THE BOYS IN FRANCE

DULY APPRECIATlVE, BUT He
CAN'T REciPRoCATE AS
THEY SUGGEST.

Soldiers from Shoshone county
serving in France eagerly waited for
the returns from the election last fall
and were evidently not troubled with
any fear that a republican victory
would result in weakening the support
of the president in the prosecution of
the war. Their feelings We're quite
the contrary, if one may judge by the
tone of letters written after the news
of republican success had been re-
ceived Last week Sheriff elect j. II.
Scott received novel letter Of cop-
CALCULATIONS from a bunch of the
Shoshone county boys in France, of
which he is very proud, although it
contains request with which he will
find it impossible to comply. In antic-
ipation Of their return to home and
native land at an early date, the boys
are picturing in their minds the noisy
reception that awaits them and the
big feed and smoker that is In store
for them soon after their arrival. In
order that no detail may be overlook
ed, they make it plain to Mr.. Scott,
who will be the high sheriff at that
time, that it will be necessary, in or
der to make the affair complete sue

for the occasion a liberal supply OF

The practical and immediate con-
sideration is that whatever scheme
for a league of nations now abides IN
the inner chambers of the president
mind-and his speech yesterday u
the british league of nations union
added not a particle to public knoWi-
edge of his thoughts or Intentions
persistent attempt to embody 1t IN tae
treaties of peace would surely post
none the conclusion and proclamation
of peace for an indefinite period II
might be months, it might De Ior
wears il might even be till the Greek
kalends.
That in itself affords sufficient JUS
tifcation for the attitude OF those
leaders in the United States senate
the body which must finally accept OF
reject the league of peace submitted
to the senate by President Wilson al
ter he has made it something more
than the mere phrase it now is IN MS
outgiyings-those senator's who with
Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Knox insist that
the project shall come to them on its
merits and not be forced upon them
as a rider to the treaties of peace.
But any such proposals to bind this
nation by contract to an indefinite
future of ENHANCEMENT in European
politics, of armed intervention in for
eign affairs not Immediately concern
ing us, must inevitably suggest rea-
sons for extreme caution: reasons
broader and deeper than those OF leg
islative convenience.
Can any American who loves his
country above all the rest of the
world forget that there are other
ideals than those of world service, OF
| international socialism, of universal
brotherhood and of primary allegi-
ance to common humanity?
| Greater even than the Monroe Doc
trne is the Washington doctrine, i'm
pressively formulated in his last mes
sage of counsel to the American peo-
pie reaflirmed in the clear and con
else phraseology of Jefferson and in
the ringing periods of Daniel Web
ster's Incompatible eloquence why
quit our own to stand upon foreign
ground? Why, by Interviewing oul
destiny with that of any part of Eu-
rope, entangle our peace and prosper
| ity in the tolls of European ambition
rivalship, interest, honor or caprice.
1t is our true policy to steer clear OF
permanent alliances with any portion
of the foreign world"
A hundred and twenty-five years
later we can see not only that this is
| the true policy of the United States
from every point of view of nationa
common sense, but also that it Is the
very quintessence of the American
spirit, the traditional principle which
has made the great western republic
what it is today.

IN BOISE.

1t is hardly a month now until Lin
coins birthday, and If the republicans
of Shoshone county intend to cele-
brate the occasion with banquet it
Is time that preliminary steps should
be- taken to make the event a great
success. Every republican, and in
fact every true American, delights to
honor the memory of Abraham Lin
coin, and it is particularly appropri-
ate at this time on account of the
great republican victory in nation,
state and county. Next week the
county government will pass into the
hands of republican officers after
years of democratic rule, presenting a
situation which in itself Is worthy of
cans in the county Republicans gen.
orally feel that this is the beginning
of a long period of republican rule,
and banquet on Lincoln's birthday
will contribute toward keeping alive
the party spirit and maintain the or
ganzation in shape for effective ac :,

this purpose that the chairman of the
national committee urges frequent
meetings of the party in the county,

Placer and Quartz Mines.
Most of the placer mines of the state
are worked by the hydraulic system,
but the yield of gold in all forms OF
placer mines combined does not nearly
reach that of the dredges. There are
orly a little over 100 producing mines
in Oregon, including all classes, ana
the hydraulic mines are the most num-
erous OF the deep mines about 20
produce gold from siliceous ore, and
there are seven active copper prop

The largest proportion OF gold ana
ether metals in 1918 came, as usua/
from Baker county, which produces
annually about so per cent of the gold
mined in the state. Grant county
comes next in rank in gold production,
having exceeded Josephine county by
reason of its dredging industry.

Big Banquet in Boise.

In charge the annual Republican Lin

greatest observance of the day in
Boise this year that Idaho has ever
seen. The president of the associa-
ton, Col. Judson Spofford announces
that arrangements are being complet-

republican leaders from all parts of
the state at the banquet, This will
include the various state officers,
members of the legislature and lead
ing republicans from all portions of

Col. Spofford says the idea of the
association this year Is to extend a
general invitation to every republican
in the state. No matter how numer-
Gus the attendance, arrangements will
be made for their entertainment,
The program this year will include
an address on the life and works of
Lincoln by J. B. Eldredge of Boise,
and an address on "Republicanism
Its Aims and Accomplishments" by
Frank r. Gooding, of Gooding. 1t is

Australia Ia thinking about making
subscriptions to war loans compulsory.
New Zealand, a neighbor of the Aug
tralians are considering the same plan.
Awhile back dispatches from Mel
bourne outlined some of the Difficult
ties the Australians were having with
putting over an after-the-war loan that
Is just as badly needed in that coun-
try as our Victory Loan is in America.
Australians have never failed, at any
time during the war, to respond with
enthusiasm to the demands of their
leaders. They subscribed to loans
through four years while Americans
have at the most had no more than
two years of war strain and war loan
subscriptions to think Of
But the effect of peace was rather
curious in Australia. People wanted
to forget about the necessity of keep
ing the financial pot boiling. This
tendency has not been manifested In
the United States, but such an at
utude might have been possible had
the men and the money of the nation
been placed under such a strain as the
weaker Australian commonwealth has
borne.
in explaining the situation, Mr..
watt, the federal treasurer of the Aus
trallan commonwealth, said: at Is
clear that the immense sums required
cannot be provided by a section of
the community, large as that section
may be. The money must be found
and the help Of all the people will be
required. The government, therefore.
las decided to introduce legislation
requiring all persons to subscribe To
war loans in proportion to their
means"
In this country public opinion and
national individual self respect have
done what Australia's compulsory pro-
posal would do for that country. In
America, a mans standing depends
somewhat upon his support of the

cordial working union of all COM

Shawls may be the fashion of next

shawls that have made their bow be-
