NoNPARTIsAN CONVENTION.
(Boise Statesman.

(BOiSe Statesman.
The nOnpartisan league has held a
convention to ratify and indorse a
ticket nominated in very indirect
way-the back room way
The nonpartisans are enthusiastic
for the direct primary for the other
fellow
They have adopted a platform too.
It has one virtue; it is short; and
that is the only good thing about it.
1t is the gospel of discomfort in tab
loid form and in it not one word can
be found protesting against the cor
reupting slush funds.
The campaign will be conspicuous
for it's enormous slush fund. A SIG levy
per member and a wide campaign for
big money gifts (nOne to be less than
5000 will fill their Golfers. They have
already announced and begun a cam
paign to raise funds which has seldom
been rivaled by the most corrupt po-
litical machines.
Belying the words of a leader who
said at Nampa that it is not unreal
sonable to expect for their platform
"the support of 80 per cent of the
people of the state" the league does
not propose to leave the campaign to
the merit of the platform. 1t proposes
to buy the campaign with the power
of dollars.
What do they propose to do with
these dollars?
They propose to use them to turn
over to the state of Idaho all public
utilities, some banks all water power
Then they propose to control the state
and these institutions themselves.
They propose to pledge the credit of
the state and the wealth of the tax
payers to insure the success of these |

Mr. Beale has quietly but none the
less effectively brought his candidacy
to the attention Of every county in
the state Even his opponents have
not been able to question his high
standing as a citizen and his quail

known and recognized wherever he is
known, and that means in every coun-

justice of the claim of north Idaho to

MINING OUTLOOK.

Mining development has been lag

the future is particularly bright
There is a growing demand for metals
despite the fact that restricted copper
production with low prices has caused
many to inquire anxiously as to the
outlook for the red metal There ap-

Sam standing ready to purchase all
the white metal produced by mines of
United States at 81 per ounce for sew
eral years to come. the silver miner
has little to worry about. 1t seems
certain that the government will take
some action to influence the produc-
ton of gold. Legislation is now
pending in congress to protect the pro-
ducers of tungsten from the cheap
labor product of China and South
America. The completion of this leg
islation will be of great Importance to
western producers.

THE JOY OF DOING.

Engineering and Mining Journal)
Much of the so-called unrest of the
present is due to the loss of the sense
of relative values. There is JOY in ac-
complishment, whether it be large or
small The late Theodore n. Vail. out
of lifetime of experience, said in an
interview a short time before his
death;
ANY man who is not doing his level
best is stunting his mental, moral and
spiritual development to say nothing
of his ability. Great heavensl The
very greatest satisfaction that a man
can get out of life is the knowledge
that he is accomplishing something
worth while. 1t makes me impatient
to hear and read the utter nonsense so
common about money and what its
possession can mean and do for a per-
son.
by accomplishing something I do
not mean that you must necessarily
have done something great. something
big, or something unusual Accom-
plshment is relative. The boy who

REPUBLICANS NOMINATE WIN
MING COUNTY TICKET.

The result of the republican pri-
mary election for the nomination of
candidates for county Offices is in the
nature of a vote Of confidence by the
party in the present county admins
tration. and the large vote recorded
as compared with that cast by the op-
position is significant Of the ratio
that will prevail when the votes are
counted in November The manner in
which the business of the county has
been conducted since it passed into
the control of the republicans; the
efficiency displayed by republican
peace officers in running down and
Kidding the county Of the lawless and
disturbing element and the earnest
and successful efforts of the commits
sioners TO improve the roads in all
parts of the county with the view to
permanence and the elimination as
far as possible of maintenance ex-
pense. are matters which have inn
pressed the taxpayers to an extent
that practically insures continuance
of republican rule for the next two
years. The candidates nominated for
commissioner, sheriff. and assessor are
now holding those positions, and the
splendid vote by which they were re-
nominated must be accepted as in
disputable evidence that their services /
meet the approval of the taxpayers of |
the county. The nominees for all
other offices are men of the highest
standing in the county whose qualih-
cations peculiarly adapt them to the |
duties of the positions which they
seek
Republicans of shoshone county
naturally feel confident of electing
them entire ticket, but they are not in
a mood to take anything for granted
They are preparing even now to make
an aggressive campaign, one that win
reach and appeal TO every voter of

activity of an enemy that now appears
somewhat dormant but which may be

THE TRUE MEASURE OF NATION
AL GREATNESS.

Naturally the speech of Governor
Calvin Coolidge accepting the repub-
lican nomination for vice president re-
ceived little attention compared with
that of Senator Harding accepting
the nomination for president 1t was
not up to Governor Coolidge to out
line a policy to be followed in the
event of his election and for that rea-
son his speech was not read with the
eager interest that was given to Sen
ator Harding's, but those who failed
to read it have missed a fine discus
sion of real Americanism. In these
troublous times. when all about us
are pretentious leaders expounding I'M
tried theories as positive and specific
cures for all the ills that beset us, it
is reassuring to read the simple words
of Governor Coolidge as he tells in
the course of his speech of acceptance

WEALTHY, BUT WE MUST WORK
AND SAVE.

Here is an editorial recently pub
lished in the Marion. Ohio. star. the
paper owned by the republican candi-
date for president. The editorial has
been widely copied in other news
papers and is taken as reflecting the
attitude of Senator Harding toward
some of the problems now pressing for
solution. I'VE can't wiggle out of
work by wallowing in waste" is
truth that must be accepted either
through the practical common sense
of the people or by being forced upon
them through financial reaction due TO
persistent violation of economic laws.
The star editorial follows:
Where are we in the United
States at the present time? How
do we stand-industrially COM
mercially, financially economic
ally?
Figures won't lie; though liars
may figure.
SO let's do little figuring
and little philosophizing. At
the close of the Civil war, we es-
timated our national wealth at
about seven billion dollars.
We estimate it today at about
225 billion.
Doesn't look as if we were in
much danger. of becoming bank
rupt does it? We are by far the
wealthiest people in the whole
world
England approaches us most
closely in national wealth. She is
worth about so billion dollars.
This country produces in any
single year agricultural and man
ufactured products of greater val
ne that the whole national wealth
of France. We're very wealthy.
But we mustn't squander
We produce % per cent of the
worlds supply of wheat 80 per
cent of the oats, so per cent of
the corn. 81 per cent of the cat
tie, 40 per cent of the hogs, 25
per cent of the dairy supplies. SO
we're in no danger of starving.
But we've got to work-and
save
We produce 60 per cent of the
worlds supply of cotton. % per
cent of the woolens. 25 per cent
of the linens SO per cent of the
SHOES. Consequently we're not in
intimate danger of having to go
naked or cold
still we must wOrk-and save.
We have an abundance of raw
materials for all building pur-
poses Therefore we shan't have
to go shelterless.
And-we can't wiggle out of
work by wallowing in waste We
can't lower the cost of living by
raising the standard. We can't
pay our debts by adding to them.
We can't add to our savings ac-
counts by subtracting from our
endeavors. We can't lengthen
our bank rolls by shortening our =,

These things can't be donei
We're all right: but if we would
stay right we must stay right on
