NECESSARY SAFEGUARD ON THE
MOUNTAIN ROADS.

The mountain roads OF Shoshone
county are unexcelled in the west
from the standpoint Of uniform and
easy grades and generally broad and
well constructed roadbeds. while the
scenic beauty unfolded to the view
while driving over their sinuous and
ascending course is a never end
ing osurce of wonder, revelation and
delight. Not many accidents occur on
these roads. but nevertheless the
thought uppermost in the minds of
many who travel them is the direful
consequences that would follow fail
ure of the brakes. faulty steering gear
a break of an axle or other unpre-
ventable mishap which would send
the machine tumbling down the noun
tain side. Such accidents do happen,
for there are at times flaws in the
most perfectly constructed machinery,
and there is a limit to the endurance
and life of the hardest metal. To fore
stall the disastrous consequences in
the event of these occurrences which
no human can foresee. in many states |
and possibly in some counties in this /
state a heavy railing or fence is plac-
ed on the outer edge of mountain (
grades and along one or both sides of
smbankments in order to provide Sc
'urty for the motorist. This is Of /
curse heavy expense particularly
n mountain section such as this,
where such a large percentage of the
Dads require such a safeguard How
'ver it is a matter that should receive
consideration by the county authori-
les with the view to adopting a pol
cy under which these protecting rail-
ngs would be placed at the most haz-
rdous points and gradually extended
s funds We're available to meet the
Expense until all roads requiring this
afeguard have been supplied

LAKE CITY VIEW OF THE FREE
TOURIST CAMP.

The novelty of tourist travel has
worn off and the people of many
towns who were enthusiastic over the
prospect of gathering in many dollars
through providing free camp site and
accommodations have reached the
conclusion that there is nothing in
the free camp fad and that a sufi =
cient fee should be exacted to cover
cost of maintaining and policing the
camp; that tourists generally expect
to pay for the service they receive
and that making small charge for
the use of the camp would not result
in driving desirable tourists away. Ac-
cording to the Occur d'Alene Ameri-
can. the people of the lake city are
disposed to regard the free camp
failure. so far as expected benefits
are concerned. Discussing the ques-
tion the American says:
"A couple of years ago there
was a grand race among the
smaller towns located on the paw
ed highways of the nation to Of
fer the finest free camp to tour
lists, the idea being to cause them
to tarry awhile and spend some
money in the town. The idea of
the tourist was to see a little of
America first and that of those
promoting the camp to get the
money" by the offer of an attrac-
tive free camp.
1.-THE last few seasons have
changed the viewpoint of the
small town promoter; the statis-
tics that the tourists spent on an
average from 81 to SIS per day
each in the town where they
stopped have proved as mislead-
ing as the figures on the profits of
a chicken ranch, and for many
reasons the people who maintain
tourists camps are beginning to
see that from the standpoint of
profit. direct or collateral the free
camp is a failure"

The end of the nineteenth century

state commerce and antitrust acts.
Until Wilson's time the captains of
industry who made the United States
a world power were recognized as en-
titled by their ability to be consulted,
but through the interstate commerce
and anti trust statutes they were re-

GoMPERS AND SLAVERY.


New York Tribune)
Samuel Gompers was quite right in
the abstract in saying the other eve
ming that a country may suffer hard
ships and privatiOns and survive but
a country in which slavery has been
reinstituted-then freedom is gone and
the republic is doomed. The truism is
not germane to any condition in this
country. Mr.. Gompers knows as we'll
as any one else that there has heen
no redistribution of slavery here. New
err was the wage worker as powerful
in this country as he is today. The
question that should concern is not
lack of power. but the light of wis
dom in the use of power. 1t would
have been far more to the point had
Mr.. GOmpers expressed his opinion of
a country in which the sixth COM
mandment is abrogated and murder is
publicly committed with impunity
More than a month has elapsed since
the Herrin massacre Not a single
earnest step has been taken toward
the criminals, nor do we
recall hearing from Mr. Gompers
word of stern condemnation and de-
testation of the crime.

the entire industry is cast the knowl-

ed in the wake of the war.

Educators must think more and talk

country maintains it's high traditions
and moves forward toward the ideals
of its founders only as each citizen

conduct by life's true and unchanging
principles. The teacher of today is
encouraged to develop talent in the
pupil through the awakening of those
interests which are native to the child
and which tend to make school life a
pleasant and agreeable experience.
Are educators losing their interest
in training and discipline? Character

LABOR AND METAL MINING.

mining Congress JournaD
Mid-year reports by the geological
survey showing progress toward nor
NAL conditions which has been made
by the metal mining industry reflect
conditions which are created when
labor realizes that its greatest good
comes from respecting the economic
laws of nature.
Metal miners generally have played
their part in the liquidation which all
industries now standing on the
threshold of recovery have under
gone. Without striking. without bag
Cling, these men have acted as their
foresight dictated. giving their assent
to wage reductions with the knowl-
edge that such action formed the on
ly means Of insuring the greatest pos
sible amount of employment in the
midst of unsettled conditions.
This attitude is directly traceable to
a tangible cause for its existence. That
cause is found in the freedom of the
metal mining industry from domina-
ton by organized labor Most GER /

HARDING AND THE
RIGHT OF MEN TO WORK.

While President Harding does not
WELD the big stick, he is nevertheless
as firm in his determination to see
that all citizens are protected in their
rights under the law as some of his
/ predecessors who resorted to direct
action in accomplishing the same pur-
pose. In dealing with the difficult sit
uation brought about by the coal
strike and the railroad strike, he dis
played great patience and tolerance.
but back of this there was always
discernible a fixed determination to
use every resource of the government
to protect men in their right to work
and sustain the industrial life of the
nation whenever his efforts to reach
a peaceful settlement of the contro-
versies failed. In addressing con-
gress on the grave questions confront
ing the country as a result of the |
strikes. the president referred to the |
Herrin massacre and the failure of |
the authorities of the state of Illinois
to make a serious effort to bring the
criminals to justice. He deplored the
fact that the federal government was
powerless to act, but asserted that no
matter what obstacles were in the
way they would be overcome to the
end that government by law shall be
sustained. In this connection the
president said and his words will be
applauded by law respecting citizens
everywhere:

popular resentment that the fed /

What is Education
lwiniam Cardinal oconneII in New YorI HeraIdl


Each day of the school year 10000,
600 of American children leave their
homes to attend school. In this army
of school pupils we see the hope of
our existence as nation. After a
brief run of years the responsibilities
of our commercial, industrial, profess
sional and civic life will rest on their
shoulders.
In what spirit do our school chill
dren face the future? How do they
view life. it's opportunities and its
obligations? What character of am
billions and ideals are they nurturing
in their active minds and eager
hearts? These are matters of grave
concern.
The child of today is the citizen of
tomorrow. He is made ready for life's
duties by the process we call educa-
ton. 1t is the primary business of
education to instill the true and fund
amental principles of living. to devel-
Op a sure and delicate sense of moral
responsibility and to uphold the high
est ideals of human conduct. When
education attains this triple objective
it completes the service and fulflls
its purpose to the individual and to
society
Millions now seek education with
high determination and praiseworthy
zeal These students plan and study
to enlist their talents and to dedicate
their energies in many fields of human
activity To this end they take coun-
sci, and they enter special schools for
the preparation considered essential
to a specific kind of life work The
beginnings of this specialization pro-
cess are encouraged in our present
lay procedure at very early age.
Let it be clearly understood that
nothing of good can endure out of all

-elops in every individual that 10y |

future look exceedingly bright for

New-York tribune., 1922-01-09

Something like forty years ago a
local railroad disaster occurred in
which the wooden cars were set afire
by the overturning Of the coal stoves
with which they were heated, and
some lives were lost. A demand
arose for the abolition Of primitive
heating devices and tho employment
of steam heat, in response to which
a prominent railroad official declared
that he would never consent to the
Introduction of a heating system
which i'll case Of accident might
cause every passenger in a car to be
scalded to death with escaping
steam. He was quite serious and
convinced that his views We're right.
OF like character to that opposi-
tlon to steam heat seem the argu-
ments which few are putting forth
in defense of the wooden cars.
1t is easy TO understand the reluc-
tancc of traction companies, particu-
(arly when they are not overpros-
porous, to send to scrap wooden cars
and to replace them with steel cars
at great expense. But it would prob
ably be better for them to say frank
ly that they object to the change on
the ground Of expense than to under
take the impossible task Of persusd-
ing the public that the old wooden
cars are just as safe as steel.
On the other hand, the public must
understand that if it would have
costly cars it must pay for them.
Common sense calls for emphasis of
this point as we'll as the other.

An All-Women's Bank

Whether the all-women's bank
just opened at Cleveland, Ohio, will
be success or not remains to be
seen, but the idea will no doubt ap-
peal to the women who still feel a
bit shy and self-conscious in dealing
with what has hitherto been a
strictly man-made institution.
Oanks are not nearly so awe-in-
spring as they once were, and are
daily becoming more human, but
there are many women who have not
yet found it out. The stocking and
the old teapot are much more famil-
lar, and there are no cold and stiff
formalities connected with the bust
ness of banking in such repositories.
If the Women's Savings Bank and
Loan Company of Cleveland is sue
cessful, its success will 60 far
toward removing women's distrust
Of banks. It will also demonstrate
