GRAFT.

ThereIis deal of talk about graft
| these summer days And with reason,
perhaps. The word is just now COM
| ing into pretty general use, but the
meaning is very old-as old as govern
ment itself. Pull and rakeoff mean
much the same. Graft is private gain
at public expense. A man takes a
solemn oath faithfully to serve the in
terests of the people, and straight
way accept pass from a great rail-
road corporation. =: That is graft
graft in asmild form, but graft never
theless. You cannot serve God and
mammon. A man on the inside has
an understanding with a man on the
outside, and aHbig city pays three
prices for Fcontracts involving hun
dreds of thousands of dollars Both
men are grafters. A man, in the EN-
plOy Of the national government at
big salary, gets.valuable information
in advance of his fellow citizens. This
the scoundrel tsells to corporations
and peddles to the daily press and
the magazines. This is graft And,
so on the principle and the crime are
the same lin every case. Whoever
makes use of public service to his per
sonat profit is a CRATER.
What it the cure for graft There
is no cure for graft Some men are
dishonest, hence some men are graf
ters There Isl no more graft today
than formerly, There certainly is no
less. Men are about as honest today
as they were a hundred years ago:
no more so. There are some pretty
good remedies for graft. Let the best
men take aninterest in politics Put
the best men in Office. Send honest
men TO the legislatures state and
national. Pass most stringent laws
against grating. 1t is high crime
in this country to steal from an indl-
Yidual. Shall it not be a double
crime to steal from every man, woman
and child in the land? Then revise
the criminal procedure municipal.
state and national Put on the
bench men who know the law and
have the character to enforce it.
Make the way short and straight from
the offense to the penalty. Forever
suppress. the powerful influence of the
able but INSCRIPTIONS lawyer, who
for mere pay, makes delays and ex-
ceptiOns and appeals, until justice
is mOckery and crime no offence.
Then let us have honesty in our pri-
vate lives. Preach the homely virtue
of honesty from the pulpit Let us
practice in our dealings one with an
other-in thought, word and deed.
We have gone stark money mad. We
cannOt.have public honesty built on
private dishonesty. Republics are
founded upon honesty and intelli-
gence, or on nothing. We are intelli-
gent-the most intelligent of all peo-
piles on earth today. Can we boast of
our honesty? The public school is a
pretty good place for the moral train
ing OF our future citizenship. There
is much merit made of it that boys
and girls are nova days being taught
how to make a living. Better teach
them how to live!

Senator Brown Serenaded by Band.

The popularity of Mr.. McCulloh
Browns candidacy and the good will
felt toward him nea- his home, was
shown by the serenade rendered him
last Friday night by the Bavard band
of our sister state of West Virginia.
Mr.. Brown had an inkling of what
was coming and hastily invited few
neighbors to his house. When the
music was over, refreshments were
served. The Bayard boys ate ice
cream to a stand still, and every one
went home having had good time.

Mr. Basye stated that Jacksonville
was feeling the impulse Of the revival
of the mining industry in that dis
trict and was now taking ON much
of its oldtime prosperity. New busi-
ness houses were being opened and
old buildings we're being moderDized
and repaired and new ones erected.
Business is good and all expect pros
porous times for next year.
OF operations at the Opp mine Mr..
Basye stated that 10 men were added
to the force Monday and more are
certain to be added as the work re.
quires and the extensive develop.
meDt Of the mine and the additional
equipment that the company is MAX ing
to the reduction plant indicates that
fully 100 men will be employed by

for the past year at the Oregon Belle
mine in cutting lumber for buildings
and timbers for the mine is to be
moved at once to the Opp mine and put
in operation cutting lumber for the ad
ditional buildings that are to be put
up and for timbers for the mine.

Of timber on their land, sufficient for

ing the Opp mine and have NOV ed it

Is quite as promising AZ its famous

Mr.. Basye stated that the famous
Blue Ledge copper district is coming
to the front again in activity, and
u vast amount of development work is
being done by the various owners of
the over 200 claims that have been
