CREDIT FOR ARREST AND CON-
VlCTlON OF EMBREE.

Following the conviction of A. $.
Embree, leader of the l. W w, in the
district court in this city a few weeks
ago, a statement was issued by Rob-
ert O. Jones. commissioner of law en-
forcement in which the impression
is conveyed that this important cap
ture and conviction was accomplished
through the efforts or at least the CO.
operation of his department. This
statement has been given wide pub
hcity throughout the state, and it is
for this reason that the Miner feels
called upon as a matter of justice to
local county officers to point out and
correct this erroneous impression. In
doing so we desire to disclaim any in
tention of questioning the motives of
Mr.. Jones. His department has been
active in rounding up and Kidding the
state of the l. w. w. menace, and in
referring to the Embree case he prob
ably thought of it in that connection
rather than a case wholly independ-
ent of the activities Of his department
For such it was, a fact which Com
missioner Jones will doubtless readily |
when the matter is brought /
10 his attention.
The essential facts in connection
with the Embree case are here given.
1mbree was arrested at Burke on
Iune 20, 1920 by the present sheriff
If Shoshone county. His subsequent
rial, which resulted in his conviction,
vas conducted solely by officers of
'hoshone county and at the expense
f the county. There was no assist .
nee or cooperation from any source s
lior to the arrest of Embree in ma
ing the arrest in securing evidence
Or the trial. nor in the trial of the =
ase. Outside of Haywood, the arrest g
nd conviction of Embree was the e
iggest achievement in connection

by the officers of Sho- n

the remotest prospect that it could
accomplish any results at this time
80 far as land armament is concern
ed, for the reason that many Of the
nations of Europe are even now en-
gagged in war and practically all find
il necessary to remain on a war foot
ing 1t was for this reason that Sen
ator Borah limited his disarmament
resolution to a conference between
the three great naval powers for the
purpose of agreeing upon a reduction
in naval expenditures for a period of
years His resolution authorizes the
president to invite Great Britain and
Japan to join the United States in a
conference with that end in view 1t
does not touch upon armies or land
armament of any kind. 1t simply
deals with the navies and would stop
the rivalry between nations which
itdu 10 SuCH vast anu u uShlh5 GA
penditures for naval defense. A con-
ference such as proposed in the Bor-
an resolution would result in a defin-
lite step toward disarmament and
would open the way for other nations
to join in the agreement and event
ually disarmament on land as we'll as
on sea would be included. The Borah
resolution is a part of the naval ap-
bill as it passed the SEN
ate. It does not necessarily conflict
with the disarmament resolution
passed by the house and it should
therefore be retained by the confer
,nce committee.

POVERTY AND PRIZE FIGHTS.


iNeW YORK deldlQ)
The state comptroller announces
somewhat gloomily that the income
taxes paid this spring are behind
those Of a year ago by a few million.
Perhaps to illustrate the growing pow
erty of the people, he adds that this
year payments were made not only
with checks and currency but with
2-cent stamps special delivery
stamps and Liberty bond coupons.
Then. just as the peoples eyes be-
gin TO fiji with tears over their own
sad pecuniary condition, they read
that the advance sale of seats for the
Jersey City prize fight which is more
than a month away, is about 100000.
The fight may be over in two sec
onds 1t can not last more than an
hour When it is over the only diff
ference will be either that a lively
and likeable French veteran is cham
pion pugilist of the world or that a
resident Of the United States retains
that title. For the privilege of look
ing on nearly a million dollars will be
paid
At great prize fights the spectators
always have to wait a long time while
the principals prepare their precious
fists. Those who wish to kill that
time on July might take along pa
per and pencil and calculate how
many starving Chinese. how many tu-
berculous children could be helped
with a million dollars. Not that this
will do the children or the Chinese
any good, but it will pass the time.

PAY OF ENGINEERS.

Mining and Scientific Press)
Inadequate rmueneration of engn-
GERS is illustrated by list of average
incomes compiled by the secretary of
the class of 1910 of Cornell university.
The list is headed by the bankers and
brokers, whose average income is
$1,000; these are followed by IA
classes. including veterinarians, sales
men. insurance financiers advertising
men, purchasing agents, farmers and
builders; then come the engineers
with an average salary of S3724-noxt
but last on the list and before the
teachers, who earn an average of
S31S7 annually Scientists and re-
search men are probably included
among the engineers and this may
account to some extent, for the low
average. The figures suggest one Of
two things: either some of the Cornell
graduates are calling themselves en-
gineers when they are not in the pro-
fessional class, or the devotees to this |
branch of human endeavor are, like |
the teachers, being poorly paid for /
their services. 1t is interesting to |

BREVlTY IN WILLS.
(Boise Statesman

NBOlSe statesman
Former Chief Justice White of the
United States set an example for
brevity in wills. his testament filed
shortly after his death containing but
81 words. The justice left all of his
property to his widow, the disposition
being made in the following words:
This is my last will I give, be-
queath and devise to my wife, Leita
NJ White, in complete and perfect
ownership all my rights and property
of every kind and nature, whether
real. personal or mixed wherever sit
uated appointing her executrix of my
estate without bond and giving her
seisin thereof"
If brevity is any indication of legal
perfection. Justice Whites will should
he able to Withstand any assault that
might be made on it in the courts,
assuming that a contest should be
started. which is of course unlikely.
The will, however. is of interest by
way of contrast with many modern
documents of the kind, which cover
cams of paper and are crammed to
the limit with the creation of trust
funds limitations escheats, condi-
tions and contingent remainders,"
buried in a mass of legal parlance
that at times taxes the ingenuity of
he smartest judges to ascertain the
true meaning of the testator.

DEPARTMENT AND
RADICAL PRESS.

We have great respect for the abil-
Iity Judgment and good intentions of
Postmaster General viii II. Hays, but
we are very strongly inclined to the
opinion that before his term expires
me viii find it necessary to reverse
himself with respect to the radical
press TO refuse papers access to the
mails which are devoted to efforts to
undermine our system of government
is no abridgement of the freedom of
the press as we understand it, Mr.
Hays expects to reach this class of
papers through the department of
Justice upon a charge of conspiracy to
overthrow the government Possibly
this may reach some Of the radicals,
but most of them will escape under
this method of procedure and will be
free to continue their reasonable pro /
raganda. The postofice department /
has the means of greatly restricting
their circulation by refusing to trans
INIT them under any classification of
mail matter, and if after this has been
done they continue TO be printed and
circulated through other channels il
should Doe the work of the department
}f justice to punish the publishers
and suppress the publications. There
vas not much in the Burleson regime
hat we find to commend. but in deal
os with the radical press we are of
he opinion that Postmaster General
lays might follow the lead of his
with profit to the coun-
ry.

TeIescopic Measurements.

The excellence of the big Lick tele-
scope and the steadiness of the air
when the conditions are good on
Mount Hamilton, are attested by the
statement of one authority that dou-
Die stars, whose components are near

ed If the distance between them ex-
eeeds one tenth of a second of arc
What this means in accuracy of def

Company Reports and Company Reports

Engineering and Mining JournaD
Z Spring is commonly associated with
the budding of the leaves, the peep
ing of crops through the soil, an in
tense desire to get out in the open,
and many other physiological indica-
tons of seasonal changes; but in our
editorial offices-to bring our
thoughts back to more prosaic mat
ters-spring is heralded by a flood of
company reports. Most of them came
from the New York headquarters of
mining companies and tell of opera
tons, successful and unsuccessful, in
all parts of the earth. Naturally, an
excellent opportunity is given to
compare the merits of the financial
information furnished stockholders
usually the public-and to observe
with what care the directors and com
pany officials choose to conceal or re-
veal certain operating details.
Interesting contrasts are afforded by
such an inspection. Some company
activities are reported in extenso;
others conhne themselves to such
meagerness of data that they are
practically valueless. Many reports
are so clearly presented that a per-
son unfamiliar with the complex
terms frequently used in accounting
can readily grasp the significance of |
all the financial statements; others
are so beclouded by the grouping of |
an immense amount of related finan- |
cial matter that the accounting terms
employed are meaningless without
other Interpretation. It seems as if a
traction of the mining companies
frankly exposed all their wash on the
inc, whether fine linen or tattered
'ags; others prefer not to expose their
aundry to the inquisitive public gaze.

with which a company dispenses de-

not taken into confidence to any

distinctly toward greater freedom in

1t is quite impossible to conceive OF

one who has won distinction as an
educator but who has never lost the
common touch so necessary to a per-
feet understanding of the problems
that confront young men and women

business or professional careers. This
was the line followed by Dr. Upham
i'm his address, and he dealt with each
phase of the subject in a manner that
held the closest attention and we be-
Iieve left lasting impression. His
remarks were illustrated and enliven-

The Old Hill Farm
General Isaac R. Sherwood, ex-
Congressman, Toledo, Ohio)

When mellifuous spring in her ripe
ness and bloom
Takes her final farewell of the Man
in the Moon;
When the cunning field crow scoops
down DER the hill
With bold petit larceny charged in his
bill;
And the bobolink gay chirps his fit
minuet,
And industrious hens are already to
set;
When the spoony bull frog in the dark
marshes low
Is grooming the airs. of the long long
ago
And the wide-eyed night owl, so sol
emn and STILL
Awakes to the cry of the sad whip
poorwill;
And the frislIy young colts skip high
in their play
Ger the pastures so green and the
orchards so gay;
When the red winged blackbird te-
hits his shrill song
In the marshes and glens by the river
along;
And the woodpecRer gay with head of
bright red,
Is pecking the bark of the trees over
head;
When body white and tom-tit and the
shy meadow lark
Are flying and singing from sunrise
to dark;
When bees, bugs and birds are CHEEKY
and bright
And the fish and mosquitoes are anx-
ious to bite,
The lingering lures of the long, long
ago.
When on the hill farm handled the
hoe,
And plowed with the oxen from sun
rise to dark,
And arose every morn to the lutte of
the lark,
Comes back in review to cheer and to
charm,
Recalling those days on the Old Hill
Farm.
The muscle and stamina developed
there,
In the meadows and fields in Gods
free air
Gave me the courage to do and to
dare,
In the battle of life and in wars wild
alarm;
So here is my lure to the Old Hill
Farm.

KEEP GARDEN FREE OF TRASH
cornstalks, Tomato Vines, Potato
Tops, Etc., Should Be Gathered
Up and Burned.

Neatness, cleanliness, and order in
the garden help in the fight against
insects and diseases, specialists in the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture emphasize. AS general rule,
the residue of the garden such as corn
stalks, tomato vines, potato tops, ETC.,
should be burned. Do this promptly,
so that insects and disease spores may
not be harbored by the rubbish. Just
as soon as any crop is gathered, re-
move the trash, spade up the ground,
and plant something else. Keep the
garden free from weeds at all times,
and this can best be done by frequent
cultivation which destroys the weed
seeds as soon as they sprout.
