state which it is proposed to form out
of the ten northern counties of Idaho.

sprung upon the senate, but it is sur
missed that it is aimed to forestal the
state Of Lincoln scheme embodying
north Idaho and eastern Washington.

SEND IDAHO BOYS AND GIRLS TO
IDAHO UNIVERSITY.

The entertainment given by the uni
versity glee club in its tour of the
state should result in bringing the
state university at Moscow to the
favorable attention of the public, and
particularly it should impress the
young men and women who contem-
plate taking a college course with the
advantages of the state institution
The moving picture views of the uni
versity and the city of Moscow were
a revelation to many citizens, bring
ing to their attention educational and
social advantages of which they had
very limited knowledge, and must
have convinced them that it is not ne
cessary to go to the schools of neigh
boring states in order to secure these
advantages. If YOU desire liberal
education special course i'm any
branch Of mining engineering. agri-
culture forestry, domestic science,
literature, art etc; if you have a
fondness for athletics along with your
university course; if you desire clean
wholesome and yet active social sur
roundings to break the monotony of
your college work; if You are looking
for school in which you will have
the advantage and inspiration of
close association with your instruct
ors then you need seek no further
for all these features will be found at
the University of Idaho
The state of Idaho makes liberal APP
preparations for the support and the
maintenance of the university. which
means that the taxpayers of the state
provide the funds Why then, should
they not patronize the institution
which their own money helps to
maintain? Why send Idaho boys and
girls to the schools of neighboring
states when they have equal and +
possibly better advantages in our own /
state university?

OF PUBLIC FROM
SPEED FIENDS.

Some one has introduced a bill in
the legislature providing that every
person driving an automobile in the
state of Idaho shall procure a license
and that a violation of the speed laws
OF any other laws of the road that
might ieopardze human life, should
bee followed by revocation of the Ii
cense We were in hopes that this
bin would become a law, and are still
hopeful that it will. although we have
seen no reference to it since it was
introduced. 1t is time that some
measures should be adopted that will
protect the public from these speed
maniacs. and others who may not be
so classed. but who nevertheless show
complete disregard for footmen and
others who chance to be in their way.
The most shocking examples of both
these classes have recently occurred
i'm Spokane, and similar examples are
liable to occur in any other place for
unfortunately the possession of an
automobile seems to change the very
nature of some men and make them
absolutely Indifferent to the fate of
their fellow man
If this class of men knew that the
moment they violated the speed law
or committed any other fragrant act
in defiance of the rights and safety of
the people, their license would be re-
voked and that they would be depriv-
ed of the privilege of driving for three |
'r six months, year or possibly for
M time they would soon manifest a
aspect for the law and the rights of
others. We are still hopeful that the
egislature will enact this law.

THE OPEN SHOP.
lMIning Congress JournaD

mining Congress JournaD
IL is true that a general movement
is in progress looking to the estab-
hshment of the open shop. the shop
in which every man is entitled to
work whether he is or is not a labor
union member If trade unionism
can not exist except it be allowed to
dictate those conditions under which
nom members of the union may exist,
then trade unionism in the end will
be obliged to surrender 1t will not
do to befog the issue by saying that
this fight is for a closed shop against
the unions. The great majority of
employers have no objection to their
employees belonging to unions
nor any serious objection to
collective bargaining They do object
to conditions under which they are
unable to select their own employees
to discharge them when they are in
efficient or insubordnate. and they do
object to collective extortion under the
euphonious title of collective bargain
ing.
The industries of the nation can not
maintain their supremacy except I'M
der conditions where operations are
properly financed and properly direct
ed Brains and capital are just as es-
sential to production as labor. The
best results from the efforts of labor
can only be obtained under the direc-
tion of a guiding hand which coordin-
ates all effort to the common end.
Perfect cooperation of brains, Drawn
and capital are essential to that cheap
production which has brought to all
classes today the Injuries which were
not available to even the few in the
olden times. The principles of the
open shop are necessary to the indie
pendence of the American workman. /
If the labor union can not furnish la
Dor in open competition with non
union labor, there is something wrong
with labor unionism.

Of Idaho game from the aura of pro-
lection to the green fields of purely

even surmise the guess that Senator
Hegstad has been misled into intro

the Miner and believes it detected
much camouflage in the method of
expression. Hulit came to Idaho from
Chicago about two years ago. organ
