Under the heading. Legally dead; still
alive" The Topeka Capitol has this exr
ample:
man may be legally dead and yet be
very much alive In fact. Ten years ago
Fitch Marquis left his family in Kansas
and had never been heard of until the
other day when he turned up at La
Cygne. He refused to say where he had
been. His wife thougl.. him dead and
sued for a 5000 insurance policy he car
ried. The court decided she should pay
the premiums for seven years, and If he
did not show up that ne would De counted
as dead in this world. The widow paid
the premiums and at the end of seven
years drew her money. but Marquis Is not
dead.
That is all right as far as it goes, but
it doesn't go into all the details. If the
fellow is legally dead can he commit a
crime and be punished for it? Can he
commit matrimony? Can he buy, hold
and sell property? In short, If he is ''le-
gally dead" can he perform any legal
act or be punished for an Illegal one?
Where is he at?

a FooLTsH CONTRIBUTION.

One of the most absurd arguments nut
lup by some OF our -implacable contempo-
rarfes is the claim or assertion that the
Kansas City platform is the party law
and that Mr.. Bryan is the leader Of tina
Democracy. the intent Of the contention
being that Democrat must not criticise
either. In other words, because that plat
form is the last one Of the Party we are
bound to look on 1t as something sacred
and govern our thoughts and words by
its requirements. and because Mr.. Bryan
was the last Democratic candidate for
President, we must sit at hts feet. as Paul
sat at the feet OF GamafieI. and learn po-
litical wisdom from his lips.
For one, The Advertiser declines to do
anything of the kind. The Kansas City
platform was political abortion at the
start. 1t had power to bind the actions.
but not the consclences. of Democrats.
If they felt themselves bound by the ac-
ton Of their Party's convention, @they
were bound by its platform while the
campaign was on. When that ended the
Platforms influence ended. SO far as the
minds and consciences OF Democrats were
concerned. Some OF that platforms re-
quirements were abhorrent to Democrats
Of the old school. but they submitted be-
cause there was nothing else to be done
Did we, by that enforced submission,
pledge ourselves never in future to criti-
else or condemn the undemocratic TEA
lures Of that deliverance? Not by a large
majority. We feel Just as free to speak
of the faults anu failacies OF that plat
form as we do to speak of the platform
Of the Republican Party.
Nor is Mr.. Bryan the kind Of Democrat
from whom We can accept orders or coun-
sci, neither is he Democracy's leader. He
Is not the leader Of the Party or of any
thing else but his own wild vagaries and
ambitions. He has voluntarily put him
self outside the lines of the Democracy
we believe in. and has surrendered the
right to tell Democrats what they shall
or shall not do. He has no more claim to
advise Democrats than has George Fred
Williams, and to do SO is unmitigated as
sumacy on his part. He is a back num-
ber rejected by the people Of the United
State and discredited by his own mouth.
His former adherents are firing of him
and earnestly pray to be delivered from
fhim. He nor his platform are any longer
binding on good Democrats.

The Washington Post reasons in this
way:
Can the Democratic party AFFORD to nut
up any mild-nnannered man, without a

so original, resourceful and aggressive a

Democracy need for its leader a man who
has done things. and in doing them has
shown capacity for promptly and ably
meeting emergencies? The party has
such men at its disposal, and 1t seems to
US that this year is the time to make use
of that kind of material.
That is a question which should appeal
to all true Democrats who desire success
on Democratic lines. A ''mild-mannered

Coldfield Exploitation Company.

One of the best founded of the recent
organizations operating in our phenom-
email camp is, without doubt, the Gold
field Exploitation company which was
organized by several very wealthy San
Francisco mining men. Harrison Dib-
blee, of San Francisco, is at the head of
the enterprise and has secured large
block of high-class mining property.
The company owns fourteen very
promising claims in the eastern part of
the camp which has quickly come to the
front since the recent strike on the Tin
horn group. Amongst others the Grass
hopper group was purchased from
Messrs. Nixon, Wingiield, Riggle and
Hall, and ore showing very good values
was found on the surface. A large force
of men are now employed in sinking a
shaft to depth of IS feet, from which
point crosscuts will be run into what
seems to be one of the strongest ledges
in the district.
With Mr.. Dibblee are associated in
this strong company some very we'll
known California capitalists, and the
services of F. G. Garbutt, very promi-
nent mining engineer of Los Angeles,
have been secured for the purpose of ad-
vising the management. G. ii. Poirier,
a young man of large mining experience
and who has been identified with Mr..
Dibblee in mining enterprises in the Re-
public of Mexico, is in charge of the
work.
George r. Polenz, paying teller of the
Nye and Ormsby County Bank of Gold
field, recently resigned hts position and
is now on his way to Los Angeles, where
he will take charge of the southern Cal
ifornia Office of the corporation.
While it is impossible to predict sue
cess for any company with certainty,
yet good men with money and good
property is splendid combination-and
