Halifax has made an urgent appeal
to the people of Canada for twenty
five million dollars to relieve the suf-
fering and destitute for restoring the
means of self-support TO destitute

dwellings so sorely needed now that
winter has set in.
America has already responded gen
erously and quickly The Red Cross
Immediately sent to Halifax a staff of
one hundred doctors. one hundred and
fifty nurses. and fifty trained work
ers. and it is reported that the per-
sonnet and material either there or
on the way will fully meet the pres
ent or temporary needs.
We are advised that the only help
ful gift right now is money
No individual appeal should be
made by the Red Cross. However,
all Red Cross Chapters should accept
unsolicited contributions of money

FREE TRADERS MAY LEARN Les
SON FROM THE WAR.

This department is too patriotic to
use these pencils wrote Inspector c.
o. Myers to w. D. Fulton, Ohio's sec
rotary of state. on receiving a con-
signment Of pencils marked Made in
Germany" 1t was fine joke on the
democratic officials of Ohio, whose
party stapds for free trade. They are
too patriotic" to use pencils made
In Germany" but in 1913 their party
was so unpatriotic as to make a bid
for German competition In lead PEN
ellis, against those made in America, "
by reducing the tariff duty to ride
ulous rate, thereby enabling Germany
to stock our market so full that our
importers are carrying those stocks
four years later. Do you democrats
and free traders now see the point?
II the war lasts long enough perhaps
you will learn something with regard
to this matter. No amount Of argu-
ment has ever been able to convince
you.

"Do YOUR BIT"
mining and Scientific Press)

mining and Scientific Press)
One curious sidelight on current
opinion is the Interpretation of the
British phrase ito do your bit" 1t Is
the English soldiers mock modest
way of saying that he Is ready to lay
down his life for his country and it's
cause; here in California it Is taken
| literally as meaning that every men,
Der of the community must do a lit
| tie, the cumulative effect of which is
to suffice. This is another phase of
the idea that IL we put forth "a frac-
| ton" Of our energy. we, being a great
and resourcefu] country, shall turn
the tide of war. So one man sub
scribes a dollar to the Red Cross, an
other foregoes pork on Saturdays, and
third pays SO cents for ticket to
concert for the French wounded. and
then fools himself into the belief that
he has done his bit" How pitifully
stupid! Public dining and public
dancing continue with cynical con-
tournaments and symphony concerts
are held as if the pentecost of calam-
ity were only nightmare, tourists go
their irresponsible way, politicians
play politics, labor goes on strike,
business as usual is the motto Of
large part of our population, as if the
criminal folly of that sentiment had
not been proved in England three
years ago. The idea prevails that
Uncle Sam is invincible, that he is
sure to come out of this affair, as from
others, with victorious eagle perch
| ing on his shoulder. We hope and be-
| lieve it, but in the name of Washing
ton and Lincoln. for the sake of all
that makes life worth while, let us
not stop at hoping and believing. Let
us act! Our own deeds are our
doonsmen.

GENERAL WOOD IS IN BAD WITH
THE ADMINISTRATION.

| Having passed his physical test Ma
jor General Wood has been passed to
the rear-Camp Funston, Kansas. Sc
far as known he was not admitted to
the presence in the White House, dur
ing his visit to Washington. Indian
fighter, rough rider, colonial governor
and founder of the Pittsburgh train
ing camps, Wood has made an envi-
able record as soldier and executive,
but he clearly incurred the dislike of
the president because of his prepar-
edness talk during those criminally
wasted days when we We're too proud
to fight" His testimony given to the
senate committee on military affairs
Immediately upon his return from
France, was of nature to raise the
hair, and 1t was. at the generals re-
quest. confdentially rendered in or
Ger that the administration might be
as little embarrassed as possible IL.
reviewing shortcomings. But even
this seems to have been received as
an affront by the president calling
for slight to one Of the ablest Of
fcers in the American army. Along
about the time this slight was being
visited upon Wood the papers carried
an article to the effect that with a.
view to encouraging efficiency, the
riveter on the Pacific coast who drove
the most rivets for given month
would be given free trip to WASH
Ington. and that Chairgan Hurley
would even do what he could to let
him see the president. Is all this the
scrt Of democracy for which we are
making the world safe?

DEPARTMENT OF MINES.

mining and Scientific Press)
Conditions created by the war have
indicated the need for a new execu :
tive department, representing the
mining industry. in the federal ad-
ministration. We note that the lead :
ers of the American Mining congress
are ventilating the subject and 1t is
fitting that they should do so, for to
the Mining congress we owe the es-
tablishment of the U. s. bureau of
mines. The lack of a cabinet officer
at the head of, department Of mines
las contributed TO the confusion and
ineptitude that have marked the well
intentioned efforts to mobilize our
resources for warfare. That
the coal industry should have been
placed in the hands Of college pres
ident and the buying Of metals in the
hands of speculative broker are two
Of the consequences of official indlrec-
ton. We shall be glad to support the
mining congress in its campaign for
the creation Of an executive officer at
Washington to represent the other Of
the two great productive Industries of
BUR country.

NON PARTISAN LEAGUE SEEMS
TO BE LOSING OUT.

A few weeks ago the papers OF
south Idaho were hardened by the do
ings of the Nom Partisan league, and
the farmers in that section of the
state seemed to be pungling up the
price of membership as fast as they
could be reached by energetic cam
vassers who were covering every
county In a fleet of Ford cars. Six
teen dollars was the price of mem
tership, which was presumed to be
used in creating a campaign fund to
secure the election Of men committed
to the tenets of the organization and
in general to spread the doctrine Of
discomfort. That Is. the membership
fees were to be used for this purpose
after the salaries of officers had been
paid, together with liberal commits
sions to the field agents of the league.
But little is heard of the Nom Parti-
san league in south Idaho these days,
which indicates that the farmers down
there, whose loyalty has never been
questioned, have discovered that they
were being duped by bunch of paci-
fists and pro- Germans who were much
mere interested in serving the kaiser
than in bringing relief to the tillers
OF the soil. A few days ago the leu-
que in Minnesota, where it had built
up a large membership, invited Gov
ernor Nordquist to deliver an address
The governor promptly declined and
tersely stated his reasons in this par
|agraph:
when it became apparent that
their course opposing the war
would result in disaster for their
organization. they made an elev-
enth hour claim to loyalty, but
Notwithstanding this claim, the
national Non Partisan league Is a
party of discomfort 1t has drawn
to it the pro German element of
our state. It's leaders have been
closely associated with the law
less |, w. w. and the red social
lists, paciflsts and peace advo-
Gates, whose doctrines are q bene-
fit to Germany, are among their
numbers"
This probably explains the decline
Of Non Partisan league enthusiasm in
south Idaho.

LET APEX LAW ALONE FOR THE
PRESENT AT LEAST.

The mining industry is far from
unanimous in demanding that the apex
law be repealed; in fact, it is the opin-
ion of many of those who are recog-
nized as authority both on the legal
phases Of the question and the prac-
teal operation Of the law that its
abandonment at this time and the sub
stitution Of law limiting the rights
Of the claim owner to vertical planes
corresponding to his surface lines
would not bring relief from litigation,
particularly in view of the fact that
no new law could deprive mining
claims now located of their extra lat
eral rights. But without considering
at this time the merits Of either side
of the controversy, and it will be
real controversy If the matter ever
gets before congress, the Miner be-
ileVeS that consideration OF the queS-
ton should be deferred until after the
war, The apex law has been in ex-
istence for over fifty years, and under
1t the mining industry has expanded
and prospered There is no emergen-
cy that calls for immediate action, no
interest is being jeopardized. and for
this reason the question should not be
forced upon congress at this time
when all It's energies are concentrated
on Legislation having for its purpose
winning the war The people of the
mining states are united and absorb

ATTORNEY GUILTY AS WELL AS
HIS CLIENTS.

If the published report of the speech
of Albert Streiff, attorney for the !
w. WIS who were convicted in the dis
trict court at Moscow last week, IL
correct, he should have been arrested
and held for trial on the same charge
filed against his clients In giving a
resume of his speech to the jury, the
Moscow Star Mirror says that Streiff
commended:
That the farmer who hordes
his wheat Is in the same class
with the l. w. w. who cuts logs
short, slows down on the job
and does all he can to retard pro-
duction and that both are justi-
fable. He defended the
right of employees to slow down
on the job and to retard produc-
ton and pictured labor as fight
ing capital"
The jury found Streiff's clients gull
ty and the court promptly gave them
penitentiary sentences, all of which
was right and proper and in the in
terest of good government. But in
what respect was the offense of the
convicted men different from that of
the attorney defending them? They
were charged with advocating sabot-
age, which may be practiced in vari-
Gus forms. but always for the purpose
Of slowing down on the job" destroy
ing property. tying up industrial en-
terprises and generally to harrass and
employers Of labor as a
means Of forcing acceptance of i. w.
w. terms or to increase the number
Of employees. They were not charged
with practicing sabotage, but with ad-
iocating 1t, which Is a crime. under

WEALTH AND THE WAR TAX.
(Saturady Evening PosN


Smiths income is five thousand
dollars a year. He bought Liberty
bonds of the second issue. The gov
eminent pays him four per cent, net
on the money invested in them.
Rockefellers income is five millions
a year, and more. He bought Liberty
bonds of the second issue. The gov
eminent pays him one and one half
per cent, net. on the money invested in
them-only a little over a third as
much as 1t pays Smith for his money.
War debts of all the chief European
belligerents now amount to more than
a third of the total estimated national
wealth before the war. 1t is a for
midable burden and good many
schemes are proposed for shouldering
It upon wealth.
The graduated income tax does
shoulder the burden upon wealth. The
surtax takes sixty-three per cent of a
very rich mans income, nothing at
all from an income up to five thous-
and dollars, and one per cent from an
income between five thousand and
seventy-fiv hundred.
For Rockefeller the effect is prac-
tically the same as though the gov
eminent invited him to buy a certain
amount of bonds and then cancelled
the interest on two thirds of them.
He may sell his government bonds;
but that does not help him, for the
tax will take the same proportion Of
his income however it is derived

sHOSHONE COUNTY AND THE
LIBERTY LOAN.

OF course Shoshone county will sub
scribe its full allotment of Liberty
government expects the issue Of 3d.
900, 000, 900 to be largely over-sub-
scribed, and If 1t is not. then it will
be necessary to make another drive
for the fourth issue much sooner than
is now contemplated. In other words,
the government in fixing the amount
of the present issued relied upon the
loyal support of the people to sub
scribe almost double the amount, and
this expectation was justified by the
large over subscription of the first and
second loans. Bonds will be issued
for the entire subscription, whatever
the amount,
1t is up to the people now to make
good the full expectations of the gov
eminent and then some. This should
be done not alone to provide the gov
eminent with ample funds, but for tho
effect 1t will have upon the enemy. II
Will be a message to the kaiser that
been freely placed at the disposal of
the government, and that there can be
no peace until complete and decisive
victory has been achieved over the
central powers.
The drive in Shoshone county up to
date has not accomplished results as
rapidly as anticipated. The soliciting
committees have done and are doing
their work well. giving time to cause
In which every other citizen should be
equally interested. AS rule they
have found the people ready to sub
scribe to the limit of their means and
expressing regret that they can not
do more. However there is consid
cradle number who do not respond In
that spirit and who subscribe far be-
low their ability, while others can be
classed in no other way than as slack
ers. either refusing to subscribe on
some manufactured pretext. or who
evade the solicitors and hope to es-
cape subscribing unnoticed. But they
will not escape, nor will those who
have subscribed sum far less than a
fair proportion Of their resources.
These men will be investigated by the
general Liberty loan committee and
pressure will be applied to induce
them to come through with fair sub
scription. If they still refuse, they
will be welcome to all the satisfaction
they can get through boarding their
means while their country calls for
help. Fortunately there are compar-
atively few of this type of citizens in
Shoshone county, and there will prob
ably be less when they begin to feel
the effect of their unpatirotic posi-
ton.
