In a couple of days Sandy Fergu-
son will have his freedom and his
record of having conditioned him
self for a battle while in Jail will
pass into history.
Ferguson was arrested some time
ago and when placed in Jail ex-
planned to the keeper that he was
scheduled to fight on June 10 and
wanted to know if he could do a
little training.
Sandy was given the permission
and daily he went through the
stunts Of the training camp. So
beneficial were his workouts and
the opportunity for development of
muscle without the excitement that
usually accompanies such seiges
that Ferguson is about ready to say
to the world that the way a fighter
can best train Is to get arrested and
spend month in Jail.
| heard an argument the other
day on the comparative fighting
powers of Tommp Ryan and Joe
Cans. A prominent sporting au-
thority claimed that Cans was the
superior to Ryan in cleverness and
generalship. This Is mistake.
Put it right down now that there
Is. or rather was, no comparison be-
tween the two men in these two re-
spects at least. Ryan is and al
ways was the master of the Balti-

alship, and when 1t came to the

TO THE MINING INVESTOR.

Lloyd Kenyon Jones in Denver Mining
Record: An investment is all right I'M
til the investor begins to figure probable
profits. Then the imagination gets in
its work, and if anything is given to
working overtime, it is imagination.
81 have" the investor recites, ''some
10, 900 shares of stock, and if that draws

come, and l can reinvest that money in
more stocks, until have 100, 900 shares
earning 81, 900, 900 year and several
hundred thousand shares more that will
be increasing in value up to a point
where they, too, will earn dividends. -
Then, when the investor gets to
where he owns some railroad stock, a
country estate and about 5000, 900 worth
of bonds, he is Supremacy happy until
he needs some ready cash.
Many of the disappointments in life
come through over-anticipation. 1t is
the story of the woman with the basket
of eggs on her head; the same old story,
worked out every day and every hour.
The chickens never get Matched, and the
eggs are broken. What the investor
wants, more than anything else, is
really in his own camp. He needs some
schooling in the art of accepting things
as they exist. That is true happiness,
for the mirage, beautiful though it may
be, is always unreal, and soon or late
the truth will come, and the trust is al
ways commonplace as compared with
the conjured images Of the mind.

The Mining News this week received
from the Northwest Press Association
at Washington, D. c., a letter of thanks
for the space given it's communications
during the session of the congress just
closed, also expressing the desire to
furnish this paper with the Washington
news when congress convenes next De-
cember, 1t is so seldom a country
editor runs across a correspondent so
obliging that the Mining News would
feel inclined to express gratitude were
it not for the fact that the news bur-
eaus in Washington deal more in praise
of members Of congress than in the real
things that people want to know. Such
certificates of character as are sent out
to the country press should be charged
by the country editor at regular adver-
Using rates.

The ad occupies half a page of the

man of means who is looking for
a chance to make an investment
in mining property that promises
good returns. In letter to the

Rathbun says he solicited some

pass is good thing, but the granting
of it to certain officials should be obliga-

method one riding on pass would not
be under obligation to the company that

quire in the franchise of a street rail

Legislators requiree free telephones in

him. that Miss Mitchell and Mrs. Cret-
field felt possessed of divine inJunc-
ton to go forth and kill.
1t is not necessary to go back into
those things to realize that the appall-
ing disregard of human life in this
country is the effect of failure to ap-
DIV the law as it is found in the code.
1t is our national weakness, sin and dis
honor. In most instances clemency for
forbearance in enforcing the law against
murderers whose hands are CORY with
the fresh blood of innocent persons, as
well ais in lesser but more degrading
crimes is not kindness to them. But
there are others many others; and they
have right to demand and to procure
the protection of the law, whether 1t
pleases the violator of the law or not.
They have a right to demand it, because
no man knows what day may bring
forth to himself and his household.
They have right to expect to be sur
rounded by conditions of security, order
and decency that proceed from due
obedience to the laws and rules of civil
ization rather than the sort of condi-
lions that flow from lawlessn ess, inse-
curity and vice rampant.
1t is not going too far to set it down
as fact, amply proven by the record,
that the failure to enforce the provis
ions and covenants of organized society
has led to three-fourths of the tragedies
that stain the name of the nation and il
directly responsible for that much of thu
ensuing misery and crime. And as Ions
as this terribly mistaken policy prevail
the same harvest of sorrow and tears i
going to be gathered through all tn
long and weary years.

FAILURE TO ENFORCE THE LAW

Lewiston Tribune: The recent series
of shocking murders, all so strikingly
similar and all due to emotional causes,
began, like other tragedies that have
redeemed the soil and discredited the
name of this otherwise enlightened and
humane country, in failure to enforce
the laws. All were similarly cold
blooded and deliberate, the four victims
having no chance for their lives or sal
walton, no opportunity to plead extenu-
ating circumstances or insanity or other
resorts left open to the murderers.
Their doom has been pitiless and ire
vokable. We shall see hereafter the
quality of justice the law administers
upon their slayers. 1t may or may not
be true that White prosecuted the wife
of Thaw, that Creffield dishonored the
family of Mitchell and that Mitchell had
due evidence thereof, that young Thomp-
son had just grievance against Judge
Emory for alternating his niece from

OSCAR MAXWELL'S CANDIDACY.
In another place in this issue of the
Mining News appears the announcement
of Oscar Maxwell of this district as
candidate for the office of sheriff of this
county, subject to the will of the demo-
cratic convention.
The News is informed Mr.. Maxwell
has been hard pressed for some time by
his friends in different parts of the
county for him to permit his name being
used in connection with the nominations
that are to be made by the county con-
vention. Mr.. Maxwell received so
many assurances of support from good
workers in his party that he decided
this week to enter the race.
This paper is not we'll informed on the
ways of politics in Idaho county as yet,
neither does the editor have personal
acquaintance with the other men seek
ing nomination to this Office, but in the
case of Elk City's candidate it appears
the Office is seeking the man. Mr.,
Maxwell has resided in this valley fol
thirteen years and has property inter
ests. He is man of honor in any re-
lation, enjoying the esteem of a large
circle of friends, irrespective of party
utilization, and if it should be the will o.
the majority that he be the next sheriff
the county will be assured of a gooC
administration of the duties of the office
1t has been some time since this par
Of the county had candidate for
county Office. If the rest of the count,
will consider this matter when maxim,
up the slate, after making the acquaint
of Mr.. Maxwell, it is likely this candi
date viii be given place on the ticket
