NEW YORK, October S.-As far

ance of this high-necked, long-sleeved
coat would suggest that blouses are
at discount. They may be worn
as corset covers, but they will never

The Miner hopes to see the three can
didates named without opposition and
will be glad to assist In electing them.
We say this not merely because they
live in north Idaho. but because they
are known to be well equipped for
the positions and for that reason are
deserving of support. The geograph-
ical argument which was used success
fully in recent elections, and which Is
now being advanced as the chief re-
lance of other candidates, in the OPP
inion of the Miner has its limitations
The requirements Of candidate for
state office should be character and
qualification first and having these,
his geographical location should be
given due weight From this stand
point the candidates who have been
for the three state offices
Ire entitled to and we believe will re-
'eive the united support OF republi-
.ans of north Idaho.

London, May G. Lieutenant General
Sir Robert Baden Powell, addressing
central meeting of Boy Scouts at
Guildhall, told of work done by French
Boy Scouts in the neighborhood of the
fighting line. A heroic deed by one
French Boy Scout was described in a
letter found on the body of dead
German. General Baden Powell read
the letter, which follows:
"A traitor has been shot-a little
French lad belonging to one of those
gymnastic societies which wear the
tri-color button. The poor little fel-
low in his infatuation wanted to be
hero. A German column was pas

boy was caught and asked whether the
French were about. He refused to
give information. Fifty yards further
on fire was opened from the cover of
the wood. The prisoner was asked
in French if he had known that the
enemy was in the forest, and he did
not deny it. He went with firm step
to a telegraph post and stood up
against it, with a green vineyard be-
hind him. and received the volley of
the firing squad with a proud smile on
his face. infatuated boy; it was a
pity to see such wasted courage"

MINERS PROTEST.
Mining and Scientific Press.)

Operators of mines in Utah have
taken steps to protest against the in
CT ease in railroad freight rates
amounting to rs per cent. A tele-
gram has been sent to Mr.. McAdoo,
director general of railroads, explain
ing that such an increase in the cost
OF transportation will hinder the pro-
duction of the low grade fluxing ores
needed for smelling and cause the
shutting down of many mines. From
Colorado likewise we hear that this in
creased burden to be placed upon the
mining industry is viewed with con-
sternation in a region where so much
OF the output goes to the smelters and
therefore is dependent largely upon
low freight rates. At this time when
the waging of a great war calls for
an intensive production of metals and
it is a blunder, we suggest
to do anything likely to diminish the
necessary supply. This is no time to
make good showing for the railroad
administration at the expense of an
industry.

CONSPIRACY OF

deviltry OF that organization and the
dabolical designs of the leaders who
II Is hoped will soon have punishment
meted out to them in keeping with the
enormity of their crimes And yet we
know that 80 far as this trial is con-
cerned adequate punishment will be
impossible. While these men are not
being tried for treason the evidence
shows conclusively that they are
guilty of this heinous crime and the
only punishment that will satisfy the
ends of justice is death on the gal
lows. In all parts of the country and
particularly In the west, sabotage was
taught and practiced for the purpose
of tying up industry and paralyzing
the efforts of the government in pre-
pairing for war Even the army itself
did not escape, a private soldier tes-
tifying that he had been requested by
an l. w. w. leader to place sub

stopping the production of lumber

been shown that the leaders were in
close touch with agents of Germany
and that much of the atrocious work
was rewarded by German gold, Any
OF these offenses in time of peace
should be punished by the severest
penalties but in time of war they can
be defined as nothing but treason and
the perpetrators should be made to
pay the penalty of that crime. Nor

The extent to which the operations

on the big central station that was
being built up Canyon creek, about
mile from the city. Work has
also been suspended on the new trunk
line the company was building from
The Post Falls plant to this district

'WATCHFUl WAITING" IN THE
CO.'S RECALLED.

1t is hard for Congressman David
A. Hollingsworth Of Ohio to reconcile
himself to the recent act of congress
authorizing the erection in the city of
washington Of statue to the mem
DRY of President Buchanan. Mr. Hol-
lingsworth enlisted in the first months
of the civil war at the age of sixteen
and has vivid recolections of those
trying times. He recalls the fact
that Buchanan sat complacently in the
White House and watched the gov
eminent he had sworn to defend drift
away until four years of bloody war
fare was necessary to bring it back,
What makes the matter the more ex-
asperating in the eyes of Mr. Holdings
worth Is the fact that the democratic
congress has refused a modest mon
ument to General Custer who led the
last charge at Appomattox. Repre-
sentative Hollingsworth does not hes

GERMAN SUBMARINES ON THE
ATLANTIC COAST.

If the Germans believed that the ap-
pcarance of U-boats along the At
lantic coast and the sinking OF any
number of ships would brighten the
American people and weaken their
determination to force the fight against
the beast of Berlin," 1t simply shows
how unable the German mind is to
understand the American spirit. So
far from weakening our determination
1t simply stirred our lighting blood and
strengthened the resolution to utilize
every ounce Of strength and resources
until this menace to civilization is
driven from the sea; until Prussian
niilitarism is forever crushed, and its
beneficiaries, together with the Ger
man people who hunbly serve their
imperial master, are transformed into
'hewers of wood and drawers of vat
err" Stunned by all nations which
stand for liberty and justice, doomed
to brood over the black and barbarous
past that brought them to that con-
dition, and without one ray of hope
for redemption from a fate so justly
merited.
In spite Of submarines that harass
the sea lanes, American soldiers are
landing in France more rapidly than
ever before and now number almost a
million. Ships are being built at
rate beyond expectation, supplying
new tonnage in excess of that destroy
ed by U-boats when the German
pirates had almost free hand; thuus-
ands Of aircraft will soon be manned
by American aviators, while every |
state in this glorious union is respond |
ing to the call for more men with a
loyal enthusiasm that means death to
autocracy and the establishment of |
human liberty throughout the world.
This is the answer the American peo-
pie send to the kaiser in reply to his
submarine messengers on the Atlantic
coast.

The main point to be emphasized is
that this work does not overlap any

A German statistician figures it out
this way: When the war began, the
national wealth of the German empire
was $s75OO,OOO, 900. To this in the
meantime there have been added
thirty-two and a half billions through
the issue of government obligations
and the increase in agricultural land
values. On the debit side only ten
billions must be deducted for con-
sumption of stocks and loss of Ger
man property misunderstanding the ma
tional wealth Of the country today at
$50, 900, 100000. The deduction from
reasoning like this is that nation. in

NORTH IDAHO CANDIDATES ON
THE STATE TICKET.

There appears to be feeling amoni
the republicans of north Idaho in fav,
OF of eliminating primary contests fol
positions on the state ticket In order
to concentrate the vote of the NORTH
as means of securing fair represen-
tation to this section of the state. Al
this time there are three announced
republican candidates for state office
namely, Roy l.. Black, of Occur
d'Alene. for attorney general; w. w.
Won Canon, of Standpoint, for secre-
tary of state, and Miss Redfeld, of
Lewiston, present incumbent, for
superintendent Of public instruction.
All Of these have received the endorse
ment of the party in their own coun-
ties and in other counties also, and
indications are that they will receive
the solid support OF republicans of
the north. With this showing of
strength il Is regarded probable that
there will be no candidates for these
positions in the south. that section
~ esumably being content with the
candidate for governor and other posi-
tons on the state ticket. If this plan
works out there will be no contests for

candidates will therefore be spared

not alone by the candidates, but by |
the people generally, who are wholly
occupied in helping to win the war

And rising eastward bring new day

Those western skies burn golden bright,
With what note the birds will sing,
And winters self be turned to spring
Than any springtime sweeter far,
