without expenditure, the idea being
that after performing assessment
work for a certain number Of years,
or being granted exemption, claim
owners are entitled to patent. AS a
matter of fact, the contention Of the
claim owners was that owing to the
depressed condition in metal mining.
the shortage of labor and the excess
i've cost of labor and supplies, par
ticularly the latter, claim owners
should be relieved OF the expense this
year. 1t was shown that under these
conditions the amount OF work ac-
&C mplished for the money expended
would be hardly more than half what
| it would be under more favorable
conditions. 1t is certainly to be hop
ed that congress will now grant the
full exemption. Many will not re-
ceive the benefit because they have
performed their work on excess
claims, but many will get the ad-
vantage OF it, while all will be reliev-
ed of the possibility OF legal en-
tanglements ii the five-claim law is
permitted to stand.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE WILL HAVE
TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR.

Reports from Boise indicate that
strong efforts are being made to IN
duce Governor Davis to call spe-
cial session of the legislature for the
purpose of ratifying the constitution
al amendment granting suffrage to
women, and it has been stated that
the governor is disposed to do SO.
or course there is no doubt that the
legislature will ratify the amendment
when the time comes, but there Is
nothing in the situation at this time
to justify special session. Natur-
ally the women want to be qualified
to vote in the coming presidential
election. The amendment has been
approved by the legislatures OF ID
states and rejected by 3. To become
effective it must be ratified by the
legislatures of three -fourths of the
states, or &c. Favorable action is
therefore required by 20 more states.
The legislatures of nine states meet
in regular session next year and If all
of these should ratify the amendment
there would still be IL states short
and the only chance to get these
would be to persuade the governors
to call special sessions for the pur-
pose Of ratifying the amendment
and even then there would be no pos
tive assurance that the action would
be favorable. If it could be shown
that ratification of the suffrage
amendment by the Idaho legislature
would insure it's final adoption In
time for the women to vote next year
public sentiment in Idaho would ne
doubt support Governor Davis II
calling the legislature together. But
that is not at all probable; in fact, Il
is reasonably certain that there will
not he sufficient number of states
take action to adopt the amendment
before the election, and thus Idaho
would have nothing to show for thu
heavy expense of special session.
States which have ratified the ma.
tional suffrage amendment are Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas
New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu.
sets, Texas. Iowa, Missouri, Arkan'
sas, Montana, Nebraska, Minnesota
New Hampshire and Utah. The thret
states which have turned it down are
Alabama, Georgia and Virginia.

WE'RE COMING, MR.. PRESIDENT,
1oo,0oo,OO STRONG.

Because of a difference of opinion
in the technical construction Of the
terms OF working contract, John L.
Lewis, acting president of the United
Mine Workers Of America, proposes
to absolutely stop the production of
coal in the United States as means
of forcing the coal operators to ad-
vance wages go per cent, reduce the
working time to six hours per day
from bank to bank" and five days a
week To accomplish this he would
cut off the supply of fuel and thus
stop the wheels of industry and trans
portation throughout the country and
literally freeze and starve the people
as means of forcing the concessions
demanded.

the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, announces tndt IL cOHbieSS

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
called a conference of the heads of all
international unions affiliated with
the federation and the heads of the
big Four brotherhoods to meet in
Washington on December 10 to con-
slider calling a general strike of all
unions in the event congress passes
the pending anti-strike law, Mr.,
Gompers having announced inferen-
TALLY at least that he will not be
bound by such law.

RED CROSS PREPARES FOR SER.

Having in mind as its foremost
task the completion of its obligations

turning its attention largely to a pro-

Red Cross announces a membership

armistice.

sections blasted by the war is neces-

along with it's appreciation of practi-
cal needs at home, and but for con-
gressional transfer to the Red Cross
of a quantity of medical and supple

would be urgent for the Red Cross to
appeal for large sum.
Fundamentally it is to be an Am
erican campaign in the interest OF
systematic preparedness for home
service operations-a widespread
home nursing plan, and for emergen-
cy or disaster relief.
1t is an American roll call--an hon

To attempt to answer the arrogance
of these labor chiefs by reminding
them of the high wages they received
during the war and are still receiving
would be waste of time, for it has
long been evident that they are gov
erned not by what they are justly en-
titled to, but by what they can force
employers to pay. They are contin-
ually demanding more wages to meet
the increased cost of living, knowing
as every intelligent man knows, that
the high wages they are receiving is
one of the chief factors in the high
living cost and that for them to de-
mand reduced living expenses and
higher wages at the same time Is q
fair illustration OF the man who at
tempts to lift himself by his boot
straps, Organized labor received
much praise for it's loyal service dur
ing the war. Now, when the prob
lens of peace are even more grave
and threatening, when the safety OF
the republic is in greater jeopardy,
organized labor seems to have lost
sight of the first essential to Ameri-
can citizenship, loyal service, and
even now we hear the hiss of revolu-
ton We have long been accustomed
to hear that word in connection with
disturbances in far-away lands, but it
Is new in America, and unless we are
wholly mistaken in the temper of the
American people, it will cease to be
heard here while it is still new. Our
government provides the means to
settle all differences in an orderly
manner, and these men who talk
about laws enacted by congress as
providing logical argument for di-
rect action" will find by following
that suggestion that it will start a
counter direct action which will not
stop until all who defy the govern
ment are forced to acknowledge and
respect it's authority.

but they force every loyal citizen u

coal strike, President Wilson use'
these words:

These matters with which we now
deal touch not only the welfare
of a class, but vitality concern the
well being, the comfort and the
very life Of all the people. feel
1t Is my duty in the public inter-
est to declare that any attempt
to carry out the purpose OK this
strike and thus to paralyze the
industry of the country, with the
consequent suffering and distress
of our people, must be considered
a grave moral and legal wrong
against the government and the
people Of the United States. l

SHAME OF THE CITIES.
New York World)

How lynch lazy travesties justice in
all it's phases was shown at Knox
Vile, where a mob bent upon hanging
4 negro suspected on murder storm
ed the Jail SO successfully that Saw
eral white prisoners already convict
ed of that crime made their escape.
Incidentally many people were killed
or wounded, but the net results of
violence are more powerfully illus
trated by the empty cells of malefac
tors who got away.
In this case, as recently at Wash
ington and Chicago, there was a COM
plete failure of city government to
cope with serious disorder. Most of
our municipalities, when not given
over to demagogues and spoilsmen,
appear to be organized only for So
cial service. In the presence of a mob
their police officers are as helpless as
their school teachers or their hospital
internes. Where there should be Wig
or and severity we find usually moth
ing but timidity and indecision.
The lesson to be learned from
nearly all such riots is that the au-
thorlties must meet them boldly at
the outset. A few resolute men in
uniform, prompt in the performance
of their duty might have saved all of
these cities from lasting turmoil and
shame Hasty calls for troops only
adverties the impotence of ministers
fthe law and often serve to widen
the disturbance.
By reason of it's corruptions city
government in the United States has
long been reproach to the people.
Except as its administrators may be
in league with the lawless, what ex-
cuse can they give for cowardice?

TROUBLES AT HOME.
(Portland, Me-, Press)


There is much truth in some Of the
things the senator from Idaho
(Borah) says. Our intellectuals have
for months been concerning them
selves with the league of nations
when their efforts should have been
directed to finding solution for
problems which are nearer home and
OF more consequence to us. While
their eyes have been elevated to sur
vey the conditions across the water
and in other parts of the world there
have been other men who have de-
voted themselves to fomenting trou-
BILE at home. 1t is these domestic prob
lens which we must now undertake
to solve and unless solutions for them
are found this country will continue
tn suffer from conflicts between la
Dor and capital, from race riots and
lawaessness of all kinds.

just as important and binding as the
right of another man to quit and per-

DELAYED CORRECTION OF AS
SESSMENT LAW BLUNDER.

! 1t now seems reasonably certain
that congress will amend the resolu-
ton suspending assessment work on
five claims for the year 1919 by max
ing the suspension apply to all claims
1t is singular that men who are sup
posed to investigate thoroughly the
practical operation of proposed laws
before voting for or against them
five-claim resolution. In the first
place, it was perfectly apparent that
there was nothing to prevent evasion
OF the law, leaving the way open for
those having more than five claims to
secure exemption from assessment
work on all Of them, the very thing
which congress refused to sanction.
All that the owner of more than five
claims has to do under the five claim
law is to file his notice of intention to
hold five Of them and transfer the re-
mainder to some friend or friends,
depending upon the number of claims,
ton to hold the same under the pro-
visions of the resolution. Thus the
original and real owner of the claims
would escape doing assessment work
on all of them, although in direct
violation OF the intention of congress-
But the most confusing question
under the fve-claim resolution Is to
determine what constitutes five
claims. According to the ruling of
the interior department, any one
holding fractional interest in five
claims for which exemption from as
sessment is claimed has no right to
| file exemption on any other claims.
This interest may be in the form of
partnership ownership of claims or as
stock in an incorporated company.
When exemption is claimed for one,
all right to exemption for other in
terests ceases A little thought will
disclose how utterly absurd this rul-
ing is and what a fruitful field for lit
igation it opens up
1t was probably the discovery OF
these features Of the five-claim ex-
emption resolution that induced con-
gress to take up the question again
and extend its provisions to all min
ing claims 1t is unfortunate that
congress could not be induced to pass
the resolution in that form months
ago when very little assessment work
had been done and when relief was
badly needed. But many Of the con-
gressmen seemed to have the wrong
idea altogether Of the purpose of as
scssment work in the first place and
therefore the significance of suspend
ing the law. For example, objection |
was made in the committee on mines
and mining to granting the suspen-
sion because 1t would enable the own
ers to secure patent to their claims

What the president says regarding
the coal strike applies with equal
force to those who would resort to
similar methods to break down and
render void the laws of congress. AT
ter all, organized labor represents on
ly small fraction OF the population
of this country, and If through an ex-
aggerated notion of its own power, or
through being permeated with the
poison of /. w. W.ism, or through the
sinister influence of bolshevsm, it
undertakes to ignore the will OF the
majority, defy the legally constituted
authority, and impose its demands
upon the people through a deliberate
system of starvation, Industrial loss
and political ruin, the answer will be
just as it was nearly sixty years ago
when another president faced great
crisis, when another element Of the
population denied the authority Of the
national government. If the leaders
of labor persist in the course they
have outlined, the means to protect
the interests of the nation" will be
found in the ever-swelling chorus
from every state in this land of the
free, I'VE are coming, Mr., President
