Red Cross Branch
Promptly Organized

Have you joined the Red Cross
branch organized in Idaho Springs
Monday night? If not, the op-
portunity is still open; and head
quarters are established temper
arily with Mrs. James Underhill.
1416 Miner street, who will issue
receipts for dues paid.
Monday nights meeting was an
extraordinary demonstration of
patriotism; for, in spite of weather
conditions, a we'll filed house
greeted H. NJ. Barrett who came
up from Denver to organize the
Red Cross work here.
E. M. Moscript presided, and
stated the business of the evening
in a few well-chosen sentences.
With Rev. Eitelgeorge to lead
them, the audience sang "Star
Spangled Banner" with more vim
than usual, but everyone should
make it his business to know all
the words of that inspiring song.
Mrs. Rogers played the accom-
paniment.
As a preface. Mr.. Barrett re-
ferred to the time when he was
one of the Denver high school
cadets who encamped here, re-
calling the stay and the weather
with warmth of feeling for Idaho
Springs.
He spoke Of the picture,
"Mothers of France, which had
just been presented, as such a
wonderful portrayal of war con-
ditions, and the need for Red Cross
work, as to render his address al
most superfuous. But he said
that the scenes Of the picture
would need to be multiplied, by
10000 to adequately depict war in
its real horrors.
Mr.. Barrett spoke of our obliga-
tions to the various nations with
whom we are now allied against
milftarism.
In Russia the people and their
representatives have long since
taken over the work and the hard
thinking of the government. The
monarchy could not hope to exist
long under such state Of affairs.
From Italy, one of our allies,
came the man who discovered our
country, as did also the man who
gave us our name.
England and America have not
always fought on the same side,
but even so, "blood is thicker
than water.
And to France we owe the great
debt incurred when on April "a,
1777, Lafayette landed with his
troops to help America in her
darkest hour. 1t was on the an

Mrs. Pike took her place as
presiding officer and asked that
everybody give of time or of money,
and that the society enjoy gen
erous amount of good will and
forbearance.
A count of the blanks applying
for membership showed that 125
people had signi6ed a desire to
aid in this fine form of patriotism.

Insurance Agents Need
Not Pay City License

City Attorney Macy has virtually
conceded to the insurance department
of the state that cities and towns can
longer collect from insurance agents
a license as has peen done heretofore.
The last legislature passed an insurance
code providing the collection of fees
by the state and also that these fees
should be in lieu of those collected by
the cities and towns. 1t had been gen
orally conceded the legislature had no
power to amend or repeal a city or
town charter or ordinance but the SUI
preme court in recent decisions has
taken the ground that while the consti-
tuition inhibits the amending or repeal
inc of ordinances or charters of cities
or towns, it may enact a general law
affecting all cities or towns alike. Mr..
Macy comedies this act of the legisla-
ture repeats any and all ordinaces con
corning the licensing of insurance
agents. A friendly suit has been
brought in Portland to test the law.

DR.. Carl |. DOney
and Professor Todd
Will Address League

A meeting Of the Business Mems
League of the Commercial club has
been called for Tuesday evening Of this
week. Besides the regular business,
addresses will be made by DR.. Carl
Gregg Doney, president of Willamette
University and John H. Todd, superin-
tendent Of the city schools. They will
express their views as to whether the
public schools and the University are
worth while to the business men and
take up the proposition as to whether
the business men would like to have the
High School Clarion and the William
cite Collegian discontinue publication,
Also as to whether ii was good business
for the business men to %patronize these
publications. AT a former meeting OF
the league it developed that some
thought the business man was being
imposed on when asked to advertise IN
the Clarion or Collegian. Mr.. Todd and
Mr.. Doney will take up the proposition
as to whether or not the University and
high school do not bring more families
TO the city than any other institutions
and therefore they are of more benefit
to the community and especially the
business men.

To Investigate Conditions
Of Copper Mining Camps

Globe, Ariz., Oct. S.-Here to inves-
tigate industrial conditions in the cop
per mining camps of the west and south
west, Secretary of Labor William B.
Wilson and the commission appointed
by the president are preparing today to
begin at once their inquiry.
"The commission comes here without
any preconceived ideas about labor con-
ditions in the metallurgical industry
said Wilson. ''The commission is not
so much concerned with the manner in
which employers and employees have
treated each other in the past as it is
in finding some workable arrangement
that will prevent stoppage of work in
the future, particularly during the war.
Industrial peace is what we seek, per-
manent if possible, but at any rate for
the period of the war; said Wilson.

LIBERTY
WILL Be FIRST MOVE.
That This Will Be Logical Out
come Of Russian Revolution
Now Seems Certain
(By j. W. T. Mason)
written for the United Press)

written for the United Press)
New York, Oct. 8.-The independence
of Finland will probably be the first
result of large constructive Importance
of the Russian revolution.
Events are now occurring in Finland
that indicate a determination on the
part of the inhabitants to establish full
sovereignty for themselves. If a formal
demand is made upon the Russian gov
eminent to recognize Finland Is freedom
the Kerensky cabinet would be com
PEELED to agree or would ~endanger the
consistency Of its own democratic pol
icies. If a minority and mot a majority
of the Firms desired separation from
Russia there would be ground for OBJ
lection at Petrograd, but not otherwise.
A neighborhood precedent for peace
full separation occurred in 1905 when
Sweden agreed to recognize the full in
dependence Of Norway. If the Firms
desire to become a sovereign nation,
there is no more reason why they should
be forced to continue linked to Russia
than there formerly was for a eontin-
uation of the Swedish-N Norwegian union.
Dissolution of all ties binding Finland
and Russia would not mean a defeat for
the Russian revolution, but rather a
victory, wholly consistent with the aims
for which the United States entered the
war. A harmonious agreement between
the Firms and the Russians leading to
the recognition of Finnish sovereignty,
might well give a strong impetus to the
movement for the freedom of small ma
tionalities elsewhere.
Finnish culture is not the same as
Russian and all but successful efforts
have several times been made to OBJ
tain nearly complete automny for Fin
land from the Russian czars.
The Petrograd absolutists at least
recognized in principle that Finland wat
entitled to self-government; and the
new democracy in Russia cannot repud'
late the logical extension of this prin'
ciple. =.
1t is not reasonable to believe an in
dependent Finland would be but the be
ginning Of Russian disintegration.
An Independent Poland would certain
w follow at the end Of the war, but
| elsewhere there is little vital impetus
behind the separatist movement.

Fire Alarm Installed
at State. HOuse--Legend
On Door Is Misleading

Secretary of State Oleott is having
n fire alarm installed in the state
bonse that is warranted to alarm al
within the building and perhaps some
across the street. In This connection II
NAV be mestioned that on the third
floor is the office of the state forester
and on his door is this legend, 'F1r
Hose inside, State Forester" rms
aronses some doubt as to just what IS
meant and also as to the propriety or
leeninp the fire hose inside the state
forester. 1t also suggests that with 2
fire alarm installed the fire hose snoulo
he nlaeed in some more available place
az the state forester might be away
yvnen the alarm was turned in. In con
versation with one of the state house
EMPLOYEES this morning he stated thai
the reporter placed the wrong eonstruc'
tiou on the statement on the state Tor,
~esteris door, and that it was a request
to fire discarded hosiery over h tran
som in case he was absent. However
II il submitted that the notice on the
door is capable of either constructor
and that one is as good at least as the
other.

TOBACCO FUND FOR
SOLDIERS IN France
IS GROWING STEADILY
Have You Sent In Your Con-
tributiOn to Comfort the
[, Bows In the Trenches?

"Plenty of smokes when they want
'em" is one good way to keep a regi-
ment of soldiers happy and contented
lat least so far as they can be really
happy in the trenches. They're buck
ing a hard game, no matter how you
figure it.
But tobacco is the big thing the
boys are asking for in their letters
home. There is plenty of French to-
bacco to be had-the kinky kind that
has a peppery disposition-but a real
American fellow can't seem to get
used to it. Ee wants the good old
brands he had at home.
And without them he isn't at his
best. That's all there's to it. 1t seems
as though nature has put the "mak-
in's of courage' into those smokes
that just hit the spot. .,.
The BOYS at the front are fighting
for democracy and for peace. You can
do your bit at home by sending them
their npipes of peace'-by sending
them a Tobacco Kit packed full OF
their kind and enough for a good
little while.
Twenty five cents out of your pocket
will provide a fat little kit full OF
about twice the amount of smokes you
actually pay for. That's the arrange
ment we we made for you. And inside
each kit you buy, is packed a return
postal card, stamped and addressed to
won. so that the man receiving it may
write you a message of thanks n q
word or two of news from the front.
