Yorkvile Thursday afternoon. He
suddenly felt a sting on the left side Of
his neck and placing his hand there

Bull" the mascot bulldog at the
town hall, the property of City Clerk
and Treasurer j. Frank Faulkner, has
been sick and moping around for a
few days. Theory is that "Bulr' has
been given n dose of ground glass by
some person who doesn't like dogs.
Bull" is among the best Of bulldogs
ana almost every little child in town is
his friend. He loves for them to come
around and throw ball or other OBJ
ject for him to retrieve. Fear was cX-
pressed yesterday that "Bull' is fatally
sick.
Justin Smith, baseball player Of
Clover, evidently believes in luck
signs" Smith was playing for York
willie against Cotton Belt yesterday.
One time he famed out. Another time
at bat and the opposing pitcher got
| two strikes on him. The young man
drew a cross on the ground in fornt Of
the home plate with his bat Then he
spat near the cross mark. And then

Negroes from practically every sec

Rock Hill Tuesday for the funeral Of

Numbers of small bets, it is report
ed have been placed this week on the
outcome of the primary election next
| Tuesday relative to county offices. The
betting is said TO be especially keen
relative to the outcome Of the treas
u er's race. It is predicted that several
among the nine candidates for the
place will be found running meek and
neck when the votes are counted.
There is talk of trying to effect a
consolidation Of several small schools
in Broad River township with the
Hickory Grove high school. The pro-
posal, it is said, has met with con-
siderable opposition from some patrons
of the smaller schools who like not the
idea Of consolidation with the larger
school. Whether or not anything is
going to come of it remains to be seen.
No defiite step in the direction of such
a consolidation has been taken so far.

the brotherhood men told' the railroad
management something like this: "Re-
move these guards and we will take
out such trains as are able to go out.
Your property will be protected. the
shopmen will do that and we VIII
guarantee it; but unless you remove
these guards, we are not going TO turn
a wheel" The railroad executives be-
came impressed that this was the
right thing to do, and upon their re-
quest the guards were removed. Then
after a delay of five or six hours traf-
fic began to move. But what the next
development would be could not be
foretOid. The common understanding
of tile shopmen was that the strike
breakers had been brought in for the
purpose of making trouble, and it was
expected that, sooner or later they
would start something.

efficiency in office and party solidar-
ity torn by factional fights and dis
gusted with Day domination many
Shoshone county democrats have
quietly aligned themselves with the
republican party and will vote for a
continuance Of the republican party in
power. Those who stin cling to the
democratic name as a fetish are dis

success. The candidates who have
filed represent no particular follow

that if nominated some peculiar and
Unforeseen combination of circum-

ticket may be completed in the pri-
mary by writing in the names Of

any hope of landing any of the Off

BITTER FIGHT LOOMING IN DEM
ocRATIc CONVENTION.

Democrats may cry peace. peace,
but there is no peace in the ranks of
the Idaho democracy. The pacific
tones of its leaders is painfully poor
attempt to camouflage the strife and
discord that prevails in the ranks and
the bitter war that is brewing be-
tween the two major factions. 1t was
a singular coincidence that on the
same day Moses Alexander and Judge
W. M. Morgan both announced theh
Willingness to become the democratic
candidate for governor, each, how
ever, making an appeal to party har-
mOny by naming as a condition that
the nomination would be accepted if
il came as a practically unanimous
expression of the will of the party.
Unanimous choice of Idaho demo-
crats AS well talk of unanimity of
action between the free state advo-
Gates and republicans of Ireland, or
harmony between Belfast and Dublin.
Imagine the Days, who are supposed
to be back of the candidacy of Judge
Morgan, joining in harmonious ac-
claim for Moses Alexander; or the
Nugent faction, which is understood |
to stand sponsor for Moses, joyously |
joining in making the nomination of |
Morgan unanimous.
There will be no unanimous nom
nee for governor at the democratic
state convention, which meets at Hal
ey on August % Although both
Alexander and Morgan are posing as
merely receptive candidates, it is
veil understood that the two factions
or which they stand are already ac-
i've in their efforts to capture dele
cations from the various counties. At
his distance Moses Alexander is the
est bet for the democratic nomina- 7,
ion. In any event the Haley con-
ention promises to be the scene of
litter conflict widening the breach
etween the warning factions, and
oredooming the party to defeat on !

one hundred and seventy five million
board feet, mostly western white pine.
is the largest the state has ever made.
The sale excludes white pine timber
under fourteen inches, two feet from
the ground and all trees of other spe-
cies under twelve inches. All timber
to be left shall be protected from in
jury during the logging operations,
and as cutting progresses. the brush
shall be piled and burned in such
manner as not TO damage the young
trees left. 1t is particularly stipulat-
ed that no broadcast burning shall be
permitted. It is also provided that
certain white pine trees over fourteen
inches in diameter. where needed for
seed tres shall b lit standing, and
otherwise the sale is administered
according to approved forestry regu-
latiOns
This policy is applied in all state
timber sales and in adopting it the
board of land commissioners has
placed Idaho in the lead of all the
land grant states in the scientific
handling of its timber holdings.

THE REAL AMERICANS.

America is called land of million
aires and multimillionaires. There
are few thousand of the one class,
maybe, and a few dozen of the other.
But out of every 100 Americans SO
are earning less than $1,000 a year. So
at least the National Economic Re
search bureau tells us following its
recent investigation of salaries and
incomes
These $4,000 people are the real cit
liens of America. They make the
majorties at the polls. They fill the
churches. They go to the theaters
They build little homes and rear fam
lilies 1t is for them we have our
parks and public libraries. They are
the backbone of America They are

A pretty good sort, these $1,000 peo-
pie. Most of them live in the villages
and on the farms, though many of
them are on the outskirts of cities
and not a few huddled in tenement
districts One thing is true of them.
they are worth their 5000. They are
worth more to the nation than many
of the men who get $4,000 a year;
and they get more happiness and sat
isfaction out of their 5000 than the
$4,000 men out of their money.

$4,000 a year may bring every reason

earn $4,000 in a great city could earn !
even $4,000 in a village? Somehow, it /

THE LAW AND CITIZENSHIP.

Findlay (Ohio) Republican
The matter of law enforcement is
simply one of getting the proper
viewpoint in connection with ones
citizenship duties. It makes but lit
tie difference if one be classified as
wet or a dry, as that general CLASH
fcation is understood. when the
question of law enforcement is rails
ed. There is only one side to that
question. only one place where the
law abiding citizen may take position.
If government is to survive and be
effective, if property and life are to
be kept safe laws must be enforced
and applied as they are written. There
is no half way place. If laws may be
set aside at the wish of the individ-
ual then all law fails and govern
ment as it is now organized, is at an
end. Disregard of law and lack of
to make 1t effective I'M

STILL PAYING WAR RATES FOR
TELEPHONE SERVICE.

A few months ago there was a
general demand in the northern Idaho
counties served by the Interstate Uul-
tiles company for a hearing before
the state utilities commission with
the view TO securing reduction in
telephone rates and also reduction
Of other charges which appear to pa
irons to be excessive and in some
cases possibly altogether unwarrant-
ed After a preliminary conference
between the utilities commission and
representatives Of the several coun-
ties concerned. it was decided that
further time was necessary to permit
preparation of the case on behalf of
the public. That was a month and
half ago. and so far as can be learn
ed nothing has since been done to-
ward preparing for the hearing.
The rates now in effect are known
as the "Burleson rates." which means
that they were authorized during the
war by Postmaster General Burleson,
being an advance over the old rates
to meet the higher costs of the service
during the war. Can it be possible |
that in the general readustment to- |
ward a peace level the cost of main
tanning telephone service has remain !
ed on a war basis? The cost of liv-
ing has come down, wages have been
reduced, including probably the en-
ployes of the telephone company; the
cost Of construction material is low
err railroad rates have been reduced.
and public service corporations gem
orally are meeting the changed con-
iition by revising their rates down
ward. Possibly the telephone COM
pany that serves the northern coun-
lies of Idaho is differently situated
rom other public service corpora
ions and is justified in continuing
var rates four years after the war
$ over. Not all of its patrons are
rom Missouri, but they are all never
heless agreed in their desire to be
hown Let us have fun and COM

les commission.

IDAHO TIMBER SALE POLICY.

(By F. G. Miller, dean of forestry,
state university in Idaho Forester)
The state of Idaho controls upward
of 100000 acres of timber lands. These
are part of its original land grant
made by the federal government,
mostly for the benefit of the educa-
tional institutions-th public schools,
the normal schools and the univer-
sity. This timber area will be in
creased by more than 100000 acres by
the recovery on the part of the state
that part of its grant within the I'M
surveyed portions of the national for
ests. This will be brot about by ex-
changes now under way with the
u. S. forest service The 100000
acres carry ten billion board feet of
timber. valued at thirty
million dollars.
The management of state grants
is vested by the constitution in
state land board consisting of the
governor, attorney general. secretary
Of state. state auditor and superin-
tendent of public instruction The
admissions bill prescribes that the
proceeds from all lands granted for
purposes shall constitute

only of which shall be expended in

THE OENlSON BILL is NOT Al
TOGETHER BAD.

The Miner has heretofore explained
its position with respect to the much
discussed Denison bill. and it has dis
covered nothing in the measure to
change the conclusion heretofore
reached and expressed. There are
features of the bill which should be
and we believe will be eliminated, but
so far as the feature against which
the greatest protest has been made
in the west namely, that which for
bids the use of the mails for the pur-
pose Of evading or violating state
blue sky laws, all indications point to
its passage. We do not anticipate
that the passage of this law will
prove a serious obstruction to legiti-
mate mining enterprise. for it simply
requires the promoters TO comply
" in tine laws vi states in which they
propose to market their securities be-
fore they can use the mails and other
means of interstate communication
for the purpose. Mining companies
generally comply with the state blue
sky laws now. In this connection at |
.ention is called to an editorial from !
he Engineering and Mining Journal /
Press on the Denison bill. which will /
pc found on this page. The Journal |
Press is the Oldest and unquestion-
IDLY the ablest mining publication in
he United States. Its view of the
