LINCOLN DAY BRINGS OUT HOSTS
OF REPUBLICANS

Reports of banquets and ceremonials
on Lincoln's birthday this year all
show unusually large attendance and
exceptional enthusiasm significant
and gratifying facts when taken in
connection with the approaching cam
paign. At Kellogg two hundred re-
publicans gathered to honor the mem
DRY of Lincoln and to show their de
votion to the principles for which he
stood and for which the republican
party ever has and now stands. Such
an outpouring means nothing less that
that the republicans of ShoshOne
county are alert and united in their
support of republican administration
in county, state and nation.
In Boise the Lincoln day banquet
was the largest gathering of the kind
ever held in the state. Hundreds who
desired seats were turned away. Re
publicans were present from all parts
of the state. and their reports indi-
Gated that political conditions were
most satisfactory and that Idaho re-
publicans throughout the state are
looking forward with confidence to
success this fall. 1t is altogether
gratifying situation, indicating that
Idaho will continue in control of re-
publicans and that the state will con
tinue to be represented in the lower
house by two republicans, and it may
safely be stated that these two repre-
sentatives will be Burton L. Tlencn
from the first district and Addison r.

WHAT NoNPARTlSAN LEAGU &
DID TO NORTH DAKOTA.

We still hear occasional reports OF
activity of the nonpartisan league in
some parts of south Idaho, indicating
that there are still a few left who
adhere to the socialistic creed of the
wholly discredited organization. From
latest information this remnant in
Idaho has entered into an alliance with
the new reform party that has been
launched by the committee of As,
headed in Idaho by Mr.. Johnesse of
boise. Without considering the pre-
tentious platform of principles pro-
mulgated by the self-appointed com
mittee- the fact that it apparently
welcomes the nonpartisan league to its
ranks is sufficient 10 condemn it in
the estimation of patriotic and right
thinking people The head of the non
partisan league has just completed a
Jail sentence imposed upon conviction
OF disloyalty during the war. and the
people of North Dakota, birth place
OF the league and state in which its
socialistic theories were tried out, have /
by direct vote repudiated the organi- /
cation. In the face of this record, it is /
unthinkable that the people of Idaho |
will encourage it to regain foothOld
in this state. The state of North Da-
kota has paid dearly for its experience
with the league. both in reputation and
in dollars and cents. The condition
in that state as result of this expe-
rience is told in the following para

can be no Sinking and no skimping.
Borah showed his feeling in regard to
the helpless veterans when he declared
that the government is not doing
enough for them, even when it is
spending half million dollars year
for their relief.
If we are not doing enough now for
the disabled men. how are we going

STEADY IMPROVEMENT IN MIN
ING INDUSTRY.

1t would of course be unreasonable
to expect sudden and widespread re
vival in the mining industry, for the
same reasons that govern conditions
in all other business and industrial
lines. The causes which brought about
the world wide depression are too nu-
merous and complicated TO make quick
readjustment possible, but it is coming
slowly but surely. Legislation has
helped and will continue to relieve the
situation even more effectively in the
future than it has in the past, but after
all the greatest influence in solving
the problem is the attitude of the peo-
pie themselves. their Willingness to
work and their willingness to readjust
themselves on live-and let-live ba
Sis, for in the last analysis the problem
OF readiustment OF which we hear SO
much is to great extent a personal
matter and when each individual
solves it, a long step will have been
taken toward the solution of the big
problem.
Locally there is no material change |
in the mining situation but there are
indications that there will be sub
stantial increase in mineral production |
within the next few weeks, while the |
prospect for new producing mines is |
exceptionally good. Another factor
that will prove of considerable inn
pOrtance locally which will soon mani

Senator Borah's speech on the sol
der bonus was typical of the Idaho
statesman. He is never an opportu.
mist, never slave to party expediency
never a demagogue. He long had the
reputation of being the finest orator il
congress. But what is far more inn
pOrtant is that he is the boldest and
bravest man in congress
Mr.. Borah took hold of the bonus
questionable great legislative mis-
take which congress has seemed on
the brink of making-with bare, rough
hands. He tore a hole in its false
front and showed its real face When
Senator Jones of New Mexico tried to
get Borah to accept the phrase "ad-
justed compensation" instead of DO
nus" or "gratuity," Borah wrenched
the mask of words from the sham
Adjusted to what? To the standard of
a stable boys or charwoman's wages?
No, it would be an insult if offered as
compensation; it must, if anything, be
a gift
And if a gift, how can the country
afford to give it? How can a govern
ment already burdened with debt OF
"a billions afford to go deeper in the
hole?
Senator Borah struck his most tell
ing blow when he brought up the mat
ter of the disabled soldiers and sailors
1t is now costing the United States
half billion dollars a year to care for
these men. AS Mr. Borah said, no
body will complain of this expenditure
so long as the appropriations are based
on the necessities and requirements of
the disabled veterans There will be
no complaint if it becomes necessary,
as Mr.. Borah predicts to spend a bill
lion and a half year on these men ten
years from now.
But the care of the disabled soldiers |
and sailors is now costing the United |
States as much as the total expenses /
of the government twenty years ago.
This care of men who were incapaci-
lated in their cOuntrys service cannot
be lessened. Even if the total cost is
IS billions in the next 40 or so years,
I must be paid. There is a great NOR
Il obligation of a nation to men who
