The proposal of the New York

many should meet the spontaneous
approval of all true Americans, and
congress should act now when the
gift would not only bring the material
relief so greatly needed, but would in
spire the French people at home and
in the trenches with renewed courage
and determination. 1t was Lafayette
and the French army that turned the
tide of the American Revolution and
gave us the independence we now en-
joy, and the memory of this should
move every American to render as
sistance to our sister republic in her
heroic struggle for existence. Con-
gress should authorize the issuance of
bonds for this vast sum as gift, not
a loan, to France and open them to
popular subscription, based upon a
unit small enough to permit every
citizen to participate in the magnifi-
cent contribution.
But we must not limit our support
to a money contribution we must
give men also. The stars and stripes
should wave alongside the tri-colors of
France and the American soldiers
should mingle with the French in the
drive against Germany, just as the
French soldiers fought and died on
American soil in our struggle for free
dom We have a common cause with

enemy. We can not do that with hon

ly needs and follow it up with a fight
ing force that will prove that we are
actuated by willingness to sacri-

President Wilson is being urged to
reorganize his cabinet in order to get
the services of the biggest and braini-
est men in the nation in handling the
grave situation that now confronts the
country. 1t Is pointed out that the
president has not announced his cab
met since his Inauguration and it is
presumed that his old cabinet follow
ed the usual custom and placed their
designations in his hands. This would
make it easy to eliminate few of
them, particularly the heads of the
navy and war departments, and SUBJ
sttute for them big men, men of ex-
perience in public affairs, courageous,
possessed of the power to initiate and
execute; In short, men who would at
once inspire confidence that these
great departments, the fighting
branches of the government would be
handled in keeping with the best ira
ditions Of the army and navy Give
the boys on land and sea leadership
that will lead.

NEW SECRETARY FORMERLY A
RESIDENT OF WALLACE.

AS rule the doing the Spokane
chamber of commerce are not matters
of special interest in the Occur
d'Alenes for reasons not necessary to
mention at this time. But there are
exceptions to all rules and in this
case the exception is the election last
week of James A. Ford as secretary of
that body. The selection of Mr.. Ford
to fill that important position was the
subject of much favorable comment in
this city, where he formerly resided
and where he has many friends who
merited advancement For period
of years he was managing editor Of a
daily newspaper here, and as such he
not only acquired a wide acquaint-
anee throughout the district, but OBJ
tanned also an intimate knowledge of
the mines and their geograp hcal To-
cation within the sovereign state of
Idaho, wholly Independent of any
connection, real or imaginary, with
that mythical region known as the
Inland Empire. As secretary of the
Spokane chamber of commerce. Mr..
Ford should therefore be well equip
ped to take up and strengthen the
strained diplomatic relations" be-
tween this district and the capital of
the boundless empire.
In all seriousness, however, The
Miner congratulates the Spokane
chamber of commerce in securing the
services of Mr. Ford. He has had a
long and successful career in news
paper work. He\is tireless worker
and resourceful to a degree that. can
not fail to win success in handling the
large problems with which he will
have to deal in his new position.

GOV. ALEXANDER AND THE MIN
ING INDUSTRY OF IDAHO.

The value of the mineral produc-
ton of Idaho last year, in round fig
ures, was $4,000, 600, according to the
statistics compiled, and published by
the state inspector of mines. During
the past nineteen years, the period in
which accurate records have been
kept, the value of the output of the
mines of Idaho was 372,000000, elm
mating the odd figures, also taken
from the files of the state mine in
spector. Estimated value of the min
eral production for the preceding
thirty eight years, 1881 ,000,000 Grand
total value of the mineral output of
Idaho for fifty-six years, $753,000,0 200.
Now bear these figures in mind
while contemplating the motives of

elected governor last fail and to whose

mon PARTISAN"
TARIFF COMMISSION.

Congress established the tariff COM
mission reluctantly. 1t will be a cost
ly creation to maintain; and its labors
will be of doubtful value. Under the
constitution, no tariff board can es-
tablish rates of duties, it can only
make Investigations and state conclu-
sions. The house of representatives
must originate all legislation affect
ing the revenues; and the house has
always looked askance at tariff COM
missions appointed by the president
reporting to him. and inevitably col
oring it's opinions by his.
In the present instance congress
was urged to make the tariff commits
sion mon partisan" To this end the
commission was established with six
members-an even number, of whom
three were expected to be democrats
and three republicans, in order that no
party should have an advantage over
another in what was speciously advo-
Gated as an effort to take the tariff
out of politics"
The president has now discredited
that argument. After waiting several
months before naming the tariff COM
mission, he presents mon partisan
group of six men, all of whom are be-
lieved to have voted for Wilson last
November and only one of whom can
lay claim to republcanism even in an
emasculated form.
We are not surprised. In this, as in
almost every exercise Of the appoint
ing power, the president has run true
to form. In campaigns appealing for
non partisan support; in Office dis
playing partisanship of the most OBJ
noxious character. This is Woodrow
Wilson The new tariff board fur
nishes only cumulative evidence on
this point.

deavor before it is to late, before our

Congressman Hamilton, of Michi-
gan, says the democrats won the cleo
ton last fall through well organized
publicity service, which he contends
will elect anyone if sufficiently financ-
ed. Referring to the European war
which has created the false prosperity
in the country, Mr., Hamilton asserts
that our factories have been kept run
ming in order to paint hundreds of
miles of trenches in Europe with hu-
man blood. 1--WE are prosperous" he
adds, "but to boast of our prosperity
would be like convention of under
takers referring feelingly to an cpl
demic of cholera"

1t is proposed to make arrange
ments to enlist men who have passed
the military age for special duty at
home. There will be much to do in
this line Of the service, for attempts
will be made to destroy property,
transportation lines and foment in
surrection In our own country. These
men, many of whom have had expert
ence In the army or other military
training, will prove as effective for
this class of service as younger men,
and they will be proud to render SER
vice to Uncle Sam at this critical
time.
