Alexander and few members OF his
cabinet" continue to fit from place
to place over the state under the pre-
tense Of enthusing the farmers to
raise larger and better crops, in
struct the women in home economies
and how to can. preserve and evapor-
ate fruits and vegetables, and incl
dentally, Of course, to let the news
leak that Moses Alexander Is can
didate for United States senator to
succeed Senator Borah. The enthus-
iastic reception that greets the flying
squadron" and particularly the gov
ernor, is duly chronicled daily In the
governors personal organ, the Capital
News, and the expense Is covered by
deficiency warrants on the state
treasury, payment of which is guar
anteed by the governor and which
we trust that a discriminating legis-
lature will see that he pays, or at
least that he does not saddle the ex-
pense on the state.
And why shouldn't he pay It? His
war and preparedness talk is merely
a blind to his real purpose to strength
en- his political fences preparatory to
entering the race for senator. Nothing
quite so raw has ever been attempted
even by Alexander, and that is put
ting 1t pretty strong when we recall
the stunts he successfully put over in
his campaigns for governor. And it
may be that the people will stand for
this one They reelected him gov
ernor after a continuous vaudeville
performance Of two years. and 1t can
not be denied that there is reason for
the governor to pin his faith to the
rule that what happens twice will
happen three times.
The flying squadron Is now re-
ported headed north Having edu-
Gated the farmers of the south on war
preparation, he will probably en-,
tighten the denizens of this benight-
ed region on the economies of min
ing with the view to conserving the
zinc and lead resources to insure an
amply supply for the manufacture of
of war, az becomes an as

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Governor Appoints Boise Attorney to
Fill Vacancy.

William Healey, Boise attorney,
was named Friday to a place on the
state educational board by the gov
ernor to succeed Walter 8. Bruce of
this city. who resigned June 1 follow
ing the resignation of DIR. e. @, Sis
son, state commissioner of education.
Healey Is democrat. Bruce was a
republican, says the Boise Statesman.
The new board member has been
identified with Idaho politics since
coming to Idaho seven years ago from
Iowa. He was member Of the
twelfth legislature from Owyhee
county. He was a candidate for the
legislature in the last general cleo
ton, but was defeated. Before COM
Ing to Boise Healy was prosecuting
attorney in Owyhee county.
In naming democrat to succeed
Bruce the governor has given. the
Bourbons control of the educational
board. since only Miss Ethel e. Red
Held and Evan Evans are republ-
ANS.

DON'T WAIT FOR THE DRAFT;
VOLUNTEER NOW.

The government is making special
effort to increase the regular army to
100000 men by June 30. which means
the enlistment OF 10000 men. The
regulars will without question be the
first on the firing line In France, the
backbone Of Pershing's army We
have heard much from men of mill
tary age who would gladly enlist If
there was certainty Of active SER
vice. Well. here is the certainty, for
Pershing Is now at the front waiting
for his men and they will soon be on
the way. The government. must keep
a considerable number of trained men
at home to help drill the half million
men who will soon be assembled at
various training camps so the regu-
lar recruits may rest assured that
they will be among the first to fight.
But IL you prefer some other branch
OF the service, the way is open. The
national guard Is being recruited up
to the maximum and is scheduled to
go to the front. The navy is calling for
men, and the marines, the soldiers of
the sea, offer a fine opportunity for
young men who want action. So
those who objected to CONSUMPTION
still have the opportunity to volun-
teer. Being registered is no bar to
enlistment, and there are thousands
of others who are not subject to the
draft under the conscription law, but
who are of military age and who
should respond to the cali of the
country in this emergency while the
great eonscripted army is in the maxi
ing. 1t was Mr.. Bryan who said in
one of his paciflst harangues that If
LIS call WAS maze IOf volunteers a
million men would spring to arms
over night. The call is being made
now. Where are the million men?
The spirit that should actuate
every citizen now was expressed by
Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay the
other day when the stars and stripes
and the Red Cross flag were raised
over his church. He said:
THE man who can't go to the
front should render other services.
Most Of all, there should be a shame
attached to the wealthy man who
dies. II any young man is in doubt
whether to fight or to do other work,
ct him give the army the benefit of
he doubt and fight. The rest of us /
hoald stand by in every possible |
way. That means to buy Liberty
'onds, to subscribe to the Red Cross
md so on.

PERsHlNG IN PARIS.
philadelphia Public Ledger)

philadelphia Public Ledger)
Joffre came to America and the
country rose to him. Pershing in
Paris is acclaimed as soldier of the
reticent, unconditional surrender all
summer type. He does not make the
mistake of ascribing to himself the
glory in which he is least interested
He knows full well that he Is accepted
as the epic figure of country which
has registered ten millions of men
and subscribed three billions of dol
lars to help in the war-our war
What he wants most of all is to get
down to busness-the business of Or
ganizing, forwarding, concentrating
toward the single visualized objective
of victory. A year ago Pershing sat
on a campstool in the quivering, hot
dust of Mexico with the cactus and
the prickly pear for shade trees; in
these days he stands by Napoleon's
tomb where kings have paid their
homage, and kisses the sword of the
Little Corporal before whom the world
trembled. 1t was replica of the WIS.,
II of Joffre to Washingtons tomb;
and the voice of the crowd accaiming
the fighting leader of America was
the echo of the multitude cheering
the hero of the Marine. The effect of
the demonstration is only to increase
the determination of our representa-
tives to do his Best for his country
and the cause she has made her own
on foreign soil. which is destined one
of these days to become more preci-
Gus to us when it is red with the blood
of MANY of our men, following the ex-
ample of the Americans who have al |
ready laid down their lives
The reception of Pershing By the
French people far transcends any pre-
cedent of cold. heartless official cere-
mony. 1t is an episode of statecraft;
i is the welcome of one sister repub-
nc, faithful unto death in her COM
mitted trust, to another who, by all
he ties of history and fealty to the
light, must help her hold aloft the
light Of the. world, the beacon of hu-
nan liberty.

COPPER.
Production and Value Of Output OF
American Smelters.

| rHGiiSdu 0U1cIIoTSs~
Government statistics show that
the smelter production of primary
copper in the United States during
1916 was 1928. 900, 900 pounds, eas COM
pared with 1,3SS,00O,OO0 in 1915, this
being an increase of 80 per cent-a
huge gain The difference in value is
even bigger, the two totals being
$474,2SS,000 and $242,9OO,O0O. Arizona
was easily first with an output of
694,S47.307 pounds and Montana sec
ond with 352,139,76S pounds. The
apparent consumption of copper in
this country during 1915 was 1,429,-
1926 pounds, as against 1,O43,461,-
sS2 pounds the year before, this be-
ing an increase Of 81 per cent. II to
the new refined copper is added the
secondary copper and that in alloys
produced during the year, 1t will be
found that total of over, 100000
600 pounds Of copper was available
for consumption.

RESPONSE OF SHoSHONE coUN.
~ TO RED CROSS CALL.

/ The magnificent contribution of the
people of Shoshone county to the Red
Cross fund Is matterasof pride and
gratifieation to every loyal citizen.
The call was made for $4,000 and the
response was in round figures $685.
O00 This Immediately following a
subscription Of over $1,OOo,OOO to Lib
erty loan bonds is a splendid testi-
monial to the loyal and patriotic spirit
that prevails here. The campaign for
the collection of the fund was organ
lied on thoroughly practical lines and
effectually covered every section of
the county, so that during the week
there were few citizens who were not
given the opportunity to contribute
to the fund. And be it said to the
credit Of the county that few indeed
refused to contribute through lack of
sympathy with the noble and patri-
ctic cause. To refuse support to the.
Red Cross is tantamount to refusing
support to the government itself, for
1t is an essential adjunct of the army
and navy and has been so officially
recognized. The president of the
United States is president Of the Red
Cross and as commander In chief of
the army and navy the Red Cross is
subject to his orders. To those who
through sympathy with the enemy,
md therefore unworthy to share the
benefits of American citizenship, and
who refused to contribute to the sup
bort Of the Red Cross for that reason
ne quote the words of President Will |
ION in his Flag day speech:
Woe to the man or group of men
hat seeks to stand in our way in this
lay of high resolution"

GERMAN MONEY AT BUTTE.
(Anaconda Standard)

/
Evidently the sentiment is growing
among the miners that the new union
organized under the auspices of the
l. w. w., will not do. Every day more
OF the old miners are getting back to
their old jobs and seem we'll pleased
to be back on the payroll once more.
They have lost several days of labor
and that is a serious matter when the
cost OF living does not go on strike
also but keeps on just the same every
day.
Those who expected that German
money would be distributed to them
in lieu of wages have been much dis
appointed. 1t is the general belief
that a good deal of German money
was appropriated for the purpose of
stirring up trouble in the mining
camps Of the west so that the pro-
auction of copper would be reduced
as much as possible. The fund APP
propriated for strike purposes in Butte
was probably a very large one, but
little of this money has reached the
miners and the most of them have
rad none Of 1t at all.

NEW GETTYSBURG SPEECH.
George Ade)


If Abraham Lincoln were alive, fac
ing this new crisis in the history OF
the country he loved so unselfishlv
what would be his plea to you, his
fellow citizen? He would make a new
speech at Gettysburg. He would say:
Seven score and one years ago our
fathers brought forth on this contin-
ient new nation conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. The most
arrogant military power ever organiz-
ed by craft and efficiency is trying to
XIII that proposition We are con-
fronted by the active hatred of a ma
ton conceived in oppression and dedi-
Gated to the proposition that might
makes right. Against the desperate
leaders of that nation we must fight a
great war to test whether our nation
or any other nation conceived in ill.,
erty can long endure. On the battIe-
helds of Europe are the graves of MIL
lions OF men who have given their
lives that freedom may survive. To
the peaceful homes of Europe have
come gaunt starvation and the death
}, innocents. The time has come for
men and women of America to carry
speedy help to the brave souls OF Bel |
rum, of France, of Great Britain.
COR they have been fighting our bat |
les. Let us now be dedicated to the
unfinished work so bravely advanced
" our fathers in 1875 and 1863. II is
or us to take increased devotion "a
ne cause for which they gave the last
nli measure of devotion. Let us now
ighly resolve that the men who died
t Valley Forge and Gettysburg and
n all the torn battlefields OF Belgium
nd France shall not have died in /;
ain; that the free nations of the |
ord, under God, shall have a new |
nth Of freedom; that government of {

an idea that has been accepted by the
government and which promises to be
of inestimable benefit in winning the
war with Germany. In the judgment
of General Cocktails, to whom had
been intrusted the construction of the
ships, il is a physical impossibility to
construct all the ships of wood In
time to make them effective in meet
ing the emergency and he therefore
proposes to build some of them of
STEEL 1t is not understood that Gen.
eral Goethals had any objection to
Wooden ships, it Is merely question
of getting ships in the service at the
earliest possible date. Clark and Eus-
tbs, of whom the public had never
heard until they evolved the wooden
ship idea, took issue with General
Goethals and insisted on swooden
ships, carrying their opposition to a
point that rendered them useless as
assistants and rendering it necessary
for General Goethals to dismiss them.
AS between the engineers and General
Goethals, the country will not hesf-
tate to sustain the latter. He has

absolute confidence in his ability to
carry out the great work he has un-
dertaken successfully. 1t is unfor-

SUGAR CONSUMPTION.
Denmark Leads the World While the
United STANDS Third.

! Sugar has long been recognized as
one of the cheapest and most health
tul foods that is used by the world
generally. Just now sugar is much
higher than for some years. The in
creased price is due IN part to the war
and the tact that the war has removed
Germany, one of the largest producers,
from the world market. Cuba, the
largest sugar producer IN the world.
has largely increased its Ouptut because
OF the advance in price. The bulk of
tue Cuban crop comes to this country.
AT the present rate OF increase 1t is
claimed this country Will be producing
Practically all the sugar needed in
spite of the increase III population.
Denmark consumes more sugar per
capita than any other nearly
95 pounds-while Eng land comes sec
ond with nearly 80 pounds. The
United States stands third with nearly
"a pounds. Italy is among the small

With the marked advance IN price,
improved machinery and the ever IN

commune to be made in sugar produc-
ton means that the world supply will
suiely be kept up to the demand.
With the close of the war the price OF
sugar will likely decline more than
most other tood products. One of the
strongest assurances ot an abundant
supply Is due TO the modern methods
employed lii refining.
