BE YOUR OWN PROMOTER
Invest in Mines-Not in Stoeks-For tunes in Mining Possible
 Only by This Plan.

Colonel w. C. Greene, president of the Greene Consolidated, the greatest copper mine in the world, is said to have made s1s0OOOO0 from one of the rich mines 1f Mexico, and later lost millions of 1t in Wall street.
 We are in a position to offer limited number of investors q legitimate oppor- tunity to acquire a comfortable fortune in a Mexican mine without taking a chance of losing but shoe string. We want only persons who can afford to fur nsh $i0 a month for actual expenses in developing q Mexican property, out of which, if as rich as 1t certainly appears on the surface, every one joining this syndicate will get thousands in return for every S10 which they furnish. and pos sibly fortunes beyond their most avari- cious dreams.
 We can satisfy anyone sufficiently in- terested to write that we are perfectly reliable and that every dollar spent through us will be honorably accounted for and used for the purpose represented. Can you ask for better deal?
 If you have ever made a mining invest ment and lost, take this opportunity for a success beyond your former hopes In buying stocks in mines in the state of development, which Is full of uncertain ties and capable of bitter disappointments. one pays for what the future may bring. The people who have made fortunes fin mining have acted differently. few have banded together, clipped in a little money for expenses. and tired an expert miner to superintend the work.
 We are Just forming such syndicate to develop valuable prospects. Only few members, who are willing to put in little money with prospects of striking it rich. will be admitted. If you want to make money by mining (and nowhere can big money De made as easily as in min ng) address for full particulars and con- vncing bank and commercial references. GODDARD SYNDICATE.

expensive investment was built sew

Costly Smiling.

A smile passed over the whole
country the other day at the an
nouncement that the Government had
impounded a second set of books kept
surreptitiously by the packers in the
alleged Beef combine. The showing
of these books-which were locked
into trunks and guarded by a trust
company-is expected to be that the
profits of the trust have been much
larger than Mr.. Garfield was led to
believe on the occasion of his recent
investigation for the President If
this shall prove to be the case, the
national Indignation will be great. In
the meantime the country smiles.
Is it not a significant thing that the
American people are willing to smile
over what they think to be double
dealing and false pretense of the most
fragrant type? If any of these pack
ing houses have issued certificates Of
stock and these secret accounts really
punishable under the law. Yet the
'magnates'' thought to be involved
hold positions of the highest promi-
nence in business and society. The
suspicion aroused by this story as
sails the credit of great captains of
commerce who enjoy general respect
as those things go among business
men. And the country merely smilesl
This is serious matter, this story
of secret books hidden in the vaults
of a trust company. If it be proven,
it indicates in one case what many
men already believe to be general:
that honesty in American business life
insists in keeping out of Jail; that
the business methods Of great COM
mercial enterprises differ from those
Of the thief only in being surrounded
by an apparent responsibility; that
lying, stealing, and false representa-
ton mark the work-day courses OF
men who stand conspicuousiy as re-
spectacle and upright citizens.
Demagogues and agitators have
shrieked this for many years Now
may be, it is to be established by tn,
courts. The New York Times-whicf
is certainly neither an agitator nor {
demagogue, and which knows some
thing Of the methods of great cor
porations-th thinks the matter grav'
enough for this remarkable comment
If it [this reportl turns out to be true
we can imagine no filter occupants O
the penitentiary than the men who have
conspired to defraud the consumer ant
deceive the Government.
Il may develop that the indulgenc
which smiles at discovery like thi,
has fostered the growth of just thi,
kind of dishonesty. If that proves t.
be the case, these smiles will hav
been more than significant. The,
will have been costly beyond calcula
ton.

Why the President Fled.

When President Roosevelt placed
the mantle of his official cares upon
the broad shoulders of Secretary Taft
ard HE'D him to pastures new and all
that delightful sort of thing, there
were wiseacres here and there to
whisper furtiyely that he had met a
rebuff in an attempt to initiate peace
negotiations, or that he wished to
avoid the direct force of Senior Cas-
tro's infantile pillow fight, or that
what-not and thing-um-bob made it
desirable for Mr.. Roosevelt to cease
warming tne seat of government by
his immediate and personal presence.
It is with such silly vaporings and
misunderstanding conversations that
men delude themselves into en- opinion
of their own superior wisdom. 1t is
to discourse and hear such ncthings
that they seek the evil associations
of the restaurant or the more dreadful
seclusion OF the clubs. II is for such
nonsense they neglect the refining in
fuences OF the pink tea, the elevat-
ing influence of the society Of women,
end the Intellectually stimulating dis
cussions Of our female thinkers.
Poor deluded men, blinded by will
ful ignorance. their guesses are near
ly as bad as their hearts. The truth
has come out at last, the time limit
has expired and we are at liberty TO
state that Mr. Roosevelt fed from
Washington because he had been
served with notice that the National
Council of Women was about TO con-
vene and that he would be called to
the bar of that august tribunal &c
plead TO an Indictment charging him
with malicious meddling with female
prerogatives by discussing race sui
eide.
We have not seen copy of the in
dictment, but that it is formidable
who can doubt? Nor do we know
what possible line of defense the
President could have adopted, but Wf
can dimly understand the danger Of
his predicament and heartily applaud
his wisdom in beating so hasty ant
so mastery retreat Wise soldier!
will not give or accept battle unles!
they think the chances Of success arr
at least evenly in their favor. Mr
Roosevelt knew he was up against il
and he ran.
In few days more it may be safe
