Great Crack in Earth Follows
Kansas Storm

Following n severe storm
near Kiowa, Kansas, that il
has had in years, n strange
phenomena has appeared on
the south side OF Driftwood
creek, about ten miles south.
east of that place. The earth
parted for n distance Of seven
or eight miles, beginning AT
the farm Of James Meride,
entering u. Hooper's farm al
the southeast corner, passing
over the "a. F.. McGibben
place in a southerly direction,
entering and passing out OF
the f. A. Rossi ranch on the
southwestcorner, losing itself
on the j. D.. Hiatt farm. The
widest opening OF the crack
is to be found on the Hooper
place. AT that place it is 3
feet wide and as deep as the
ranchers have been able to
penetrate.
Various theories have been
ad vanced as to the probable
cause Of the parting of the
earth. Some assert they felt
ia slight earthquake shock
during the storm. If a
seismic current passed
through that section during
the storm it was so feeble
that 1t was not generally
noticed. Another theory is
that gases accumulated in the
interior Of the earth have
caused an explosion and pro-

Square Deal In Insurance.

insurance officials are naturally pro-
sesting against what they term the
drastic proposals" which have result
ed from the recent Investigation and
exposures, but the public Is chiefly In
ferested In the future price of insur-
ance and the guarantees of square
deal. 1t is not likely that the outcome
sf the investigation will lead to a re-
nuctiOn of the cost of sound Insurance
Insurance which Is not sound Is no
insurance at all.
Life insurance premiums are about
me same in all companies-those which
are above suspicion and those which
nave been paying extravagant salaries,
corrupting legislatures and robbing pol
icy holders from the inside. Premium
rates do not vary greatly the world
over, as all sound insurance Is based
upon the probabilities of longevity for
the healthy subject at given age. A
certain percentage of deaths must be
provided for out of the premiums, and
there must be heavy margin over and
above the probabilities to cover an
extraordinary death rate In case of
pestllence. Insurance which does not
do that Is mockery for the widows
and orphans of the insured.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN THE MINES

All Winter.

Joe Massie, who has undertaken to
complete the Red Mountain road from
point where the state road money
gave ont to the Chelan Consolidated
Copper Co camp, returned to town
the first of this week. He has more
than forty men and four or five teams
at WORK on the road and expects to
have il completed before snow begins

Three eight hour shifts have hern III
work Tor some lime on II tunnel which
the CAe,an Consolidated is driving into
Rcd Mountain.
Two other gangs of men are also
bus One getting timbers for the
mine and the other putting up winter
quarters for the men.
1t is the earnest desire of the mana
ger to get the road completed in time
10 take machine drills INTO the camp
before winter sets in. At present the
drilling is all done by hand. Once the
Burleigh drills are installed the boring
of the tunnel will go on at rapid rate.
Work will be continued every day dur
ing the winter.
A petition is being circulated in the
camp asking the county commissioners
to create the Red Mountain voting pre-
cinct.
The postotfice department will be
asked to extend twice-a week mail
service to the Red Mountain district
early next spring.
AT The present time not less than
seventy five men are employed in the
district. In the spring this number
will be doubled or lrebled.

The democratic county con
vention nominated a good, clean
lot of men for office and are to be
congratulated on the stand they
have taken for cleaner politics.
Even republicans having, how
ever, taken the lead boldly and
put up an exceptionally strong,
capable and clean lot of men for
the different county offices and
thus forced our democratic
friends to.adopt the same course,
will not be able to make any
political capital out of the fact
that they have done the proper
thing. There being no choice
then between republican and
democratic candidates in respect
to their fitness, and the repub-
lican voters having majority
of between $50 and 800, we will be
justified in assuming that the re-
publican ticket will be elected on
the sixth day of next November
by safe majority.

A TEN MILL TAX LEVY.

The city council at it's last
meeting provided for a ten mill
tax levy to supplement, ,Pthe rev
enues that the council will be
able to raise in other ways. This
will not increase the taxes of the
citizens of the town. Indeed,
the taxes will not be quite so
much as they were last year, as
those who reside inside the cor
porate limits will be exempt
from road, bridge and poll tax.
One dollar tax on a thousand
dollar property rendition is such
a modest sum that no one ought
to complain. Some extraordi-
nary expense will necessarily
have to be incurred in setting
the corporation on it's feet. Not
unlike man just starting out in
business, it has no credit to start
out with and must pay cash for
every thing that it requires, and
the council deemed it the part of
good judgment to provide some
money upon which to begin bus
mess.

Socialism In France.

Recent disturbances in France and
the methods of the government in re-
straining social disorder are comment
ed upon by the Continental Core.
spondence, published in Berlin, in a
tone critical of French Institutions.
The French minister is accused of Il
policy of honeyed phrases" in dealing
with striking workmen. Says the
writer:
The difference between the United
States and France in their methods of
procedure against anarchistic elements is
due to the historical development and the
constitution of the two republics. The
United States has always been a republic
ever since 1t became independent. The
party temporarily In possession of power
may perhaps fear that by mistakes its adj
herents may be estranged and the opposi-
ton given the reins of government, but 1t
need not fear that any false step will en-
danger the republican form of govern
ment. This absolute certainty of the sta
bility of the constitution renders 1t pos
sible for the leading statesmen IN domes-
tic as well as in foreign politics to act in
a most energetic manner. In France mat
ters are quite different. In that country
the government lives in continual fear
that one fine day a pretender of one of
the former ruling families of France or a
military adventurer may overthrow the
republic, a danger which, as is well
known has been repeatedly imminent
during the thirty-fve years of the exist
ence of the third French republic; hence
the Frersh ministers are afraid to deal
too severely with the socialists. because
In these sworn foes of monarchical insti-
tutions they see a line of defense against
the attacks of the monarchists. The
French state is thus always in danger
from the Scylla of a monarchical rising
on the one hand and the Charybdis of
social revolution on the other.
The last days of the reign of Napo-
leon III. We're troubled by demonstra
lions of students and workmen against
the monarchy. Napoleon suppressed
them with vigor, a policy which reacted
with terrible vengeance when the com
mune got the upper hand. 1t is a nov
ell view to take that socialism offers
"a line of defense" for the republican
government, and yet it would be
strange If the workingmen of France
were not sworn foes of monarchy.

That particular resolution
which was adopted by the dem
ocratic county convention on
Monday of this week pledging
their candidate for representa-
tive to vote for a "fellow SER
want bill will surely fall short
of it's object. Why should voter
who favors the enactment OF
such a law conclude he was pro-
noting the passage of such a bill
by voting for a democrat in
a body that is sure to be over
whelmingly republican, If such
a bill is ever passed it will be by
republican votes. There are
not now and will not be
enough democratic members in
either branch of the Legislature
to secure a committee report.

"Redcoats" Quit America For Good.

"Redcoats" Quit America For Good.
Canada will seem less British now
that the 'redcoats' have vanished from
her borders. The last imperial garri-
son has been withdrawn from the
mainland OF the North American con
tinent, and Daniel Webster's famous
apostrophe to the power of England
and the drumbeat that is heard around
the world no longer maintains For
more than century and half Canada
has been garrisoned by. British troops,
but henceforth Canadian troops are to
be employed in that duty. Verify,
Patrick Henry, George Washington,
Thomas jefferson and Benjamin
Franklin taught England wholesome
lesson that is become her settled colo
NAL policy. Canada is as self govern
ing as England herself and has the
protection of the British navy and the
British army besides.
Obviously the Dominion of Canada
will some day become part of the
American Union. England would jump
at the thing right now, for in a few
years Canada would be a dozen states
and ultimately two dozen states and
every one an enthusiastic Angloma-
Mac. Both political parties would be
bidding for senators, congressman and
electoral votes from the new states at
the far north, and the very first presi-
Dental campaign after annexation
both parties would put the British al
lance In their platform, for it is well
known that there is nothing In this
WIDE wide world political party will
not do for a majority.
