1t is believed that the men who are
at work endeavoring to rescue the
46 miners who have been entombed
in the Argonaut mine for almost three
weeks, will break through the rock
barrier tonight Hope is almost gone
than any of the men will be found
alive. The effort made to save them,
however, is an heroic one and shows
what men will do and can do when
there is likelihood of being able to
save human life. The whole affair,
however, should emphasize the necess-
ity for providing greater safety for
mine laborers. We have made great
progress, as a nation, in recent years,
toward providing for the safety of
employees in all lines, but there is still
great room for Improvement, especial
ly in the mines, where men work many
hundreds of feet under ground. 1t is
probable that the owners of the Argo-
maui are spending in the rescue work
much more than it would have cost to
have assured the safety of the men
who are now entombed, and whose
lives have, in all probability been
snuffed out.
The Northern Idaho News states
that McAdoo is a puzzle to the news
writers, inasmuch as he could have
had the democratic nomination for
the presidency two years ago, by
making plain his willingness to accept
it. The News suggests that the same
situation may arise again and says
there are not many men but would |
have yielded to the temptation. 1t |
might be all right to give McAdoo
credit with having some good, hard
sense two year ago. He knew in his
own mind that the democratic party
would be up against hopeless fight
and he didn't care to be the goat
The story would have been just the
same with McAdoo the candidate as it
was with Cox. There is nothing at
all strange about the former head of
the United States railway systems
refusing the presidential nomination

MAGNIFYING MISTAKES
Bobbing ones hair is a gamble.
Some girls get marvellous increase of
beauty by it. Others are shocked at
the result. A New York state miss

Since my hair is gone my looks
are gone, too, and it makes me so
nervous.
This little girl magnified her mis-

title girl!
But the world is full of foolish little
iris and boys-many of them grown

lolehills of little mistakes, enlarge
and trivial errors until they

heir lives but the lives of others
bout them.
Success doesn't consist in never

There is something wrong with
nditions when south Idaho farmers
IL their potatoes for shipment to
licago and find when they get re-
rms that the expense of sacks, trans
rtation and commission has ex-
eded the price they received There
demand for the potatoes in Chi
go, and they are retailed there at
price that is prohibitive, so far as ~
e thousands of poor people in the

It money on his crop, receiving alb
utely nothing for his work and no
crest on his investment, and the
1sumer is in no way benefited.
