The Miner, in common with the peo-

much gratihed over the election OF
Miss Elizabeth Russum to the posi-

instruction. The withdrawal OF the
regular nominee made it necessary for
the state committee to I'LL the vacancy
ON the ticket and without solicitation
on her part Miss hussum was select
ed upon the recommendation of the
republican organization of this coun-
ty, where her splendid qualifications
were recognized through her long and
eminently successful work in the pub
lie schools of Wallace and Kellogg.
Miss Russum is more than a success
ful teacher. She is a student of edu-
cational systems and methods, and will

The bright colors made a wonderful
exhibit, albeit the rain came down in
torrents the night before and through
out the parade, and it is doubtful If
the president on that memorable tour
visited a city more gorgeously and
periodically decorated in his honor.
But time and the elements have lett
their mark on the starry banners. The
stars are almost obscured. the blue
field has faded away. while the red
and white bars have almost merged
into a common color which is neither
white nor red. In these days when on
every hand is heard the clamor for re-
duction in public expenditures. it is
not surprising that the council has
been slow to replace these flags with
new ones, but even under present con-
ditions it would be an unworthy citi-
zen who would protest against the ex-
pense. Either we should have new
flags. or discontinue displaying the
old ones.

THE HENS LEGS.
Boise Statesman


Suppose we forget for q moment
whether the nation is being saved or
going to the dogs and turn TO the
humble hen. She has stirred up a new
controversy.
This profound and, we doubt not
scientific question has been PROFOUND
ed by contributor to the Information
al Interpreter:
why does not a hen fall Off its
perch when it goes to sleep on one
leg?"
And Immediately the editor OF that
weekly finds himself deluged with the
Questions of readers who reply. We'll
why doesn't it fall?"
The answer has been forthcoming
Read it and marvel:
"A hen never thinks of going to
sleep save on one leg; the moment it
leg are locked on the perch automatic
ally. No hen has ever been known to
put down its elevated leg in its sleep.
The rule apparently is irrefragable; a
hen on two legs is awake; a hen on
one leg has composed itself to sleep. In
other words, the hen has put down its
legs might be substituted in all
French exercises for beginners for The
hen has awaked!'"
This viii Immediately start a pro-
cession of people to their hencoops.
There they will perhaps find out that
seeing a great deal Of hens has not
after all, given them a perfect under
standing of the birds any more than
seeing a lot of politicians has given
them a perfect understanding of state
government.

they had remained at home in civil

on such defenders.
The strength of any country is
measured by the loyalty and devotion
of its own people. their willingness to
serve. sacrifice and die in it's defense.
When war was declared against Ger
many and millions Of young men we're
called to the colors, they were not
asked to do something for somebody
else. It was their own country, their
own homes. that they were called up
on to defend. II was an appeal to the
highest sentiment that can actuate the
citizen, that willingness to offer his
life in defense of country How a
grateful country values such service is
exemplified in the honors paid to the
unknown soldier at Arlington. This
unknown is enshrined in the hearts of
the American people as one typical of
the grand army that glorified our
in the world war. If in that
undiscovered country" he is permit

DEMAND FOR BONUS A BLOT ON

Opponents of the soldiers bonus
place too much stress upon the ire
mendous cost it would be to the peo-
pie Of the country at time when their
resources are being taxed to the limit
to pay obligations Of the government
incurred during the war. This is a
sound argument and one that should
appeal to the patriotism of those SER
vice men who are urging congress to
again pass the bonus bill. but in the
opinion of this paper it is not the vital
one.
So far as the money is concerned,
this country could pay the bonus, but

+ Britain the much-vaunted defender
of sound credit
/ During the war and against the ex-
cuse that the advance in silver to $1.40
threatened the melting down and dis
appearance of it's silver currency a
new coin 500 rather than 900 fine was
struck" in the British mint Silver
subsequently declined, and it would
have been a hazardous undertaking to
have released these debased coins in
Europe, but there were further posi-
bilities in the Versailles treaty. The
former German possessions in Africa
needed enlightenment in the superior
CD phases of modern finance. The
old German silver coins of 900 fineness
were replaced by the new 500-fine
British coin and with paper money so
far as possible.
The excess provided siver for sale
in world silver markets.
AS recent as the first week in Octo-
Der silver of this character was sold
in Bombay for the account of the
East African Currency Board" The
amount due this country from Great
Britain for the silver dollars this
country sold to that country during
the war is $122,OOO,OOO. On October IA
interest of $4,000 on this debt was
paid to our government; in the past
two years Great Britain has secured
more than the amount of this principle
in the form of excess silver represent
ed nv the destruction of the superior
money of the unsophisticated peoples
of Africa
And this is only a partial record of
what Europe has actually done in the
solution of rotten credit conditions; ii
does not include the recital of the pa
per-moneyization of the inundated
countries in the near east and of the
elastic gold in London.
This destruction of silver money is
now at an end; there is no more sill
yer currency in Europe in large
amounts that can be converted from
bank monetary reserves into commod-
ty accounts.
The only alternative left is that OF
ne printing press.
Russia has reached the end of its
'aper-money rainbow and has return
ID to the despotical gold standard ex-
rcised so bitterly by Messrs. Lenine,
Henry Ford and Thomas A Edison.
What does Europe intend to do in
92S? Will it continue to compete in
he wall paper market or will it finally
ace realities and end the terrifying
ocial conditions that are demoralizing

ulture?

SUPREMACY OF THE LAW.
Irwin Fails Newsl

Irwin Falls News
The perpetrators of the Herrin mas
sacre have been disillusioned. They
had taken the law into their own
hands, forced tn eofficers of William
son county to forget their oaths, and
without capable leadership, INDUCED
in crimes so horrible as actually to
shock society. To cap the climax
they practically challenged the auth
critics of the state of Illinois to inflict
on them the punishment prescribed by
the laws of that state.
The challenge was accepted and the
process of la wand order was set in
motion. A grand jury has indicted 434
persons, 245 of them for murder The
trials will soon be begun and then it
will be seen whether or not law is SUI
preme in Williamson county and in
Illinois and those who have violated
the law are subject to it's penalties.
1t has to be remembered that the
men indicted will be ably defended by
criminal lawyers and that unless there
is a change of venue the jury will be
composed of men once in sympathy
with and forced into practical subser-
viency by the accused. Yet, even So

public opinion nationwide, may OBJ

WAGES AND LIVING COSTS.

CW. J. Wollman & Co. Review, n. "
In it's declaration of stand on the re-
lation of wages to living costs, the
railway labor board enunciates sound
doctrine The theoretical STANDARD of
living based on a theoretical family
of five" which may be typical" or
not is an economic abstraction and
nothing else. It is a one-sided suppo-
sition, and has reference to a single
feature, the social welfare of the en-
ploye, an effort to make the employer
the handspring of his uplift without
giving due regard TO the part which
the employee himself. must play.
In previous issues of the Review at
tention has been called to the fact that
il all wages were based on the re-
quirements of a typical family of
five" after making allowances for
their needs for shelter food, clothing,
other necessities. the usual assortment
of comforts and modest margin for
saving the average industry would go
to the wall Income would not be suf-
ficient to meet payroll charges. to say
nothing of allowances for maintenance,
upkeep. replacement and other items
of overhead.
II industry if society itself, is to be
on a sound and going basis, the eco
nomic aspects of our problem must be
given primary consideration. The
maxim that the laborer must be wor-
thy of his hire is based not so much
upon what he needs or thinks he needs
but upon the extent of his eontribu-
ton to the common store of goods and
1t is productivity that counts,
and IL is the ratio of output or perfor-
nance that should determine the rate
of remuneration. In the stern logic of
the guiding motive should
be the value of the individual to So
ciety.
II would not be fair to base our wage
scales on the necessities of those who
receive the pay envelopes. We might
even consider the matter from the
standpoint of locality. A worker who
lives in a mild climate with no coal
bills to meet, with rents low. and |
without the necessity of buying heavy /
winter garments and overcoats, finds /
mis- living requirements less than those |
If a laborer who lives much farther /
lorth. and who has to meet all those
Extra expenses. Yet he is entitled to
'eceive as much as his northern com
,eer If he is able to contribute as
much to the general output.

HoteI euIIt on sold Mine.

Eight years ago a new hotel was
constructed in Helena, Mont, on Main
street which occupies the site of Last
Chance glilch. where the placer miners
worked in the COS and extracted some
thing like ssO,OO0OO0. The contractor,
who excavated for the foundation
hauled the ground away washed it in
sluice boxes and made a tidy sum of
money. 1t happened that the old
time placer miners didn't work the
ground thoroughly. There are large
areas of so-called placer ground in
various parts of western Montana
which contain gold and which, accord
ing to report, might be profitable if
dredged on a large scale.-Chester c.
