RING OUT THE OLD, RING IN

In spite of failures, disappointments
ana hopes unfulhlled, the people OF
the Occur dAlene district can never
theless look back upon the old year

with new mines promising to dupn-
cate the records OF the old, and with
many mines yet to be round; with the

with zinc slowly but surely advanc-
ing to place Of greater Importance;
with silver holding its own in anti
cipation OF better days; with labor
employed at high wages; with the
mines steadily returning substantial
profits, and with business in all lines
in a prosperous condition-with all
these elements OF present and future
prosperity firmly established in the
Occur d'Alenes, We can turn from the
old year with feelings OF satisfaction
and welcome the new confident that
it viii witness even greater achieve
ments
AS the old year merges into the
dawn OF the new, the Miner extends
greetings to its readers with all good
wishes for happiness and prosperity
Ring out the old. ring in the new
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

EAsToN's INTERVIEW.
Lewiston Banner.

While there may be doubt in the
minds of some folks as to the results
of the present dry law and its en-
forcement, there is no question in
the minds of most big business men
as to the benefits of present day con
ditions over those of days gone BY
Stanley A. Easton, general manager
of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany, in the Occur d'Alenes-the
worlds greatest silver-lead property
according to recent statement-has
lately given an interview approving
the dry" laws and their enforcement
which is to the point. 1t is printed
elsewhere and is not only a first rate
punch for dry law enforcement but
at the same time, a pointed answer
to the recent plea of Spokane's one
time mayor and would be popular Or
ator, ex-Rev. w. J. Hindley whose
plea at a recent public meeting for
return to the wide open" town con
ditions at Spokane as an aid to bust
ness and an assistance to the 25,OVO
homeless" men who make that CITY
their headquarters created no little
comment.

TAX REDUCTION AND THE DEMO
CRATIC RECORD.

It's funny, isn't 1t, the way the
Democrats are floundering around in
their effort TO find landing place on
the tax reduction plan proposed by
Secretary Mellon. First, they started
in TO criticise, and then when they
found the plan overwhelmingly pop
ular they tried to steal some thunder
by asserting that a Democrat pro-
posed a somewhat similar reduction
the first year the Republicans We're
in power. First, the scheme is bad,
and then they want credit for origin
ating 1t.
Quite likely a Democrat did propose
a reduction of taxes in the first days
of the Republican Administration.
That is the sort of a trick you would
expect Democrat to play. The
Democratic regime ran up the biggest
debt the country ever had and did it
largely by waste and extravaganza.
When the country repudiated that
party and put the Republicans in
power to pull the Nation out of debt
and deficits, it was easy for the Demo
Gratis, having no responsibility, to
play petty politics by proposing inn
practicable reductions They thought
they could make the taxpayers be-
lieve that the Democrats were their
friends. Few were fooled. The Re
publicans proceeded to reduce ex-
penditures, thus paving the way for
tax reductions.

KANSAS GOVERNOR is Al S o
WILLING TO RUN.

Governor Davis of Kansas has an
uounced his willingness to become a
candidate for the Presidency, if the
Democrats of his state desire that /
enter the larger field of running for
President" His choice of language
is most happy for the field is certainly
"a large one: SO large. in fact, that one
must carry around memorandum
pad to keep track of all the aspirants.
4 desire for publicity seems the only
way to account for such multiple
city of candidates Gov. Davis and
all the rest of them must realize that
whoever gets the nomination faces
certain defeat--possibly even more
conclusive than that which over
whelmed Mr.. Cox in 1920 Never has
the Republican party gone before the
people with more impressive record
of achievement than that which will
attend its candidate next year Mr..
Harding was elected on the promise
to maintain certain foreign policies
and establish needed reforms in our
domestic affairs. The promise has
been fulfilled and the record is well /
known by ALL Nothing that the Dem
ocrats or their candidate can do or
say viii alter the truth or detract
from it's popular appeal.

MONEY FOR MINING DEVELOP
MENT AND HOW TO GET IT.

In the course OF an extensive cor
respondence growing out their unique
and successful mining promotions,
Suatton & Stratton recently received
a letter from a gentleman in New
York which we believe reflects the
attitude of many other stockholders
in mining development enterprises.
This correspondent says he has
rather extensive interests in the
Occur d'Alenes and elsewhere in this
country and Canada" Ae evidently
knows the inherent risk in mining as
well as the possibilities OF large
profits. and is perfectly willing to
assume the former if the promoter or
management to use a trite express
sion, places the cards on the table
and keeps them there That his ex-
perience in the Occur d'Alene dist
rict has not been characterized by
this open candor regarding company
affairs on the part of local manage
ments is indicated by the following
rather caustic comment taken from
his letter.
Your plan of financing is GER
tainly unique and appeals to me-
If, perchance. you see tit to de-
part from the usual method of
promotions in avoiding informa-
ton to stockholders. and will take
the trouble to issue to your stock
holders occasional advices as to
the progress of the work and the
then status, be it favorable or
unfavorable you viii find there
is plenty Of money available by
persons who are willing TO take
chance. My own experience
with many of the arrangements
in the Occur d'Alenes is one of
disgust, and 1 have not hesitated
to advise my many friends to
keep out The utter stagnation
of the stocks of the various COM
panies on the Spokane stock eX-
change tells it's own story"
The foregoing story contains much
food for reflection. particularly
among those who are constantly harp
ing upon the difficulty in getting
money for mining development Var
io,,s evnianatione are piven for the
apathy Of the public toward mining
at the time when the outlook for the

Highest and Lowest Points in the
World.

World.
The maximum difference in eleva-
ton of land in the United States is
14,777 feet, according to the Geological
Survey of the Department of the
Interior. Mount Whitney, the highest
point is 1861 feet above sea level.
and a point in Death Vallay is 276
feet below sea level. These two points
which are both in California, are less
than 80 miles apart. This difference
is small, however, as compared with
the figures for Asia. Mount Everest
rises 29.O02 feet above sea level,
whereas the shores of the Dead Sea
are 1890 feet below sea level, a total
difference in land heights of 30,292
feet Mount Everest has never been
climbed. The greatest ocean depth
yet found is S2,OSS feet, at a point
about 40 miles north of the island of
Mindanao, in the Philippine islands
The ocean bottom at this point is
therefore more than liz miles below
the summit of Mount Everest. The
difference in the land heights in
Europe is about 1865 feet.

MOVIES

In Peacock Alley" which was shown last night at the Empress The ater, Mae Murray does the most strik- ing characterization of her career It is a picture which to the natural in terest of powerful love story is add ed the attraction of gorgeous settings and wonderful costumes.
 The story opens in a small Ameri- can village, shifts to Paris, back to the village and then to New York. It pictures the adventures of Parisian dancer who forsakes the plaudits and favors of the gay city of pleasure to become the wife of a small town American youth only to find that her husbands people are scandalized at her and will have nothing to do with her. Then the youthful lovers try to make their way in New York but the big city proves full of trouble which the lovers finally solve but not in the way that either expected.
 AS Cleo of Paris, the dancer, Miss Murray does the finest acting of any of her pictures. There is no artist on the screen can display gorgeous costumes to better advantage than the blonde star and she has wealth of them in Peacock Alley" Monte Blue in the role of the small town husband played the part to perfection. Final showing tonight.
 A cluser of wedding bells with moss encrusted surfaces flashes on the screen for a few minutes in "The Brides Play" with Marion Davies, Cosmopolitan production for Para mount which will be shown at the Empress theater tomorrow. This touch gives a delightful sense of me- dieval times and is only one of the many instances of careful attention to detail which stamp "The Brides Play" as picture of exceptional beauty There are two stories out lined in "The Brides Play"-one of modern times in which Miss Davies is a charming brunette and another of medieval days in which she is ra- diant blonde.

LAWSUITS FAIL TO
 MAR NUPTIAL BLISS
Wife Has Two Actions Pending Against Her Husband, but
 They Live Together

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, March 19.- Although his wife had made him defendant in two Supreme Court actions, Charles K. Ahearn, known to his friends as "Spats" Ahearn prominent local real estate dealer to all appearances is still living amicably with her in their home al Mo- 130 Murray Avenue.
 In one action his wife, Julia charges that he conspired to defraud her out of their home, to which she until recently held the deed.
 In the second action his wife ac cused "Spats" of failing to support her properly. Although Ahearn sup ported the household, his wife de clares that $5 week was her al lowance with clothing and suitable entertainment.
 Mrs. Julia Ahearn, leader in her fashionable set, recently told of her difficulties.
 "Whenever I asked Charlie for money to buy clothes," she said, "he told me to open charge accounts at the downtown stores. But when I'd ask the stores for credit it was try and get it.
 Mrs. Ahearn admitted she and her husband were living on good terms at their home, out of which she accuses him of trying to cheat her.
 "Yes, we are living together and are fairly friendly" she said with a laugh, "but didn't intend to let him put anything over on me-
 There is one son of their fifteen year marriage, Charles K. Ahearn. Jr. In her complaint Mrs. Ahearn declares that her husband does not support the boy properly.
 Both actions growing out of the matrimonial difficulties of the Ahearns will be tried at the coming session of Supreme Court here, it is believed.
 "Spats" Ahearn acquired his nick name last New Years Eve, according to an amusing anecdote told by his friends.
 Near the witching hour, when rev. elry was at it's height at a local hotel, Ahearn entered. Keeping his overcoat and hat on he stopped at the checkroom, it is asserted, re- moved his spats and checked them.
 Then, solemnly and with dignity, he made the rounds of the tables, greeting his friends. He did not stop. When he had completed the rounds he walked back to the check room, recovered his spats, donned them, and slowly walked out.

New York, Sept. S.-Such week,
such week.
You have to have intelligence now
to get into Barnard, for example.
They are giving mental tests TO
candidates for admission and these
psychological tests NAV. in time take
the place of other examinations. If
the mental tests are rigidly adhered
TO, great deal of moronism should
be eliminated even before ,the hazing
season starts and long ere the junior
prom is due. 1t has always been a
matter of wonder to the innocent by
stander, how so many boys and girls
have been able TO get through college
without a brain.
by this new method. il no trace
of brain is discovered, the parents of
the candidate will be spared the ex-
pense of varsity ties, gold plated hip
TASKS and the other bijouterie es-
sential to the higher education.
Ellis Island Again.
And there's the Ellis Island prob
lem again. Honestly in a land where
most of us are immigrants, it does
seem queer that nobody does any
thing about these quotas. Here come
three or four vessels crowding for
place in order TO be the first to dock.
And they crowd so effectively that
the land their immigrants some fif-
teen seconds before the old quota ex-
pres. Consequently 1000 people are
kept in suspense for a week while
the authorities quarrel about whether
they can stay.
Not only that, but also two young
Swedes, brother. sister, highly edu-
Gated and very wealthy, got here lust
after the quota from Finland was
exhausted. Though Swedes, Finland
is where they were born. and not
even the offer of n SJ000O0 bond
TO make reasonably sure that they
wouldn't become public charge
proved much aid against the bales of
red tape.
Keep all immigrants out by all
means, say we, but for mercy's sake.
why act on the assumption that
of thousands of immigrants
come over TO Ellis Island just for the
ride.
