
O'Brien will not spare capital to give
II the development that 1t reHuires,
or TO build plant TO treat its ores,
and that they have unlimited means
at their command to carry out any
scheme OF Improvement or develop
ment that the superintendent may
suggest and the management ap-
prove Of. Mr.. O'Brien is more than
pleased with the way things are
shaping themselves at the ground,
and believes that this winters work

HE COULD NOT STAY
AWAY FROM THE HILLS

Several weeks ago DR.. c. A. Cook,
who formerly had been a practicing
dentist at Belle Fourche, arrived in
the Hills for q visit to old scenes and
with old friends He had been locat-
ed in Winlock Wash. where he was
enjoying a lucrative practice, but aft
er being in Belle Fourche for a week
or so, concluded TO give up his offices
in Winlock and move back TO the
Hills Yesterday he left on the Burl-
ing for the Washington town, where
he will assist his wife in packing up
their household goods and start as
soon as possible for Belle Fourche,
where he will again open up Offices.
He says that Winlock is a pretty ano
thriving town, but that its pros
poets cannot compare with those of
Relic Fourche, and that after re-
Imaining a while among his old friends
in the latter city, his longing for the
Hills was so strong that he resolved
to make them again his home. He
says that he will lose no time to
bring his wife and baby back to
Belle FouTche and again set up
housekeeping there.

FORTY YEARS IN pEApwoOp

NJ. J. Werthheimer closed his bust

Philadelphia where his family have
resided for number OF years and
where he has spent much of his time.
large number of friends were at
the train TO bid him good bye and
God speed
Mr.. Werthheimcr came to Dead
wood from Cheyenne little over
forty years ago, at that time mere
boy, bringing with him small
amount of capital but plenty of in
dustry and integrity. He soon took
the lead in the dry goods business
of the camp and maintained it as
long as he remained here. He went
through the fire and the flood with
credit unimpaired. He attended
strictly to his own BUSINESS, never
meddling with the affairs of others or
criticising their methods. While he
is retiring and modest, he Is an In
teresting and congenial companion to
those whom he gave his confidence.
For forty years he was a liberal pa
tron of the Pioneer and the Times.
and during the whole of that period
there has not been an unpleasant
word or incident. Here's hoping
that he may live long and enjoy the
fruits of his industry.
