FOR FELLOW CANDIDATES.

Phil Walsh, candidate for the Assem-
bly,, won his hearers by short address
full of wit, replete with arguments
tending TO prove the worth of his fell
low candidates and reasons why they
all should be elected to office. When
he had concluded, Chairman Britton
said:
Now, YOU know why Little Phil
is so strong in the hearts of the peo-
pie, so beloved and esteemed"
J. ]. Burke, candidate for the As
sembly, made his debut as a political
speaker and favorablY impressed. the
audience. Altogether, party leaders
were disposed to congratulate them
selves and the party upon the spirit
shown at the meeting, the large at
tendance and the promise Of success at
the coming election.

OF course there viii at once arise fear that such
"a combination as this engineered by Rockefeller may
so control the output of the precious metals to
pinch the nations that use them as currency. But
with the mines of Siberia and South Africa in opera
ton and constant discoveries in Alaska it is difficult
to see how this could be done. If attempted, it
might have the same disastrous effect on the COM
bine that the independent output of copper forced
upon the Socete des Meteaux the first copper trust
in which Mr.. Haggn had some quite disagreeable
experiences.
1t is probable, too, that such policy would run
up against the law. If railroad merger is in re-
straint of trade how much more is it in restraint of
trade to attempt to limit the output of the money
metals which are the very blood in the arteries of
commerce?
AS the resources of the law have thus far proved
adequate to control for the public interest all other
forms of combinations, and as none has been found
willing, even if able, to long defy both natural and
statute law, the people can afford to wait with
patience until Mr. Rockefeler's plans and purposes
are more fully disclosed and if they run counter to
the public welfare the people and the law viii know
where to strike him.

ROCKEFELLER'S IS LATEST.

The latest report about John D. Rockefeller
charges him with design to merge the mines of
America and perhaps of the world in one combina-
ton, headquarters under his hat These mining
combinations have heretofore been managed by the
RothSchlds who are supposed to control the world s
production Of quicksilver and copper. If an Ameri-
can has risen who can see the ROthschild hand and
go better it is matter of interest to nanciers.
AS matter of fact great mining combinations are
not new in this country, says the Call. The Haggin
and Hearst interests were equal in holdings to the
Standard Oil before it invaded Europe. Senator
Clark has genius for such combinations, and his
INTERESTS from Montana to Mexico 1t is not plain
that he and Heinze and Senator Kearns and the Hag-
gin interests will gain by going into the larger Rookie
feIer combination, as it is reported they intend
doing
The silver mines Of this country and Mexico are
already practically controlled by the Guggenheims,
who are believed to have been responsible for the
advance in the price of silver which began last year.
A mining combination differs from one made in
manufactures. The history Of gold discoveries in
Colorado and Utah and in Alaska proves that no one
can estimate the future Of that leader of the precious
metals As gold in the ground is potential money Of
practically Interchangeable value the next prospector
may make find that will be entirely independent of
Rockefeller and Rothschild combined.
1t perhaps easy to control an independent man

Bne or 60 out of business but this is impossible in
mining When Mexican peon can find a mine, as
Pedro Alyarado did, and in year acquire such
wealth that he afford to offer to pay the national
debt Of Mexico, the difference between mining and
manufacturers in the power of combination over
them Is made apparent. The recent revelations in
copper in Alaska prove that even that metal cannot
long remain in the control Of any combination.
Again, it is hardly possible to apply to mining

SEASIDE WATERWoRKs.
Resort Will Soon Have System In
Running Order.


Hon. C. ]. Curtis was up yesterday
from Seaside. He reports that the
new waterworks system will shortly
be completed, and that the most for
mldable obstacle in the way OF the
advancement of the summer resort will
be removed. The supply is to come
from several streams known as Crates
creeks, the water of which will be
thrown into the reservoir. The dam
will be finished today, and thus far
piping has been laid as far as the
county road. If the pipe Is received
promptly the system will be instituted
by next Saturday, and the laying Of
pipe into the Grove will then be un-
dertaken. The system is to cost about
$4,000 and will be sufficient to supply
10000 people. Seaside is booming, Mr.
Curtis says, and many new structures
are being erected. The new town hall,
which will cost 1920, will be COM
pleted by tonight. Scaside's population
is now about 1000

MALE AND FEMALE TEACHERS.

No less an authority than President G. Stanley
Hall of Clark university has taken up the complaint
% which certain members of the Mosely educational
commission first gave prominence and has been tell
ma ANS abroad in the land and that our boys are
being "feminized" in consequence. He went so far
as to say that the predomnance of feminine influence
IN the public schools means ultimate 'raeial degen-
eraey.''
The published abstracts of President Hall 5 ad-
dress while making his conclusion clear, leaves some
thing to be desired as to the processes by which he
arrived at them 1t seems to be his idea that while
boys In their tender years may well be left under the
care of female teachers they should be ntrusted to
men upon reaching the age when masculine traits
and instincts have begun to manifest themselves
that, in order to develop into manly man. the boy
should be allowed to be rather more of boy than he
u under the present system, while only grlish girl
can become womanly woman; that all through the
formative period boys and girls should be kept apart
since eoedueation tends to less sharp differentiation
between the sexes than is desirable if each is to pre-
seEse 1nIdct us Distinguishing mental anu moral cnar

Even granting that the present trend is toward
Termination" it is far cry from that to radical
degeneracy," says the Syracuse Telegram. There is
solid ground for the claim that more men teachers
@re needed for it is admitted that at certain periods

influence of strong thoroughly masculine person
atty. The passing of the oldfashioned schoomaster
due largely to economic causes is for many reasons
to be regretted.

of energy His mother bore him in pain, and he has
come to nothing During the years of his infancy
what infinite patience was exercised in his nurture
and training, what fountain of love welled about
his cradle what planning was done for his future,
what care and toll were devoted to him in the school
room! As he grew up, what agonies Of anxiety his
mother and his father felt as they watched his char
acter develop, like rose petal by petal never know
ing at what moment some canker might appear and
rot the boy at the heart How the father toied how
the mother saved, that the boy might be equipped
fully for doing mans work in the world and doing

Dead at 80! AL this pain, this anxiety, this
patience, this forethought, this toll this saving this

cunning must be laid away before it has done any
work.
press dispatch telling of battle in which 1000
men were killed does not make us shudder because
we do not pause long enough to think what the fact
implies. We do not invest the 1000 slain with per-
sonalites. We look on them as mere units of fight
ing strength But each man killed, we should bear in
mind, represents precious quantity of energy. On
each man certain amount of care and toll has been
spent in the hope that he would pay it all back by
leading long and useful life in the world Fifteen
minutes of hot work in charging battery, however,
stills all the energy represented by these 1000 men,
The pains spent upon them from infancy went for
nothing but to make food for powder It is rather
an mpersonal way Of setting forth the horrors Of war
by showing the destructive waste Of energy caused by
battle, but, after all, it is graphic way.-Bulletin

DR.. Joseph Edward Frasch, of
Logan, and Miss Sarah Emily
Fitch of Detroit, were married on
Tuesday last at the residence of
the BRIDES aunt, Mrs. G. D. Chal-
FAINT, at Thornville. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev.

were many guests to witness the
happy event; and they included
relatives and friends from Logan,
Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburg and
Marquette, Mich.
The bride looked beautiful in
a wedding gown of white batiste.
The services were held at high
noon. The presents were hand
some and numerous. Mr.. and
Mrs. Frasch took brief trip and
returned to Logan where they will
be at home to their friends after
June tenth.
Mrs. Frasch is charming
woman, and will be warmly well
coined by the people of Logan.
