There is certain nobility about the
occupation of a miner which attaches to
few If any other callings. In other call
ings a dollar made is dollar won or
snatched from the pocket OF fellow COM
petitor in the same line of business bl t
dollar made by the miner makes u g
whole world "a dollar richer, as it is taken
from no mans pocket but is taken in its
native state from mother earth. 1t is Il
dollar which has no associations of crime
want or misery to be ashamed of, because
it is virgin dollar uncontaminated by
the vile worldly uses to which money is
put. If any one OF the usageworn mil
lions of dollars of commerce could tell its
own history and the uses to which it had
been put, a tale OF human depravity would
be disclosed such as no man ever heard,
but the miners dollar is as pure as the
driven snow and fit company for angels
themselves hence it is that the streets of
heaven are said to be paved with gold.-
Prescott Courier.
Two years ago the states of Washington
and Wyoming were deprived of proper
senatorial representation because of the
inability of their respective legislatures
to agree on any one individual. 1t now
looks as if Oregon would be similarly stu
atsd. Here is another big argument for
making the election of senators by a
direct vote of the people instead of by the
state legislatures as now. This would do
away with lobbying and the purchase OF
senatorial seats as well as save thousands
of dollars to the states whose legislatures
fritter away half their time in a senseless
struggle. Arizona Daily Citizen.
