GOSPEL OF WORK rs
NOW REINFORCED
indianapolis News


The Tippecanoe county council of
defense has set good example for
other counties by adopting a policy of
inducing every man to work during the
war period. West Virginia has given
evidence of the same spirit by seeking
through the agency of the state to
compel every abie-bodied man to work
at least thirty-six hours week In
many large cities the police have de-
clared war on the chronic vagrant, re-
curing him either to go to work or to
show why he cannot work The old plea
of no work will not suffice, for in most
cases it can be shown there is work for
all who will seek it,
This movement is a manifestation of
the spread of the belief that the war
must be carried on with as little dis
turbance as possible to regular bust
i.~1s. 1t is contended by many that
the reserve force of the country is suf-
ficient to take care of a large part of
the war burden. Idle land, idle men.
idle factories, idle money can, they be-
lieve, be set to work either directly
upon war projects or used to replace
resources called into the government
service. The idle man problem is only
one of several schemes for accelerating
the country's productiveness, but it is
the one with affects all parts of the
country alike, the idle man being ev-
erywhere.
No set rule regarding a mans ability
to work can be made. Although APP
pearing strong, he may in reality be
physically unfit for most kinds of work
and unable to find work for which he
is fitted He may be unable to risk his
chances by accepting even temporary
employment in another line. The great
mass of village lcafers, barrel house
buns, are able to work, and a little oi
i. will be good for them. The fact tina
some idlers dress well and ride il

GOOD RESULTS FOLLOW MEET
ING OF MINING ASSOCIATION.

No more favorable time could have
been selected for holding the annual
meeting of the Idaho Mining associa-
ton. The legislature was in session
and there are a good many members
of that body who need to be educat-
ed on the Importance of mining and
the value of the industry to the state,
Then there are a great many people
from different parts of the state at
tracted to Boise while the legislature
Is in session, and these also had an
opportunity to get in touch with rem
resentatlve mining men and learn
something to their advantage regard
ing the extent of mining operations
The large number of delegates was in
itself impressive of the importance of
the industry, and 1T is evident from
the attention given to mining sub
jeets by Boise papers and other news
papers in the southern part of the
state that an unusual interest has
been created In mining. Plans are
being discussed having in view the
encouragement of mining enterprises
and there is evidence that the people
are beginning to grasp the fact that
the benefits of mining operations are
not limited to the districts in which
the mines are located, and that their
quickening Influence is felt in all parts
of the state.
The Idaho Mining association has
served a useful purpose, and it should
receive the support of all who are d.
rectly or indirectly interested in the
industry. The possibilities of future
development of the mining industry
in Idaho are so great that the field for
useful work by the association il
practically without limit, and each
succeeding year should witness a sub
stantial increase in it's membership.
Mining has been the greatest factor
in the prosperity of the state, and 1t
is within the power of the association
to make this fact more generally
realized and create a sentiment that
will foster the industry and encourage
its further expansion.

Gentlemen of the Jury: The best
friend a man has in this world may
turn against him and become his en-
envy. His son or daughter that he
has reared with loving care may prove
ungrateful Those who are nearest
and dearest to us, those whom we
trust with our happiness and our good
name, may become traitors TO their
faith The money that a man has he
may lose. 1t flies away from him per-
haps when he needs 1t most. A mans
reputation may be sacrificed in q mo-
ment of ill-considered action. The
people who are prone to fall on their
knees to do us honor when success is
with us may be the first to throw the
stone of malice when failure settles
its cloud upon our heads. The one
absolutely unselfish friend that man
can have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treacher-

the wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely If only he may be near

hand that has no food to offer; he
will lick the wounds and sores that
come in encounter with the roughness
of the world. He guards the sleep of
his pauper master as If he were a
prince. When all other friends de-
sert he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to pieces
he is as constant in his love as the
sun in it's journey through the heav-
ems. If fortune drives the master
forth as an outcast in the world,
frendless and homeless, the faithful
dog asks no higher privilege than that
of accompanying him to guard against
danger, to fight against his enemies;
and when the last scene of all comes

friends pursue their way, there by his
graveside will the noble dog be found,
his head between his paws, his eyes
sad, but open in alert watchfulness,
faithful and true even to death.

TIRED OF THE BOSSES.
Demand for New Party Based on the
Honor and Safety of Country.

To the Editor of The Miner:
Is it not about time that the honest
American citizens should wake up to
the fact that the troubles of the so-
called progressive party and the re-
publican party have been kept alive
by few bosses of each?
1t now seems to be the proper time
for all honest men and women to join
in a movement TO form new party in
conformity with the principles of our
martyred president, Abraham Lincoln,
and call that party by any appropriate
name. The people are tired of poll
ticians for revenue only, and surely
now are wishing for an honest change.
Let others start the ball rolling for
honest union of Lincoln sentiments.
Many people before the November
election believed Wilson honest if not
strong, and voted for him as an hon
est man, but how can weak man be
honest with SO many politicians for
evenue pulling at him?
We need a strong, honest man to
read the government. Let us get to-

OPERATIONS At MARSH
TOLD BY THE DIRECTORS

TO NORTH--R. j. WHITE TO
DIRECT THE WORK.

The directors of the Marsh Mines
Consolidated have issued a statement
to stockholders of the company which
outlines in considerable detail the
work accomplished by the new COM
| pany and plans that are now being
carried out. The mine has been un
watered down to the $50 level and
| from here crosscut will be run into
the O'Neil claim leased from the Fed
eral. This will be at depth of 1000
feet from the surface. Another cross
cut will extend north from the main
drift on the $50 to cut vein 100 feet
from and parallel to the Marsh ore
shoot. Continuing the statement says:
Should any new ore bodies result
from this development work the splen-
did facilities of the Marsh will enable
the company to commence mining this
ore almost Immediately.
There still remains blocked out in
the mine between the 700 and 900 foot
levels from 10000 to $4,000 tons of
commercial ore. This tonnage should
give very substantial revenue above
operating expenses.

The work of unwatering the shaft

haste until the 900-foot level is reach

company is assured that the present
pumping facilities are sufficient TO

before undertaking to sink the shaft
another unit will be added to the pres
