tended in good faith by persons not
connected with European govern
ments and that the recipient Of such
invitation is seriously considering ac-
cepting it, provided his legislative
duties will permit It sounds like a
pretty large order to request an ade-
quate reply to such searching ques-
lions as these;
1. What do the people of the Unit
ed States believe the European gov
ernments should do TO justify their
demand for the help of this country in
STRENGTHENING out their economic per-
plexitiesY
2. What are the people of the Unit
ed States willing to do to help Europe
If the European countries comply with
the American conditions?
It is significant but not surprising
that these questions should be ad-
dressed to Mr.. Borah rather than to
the president or the secretary Of
state, although it is obvious enough
that those officials could not answer
the questions without giving them a
character which would be imprudent
as we'll as unseemly. On the other
hand Mr. Borah, by his demand for a
world conference on economic affairs,
is bound as a man Of integrity and
ability. to have in mind by way of
Justification for such a conference
definite and adequate answers to the
very questions which these European
organizations PROFOUND to him. It is
understood he has. these answers, and
otherwise his demand for a confer
ence is gesture in the dark.
But the fact remains that neither
Senator Borah nor anybody else is
authorized, or able to say with GER
tainty or clearness what the state Of
mind of the people is on those mat
ters. The election of 1920 is constru-
ed by some as having been reconsid-
cred and reversed by the election Of
1922 But the polite reception ac-
corded NJ Clemenceau even while the
nation was quietly smiling at the alb
surdity of his Propositions would in
dictate that sentiment has been con-
solidated and made impervious to all
such propaganda. Yet two or three
men of prominence like Hamilton Halt /
can get up a meeting any day that !
would make noise enough to suggest /
that the whole country was clamoring /
for chance to become a party to the |
rival factions which are cOntending |
for territory or spoil in Europe. SO |
it goes. But Senator Borah will make |
no mistake if and when he goes to

can peoples eyes are open and clear,

this is so regardless of fragmentary

THE coRREcTT VIEW OF MINING
AND TAXATION.

on the first page Of this issue Of the
Miner Guy Flenner. Of Boise, gives a
most interesting discussion Of the re-
lation of mining to the agricultural in
dustries of the state and the method OF
mine taxation as practiced under the
laws of Idaho. Mr.. Flenner was for
many years editor of the Boise States
man and is perhaps the most widely
known newspaper man in the state.
Since retiring from active newspaper
work he has given much attention to
industrial publicity which has result
ed in much benefit to the state. He
has been q close student OF agricul-
tural conditions in southern Idaho
and is an authority on irrigation
which has transformed thousands of
acres of sage brush desert into pro-
ductive farms. Mr.. Flenner is now di-
rector of the greatest irrigating pro-

the state and possibly in the west.
This project will involve the eXpendi-
ture of millions of dollars in the con-
struction of a storage dam at Ameri-
can Falls and canals and laterals
which will reclaim a vast acreage OF
sage brush land in addition to sup
planting the Miner dam in supplying
the Twin Falls and North Side tracts
From this it must be evident that
when Mr.. Flenner talks about taxation
and the direct relationship existing
between the farmer and the miner he
is dealing with a subject upon which
he is thoroughly informed, and fur
Their that he is talking for the purpose
OF promoting the permanent prosper
ity of the people of Idaho. He is not
misled by the large profits Of the COM
paratively few dividend paying mines
in Idaho, for back of these he sees the
enormous investment the hazard and
the steadily depicting resources, and
be further sees the hundreds of aban- /
doned tunnels and shafts representing /
losses many times greater than the /
widely published profits But even
these losses represent profit to the
state, for the money was distributed
through the payment of wages and the
of supplies. providing a mar

OF WHISPERS AND THE SHAVING
OF THEM.

(From 1.-The Point of View" in Feb
ruary Scribner's.)
A beard is the most persistent thing
in all the world. Defeated, slain, it
falls only to rise again Upon the fer
tile hillsides of ones cheeks and chin
or in the shady hooks near the Adams
apple, it sprouts eternally. Like Ten
nyson's brook, can imagine my beard
Wanting its triumph, it's ability to

The safety razor blade gives fair
satisfaction the first time or two 1t is
used, in order that its user may be
deluded into buying more of the same
brand. But after this brief period of
efficiency il becomes a torture device.
Shaving becomes a matter of brute
strength and stoical endurance-the
same thing as stump pulling on
smaller scale. Theoretically, a lathers
function is to soften the beard and
prepare it for the blade. Actually, it
merely serves to provide a soap screen
through which the brood thirsty blade
may sneak down upon the minor
bumps, corners and protuberances of
ones face, and slice them off, under
cover with momentary impunity.
When a sufficient amount of face
and beard has thus been removed, we
apply soothing lotions to an outraged
epidermis, and repair the wreckage as
best we can. Speak to me not of the
martyrs of the church, for they are
as nothing compared to those millions
Of today who endure daily martyrdom
under the razor. The blood of the
martyrs would appear as the most in

eoRAH INVITED To EUROPE.
Lewiston Tribunel

Senator Borah is the outstanding
figure in American public life today,
excepting only the titular representa-
tives of the government, the president
and the secretary of state. This is
so. first because he has things to say
which engage public attention, and
second because he is able to say them
without being restricted by the claims
of either governmental responsibility
or party regularity. He is both free
and fearless, within the bounds of
what he deems reasonable and con-
siderate. Others exercise quite as
much independence-Reed of Missou-
ri and LaFollette, for example-but
none of them carries anything like the
interest and the authority that Mr..
Borah does. His position is both uni
que and distinctive. It is a position
we shall hope Mr. Borah is able 70
hold and to improve in the interest Of
future public service of such nature
as the event may unfold to him who
is prepared for the opportunity when
it arrives
According TO the New York Herald
the Idaho senator has been invited to
Europe to clear up 'the confusion ex-

MAKE LIBERAL PROVISION FOR
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

This state can not afford to curtail
the financial support necessary for
the maintenance and growth of its
educational institutions under the
plea of economy. To do so would be
taking a backward step that would be
a serious reflection upon the charac-
ter of its citizenship and a heavy
handicap upon the citizenship Of the
future. Through the operation Of our
excellent and progressive educational
system, the schools of Idaho have ex-
perienced a remarkable growth. From
the standpoint OF administrative abil-
ity and efficiency of instructors, they
rank among the best in the west.
These superior advantages have nat
uraiIy resulted in a rapid increase in
enrolment particularly at the state
university, which has taxed the hous-
ing and other facilities to the limit
The question for the legislature to
answer is, what are we going to do
about it? Are we going to allow this
crowded condition to continue through
a false notion Of economy, and thus
perforce drive hundreds Of young men
and women Of Idaho to educational
in other states? Too
many are enrolled IN outside colleges

East and West
(Author Unknown

Men look to the East for the dawning
things.
For the light of the rising sun;
But they look to the West to the
crimson West
For view of the things that are
done
For the eastward sun is newborn
hope.
From the dark of the night distilled,
But the westward sun is the sunset
sun,
The sun of hope fulfilled
For there in the East they have al
ways come
The cradle that gave the birth
To all the hopes of the hearts of men
To all the hopes of the earth.
For there in the East a Christ arose.
And there in the East there cleaned
The dearest dream and the clearest
dream
That a prophet ever dreamed
But into the waking West they came,
With the dream child of the East,
And they found the hope they had
hoped of old
A thousandfold increased.
For there in the East we dreamed the
dream
OF the things we hoped to do,
But here in the West, the crimson
West,
The dreams of the East came true.

The Cats were able to gather only five hits off. his fast one, however, and had 1t not been for Kraft's timely hit, the Initial clash of the southern classic would have gone Into extra innings.
 Stoner was invincible and the only run that the Pelicans were able to register was unearned, an error by Kraft paving the way.
 The Pels counted first, Dowie start ing the third inning by taking a fast one in the ribs. Martina hit to Kraft. Iwho juggled the ball and then threw wild to first, Dowie taking third and Martina, second. Bogart's infield hit filled the bases. Gilbert forced Dowie

 The Southern association cham pions never carried dangerous thrat and Stoner held them at his mercy, sending five of them back to the bench via the shut out rout.
 Gilberts southerners accorded Mar tina great support, flashing two fast double plays, but lacked the punch Ito figure in the hitting end.
 On the other hand, the Texans put up a rather shabby fielding game, but hit in the pinches.

SEWANEE, Tenn, Sept. 24.-(spe- cial.)-An analysis of the sewanee- Carson Newman game Saturday, which resulted in a scoreless tie, shows that the Tigers outplayed the Baptists in the passing and bunting game, while the two teams were evenly matched when it came to gain ing through the line and around the ends.
 sewanee completed ten passes for IA yards, while Carson Newman s eight went only s5. Six Tiger passes were incomplete, but IS of Carson Newmans fell or were knocked to the ground. In defense against for ward passes, the Tigers are much ahead of their work last year.
 In the matter of bunting, Sanders for the Tigers got off four for 135 yards, an average of 34 per trial, while Abbott made only 173 yards on six trials, an average of 29 yardz Powers and Baird returned the Bap- tist punts 37 yards. while the best Hutchins could do was to return five yards when Sanders punted.
 On the Tiger kick off, Carson New man returned five yards: but when Carson-N Newman kicked off at the be- ginning of the second half Powers struggled through for 35 yards.
 Each team gained 90 yards through the line and around the ends during the game, Powers for the Tigers ac- counting for 40 yards, Gene Harris IS, Sanders 13, and Baird and Gibbons 12 each. Powers lost 29 yards on at tempted runs. and Baird lost 10. The Baptists were thrown on several oc- casions for short losses, totaling 23 yards.
 Sewanee made eleven first downs during the game to Carson Newman's 8 eight. The Tigers were penalized sev- eral times for offside, while Carson Newman drew penalties for off-side having only six men on the line, and rough playing.
 The teams were almost evenly matched in the matter of weight, if anything Carson Newman having a slight advantage in that respect.
 Green Benton of Nashville, playing at tackle for the Tigers, suffered a broken leg in the second quarter, and is out for the balance of the season Benton has scrubbed faithfully for two seasons, and was counted on to do stellar work this year in the Tiger line.
 Delmas Gooch, who starred last year at end on the freshman team, had his ankle sprained during the third quarter. but will probably be in shape for the game next Saturday against Howard. Gooch's long suit Is in receiving forward passes, the tall
