PRESIDENTS SPEECH RECALLS
FREEDOM OF 1914.

In his letter to the assembled DEM
ocrats Of New Jersey. President Will
son spoke of the men now in the
trenches having been freed from the
economic serfdom" to which some of
them have been accustomed. Like
his earlier utterance, in discussing
peace terms, when he said that the
treaty Of peace must include 1.-THE re-
moval as far as possible of all econ
omic barriers and the establishment
Of an equality of trade among all ma
tions," this was studied thrust at
the republican policy of a protective
tariff.
Freed from economic serfdom,"
indeed! And when did this freeing
from service occur? The only time
In very recent years when any con-
siderable number of American citizens
have been set free from service was
in 1894, after the enactment of the
Wilson Underwood tariff law. when
some 4,OO0,OOO.00O men and women
wage learners lost their jobs because
workshops and factories curtailed their
operations BECAUSE indirectly affected
by the disaster to American manufac-
turers. Set free? Yes, indeed. In
stead of working eight, nine or ten
hours day. as they had been doing.
the workers found themselves work.

and free meals in the bread line. Turn

people waiting for bread free soup.
Tree beds. free anything. They had
attained the economic freedom" so
dear to the heart of every democratic
leader, and being free" from service,
they had to have everything else free.
Most democrats would like to forget
hose tragic days and weeks and
months following the enactment OF the
aw that made American producers

seems absurd to even consider trans
ferring II 10 the war department at
this particular time, when that depart
ment seems hardly able TO care for the
vast business il now has In hand. But
even In normal time we fail to dis
cover any advantage to be gained by
the change
Rather than waste energy in trying
to shift the mining bureau from one
department to another, the efforts of
the mining interests should be direct
ed toward the creation of a depart
ment of mines with cabinet member

ed an importance that demands this
recognition. II has outgrown the linn
tied restrictions of department bur-
eau, supplying necessities for the peo-
pie in all walks of life and providing
essentials for the government In
peace and war. Already the mining
industry supplies over half the ton
mage handled by the railroads. while
persistent prospecting. mechanical in
genuity and scientific research are
constantly extending the field of min
ing activity. 1t has taken a place
of first Importance in the lives and
business of the people and should no
longer be held in subordinate posi-

there is nothing to be gained by maxi

president of the Consolidated Inter-
state Callahan Mining company, and
M. G. Rodearmel, of Minneapolis, vice
president have been spending several
days at the mine this week. They left
for the east this morning on the Nor

most of the time during their stay,
making brief trip to Spokane, ac-

position than many other zinc produce
ers to meet the declining price.

sHOSHONE COUNTY SHORT ON
LIBERTY BONDS.

Subscriptions to the third Liberty
loan in Shoshone county are up to
date disappointing. The people have
not responded to the call Of the gov
eminent with the promptness and
unanimity that has characterized pre-
vious drives. and this in spite of the
fact that hundreds of thousands Of
American soldiers and sailors are now
ualty list is steadily growing day by
day. Men and more men, ships and
more ships, food and more food, is the
cry that is coming from Washington
and from across the sea. How can we
provide more men and ships and food
without money and how can we raise
money to meet this emergency with
out the sale of bonds?
There are men and women in this
county who have not subscribed for a
bond, or possibly have subscribed for
$50 or 500, who could take from $1,000
to $4,000 with more ease than the or
binary wage Garner can take $50.
The time has come when these peo-
pie must be forced to lend the gov
eminent a part of their boarded
wealth, or stand revealed in their true
character before the public All must
share the sacrifice that must be made
In order to win the war against the
Hun, and those who refuse to do so
must be classed as disloyal to the
government and allies of the enemy.
The line Is drawn and every citizen
Is on one side or the other, either
loyal or disloyal. There is no middle
ground, you are either for the govern
ment or against it. The man or wo-
man who Is able to buy Liberty bonds
and fails or refuses to do so Is just as
much an enemy of our country as the
crew Of the submarines seeking to
destroy our ships and murder our
men. or the barbarous Huns facing
American soldiers on the French front.
They must be sought out and placed
on record, so that they may at least
be made to feel the contempt In which
they are held by all true Americans.
Hardly half of the third issue of
Liberty bonds have been subscribed.
Shoshone county is still short of its
allotment. with only about week I'M
I'll the end Of the drive. This county
has never failed to go over the top
and It must not fail now. To the man
or woman who is able and has not
subscribed, last appeal is made to
do 1t now before the record is closed
and he or she stands classed with the
enemies of our country.

KAISER WILL SQUARE IT WITH
GOD.
(Salt Lake Mining Review.)

(Salt Lake Mining Review.)
Metal tags have been found on
German soldiers accused of commit
ting the most revolving crimes, and on
the tags is this Illuminating informa-
ton; II, your kaiser, will appear be-
fore God on Judgment day and as
sumo responsibility for whatever you
do under orders of your officers" The
Prussian is capable of any cruelty
1t Is a part of his nature; and it is
easily conceivable why every attribute
of manhood leaves him when given
that kind Of invitation by the being he
regards as diety. His reasons for
becoming a beast are making them
selves plain as time passes. 1t is one
Of the inevitable results of the Ger
man system.

Not ours to hear the mad, hoarse
shout of battle:
Not ours to see the agonies Of strife;
Not ours to feel the grip of deaths

Not ours to die for freedom. We

We know a peaceful dawn, the sun
soft glowing;
We see the velvet night, and, I'M

Through fields unravaged we may

Our land is free--because our broth

They give their lives, and shall we,
then, inglorious,
Close up our purse strings where we
gave our sons?
When wealth alone can make our
arms victorious,
Shall we withhold the gold to feed
the guns?

afraid;
Let faith in us be met by instant

TREAT STRIKES AS A MUTINY.
Lewiston Tribune.)

Lewiston Tribune)
The so-caled sabotage act which
was sent to the president for sigma
ture yesterday by the congressional
conferees excludes strikes from the
category of interferences with mill
tary production which are now made
a serious crime. and such exclusion
seems both desirable and necessary,
in recognition Of the human factor in
volved. 1t would have been an at
tempt to do the right thing in the
wrong way to include strikes in the
list of seditious offenses. Strikes have
worse consequences than are liable to
follow almost any conceivable sedi-
tious word, deed or incitation. but
they are not necessarily seditious,
ertheless-although they may have
been engineered with such motive-for
the simple but sufficient reason that
by the spirit which actuates men in
seditious acts. When men strike 1t is
not for the purpose of aiding the
enemy, or even with the desire of do
ing so. They strike for the purpose
OF lettering themselves. Their SYM
pathy is with the United States; not
against it, Their sin is in having u
sympathy with the United States 50
feeble that ii cannot resist the OPP
portunity which the necessities of the
country present to aggrandize them
selves 1t is, therefore, worse than
the crime of sedition and approaches
that of treason.
Instead of treating strikes in essen
thar war industries as sedition, which
they are not because they lack the
seditious motive, they could very APP
propriately be treated as mutiny,
which they seem to be, because their
effect Is of the same nature as that
which follows the refusal of a soldier
to fight. or Of sailor to navigate the
ship in the gathering storm. The de-
fault is not intended as a betrayal of
the army or to cause the loss Of the
ship, but because such effect is the
logical consequence of the default, If
permitted promiscuously, it is treated
summary by the responsible author
tiles. But to treat strikes as mutiny
the principle of CONSUMPTION would
have to be applied to laborers in es-
sential war industries just as it is to
soldiers. Whether it is expedient
to do this is questionable; it would
probably cause more trouble than it
would avert, although it would cause
no more than would a law treating
strikes as sedition, as it was proposed
to do in the bill that now becomes
law. But whether expedient or not
the only rational treatment is that
which regards strikes in essential war
Industries as mutny and implies that
citizens are as much obligated to
work for the nation. while it is en-
gagged in war, in their accepted voca-
tons and on approved terms, as they
are to fight for it.

WHY OUR BACKS TO THE WALL.
New York SUM-

Our backs wouldn't be at the wall
now If. we had prepared for war at the
opening Of the war In 1914 and thrown
our resources with the French and
British. The Germans would long
since have been on their knees beg
ging for peace. And Russia would
be a nation today instead Of 4 disor-
ganized, demoralized people in the
hands of Bolshevik highwaymen and
under the iron heel Of Germany.

TEAM OF Big
LEAGUERS TO
TOUR FRANCE

Paris, Oct. 14.--While there will
be no visit to the American expedi-
tionary forces by any all-star team
Of big leaguers from the United
States, something better is in store
for Pershing's host of real baseball
fans If present plans of the Knights
of Columbus and Y. NJ. G. A. are
carried through to success. Ar
rangements are now under way to
form a picked team selected from
former major league stars now in
service over here. and a definite
announcement of it's makeup may
be forthcoming any day.
General headquarters, at the re-
quest of the X. Of c. officials, is en-
deavoring to arrange 1t so that the
men chosen can be released from
their units on detached service for
the duration of a tour throughout
the A. E. r. The probable personnel
of the team is as follows:
Catchers-Color Sergeant Hank
Gowdy. and Regain, ex- Cincinnati,
Pitchers-Corp. Grover Cleveland
Alexander, Sherrod Smith, Lyon
Galore, Lambeth Of Cleveland and
Noyes OF the Athletics.
: First base-Dots Miller, of st.
Louis.
Second base-Johnny Evers, K. of
c. athletic director.
Third base-Cy Bates, Athletics.
Shortstop-Chuck Ward. Brooklyn.
Ontfield-Menoskey and Rice, of
Washington: Miller, of Cleveland,
and Lee Magee. Of Cincinnati, Y. NJ.
G. A. athletic director.
Officers As Utility Men.
1t is believed certain that prac-
dcally all these men can be releas-
ed temporarily for the project, and.
to display the democratic principle,
two officers probably will serve as
utility men-Lieut. Eddie Grant,
former shortstop of the Giants, and
lat. Moose Mccormick, once
famed pinch hitter Of the same
club. =
Miller, the former Cleveland out
fielder, has seen more real action
than any others OF the array nam
ed. He wears a D. S. c. over his
heart and has been wounded twice.
but is well enough to help in man
ping out the details Of the tour and
probably will be able to play when
the call is given to play ball"
The scheme is to have the stars
go to the rounds OF divisional teams
hospital STAFF mines and other az.
gregations. for the benefit Of the
service" Particular attention would
be paid to stops in hospital towns,
so that the wounded and GONZALES
cents may have plenty of chance to
see the games. The opening contest
probably will be played in oParis
against an all-star team picked from
the Paris league. ''l

Charley White, well known light
weight boxer of Chicago, and at one
time contender for the title, has
been highly complimented by the
commanding general OF the 172nd
Infantry Brigade, at Camp Grant
ILL.,, for his work in athletics at the
camp.
The following letter was sent
White by Brigadier- General c. II
Martin:
ITO whom it may concern: While
stationed at Camp Grant, a boxing
instructor, Charles White. had oc-
casion to do a considerable amount
of instruction in this brigade. ais
ability to train men and make them
physically fit for the battlefield was
fully proved during his short period
at this camp. His work in this
brigade was most satisfactory IN
every way, and all the officers and
men of this command were well
satisfied with Mr.. Whites methods,
manner Of instructing and general
attitude toward his work and SUI
periors."

Sport Snapshots
(By Jack Keene.)

Charlie Ellis, former three-cushion
billiard champion, enlisted in the
marines at Pittsburgh, Pa. about
two months ago. His patriotic move
interested many people, as most folk
in the billiard world know Charlie.
They knew him, though. only as
good sportsman and clever shot
with the cue. Charlie could put the
reverse English and the draw on the
worries with the best OF 'em.
But he has turned his keen eye
now to knocking off targets with a
rifle. In a letter to a friend in
Chicago Charlie says that he has
earned an expert rifleman's medal
and the IS increase that goes with IT..
He seems more proud Of his two
months efforts than OF any fame he
ever won in the cue world.
He hit SO out Of a possible 100
targets at 500 and 500 yards. The
score qualities him for the machine
gun school at Utica or as an in
structor at the rifle range.
The most interesting item con-
corning Ellis success is the fact that
he had never shot a rifle TO any great
extent before joining the colors.

st. Louis Browns, has waived de-
ferred classification because Of de-
pendents and enlisted In the tank

Sherwood Magee was one Of the

workers in an eastern yard struck
again recently. Magee was quite
Indignant at this reflection on his
ability to boss common laborers, and
said the strikers, were all wrong.
He'd be willing TO compete. he said,

came to doing a days work or boss

Fight fans are still discussing the
feat of Jack Dempsey in laying Fred
Fulton full length on the ring floor
in 80 seconds. A number Of fans
have written in since, all with the
same question. That is:
WAS it the quickest knockout on
record for heavyweights?"
Yes, it was.
But here are some other remark
ably short fights.
Old Peter Maher over 90 years
ago. knocked out Steve ODonnell
at Maspeth in 40 seconds.
Tom Sharkey halted Gus Rubin
in a minute of furious fighting at
Coney Island ten years ago.
Frank Erne lost the lightweight
title to Joe Cans on the first punch
Cans delivered at Fort Erie in 1909.
Bob F'itzsimmons dropped Peter
Maher il a minute at Langtry, Tex,
in 1895.
