JANUARY scRlRNER's.

No one who read the beginning of
Mrs. Wharton's fine serial "a Son at
the Front" in the December Scribner,
but will turn at once to the second in
stallment that makes one of the most
intensely dramatic features of the
January number of this magazine II
voices the thought of thousands whose
only sons were called when war was
no longer a rumor but a fact of those
who feared and still hoped. With mo-
bilization all the world changed and
old easy going ways, the customary
vanished Mrs Wharton makes you
live those days with her with others
who had to make the great sacrifice.

tied to the year 1922. However, the
extension of the great crosscut from
the Hecla shaft on the 1000 level to
provide an outlet is an enterprise of
such Importance that it deserves a
place among the new achievements
for the year. The Star has been prov
ed mine to the satisfaction of it's
owners, the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
and the Hecla, and the last of the new
year will find this great underground
completed to the Star vein.
The foregoing are a few of the
cheering features of the passing year,
the bright spots that cause us to for
get the gloom that at times forced
attention. These new mines mean new
life for the mining industry and in
creased prosperity for the people. They
also mean that in this vast mineral
field opportunity is still open to those
who have the industry, intelligence

While Big Creek can hardly be

TAX GASOLINE FOR MAINTE.
NANCE OF ROADS.

The recent meeting of the North
Idaho Chamber of Commerce at Lew
iston adopted a resolution favoring
the passage of a law by the coming
session Of the legislature imposing a
tax on gasoline to provide revenue for
the maintenance of the roads. The
problem Of road maintenance is one
that must be solved in this state, and
the tax on gasoline seems to be the
fairest plan that can be devised. It
has been adopted in many states and
the results have proved highly salts
factory The point is simply this, that
having constructed the roads at heavy
expense through taxation, it is only a
matter of fairness to relieve the tax
payers Of the expense of maintenance
by placing the burden directly upon
those who use and profit by the use of
the roads This would be accomplish
ed by the gasoline tax. The motorist
would be required to pay one or two
cents more per gallon for gasoline
which would provide a fund for road
repairs and betterments. The tax
would impose no hardship on any one
md the burden would be borne who'll
y by those who use the roads. Some 1
'lan would have to be devised as a
natter Of fairness by which jitneys
md heavy trucks which use the roads
or profit would pay a larger tax than
he ordinary cars. Generally speak

state gets the benefit Of these opera
tions in the opening up Of new mining
fields. This is demonstrated in the
comprehensive report Of the bureau to
the legislature and financial provision
for the support of the bureau is not a
question of favoring the mining in
dustry. 1t is rather a question of con-
tinuing the sound business policy of
assisting in the develop
ment of the resources of the state for
the benefit Of all the people Of the

How Missouri Negro Won Success
Lawrence (MO). chieftain)

Recently a young man inquired at
the Chieftain office door for Mr..
Woods office. He was told he could
see the name on the door on the oppo-
site side of the hall. But I can't
read" he said. The editor was so non
plussed by his admission that he neg
lected to ask him if it were possible
that he was reared in Lawrence coun-
ty, with its hundred schools, and yet
was unable to read so simple a word
as "Woods!"
To those who think they have a
good pretext for not having at least
a rudimentary education. the following
story of George Washington Carver
will put their little excuses to shame.
Born near the close of the civil war in
a little log cabin on the farm of Moses
Carver at Diamond Grove, Newton
county, of a negro nanny, who had
been the property of Mr.. Carver and a
negro father belonging on a neighbor-
ing farm. he is today a professor in
Tuskegee Institute and known
throughout the south as the wizard
chemist. His life story reads more
like fiction than fact.
In the closing days of the war
George and his mother were carried
away by raiders. The kind hearted
Mr. Carver sent a man on horseback
with money to obtain their release.
When he reached the marauders
Mary Carver had gone on and he was
unable to locate her, nor was her son
ever able to find her afterward. He
found George seriously i'll with whoop-
ng cough. He was brought back to
Mr.. Carver who reared him. When a

on a wagon going to Fort Scott, Kans.,
and his real schooling began there. He
worked in private families and did
laundry work. After nine years of it
he went to Minneapolis, Kans, where
he finished his high school course. He
then ran a laundry three years to OBJ
tain money to attend college. In the
Iowa state college he secured the de-
grees of bachelor and master of arts.
After graduation he was given charge
Of a greenhouse, meteorological labor
atory and work in systematic botany.
Thirty years ago his work came to the
attention of Booker T. Washington
who called him to Tuskegee where he
has since labored.

WILL H. HAYS AND THE FATTY
ARBUcKLE CASE.

Since becoming titular head of the
moving picture industry, to accept
which he resigned his position as post
master general in President Harding
cabinet VIII II. Hays has INDUCED in
much talk about how he proposed to
raise the standard Of the movies and
make them a real influence for the
moral and educational benefit of the
country while from the standpoint Of
mere entertainment he emphasized
that the films should be free from i'm
moral features or insinuation, while
the personnel of the movies would OF
necessity be required to conduct them
selves in keeping with this high ideal.
OF course, every one realized that Mr.
Hays had taken upon himself very
large job, one that could not be ac-
complished in a day nor in many days,
but because the movies had become
such an important part of our national
life, and because they had at the same
time become such a serious menace to
public morals, the advent of Mr. Hays
the successful moral political manager
and cabinet member, as the head of
the industry, was hailed with much
by all who desired to see
The movies purged of their degrading
features.
Well, Mr.. Hays has been on the job
or about year. a period for which
lie is understood to receive a salary
louble that received by the president
# the United States. If during that |
ime the screen has responded to his
moral and refining touch, it has been
o inccnspicuous and vague that the I
ublic has not discovered it. In fact, \
he impression grows that the purpose
the great movie corporations in Sc
uring the services of Mr.. Hays was
OF with serious intent to reform the
lovies, but rather to provide bump
/ to shield them from the assaults of ]
n outraged public. This impression
as received strong confirmation in 4
he Arbuclle case. The fact that
Fatty" Arbuckle was acquitted OF the
'ecifc charge of murder should have

ONE EXPLANATION OF THE CAR
SHORTAGE.

In recent bulletin issued by the
Illinois Central railway it was stated
that freight cars spend more than one
third of their time in the hands OF
shippers and consignees. That means
that the cars stand on the sidetracks
idle awaiting either loading or unload
ing more than one-t third of the time
and spend less than thirds of the
time in motion on the main tracks
This is apparently a waste of time and
when there is a shortage of
cars throughout the country. Railway
have always been inclined
to give shippers an abundance of time
to load and unload cars, but it would
appear that some shippers and con-
5ignees are depriving other intending
shippers of the opportunity to get
,ars when needed. A very general
disposition to put off until tomorrow
what does not have to be done today"
accounts for much of the de-
ay in loading or unloading cars. A
PRACTICAL remedy would seem to be to
horten the time for loading and I'M
oading and to increase the demurrage
which the shipper or consignee must
'ay for running over the time limit.
