SiIenCe-For the Present.

There is a beautiful custom which
DEGREES silence in the presence of the
dead. It matters not who the man
was. or what he did. or how he died;
when he has passed away there is an
awe that seizes us. and an instructive
reverence for the clay that was once
man.
The catastrophes in Oklahoma and
at Harrisburg are paraiyzing to the
mind. 1t may be proper at another
time TO say something regarding the
responsibility for the human loss at
Harrisburg. For the, present, SYM
pathy for the bereayed should dis
place other thoughts.

Public Opinion.

Public opinion is generally a matter
OF slow growth and quiet develop
ment, though its expression is occa-
sionally sudden, violent, and noisy:
it is more than and different from the
mere aggregate of a majority of in
diVidual judgments: it is not only
composite reproduction of the lights
and shades of pure reason in COM
munity, but it partakes of and re-
fleets the moral. racial, and economic
conditions Of a people.
Persistent over long periods of
time, public opinion is the common
law; whereas. statutes are generally
the more or less temporary express
sions OF immediate needs modifying
the main, general current, and adapt
ing IL to changed conditions. But
there is another. more restricted, and
usual meaning to this term, under
which 1t denotes a general consensus
of opinion regarding methods of adj
ministration and policy not reducfble
to rules and statutes, but affecting
the attitude of individuals, and serv-
ants OF the public, toward the execu-
ton OF common and statute laws.
In this latter sense, public opinion
is worthy OF the most careful study
OF all of us. The man does not live
who can afford to neglect it, for if it
be a righteous and rightful move
ment OF thought and feeling it will
ride over him if he ignores it; it will
batter him to a shapeless jelly If he
opposes it; on the other hand. if the
movement be vicious in merals or
illogical in It's thought structure, it
is ones duty to expose its inherent
weakness and oppose its tendencies.
The public man must meet the tide
OF public opinion; and here, as else
where. the reward of bravery, even
mistaken bravery. is great-but the
ultimate result is inevitable: Right
fuI, righteous public opinion always
will prevail.
Here IS where the distinction arises
between the statesman and the poll
tician5 this is the line of cleavage be-
tween the two: the statesman origi-
mates, guides, and directs public opin-
ion along the lines Of inherent JUS
tiee and practical common sense to-
ward the goal of race and national adj
vancement, regardless OF personal
prejudice, and individual affiliations:
whereas, the mere politician always
has his ear to the ground, is swayed
and tossed by considerations of per-
sonal gain and loss, and sooner or
later is drowned by the rising of the
tide which he has mistaken fos a mere
surface wave.
The expression of public opinion
is safety-vaive to the public con-
science. and a wise engineer will heed
It's warning signal; he will allow for
reducing the pressure, will temper the
fires that urge its rise, and examine
the machine to see that all is sound,
The very worst thing to be done is
to attempt 10 choke the safety-yalve;
that may dispense with the annoy
ance Of the escaping steam, but the
outcome is sure to be disastrous.

HEPBURN AND SANTO DOMINGO
First to Propose Its Annexation to
the United States

The following was telegraphed
from Washinton a few days ago:
Noting what has happened in
Santo Domingo of late, it occurs to
me that the people of this country
may have forgotten that the junior
senator from Idaho, Hon. w. B
Hepburn, in December, 1903, in
trQduced a joint resolution provid-
ing for the annexation of that coun-
try to the United States" said M.
J. Dexter of San Francisco, at the
New Willard.
"If mistake not, a good many
of the newspapers were inclined to
chaff the Idaho senator for this, but
the logic of events has shown him
to be the possessor of level head,
and not only a wise but farseeing
legislator. I know a great deal
about Santo Domingo, for l spent
some years there, and I know it
will be colossal mistake, indeed,
a crime, if Mr.. Heyburn's idea is
not carried out. This island is
picket post between our Atlantic
ports and Panama, and is strateg-
ic point absolutely essential to the
United States"

THE BEGIN MING

Yesterday Theodore Roosevelt
discharged the last obligation as
sumed by him on the death of Will
liam Mckinley. Today, he starts
on a four years of administrative
duties freed from any restraints
which his pledge, made at the bier
of his predecessor, may have i'm
posed. Although Mr.. Roosevelt
has shown himself to be a man of
soundest integrity, of unfinching
courage and extraordinary ability,
the country may not yet fully judge
him, because. in the larger affairs
of national policy, he has in great
m =asure followed the lines laid
down by his predecessor. How Oh
ten he has felt Obliged. by the terms
of his solemn promise, to do this

THE BOSS

We haven't the honor of person
ally knowing Representative Gros-
venor of Ohio, neither has he the mis-
fortune of ever having heard of us.
But that makes no difference. All
we want of him is to thank him for
having the courage to say a good,
honest word for the political
boss; and say it right out in
meeting, in connection with his eu-
logy of the late Matthew Stanley
Quay of Pennsylvania.
Speaking of the great Pennsyl-

without the full approval Of his
own judgment, no one but himself
can tell, and whether good or bad
has resulted from this unbroken
fealty will never be known. But
this we do know, faith has been
kept. The pledge to carry out
William McKinley's policies was
made by All honest, loyal, capable
man whose devoted past is suffi-
clent earnest of his noble future.
Today really marks the begin
ming of Theodore Roosevelt's ad-
ministration. His commission now
comes direct from the people. Faith
in him is almost unlimited. What
soever he proposes will be sane
toned by IS millions of enlightened
people. Rarely ever was man be-
lieved in as Roosevelt is. Conf
dence in him is SO complete and
universal that one is inclined to
pause and inquire if it is not tran
scending safe and reasonable
bounds. Yet, while we pause and
question, Our own faith grows and
strengthens. Somehow it is inn
possible to conceive of Theodore
Roosevelt performing an act of un-
faithfulness. 1t is impossible to
think Of him as doing anything ex"
cept for the adva ntage, integrity
and uplifting of the American peo-
pie. None but good man could
inspire such sentiments, none but
a great man could keep them aglow.

A COMPARISON
Showing How the COeur d'Alenes are
the Greatest Ore Producers

CHe greatest VTG PRODUCERS
The enormous production of the
Ceur d'Alenes is more fully appre-
ciated when compared with the
production of other great mining
camps AS matter of fact, there
are but two mining camps in the
west and Alaska, that produce a
greater value than this district,
section not more than 10 by 20
miles in extent. They are Butte
and Cripple creek.
In the year 1904 the actual
smelter returns for ore shipped from
the Ceur d'Alenes was $I2, ,317,-
375.
The great Black Hills district, in
South Dakota, with 10000 popu1a-
ton, produced in that year, but
81, 7,169,4oo.
Park City, Utah, with the On
tario, DAILY West and other great
mines, produced but $7,548,13o,
and this was figured upon basis
of price for lead and silver which if
applied to the Ceur d Alenes would
add just a round million to its pro-
duction..
LeadvilIe, Colorado, and the dis
trict surrounding produced $11,-
7o8,8I2.
The San Juan district in Color
ado, embracing nine counties. pro-
duced $780, $50.
Nome and Alaska produced a
little short of IS, 900, 900.
The great Klondyke region,
which interested the whole world,
made & record in 1894, of $40, ,3oo,-
900.
The production of both lead and
zinc in the district which embraces
southwest Missouri and southeast
ern Kansas, and which supports
Joplin, Carthage and numerous
other good cities, was little more
than ST., 900, 900.
These are all good records, but it
will be noted that all are short of
the production of the Ceur d'A-
lenes.-Idaho Press.
