COMPLAINT AGAINST DR.. BRYAN
WAS NOT JUSTIFIED.

The Miner gladly publishes the fol-
lowing letter from DIR. E. A. Bryan,
chairman of the state defense council
There has been and is tendency
among Idaho officials to court publicity
through the press of Spokane while
ignoring the press of Idaho in matters
of public interest in which the people
OF the state are concerned. This tend
|ency was pointed out In the editorial
to which DR.. Bryan refers. His letter
seems to clear him of any blame in his
dealings with the Occur dAlene Press,
and we are pleased to place him right
with our readers:
Boise, IDAHO December p, 1917.
Editor of The Wallace Miner-My
attention has been called to your edi-
torial of December 18th In which you
say. III 1t is true as charged by the
Occur dAlene Press, that E. A. Bry-
IAN, commissioner of education and
chairman of the state council Of de-
Tense, refused to give the Occur
IdAlene paper the names of the men
he had decided upon to appoint to rep
resent the council, etc. and the an
swer Is that 1t is not true, even re-
motely.
Il enclose herewith copy of the let
ter written by me to the Editor of the
Press Immediately after / saw the
publication Of his article
"As matter Of fact, ! gave to the
reporter everything that / had up to
the hour when he called upon me, and
i left with Judge Ailshie a complete
list Of the ones finally selected upon
the recommendation Of the local com
mittee, and furthermore that list was
not given to the Spokane Chronicle
until the next day when 1t could not
appear earlier than II would appear in
the Press.
las chairman of the state council of
defense, ! am only too glad to give to
the press of Idaho any matter relative
to the important war work now before
us. Had the reporter of the Press
called upon Judge Ailshie, who was
that city, at any time during the next
day he could have had the list. /
would gladly have given 1t to him If
the list had been determined upon at
the hour when he called upon me. !
hope in justice you will correct any
misrepresentation which your readers
might have on this subject
Very truly yours,
.E. A. BRYAN,
chairman"

POOR MAN AND THE WAR AS
SEEN BY BARROW.
Chairman

| Clarence barrow, who is best re-
membered in Idaho as the defender of
| w. d. Haywood charged with the
murder of Ex-Governor Steunenberg
and who was subsequently chief coun-
isel for the McNamaras who were con-
victed of blowing up the Los Angeles
Times building, is rendering splendid
service in lining up labor organiza-
tons in support of the war measures
of the government In recent arti-
Gle issued by the American Alliance
for Labor and Democracy, Mr. barrow
points out the absurdity of the paci-
fist plea that this is rich mans war.
He says in part:
1.-The war won't cost the poor man a
cent. 1t may cost poor mems lives.
But more men will be killed in indus
try and by such diseases as tuberculo-
sis.
Inc Toll VIII be upon land and upon
capital.
Large parts of big incomes will be
taken. They are taking them now.
Labor has more to win than any
one else.
THE rich people have been giving
up much.
"They will come out poorer than
they went In.
THE rich man will pay nearly all
the cost of the war; because he is the
only man who has the money to pay.
Wall street never made Germany
violate Belgium. Wall street did not
tell Germany to sink the Lusitania.
Wall street did not bring on the sub
marine warfare.
Germany or America must win.
No workingman can afford to be
neutral!
Labor must say what side will have
it's full support"

GOOD IDAHO LAW.
anaconda Standard

tAHdcOnQa Stanqafd)
The large amount of commotion and
disturbance stirred up by the |. w. W.
in the past year makes it likely that
many western states. when their leg
islatures meet again, win enact law
patterned after the one passed by the
legislature of Idaho last winter. The
law Is known as the criminal syndi-
calism or sabotage law. Under it's
provisions it is not necessary that a
man be guilty of actual sabotage in
order to be convicted, but only that he
has advocated and advised sabotage.
The sentence imposed on conviction is
from to IA years.
That the law is effective is vouched
for by the fact that two prisoners are
now in the Idaho state penitentiary
under this law. Both are
l. w w. members. They went to the
mining district of the Occur d'Alenes
where the miners apparently were en-
rely satisfied, and made speeches ad-
,ocating strike and shutting down
# the mines. Both men were convict
d and are now serving sentence.

WHY LAFoLLETTE DID NOT VOTE
Duluth News Tribunel

LaFollette says he did not dodge the
vote on the Austria Hungary war res
oiution. He had gone to his office to
prepare in it's solitudes an amendment
declaring that the United States would
oppose any Acknowledgement of that
empire as result Of the war.
1t took solitude for his massive in
teilect to produce such soaring bit
OF craftsmanship. AS the consecrated
representative Of human liberty the
world over, as the Amounted savior OF
the peoples political and economic
right, as the one decreed by divine
right to watch over the under dogs
OF creation, and save them from their
masters, he must have had to wreste
as In a Gethsemane.
Austria Hungary stole Bosnia and
Herzegovina against the will of their
people. It holds within its tolls and
denies to them political and economic
rights, Bohemians, Slavs, Rumanians,
Poles and Italians. 1t rules them, not
m justice, but In tyranny.
They all demand release. They have
demanded this for years. They have
demanded popular equality and re-
'eived oppression. They are treated
Is interiors, as little better than
slaves. They have refused support OF
ne war. Their sympathies are open
y with the allies. Their leaders have
'een jailed and shot.
LaFollette would deny any rights to
hese people. He would hold them in
OPPRESSION, under despotic rule, denied
ven their language, and in state of
'erpetual but hopeless rebellion. In
is anxiety to serve his German mas
err ne has sacrificed the last atom of
aspect anyone can have had for him
ecause OF his past.

RAILROADS AND THE WAR.
New York Tribunel


1t is fortunate all around that the
problem of the railroads has become
clearly military problem. 1t was all
the time as much a military problem
as it was an economic one. But the
interstate commerce commission never
was able to see that. Congress was
never able to see it, either In fact. in
the state of mind in which congress.
has been for the last couple of decades
nothing could have gotten more on its
nerves than a suggestion that our
transportation system ought to be uni
fled, invigorated and fostered as 4
matter of rational military policy The
war has uncovered the folly of most Of
Washingtons pre-War conceptions.
Facing realities, the loudest former
advocates of sham regulation and
demagogic oppression are stricken
dumb. The object which the govern
ment now has in view in it's treatment
of the railroad problem is not to cater
to ancient granger prejudices, but to
win the war. If it is to develop our
transportation system to full military
efficiency, it must either lend the car
riers about $1,000,000,000, or, taking
over the roads, must spend that sum
on them directly out of the treasury.
If it merely assumes direction of the
transportation as a military expedient,
it can not avoid allowing the railroads
to make living-to earn dividends
at least up to per cent limit at which
congress has declared that excess pro-
fits for corporations begin.
