SINKING OF .TUScANlA WAS
MURDER, NOT WAR.

Those German newspapers which are
gloating over the sinking of the Tus-
cania and pointing out that the effect
will be to cause a depression of the
war spirit of the American people are
either putting out that sort of talk to
revive the spirits of their own people,
or else they know nothing of the fight
ing spirit of Americans. The sinking
Of the Tuscania was simply another
case added to the long list of deliber-
ate murder committed by the Huns.
1t has all the elements of the same
crime when committed by an individ-
ual, who by cruel stealth approaches
his victim and stabs him to death
without the slightest warning. Just
as all the power of the state is used
to bring the individual murderer to
justice, so is all the power of the civ
ilized world to be utilized to capture
and punish this nation of murderers
which hopes to maintain its criminal
existence by it's deeds of terrorism
and frightfulness. Germany is an
outlaw nation and she must be han
died just as were the, criminals which
for time terrorized the west. De-
cent citizenship arose in it's might and
administered stern justice which for
ever rid the country of their lawless
depredations. And Germany will meet
the same fate at the hands of the de-
cent nations of the earth.
The Tuscania murder, instead of
weakening the spirit of America, has
steeled the heart of every true Amer
lean. For every one of the brave boys
who went down to death, there are
thousands more to go forth as their
avengers. The barbarous Huns along
the American front will hear the de-
fant and victorious words of Paul
Jones, 1--WE have just begun to fight"
and the response is heard with ever
increasing volume in every state in
the Union. The German press may
continue its efforts to pacify the tu-
multi at home that threatens to break
the grasp of Prussian miiltarism, but
the men who are facing the American
sector know better, and if they don't
cold steel will soon convince them.

WHY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
THE RAILROAD LOBBYIST?
A. LINCOLN

Director General McAdoo has issued
an order prescribing certain purposes
for which the railroads of the country
shall not spend money during the time
he has control over their operations
One of these purposes is for the pay
ment of agents or other persons who
are employed in any way to affect leg
islation."
There are lot of well-meaning peo-
pie who will Immediately take off their
hats and shout "hurrah for McAdoo."
Down with the corporation lobbyists!
But now let us stop to think a NOM
ent. The railroad managers are the
custodians of the property and bust
ness interests Of hundreds of thous-
ands of persons who own large and
small quantities Of stocks in railroads
There is no kind of porperty and no
kind of business operation in the
country that is more affected by leg
islation than the property and bust
ness of the railroads.
Shippers organizations employ
agents to affect legislation. Oranges,
farmers unions, labor organizations
and travellers organizations employ
agents to secure legislation affecting
railroads The McAdoo order means
one Of two things-either that the
viewpoints and interests of the rail-
roads must not be presented before
legislative bodies at all, or they must
be presented by Mr.. McAdoo and his
agents.
There you have the whole thing in a
nutshell. Is Mr. McAdoo's order wise
or foolish?
Undoubtedly the railroad lobbyist
has been an evil. but he was an evil
not because he was a lobbyist but be-
cause he was sometimes secret lob
byist Many states have provided
laws which require lobbyists to regis
ter. Such laws should be general. |
With the evil of secrecy removed, the
lobbyist becomes a great help to good !
legislation, for he has information and
arguments which the legislator can
not have unless he gets them from the
agents Of the railroads who must be

coLoRED CITIZENS ARE LOYAL

Americans Of every section, of every
class, and of every race have answer
ed the call of their country.
Twelve million colored people have
rallied to the defense of their country
in this crisis, and will do their full
share in helping to win this world war
for democracy" DR.. Robert r. Motion,
principal of Tuskogee Institute, sue
cessor to Booker T. Washington in
that office, said recently in an address
at the twenty-seventh Tuskogee con-
ference
The colored American citizens will
do their part in producing foodstuffs
on the farm, in conserving food in the
home, and in fighting in the trenches
in Europe, said Mr.. Motion, and in ad-
dition the colored ministry and COL
ored teachers will preach and teach
thrift among their race.
1t has been impossible to obtain fig
ures on the amount of Liberty Loan
bonds purchased by colored Americans
in the first and second loans, but it is
known that according to their means
and ability the colored race were very
loyal and active and most liberal sub
scribers to the loans.

Taxpayers will generally commend
the action of Governor Alexander in
declining to call special session of
the legislature. While there are prob
ably some matters upon which legisla-
tive action is desirable, and which
might justify calling the legislature
together, the tendency of such bodies
when once in session, is to take up
other matters in which the public is
not particularly concerned, or which
can just as well await action at the
regular session.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST RAIL
ROAD MANAGERS.

That was grave assertion made by
Mr.. Lee, of the brotherhood of railroad
trainmen, ito the effect that heads OF
big railroad systems had deliberately
caused congestion and delays in both
the passenger and freight service over
their lines for the purpose of discred
iting the eight-hour law. He also as
serted that he could name four banks
In New York which were responsible
for the systematic scheme to break
down the Adamson law. The charge
has been indignanny denied by the
railroad managers and representatives
of the banks, and Mr.. Lee has been
called upon to produce the proof,
which is not yet Forthcoming
The public attitude toward Mr.. Lees
charges is reflected by the comment
of Secretary Lane, who is a member
Of the committee making the investi-
cation. When Mr. Lee added that the
alleged action of the railroad mana
gers was perfectly natural" Secre-
tary Lane interposed; Il do not think
it was natural. l am not so cynical
about human nature" Nor are the
people generally so cynical in this re-
spect, The fact is that the people are
now beginning to see the great diff
culties with which the railroad man
agements have had to contend for the
last several years, and particularly
since we have become involved in the
war. Take the priority order as an
example, plan adopted by the gov
eminent for the purpose of facilitating
the movement of freight for which
there was urgent demand. Under this
system orders could be issued by the
fuel administration, the food admins
tration, the ordnance department, the
ouartermaster's department and vari-
Gus other departments and war boards
When priority tag is attached to
car 1t must be moved, although it may
ha htiriaJ 90
terminal tracks. 1t does not require a
railroad man to understand the diff
culties and delays in the delivery of
freight under such a system, particu-
larly when there is no central author
ity from which the orders should come
Each department acted independently
of all others in the exercise of prior
ity rights of freight under it's jurisdic-
ton, and the confusion that followed
was unpreventable by the railroad
This condition could
have largely been prevented if the
priority orders had been issued
through one head. 1t looks very much
like the confusion in operation was
due not to a desire of the railroad
to discredit the eight hour
aw, but rather to the system imposed
lpon them by the government and
lnder which it was impossible to
efficient service and deliver
he goods.

AMERICAN COMM AMBER.
Company Announces That Vein Should
Be Reached Very Soon.

A circular letter recently issued by
the American Commander Mining &
Milling company states that tunnel
No. has been extended 800 feet since
the last report and that the total
length of this tunnel is now POPS feet
The property is situated on the hill
just south of Mullan and the vein that
is soon to be cut is presumed to be
Identical with the Hunter. Discus
sing the operations Of the company,
the letter says:
while no important developments
have occurred, the consulting engin-
eer, who inspects the work at regu-
lar intervals, advises that the fault
should be encountered soon and a
small amount of work should then
open the vein. Mining costs are very
high, but under the circumstances it
is considered advisable to continue the
work as rapidly as possible consistent
with the utmost economy. The COM
pany is out of debt"
Accompanying the report is notice Of
No. 5, payable on or before
March Is to ]. II. Burns, secretary,

BOSS ZINC.
Well Known Two Mile Property Again
on Active List.

Henry Lieb, manager of the Boss
Zinc company, states that work was
resumed on the property this week. A
contract has been let to drive a cross
cut 30 feet or more from the main tun-
mel for the purpose of prospecting the
ground alongside the vein that has
been followed for nearly 300 feet. The
crosscut starts about 100 feet from
the portal and the face of it now
shows much quartz and iron inter-
mingled with the quartzite, and in
terspersed with particles of galena.
Another new mineral substance has
made its appearance which may prove
to be zinc. This work is undertaken
following much surface work done last
fall, which indicated the presence Of
a parallel vein. 1t is possible that the
showing may be part Of the same
vein upon which the drift has been
rum During the fall the cabin was
moved to point near the portal of
the tunnel and all necessary equip
ment provided for the comfort and
of employees.

IDAHO SCHOOL OF MINES ON A
WAR BASIS.

To meet the conditions developed
by the war, and for the purpose of
making the school respond readily to
the needs of the government i'm the
prosecution of the war, the Idaho
school of mines has adopted a short
course that should appeal to high
school graduates. The details of the
change are given by Francis A. Thorn
son, dean of the school of mines, in
another column. Briefly the plan Of
fers an intensive course in geology,
mineralogy, assaying and mine sur
veying, covering a period of from six
to IL months, and is especially de-
signed for graduates of the high
schools of the state. So many techni-
cal men have been taken from the
mining industry to serve in the army
that there is pressing need for young
mer to take their places. OF course
this short course will not thoroughly
ground them for permanent and sue
cessful work in these lines, but ii will
equip them for the emergency and will
give them much valuable practical ex-
perience which will prove of great ad-
to them subsequently when
they complete the regular course at
the school Of mines, as most of them
will do. The school of mines is de-
serving of commentator for the pa
.riotic spirit which prompts it to
brush aside formalitles for the purpose
If adapting Its work to the needs of
he hour.

DON'T PART WITH YOUR LIBER
TY BONDS.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
urges the purchasers of Liberty Loan
bonds of both the first and second is
sues to hold fast to their bonds. They
are the best investment in the world.
The secretarys statement was call
ed forth by the fact that Liberty bond
holders are being approached from
time to time by agents seeking to in
duce them to part with their Liberty
Loan bonds and take in exchange Sc
curities which in a number of cases
are of very questionable value, and
was prompted by the desire to pro-
tect the bondholders against ill-advis-
ed disposition of their bonds
The secretary expresses the hope
that every purchaser of Liberty
bond will realize that the only genu-
inc help that he gives his government
is keeping his bond as an investment
so long as it is possible for him to do
so. He states, however, that no just
objection lies to the sale of Liberty
bond where real necessity exists for
its sale.

origin which We're seized by the Unit

considerable addition to our forces in
Europe, but also the complete success
of a ship repair job of unprecedented
magnitude and difficulty.
When it became plain to the Ger
man government that these ships must
fall into our possession, their engi-
neers undertook, in obedience to or
ders, to render them useless by de-
stroying essential parts of their ma
chinery and by weakening their hulls.
The work was done thoroughly and
ingeniously, and it was commonly

many months certainly not less than

PROTECTION AND MINING.

/ Grades Unionist, Joplin, Mo-
With the world wide war going on
and great demand for our products we
are still being under sold by imported
metals from Mexico, South America,
Australia and several other countries,
where cheap labor prevails. While
our people have apparently become
engrossed in the war situation it is
still fact that the ever present men
ace of importations from countries
having cheap labor overshadows this
mining district and the problem must
be freely discussed from a non parti-
san standpoint with the purpose of
arriving at the best solution of the
question confronting the operators and
miners of this district
The practical, sensible thing for con,
gress to do is to recognize that diff
ference exists in favor of the Ameri-
can working man and also in favor
OF the mining industry and place
protective tariff on the products of the
mines which will bar out the unfair
competition of foreigners, and at the
same time give to the United States
government a tariff revenue which will
help meet the great expense of operat.
ing the nation at present. A protec,
tive tariff at the present time may
not appeal to some of those at WASH
ington in an official capacity but po-
litical wisdom should cause the wise
men of the democratic party to look
into the future and prepare for COM
ng problems.

"A COSTLY SACRIFICE UPON THE
ALTAR OF FREEDOM

To the homes throughout the Union
which have been bereft of sons and
other loved ones through the cruel
fate of the Tuscania, there is little
that can be said to alleviate the
weight of sorrow or bring consolation
to the heart bowed down, except the
assurance that the profound sympa-
thy of the nation goes out to them,
which carries with It the further as
surance that they shall not have died
in vain. The great and sympathetic
heart Of Lincoln realized the mean
ingless Of words in such trying times,
and yet his marvellous faculty in their
use did bring comfort to one over
whelmed with grief To those who
have thus early lost loved ones in the
great conflict we are just entering,
and the many more who will be so af-
flicted before the victory Is won, we
commend the letter of President Lin
coin, written with his own hand, to a
mother who had lost five sons fighting
for the Union:

FEDERAL.
Reported Loss During December Due
to Suspension of Morning.

New York report states that the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
lost $10S,3S1 in the operation of its
mines during the month Of December
This is probably accounted for largely
through the suspension of operations
at the Morning, the company's most
important producer, which was idle
during most of the month in order to
make necessary repairs in the shaft
and which only this week resumed
operation. When the mine closed
down in December 1t was officially
stated that the amount of ore actual
ly in sight was greater than ever be-
fore in the history of the mine, the
extension Of the shaft from the 1000
to the 1900 having added tremendously
to the company's available ore re-
serves. The company's milling capac-
ity is 1900 tons per day which will now
be maintained, while the production
of crude shipping ore makes SUBJ
stantial addition to the output.

In dealing with the l. w. W., will nc
doubt be enacted by other western
states. Such law will probably be
introduced at the coming session OF
the Montana legislature. Two men
are now serving penitentiary sentences
for advocating sabotage and other
means of interfering with the indus

doubt that the provisions Of the law
saved Idaho from much serious trou-
