SATURDAY. JUNE 2s, 1925.
The Mining Congress.

~HE alert people who are making
plans for the Mining congress
to be held in salt Lake city
early in July. have sent to the dele
gates now attending at Denver the
Federation of women's Clubs an inNl-
tation to extend their trip TO Utah and
see what a mining congress is like. ii
the club women from the East accept
the invitation. they will always be glad
they did IL. Whether the proceedings
of the mining congress interest them
or not. they will enjoy the city and it's
UNIQUE sights and they will be pleas
antly impressed with Utah's hospi-
tally.
Indeed. II seems to us that the SOCIAL
side of this congress is its most essen
tial part. II is well enough, perhaps,
that men who live in mining regions
meet and discuss questions relating to
the industry; although. really. 1T is not
of record that anything that vitality
promotes the mining industry is the
product of any mining congress, nor
does one easily discover the benefits
that can flow from sessions of the
sort.
As a rule. the promoters Of these
mining congresses give the utmost pub
licity to the announcement that n of
the objects is 70 secure the passage of
a law that will add to the presidents
abine a secretary of mining. Like the
curl in a pigs tail. that office would
be more for ornament than use. II
would add one more to the too-large
number of political places. Ours is
not a government by cabinet, but we
have to have a certain number of cabi-
net oficers-a secretary Of state be-
cause we have foreign relations. a sec
rotary of wal or of the navy because
the nation carries on what wars we
have: a secretary of the interior be-
cause the federal government has its
public d~omain-and so through the
list.
Foolishly. ten years ago, the govern
ment added a secretary Of agriculture.
Nothing ever has come of that innova-
ton except scandal in the scattering
of free seed; the office has been used
by men like Jerry Rusk and j. Sterling
Morton chiefly to promote their idle
presidential ambitions. They have
ministers of mining in a few foreign
countries where the government has
direct control or interest in mining
operations. The movement for a sec
rotary of mining in the cabinet is a
carpet-knight scheme. a secretary thus
chosen would simply be one more we'll
fed politician in the presidential circle
with a lot Of patronage to handle.
The word is out. but not in an official
way, tina the Salt Lake Mining con-
gress will not take action on the silver
question. If this turns out TO be true,
1t will b. strange enough; IL will make
more troublesome than ever the answer
10 the question as to what a mining
congress is for. The Standard hears
that Montana will have representation
at the Salt Lake congress. This states
people will certainly expect those who
are TO represent Montana to insist that
a body of delegates presuming To rep
resent mining states demand an eN-
preston on the question of free coin
e Otherwise il viii be felt every
where in this state that the governor
of Montana blundered when he Needed
the request for the appointment a
delegates.
