THE CRAZE FOR MONEY.

AT the bottom of all tie too preva
lent corruption, commercial and politi-
cal. is the prevailing idea that sue
cess consists in the gaining of money.
Joseph r. Burton of Kansas. the first
United States senator to be convicted
of crime while in Office, testified that
he used his official influence in con-
sideration of salary of $500 a month
from the Rialto Grain and Securities
companies of ST. Louis, because he
needed the money. Those convicted
OF fraud in the postoffice department
at Washington perpetrated the fraucs
in order 10 make money. Almost er-
cry act of corruption in office is done
to get money; and the money that is
paid to induce official corruption is
paid to obtain wrongful opportunities
10 make more money. All the dishon-
est bargains between business men
and corporations are merely attempts
to make money. People who have 70
need of more money keep on trying to
make money, because that is their
only ideal of success. Those who have
more money than they can count or
use in any way. try to add to it be-
cause they are lured on by the idea
which has been burned into their
minds that making money is success
and nothing else is success. Corrup-
lion thrives on this false ideal, and
will cease only when this false idol is
thrown down from the high pedestal
On which it-stands. before the minds of
the American people.-Boston Watch

The time comes to pass the necessary

This will include a number of large

secretary of war for the purchase of

A cavern on the Summit bench, on
the divide between Dexter and Anvil

O'Clock this afternoon. entombed three
miners.
The names of but two are known.
These are Jack Egan and man named
Dodd. Five other men who were work
ing ia the tunnel, escaped, but Nick
Butler, one of the owners of the Sum
nit, was quite badly injured by falling
rocks and dirt. His injuries are not
thought to be serious. The shaft and
tunnel in which the men were working
is 100 feet. A telephone message from
Dexter creek to THE NUGGET states
that it is feared that there is little hope
that the three entombed miners will
be found alive.
The work of attempting to rescue
the imprisoned men has already begun
and willing hands are endeavoring to
