GOVERNMENT PROPOSES TT
DRAFT RESIDENT ALIENS.

The promptness with Which the Sc
nate passed the resolution reported by
Senator Porter J. McCumber of North
Dakota regarding the drafting of res
ident aliens should be taken as a
warning by citizens of the allies who
have sought refuge in the United
States from military service at home.
Mr.. McCumber's resolution requests
the president to enter into negotiation
with nations at war with Germany
and to secure, If possible, their per-
mission to draft their citizens in this
country in the same manner in which
'ur own people are drafted, 1t was
passed without word of objection
rom any senator, and doubtless will
'esult in the near future in compel
ing men who are enjoying the bene-
its of our institutions to assist in
heir protection.

MlDYEAR REVIEW OF MINING IN
WESTERN STATES.

The United States geological survey
is keeping pace with the demands
made upon 1t by the rapid extension
of the mining industry. or 1t may be
more nearly correct to say that the
progressive activity of the survey each
year becomes factor of greater i'm
portance to the mining industry, an
ticipating its needs and supplying in
formation covering the field of mining
in thorough and practical form. A
notable example of efficiency Of the
survey occurred the first Of this year,
when preliminary reports embodying
much statistical information and a
review Of mining operations during
1916 were issued within a few weeks
after the close Of the year. the mining
industry of each state being covered.
These early reports served a moss
useful purpose pending the publica-
ton of the complete reports later on
in the year.
Not satisfied with this improvement
in the service, the geological survey
this year has introduced the midyear
review, which covers operations in a
general way during the first six
months. giving an estimate of the pro-
duction as compared with the preced-
ing six months and analysing condi-
tons which have resulted in an in
crease or decrease as the case may be.
A report Is made for each state by n
field representative of the survey, and
a study of them will give a very de-
finite idea of mining conditions in the
state covered. The Miner is giving
considerable space to the publication
of these midyear reports. in order to
keep it's readers posted on mining in
other states as we'll as in Idaho.
The value of the work being per-
formed by the geological survey and
the bureau of mines as whole should
induce more liberal appropriations
from congress.

IF SOLDIERS COME TO THE
COEUR D'ALENES.

Vague reports are heard from vari-
Gus parts of the district to the effect
that there will be trouble If soldiers
are brought in" Why the presence
of United States troops should pro-
yoke such expressions of hostility
from any man who claims allegiance
to this country is beyond the compre-
hension Of any loyal citizen. If they
come 1t Is for the purpose of protect
ing people and property from depreda-
tons by enemies of the government.
There may be and probably Is differ
ence of opinion as to the necessity Of
bringing the soldiers here. but among
loyal and patriotic citizens there can
be no difference In their attitude to-
ward the men wearing the uniform Of
our country. They personify the flag,
its power and Justice, and are the de-
tenders of its honor. 1t Is impossible
to be loyal to the flag without being
equally loyal to its defenders. AT this
particular time when our army Is
about to take its place on the firing
line in France and our navy is brave
ly contesting with the treacherous
submarines; when a million men,
some of them our home boys, will soon
be wearing the uniform of the army
and hurriedly trained to fight the COM
mon enemy, the soldiers If they come
should receive royal welcome, show
ing that the patriotic spirit of the
people of the Occur d'Alenes appreci-
ate the service they are rendering and
honor them for It,
This fact should be borne in mind
No lawabiding citizen has anything
to fear from the soldiers of the Unit
cd States army. The man or men who
are talking about trouble If the SOL
diers come" are the men who will
make trouble If they don't come. They
are the ones who make the presence
of soldiers necessary But there will
be no trouble If they come. The men
who make such talk quickly change
their tone with the first appearance of
the uniform of Uncle Sam.

HOW DEMOCRATS PERPEruArE
PORK BARREL LEGISLATION.

| If bayons and creeks are not navig-
able in fact they can easily be made
so by legislation. Witness the amend
ment to the river and harbor bill in
serted at the instance of a democratic
senator from Arkansas. 1t reads as
follows: THAT Bayou Meto, in the
state of Arkansas, be, and the same is
hereby, declared to be navigable
stream within the meaning of the con,
stitution and laws of the Unite !
States" 1t is stated that the legisla-
ton Is necessary to enable people
living on the bayou to issue bonds for
the building of locks and dams to con.
troll flood waters. 1t looks innocent
enough, but wait until next year or the
year after. The people win have built
few dams, perhaps, and their gener-
Gus contributions will be held up to
congress in glowing terms. Congress
viii then be requested to assist the
good work with an appropriation to
equal, at least, the sum spent by the
people. Thus we see the birth of a
project" and every year thereafter
will appear items for "snagging," con
tinuing Improvement" removal of the
water hyacinth," etc, to enable a raft

MOSES AND THE SCHOOL FUND.
Boise Statesman.)

(Boise statesman
The governor, at his wits end to
find some fund that he can tap for
travelling expenses for his flying
squadron, has made the proposal that
the deficiency warrants issued for
these political flights shall be taken
up out Of the states school funds. The
state superintendent Of public instruc.
ton very properly opposes the scheme,
which is contrary to law.
II he Is baked in his new design
the governor intimates that he will
call special session Of the legislature
for the avowed purpose of appropriate
ing the $4,000 which he and the de-
mocratic officials of the state plan on
spending for junkets. So far the ex-
penses have amounted to about $500,
but as next years election draws near
err there will be more trips, Of course,
and they will be more costly.
There is no justification for these
alternatives--the illegal tapping Of the
money of the schools of the. state, or
the calling of a costly session of the
legislature Perhaps the governor
may think that his desire to CAM
paign at the expense of the taxpayers
of Idaho is excuse enough, but the
taxpayers will not agree with him
Even the leaders of the different fac
tons of the democratic party of the
state have served notice that they will
no longer condone these political trips
of the flying squadron, so long as
they are. made at the expense of the
state

HONOR THE DRAFTED MAN.
Chicago Tribune.)

(Chicago Tribune.)
The highest honor that can be con-
ferred upon a citizen is to be chosen
to defend his country.
This truth has been Obscured by
our use of the volunteer system paral-
lei with the compulsory system. A
comparison is inevitable between the
men who voluntarily have made the
great sacrifice and those who have
waited to be designated to serve I'M
der the new law. This is one of the
evil effects of the volunteer system as
we employ 1t. When we have estab-
|lished the system of universal service
we shall have no comparisons. All
who are called to service will enter on
the same terms.
But now we have the volunteer and
the drafted man. Let us not do in
justice to the latter because of the
former We all honor the volunteer.
He is of the flower of our nation. But
lit does not follow that the drafted
man is not of the same breed. There
are honorable considerations which
have held men back from volunteer
ing. There are duties at home as well
as abroad, and the conscientious citi-
zen, knowing that the draft was COM
ing, could honorably wait for its OPP
peration.
We honor the volunteer. Let us
honor the drafted man, and let the
drafted man honor himself. When he
receives the summons of the govern
ment, he is called to the performance
Of the noblest of all citizen duties. His
country has said to him. Il need you.
place my trust in you. l confde to
you my honor, my welfare and the
success of great cause"
The day in which man is drafted,
If it cannot be. day of rejoicing, at
least should be day of pride.
The new army raised by the draft
will be body of which any man may
be proud to be a member. 1t will be
made up of picked men. The senti-
mental opponents of CONSUMPTION have
covered the idea with the dust of
fallacies. They have tried to depict
the conscript as reluctant weakling
or a pacifist saint dragged brutally to
war. The conscript armies of France
and Germany give the lie to that.
For three years of the civil war the
armies of the north We're filled by the
draft and the armies of the south for
a longer period.
The new national army is the Gre
alton of free people giving effect to
their free will through free institu-
tions. 1t is the creation of law, like
the jury. and to serve in it is citizen
ship of the highest level.
The American conscript soldier is
going to fight by the side of the he
roic conscript of France-republican
soldiers both. fighting for democracy.
Together they will write a shining
page in the history of freedom.

For centuries the pumpkin has borne
the reputation of being the most sim

shade by its royal companion, it's ways
are ways of pleasantness and all it's
paths are peace. 1t demands no place

or publicity, 1t takes life coolly; in
deed, according to the poet, it comes
out at its strongest and best when the
frost is on it. And what a big and
bouncing boon 1t is to humanity. Its
bulk precludes its use as a hostile
missile; Its shell is valuable for Jack

1t is believed that the ore encoun-

Is the beginning of the main ore shoot,
the shoot that is indicated by the
groupings and which was explored for
several hundred feet in drifts from
the Oreano crosscut. The face of the
drift is now practically under the big
outcrop, and If the ore rakes to the
west, and 1t probably does, it may be
necessary to run considerable dis
lance further before getting into the
main body. The Sherman vein seems
to be great mineralized zone, possi-
bly, 200 feet in width, in which there
are shoots of ore of varying extent

RECRUIT PUPILS FOR THE HIGH
SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

DR., e. A. Bryan. commissioner of
education for Idaho. has addressed a
letter to the presidents of the higher
educational institutions and the sup
erintendents and principals of high
schools urging them to make special
and persistent efforts to fiji up the de-
pleted ranks of those institutions At
tention is called to the fact that the
army and navy have drawn away an
abnormal percentage of young men
who are seeking higher education,
young men who are patriotic, brave,
adventurous and imaginative, and
who readily volunteered in response to
the call of their country. The same
class Is furnishing it's proportion of
the draft. Under this condition, whe-
Their the war be short or long, the mo-
bilization of the youth in high schools
and colleges Is matter of the utmost
Importance. 1t is not enough to mo-
billie them in military training camps
or at the battle front. Modern war;
fare demands not only instruments of
offense and defense and fighting SOL
diers but a vast equipment for the
production and transportation of in |
Vulnerable commodities required in
war. The service of the chemist, the |
engineer, the agriculturalist and the
business manager is just as essential
as that of the soldier There was
need for such men before; now the
need is greater and imperative. As a
patriotic duty and as national SER
vice at the present moment young
men should seek preparation as never
before. In view. of the gravity of the
situation, DR.. Bryan suggests:
That campaign of education be h
started by all school authorities, set q
ting forth the importance of this form ;,
Of national mobilization. !,
That circulars be issued by presi- G
dents, superintendent and principals c
urging its Importance. y
That personal letters be written to
possible students and personal inter- n,
views be held directing and inspiring "
