spiritual development.
The board sets forth that most Of
the buildings and equipment at the
state penitentiary are antiquated and
that the state will soon face the ne
cessity of building a new penitentiary.
Modern cell equipment and cell houses
must be demanded soon. One Of the
features most needed at this time is
the providing of a dormitory for the
separation Of the boys or frst-terms
from the more or less habitual Grim
inals.
In the meantime the board will use
every effort to improve sanitary sys-
TENS under the present schedule. The
new shirt factory will aid materially
in solving problems of discipline, since
it will not only give employment to
idle hands and brains, but will give
many prisoners an opportunity to
earn a slight pay.

the American Mining Congress has
taken an advanced step in the crea-
ton of a division of industrial coop
GRAFTON, which promises to accomplish
most beneficial results in the mining
industry and which may in time ex-
tend its good offices to other lines
Working to the same end the Nation
al Economic league, with headquarters
in Boston and with membership in
every state in the union, has a special
committee Of distinguished men which
has just issued a report after extend
ed investigation, on the readjustinent
of industrial relations.
The committee recommends that
employees should be given participation
in management under certain limi1a-
tiOns, and that they should he given
the opportunity to acquire some fin
ancial interest in the establishments
in which they work. The committee
concludes that the term industrial
democracy is misleading and should
he abandoned, that employees as a
whole, are not interested in assuming
the responsibilities of management;
and that while they shoulG be given
the opportunity TO have voice in
management on matters affecting
their immediate welfare. it would be
inadyisable to have them participate
in management on questions of policy,
such as selling. purchasing, finance,
and similar matters An important
point made by the report is that en-
ployes and executives should lie gwen
more instruction. in the economies of
business as a step to better industrial
relations.
The committee finds that the move
ment for representation of employees
in the discussion and adjustment of
working conditions is spreading rap
idly. and that, in the majority of cases
where such plans have been tried,
they have been successful in estab-
fishing better relations. With few
exceptions the plans in operation give
employees advisory powers only and
that says the committee seems to lie
the most practicable method of repre-
sentation at present.

FORD BUSINESS FACTS.

Leaving Henry Fords presidential
hopes or intentions out of the account
these matter of fact items concerning
him are interesting: He completed his
first automobile in June 1903 and sold
/ it early in July His first years out
put was 17OS cars. This year the
Ford Motor company estimates its
production at 100000 cars It has
grown to be one of the largest indus
trial organizations in the world, if not
the largest.
The parent plant. 800 acres in eX-
tent, has 1913 acres under roof and is
the worlds largest individual automo-
bile factory. In addition, the COM
pany has the worlds largest foundry
operates it's own blast furnaces, ma
chine shops, body plant, sawmill, coke
ovens. locomotive repair shops and
tractor plants.
The company is producing cars and
trucks at the rate of 600 day, while
5000 dealers and $4,000 authorized
service stations distribute its product
and maintain it's contact with the
public. The man who created this
enormous business enjoys the largest
income of any living man. He had
only district school education. He
is so years old.

attempt to bring it about. II is even
demanded by many that the govern
ment by some hook or crook, lend its
aid to setting up some sort of a pro-
gram that will restrain trade in
wheat and other agricultural products
for the benefit of the producer-no
claim is made that any benefit will
accrue to the consumer. They are
just as cold blooded in this respect as
are the oil producers. Decreased pro
duction, orderly marketing storage
warehouses;, and the like are being
advocated-even demanded under gov
ornamental edict-not only to prevent
further decline in agricultural pro-
ducts but to actually raise the price to
the producer.
Decreased production, through
agreement of the producers, is just as
much conspiracy in the one case as
in the other. Orderly marketing
means that the product would be with
held from the market kept in the
hands of the producer. and is just as
much a combination in restraint of
trade in the one case as in the other
Gwen now the producers of wheat
are being advised to do this very thing
in fact the government is being i'm
portuned to furnish the means to the
end storage warehouses where grow
ers may store their product until such
a conspiracy has withheld the product
from the market and has forced an
advance in price, compelling the con-
sumner to pay more.
"And there is no doubt. if such a
program can be put into operation. of
its success, either as it effects the
price of oil products or the prices of
agricultural products. But in the one
case it is deemed a cruel conspiracy;
in the other a virtuous charity Verify
we are funny folks"

prospector and mining promoter. The
oil industry has been very popular. it
has taken more than it's just share
and has been responsible for a great
deal of fraud and chicanery.
1t is difficult to raise capital for
small mining enterprises, but the
blue sky" laws are minor factor in
the situation and in our judgment are
more of an advantage than a disad
vantage. Mining suffers from the OPP
erations of dishonest promoters; most
of them have gone into the momen-
tarily bigger field of the oil industry
Both the mining and oil industries
will benefit by restricting within legal
bounds the operations of these gentry.
On the whole anything which will
give the small investor a square deal
in mining-and this is what the "blIe
sky" laws are doing fairly we'll
should be encouraged by mining men
No doubt the ''blue sky" laws can he
improved, but, as they are, they are
playing an important function. Re
Gently, one Nof our engineer friends

in the Randsburg district of California
the blue sky laws delayed the Sc
curing of capital for about six months
but they did not prevent sufficient
capital from being secured and used
in the exploration of that district. In
his opinion the district will be thor
oughly explored and whatever money
is lost will be lost by those amply able
to lose it. This is a better outcome
than could have been secured under
the old methods.
We believe that blue sky" laws are
here to stay and that mining men
should get behind the men who are
these laws and do their
share in keeping mining a clean and
legitimate field for speculation and in
vestment. The American Mining Con-
gress must clean its eye glasses and
take another look at the blue sky
situation. In our opinion it has been
misled and has not earnestly
studied it's economics, nor has it dug
ieeply enough into the facts.

POLICY OF THE PRISON BOARD
ANNOUNCED

The Idaho penitentiary is not going
TO be turned into pleasure resort for
those who are consigned to sojourn
within its walls but is going to be
made to conform to more modern
ideas Of penal servitude without sac
rhcing the sound principle of making
the punishment fit the crime At a
recent meeting of the prison board
which is composed of the governor
attorney general and secretary of
state, its policy in connection with the
state prison was outlined In general
the board believes that the prisoners
should be restrained for a length of
time reasonably commensurate to the
offense committed; while in prison
they should have comfortable cloth
ing, good food and a clean, well ventil-
ated place to sleep; they should have
sufficient work to keep body and mind
employed for days work and that

PRISON THE PLACE FOR THEM.

(St Louis Times)
Ten political prisoners refuse to ac-
cept Communication of their sentences
on the conditions laid down by the
president of the United States-that
they obey the laws in the future, and
prove themselves good citizens of the
country which shelters them. To thus
agree, the political prisoners assert
would be to stultify themselves. No
doubt they are right. Assuredly it
would be a marked change for them
to leave off abusing their government
and make themselves law-abiding, pa
triotic Americans. Rather than at
tempt so sharp a departure from their
past way of thinking and doing, these
ten political prisoners will remain il
the penitentiary. 1t is, all good citi-
zenship will agree, the place for such
crooked thinkers. Whether mentally
or morally decrepit, men who harbor
hatred of the republic which is their
home, and which affords them oppor-
tunities for useful and happy living
lunequaled by those of any other land
on earth, are untitled for the respon-
sibilities of freedom. They are unfit
ted to associate on terms of equality
with the honest and conscientious men
and women of this nation. Society
can well reconcile itself to their choice
of continued Imprisonment rather than
good behavior outside iron bars and
stone walls.

RUNNING THE RAILROADS.
Chicago Tribune)

It is easy to find fault with Ameri o.
can railroads, for nothing is perfect
and the theory that if the government
takes them over their shortcomings
will be cured because we, the people.
will then run them without hindrance
from Wall street or tribute to capital
appeals to some minds. But the peo-
pie of this great mid-empire of the
Mississippi valley, which has prosper
ed as few regions Of the world have
done, and prospered under the system
of private property and private initia-
tive, would do well to compare our
railroads. their service and their rates,
with those of the state roads of Eur
ope.
European countries today are stag
gering under the burden of bureaucra-
cy with its enormous army of state
employees. That is what nationalist
ton means, and we doubt if Ameri-
cans want to adopt it. Politicians OF
the radical branch preach government
ownership, naturalization, because it
means more power for themselves
But why should any sensible Ameri-
can think the politicians can rum our
railroads efficiently and economically?
Naturalization means political man
pulation and political manipulation
means waste and inefficiency. 1t
would put blight on American pros
)erity and especially the prosperity of
he middle west.

The Great Event
douglas Malloch)

Into each life shall come some great
Event
Obliterating all that was before
And making all that comes incense
quent,
The measure of our life forevermore.
Some episode our whole career in
clines,
Some hour of sweetness so surpass-
ing all
It is the truth in all life's faulty lines.
In all the songs of birds the perfect
call.
And so that song has summoned even
me;
l. who had been busy with SO many
things,
The small concerns that seemed so
great to be-
have been lifted mp on sudden
wings.
The night is fair that once was dark
and drear
The day is joyous that was full of
care;
The clouds are gone. the sun, the
stars, appear,
And now the world is beauty every
where.
Some alchemy transfgures all the
earth,
Toll now is pleasure, once a weary
round;
New friends draw near. the old have
greater worth,
The wealth of human hearts my
heart has found.
Now merrily I climb the hard ascent,
But now the grass is green, the sky
is blue;
Into each life shall come some great
Event,
And, in my own, that great Event
was You.

WARREN c. HARDING.

Men may differ regarding the ac-
complshments of his administration,
but there can be no division Of opn-
ion regarding the fine personality, sin
cere motives, deep desire to serve all
the people, high patriotism and Chris
tian character of Warren G.. Harding,
twenty president of the United
States We believe that history will
accord him high place among the
great men who have occupied the
presidential chair, but at this time it
would be hardly possible to place a
proper estimate upon his work. He
entered the White House at time
when his country was confronted with
problems, both international ana dom
este, which baffled statesmen and
economists. A pail OF business de-
preston had fallen upon the country,
labor was without employment, I'M
AV0A DiSNuhNu tul ouSutul tue iohti
and insidious alien propaganda sought
TO undermine our system of popular
government It was under these con-
ditions that Warren c. Harding took
up the helm of the ship of state The
problems to be solved were new, the
outgrowth of the world war. and there
was no precedent to guide. With
serene confidence. sublime faith, and
an all-embracing desire to bring pros
perity, happiness and contentment to
his countrymen, President Harding
took up the task to which he had
been called by an unparalleled ma
jority of the people. What he would
have accomplished had he been per-
mitted to complete his term must for
ever be a matter OF fruitless specula-
ton, but we do know that with his
term little more than half expired
he had the profound satisfaction of
seeing the business and Industrial in
terests Of the country on sound and
prosperous basis, labor employed at
good wages, unrest rapidly receding,
and the enemies OF our government
silenced or subdued.
Rejoicing in this happy change and
with well advanced plans to further
promote the welfare of his beloved
country President Harding carried |
out a long considered purpose to visit
the people west OF the Mississippi and
far away Alaska to learn first hand
their problems and to assist in solv-
ing them in accordance with their
hopes and aspirations But the strain
of continuous ovation added to the
weight Of care and responsibility of
his great Office proved too great even
for his wonderful physical organism,
and the vital chord snapped in the
very hour his countrymen were re-
joicing in his recovery from a brief
illness.
In the midst of nspeakable grief
at his untimely passing his countrymen
will recall with ever growing pride the
gentle, useful, pure and Christian life
Of Warren c. Harding, which will for
ever be an inspiration to high and
achievement.

OIL AND WHEAT PRICE CONTROL
COMPARED.

We reprint below an editorial from
the North Side News. published at
Jerome in the center of one of the
largest and most productive agricul-
tural areas in southern Idaho. The
News is a consistent and able advo-
cate of the interests of the farmer but
has not been misled by the specious
plea that the government should guar
antee the price of his wheat and
frankly tells its readers, mostly farm
ers, why il is opposed TO this pater-
nalistic scheme. In the following edi-
torial the News makes an apt com.
parison of the manner in which the
recent proposal of large oil producers
to control the output as a means of
controlling the price and the persist
ent clamor of self appointed spolses-
man for the farmers to fix the price of
wheat:
For some time the rapid and I'M
called for development of the oil re-
sources of the country have been at
tracing the serious attention of not
only the Oil producers themselves but
Of economists generally The big Cal
ifOrnia field has brought to the surface
great quantities of oil long before il
was needed. The situation is very
similar to that of coal-more oil te--
ritory is being opened up than there |
is any use for. This is occasioning /
unspeakable waste and exhausting the |
supply needlessly.
The other day group of mid con- (
tinent refiners took the bull by the !
horns and agreed to close down their I
plants. They give as a reason that
the excessive production means
great over supply and the consequent (
fall in prices through competition to
the point where many refneries would 1,
be forced to close and their operators
forced into bankruptcy
