VOTE THE STRAIGHT REPUBLi-
CAN COUNTY TICKET.

It is not with any spirit of personal
antagonism to any individual candi-
date on the democratic county ticket
that the Miner urges voting the re-
publican ticket straight 1t is rather
in line with it's advocacy of the prin-
Iciples represented by the republican
party which we believe are applicable
to the county as we'll as to the state
and nation. The national organiza-
ton of the republican party rests up
on the organizations in the states and
the state organizations are rooted in
the county organizations, and all are
founded upon principles which we be-
lieve are essential to securing the
best system of government The can
didates on the republican ticket rep
resent the choice of the republican
party in Shoshone county, and they
are just as much entitled to the sup
port of all republicans in the county
as are the state and national candi-
dates.
But even if it be granted, for the
sake of argument that there are times
when it is permissible to scratch the
county ticket, every republican should
realize that this is not the year to

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DEMO-
CRATIC WAR WASTE.

The Old Hickory powder plant To-
Gated at Nashville. Tenn. cost the
taxpayers of this country S9OOOOOO0
and produced no powder whatever for
use in the war 1t has just been sold
to a private concern in Nashville for
$500, 600, or less than 4 per cent of
the original cost AS junk alone it
should be worth more than that I'M
less the S9O.OOO,OOO credited to it was
never put into it, but went like the
airplane funds. The transfer of pos
session of this property is made in
the very midst of a political campaign
in which the Wilson administration is
being flayed alive by the people who
are enraged at the criminal extrava-
gances of Messrs. Wilson, Baker and
Daniels in the conduct of the war The
sale indicates the contempt in which
the voters are held by the Washington
autocrats, who continue in their was
trel course with the calm deliberation
of a burglar wrapping up the silver
ware of an abandoned city home. It
would appear that the administration
and it's pets have agreed TO make a
record cleanup. If they are defeated
they can figure on four
more of lOoting. and if
through some third heavy visitation
Of Providence, they should win the
elections, why, what have they to fear
Us to consequences?

DAVIS AND THE CABINET FORM
OF GOVERNMENT.

The opponents of Governor Davi:
have caused much transformation tC
be published regarding the commits
sion form of government for the pur-
pose of misleading the voters of the
state From an official statement
compiled from the records in the
state house it is found that the cab
met form Of government has not in
creased state taxes 1t has reduced
them 1t has cut 100000 from our
state taxes this year. BY better eff
cheney it has saved money and in
creased revenues at the same time It
will do for Idaho what it has done for
lllinois-reduce taxes every year.
The cabinet system is running on
appropriations made for the old sys-
tenn The amounts to be appropriate
ed were determined by the legislature
according to the needs of each depart
ment institution or industry. without
reference to any particular form of
government.
The cabinet form of government
has neither increased nor decreased
the appropriation for any department
What it has done is to enable every
department to make a record for SER
vice and economy that has not been
equalled in the history of the state
The greatest handicap with which
Governor Davis had to contend was
the deplorable financial condition of
the state resulting from the incompe-
tency and extravaganza which char
acterized the administration of his
predecessor. Moses Alexander. In
substantiation of this here are a few
figures taken from the records: When
the present administration came into
power, these are some of the things
they found: Warrants outstanding,
SaT6.11s; claims outstanding other
than deficiency. s156,4SO; deficiency
and relief claims, S1Sz1S5; interest on
claims. 1851; insurance collected and
spent which had to be made good,
SllS96S; bonds which fell due in 1917
for which no sinking fund had been
provided. $4,000, making a total of
SL25S.S92. Cash in treasury s2O.s11.
To pay this Indebtedness the Alex
lnder board of equalization levied
'nly S97S.6S6 This with the cash in
he treasury. lacked S25S.795 of being
enough to pay this Indebtedness, and
hus left us nothing to meet the ex-
lenses of 1919. Add to the above in
.ebtedness. which we inherited. 81
$4,000 for roads and bridges for 1919,
661,0OO increases for state education
D. charitable and penal institutions.
ecessary for their upkeep and
rowth increased costs of labor and
upplies increases in counties and
tiles, and the cause of higher taxes
made clear state taxes are lower
his year than they were in 1919.

TARIFF COMMISSION POWER
LESS TO FIX SCHEDULES.

Senator Morris Shepard, of Texas
a spellbinder sent to southern Idaho
to bolster up the waning democratic
cause and particularly to help return
Nugent to the senate. was asked
while in Boise the other day what
about the tariff as an issue of the
campaign. The senator gave this
false and evasive answer:
1.-THE tariff commission. com
posed of members of both parties
and representing different sections
of the country is capable of set
Ting all tariff disputes in a fair,
impartial way"
Years ago when the late Senator
Mills, of Texas. was chairman of the
ways and means committee of the
house a delegation representing the
lead mining industry waited upon him
for the purpose of securing a reason
able protective duty on lead, the ways
and means committee then having the
tariff measure which bore his name
under consideration To this delega-
ton of lead men Mr. Mills replied:
1--WE have placed wool on the free list
and we will make lead as free as
wool" Whatever we may think of
Senator Mills. we must admit admira-
ton for his candor. which is in strik-
ing contrast with other democratic
eaders including his successor in
the senate who has been trying to
make votes in Idaho The democrat
ic party is just as much committed to
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1920-10-28

free trade today as it was when Mills
was engaged in writing a free trade
law. Senator Shepard knows it, but
lacks the courage to tell Idaho peo-
pie the truth. Presenting upon the
ignorance of Idaho people, he tells
them that the tariff commission is
capable of settling all tariff disputes
in a fair impartial way" He was
asked regarding the tariff as an is
sue in the campaign, not to define the
function Of the tariff commission. In
making this irrelevant reply. Senator
Shepard purposely endeavOrs to Gre
ate the impression that the tariff
question is not involved in the cam
paign, that the tariff commission is
empowered to fix tariff schedules. The
constitution confers upon congress
the exclusive power to levy imposts
nd the tariff commission has no au-
hOflty Whatever III .thdt respect II
IIay recommend to congress what du-
les should be levied or not but its
uthority goes no further The re-
publican party stands for the protec-
tive tariff while the democratic party
is the party of free trade. And so
long as the two great parties occupy
these opposing positions. the tariff
will remain a political issue.

TIoNAL AMENDMENTS.

There are five proposed amend
ments to the constitution of the state
Of Idaho which will be submitted to
the voters next Tuesday Some of
these should be passed and others
should be defeated. but all of them
should receive attention of the voters
before they enter the booth to prepare
their ballots. In the opinion of the

COOLING is SOUND ON SILVER,
LEAD AND ZINC.

About the most ridiculous effort t.
rally support TO the Nugent-nonpar
tisan league standard comes from Ed
ward Schwerd, of Boise, who has ad-
dressed a letter "To the Mining Mer
of the State" Mr.. Schwerd seems tC
have had a horrible dream in which
he has seen powerful interests al
work to repeal the Pittman silver
purchasing act under which the price
of silver has been fixed >at 81 per
ounce Confronting this gigantic
combine stands the heroic figure of
Senator Nugent the sole salvation of
the Silver miners who with bated
breath await the outcome of the titan
ic struggle.
AS a matter of fact. what Senator
Nugent did for the silver miners was
just what every other western sena-
tor and representative did, both dem
ocratic and republican. He voted for
the Pittman bill. If an effort is made
to repeal it, he would of course vote
against the repeal, and that would be
the extent of his influence in behalf
of the silver miners. While profess
ing great concern for the silver min
ers of Idaho. it is evident that MI
Schwerd's first concern is to return
Senator Nugent to the senate and that
his plea for silver is merely a means
to that end If the welfare of the mi
ming industry of Idaho is his nrst con-
Germ. he must know that most of the
silver produced in Idaho is associated
with lead and is produced as a by
product in the operation of lead
even with the price of silver main
tanned at 81 per ounce. the lead mines
of the state are now threatened with
forced suspension through the impor-
tation of lead mined by cheap labor,
made possible by the present demo-
cratic free trade tariff law So what
will it profit the silver producers of
Idaho if the price OF silver is main
tanned at 81 per ounce when the price
of lead goes down to a point that
makes it Improbable to work the
mines that produce the silver? No
one questions that Senator Nugent
will vote against the repeal of the
Pittman act if the attempt should be
made, but what will he do for the
protection of lead upon which the
production of silver depends? Unfor-
for the senator. there is no
more doubt about his position on
that question than there is regarding /
silver. He will vote with his party /
which has declared that protection is
a robbery" and in its last platform |
reaftirmed its adherence to tariff for
revenue, which in practice is free
trade.
Frank r. Goodng is just as sound
IS Senator Nugent on the question of
the price of silver at 81
Ter ounce. and if elected to the senate
he viii oppose to the utmost the re-
zeal of the Pittman law. And he will
10 more. He will support the repub-
lean protective tariff policy which
'ill insure the enactment or a tariff :
lw that will give ample protection to
FAD and zinc, without which the high
rice of silver will avail little so far
s the mines of Idaho are concerned.
afety first Vote for Gooding. who ~
lands squarely for the protection of ,
u branches of the mining industry.

PARIS, Nov. Is. - One thousand
francs only remaining, of her former
wealth, Madeleine Mdreno who was
a renowned singer in gay Paris thea
tiers before she married Joseph
O'Brien, a coachman for one of the
wealthiest residents of the Champs

dinner a short time ago.
To one of the most expensive res
taurants in Paris, the scene OF Made
moiselle Moreno's former splendor
they went. They returned home about
two o'clock in the morning, minus the
1000 francs. An hour later Mrs
O'Brien cut her husbands throat with
a razor, then committed suicide.

MAY DECIDE STATUS
OF CENTRAL POWERS
IN LEAGUE MEETING
1Ry Associated pressl

PARIS, Nov. 15.-The questions
whether Germany will apply to be ad-
mitted to the League of Nations at
the meeting of the Assembly in
Geneva, November Is and whether, If
she applies, she will be admitted. are
being discussed by foreign Offices Of
the principal powers.
Germany's admission to the League
would change greatly her international
status, and the delegates of some Eu-
ropean countries are beginning to take
position The foreign offices of Hol-
land and of Sweden are understood to
have intimated to members of the
Council of the League that they would
consider withdrawal if the Central
Powers were not admitted, on the
ground that the League would be in
complete without them. The Unof-
fetal replies of members of the coun-
Gil to these intimations were that the
delegates of either Sweden or Holland
were free to propose the admission of
the late enemy states.
The Italian delegates have decided
in agreement with their foreign Office
that Italy would second the nominal
tion of Germany should any other
state propose her. The French gov
eminent is resolutely opposed to Ger
many's admission. It will take two
thirds vote of the Assembly to admit
new member. Consequently, as
there are Al governments represented,
it would require the vote of IS for
admission.
Germany May Not Apply.
1t Is by no means certain that Ger
many will ask to be admitted. The
German Foreign Office has been dis
pleased with the manner in which the
Council of the League of Nations has
administered the Saar coal region, and
also because Malmedy and Eupen
were transferred to Belgium. Never
theless, an unofficial agent of the Ger
man foreign office, the President of
the German League of Nations Society
has recently visited London and had
unofficial conversations with perman-
ent officials Of the League.
The Bulgarian government has an
nounced that it will apply for admis-
sion. The Austrian and the Hungarian
governments have not indicated
whether they will do so or not. Thir-
teen other states have formally ap,
piled for admission They are: Luxem.
hourg, Esthonia, Ukrainian Republic
Latvia, Monaco, Finland. Liechten.
stein, Costa RIGA, San Marine. Iceland
Georgia, Armenia and Lithuania.
Will Discuss Armaments.
One of the most interesting subjects
to come before the assembly will be
that of the Permanent Armaments
Commission and the resolution on
that subject adopted by the conference

agitation among them and induce
them to become associated with pub

the narrow interests of domestic life.
The congress decided also to ask
clubs and schools to give wide scope
to the agitation and propaganda
among Moslem women.

EASTERN CONGRESS
URGES VEIL REMOVAL

LONDON, Nov. 15.-The Congress
of Eastern Peoples which was held at
Baku in September decided to under
take a campaign of agitation and pro-
paganda among the .Mohammedan wo-
men of the East, says wireless dis
patch from Moscow quoting the Rus
sian newspaper, Pravda. Women dele
gates to that congress are declared to
have urged a convention of another
congress to be composed exclusively
Of women of the East. Soviet Russia
would be represented in such con
gress by delegates from Astrakhan,
Turkestan, Daghestan and Azerbafd
jan. The purpose of the proposed
campaign as defined by the newspaper
would be to induce Eastern women tC
take their places in the ranks of thu
strugglers for the liberation of thu
East"
To attain that object the Congress

Enrich Your Blood With
Pepto-Manean.
AND BLOOD is SLUGGISH AND
WEAK.

There is a great deal of serious SICK
ness in the Spring.
And it is easy to see why. Long
weeks pent up indoors, too little ex-
ercise and fresh air, winter sickness
not entirely over with, general low
cred vitality. Blood weak and slug
gish. Then come fine Spring days
that are not as warm as they seem; or
sudden changes in the weather and
you haven't taken proper precautions.
Vigorous, red-blooded people don't
often get sick. If you're not feeling
your best, get PeptO-M angan at your
druggists and take it to build up your
blood. This effective and agreeable
tonic has been tested for over thirty
years, and physicians, everywhere,
recommend it for rundown, pale and
anemic people.
The whole family should take Pepto-
Mangan-it is good health insurance.
Besides, what "a joy it is to feel fit and
fne-ready for anything! To have an
abundance of energy and enthusiasm.
Pepto-M angan is, for sale at yOut
druggists, and in both liquid and tab
let form. There is no difference in me-
dicinal value. Take which ever you
prefer. But make sure to get the genu-

THE BIGGEST INDUSTRY

Cotton is the biggest and most i'm
portant product of the South-the
| staplec rop, the thing that brings more
money into the cotton producing states
than any other. The 1919 crop in Tex.
as was estimated at two million seven
hundred thousand bales, worth ap-
proximately four hundred and five mil
| lion dollars.
The handling and financing Of this
tremendous business involves a great
deal of specialized work classifying
and sampling every bale. Samples
from each bale must be graded several
times during the journey of the cot.
ton from the farmers field to the fac
tory. This work requires trained men,
| The demand for such men is always
urgent. The ability to grade cotton
is essential for the local buyer, en-
ployees of bonded warehouses and
congresses, representatives. of northern

other branches of the industry. The
