GERMANY AND "sTARvATIoN."

When the starvation of Germany"
is spoken of in connection with the
blockade, the word starvation" is a
figure of speech When a nation Is
reduced to extremities by this kind OF
starvation" the last thing it suffers
from is actual loss of food. 1t begins
first to "starve" in the matter of mil
itary supplies; if it can hold out it
then starves for clothing and other
necessaries of life, and finally, II it
comes to that, for food. 1t Is quite
correct to say, as in this sense 1t Is
often said, that the southern confed-
eracy starved to death. Yet the peo-
pie of the south did not literally die
of hunger. The rolling stock Of its
railroads wore out first, and 1t could
not make up the deficiency 1t lost its
ships and was unable to build more.
Then. in the winter of 1854, General
Lee began to find himself unable to
clothe his men properly. The south
began to find itself short. of paper, OF
wool, of other necessaries. 1t was
short of food toward the end, but its
people did not die in the streets for
lack of it. Starvation was in that
case. as it Is in Germany's, a figure OF
speech: quite correct one in that OF
the south. The question is whether it
is correct in Germany's.
If Germany is suffering from lack of
wool to clothe her soldiers, from lack
of cotton to make high explosives,
from lack of copper, Of rubber. then
the blockade is starving" her. There
is no doubt that she is at least be-
ginning to suffer the lack of these
things. This is the kind of starvation
that is relied on to bring her to terms
If the blockade becomes so effective
that she can get no cotton, no wool
70 copper no rubber, at all, then Ger
many will be starved" to surrender
even though every family in the en-
pire has three meals a day. The
is most certainly effective in
fact; Germany is being starved and
the pressure Of that kind Of starva-
ton will increase, though bread and
meat and milk remain.
Germany now proposes to "starve"
England. She has perfect legal
right to DO it, just as England has
perfect legal right to "starve" her;
Just as she had perfect legal right
to starve Paris in 1870, in which case
she brought about not figurative
starvation but an actual famine of
food. But she has no right to kill
neutrals or destroy their property In
the course of that starving process.
That is the difference between her
blockade and England's, and it is the
reason why the United States pro-
tests--not at all against her starving
but against her slaughter OF
neutrals.

1t Is true now and always has been
true that the man who can offer
goods at the lowest price will get the
purchasers trade. Men who prate
about America first will buy pocket
knives that bear the imprint Made
in Germany" and women who buy
dress goods do not reject cloth because
IL is made in England by English la
Dor. II we hope to insure the home
market for home products we must
impose a protective tariff which will
represent at least the difference in
cost Of production here and in foreign
countries, so that the foreigner will
not be able to offer the goods here at
a figure less than the American pro-
ducer can afford to accept. So long
as the foreign producer can name the
lower price, he will sell the goods and
the American producer will lose trade
in corresponding degree.

WOULD BLEACH AMERICAN FLAG
(New York SUM

Washington dispatches report con-
certed efforts to commit the president
and congress to a policy of peace, no
matter what happens Form tele-
grams are used, or some one sends a
telegram and hundreds Of other per-
sons lend their names as indorsers
thereon. The influence of william
Jennings Bryan is seen. and the circu-
lars and advertisements of peace at
any pricers are perused. No voices
are heard. There are times when 1t
seems wisest to these people to work
partly under cover
We have yet to learn of similar
propaganda to rush the country head
long into war: but IL there were such
an effort we know what would be said
about it, The business would be char
acterized as monstrous.
Could it be more monstrous and in
human than the present effort to get
the president and congress to surren-
der American rights at sea and to
consent to the loss of any number of
American lives and the destruction Of
any amount of American property?
What could be so calculated to give
aid and comfort to a possible enemy
as that? What could be so treacher-
Gus to the American flag?

A VOICE FROM THE PALoUsE.
(Colfax, Wash. Gazette)

Northern Idaho is greatly exercised
about the proposed division of their
state and the creation Of new one
to be called Lincoln, with vague plans
for including eastern Washington in
the new state.
Forget 1t. Eastern Washington is
very comfortable at the present time
as a part Of the great state Of WASH
ington. Northern Idaho alone would
be poor excuse for a state. Would
congress take kindly to plan for
splitting state to make two addi-
tional senators from the far west?
Idaho people might better devote
their energies to building north and
south railroad to link the widely sep.
arated parts of their state.
The cry Of division, division" saw
ors too much of politics and child's
play. Why fan the flames Of discon-
tent and antagonism when spirit Of
cooperation might be fostered? The
good people of Idaho have a great
work before them IL they will but set
tie down to the task and forget their
petty differences.

TRADING IN NEW COUNTIES.
(Salmon City Recorder)

Eleven new counties in Idaho are
now in case of formation or carvation
out of the old counties Of the state.
Wherever few influential politicians
and townsite owners have a commun-
ity around them with town no big
ger than crossroads settlement
somewhere near the center, there you
have the makings Of new county.
Generally there are trades enough in
this sort of craftsmanship to pass any
old bill through the legislature. Here
Is the list Of proposed new counties
up to date:
Yellowstone and Clark counties
from Fremont county; Portneuf and
Bear River from Bannock; Butte and
Camas from Blaine, Jefferson and
Bingham; Bull from Twin Falls Pay
cite from Canyon; Nampa from Can
yon: Selway from Lewis and Idaho;
Valley from Boise and Idaho; Lake
from Bonner and Kootenai.

The better element is always in the
majority in every community and can
always control the situation If it de-
sires to do SO. When things get in
supportably bad and the people are
thoroughly aroused, how quickly are
desirable changes brought about! But
when the people seem to have dispos-

thus arouses them, they fall back in
to a state of indifference and let the
sinister influences have the field

Truly, eternal vigilance Is the price

Our blessed old republic was not
framed for laggards or towards, but
for brave men and women ever and al

ELlHU ROOT SAYS THE NATION
NEEDS MEN.

At recent banquet in New York.
given in honor of Charles Evans
Hughes, Elihu Root was one of the
speakers. Here is brief extract
from his speech. the sentiment Of
which will add strength to the convic-
ton of hundreds of thousands of vot-
ers that the man most needed by the
nation as it's official head Is the
speaker himself:
God knows, we need more men
now We need men whose trust is not
in words, in rhetoric, in fine phrases
or in noble expressions Of sentiment,
but men; genuine, sincere devoted;
men who do not talk so much about
their love of country or their passion
for liberty or humanity, as men who
do love their country and do love their
liberty so much that they are willing
to give liberty to others as well as
claim it for themselves; men who
think not merely of what they can get
out of their country, but what they can
give to their country; men who, upon
the basis of plain, practical and sem
sible hard work in the ordinary af-
fairs of life, carry every noble ideal
ism and sincere capacity for self
devotion"

Argentina is going to hand us an
other one in the shape of a levy of
export duties on certain of her COM
modties Wool, for instance export
ed from Argentina, is to pay an ex-
port duty of pesos per 100 kilos Ga
kilo equals about 90 pounds). We
imported about 14O,00O,O00 pounds of
wool from Argentina last year, and
100000 pounds the year before, and as
we placed wool on the free list we
realized no duty therefrom. But Ar
gentina takes dip out of us with her
export duty, which, of course will en-
nance the price of imported wool. A
p per cent ad valorem tax on que
bracho extract, a tanning material
which we import in large quantities
from Argentina, is another way Of in
creasing her revenues from our poci-
cts. This is the thanks we get for
giving the Wilson Underwood tariff
key to Argentina to stalk into the
American market and make herself at
home.

HEED THE CRY FOR HELP FROM
THE 6ELGIANs.

On another page of the Miner Is
statement from Herbert C. Hoover,
the American mining engineer, who
has become world famous as the head
of the Belgian relief commission. We
Americans may well feel proud of the
work he has accomplished and the I'M
stinted praise that is being bestowed
upon him by the nations of the world,
but we can not share his glory for we
have not given him the support he
deserves. which means that we have
not contributed to the relief of the
Belgians to an extent that is credit
able in comparison with the liberal
ity Of other nations, nor to the ex-
tent that entities us to the credit we
are receiving. The allied nations,
while fighting for their own existence,
are contributing millions every month
to feed the Belgians and other helpless
victims in northern France, while we
who are drawing untold wealth from
them in exchange for the munitions of
war. are doing so little toward allevi
ating the suffering that Mr. Hoover
can hardly conceal the shame he feels
in telling the story. He especially
appeals to Americans to provide the
funds that will insure one meal a day
to million and a half starving chill
dren, and he feels that there should
be a ready response to his appeal
Mining engineers are rallyng to the
support of Mr.. Hoover and every AM
erican should be touched with the ap-
peal he makes in behalf of the unfor-
tunate Belgians. We of the mining
districts who are profitting by the
vast consumption of metals in the
prosecution Of the war should come to
the rescue of the stricken people by
liberal contributions to their support
This is a real call for the relief of hu-
mainly. Make your contribution now
and continue making it every month
until it Is no longer needed.

the leasing bills now before congress,
bills which under the guise OF con-
servation Of natural resources would
practically deprive the states of the
benefit that would follow develop
