The senate gave big boost to tie
phal Tor n hone-dry America by
voting in favor Of the prohibitions
rider to the agricultural extension
bill. II went on record first by re-
yersing the rulils of the chair, that
the amendment is general legislation
and therefore barred from an appro-
printion measure. The vets admitted
their defeat since the move for war
prohibition originated In the lower
house, and relied on the president to
veto the bill on the ground that the
workers in vital war industries should
not be deprived of alcoholic beverages.

There have been many stories of
the declining morale of the German
troops. due partly to the prevalence
of Spanish influenza, but 1t would be
foolish to grow optimistic over these
reports. The enemy Is still strong and
can produce an amazing number of
men. and confidence in our victory
must be based on our growing strength
rather than on his growing weakness.

which is part in Switzerland 1t

with snow most all the year

is a war over here now, since l
have been here at Aix-Les- Bains.
l sure hate to go back to camp
now, but will have to start back

eight days to-day. l may wish |

Well, you have been asking
me to send you some pictures so
this is the first opportunity that
have had to get any good pic

I wrote you a card a couple of

Earn and Give.

The boys and girls of the Unit
ed States have been organized as
workers in the United War Work
campaign which begun Monday,
the 18th. Theirs is called the
Earn and Give" division, as
the members are pledged to earn
and give SIS to the fund. More
than a million of these Victory
boys and girls are enrolled for
the work. 1t is for them a les
son in thrift, self. denial, gener-
osity and patriotism. Valuable
as the practicable results of their
labor is to the campaign, it is of
still greater. value to each boy
and girl actively engaged in the
work.
The fact that peace is close at
hand increases the demands upon
the recreational organizations of
the army and navy and makes
them more imperative. With the
cessation of fighting will come
relaxation.
Men who have been keyed to
the fighting pitch, who have been
subjected to the extremes of ex-
citement on the battlefield and
of physical discomforts in the
trenches, will find it difficult to
adjust their lives to the unevent-
full daily routine of peace. Many
soldiers who are not fit subjects
for the hospital are suffering
from the shock of battle, and, in
their effort to regain the normal,
need all the help the organiza-
lions that provide recreation and
home comforts for the boys can
give.
1t is estimated that it will take
J about eighteen months to de-
mobilize the army. The soldiers
: who have been made more fiji
physically by their army training
will be eager to return to the
| work they abandoned at the cal
, to arms. They will be impatient
of the delay that holds them from

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN ON WAR
ANNIVERSARY.

loan will be opened on the 9Th of
April, the anniversary of the declara-
ton of state of war between the
United States and Germany.
The amount, terms and conditions
Of the loan are dependent upon further
legislation and will be announced as
soon as congress has granted the ne
cessary powers.
Secretary McAdoo chose the 9Th OF
April as the day to open the campaign
as the most fitting date to call for a
patriotic response to the summons to
duty of every American, to ask from
the people at home the same fervent
patriotism that actuates our gallant
sens on the battleiields of France and
on the waters of the Atlantic

Illuminating kind. A hint from a shift
boss may be worth as much as thou
sand samples. Shift bosses deserve
cigars. Ignorant and loutish shift
bosses there are, of course, but they
are rare, because men of such char
acteristics rarely hold the confidence
Of the management or the respect of
the men. Not only has the standard
of shift bossing improved as mining
has become more technical in method
and more comprehensive in scale, but
q start has been made in training
technical graduates for this work of
supervision, which affords a splendid
training for educated young men pos
sessed of the physique and experience
that are essential for such respon-
sibility. The innovation may succeed
but we shall continue to think of the
shift bosses whom we have known,
not technical graduates, but boss min
ers, quick witted and strong-armed,
keenly observant, good natured, and
intensely proud of their mine.

MOSES AND SPECIAL SESSION.
(Pocatello Tribune)


If Governor Moses wants an extra
session of the state assembly to clear
the deficiency items of his economy"
administration it would seem that he
could offer the boys some special in
ducement for serving in special ses-
sion, and hand out a few commission
appointments, or something like that.
He don't want a further deficiency Of
$4,000 stacked up against him, so
that it would probably be the mag
unanimous thing to look after the de
serving" with true Jeffersonian sim
plicity, and pay them out of the other
pocket, though this couldn't be done
with all the boys, as some of them are
republicans, and they are supposed to
do things for the good of the cause
and forget partisan lines" The gov
ernor, it so happens, is highly paid
executive, his salary being greater
than that paid by some states larger
than Idaho. Under the circumstances
it Is barely possible, with the state in
the hole, that he will contribute his
salary to the good of the cause, as
many paper patriots exist in these
days, and little thing like that should
be a mere bagatelle to Moses.

NATIONAL PARTY AND ITS
HEAVY HANDICAP.

When the organization OF a new
party is proclaimed, its sponsors are
generally men of initiative ability and
of sufficient force of character to at
tract to them a considerable following,
albeit the theories of government and
measures of reform they advocate may
be of the most visionary and imprac-
teal kind. Above all they stand for
some one essential and over shadow
ing principle which forms the rallying
point for those who are attracted to
their leadership, and in minor matters
OF political faith the sails are trimmed
to catch all manner of fitful breeZes
that here and there create q ripple
upon the political sea. But the ma
tional party, which has just emerged
from the period of travail in Chicago,
seems to depend upon the last exped-
iency alone as means of gathering
recruits to follow it's standard, 1t is
fathered by no one who inspires con
fidence in it's leadership and promises
nothing in the way of constructive re-
suits. It's appearance is aptly COM
parable to the lowly mule which comes
upon the scene without pride. of an
cestry or hope of posterity.
But these unpromising conditions
surrounding the birth of the national
party do not constitute the only handi-
cap with which the organization has
tn contend. The man selected to
guide its destiny is d. c. Coates, whose
past political affiliations include a
close connection with the Western
w. d. Haywood in the organization
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, radical socialist, organizer of
the Non Partisan League in North
Dakota, the leader of which is now
being held on charge of sedition. If
the national party can get anywhere
With this milestone tied around its
neck, it will be because this country is
ripe for the scenes that have turned
Russia over to the kaiser.

CHANGES OF WAR.
(Iron Tradesman)

Great economic changes must follow
such conflict as the present one;
and one of the most certain differences
that can now be drawn from the pro-
gress of the war is that the day of in
dividualism, of free unbridled compe-
wastage Of the old way has been too
plainly demonstrated to permit of its
return. Community of interests, CO.
operative efforts, one central control,
alike.
Great economic changes have al
ready been made which would not have
taken palce for generations but for
and control of industries establish
ment of maximum prices on raw ma
terials and certain food products, CO.
operative efforts on the part of trans
portation systems and important man
ufacturing concerns-all these were
but idle dreams a year ago. Manu-
featuring methods, transportation
methods, distributive methods, have
been developed to greater degree of
efficiency through the elimination Of
needless friction. 1t is incredible that
such friction could ever again be per-
mitted to hamper our industrial life
In Great Britain, where state con-
troll of industries has been developed
to a far greater extent than in Ameri-
ca, there is some dissatisfaction with
the restrictions under which business
has been placed. But we can no long
er conduct business each man for
himself" says the London Economist,
nor each business for itself on the
principle of the devil take the hinder
most" and this English authority
adds that the inefficiency of the old
free competitive system has been for
chilly demonstrated and that the war
has shown what cooperative efforts
might achieve under voluntary organ
ization.

FIXING HIGH PRICES.
mining and Scientific Press.

mining and Scientific Press.)
Fixation of~zinc prices, within mar
row limits, has been achieved by those
interested in securing fair treatment
|of the industry by the government.
The chief war demand is for the higher
grades; consequently the official price
affects only what is known as grade
A." which is now to cost IL cents per
pound, this price applying to govern
ment purchases and to the open mar
ket. Grade A conforms to mini
mum of 1886 per cent zinc, with STAN
dard limitations for other impurities
as presented on our metal market page
last week. Lower grades are left to
shift for themselves, and as grade A
represents but a small proportion of
the total zinc output the effect on the
quotations for prime western" will
be small. Even the inclusion Of sheet
zinc in the official list at Is cents per
pound will prove of comparatively
little benefit for the same reason. APP
parently this would indicate price
for prime western a shade below re-
cent quotations, and the zinc producers
will find 1t necessary to adjust them
selves to this unfavorable condition.

TRIBUTE TO THE SHIFT BOSS.
Mining and Scientific Press)

mining and Scientific Press)
Shift bosses are useful and import
ant men in the economy of a mine. We
take pleasure in publishing the text of
a short address on the duties of a
shift boss as delivered at Bisbee by
Joseph P. Hodgson, consulting engin-
eer of the mining department of the
Phelps Dodge corporation. The shift
boss is the boatswain of those that go
down to mine in skips. He is the nom
commissioned officer upon whom so
largely depends the morale of the
crew. He is the link between the
company and its employees. A mine
can not be we'll managed without the
aid of one or more good shift bosses.
Poor ones will render futile the best
efforts of clever superintendent. The
shift boss selects the men for differ
ent tasks; he tells them what to do.
and is able to show them how to do
it. Being in close touch with the men,
he is the first to know if trouble is
brewing, If they are dissatisfied, or If
they are unfairly treated--and he him.
self may be the immediate cause of
trouble by treating individuals I'M
fairly, showing favoritism, or exhib-
ting bad temper. Again, the shift
boss Is expected to have keen eye
for ore, to see that the working places
are SAFE and to report any significant
changes in the face of level or stope.
He sees to the safety of the working
places, and Is the first to give aid
when accidents happen To the young
mining engineer the shift boss looms
large. In him the technical graduate
finds a storehouse of valuable expert
ence and from him can be obtained
the practical hints that no professor or,
book can furnish. The young man on
the way to becoming a mining engin-
Ger is wise IL he make friends with
the shift boss for in him he will find
the guide and philosopher of the world
To the visiting engineer
inspecting or appraising mine, 1t is |
essential to establish pleasant ,rela-
ions with the shift boss, for from him
IAN be obtained information Of most |
