SENATE PASSES MEASURE
FOR ARMY OF A MILLION
peace Strength Of Regular Establish
ments Is Placed at 100000
Men,

WASHINGTON, d. C., April 10
- army reorganization bill that
would produce regular army and re-
serve military forces in the United
states aggregating 100000 men was
passed by the Senate last night at
65 o'clock without a record vote.
II is a substitute for the Hay bill
nassed by the House and the differ
enees will be worked out in confer
ence.
On the eve Of a joint session of the
houses of Congress to bear message
from the President on grave interna-
tional issues. the Senate fastened
completion of the bill amid scenes of
excitement repeatedly rejecting all
amendments pending to reduce the
proposed strengthening of the army.
As the bill passed it carried provi-
sions for increasing the regular army
to 100000 men, the coast artillery to
9f.748 men and provided for military
training in certain schools and COL
leges. The bill also will compel re-
spect for the uniform of the army
and navy, as il provides punishment
for. common carriers, theatres. res
taurants and all persons and corpora
tions found guilty of discriminating
against those who wear the national
uniform.

EVILS COUNTY TO BUILD
MILES OF BRICK ROAD

The county court of Lewis county,
en- April oath, will award a contract
for 2.54 miles of 16-fo0t road, approx
mating 24,750 square yards Of brick
paving.
An interesting feature of this moves
ment is that the regular session of the
legislature of 1915 authorized the
county court of Lewis county TO lay
a special levy, not to exceed twenty
five cents on each one hundred dol
lars valuation of all the property in
Lewis county, to permanently inn
prove the four pixies leading out of
Weston two of which are the Staun-
ton and Parkersburg, one theSWeston
and Cauley Bridge turnpike, and the
iother known as the Weston and
Clarksburg turnpike.
AS Weston is near the center of the
state. and these roads running east,
west, north and south, the letting of
this contract can be well classified as
the hub of the road movement in West
Virginia.

ly prepared plans and specifications

of Merit This Afternoon.
tTorringtOn. Conn Register.)
la Tena's Circus arrived here this
morning and gave this afternoon an
unusually good performance at Treat
lot. The circus consists of three rings
and several sideshows The exhibit
ton of wild animals was of special
merit. In fact. the circus features
its wild animals. The performance
of these animals was inside a large
steel cage. Another feature of great
interest was Captain Wesleys troupe
of trained seals, which appeared for
a year at the London Hippodrome.
The most exciting act was that Of
Nile. Eugenie's troupe OF seven per-
forming lions
Other features were Walter Allen
and the famous herd of Downie ele-
plants. Herman Griggs and Olga
Reid, eyuestrians; the Powell family
of five wire artists, Captain Wilson
and his riding tiger, Memo. There
were Is acts in all. The circus has
three bands and calliope and eight
tents. For circus of its size it is
of high quality and thoroughly en-.
joyable for old and young. The YER
dict of those who attended this after.
moons performance was that it was
superior in great many respects to
Wheeler Brothers Circus. which
was here last Saturday. This after
Moons performance began at 2
o'clock
The performance this evening Will
begin at O'Clock, and it is expected
that the large attendance of this af-

WOULD BE PARTY SUICIDE.
est. Louis Times)

Signs and portents politically point
to movement that may nominate
Theodore Roosevelt at Chicago as the
republican candidate. His lieutenants
are active, and it may be that a psy-
Geological moment will find the other
leaders at loggerheads and Mr. Roose-
welt in the saddle.
The nomination of Roosevelt would
be party suicide. He wrecked the re-
publican organization four years ago.
He is entitled to no consideration from
national republicans. If, however, he
should prove to be the stronger gen.
eral he may get enough of the forces
together to capture the flag and again
head the G. O. P. army.
In that event, a rump convention of
regulars" would this year do what the
rump convention Of "irregulars" did
four years ago-nominate a third par
ty candidate.
Missouri will not support Roosevelt
on election day. His nomination will
insure the election of state demo-
cratic ticket at time when the dem
ocrats are completely demoralized. His
nomination will give the electoral vote
to the democrat for president.
We hope that the state republicans
are alive to situation where strong,
resolute leadership is needed to turn
the countrys affairs into the hands of
a capable man.
AS between Roosevelt and Wilson,
the choice of the people would prob
ably lie with Wilson but the choice of
the thinking men of America lies away
from either of these leaders.

DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT TO
ITS CITIZENS.

The attempt of the peace lat any
price advocates to force action through
congress warning all citizens against
embarking on belligerent ships armed
| for defense and forbidding the issu-
ance of passports to citizens who pro-
pose to travel on such ships has serv-
ed a useful purpose in drawing out
fine expressions of real Americanism
from men prominent in public life and
from the press of the country, and
these have met such a spontaneous re-
spouse of approval from the great mass
of the people that those who would
have forced the government into
position of weakness and cowardice
have become less active in advocating
their reasonable demands. Among the
many patriotic expressions drawn out
during the recent submarine crisis in
support of firm and unyielding pol
icy that would protect American citi-
zens in their rights of travel on bell
igerent ships, none we think summed
up the whole situation and defined the
duty Of this government so thorough
ly as did Senator Sutherland, of Utah,
in his speech in the senate on March
Z. A liberal extract from the senator's
speech will be found on another page
of The Miner. The pure Americanism
to which he gives expression carries
one back to the time of the Revolu-
ton and the dark days of the Civil
war, when patriotic and heroic men
were fighting for their rights without
counting the cost and who were ham
pered and beset by tories, pacfists
compromisers and copperheads SEN
ator Sutherland's speech and many
others show that the spirit that then
drove the enemies of the country to
cover still lives, and that while all
honorable means must be exhausted to
avert war, yet war is preferable to the
of those rights of citizen
ship which are guaranteed by all self
governments.

business ON very modest income to
spend the remaining three or four
years of his life in comparative COM
fort.
The men who have done things and
accumulated riches were never con-
tent as an established policy, to accept
per cent on their surplus funds; nor
would they consider 10 per cent par
ticularly attractive. They preferred
to invest in new enterprises that had
an apparent chance of ultimately de-
veloping into something big. There
are plenty of cases on record where
such investments have netted any
where from 100 per cent up to some
thousands per cent profit. This has
been especially true in the purchasing

in companies exploiting new and val

Shrewd investors do not buy shares

vestigate, then deliberate, and finally
use discrimination backed by judy
ment in deciding whether to invest or
not to invest. Once they arrive at a
conclusion they do not ask for advice
which almost always is of doubtful
value in financial matters-but go
ahead and back their own opinions to
the limit of their means.
The poor man will always remain
poor on per cent basis. To follow
the self-interested advice of the bank
er or bond dealer, and refuse to take a
chance in some undertaking that may
net 100 per cent and more per annum,
IS carrying the safety first" idea to
'oolish extreme. A man who lacks the
courage to at least try for financial in
and is content to plod
llong on the 4 per cent plan, will al
ways remain a plodder and miss many
golden opportunities.

SELL STOCK ON STATEMENT OF
FACTS.

A prominent eastern brokerage firm
which is doing big business in Coeul
d'Alene mining stocks, recently issued
a special circular urging the purchase
of a certain stock The property rep
resented by the issue was well de-
scribed and nothing was said that
could be construed as a misrepresenta-
ton until the firm began to indulge in
predictions as to the future of the
property, one of which was that 1t
would be earning dividends within
sixty or ninety days. When this cir
cular fell into the hands of the presi-
dent Of the company, who resides in
this city, he Immediately wrote the
eastern brokers a letter protesting
against putting out such misstate-
ments. An extract from the letter is
here given:
my attention has been called to
your special bulletin and / am writing
you in respect to the conclusions at
the bottom of the page of your cir
cular, which is, to say the least,
strongly erroneous.
I'VE have in our estimation. a suf-
hciently excellent property to stand on
the actual facts and conditions as they
exist, which are not as represented in
your conclusions, and we must of a
necessity protest against anything
emanating concerning the property
that is obviously misstatement.
you are sufficiently well versed in
the mining business to know that a
body of ore, such as described in your
bulletin, would make the value of.
....... shares around 81. and not
cents as you recommend.
Have the kindness therefore to dis
continue making such statements
about the property of the company in
combining yourself to actual
facts, which, in our estimation at least,
are sufficiently good to warrant the
shares to be recommended as an ex-
cellent speculation If not an invest
ment."
The attitude here taken by the pres
dent of this company correctly indi-
'ates the sentiment of the people of
his district in the matter of promot-
ng mining property. The facts are

DAYS AND THE IDAHO DEMoC-
RACY.

| In last Sundays issue of the Press
Times the Day daily, appeared an ex-
tended discussion of the recent meet
ing of the democratic state commit
tee which proved so disastrous to the
Days, taken from the Pocatello Chron-
icle, the purpose being to show the
people of this benighted section how
the people of south Idaho view the
downfall of the defenders of the peo-
Pile in their right to rule. 1t was
strikingly characteristic of the Day
organ. We have become accustomed
to read nauseating praise of the Days
through the columns of their own pa
per, and now we are to have it served
up from another paper which the pub
lie is not supposed to know also be-
longs to the Days. According to pub
lished reports which have not been
denied, the Pocatello Chronicle has re-
Gently been acquired by the Days and
an editor has been sent down from
Boise to begin educating the people of
the southeast on the pure and patri-
otto purposes of the Days, the great
service they have been to the state,
and how they have earned the graft
tude of the people who should reward
them by sending Harry or Jerry to the
United States senate to succeed Sena-
tor Borah OF course, the drubbing
they received in the state committee
is rather discouraging to them in car
rying out this ambitious program,
and if they could have foreseen the
outcome of the little bout in Boise,
they would probably not have taken
over the Pocatello sheet, for as
business enterprise it will probably be
on par with the Illuminating publ
cation that sounds their praises up
here.

MERRY ROW.
(Mountainhome Republican,


Political activity in Idaho seems to
have centered, for the present, in the
ranks Of the democratic party. Jerry
Day, the millionaire mining man of
Moscow, has aspirations to become
national committeeman, the position
now held by Robert H. Elder of Occur
dAlene. Day followers charge that
Elder has betrayed the people who
made him, that he does not represent
the party and that he has made many
bad guesses as to the wants and the
needs of the democracy of Idaho, as to
make his removal imperative to the
welfare of the party. On the other
hand it is strongly intimated that Mr..
Day is using his fortune to further his
political ambition, and in substantial
ton of this charge it is pointed out
that Mike Cunningham, formerly of
Boise, and one of the ablest newspa-
permen in Idaho, has been installed as
editor of the Pocatello Chronicle and
Is using that paper to further the in
terests Of Mr.. Days candidacy. The
light seems to be merry one and 1t Is
about the only interesting thing in
connection with state politics at this
time.
