Government Ownership of Mines,

Somebody has taken the trouble to
dig up the records of the time when
the government of the United States
was the owner of mines and to show
what came of it,
Nearly a century ago, in 1907, con-
gress passed law reserving mineral
lands from entry aud sale, and au-
thorized the leasing of certain mineral
lands In 1892 it became necessary to
order Lieut. Jefferson Davis of the
United States army to 20 to Dubuque,
Ia, with a company Of soldiers to
eject from the lead mines in that sec
tion persons claiming them under a
Spanish grant.
In his first annual message, Decem-
ber, 1915, President Polk asked the
attention of congress to the leasing of
certain lead mines by .he government,
including those in the Galcna (Ill.)
district. He showed from the records
that these mines had yielded in rents
from 1871 to 1915, inclusive, the sum
of Sc, 354 "a, while the expenses for
these years had been $26, ,1l1.1l. In
consequence of this message the Prcsi-
dent was authorized to sell the lead
mines in the State of Illinois and
Arkansas and the territories of Iowa
The lesson of this is precisely the
same as that of all other attempts of
the government to do business for
which it was not ordained. The al
most invariable result is lax admin
istration, high cost and unsatisfactory
returns. Socialistic experiments ig-
more the facts of human nature. -

When a horse picks up a nail in his
foot what does the driver do? Does he
whip the imping, tagging animal and
force him along? Not unless he wants
to ruin the horse. At the first sign of
lameness he jumps down, examines the
foot and carefully removes the cause of
the lameness. What is called weak
stomach is like the lameness of the
horse, only to be cured by removing
the cause Of the trouble If you stimu-
late the stomach with whisky medi-

OhimneYs Should be CLEANED,

y business man who resides in a
densely settled part of the town where
wooden buildings predominate calls at
tention to the fact that there should
be a wholesale cleaning of chimneys
about town before winter sets in. This
is rendered necessary, he says, by the
burning of wood and soft coal, which
during the summer and fall We're used
nearly exclusively. The chimneys are
pretty we'll coated with SCOT by this
time and all that is needed to ignite
them is a single spark, which at any
time may find its way into the chimney
Several chilnneys have been on fire
of late but were discovered in time to
prevent damage. Should fire at any
time break out at night, or during the
prevalence of high wind it would be
very apt to communicate to the roof
and great loss of property might
ensue

ADMIRAL
APPEALS
REAR ADMIRAL SCHLEY SECURES
PRESIDENTS PERMISSION.
WILL BRING OUT NEW FACTS
Interview With President Regarded as
Confidential But Was satisfactory
/ Will Exhaust Every Means to
Overturn Judgment.
WILL BRING OUT NEW FACTS
ORy Associated Press.l


Washington Jan. THE object OF Adj
miral Schley's visit to the White house
yesterday was to request the president
to entertain and consider an appeal for
the reversal of the action of Secretary
Long and the disapproval of the ma
jorIty Judgment of the court OF In
quiry.
The interview was satisfactory, the
president granting the admirars request.
Messrs Raynor and league Will TOD ~
assist Admiral Schley In the preparation
of the appeal.
The interview with the president was
arranged in advance, and at its conclu-
sion Admiral Schley left the White
house in a satisfied state of mind. He
had been given a full opportunity to
present the case from his standpoint and
to acqnaint the president with many de-
tails with which the latter could not have
any knowledge.
While Admiral Schley would not make
any statement regarding the matters dis
cussed, holding that an Interview be-
tween a naval officer and his com
mander-in- chief should be regarded as
confidential, II is understood that he
brought to the presidents attention
many OF the alleged discrepancies of the
majority report of the court Of in
qury.
Admiral Schley's interview with the
president was tne result of his deter
mination to exhaust every means In his
power to overrurn the judgment which
has been rendered against him. Hi
new appeal will be different from thai
submitted to the department, bringing
out some new facts which have an ini-
portant bearing upon the controversy.
