AMERICA MUST REMAIN ITS OWN
MASTER.

Those who insist that the league of
rations as submitted to the senate by
President Wilson shall not be chang
ed and profess to believe that its &C.
cepiance without reservation is the
only safeguard against war, equally
contend that those who oppose its ac-
ceptance are opposed to this country
becoming a party to any plan or
agreement having for It's purpose the
prevention Of war. This is a wholly
unfair and unwarranted conclusion.
All enlightened and right -thinking
people desire to prevent war, and
those who oppose the presidents lea
que are just as honest and earnest in
their efforts in that respect as those
who so urgently favor 1t. The oppon-
ents Of the league believe that an
agreement can be reached among the
of the world for the settlement
Of international disputes which will
provide means for the enforcement Of
decisions, but which will still recog-
nize and preserve the independence
Of action Of all nations. In other
v ords, while willing to cooperate IN
preserving the peace of the world, the

CREDIT FOR SUSPENSION OF AS.
sEssMENT WORK.

A letter from Francis Jenkins, OF
Moscow, an old-time resident OF
Wardner, la this kindly comment on
the work of the Miner in connection
with the suspension OF assessment
work this year:
Il feel that the mining public is
very much indebted to the Miner
for its good work in putting off
assessment work for the current
year. At least / appreciate your
efforts and I take this means to
thank YOU"
The Miner greatly appreciates this
expression from one who was long
prominently connected with the min
ing operations of this district and who
still retains valuable mining interests
here. Similar expressions have been
received from numerous other friends
Of the Miner, for all of which this pa
per Is uily app ctiallNS. ,iliuiuiN We
believe that the work of the Miner in
advocating the suspension of the as
sessment law had a direct influence in
accomplishing that result, but the eff
forts of the Miner as well as that Of
all other agencies In the mining dis
tricts of the west would have proved
futile had it not been for the active
and watchful cooperation of Con-
gressmen Burton L. French and Addi-

THE TIME FOR COMPROMISE HAS
PASSED.

There was a time before the vote
was taken on the treaty and league OF
nations when 1t was possible for the
supporters Of the president to have
effected a compromise with the OPP
%ponents of the league, and thus in
sured the ratification of the treaty
with Germany. If they had been left
to exercise their own will in the mat
ter. it is more than probable that an
agreement would nave been reached
which would have been satisfactory
to two -thirds of the senators, the
number necessary to ratify the treaty.
But the president interposed his will
in the form of a letter to democratic
senators, and with a few notable ex-
ceptions the will of the president is
law to the democrats. The letter
from the president did more than
merely line the ueilocTdls up W Fote
as the president dictated; it stirred
bitter resentment among republicans
and a considerable number of demo
Gratis who place the welfare of coun-
try above party advantage. The sen
ate shares the responsibility with the
president in the ratification of treat
les. 1t is not subject to the dictation
of the president, for it stands on the
same level with him, a coordinate
branch Of the government, response
BILE to the people, not to the president,
for its acts, 1t is therefore natural
that senator's should entertain a feel
ing of resentment toward the presi-
dent for his attempt on the eve of a
vote on the treaty to influence sena-
tors In the performance of this high
duty. The letter from President Will
son urging democratic senators to
vote against all reservations and to
vote for the instrument in the form
that it came from his hands was the
final attempt to force the senate to
accept his will. 1t failed, and in the
failure 1t has strengthened the lines
of reservationists, and also those un-
compromising patriots who are OPP
posed to the league of nations in any
form. Under these circumstance
the president and his friends can hope
for no concession; they are confront
ed with accepting the treaty and the
league with the Lodge reservations, or
permitting it to remain a corpse as II
Is today. In the meantime If both
houses pass a c%oncurrent resolution
declaring peace with Germany, the
people will soon forget the league of
nations and return devout thanks
that they escaped it's entangling
meshes.

PUNISH AND DEPORT ENEMIES
OF GOVERNMENT.

From all over the country a demand
is being made upon congress to enact
laws specifically defining sedition and
fixing a punishment for the crime. The
failure of the government to ade-
quately deal with the red radicals who
are endeavoring to foment revolution,
both through the inefficiency of the
present laws and the sympathy of
those in official authority with the Sc
ditious element, has brought about an
alarming condition which calls for
1t is not enough to deport the alien
anarchists, If the proof Is clear that
they have been actively ~conspiring
against the government, it matters not
under what name-I. W. W., bolshevik,
parlor ~bolshevik, or just common an
archist-they are guilty of treason,
and the penalty OF treason is death.
Why deport them and take the chance
of having them return under some as
sumed name, or even permit them to
carry on the poisonous propaganda in
some other country? If this measure
seems too extreme, then at least i'm
pose some adequate punishment on
aliens before deporting them. AS to
foreign -born citizens who are proved
guilty of sedition, the law should pro-
vide for denaturalizing them. impose
heavy punishment upon them, and aft
ter they have served their term, ship
them back to the land from which
they came. The ~ex-soldiers of Sho-
shone county are doing excellent work

element, Their attitude was vigor-
ously expressed in resolutions recent

ONE ESSENTIAL RIGHT WAS
OMITTED.

In his address as the representative
of President Wilson formally opening
the labor conference, Secretary OF
Lbaor Wilson used these words:
The right of any man to cease
working for another for any reason
that is sufficient to himself Is the
basic element of human liberty.
The right of any person to refuse
to operate his plant at any time
he desires to do so Is the exercise
of a property right guaranteed by
the constitution"
So far as we know the principles
here stated have never been disputed.
They can not be denied without VOL
ating the principles written in h De-
c~laration of independence and guaran-
Iteed by the constitution 1t was high
~ proper that the secretary should
draw the attention of the conference
to these principles, for in undertake
ing the work the president had laid
out for the conference it was neces-
sary to keep them ever in view, But
there Is a third principle oil PROPOSE
ton which Secretary Wilson omitted
to state; in fact, it should have been
stated as the first of three. 1t is the
right of any man to work for another
upon any terms satisfactory to him
self. from which follows as a corol-
larry the right of any man to cease
working for another for any reason
that is sufficient to himself, as stated
by the secretary of labor. Both are
absolutely sound, nave been written
into the laws of our country, n
both, In the language of Secretary
Wilson, are basic elements of human
liberty. But the secretary, spokesman
flor the president, mentioned only one
of them-the right to cease working,
or in every day language. the right to
strike. Does Secretary Wilson uphold
the practice of preventing men from
working in plants or places where a
strike has been called, where men have
exercised their right to cease work
lng?" If he does not, why then did he
not mention the companion basic ele-
ment of human liberty" the right of
any man to work for another upon
any terms satisfactory to himself?
Explaining the practical application
OF the principles quoted, Secretary
Wilson said;
1T does not follow that because
these rights exist 1t is necessary
to exercise them. They nus
nevertheless be safeguarded. Hav-
ing done that and having devised
the machinery by which justice
can be secured and by which
everybody at interest has the OPP
portunity of knowing that justice
has been secured. it is not likely
that the right to cease work will
be exercised by sufficient num-
beers. or the right to cease operat-
ing industrial plants will be car
ried to such an extent as to seri-
ously affect the welfare of the
balance of the people"
In view of the coal strike which has
brought untold misery and loss to the
people of the country, it would be in
teresting TO know if Secretary Will
son still regards 1t as mot likely that
the right to cease work will be exer-
'cised by sufficient numbers as
to seriously affect the welfare of the
balance of the people,
