WANT A. CABINET OFFICER.

ST., Louis Globe Democrat.-At it's
convention the other day in Denver,
in which most of the states were re-
presented, the mining congress asked
for the creation of national depart
ment of mining, with It's lead to be a
member of the cabinet. A bill embody-
ing this request will be introduced in
congress at the beginning of the session
in December. 1t will probably not
pass. In the three months to which
the session is restricted By law, there
will be very little time for legislation
outside of the passage of the regular
money bills Of the government and
other routine measures.
But the mining interests are likely
to persist in their demand for cabi-
net department until they succeed At
the outset, however, they will be ham
jered by the fact that two cabinet de-
pcrtments that of agricultural estab-
lished in 1889, and that of commerce
and labor, founded in 1903-haye been
created in recent times. The country
will be rather averse to making anoth-
err addition to that body soon. Wash
ington's cabinet had only four mem
bers, while Rooseyolt's had nine A
good deal of administrative work was
done by the executive branch Of the
government in Lincoln's days, yet
there were only ssven members in his
cabinet
On the other hand the country has
nearly three time the inhabitants and
has seven times che wealth that it had
when Lincoln was first elected. 1t has
more than twenty times the inhabi-
tants and hundred times the wealth
that it had when Washington stepped
into Office These considerations will
count for something in aid &. the min
ing interests demand. Mining is one
of the country's great activities. The
aggregate production OF minerals of all
sorts in the country for the calendar
year 1906 will be fully S1,600,000,0 900,
as compared with S2lS, 100000 for 1870,
the first year in which this item enter
ed into the statistics. The mineral
productions of the country is seven
times as great today IS it was third
OF century ago. In this field the
United States is so fer ahead of any Of
the other countries that no comparison
can be made between us and any of
them. All these things will be urged
in congress by he yocates of the
creation of naticna4 department of
mining, and they will impress the
country.

WAPELLo COUNTY, TlckEr

For two reasons the republicans of
Wapcllo county should take an inter
est in the election of the candidates
nominated by their county convention.
One is for public welfare and the other
is for party prosperity.
Public welfare demands an efficient
corps of county officers, and these
have been named by the republicans.
The republican ticket has been en-
,dorsed at the polls for quite a number
of years, and the people have been
well served by these men whom they
have chosen. 1t is now that several Of
them come before their constituents
asking for an endorsement of their
records, which, indeed, are deserving
of liberal endorsement The fact
that they have been tried and have
proven efficient is one point in their
favor. In voting for them the citizen
casts his ballot for quantity that is
certain. In casting about for some one
to take their places the unknown guam
tity will have to be selected.
AS for party reasons, they may be
well known, but should be empha-
sized. 1t is the party organization
that has enabled the republicans to
give the puDllC SuCn an eACelleuI HSt
Of candidates for whom they may have
the privilege of voting. 1t is easy to
disorganize, but it takes the wiser
heads to organize, and it is not easy
for them to do.
Records in counties where the peo-
pie have been in the habit of filling the
county offices with efficient republi-
cans, show that when the knife Is
once drawnit is long before the breach
heals, and in some cases 1t serves to
strengthen the ranks of the oppo-
nents merely through Reorganization
in the republican party.
Sometimes the defeat of one candi-
date serves as the entering wedge
whereby others are allowed to follow
simply because the knife was drawn
and for no other reason. To preserve
the party organization of the county,
which. is the unit of the state and ma
tional organization, should, especially
at this time, be a paramount thing in
this campaign Unity on the part OF
the republicans is important, and
should be so realized by every man
who wishes to be identified with the
party. &

FOR RAILROAD CONTROL.

About the time the railroad rate
Dill was under consideration one
would have thought that the life's
blood was about to be crushed out
of the railroad business and the form
er magnates would be made paupers.
Since Its passage, however, there has
been no idleness among the railroad
owners, and the grasp for the owner
ship and control of more miles Of
track has only not subsidized, but
seems to be on the increase Hartman
has been making deal to give him
line from coast to coast and has been
IN a light for the control of the Illinois
. Central. Hill, it is reported, has about
completed arrangements for the pur-
chase of the Burlington by the Great
Northern, and he proposes to extend
the line to the Gulf
The fact of the matter is that the
rate bill has not hurt the legitimate
business of the railways, and they
Will continue to prosper and to grow
great. 1t was just enactment and
! the railway men are not at all afraid
of 1t. There may not be SO much
building of new lines in the future,
but the betterment of those already
IN existence will continue The past
OF the railroad has been great, but
the future will be greater.
The first twenty-five years of rail
'ad building was accompanied by
any hazards and much loss. There
we're no "gentlemen's agreements" in
hose days, and when one set of men
pund a good thing there was sure
be another line run to the point of
Vantage. The result was loss to
tn. and appointments of receivers
lowed. When the affairs were set
d the reconstruction period came
1, and since then has been the mar.
elous growth under more experienced
sads and more business-like manage
tent. Since then has come the period
consolidation, economy and great
xtension
From this time on there will be a
'etterment Of facilities, improvement
service, and greater profits to those
stems which have been making per
aenant Improvements in the last de-
ade. More double tracks, more con.
etc bridges and more lasting rolling
took will undoubtedly be the progress
chat will be noted IN the next ten
years. Meanwhile there will be more
consolidation where it is possible with
ut breaking law, and the magnates
VII not stop in their frenzy to gain
more stock, simply because rate law
has been passed

A m.xa.1ne for the Blind.

Through the charitable impulses Of
Mrs. William Ziegler, widow Of the iaee
head of the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany, the first periodical for the blind
is about to be launched at New York
for free distribution to 10000 blind per-
sons in the: United States. 1t will con-
tain news Of the day and literary matter
besides letters from the inmates of blind
institutions, telling of their work and in
terests. The magazine will be printed in
both systems of raised letters, namely,
Braille and the New York point. Both
are composed Of characters based upon
the combination Of raised dots, 80 that the
blind can detect the letters and words by
the finger tips moving over the embossed
surface. The new magazine is to con-
tain 100 pages, which are of necessity
printed only on one side, and as the paper
has to be heavy, each number will be q
are carried through the mail without
postage, and making all allowance for
this, the cost of the periodical is estf
mated at 100000 per year. The bureau
of education has been asked to furnish a
list Of the names and addresses of the
blind persons capable Of reading the point
system. The inspiration Of this charity
was Mrs. Ziegler's blind son, now 10
years old. who lost sight soon after birth.
Walter S. Holmes Is to be editor and
manager. The Offices are 1881 Broadway,
and it is desired that persons knowing
blind people shall forward their names
and addresses, to be put upon the free
subscription list. A key to the point
yystem will be sent free upon request.
