Danger of Abuse.

81 know perfectly well that when
you give that power there is chance
of its being occasionally abused. There
is no power that can be given to the
representatives of the public which it
is not possible to abuse. As every one
knows, the power of taxation, which
must, of course, be given to the repre-
sentatives of the people, is the power
of death, for it is possible to kill any
industry by excessive taxation. There
must be certain trust placed in the
common sense and common honesty of
those who are to enforce the law. If
it ever falls, and think it will, to my
lot to nominate a board to carry out
such law, shall nominate men, so
far as | am able, on whose ability
courage and integrity l can count
men who will not be swayed by any
influence whatever, direct or indirect,
social, political or any other, to show
improper ia 'oritism for the railroads,
and who, on the other hand, if a rail
road is unjustly attacked, no matter if
the attack has behind 1t the feeling of
prejudice of 80 per cent of the people,
will stand up against that attack
That is my Interpretation of tho doc
trine of the square deal"

With the Presidents speeches
in the South clearly outlining his
views with reference to railway
rate legislation and Secretary
Taft's powerful statement at
Akron, Ohio, of the legal aspects
of the question there can be no
longer the least doubt as to the
stand of the Administration and
the friends of the Administra-
ton in Congress on this subject.
When Congress assemblies the
great deeps of debate will be
opened up and will rage probab-
ly fer forty days. Not often in
the history of the country has
there been question of equal
Importance before the National
legislation.

If the United States should &C
to war today there would not be
half enough officers and men &c
command and man the ships OF
our navy. BY the end of the
present year ten new ships will
have been placed in commission,
requiring officers and crews tc
the number Of seven thousand.
There would be no way of sup.
plying these ships except the
retiring of retiring others now
in use and in a good state of
efficiency. 1t is expected the
President will have some stir
ring things to say on this sub
ject in his message to Congress.
II is not the vigorous expression
of the German newspaper which
referred to our army and navy
as rotten" that brings up this
question for its Importance has
been for several years recogniz-
ed by those informed on the sub
iect. The average age of the
commanding officers of our fleets
has been found to be fifty eight.
Ii men of this age had been call
ed upon to perform the duties of
the commanders of the Japanese
navy more than half would prob
ably have succumbed to the
physical and mental strain. Only
men of youth and vigor could
have endured what these officers
did in the way of privation and
exposure and lack of rest. 1t is
mp to Congress now to provide
a means of giving the YOUNGER
officers command rank unless it
is designed to turn our shops
into homes for the aged. The
subject will give the joint com.
mittee on naval affairs something
TO study over during the next
session. Congress has it in its
power to declare that no more
ships shall be built until officers
and sailors are made but it is
known that one of the desires
nearest the Presidents heart is
TO build up the navy so it is pre-
sumed he will strongly urge Con
gress to provide more officers
and men.

Not in modern times has there
been man so popular in the
United States or in the world as
Theodore Roosevelt. Washing
ton and Lincoln are no excep-
tions, but popularity is as tickle
as maid. The crowd that
shouts but one God and one
Roosevelt today" may say "A
diable Roosevelt" tomorrow. In
his attempt to gag the Cabinet
to the discontinue of the Press
the President is not acting with
his usual candor and courtesy.
The press has been Mr.. Roose-
velt's right hand ally. His most
popular policies have been sug-
gested or defended by the press.
1t is not gracious or polite to
kick away the ladder upon which
he has climbed. There are those
who believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
is misrepresented in his recent
alleged attitude toward the press
and there will be an eclaircisse-
ment showing a more liberal and
just relation of the President to-
ward journalism on his return
from the South.

Although the Lucky Boy mil
remains statu quo it is not dead

Custer Mountain; but there is
said to be much head work
going on among the Captains OF

it, and when all arrangements
and plans are fully completed
that are now in contemplation,
the great buzz-saw of Industry
will again be humming the mer-
ry tunes that for so many years
We're as sweet music to the ears
of the Yankee Forkers.
This has been q busy season at
the Fork and will continue until
winter sets in; and even then it
is expected that the road to Loon
creek will be kept open much,
or possibly all of the time, unless
an unusually heavy snowfall
should occur.
Supplies of all kinds for the
Fork country and for Loon creek
needed for the winter and com
ing spring are, in the main, as
yet on the outside, or at least on
the road, including vegetables,

sides, that the tunnel will strike

show good ore and others were
worked to the water and were

Mr.. j. A. Czizek is the manager
of this enterprise, and thus far
his general good Judgment has
not failed. He was the promot-
err and until recently manager of
the Lost Packer" incorpora-
ton, which he developed from a
to one of the greatest
mines in the country.
Mr.. Click is progressive and
believes that if mine is worth
developing it is worth putting a
wagon road to it. Through his
counsel the Lost Packer" com |
pany built the wagon road from |
Jordan creek to Loon creek and |
to the Packer" thereby con.
Meeting the Yankee Fork coun-
try with the Loon creek country,
which has been of much benefit
TO the whole county. He also
built a good wagon road from
Jordan creek onto Mt. Estes at
considerable expense, over
which the heavy machinery and
supplies for the tunnel work
we're taken.
The Lost Packer" mating
plant is nearing completion and
will be put in operation yet this
all. There is much rich ore on
he dumps, taken out during the
curse of development, with
great quantities in sight in the
unnels and raises, to be extract
ID as required, and fine showings
II rich ores at all points where
development has been carried.
1t is understood that the Lost
oacker" ore averages in gold
bout five 90 ounces per ton, a
ew ounces silver and 20 to 30
'er cent copper. According to
his. (which is probably very
learly the average), the matte
will be worth 5000 to 800 per
on, or higher.
