A VISITORS VIEW OF WALLACE.

Wallace has often been declared
the biggest Little City in the West"
and this statement is not an exagger-
alton AS it is modern in business
blocks. homes. schools. churches, fra
ternal orders, fire apparatus, railroad
facilities and, what is more, live,
progressive business men who are
enthusiastic in their business. the
same as they were when they dug in
to the earth hunting the first pay
streaks.
The city has every street and alley
paved, and pays especial attention to
the entertainment of the tourists and
conventions

wonderful mines, which have produc-
ed two-th of billion dollars in
wealth, gave many Impressions of
progressiveness which this city
could proftably copy.
1t was stated in the convention that
one town in the district was estab

EIGHT RULES THAT SPELL 5USI-
NESS SUCCESS.

Eight rules for success are laid
down by A. b. Farquhar, American
multimillionaire. in his autobiography
entitled, THE First Million the
Hardest" They are we'll worth re-
peating for the benefit of the youth
of the land who may not have the
opportunity to read the book:
l. That it is, as a rule. safe to
trust human beings. Comparatively
few are unfair if you are fair your
self.
,. That troubles and apparent diff
hculties are but stepping stones to
progress-the most practical way of
learning-and as Greeley (ShermanO
said. THE way to resume is to re-
sumo"
3. That there is nothing that will
take the place of work. either to gain
success or to gain happiness or to
gain both-and it is possible to gain
both If in the striving and working
for success the dollar is not put above
the man.
l. That one can and must keep
faith with ones self
s. That God is not Knocked. You
can not break his laws without suf-
fering.
6. That ones only dangerous en-
envy is ones self. In the ultimate no
one can hurt you but yourself
Z. That friends are among the
greatest assets-and the way to get
friends is to be a friend.
s. That one should never seek
anything for which he does not give |
value. This avoids the disposition to |
peculate-which is one of the great I
est dangers that beset the business |

PiNCHOT AND HIS PRIMARY
ELECTION EXPENSE.

The excessive expenses to candi-
dates who seek nomination for office
through the direct primary, and par
ticularly for state and congressional
positions has often been dwelt upon
as one of the chief arguments against
the system The supporters of the
direct primary have contended that
the expense is not excessive except
when improper or illegal expenditures
are made, and the Newberry case has
been held up as the browning and
conclusive example in support of this
contention. Mr. Newberry spent
$4,000 to secure the senatorial nom
nation in Michigan. His seat was
contested on the ground of improper
use of money in securing the nomin-
alton, and while the contest failed

WHY THE RUSH7

Chicago Tribune)
A chef discussing American menus
said that the curse Of American cook
ing was the injunction Rush this or
der please" Neither good prepare
ton of food nor good digestion of
food goes with such an order. Prob
ably half of the American rush is
meaningless, indicating a nervous
disarrangement of life rather than a
highly involved scheme of it. Prob
ably half of it results from lack of
planning and lack of concentration
Much Of it is a mere gesture. with no
advanced by it. There is
superficial stimulation in the noise
and in the swift movements Of auto
mobiles, but the rush does not have
for the most part a valid purpose. It
IS a vicious circle. The hurry makes

RAILROADS CAN'T STRIKE.
lRrooklvn Eaglel


Railroads can not go on strike when
a government agency reduces their
earnings by cutting rates. They may
protest, but they must continue to
carry freight and passengers. Rail
road unions are not so limited. When
a government agency cuts wages they
at once begin to talk about striking,
regardless of the effect a strike would
have upon the public depending upon
the continuous operation of the rail-
roads.
What the railroad employees need is
light on the other side of their case
They will receive from their leaders
only the biased assurance that the cut
is unfair. that they are being asked
to accept a cut in earnings out of all
proportion to the reduction in their
cost of living. The mailing of the
strike ballots is accompanied by what
is virtually an invitation to strike.
Sober thought may avert a strike de-
cision, but there is no disposition to
sober thought among the leaders of
the brotherhood

SOLDIERS BONUS WILL PROVE A
BOOMERANG.

While the question OF paying a bon
us to the veterans of the world war
is not a political one, the republican
administration will be held RESPONSE .
BILE for it, and it will be found heavy
responsibility. The republican con-
gress was elected for the purpose,
among other things. of relieving the
people of the crushing weight of tax
alton, and it will be a very difficult
matter, after the passage of the bonus
bill for republicans to explain how
they kept faith with the people in the
presence of anywhere from two to five
billion dollars to be raised by taxation
in some form to pay the bonus. Those
senators and representatives, who
think they detect the voice of the peo-
pie in this monstrous demand from
the American Legion will have their
minds rudely disabused in November
The people of this country have never
been ungrateful to the men who Of
fered their services in war, and they
are not ungrateful to the men who
served in the world war. They show
ed their appreciation when the world
war was on and they have shown it in
ways since the war closed. !
They are more than willing to go to |
the extreme limit to provide for those |
who were incapacitated in the service. !
FOR their dependents and for the de- |
pendents of those who lost their lives
out they deny absolutely that there is
any obligation to those who returned
n robust health beyond that which
mas been recognized in dealing with
soldiers of all other wars. Those SEN
ltors and representatives who think /
hey see political advantage in forcing
his bonus bill through congress will
ind that they have sadly misjudged
he sentiment of the people and of a
arge percentage of the service men
themselves. The bonus bill will prove
/ boomerang that will return with
disastrous consequences to the re-
publican party.

the senate adopted the report of the
committee awarding him his seat
which included a resolution deprecat-
ing large expenditures to secure NOM
lination for office. This was construed
by the opponents of Senator New
berry as an admission of the charges
against him, albeit he was given his
seat AS now recalled. there were nc
direct charges of corrupt use OF
money in the Michigan primary. the
case resting upon the demoralizing
influence of such a large expenditure
and the advantage it gave a man OF
large means over his less fortunate
opponent.
The opponents of Senator Newberry
were generally those who are advo-
Gates of the direct primary and who
therefore contend that there is no ne
cessity for large expenditures. 1t will
be interesting to hear from these on
the expense account of Clifford Pin
chot in his successful primary cam
paign for the republican nomination
for governor of Pennsylvania. Ac-
cordng to the statement filed by Mr..
Pinchot, he spent S129,OOO. Mr. Pin
chot is a man of great wealth and
could doubtless come through with
1929, 900 with no more embarrassment
than the ordinary citizen would ex-
perience in giving up 1929. Whatever
may be thought of Mr.. Pinchot, his
forestry fads and political peculiari-
ties, his character is unimpeachable
and no one would even remotely sus-
pect him of resorting to an improper
use of money to accomplish his politi-
cal ends But the fact remains that
Mr.. Pinchot spent an enormous sum
to secure the republican nomination
for governor of Pennsylvania. fully as
much or more than Mr. Newberry
spent to secure the Michigan sena-
torial nomination. considering the rel
alive rank OF the two positions and
the opposition to be overcome The
Pinchot expense account tends to re-
Iieve Senator Newberry of the severe
to which he has been sub
iected, and to confirm the argument
against the direct primary, namely
that it imposes an expense clear out
Of proportion to the emoluments of Of

means from aspiring to state and con-
sressional offices.

those metals against the competition
of Mexico and other countries where
labor and other conditions bring the
cost Of production far below the Am
erican standard This attitude of To-
cal democrats is characteristic of the
party throughout the country. Wher-
ever there is a local industry affected
by the tariff. democrats are found true
to form expounding free trade in prin-
ciple and demanding protection for 10
cal industries in practice. The same
thing is found in congress when tar
iff schedules are being considered af-
fecting local industries of states. Sen
ator Walsh. from our neighbOring
state of Montana, presents a shining
example of democratic duplicty on the
tariff question. It seems that Mon
tana has an infant graphite industry
for which this apostle of free trade is
demanding protection. The incon-
sistency of his position, as well as
that of Senator Heflin, of Alabama, is
made the subject of the following
comment by the Springfield (Mass)
Union:
THE tariff should not be a local
b question, but the present debate
in congress frequently shows that
it is. Day after day the demo-
cratic senators 'speechify' against
protective rates on productions in
which their states are not inter
ested, but when il comes to
commodity no matter how slight
in Importance. that is produced in
their state they clamOr for higher
rates.
This was revealed in the heat
ed debate on the rate on graphite.
An inferior quality is produced in
the states of Montana and Ala
bama. Nowhere in the United
states has been found a quality
of graphite that can be used in
certain important manufacturing
processes in this country. 1t has
to be imported whatever the duty
on the local product.
But when the proposed senate
rate came up for debate up rose
Senator Walsh of Montana, and
Heflin of Alabama, two of the
most loquacious senators against
protective rates on most other
things. and they clamOred for
higher rates for more protection.
With them the tariff is a local is
sue. and the same fact crops out
frequently as to others as the
senate slowly proceeds from para
graph to paragraph of the bin"

MINING OUTLOOK IN THE coEUR
D'ALENE DISTRICT.

All indications point to revival in
mining activity in the Occur d'Alene
district that will soon assume proper
tons little short of a boom The con-
ditions are right and already the in
dustry is feeling the quickening ell
fects of steady improvement in bust
ness conditions. All authorities agree
that the position of lead. the great
product of Occur d'Alene mines, is
far more favorable than that of any
other base metal, due to the fact that
there is no surplus and that there is
no source of supply that viii make a
surplus possible in view of the assiir-
ed steady increase in the consumption
of the metal The situation. there
fore, gives the most positive encour-
agement for increased production,
while the strong price is assurance of
large profits Coupled with this fav-
orable condition. the fixed price of
silver, which is an important ele-
ment in connection with the lead pro
duct of the district will remain fixed
at 81 per ounce for a year and a half
or two years under the provisions of
the Pittman act and it is possible that
by the time the purchase OF silver I'M
der that act il completed the neces-
sity for adopting silver in some man

by the government But even with
out government recognition, it is the |
opinion of the best authorities on sill |

metal viii maintain the price at 81 |
per ounce or better In any event it
is certain that silver will not drop to
the low level it occupied before the
war. and that the price will be sufn-
