THE REGENERATION OF MINING PROMOTION

Upon the eve of the con- vening of the Amer can Min Ing Congress in Denver, this week, the Daily Mining Re co q ofthat city said:
 ''When the coming session conyenes. it is hoped some one will bring up for discussion, for thought, for guidance, one Ii tie potent truth that none can e-cspe. We grant, as we must, that mine promotion has been abused, but less than formerly We know, as we must admit, that there are many things about our laws that call for re vision, but what is law except guid- ance ib the evolution of the race? Or, better still, what is it but the earmark of the progress of civilization7 Evo- lution is not merely . physical thing It may be educational, and ss such IS more powerful than the writt n law. The regeneration of mining proposi- tions is in the hands of the people m re than it is in the law makers' hands. When the public sets ban on one kind of promotion, . l the laws in the land would not make 1t 'go And when the people decide that some reform is needed, it is W rked through the very simple process of letting alone the ohjection-b ble scheme

THE GOVERNMENT
 SHOULD LEND AID

AoiliOTIOW tuesday, OctO- Der l6) tine American Min ing Congress will meet at Dem ver when the vital question Of a Department of Mines and Mining will be taken up aud | discussed. The fate of d measure providing for this great need will be determined by the energy of a national movement in its support which must begin this week and which will be abortive unless a thorough campaign of education, such as will arouse pubic opinion, be un- dertaken and vigorously pr 's- ecuted.
 This Government is not d. ternal, says the Los Angeles Minin. Review. In some di- lectio IS, and this is one O. them, it consistently avoi Is new expense not dsmand d by the people.

 There is but little use in ap. pea ing to the President,
 Senat ITS, or to COngressmer in this matter. It is neces- sary to begin at the botto ' and work up appeal n t t' patriotism or common sens with abstract propositions, hur to the pockets of voters.

delivered by you at Convention hall,

cannot refrain from expressing to you
my gratitude for the same.
It seemed to me that the address
covered every phase of American life
truly patriotic, a plea for justice, hon

erty to which all people under the
American flag are entitled.
When such men as Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Governor Vardman, of Missis-
sippi: Governor Davis, of Arkansas.
and Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
lina. are making strenuous efforts to
convince the world of the unworthiness
Of the Negro and his inability to accept
and appreciate a higher civilization
your plea to an audience of ten thou
for justice and fair treatment to
him, came to my ear as a cooling
spring to a thirsty soul. We have
been waiting patiently for some time
for one of the great men of our coun-
try. with national influence, to rise in
the majesty of his manhood in the de-
Tense of a helpless people and simply
state the facts with reference to this
contingent of Americans, give counsel
advice and throws a new lustre
upon the star of hope held out by
President Roosevelt.
Eternity alone will make known the
good you are doing along the lines

In Archbishop John Ireland's spec,
OF February p, Kansas City, Mo, II
an audience of ten thousand, anon
other things he said:
BE JUST TO THE NEGRO.
The Negro we have and must keep.
Let it never be forgotten hat the
Negro did not come hither of his own
accord. Our W f~orefathers con-
strained him to emigrate from his
African haunts to be their servant,
their slave. Let it not be forgotten
that the long servitude to which they
had subjected him prevented him from
growing in civilization, ana aimed
rather at reducing him to the low
stages of animal life than uplifting him
to the higher regions of spiritual
thought and activity. Whatever diff
culties there are in the Negro problem,
we must say in all humility that they
are of our own making. This is suffi-
cient reason why we should bring to
the solution of the problem good will
and patience. The progress made by
the Negro since their emancipation,
forty years ago, is the happiest of
and indicates that years will
prove them to be fully worthy of our
confidence and esteem. Let us be just

and what are effected.

says the health of thousands of
Spokane people depends upon the

MURDER IN THE
FIRST DEGREE
CHARGE

Murder in the first degree will be
the charge laid against Sidney
Sloane as soon as the informa ton
Is drawn and filed. Prosecuting At
torney Barnhart is preparing the
document and is going carefully
over all decisions which may bear
on the matter of the age of the
accused and his liability in the
matter.
$50 far as I can see there must
have been absolute intent in the
mind of the land" said the prose
cutor, "olse he would not have
taken the ak to the bedroom and
stuffed the keyholes with cotton.
There has never been, so far as
the evidence now in hand is con-
cerned, case since my connection
with this office to show more clear
ly an intent to murder"
The police have succeeded in
tracing the $50 found on Sidney
Sloane when he was arrested yes
terday for the murder of his father.
This money was in bills. Sidney
confessed to taking 1T and said it
was part of $500 which his father
had been counting The police are
inclined to believe the boy secret
ed the balance of the money.
The night of the murder, Ed
ward j. Lenser, the painter, living
at S217 Wall street, paid to the
murdered man 500 in bills in ex.
change for some mining stock.
Lenser says that he and friends
bought possibly $1,000 worth of
mining stock from Sloane. The $50
found in possession of the boy was
part of the money Lenser had paid.
More and more the police are
forced to the conclusion that some
woman was behind the whole trou.

has led a very fast existence, de-

WAGE RAISED
ONE CENT

The Washington Water Power
company has granted its carmen an
increase in wages of l cent per
hour. The company was compelled
to make this concession to their
employees on account of the trouble
it has had lately in keeping its
men. There has been no difficulty
in securing men but there has been
in keeping them. The men would
work long enough to break in and
receive about one months pay and
then quit. The reason for this was
that they soon learned that they
could make more money working
on a farm than they could ON the
cars of the local monopoly and
work less hours. The men asked for
an increase of cents per hour,
but will have to be contented
with 1.
From the mems standpoint, the
compromise was secured only
through the prevailing scarcity OF
men and the coming rush during
the fair.
