In his speech to the Wisconsin leg
islature, January 26, accepting the
United States Senatorship to which
his party had just nominated him,
Governor W. T LaFOllette spoke as
follows:
ITO the Honorable, the Legislature of
Wisconsin:
Il am informed by your committee
that you have elected me to represent
Wisconsin as United States senator.
Assembled in joint session under
organic and statutory law, you are
empowered to speak for all the people
of this commonwealth. Any man, at
any time in his life, may well regard
an election to the United States senate
Is the highest honor 10 which he can
attain in the public service. That you
should have chosen me at this time,
and in. this way, and in the spirit man.

Il am sure that none of you, who
have borne with me the bitterness and
fury of campaigns for a decade of
time, would. for any consideration, en-
danger the consummatiOn and protec-
ton of That work in which we have
been engaged.
I'VE have seen it grow from the

CENSUS BUREAU REPORT
OF MINING INDUSTRIES

statistics relating to mines and quar-
ries has already been presented 70
the public in a preliminary report
published by the Bureau as a bulletin
about six months ago. This was
pamphlet OF SO pages. The report now
issued is a bound volume of l,i23
pages.
The statistics compiled in the elab-
crate tables comprise data on the
value and quantity Of the product OF
the mines, the cost OF supplies and ma
terials, the miscellaneous expenses.
the number of wage-earners and
amount OF their wages. the number Of
clerks and salariei officers, the kind
and amount Of power used. the amount
paid for contract work, etc.
The layman taking up this report
will probably be surprised at the va
riety of minerals covered by the in
quiry. Statistics are presented not
only for the coal, iron and petroleum
of indispensable everyday use. and
the gold and silver of universal de-
sire, but for minerals with unfamiliar
names and limited uses, such as
bauxite, tungsten. uranium, and van
adium. -.-..-
The report is far from being a mere
compilation of figures. In fact most
of it is descriptive and analytical text.
| II contains a discussion OF the scope
and plan of the mining inquiry. a
| historical review OF the mining INDUS
try in the United States. followed by
discussion of the statistics for the
I industry as a whole A separate Sec
ton is devoted tC the mineral Indus
tries of each state and territory, aad
! it appears from this list that Mississ-
/ ippi and the District of Columbia arc
the only political divisions Of the Unit
ed States in which the sound OF the
{ miners pick is not heard. This dis
cussion by states is followed by a
series of monographs reports pre-
+ senting the results Of the inquiry for
separate minerals. These reports
were prepared by different experts
/ most of whom are men Of established
/ reputation as authorities on the sub
/ jeCts which they discuss. This meth
! Cd of presentation makes il easy for
/ the reader to find all The data relat-
ing to any particular state Or paTJicu
lar mineral in which he may be speci
/ ally interested.
| The volume contains a large NUN
/ Der of plates illustrating mining pro
1 cesses or mining machinery, and CT
diagrams presenting graphically sta
tistics of production and prices. IL
the appendices are given the schedules
of questions used in collecting tbs
information, the intructiOns TO the
special agents employed in the work
and the Instructions for revising anf
editing the schedules.
All in all the report contains a vas
amount of valuable and well arranged
information. and is probably the mos
complete account Of the mining indus
tries of the United States that has ye

SENATE RATIFiES THE
ARBITRATION TREATIES.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
to-day in executive session ratified the
arbitration treaties between the Unit
ed States and European governments.
Ii required two sessions to reach an
agreement to consider the treaties. no
action being taken at former sessions
beyond deciding that they would be
taken up again to-day.
The first session to-day was cOnfin-
ed almost entirely to the defense, by
half a dozen senator's, of the senate's
right to amend treaties. The presi-
dent was sharply criticised because
of his letter declaring that it would
be a step backward to ratify the trea-
ties in the form proposed by the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations.
