BIG AMERICAN INCOMES.
To be a millionaire was once
distinction. Today, in order to be
one of the truly elect, one must
have an income of million. In
1917 there were 141 persons in the
United States with an income of
81 ,000,0 900 or more. There were
315 incomes between 100000 and
81 900 900; $50 between 100000
and 100000; 2347 between $150,000
and 100000, and 1902 between
500, 900 and $15O,O0O. Yet the New
York Sun, apparently fearing lest
the publication of such figures have
an inflammatory effect on the pop
ulace, finds by mathematical calcu-
lation that if the total of these in
comes were distributed among the
whole population it would give every
body only about four cents day. In
other words, it would go about as far
toward making everybody millionaire
as army food will go toward reducing |
the cost of living. And the govern |
ment would be deprived of the con-
share of the swollen in
comes that it takes as taxes.-Spring

THE COEUR DALENE STRIKE.


The leading mines in the Occur
d'Alene district are closed because Of
strike of the miners, who demand
that they be paid for time spent
from portal to portal" which being
translated into English means that
their time counts and they draw pay
from their entrance in the outer por-
tai of the mine until they return to
the same place, and not from the
time they begin the work of producing
something for their employers.
The I. w. w. is now boasting that
it caused the strike and closed the
mines which were giving employment
to several thousand men at wages
that would have seemed fabulous
few years ago. Eight hundred miners
have left the district and are seeking
employment elsewhere The time lost
and money spent in transportation and
expenses of seeking work will amount
to more than the time lost between
the portals of the mines and the place
I he married men, men with fam
lies and homes. men who have an IN
terest in the upbuilding, prosperity
and success of the Occur d'Alene
er employment as the single men have
done. They must remain there in idle
ness, at heavy expense while the sim
gle men, who were probably more
strike than the married men, skip
OUT for pastures new"
Thus we have the spectacle of
great industry, one of the greatest in
the state, crippled and tied up, when
it could be producing millions of dol
lars a month and paying most of it for
wages and operating expenses, and
men who ought to be more interested
in building up than tearing down this
great industry, walking the streets in
idIeness and, for what?
What will these men have gained /
when work is resumed in one week |
or one month or several months? Sup |
pose they gain their point and get pay /
from portal to portal they will be
losers and heavy losers at that. They
have lost the confidence of the public,
have injured their employers, retarded
the progress of the state and crippled
one of it's greatest industries. They
will have been idle for a long time, at
heavy expense flor it is such men as
they who retard production and keep
up the high cost of living) and it will
probably take large part of the first
months pay to settle the bills con-
racted while they were idle.
1t seems strange that men will lend
to such schemes as this
That "floaters'' who have no interest
in a district or in its people, can in
luce men who have such an interest
o strike and injure themselves and
others. Yet we see such spectales all
90 often and the great pity is that the
men who call these strikes are not the
mes who suffer but, as usual, the
falls upon those who can

Although the plan was to have the

not always done, as the United
States can not expend more than
5000 a mile. In many cases
States have desired road improve
ment in particularly unfavorable To-
calities, and in these instances the
States have gladly paid the excess
costs Of construction. This accounts
for the discrepancy in the figures

intention of becoming teetotaIers. But they saw that drinking was bad business for the masses s Then the railroads and the factories of the north found it was bad business for them and they insti- tuted prohibition within themselves The wholesale houses discharged their tipping travelling saesmen These business had not in the slightest degree been influenced by the temperance workers or by their manufactured statistics" They did even ask for laws They made their own laws against the use of liquor and enforced them rigidly
 Their example and their experience had mighty effect upon the people who then for the first time were ready to listen the appeal the temperance workers. What good for a railroad a factory must be good for a community.
 It is that there are other causes of poverty. crime, insanity disease than liquor and doubt in time some of these other will be remedied, but there is no sense in waiting to until all of them be removed.
 We may admit that men not be made good by law but the law has always taken away far as possible opportunities for crimnality prohibits restricts the sale weapons used only by criminals such as brass knuckles, dirks and slung shots. No one is complaining against the law prohibiting the sale of dangerous drugs; of many devices used only for immoral purposes. We have always had laws to save from themselves.
 We have also had some foolish interfering laws called "blue laws" which prohibited innocent pleas ures and pastimes but they have never long sur vived But law which has behind it the sober sense of business is apt to be lasting

Why the Drouth

We find in exchange this incorporate ment on the activities of the Anti-saloon League which have been crowned with such signal success of late:
 The prohibition sentiment in this country that has coerced sef-seeng politicians into forcing upon the people the views of the Anti-Saloon League is very largely the product of widespread campaign of systematic lying in regard to the alleged injurious effects of the of alcoholic beverages. Manufactured statistics invented facts" and the founded assertions of shallow thinkers calling them selves scientists" have deceived many ll-neaning persons into believing that they were the truth.
 Ignorance of the real causes of poverty, crime, insanity and disease has led the minimizing into ac- ceptng the assertion made with no proof that they are due to the use of liquor. The fact that. these same evils exist, in even greater degree, in Moham- medan countries where all liquor is prohibited would to be of itself sufficient to the claims Of the prohibtonists
 When the scheme of making men good by law has been tried long enough to expose it's falsty on what will the good people" put the blame for the physical. social and moral evils which they fondly believe be abolished by the magic words Be it enacted?'
 We suppose that in the heat of their zeal advo- eates of prohibition have and then indulged in sxaggeration. Propagandists are prone to present lhe strongest possible arguments and their enthusi- often carries them beyond the territory of facts But every man of observation knows from what he himself has seen something of the and suffering traceabe directly to the use of alcoholic liquor
 There is perhaps not a man in all the United States who does not have personal knowledge of many homicides which would not have been com mtted but for the spurring on of alcohol There is not a community in which one or more families have not been kept want and ignorance by liquor There Is hardly any where a community in which the ruin of young girl has been traceabe to intoxicants
 Every asylum in the land has inmates whose mental overthrow was brought about by the excessive use Of stimulants.
 We do not believe all that we have heard fror, the temperance lecturers and we have never baan much impressed by what the scientists" have told us but we all know what we have seen ourselves and that has been sufficient It is not the Tying" the Anti-Saloon League and other temperance organiza- ions that has soldfed sentiment against the liquor industry.
 These leagues and associations have not only organized a nationwide but ,lnorganized sentiment. they brought together the scattered experiences and observations of the people
 So long as the temperance question was only q moral question liquor had nothing to fear It was when it began to be business question that the began That really began in the southern states only forty years ago. The men who. made the laws were for the most part drinking men andgIfad 10
