THE SHARE or LABOR.

HAVING SETTLED or practically
II settled, the undigested securities
question. Banker Henry CIews in his
latest communication TO The Herald
drops back once more TO favorite
subject. the subject of labor and the
exorbitantN wages paid the working
man. Mr.. Clews has very little sym
pathy with anything which tends to
reduce the profits Of large corporations.
He does not believe the wheels OF prog
ress should be checked by the demand
OF the worker for living wages. Says
Mr.. Clews:
Industry is feeling the effect Of
high-priced materials and the aG-
vances in wages granted during the
last two years. A good many enter
prises involving fixed outlays OF cap
itaI are consequently postponed and
'ailroads are already delaying improve
ments wherever possible until costs
can be reduced II is significant that

while net earnings I'm the same period
gained only S19.O0OoOO. or about 10 per
cent this change being almost entirely
attributable 10 the increased cost Of

To is evident that NIr Clews is un-
aiterably opposed TO the theory that
the worker IS entitled 20 share in the
profits of the employer. on his own
showing the railroads ought TO be sat

their net earnings is sufficiently great
to please any corporation magnate who
doesn't want the entire earth nicely
fenced in for his especial benefit. If.
during the next few years. the present
ratio Of gain is maintained. the rail-
road business should be among the
country's most profitable industries.
And we desire TO cali attention To the
fact that in the west. at least, railroad
enterprises are not being held up or
discontinued because Of the high cost

a DEPARTMENT. OF MINING.

n HIS OPENING ADDRESS at the
sixth annual session Of the American
mining congress in Deadwood Presi-
dent J. H. Richards made a strong ar
gument in favor Of the establishment
of a government department of mines
and mining, in charge Of an official with
the rank Of a cabinet officer. The Her
aid believes Mr.. Richards argument is
sound. Among other things ne said:
"It is common knowledge what the de-
purtmCut of agriculture has done for tho

this cooperation on the part Of the

The miner is certainly entitled to rec

Gently compiled by DR.. David r. Day
Of the United States geological survey
the value of the mineral products of the
United States in 1901 was more than
$1,000 100000 This includes $S5O.00O 900
for coal. S242, OOO. 900 for pig iron So 900. -
900 for copper. S7S,OOO,OO0 for gold $780,
100000 for petroleum. $55.O0O,0O0 for
stone. $33.00O.0OO for silver, $27, O0O, 600 for
natural gas and S23.0OO.OOO for lead.
Here is a showing that would make
such recognition of the mining industry
as would be involved in the establish
ment Of a department Of mines and
mining proper and timely. Ii has been
said that we do not need such a depart
ment because there is a bureau of mines
in the department of the interior. True.
that is some recognition, but it is not
recognition in conformity with the i'm
portance Of the industry
The United States leads the world in
practically every branch of the mining
industry. We are the largest producers
Of coal. leading Great Britain, our near
est competitor by 43,VUO.OOO short tons

worlds total. We stand first in the
manufacture of pig irop, in the produc-

DRUNKENNESS NO EXCUSE.


= OLICE JUSTICE DIEHL very
L properly decided a few days ago
that drunkenness is not an excuse for
crime. The defendant had been prov
en- guilty Of a particularly atroeious
offense- By way of extenuation he set
up the plea that he was intoxicated at
the time Of its commission. The fell
low is now in the county jail. where
he properly belongs. Nor is there any
thing new about Judge DiehFs opinion
No less celebrated a commentator
than Blackstone something Ike $50
years ago laid down the same general
principle Of law. He wrOtes:
Thirdly; as to artificial, voluntarily con-
tracted madness. by drunkenness or in
toxication, which, depriving men of their
reason, puts them in a temporary frenzy;
our law looks upon this as an aggravatiOn
OF lne olIenss, rather Jnan as an excuse
Tor any criminal mlsDehaVlor. A drunk
ard, says Sir Edward Coke, who is vOlun-
uarius daemOn, hath no privilege thereby.
but what hurt or III sOever he dOeth, his
drunkenness doth aggravate it. The
Roman law, indeed, made great allow
ances for this vice But the law of Eng
land, considering how easy il IS to coun-
terfeit this excuse, and how weak an ex-
cuse 1t is Though read, viii not suffer
any man thus to privilege one crime by
another
Some judges go so far as to prevent
lawyers from proving that their clients
were drunk when the crimes charged
against them were committed. And
this is proper, too. Drunkenness is an
aggravetion of. rather than an excuse
for. crime. Many men viii become in
toxicated before they can gather
enough courage to accomplish a Grim
inal purpose Others viii pretend they
We're drunk when they were not drunk.
Still. cases are on record where
judges have permitted criminals to es-
cape punishment on this altogether un-
worthy plea. Such a case was reported
from Philadelphia the other day. A
man had stolen $4,000 from his en-
ployers. There was no doubt about
his guilt, because he confessed it in
open court. At the same time proof
was presented which showed that
when he took the money he was under
the influence of whisky
In this case I viii suspend SEN
tence," said the court, because / am
convinced that the theft was merely a
drunken freak" 1t is possible that
the embezzler may learn a lesson from
this experience, that he may hereafter
live a sober, honest life. Il so. no
harm has been done by freeing him,
but one can never tell. At any rate,
the principle of releasing a criminal
because of intoxication IS an extremely
dangerous one for any court to lay
down
