this fall Republicans generally we
believe will welcome the issue. Most
of those who have favored the accept
ance Of the treaty with reservations
have been actuated by what they re-
garded as patriotic motives, believing
that American interests were protect
ed and that the ratification of the
treaty would accomplish much to-
ward the restoration of normal condi-
tions at home and throughout the

anthony from abroad under nor
NAL trade conditions, and keep
our own deposits intact as a re-
serve in case our overseas supply
should be cut off in future wars"
This suggestion is in perfect har-
mony with the democratic free trade
policy which consistently operates to
the advantage of the foreigner and
against the domestic producer The
suggestion that our antimony depos-
its be held intact for use in case of
another war borders on the ridiculous.
The war just closed was the first in
our national existence in which the
supply Of anthony was a matter Of
concern, and certainly there is moth
ing at this time to justify this far
fetched anticipation Of another war
emergency. Evidently the bureau of
mines is not impressed with the beat
ific prospect presented by the presi-
dents league Of nations. The bureau
evidently assumes that the known an
timony deposits in several states is
the limit Of this resource, and no
doubt they will be if its recommends
ton is adopted, for there would be no
inducement to search for other depos-
its if the demand for the metal is
made dependent upon the country be-
coming involved in another world war.
A reasonable tariff should be placed
On anthony in its various forms,
ariff that would represent the differ
snce between cost of production in
his and foreign countries. This would |

igner in the American market would |

ial encouragement to the discovery

Although lifelong republican,
Herbert Hoover says he is now man
without party and that he will sup
port the party that comes out for the
league of nations. He is not a can
didate for president, but a few of his
foolish friends in both parties insist
upon making him their candidate A
man who disclaims allegiance to both
parties and yet is regarded as an eli
gible candidate of either is not the
type of man that is required for pres

ENToMBED MINERS FAITH.

Engineering and Mining JournaD
Edgar Allen Poe in his story. The
Cask of Amontillado" begins with the
mention Of unredressed injuries and
Fortunato's weakness for wine. 1t
continues with a description of the de-
scent and journey through the cata-
combs of the Montresors In search for
a mythical pipe of wine. Then TO the
reader there is partial revelation of
the real purpose Of the journey by the
claiming of Fortunate to the damp,
inter crusted walls of a hidden vault
At first there are the earmarks OF
joke, and the victim 50 interprets it,
but with the uncoverng of the build
ing stone and mortar and the laying
of tier on tier of stone, the grimness
of the whole situation is gradually
evolved. The story is not pleasant
one. 1t is told with consummate art.
1t leaves one filled with horror both at
the deadliness Of the revenge and at
the method taken to consummate it.
Thousands Of miners leave the light
Of day and go down into shafts to
their working places. Sometimes there
is jocular cry to the eager of "cut
the rope and let her go" but few men
think OF the risks nor of what the day
may have in store for them. Miners
are u hearty, jovial crew. Neverthe- /
less there are tragedies and narrow
escapes from fatality that in them
selves are full of human interest, al
though not precisely in the way of |
Poe's story.
Eliminate the revenge feature and /
the personal element, and there is /
similar situation in the sudden i'm /
prisonment Of two miners recently at /
fourteen days they were prisoners
while their fellow workers made des-
perate efforts to reach them. The
miners were p. p. Grant and Emil
SaykO. According to the newspaper
account, Sayko said, after their res
cue, that the only time the entombed
men felt completely discouraged was
when a second cave-in came and the
work stopped for a few minutes There
were black hours until they heard the
water trickle and they went almost
wild with delight when the diamond
drill broke through from above.
Almost every mining district has its
tale of similar accidents and similar
efforts on the part of fellow workers
to effect rescue. The question may
well be asked. how these men could
keep up their courage in the face of
such an adventure, the horror of which

LET THE PEOPLE PASS ON THE
LEAGUE.

1t begins to look like the president
is going to have his way and that the
final decision on the league of nations
will be passed up to the people in the
approaching election. This challenge
from the president was promptly met
by Senator Lodge. republican leader
in the senate. in this statement:
III the president decides he will
not accept these reservations and
insists upon carrying them over to
the election, those who are deter
mined that the treaty shall be
Americanized stand ready to meet
him upon that issue before the
people"
The adoption of the Lodge reserva-
tons is nov before the senate, and
while a few democrats have broken
away from the president and are sup
porting them, latest Information from
Washington indicates that the num-
her will not be sufficient to give the
necessary two-thirds required for the /
final adoption Of the treaty. Even if |
the treaty with the reservations
should be adopted 10y the senate. there
viii still remain the question Of whe-
ther the president viii accept it in
that form. He has repeatedly assert
ed that any modification Of article TO-
to say nothing of the various other
reservations, would destroy the league
so far as its effectiveness is concern
ed, and has stubbornly insisted that
the pact must be adopted in the iden-
teal form in which he submitted it
to the senate or rejected altogether.
OF course it would be nothing new for
the president to change mis- position,
for he has frequently done so when
the exigencies Of the case demanded.
but he has up to date shown no dis
position to do so with reference to the
league. Between the uncertainty OF
his action and that Of the senate.

BUSINESS MEN AND THE BOARD
OF TRADE.

There has been noticeable de.
crease in attendance at the weekly
luncheons Of the board of trade dur
ing the past few weeks. 1t is hoped
that this may be explained in the
prevalence Of the flu, absence from
the city of many members. and other
reasons of a passing nature, and that
it does not indicate a waning interest
in the organization The value of the
organization has been clearly demon
strated during the past few months,
and it is absolutely essential to the
business interests of this city that
the board of trade should be main
tanned as a forcefu and aggressive
body working increasingly for the adj
vancement of the interests of this city
and district This is true particularly
at this time when it is reasonable to
expect revival of Industrial activity
throughout the country with the COM
ing Of spring. This city and district
should share in the benefits of this re-
vival, and to do It's a systematic and
persistent effort should be made to
make known the opportunities offer
ed by the great mineral resources of
the Occur dAlene district. both in the
matter of mining investments and as
a desirable location of business enter
prises. In practically every town of
the northwest the commercial clubs
are active in calling attention to the
advantages they have to offer home
seekers. to those seeking a business
location and to others seeking invest
ment in industrial enterprises No
progressive community can afford to
be without an organization of this
kind, not alone as means of adver-
Using its advantages. but also to meet
and solve local problems in which it is
necessary to have concerted action by
all elements of the population The
board Of trade serves this purpose and
should therefore command the support
OF all citizens. Support means more
than mere membership. 1t means at

patton in the discussions. and having

BY his appearance in South Dakota

sents to the use of his name as a
presidential candidate.
The question may thus now be ask

he on the consideration of the Ameri-
can people?
In the way of giving honoring testi-
mony where it seems richly due these
things may be said: He has earned a
place as a great national figure; he
has shown the rare quality called Wis

General Wood belongs to no state or

the Cape Cod folks of Massachusetts,
but he is at home anywhere in Amer
ica-in New Mexico as much as in
New York, in South Carolina as much
as in Illinois. He is big enough to be
seen across the continent, and is not
called on to ask for support as a fav-
orite son.
General Wood has vision-that in

The Dreams Ahead

What would you do in this world of
ours
Were it not for the dreams ahead;
For thorns are mixed with the bloom
ing flowers,
No matter which path we tread.
And each of us has his golden goal.
Stretching far into the years,
And ever he climbs with a hopeful
soul,
With alternate smiles and tears.
That dream ahead is what holds him
Through the storms of a ceaseless
flight,
When his lips are pressed to the
wormwoods cup
And the clouds shut out the light
To some it's dream of high estates.
To some it's a d. cam of wealth;
To some it's a dream of a truce with
fate
In a constant search for health
To some it's dream of home and
wife,
To some it's a crown above:
The dreams ahead are what make
each life,
The dreams, and faith, and love.

The action of the Weyerhauser COM

can be no material change. The Wey-

when they offer lumber at a reduced
