BENEFITS OF WALKING.
cortland Express)

Walk, walk. walk, every day, and
while walking give the arms full play.
BY so doing the bones, blood, muscles,
nerves and brain will be kept in
healthy activity. Moreover, never
mind the weather. Take your exer-
cises, be the day wet or fine, hot or
cold. Above all. avoid sitting over a
fire. Nothing is more conducive to
senility" This is the prescription of
Sir Herman Weber. the eminent Eur
opean physician, who has just died at
the age of 95 years Certainly there
could be no better recommendation of
the virtue of walking than the life Of
Sir Herman.
Walking is something that can not
be overdone, and at the same time it
Is something that seems to be very
much out of fashion at the present
time. In this day of automobiles the
man who walks Is the exception. and
while the man in the motor car de-
rives vast amount Of benefit from
his trips into the country and through
getting his lungs pumped full Of fresh
air, he does not obtain the great va
riety Of health-g giving features that
come with walking.

FARMERS GETTING WISE TO THE
NoNPARTISAN LEAGUE.

The mask has been removed from
the nonpartisan league in Idaho. It
could not escape the charge of dis
loyalty with which it was confronted
during the campaign last year, and
the fact that it was proved to be
closely affiliated with the |. w. w. and
every other element that sanctioned
crime and was arrayed against the
government in peace as we'll as in
war, gave the loyal people of Idaho
an insight to its purposes which will
effectually prevent it from regaining
a menacing foothold in this state
again. That thousands of well mean
ing, reputable and loyal farmers were
misled into joining the organization
was known at the time the nonparti-
san league was at the peak of it's
strength, and if any proof Of this was
lacking it is afforded by the large
numbers who are abandoning the or
ganization since it's real purposes and
the character of its leaders have been
exposed. Possibly John w. Martin.
of Parma, Idaho, was one of these.
He is a well known and prosperous
farmer, and if he was not member,
he nevertheless speaks as one who
knows the inner workings Of the or
der. Mr. Martin says:
The nonpartsan league went
too far in that it became a goat
for the socialist and other wild
dreamers to ride on. and charged
large membership fees that went
to the socialist advocates, who
travelled over the country spread
ing Trotzky's doctrines.
''They drove away ten farmers
to every one who stayed with the
movement until after election"

mant for mnay years.
Then again there come the men
with money who say this is not the
time to invest in mines or in anything
else. They tell you that at this very
moment there is an uncertainty that
Is akin to depression. OF money there
is a-plenty and more; but until the
Victory loan is fully subscribed; un-
til the peace conference concludes its
labors satisfactorily; until the several
war crippled nations of Europe get
back into their stride, the people are
going to hang onto their cash, and
hang on grimly, and that is the truth.
Now is the time when all the people
in the world are living in a sort Of
expectant atmosphere, in a haze Of
bewilderment; there is hanging over
the universe a something indefinable,
yet clearly discernible and palpably
realistic. After all this has been shak-
en- off the money will come out of it's
hole and participate in the grand ex-
hibition Of good times, prosperity and
peace on earth.
There Is silver lining of the cloud
that has hung over the world for so
long. There is a silvery note in the
voice that proclaims better times just
ahead. Silver is coming into it's own.

MINING IN IDAHO.
(Boise Statesman)

(Boise Statesman)
Not only from the older mining dis
tricts, but from number of sections
recently prospected come reports in
dicating a revival in that industry in
this state. Idaho has not often been
affected by such rushes and booms
as have attracted capital and invest
ors miners and promoters to Califor-
mia, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico
and Alaska. The industry here has
depended a great deal upon the actual
display of developed wealth and proof
in the soundness of investment before
capital from outside has been inter-
ested. The development Of Idaho
mineral and metal resources as con-
sequence has been slower and has
been attended with degree of con-
sentative investment initiating
against the widespread prospecting
which would have made better known
the general mining resources.
Now, however, the promise seems
to be for starting up of number of
former producing mines in old camps
and the extension of prospecting
which may lead to development of
new districts. Recent sales of proper
ties, with the understanding that cap
ital for development is to be invested,
and the presence of a number of rep
resentatives of large mining compan-
les who are quietly looking over the
field, seems assurance that that field
of industry is to contribute great
share in the prosperity of Idaho in
the months to come.

THE MINERS soLAcE.
Engineering and Mining Journal)

Engineering and Mining JournaD
The cranks are assuming an atti.
tude Of belligerency. and the latest
proposal, made apparently in all SER
iousness, threatens to place smoking
among the offenses against the law.
Such an excursion into the rights of
free people can. of course, result
only in shipwreck; but, nevertheless,
the ventilation of the subject is per-
tinent, in view of the absurd claims
and contentious being made by the
sponsors of the new movement.
Liberties that are inimical to our
well-being or to the well-being of the
state are Instantaneous. The de-
cision with regard to alcohol was &C
cepted in good grace, and by the great
majority, as step in the right direc-
ton, and one which must inevitably
put the United States we'll ahead in
the race with other nations. But al
cohol is drug, and it's value as such
is mainly dependent on previous alb
stention. The ill-effects of immoder-
alton, on the mental, moral and ply
steal faculties, are too well known to
need reiteration. The results Of al
ccholic excess on national life are
such that it is imperative that those
whose inclinations are always under
firm control must sacrifice much Of
their personal liberty Of action to help
the nation to attain a high ideal of
national sobriety and progress
With tobacco no such i'll effects are
evident or likely, and an attitude of
prohibition with regard to smoking
can be regarded only as an altogether
unnecessary proposal to encroach up
on personal liberty, engineered by
group of persons whose purpose is to
deprive the remainder of humanity
of everything that appears, to their
jaundiced view, to be Objectionable.
Tobacco smoking can not be classed
among pastimes that are harmless,
for the simple reason that no such
category exists. If looked at from the
same queer angle, nothing-absolutely
lnothing-is harmless.
love for my Lady Nicotine" is
far from being degrading, and smok-
ing may we'll be classed among the
least Objectionable and least harmful
of the petty vices. To miners and
engineers in all parts Of the world
tobacco has been the one sure solace.
II soothes in loneliness, compensates
for disappointment, and is an outlet
for spleen. Who can deny the calm
ing influence of tobacco as factor in
cool reasoning, keen analysis, far-see-
ing judgment, and deliberate action?
Who can but admit that it helps to
that frame of mind that spirit of
peace and contentment, that Is so
eminently conducive to clear think
ing?
Mining engineers are accustomed to
weigh the pros and cons of any mat
ter with a view to ascertaining the
factors affecting the attainment of
the highest personal efficiency and
the greatest national credit and pro-
gress. Tobacco smoking never has
formed and never will form an OBJ
stacle to the achievement of either,
and public opinion will prevent con-
summation of the present inopportune
proposal for its compulsory abolition.

Democrats in this neck of the woods
who are strongly inclined to hope that
if any Republican is eiectad president,
1t will be Gov. Lowden, because they
know he is in touch with the needs
Of the great Mississippi valley and OF
the South as probably no other man Of
national reputation Is.
Gov. Lowden arrived in Memphis
Thursday morning to speak at the an
nual meeting of the Southern Alluvial
Land association. He was accompanied
by Joseph 7. Mason, who is a member
of the Lowden- for president campaign
committee, and thereby hangs a tale.
It. was only about the middle Of Octo-
her that the governors friends organ
lied that committee, of which Louis
g. Elliott, secretary of state of Illinois,
is chairman. But since then the Low
den boom has been growing nightly.
1t struck Tennessee before the end of
October, and seems to have swept the
| supporters of Gen Leonard A. Wood,
who rather had the edge up to that
time among Tennessee Republicans, of
their feet.
Political booms are popularity sup
posed to grow of their own momentum,
But newspaper men, at any rate, know
| better, This particular Lowden boom
Tin Tennessee has been directed largely
| by John w Farley of Memphis.
Mr. Farley is modest young man,
| but II one could look through hts let
| ter files, q surprising amount OF cor
respondenee would appear to have been
devoted to eulogy and argument as to
| Gov. Lowdan's peculiar fitness to lead
the Republicans in the next national
| campaign,
Some of those arguments are deeid-
eddy plausible, For example, Gov. Low
den, besides being a farmeF-part of
| the time--at home in Illinois, owns
| thousands of acres Of fertile soil Just
| across the river in Arkansas, some in
| Mississippi county some lower down in
Me valley, He also has big ranch
| down In Texas.
Which naturally, as he often visits
his plantations, has put him in touch
with Southern ideas and the Southern
viewpoint on many matters, Memphis
and West Tennessee and Chicago are
closely united commercially, and Gov
| Lawden Ia In close touch with the move
ment to Improve the Mississippi and re-
esta blish 1t as great artery of com
merce and with the development of the
allnvial lands in this, section.
incidentally, Mr. Mason was a very
busy man during the day comforting
with local Republicans and getting re-
ports AZ TO the sentiment in this Sec
ton
Naturally, Mr. Mason and the others
who are working for Gov LeWden's
nomination do not expect to secure sue
cess through Southern delegates alone,
but they claim that the governors
chances IN almost every state except
possibly in the east and New England,
are steadily improving,
