SampIing Mistakes.

Rumors that ore shipments from
the LIE Roi, at Rossland, B. G., have
been overvalued to the extent of
1895, 600 are officially confirmed by
John H. Mackenzie, who served as
acting general manager during the
recent illness Of s. F. Parrish, the
manager. Mr.. Mackenzie has cabled
the London Office of the LIE Roi
"Ownig to faulty sampling and
assaying, and excessive valuation of

No profits have been made for
several months. Shipped from the

average value Of the mine is ss.l7

rom the 1850 level showed s7.45 per

time to thoroughly investigate.
After further Investigations and
seenig s. +. Parrish, who Is expected
to arrive here toward the end of this
week, l shall be better able to advise.
Mr.. Mackenzie's cable Is alarming.
1t repudiates the cheerful reports
made by Manager Parrish for the last
few months. In which Mr.. Parrish
said the profits were from $40. 900 to
100000 month. Instead Of being

strength of the profits reported. 1t
went up to So pounds sterling on
March 25, but on distressing rumors
1t slumped to 7.8 two weeks ago.
1t is difficult to see how Manager
Parrish could have overvalued his
profits In the way that Mr.. Macken-
zie has charged. The LIE Roi mine Ia
equipped with al elaborate automatic
sampling device, which ought to give
a fair and accurate sample, II hon
estly managed by the samplers and
assayers. The B. G. Review of Lon
don editorially says:
"There has evidently been gross
and culpable negligence on the part
of the assayinR staff, for which the
general management must be held
responsible, but there Is a general
feeling in the city that loss of so
great a magnitude could not have
occurred had the craftsmanship been
in stronger hands. The company
appears urgently to need new chair
man to succeed Sir Henry Tyler, and
a new general manager.
Serious as Is the news that ship
ments have been overvalued, 1t Ia not
more alarming than Mr.. Mackenzie's
claim that the average value OF the
mine is only s8.l7 ton. He adds
that 400 tons from the deepest level,
from which so much was expected,
gave only s7.45 ton. The mine
can not hope to handle ore of less
value than $40 or sl2 ton. 1t has

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.

Legislation by the present congress
at this closing session with reference
to railroad-rate regulation is not
probable. Less than two months Of ac-
tual working life remains Of the pres
ent congress-, and the proper remedy
for railroad abuses is not yet formu-
lated with sufficient definiteness to ex-
pect enactment of new laws in the
closing days of this congress.
1t is not to be inferred. however.
from this state of facts, that progress
is not being made in the direction of
governmental regulation. Apparently
they are not talking or thinking of
much else in Washington these days.
The president has made rate regula-
ton the important current issue.
There is something doing. He has
not committed himself to any par
ticular plan or measure. Even the
suggestions of Secretary Morton are
| not understood to be the president
plan necessarily, but a tentative
scheme thrown out for the considera-
| ton of congress and the public and
| the railroad managers, and as an aid
to a satisfactory solution or agreement
| toward which the president is press
! ing as rapidly as circumstances will
| permit.
That so much progress has been
made is due mainly to the earnestness
and zeal of the man in the White
House. He means business, and he
has even secured a concession on the
part of obstructionists in the senate
to the effect that something must be
done, and an exhibition of willingness
/ however reluctant it may be, to let the
matter have consideration before the
upper house
| 1t is extremely gratifying to the
which the president overcomes the re-
sistance and sweeps away the opposi-
ton Of that little coterie in the house
and senate who have been masters of
| the situation for many years hereto

matters of importance.

NOTED EDUCATORS, VIEWS.
President Jordan, Of Stanford Talks
Of Russ Japanese War.

Oregon students are among the
best at Stanford university" said Da-
vid Starr Jordan. president of that
institution, while spending a short
time in Spokane attending the meet
ing of the State Teachers Associa-
ton of Washington. 1.-The attendance
this year is excellent he continued,
I'VE have 1900 enrolled in the univer-
sity."
DR.. Jordan's interest in world af-
fairs led to the present Russian war,
and he states that he has the word of
an eminent Russian official that the
car has not been sane since he was
struck on the head at a riot many
years ago at Otsu, when he was still
czarevitch. He considers Japan al
ready winner and believes that the
present war will let light into Russia.
Russia stands no chance against
Japan in the present war, and will ul
timately be driven out of Manchuria.
Governed as she is by so much Off
cial rottenness, Russia cannot hope to
win against a nation like Japan,
whose every citizen is permeated with
an intense national spirit. The result
of the war will be humiliation for
Russia and the betterment of condi-
tions in that benighted empire.
Il was familiar with the state Of
Japan when the present war started,
and she was in a splendid condition
of preparedness. Every man and boy
in the empire is willing and anxious
to die for his country if necessary,
and with such spirit the Japs can
not lose. She has an admirable SOL
diery and is now providing abundant
resources for continuing the war.
mo nation in the world is SO well
organized, and in the Japanese empire
we find the advantages of feudalism
joined to those of civilization. When
you array such a people against a
power like Russia, where there is
practically no national spirit, and
where internal conditions are SO un-
speakably rotten with irresponsible
grafters occupying the highest posi-
tions, with an insane ruler at the
head of things, and the overpOwering
burden of carrying on a great war
thousands of miles away from home
is added, there can be but one result

A DANGEROUS UsURPATION.

For the supreme court of a state to
assume authority to supervise cleo
lions and to constitute itself return
ing board is something new in the
history of this republic. 1t remained
for the supreme court of Colorado to
blaze the way for this new departure
from old ideas of the proper functions
of the three departments Of the ma
tional and the state governments, exc
cutive, legislative and judicial.
Shortly before the November cleo
ton the two republican judges con-
shutting a majority of Colorado's SUI
preme court appointed as watchers for
the 204 precincts of Denver heelers
selected by the republican machine.
Not a single democratic watcher was
appointed. These watchers in several
instances purposely provoked riots at
the polls in order to vitiate the re-
turns In other instances they took
charge of the ballot boxes after the
polls closed and tempered with the
ballots sa as to make it appear that
democratic election officers had been
guilty OF gross frauds. The supreme
court has sent over 80 democrats to
Jail for alleged frauds that were in
fact committed by the crooks appoint
ed for the purpose by the court.
BY throwing out all the democratic
wards Of Denver Alva Adams 1000
plurality over Governor Peabody will
be overcome and the latter will be
given second term. To complete
this work the republican state return
ing board has given certificates of
election to several republican candi-
dates for the state senate who were
defeated on the face of the returns.
This will give the republicans control
of both branches of the legislature and
this body will review the contested
elected.
T The head and front of this damnable
conspiracy is the Colorado supreme
court, or rather the two republican
members of that court, which has only
three members. 1t is another example
of the evils of government by injunc-
ton, and it should arouse the Ameri-
can people irrespective Of party lines
to take decisive steps to put an end
to such abuses and outrages In the
future.

CORPORATION REGULATION.

Mr.. Garfield, federal commissioner
Of corporations, does not report in
favor Of any hitherto unprepared
method of dealing with corporations
engaged in interstate commerce, but
he does unqualifiedly recommend that
method which has most strongly ap-
pealed to all who have looked into
the question. The requirement OF
federal permission for state corpora
ton to engage in interstate business
is the easiest and most effective man
ner of bringing under firm federal
control those phases Of corporation
management which now succeed in
escaping all control because they are
beyond the powers Of the individual
states.
tanning that the federal government
has the power to create corporations,
and congress should make provision
for such corporations. But as all
our corporations, except the national
banks, are now organized under state
laws, it would raise a host of diff
cult problems and lead to endless
confusion if they were to be required
to reorganize under federal laws. The
requirement of a federal license OF
state corporation before it can do an
interstate business will necessitate
the elimination of Objectionable feat
ures Of it's organization and bring it
directly under the supervision of the
federal government. Under such an
arrangement no state-as New Jersey
is today-could be the paradise OF cor
porations except such as should con-
fine their operations to the territory OF
the state. AS there is scarcely BUSH
ness corporation anywhere that does
strictly, interstate business, the
adoption of a federal license law
would bring practically all of the
corporations Of the United States un-
der federal supervision to the extent
that is necessary to keep them from
escaping punishment for wrongdoing
by playing off the states against each
other.
BY the way, William j. Bryan was
the first to suggest federal licenses
for corporations doing an interstate
business and it now seems likely that
his suggestion will be adopted by the
Roosevelt administration.
The discussion of the whole ques-
ton of corporation regulation seems
to be coming to head. For years we
have sat around and talked about ma
tional regulation Of railway rates as
something desirable but essentially
utopian, and now all at once we are
right in the midst Of the problem of
working out some method of regula-
ton. The nation proposes to be the
master of its corporations.

HIGHER WAGES FOR TEACHERS

The State Teachers Association al
Spokane yesterday decided to begin a
systematic campaign for higher
wages. In this effort they will have
the sympathy of everybody who
knows anything about the work and
the worries of the average teacher
! With poor pay and uncertain tenure
Of position. The rural teacher es-
pecially is underpaid and it is seldom
that he is able to give general salts
faction" to the patrons for more than
one school year. The average length
of the term in the rural districts is
about six months and on the wages
earned in that time the teacher must
exc out an existence unless he can
get work in the harvest fields, as a
book agent or in domestic service.
The pay may be large enough for the
girl with well-to-do parents who Is
teaching merely to get little pin
money or to provide for extra pleas
ures, but it is wholly inadequate to
meet the needs of the man or the
woman that is seeking to build per-
manent home or to establish a COM
petence against the period of old age.
Because of the low wages paid and
the insecure tenure of position, teach
ers generally look upon their work
either as a makeshift or as a stepping
stone to something better. In. order
to make teaching a permanent pro-
fession worthy of the name the aver
age wages should be doubled and pro-
vision should be made for insuring
competent teachers permanent posi-
: tions. Under present conditions
teachers are under the necessity OF
spending large part of their meager
wages in seeking positions.
1t is not quite SO bad in the cities
as in the country districts. A city
superintendent is usually given the
authority to assign teachers, and he
can so shift them about as to gel
the best results, give the best salts
faction to patrons and at the same
time insure the teacher a position
The schools of the county should be
subject to similar supervision. The
superintendent or some central board
should have the power to assign
teachers to the several districts, thus
insuring the competent teacher a po-
sition somewhere in the county. By
wedding out the incompetents the
number of teachers would not exceed
the demand.
The state association passed a res.
olution in favor of an act Of the leg
islature to fix minimum salary t.
be paid teachers, this minimum to b,
$50 a month for holders of first grad,
certificates, $55 for second grade AM
$50 for third grade certificates.
may be a question whether the legis.
lature has any better constitutional
right to fix the wages of school teach
ers than it would have to fix tn,
wages of preachers, printers, brick
layers and other wage learners, blu
it will be generally agreed that tn,
minimum scale named by the asso
citation is low enough.
The time will come when the rura

schools will have as long a term of
school as the city schools and then we
NAV expect teachers to be employed
by the year at respectable wages. Not
until that time comes will teaching
be placed on a permanent professional
