NEW VERSION OF THE DIScOV.
cry OF THE HERCULES.

The filing of a suit in the district
court last week involving a one-six-
teenth interest in the Hercules mine,
valued at 100000 gave the romancers
of the press an opportunity to revamp
the story of the discovery of the Her
cules mine, which abounds in facts
that quite surpass the most clever at
tempts at fiction But it's an old story
and therefore its repetition requires it
to be embellished with new features
drawn from the imagination. Flights
of fancy frequently characterize the
editorial page of the Anaconda Stan
dard. suggesting that the writer has
a poetic strain quite out of harmony
with the daily editorial grind, but
usually the news columns are confin-
ed to plain statements of fact. How
ever, the Geographic news story of the
filing of the Hercules suit coincident
with the effort TO secure a pardon for
Harry Orchard. the famous criminal
in the Idaho penitentiary evidently
appealed to the imagination of some-
one on the Standard. who vaguely re-
called the fact that Orchard at one
time owned an interest in the Hercu-
les. And so this versatile, if not We
racious news writer makes Orchard
the real discoverer of the Hercules
bonanza in the following wholly new
version of the discovery:
Harry Orchard now in the
Idaho state prison for the murder
of Governor Steunenberg, is cred
tied with having unwittingly dis
covered the Hercules lead A
squad of men of whom Orchard
was one were working in the drift.
Day after day they had driven ii
forward with no sign of ore. One
day about noon. when a round Of J.

THANKSGIVING DAY IN THE
cOEUR D'ALENES.

In order to fully appreciate the
happy conditions that prevail in the
Occur d'Alene district today and en-
able us to enter into the spirit of the
occasion. we have only TO recall the
conditions that prevailed one year ago
and note the contrast Then closed
mines. low metal prices, labor unem-
ployed and uncertainty regarding the
future. Today mines operating at
full capacity. metal prices high and
still advancing, work for all at good
wages and an assured prosperous fu-
ture for the great industry upon
which we depend.
The past year has witnessed not on
ly a resumption of production by the
larger mines, but also the develop
ment OF new mines and regeneration
OF old ones, all combining to swell the
mineral production of the district, in
crease the payrolls. infuse new life
into every avenue of trade and bring
prosperity to all the people of this
favored section of Idaho
The voice Of the agitator is hushed,
peace and good will prevail between
the employer and employed. and the
rumble OF mills and the labored ex-
haust of locomotives moving trains Of
ore to the smelter make welcome mu-
sic day and night.
1t is in such surroundings that the
people of the Occur d'Alenes will to-
day assemble around bouteous boards
and enjoy the annual feast of Thanks
giving, and the Miner takes this
means of extending to them its most
cordial fluctuations ON the suspicious

HARVARD PROFESSOR BELT
TIES NATIONAL HEROES.

Professor Albert Bushnell Hart OF
Harvard is one of those teachers OF
American history who believe that the
popular conception of events and
characters of the Revolutionary per
iod should be revised. I'VE have been
fed up on our ancestors" says he,
land we are all getting a little tired of
these panegyrics and this indiscrim-
mate praise of everybody born be-
fore 1900" Then he proceeds to en-
phasize the faults in our national he
roes. It seems that Washington
bought lottery tickets and swore.
Professor Hart is on the wrong tack.
The people are aware that the found
ers of the republic were human, but
they are remembered for their work
in bringing the United States into be-
ing, and real Americans are never tir-
ed of singing their praises for what
they did. 1t serves no good purpose
to belittle them at this late date, and
the sole effect of Professor Harris talk
is to weaken patriotism

Portable pensions of the Northern Pa
cific railway. Despite his advanced
years, Mr.. Geer has always-even up
to his last service days-passed with
high rank the most exacting examin-
ations and tests of his profession and
held his seniority until just a few
days ago, when he resigned to go on
the retired list
Mr.. Geer began railroading in April,
1854, on the Buffalo & Erie railroad
as water boy on a wood train. Be
fore long he had worked himself up to
the position of fireman ofa switch en-
CINE.
In 1857 he entered the service of the
Michigan Central as fireman. In 1860
Mr. Geer cast his first vote for Abra-
ham Lincoln and in 1861 he followed
his convictions and enlisted in the
Third Michigan cavalry. At the close
of the war he was mustered out as a
first sergeant and resumed his place
on the Michigan Central.
In 1868 he ventured forth to secure
an acquaintance with other lines and
other parts of the country He work
ed for the Union Pacific and other
western and southern lines. until on
June 20, 1884, he secured a position
on the Montana division of the North
ern Pacific, where he continued in
active service until September 10,
1922.

The address Of former Senator Bev-
eridge at the Union League club
should remind us that such exposition
and defense of our constitutional sys-
tenn as Mr. Beveridge is exceptionally
fittedto give is going to be needed dur
ing the next few years. There is a de-
termined effort to break down or break
into our system and. so far as our
conditions may be depressed through
the effects imposed upon us by war
and so far as discomfort may be Of a
considerable spread. this effort or eff
forts may be serious. We do not ex
aggerate the possibilities of the at
tacks of Senator La Toilette, of or
ganized labor leaders against consti-
tutional principles. but il is certain
that if criticism is prevalent and neg
ligently answered. if not ignored, the
time will come when a fatal blow can
be delivered. Even more probable-in
fact we have it's the process Of
gradual encrOachment which goes on

ELECTION FIGURES AND FACTS
washington Post)

! ! w 1OSlJ
The recent election affords abund-
ant material for any one who cares to
show that his particular fad has made
Roadway here or there or that the
public men he likes and dislikes have
won or lost. Directly opposite facts
can be drawn from selected figures
and local contests. The drys have been
strong in some places and the vets
have swept others. Republicans have
made gains in some places and in 9TH
ers democrats have won. Senatorial
Ss5craat0Tiai and congressional
changes have been made by the voters
in the states, but these changes offset
one another in such fashion, for local
reasons that it is impossible to trace
the effect of any national influence
upon the voters of all the states. When
it is stated that the democratic party
has made substantial gains in congress
at the expense of the republican par
ty, all is stated. But If it should be
assumed that these gains foreten the
defeat of the republican party two
years hence. the assumption would fly
in the face of present facts and past
experience. The democratic party has
not won either branch of congress.
Hence it can not mold legislation or
force the president to modify or. aban-
don his program. The republican
party. although it will be reduced in
in the ensuing congress, will
retain control and responsibility

cLEMENcEAU MAKES THE MIS-
TAKE OF HIS LIFE.

If there is one great question of ma
tional policy that has been settled
finally and unchangeably. it is our at
titude toward the political and geo
graphical affairs Of Europe And it
was settled not by the action of
congress or some diplomat speaking
for the administration in power, but
by the direct vote of the American
people two years ago The participa-
ton of the United States in the af-
fairs of Europe through membership
in the league of nations was the over
shadowing question in the campaign,
and the people rejected it by a ma
jority so overwhelming that no Amer
lean statesman has had the temerity
to even question the verdict much
less to attempt to stem the tide OF
public sentiment against it,
1t is therefore with the greatest as
constituent that Americans view the
attempt of the renowned French
statesman. Georges Clemenceau. to
change the attitude of this govern
ment through a personal appeal in the
course of a tour arranged by one who
ingloriously failed under far more pro-
pitious circumstances. 1t is unfor-
tunate for the fame of Clemenceau
that he has undertaken this hopeless
task. An outstanding figure in the
world war. it is unfortunate that his
remarkable career as a leader OF
France should be marred at its close
by an undertaking that is foredoomed /
not only to dismal failure but also TO I
tarnish his brilliant record in the eyes /
Of Americans and in a measure to Gre (
ate an estrangement between Ameri-
cans and his own countrymen; for
while Clemenceau comes without Off
cial sanction, he is nevertheless re-
garded as the spokesman for France
and the resentment stirred by his
speeches extends to some extent to
the French people.
1t is impossible TO understand how
Clemenceau, with his intimate knowl-
edge Of national ethics gained through
half century of public life and as the
premier of France, could make the
mistake Of coming to America and
presuming to advise and even urge
the United States to take a seat at the
conference table and assume respon-

SMITH BEING GRooMED FOR
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

(dem) a boom to nominate Governor
elect Alfred E. Smith of New York
for the presidency on the democratic
ticket is gaining nation wide momen-
tum and the democrats are organizing
in a great many states to put Smith
over 1t is to be admitted that rarely,
if ever in the history of this country
have the democrats brought forth such
vote getter so far as the state of
New York is concerned, and New York
looms large in democratic conven-
tons Smith made a hard fight in
1920. and when it is considered thar
President Harding carried New York
by the biggest majority ever polled in
that state, the showing made by
smith was nothing short of marvel

people who think that "Al" stands
head and shoulders above William G.

The Pumpkin Pie
CBy john Greenleaf whittIerl

All, on Thanksgiving Day. when from
east and from west,
From north and from south come the
pilgrim and guest;
When the gray haired New England
er sees round his board
The old broken links of affection re-
stored;
When the care wearied man seeks his
mother once more.
And the worn matron smiles where
the girl smiled before;
What moistens the lip and what
brightens the eye,
What calls back the past like the rich
pumpkin pie?
o, fruit lover of boyhood! The old
days recalling,
When wood grapes were purpling and
brown nuts were falling;
When wild ugly faces we carved in
its skin,
Glaring cut through the dark with
candle within;
When we laughed round the cornheap,
with hearts all in tune.
Our chair broad pumpkin, our Ian
tern the moon,
Telling tales of the fairy who travel
eIed like steam
In a pumpkin shell coach, with two
rats for a team.
Then thanks for thy present; None
sweeter or better
Fer smoked from an oven or circled
a platter;
Fairer hands never wrought at a pas
try more fine,
Brighter eyes never watched Ger its
baking than thine;
And the prayer, which my mouth is
to full to express,
Swells my heart that thy shadow may
never be less;
That the days of thy lot may be
heightened below,
And the fame of thy worth like a
pumpkin vine grow;
And thy life be as sweet, and its last
sunset sky,
Gold-tinted and fair as thy own
pumpkin pie.
