TIME FOR SENATE TO ACT ON
LAFOLLETTE CASE.

BY vote of 26 to 3 in the senate
and SO to 32 in the house, the legis-
lature of the state Of Wisconsin de-
ciared that Senator Robert M. La
toilette no longer represents the loyal
and patriotic sentiment of the people
of the state and is unfit to occupy a
seat in the United States senate. This
crushing reputation from the body
which elected him, and representing
the overwhelming sentiment of the
people of Wisconsin toward Senator
Lafolette, should have the effect to in
senate to which a resolution demand
ing the expulsion of the Wisconsin
senator was referred last September
The pro- German attitude of Lafollette
and his sedtious utterances regarding
the war measures of the government
provoked a storm of indignation from
the people of every state in the Union,
which found expression in resolu-
ton demanding his expulsion from the
senate. The resolution was referred
to committee, which was expected to
proceed at once to an investigation and
report to the senate. But so far as
the public knows nothing has been
done toward an investigation. SEN
atorial courtesy, if that term can be
applied to the inaction of the commit
tee having this serious charge under
consideration, seems to be a more po-
tent influence with the senate than
the demand for speedy action coming
from the people of the country Now
that the people of Wisconsin, through
the legislature, have proved the 10y
atty of the state by repudlating La
toilette and demanding that he be
kicked out of the senate, the members
of that august body should realize that
further delay in dealing with the La
toilette case can be regarded in no
other way than as trifling with the
patriotic sentiment of the nation.

DAY SCHOLARSHIP.
mining and Scientific Pressl


Jerome ]. Day of the Hercules mine,
in the Occur d'Alene, has established
a scholarship in the school Of mines
Of the University Of Idaho. The schol-
|arship is for $3.50 per annum to run
for four years. 1t will be awarded
annually, so that four scholarships
will be in effect concurrently. 1t is to
be awarded to high school students in
Shoshone county, Idaho, the winners
being selected by an examination to
be held annually at Wallace. Not
scholastic ability alone but manli-
ness and character generally will be
considered in making the award. We
take pleasure In referring to this pub
lie spirited act, because it sets an ex-
ample that other successful miners
should follow. In this connection the
gift of $1,000,000 by Andrew Carnegie
to McGill university is noteworthy.
Mr.. Carnegie states that he has been
moved to this benefaction by the de-
voted service Of the university during
the war and the sacrifice 1t has made
toward Canada's part therein; he also
wishes his gift to be considered IAN
expression Of appreciation and SYM
pathy for the people Of Canada on the
part Of their allies south Of the bor-
DER" All Of which Is well done, for
McGill is a great and useful institu-
Eion. and. as for Canada, we are proud
10 live next door to her.

THERE CAN BE NO PEACE WITH
OUT VICTORY.

That was an unfortunate expression
when President Wilson suggested that
there could be peace without victory
fact which he no doubt fully realizes
now. 1t nstilled a wrong idea into
the minds of the people, leading them
to believe that peace might be near
at hand, and as consequence damp
ened their ardor in support of the
great war preparations of the govern
ment. Happily the president has now
disabused his mind of that misleading
idea, and the further reassuring an
continue the war of words which he
has been waging with the German
chancellor. 1t is now fight to a
finish, whether it be one year or many
years, and the only peace that can
come is through the complete triumph
Of the arms of the allies, They must
be In position to name the terms, and
until they are the fight must go on.
Every citizen must have this fact firm
ly fixed In his imnd. There can be no
peace without complete victory.
Having done this we can give the
boys who are to be called to the colcrs
next month a hearty cheer as they
march away and assure them that our
hearts our hopes and our help are all
with them. They are called to make
the supreme sacrifice, and we who are
left behind must not fail in the sac
riflces we will be called upon to make,
About the time they march away to
the training camps there will be
started great drive for subscrip-
tons to Liberty bonds anywhere from
$4,000, 100000 to $4,000, 100000. This
will call for a financial sacrifice such
as we have not had to meet before,
but even this is little compared with
what the boys "over there" are MAX
ing. Keep this fact in mind, Money
is the measure of our sacrifice; life
itself Is the measure of theirs.
"A little later, perhaps in May, the
Red Cross will ask for another $780,
100000 and it must be Forthcoming
We are in the war to win, and the
work of the Red Cross is just as es-
sential as ships and munitions, 1t
may be your father, your son or your
brother whose life depends upon the
relief work of the Red Cross, and UNI
der such circumstances you can not
stop to count the cost. Give and give
literally.
There can be no peace without vic
tory. Respond to every call of your
country, whether it be for men or for
money, with a brave heart and liberal
purse He has sounded forth a trum-
pet that can never call retreat" Buy
Liberty bonds, give TO the Red Cross
and save food all the time.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS A REPUB.
LIcAN CONGRESS.

Suggestions for partisan senat-
orlal and congressional elections,
which emanate from source close to
the national administration, have not
heen received with noticeable enthusi-
asm, if one may judge by newspaper
comments on the subject. The idea
seems to be that while the war is on
political issues should not be inter-
posed to divert the public mind from
the supreme question of winning the
war, but the advocates of nom partisan
elections fail to show wherein a po-
litiacl contest will interfere with wal
plans or divert support from the gov
eminent. The war is not an issue
for in all essential respects both re-
publicans and democrats are loyalty
back of the administration. AS mat
ter of fact, the good faith of the ad-
ministration may well be questioned
In this matter of non partisan cleo
tions. While this proposal is being
put forward by men presumed to re-
present the president, the democratic
national committee is most active in |
campaign work, members of the pres
ident's cabinet, notably the postmaster
general, are using their official posi-
democratic party. The thousands of |
new positions which are the outgrowth
OF the war are with rare exceptions
filled by democratic appointees, and
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-03-14

not move has been made that indi-
Gates a nom partisan disposition on
the part OF the democratic organiza-
ton.
The evident intention of the presi-
dent and his official family to make
this democratic war. so far as APP
pointments are concerned, has created
a feeling that Is ,not confined to re-
publicans that it would be a good
thing to have both the senate and
house in control of republicans. This
would not Jeopardize support for the
president in all war measures, be-
cause the republicans in congress
have shown themselves even more
loyal to the president than the demo-
Gratis in supporting policies necessary
for the success of the war. Republic
can control would make congress a
truly representative body during the
critical period of the war and force
the president to give attention to the
counsel of the opposition both on the
great questions in connection with
the war and those which will follow
the conclusion of peace. Domestic
questions of the greatest Importance
will also be up for consideration, and
a republican congress would bring a
feeling of security that will not be
obtained IL the democrats retain con-
troll of both houses. Republicans
should not listen to this non partisan
talk, but should rather grid up their
loins for a determined fight for re-
publican majority in the senate and
house.

The Manchester, England, Guard
ian says that the British output of
cotton goods is hardly two thirds of
what 1t was before the war, and that
a great part of it goes for military
requirements. Shades of Dick Ark
wright! Inasmuch as Great Britain
increased her sales of cotton cloths in
our market 100 per cent, 1917 over
1918, what would have been the fate
of our cotton textile mills had there

WORKERS WITH BRAIN AS WELL
AS Drawn.

Now Mr.. Schwab says he was mis-
quoted He never predicted a reign
of bolsheviksm in this country, as
has been said. What he said was
that he believed this country would
in the future be ruled by the people
who work." meaning by that the peo-
pie who work with their hands, with
tools and with their brains. We have
ALWAYS supposed that to be the case
in the United States anyway. 1t has
been only within the past few years
that school of opinion has been made
strong which believes that the only
real worker is the one who works
with his hands and that no other class
is entitled to any consideration at all
That is vicious theory, of course.
The workers who work with, their
hands may be the most numerous
among the working classes, and If
they are all united in any cause that
cause is bound to triumph through
the might of majorities which still
prevails in this country. But the fact
is that some of the hardest workers
and some of the most essential work.
ers are those whose hands have never
borne callous. The republican par
ty when it was in power never exalted

Letters Home

Soldier he was-and a good one, too
Though you may wonder just how knew
That his was heart well steeed to test
The enemys bravest, truest, best.
Twas this that made me know his worth
AS one of the sturdy sons of earth !
He was tired today when drill was done
For he had been up before the sum-
Yet toll was turned to new delight
There We're letters home he had to write.
Letters to prove--as they only can
The tender side of a martial man.
He would ease with jokes their anxious fears,
He would dry with smiles their ready tears
He would make the old folks think back home
That war only hippodrome.
He would speak of camp as chummy thing
Where comrades loiter and laugh and sing.
He wrote and wrote-and his heart grew glad =
Well after all, wasn't bad
1t had brought to him good comrades new
To cherish with friends he was writing to.
So he grinned and pledged the Flag new might
And grinners are hell when they start to fight
