THE RIGHT TO LIVE.

for whose well being the United States

special need was tragically shown for

from this situation-this generally ad-

Western Senators and Price of Silver

The friends of silver throughout the
country are giving much thought to
working out a plan which will give
recognition to silver as a monetary
metal which will maintain its price at
81 an ounce after the government
purchases under the terms of the
Pittman act have been completed. or
if that can not be accomplished then
to effect an organization of the sill
yer producers for the purpose of con-
trolling exports of silver and thereby
be enabled to fix the price Recently
there was a meeting of western sena-
tors in Washington to consider the
silver question. which was attended
by Senators Pittman, Nevada: Good
ing, Idaho; King, Utah Walsh. Mon
tana and Nicholson. Colorado. at
which a committee was appointed to
make an investigation into the silver
situation in this country and to de-
termine what steps can be taken to
preserve the silver mining industry
after the Pittman silver purchase act
expires.
Whether or not legislation will be
required to meet the situation. or whe-
Their the matter can best be handled
without legislation is one of the
things this committee is to investi-

IDAHO REPUBLICANS AND THE
EK-SERVlcE MEN.

From the days of the civil war the
republican party has ever been the
friend Of the soldier The party rec
ognizes that service of the country in
war creates an obligation that no ma
ton worthy OF the name can or will
disregard 1t is through republican
legislation that the national govern
ment has ever made soldiers of all
wars a preferred class. and the re-
publican party has ever practiced
that policy in the selection Of candi-
dates for Office That is to say, when
are equal, service in the
army tips the beam in favor Of the
soldier The republican convention in
this city two weeks ago gave a strik-

an all-American silver purchasing or
ganization, to handle sales of all sill
yer produced in the United States
Mexico and Canada. The latter plan
would call for no legislation. The
committee appointed was instructed
to report soon after December 1.
The committee met Saturday and
selected Senator Pittman of Nevada
chairman. 1t decided to take no i'm
mediate action on the plan of stabi-
izing silver by international agree
ment pending the return and report
of Professor jerks of Cornell univer-
sity who is now investigating the
European silver situation for the de-
partment of commerce.
There was a strong sentiment, how
ever in favor of inducing silver pro-
ducers themselves to form an export
association, and individual western
senators will be requested to confer
with producers in their states with
reference to this plan and to any leg
islation that may be needed to make
formation and operation of such an
association effective.
1t also was decided to ask the bank
ing and currency committee TO report
favorably a pending resolution auth
orizing the calling of an international
fiscal conference. in the belief that
such a conference could deal with the
silver situation
1t was thought that if such a con-

GOVERNMENT MUST CONTROL.
(Detroit Free Pressl


The president holds that the people
have a right to travel and ship THEN
goods in interstate commerce. He
finds that they have laws to safeguard
the right and have provided severe
penalties for those who conspire TO
violate them. These he proposes to
enforce with all the power of the gov
eminent and if the men who are
striking attempt to prevent others
from working, as they have a lawful
right to do, he will protect the work
ers against the strikers. Already
there have been serious infractions of
the rights which the president says
he intends to defend. and if the trou-
bic continues it is possible to see how
q determined defense OF law and the
right to work may lead to serious
but they could never be
SO serious as a surrender of the right
of the people through their govern
ment to the interests of a limited
number asserted through a union.
Boiled down, the presidents position
Is that the government controls the
country and that no private organi-
,ation however large or important
shall be permitted to dispute that
control. In that program the people
will stand behind him.

To a Waterfowl


Whittier midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens with the last
steps of day,
Far. through their rosy depths, dost
thou pursue
Thy solitary way?
Vainly the fowler's eye
Might mark thy distant flight to do
thee wrong.
AS darkly painted on the crimson
sky
Thy figure floats along.
Seek'st thou the plashy brink
OF weedy lake. or marge of river
WIDE
Or where the rocking pillows rise and
sink
On the chafed ocean-side?
There is a Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that painless
The desert and illimitable air
Lone wandering, but not lost.
All day tiny wings nave fanned,
At that far height the cold thin
atmosphere,
Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome
land.
Though the dark night is near.
And soon that toll shall end
Soon shalt thou find summer home
and rest,
And scream among thy fellows; reeds
shall bend.
Soon, DER thy sheltered nest
Thou 'rt gone, the abyss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet, on
my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast
given,
And shall not soon depart
He who, from zone to zone,
Guides through the boundless sky thy
certain flight,
In the long way that l must tread
alone,

HEPBURN AND BoRAH MEET ON
COMMON GROUND.

Although widely differing in person
ality. and often occupying opposing
positions on questions within the re-
publican party a study of the record
of Senator Borah in the senate and
that of the late Senator Hepburn will
disclose mulch similarity between the
two in their attitude toward the larg-
en- public questions and especially
those involving Interpretation of the
constitution. This is brought to mind
through "a recent speech by Senator
Borah on the provision of the tariff
bill empowering the president.
through the tariff commission, to in
crease or decrease rates of duty with
in limitations fixed by the act, but in
no case more than a maximum of so
per cent Senator Borah was the only
republican senator voting against this
provision. which he contended would
be delegation of power to the presi-
dent vested by the constitution solely
in congress. Addressing the senate.
Senator Borah said:
ut is so clearly and distinctly in
contravention of the constitution
al principles of our government
that / can not give my support to
il and | can not give my support
to the bill if it is in the bill. But
aside from the constitutional pro-
position, it is to my mind the most
serious departure from a wise pol
icy with reference to tariff max
ing that we could well conceive of.
am not willing to turn over to
another department of the govern
ment, which is clearly and dis
tinctly political department of

with these important matters"
That was the position of Senator
Ieyburn on the tariff commission
'hich has long been advocated as
ieans of taking the tariff out of

luse the constitution clearly gives {
'ngress the exclusive power to levy t

seussed the proposal to create :
riff commission. He was a stalwart a
ivocate of protection, and if this pro- O
sion to turn over the fixing of tariff
ties to the president with the advice e

FATHER OF BLOCK SIGNALING
Name Of William Robinson Written
Large In the History Of Rail-
way Transportation.

An automatic electric system of
railroad signaling was put into sue
cessful operation for the first time 80
years age. 1t was the invention Of
William Robinson, and the trial to
which he submitted his signaling APP
pliances was made early In September.
1872, at the tswn OF Kinzua. on the
old Philadelphia q Erie railway In
northerR P~emnysvivania.
Mr.. Ksbfnssn Is very generally re-
fcrred to as "the father OF automatic
block signaling" His Invention is
recognized as the forenunner and at
the sane tifae the basis OF practical
ly every automatic electric block sig
nal system In use on railroads today"
This tribute to his work appeared
In a recent report OF the Interstate
commerce commission Perhaps no
single inveMtion in the history Of the
development Of railway transportation
has contributed more toward safety
and dispatch in that field than the
closed track circuit"
