D. W. DAVIS, THE NEXT GOVERN
OR OF IDAHO.

The substantial majority given D.
| w. Davis, of American Falls, in the
Republican primary is significant of
the strength he viii develop in the
general election. His primary cam
lpaign evidently convinced the people
that he possesses those elements of
business capacity of which the state
stands in need, and that as governor
he will apply to the affairs of state
the system that has enabled him to
achieve great success in his private
business. Mr. Davis met the people OF
every county, told them his views on
the larger questions that vitality con-
Germ them and gave them definite in
formation as to how. he would deal
with them If elected governor. He
showed Enthusiastically that he had Civ
en- much study to the questions that
viii confront the governor, and that he
would bring to the office practical
experience and a temperament adapt
ed to close application to the duties of
the Office These were the character
istics of his campaign for the nominal
ton and 1t was these that impressed
the voters with his superior fitness for
the high position.
Mr. Davis will enter the campaign
for election with the support of a
united party. His opponents for the
nomination have accepted the result
in an admirable spirit, congratulated
him and pledged him their cordial sup
port This means that he will have
the support of all elements of the par
ty in all sections of the state. And
his support will not be limited to re-
publicans, although that will be suffi-
Client to insure his election. Many
democrats are weary of Alexander and
will refuse to cast their votes to re-
tain him in the state house for another
term. The candidacy of Mr.. Davis
will appeal to all voters who desire to
see the office of governor filled by
man of quiet dignity ripe business ex-
perience, and whose highest aim will
be to give the people of the state the
best possible service rather than be
perpetually posing before them and
INDUCING in promises that can not be

REPUBLICANS NOMINATED
STRONG COUNTY TICKET.

The republicans Of Shoshone county
have nominated ticket that is in all
respects deserving Of earnest support.
II is composed of men and women
who are exceptionally well qualified
for the positions to which they aspire
and whe can be depended upon II
elected to give their best efforts to
the service of the taxpayers of the
county. And the outlook for the cleo
ton of the entire ticket was never bet
ter than it Is this year. The people
give evidence of having had enough
Of democracy In county, state and ma
ton, and 1t Is only necessary for re-
publicans to get back of the candi-
dates with organized and energetic
efforts to insure complete victory at
the polls In November The campaign
this year Is one that should especially
enlist the active work of every repub-
lican, for republican success in the ma
ton can be won only by making the
local communities republican. 1t is
idle to assume that there is no politics
in county affairs. Without county
Organization there can be no effective
campaign in the state, and the state in
turn Is the unit of the national organ
lzation. For almost four years the
democrats have had control of the
general government and their record
of weakness, vaccilation and incom-
potency has been such that the welfare
Of the country demands that the con-
troll Of government must be wrested
from their hands. Every republican
should therefore make the contest his
personal fight and devote every energy
to electing the ticket in the county.
Success in the county is the basis for
state and national victory and by
electing the republican ticket the peo-
pie of the county are not only assured
or receiving capable and conscientious
services, but they will also be contrib
uting to the restoration of those great
policies of government for which the
republican party stands and which
mean permanent prosperity for all the
people all the time.

TWO BASIC INDUSTRIES.
mining World)

There are two basic industries
mining and agriculture. Both are me-
cessary to our present civilization.
Ages ago, when humans were little
better than animals, both mining and
agriculture had no existence. Men ate
fruits and the flesh of animals, birds
and fish caught and killed by their
hands or with clubs and stones But
as his intelligence increased man
learned to grow his own grains and
other vegetable foodstuffs He also
sought better means for cracking the
heads of his neighbors and for pre-
venting them from cracking his. He
found metals and found them well
suited to the fabrication of weapons,
so he dug ores from the ground and
smelted them in a crude sort of fash
ion. From these small beginnings the
present day agriculture and mining
have evolved. AS civilization spread
the demands on both industries grew
more numerous and their development
still continues. Agriculture must per-
sist as long as men inhabit the earth,
but what of mining? Can mining go
on forever, or will man in time COM
pletely exhaust the earth's store of
useful minerals?' When we stop to
consider the dependence of our present
civilization on coal, petroleum, metals
and the other mineral products we
wonder what is in store for far distant
future generations.

MAINE STARTS THE REPUBLICAN,
BALL ROLLING.

OF course democratic orators an
will undertake to show
that the election in Maine last Mon
day had no special significance so far
as the national administration is con-
cerned, but they can hardly make that
sort of talk win. The fact is that both
democrats and republicans made the
Pine Tree state the preliminary bat
tie field of the great campaign that is
now on, and both parties conceded that

democratic president and congress on
trial in Maine. The Importance Of
carrying Maine was indicated by the
presence in the state of almost every
member of the Wilson cabinet, also
Speaker Champ Clark and democratic
leaders in the senate. The republicans
attached equal Importance to carrying
the state. The republican candidate
for president Charles Evans Hughes
made several speeches in the state last
week and Colonel Roosevelt delivered
one or two addresses with telling eff
feet. Senator Borah and other republic
can orators of national fame were sent
to the state, and it was conceded on
both sides that the result of a contest
so bitterly fought would have q ire
mendous bearing in determining the
ton. Well, the result was more than
the most enthusiastic republican ex-
pected, The election was a complete
triumph for the republicans and must
be accepted as reputation of the
Wilson administration. 1t is the first
battle of the campaign and the sweep
ing republican victory has started
wave of republican enthusiasm over
the country which will gather strength
until November Z, when it will land
Charles Evans Hughes in the White
House and a republican majority in
both houses of congress AS goes
Maine, so goes the nation.

tai to carry its own research. This is
evidenced by the many recent changes
OF ownership. The Calumet & Arizona
spent thousands of dollars to develop
a process for the economical extraction
of the ores at Ajo, although the mine
at Ajo Is one of the Oldest in the
state.
Arizona literally abounds with
problems. Immense low grade depos-
its of copper are awaiting an econom-
ical method Of treatment The leach
ing of the carbonate ores of copper
will bring to the state many hundreds
OF thousands of doIlars, hitherto I'M
available The finding Of an economi-
cal separation system for the large
ore bodies of garnet associated with
copper will' cause some large produc-
ers to operate The utilization of the
smelter smoke In the manufacture of
sulphuric acid through finding %e
for the acid will relieve many farmers
as well as expand the mining business
profits.
Although the problem of separating
lead and zine sulphides has been partly
solved in other states, the methods of
solution are not available in Arizona,
and means must be devised other than
those which involve cheap power.
Metallurgical research on molybdenum
affords one of the states great prob
lens of its undeveloped resources. The
cyanldation of refractory ores is an
other difficulty but partly overcome"

HUGHES HITS HARD.
New York Mall)

! Mr. Hughes unconsciously revealed
the dominant trait in his character
when he declared in one of his
speeches early in the campaign that
when he was judge he was completely
a Judge, and now that he is a candi-
date he is completely a candidate.
The Hughes trait is thoroughness
He moves slowly but surely He
searches for the fact, and acts only OH
that. He is always on sure ground. No
one can drive him into a position he
can not defend There is no campaign
clap-trap about him. When Mr..
Hughes declared that the head of the
geodetic survey was horse doctor he
knew what he was talking about. Sec
rotary of Commerce Redfield, who had
appointed the horse doctor, lasted just
one round in the ring with Mr.. Hughes
on this subject. Hughes knew what he
was talking about; Redfield did not.
So it will be found as the campaign
develops, and when Mr.. Hughes be-
gins his work in the white House. He
will always be found standing ON the
facts in the case--not on theories and
not on partisan prejudice. He will be
master of the subject, whatever it may
be, at the time of decision---in full COM
mand Of every fact and figure. That
was his habit while governor at AL
bany and while justice at Washing
ton. 1t will be his habit as chief exec
utive of the nation. He will be com
pletely president. That is what the
country needs.

DEMOCRATIC REVENUE LAWS
FAVOR THE FOREIGNER.

The new revenue bill which was
evolved by the democratic caucus in
the senate with so much difficulty,
provides for tax of per cent upon
the net profit in the manufacture of
materials designed for use in the MAX
ing of war munitions; and for a fur
Their tax of 10 per cent upon the net
profit received from the manufacture
Of the munitions themselves. The ap-
plicatlon of these provisions in the
case of copper presents some interest
ing problems and some conclusions
which are no less interesting.
For instance, where shall one say
that the manufacture of copper de-
signed for use in war materials be-
gins. If it begins with the extraction
of the ore from the ground the mine
owner will have to be taxed for his
profit. So will the smelter and so will
the owner of the mill where the mates
are purified and transformed into bars
or plates or whatever form may be de-
sired.
Here, then will be two or three taxes
applied to the same lump of copper
before it is shipped to the factory
where the cartridges or fuses or other
actual munitions are produced. And
there the other taX-this time of 10
per cent-will be clapped on. All of
these taxes will be paid by the Ameri-
can manufacturer.
And yet, If this copper is shipped to
a foreign factory which is engaged in
making munitions, not one penny of
tax VII be extorted. Thus, the copper
miner and smelter of Montana and the
manufacturer of munitions in Connect
icut is being mulcted, while the fac
tory in Birmingham, England, or in
Toulon, France, is left scot-free.
1t is another case of the foreigner
first, as is almost always the case when
a democratic congress legisates in the
matter of taxation. Hughes and his
party believe in America first and Am
erica efficient Wilson and his party
believe in the foreigner first and the
foreigner freed from taxation.

Says a democratic editor: IF, as is
urged in the senate, a child labor law
is unconstitutional, we would better
abolish the constitution" But the on
ly senators who were arguing that a
child labor law is unconstitutional
were democrats. For more than 60
years democrats have been arguing
that protective tariff is unconstitu-
tional. They have made similar ar
gument as to tariff commission. Yet
they finally came around to the sup
port of protective tariff on dye
stuffs and on sugar, and now favor "a
tariff commission Moreover, several
who argued that a child labor law il
unconstitutional are now supporting it.,
on the eve of election. All you need in
order to educate a democrat on the
constitution is to put him up against
a popular election.

Time was when Woodrow Wilson
was vice president of the National Civ

before he became president of the
United States and began his raid on

Wilson will be again elected to office
In the league after the fourth of next
March, though he will then have am.

DEAL BETWEEN OWNERS.
Court Decides an Interesting Point
Concerning Mining Property.


Although it is general rule of law
that, in negotiating with each other
for sale of their interests, an owner
of an interest in mining property
owes a duty to his associate not to
conceal any material fact bearing on
the value Of the property which both
as coowners are equally entitled to
know, the Arizona supreme court
holds that one who decided his inter-
est in mining property was not en-
Titled to rescind the conveyance mere
y because the latter concealed the re-
suit of development work that in
erased the speculative value of the
property where such work disclosed
no new or different condition from
those already known to the conveying

DIVIDENDS AND WAGES.
Mining and Scientific Press)

TI'TIb "EIu bOIoHtTIIC I IV""I
Recently we commented on the Cal
umet & Hecla semi-centenary. The
president, Rodolphe L. Agassiz, has
given some interesting figures to the
Boston News Bureau regarding so
years of operation. The copper out
put was 2.6S6.SS6,OOO pounds, equal to
1,S4S,44S tons, Dividends amounted to
$1S2,25O,OOO. The most significant fea-
ture-and one that might be profitably
noted by the Western Federation Of
Miners now the International Union Of
Miners, Mill and Smelter Men, is the
amount paid in wages, namely. $129,-
230, 93S, nearly equal to the dividends.

Might of the roaring boiler,
Force of the engines thrust,
Strength of the sweating toiler,
Greatly in these we trust,
But back of them stands the schemer,
The Thinker who drives things thru,
Back of the job--the Dreamer
Who's making the dream come true.

Back of the motors humming,
Back of the bells that sing,
Back of the hammers drumming,

There Is the Eye which scans them
Watching through stress and strail
There is the Mind which plans them

The drudge may fret and tinker

But back of him stands the Thinker,
The clear-eyed man who knows;
For into each pillow or saber,
Each piece and part and whole,
Must go the brains of labor,
Which gives the work soul.

Europe's War Mortgage.

Three Of the FIVE leading nations at war have
voted credits or concluded loans to finance their
campaigns during the last three months of the
year. Germany and France recently closed the
last OF their loans for 1916 Last week the British
Parliament voted the thirteenth war credit, which
will carry the financial end Of the British cam
paign to the new year. These operations furnish
official figures of the cost OF the war in money
from August, 1914 to January, 1917, twenty-nine
months. Figures Of like authority are not avail
able from Russia and Austro-Hungary. Esti-
mates OF their loans up to August last published
in New York financial papers appear reasonable
compared with the known cost to Great Britain,
France and Germany. These estimates, together
with the official figures Of loans, and the pre-war
debts Of the FIVE nations measure the size OF the
mortgage the old world is executing with the
blood of its sons:

Kennedy for Senator

Ord Quiz: John L. Kennedy is conducting
his campaign on high, dignified and scholarly
plane and winning friends and votes wherever
he goes. He is just the type Of man Nebraska
needs in the United States senate.
Pierce Call: The republican nominee for
United States senator from Nebraska this fall
is big man. He is too square and fair in his
dealing with his fellow men to ever attempt to
punish the men who opposed him politically in
his campaign John L. Kennedy is one of those
earnest, honest and conscientious men who have
helped to make Nebraska what 1t is today.
David City Banner: II John L. Kennedy is
sent to the United States senate this fall he will
represent Nebraska, not the southern states. He
will not be found in any secret causes which will
compel him to apologize to his people, but on
the contrary will be found open and above board
in his acts. John L. Kennedy is man, and that
is what we want to represent US in the senate.
vote for John L. Kennedy means vote for
Nebraska's best interests.
Central City Republican, The strongly con-
firmative reports from all over the state indi-
Gates the certainty that the sane, temperate and
able campaign conducted by John L. Kennedy
is telling all along the line, and that the cause
OF republicanism in the state is on the rise. He
is a positive force added to the ticket that
strengthens it in its entirety from the highest
candidate to the lowest. He has alrady won
recognition in Washington, and throughout the
nation. He is Of type that places him III the
front rank and his faithful devotion to his work
is sure to bring his reward.

Military Training in Universities.

Sixteen Of the big schools Of the United
States have arranged to come under the pro-
visions Of the new military law and to furnish
training in military science to their student
Bodies. This does not include merely training in
drill tactics and company maneuvers as now af-
forded by the cadet organizations that exist at
such institutions as the University of Nebraska.
but means the addition to the curriculum Of the
universities and colleges taking up the work of a
course in military sciences sufficiently compre-
hensve and thorough to properly fit the student
for duty as junior officer in the army. 1t is
estimated by the general staff that reserve force
Of $4,000 trained officers is needed to take charge
Of the volunteer army that must be had for ma
tionai defense. This reserve will be acquired by
the work OF the great schools OF the country sup
pementing the output Of West Point,
While this move is in the right direction, and
as far as can be gone under the existing law, it
does not entirely meet the great problem of ma
tional defense, which properly .contempates uni
versai military training. Under any condition,
the educated officer is an imperative necessity,
and II he can be supplied through the extension
Of the work Of existing schools, that phase of
the problem is moved nearer to solution. II in
wolves no abandonment Of the American ideal OF
peace, but it does mean better realization of the
difficulty under which peace may be maintained.
