RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRATS.
Higgins Named to Head the State
Ticket

The democrrtic state convention for the
nomination Of candidates for the various
elective state offices at Providence, r. l.,
named the following ticket:
Governor. James H. Higgins; lieutenant
governor, Charles M. Sisson. Providence;
secretary Of state. William Palmer East
Providence; attorney general, Edward M.
Sullivan. Cranston: state treasurer, John
H. Archambault. Warwick.
James H. Higgins, mayor of Pawtucket,
nominated for governor by reclamation. de-
clared that in Rhode Island 1.-THE money and
rights of the people have been barsained
away for individual profit. and the good
name Of the state dragged in the mire.''
Mr.. Higgins was born in saylesvilie. R, L.
in November, 1875 He is a self-made man.
His father and mother died when he was
an infant. After graduating from the Paw
tucket High School he worked in store in
that town and earned money with which he
paid his way through Brown University. He
got his A. B. in 1893. He then entered the
law school at Georgetown University,
Washington, and by aid of a minor govern
ment position completed his course, grad
uating in 1900
Mr.. Higgins then returned to Pawtucket,
where he was elected to the general as
sembly in 1901. In the spring Of 1902 he
was elected mayor Of Pawtucket. Election
to. this office is held annually. and Mayor
Higgins is now serving his fourth term
Despite the fact that the city council
elected by those whom the board Of tax as
SCISSORS choose to place on the personal
property voting list Is overwhelmingly re-
publican, Higgins has never failed to OBJ
tain big majority of the popular VOTE His
popularity is based largely on his PERSONAL
Hy and private character. He does not
drink or smoke. He has exposed corrup-
ton in Pawtucket and conducted some no.
table fights in the interests of good govern
ment.
The nomination Of Higgins will be follow
ed by his Endorsement for governor by the
Lincoln party, which was organized to dc
liver the state from the hands of Aldrich
and his henchmen." 1t is believed that his
candidacy will add strength to that of Col
Goddard for the United States senatorship

MORMON ADVICE FROM SMITH.
Tells the Faithful of His Trip to
Europe.

An address by President Joseph F. Smith
was the principal event Of the seventy-se
enth semi-annual conference Of the Mormon
Church at Salt Lake City, Utah. yesterday.
President Smith talked confidentially of his
recent trip to Europe. He advised Mormon
parents to discontinue the practice of send
ing their children to Berlin to study, saying
that many Of the Mormon young people
there held themselves aloof from the church
meetings in the German capital.
He made no direct allusion to his own In
dictment, but he said: 80
LET every man live such an exemplary
life that there can be nothing to be said
against him; let him be true to his people;
let him be true to Zion and pure in his
ways, and the one God will uphold him.

The heavy expenditure which the tradi-

Still. 1t will none the less be necessary
for the British officer to be a fairly weil-to-

private hospitality which makes the position
of British naval officer on a foreign sta:

ing proportionately greater II he is in COM

On the subject OF naval hospitality a

When the new water system was
put in, the question of whether or no
Gallaher springs would furnish a
sufficient supply Of water for the city
the year through, was taken into con-
sideration. Tests made at the time of
developing the springs went to show
that there would be sufficient quantity
for domestic purposes, and with most
favorable conditions, for lawn sprink-
ling also. However the growth and
increase In water consumption for do
mestic purposes, and the consequent
demand for more lawn sprinkling to
which has been added street sprink-
ling, weather conditions becoming dry
and hot, makes 1t necessary for the
water commissioners to fall back on
the reserve supply furnished by the
pumping station. However, the
pumping plant will not be used more
than two months, when the irrigation
will be over and water from the
springs will again be in use exclus-
lively 1t is the purpose of Athena to
secure more water for her gravity sys-
tenn by the acquisition of other springs
in the territory of the source of her
present supply, but there are certain
conditions that must be overcome before
certain rights can be secured. Until
this can be effected, we must remain
content with portion of the loaf, or
IN other words, spring water ten
months in the year.. Satisfaction with
present conditions should not be so
hard of realization when the cost of
operation of the old system is taken
into consideration. There is quite
difference in $3.50 per month for
water for twelve months and $3.50 per
month for period of two months,
saying nothing of the pure water for
ten mouths of the year.

In the organization of the third
Eastern Oregon District Agricultural
society at Pendleton, the fair commits
sioners should not make the fatal mis-
take of leaving out the regula-
tion speedway and providing purses
for races. An agricultural fair
without the track and race horse,
would be as fiat as county conven-
tion without the delegatiors. Walla
Walla and Spokane have brushed
aside the street fair aud gone back to
the old fashioned county fair, with
its display of farm produce, stock,
merchandise, farm implements, fruits
etc., at which the generous purses and
stakes offered, bring the fleetest
horses on the coast into competition.
The races are featured as the most i'm
portant on The program for enter
tanning visitors to the grounds. With
the abrogation of the running and
light harness horse from the proposed
fair at Pendleton, one of the principal
departments is abolished and one of
the chief branches of the stock rails
ing industry in Eastern Oregon re-
mains unrecognized. BY all means,
Umatilla and Morrow counties. should
hold an annual district fair, but all
the departments of agriculture, manu-
factures and the stock raising industry
should be given the right Of represen-
tation, and the opportunity for CON-
petition.

The disgrace of the Pacific West is
the delusive mining company. The
pet scheme of the most insidious kind
of robbery and knaves has had more
to do with retarding the development
Of the mineral resources of the north
west than any one thing else and all
other things combined. Thousand sand
thousands of dollars have been squan
dered in useless operations and as
many thousand more have been filched
from the pockets of the unsuspectiDg
and slowed away in the ever rapacious
nav of some no-account and lazy
thief operating fine offices and pre-
tending to be man while he is only
a snsaking cur by day and a
cringing dog by night. 1t may startle
you, gentle reader. to learn that there
are no mines in the state Of Wash
ington at the present time, but there
are hundreds of prospects. In fact,
almost every operation which is being
conducted at the present tune in the
state of Washington is in the line of
development work. There are nu-
merous fine prospects, which indica-
tions show are likely to turn out rich
and may turn out rich, but there are
no mines in successful operation
now, which are known to the writer.
II there may be such mines. they are
insignificant and run upon small
scale. No doubt there is abundance
of iron, copper, gold and silver ores in
the state of Washington, but there are
not now any paying mines in opera
ton in producing the ore and turning
it into actual wealth. There are
myriads of companies selling stock of
mining companies, the returns on
which are used to pay salaries and
build houses for men who organize the
companies and promote them. Men
in Washington have grown very
wealthy by selling mining company
stock, while not one penny
has come into their hands through
the development and working of the
mines while indeed, some have lived
by selling stock in mining companies
which never owned anything more
than mile of pure rock and non-pro-
ductive soil. British Columbia has
mines; Oregon have mines; Idaho and
Montana has mines, which have paid
great dividends and are now paying.
The laws Of the state of Washing
ton should be changed SO tnat when
mining company is organized it
will be for the benefit of the purchas-
ers of the stock and not merely for the
men who organized it. Let there
be an end of the slick reptiles in fine
clothing and we'll groomed forms who
never hesitate to take money from
widow or orphan, old soldiers or
guileless youth laughing at the ease in
which it is obtained, add it to their
bank accounts and then look around
for more funds to devour and dissi-
nate.

excellent work at this school was car

the throats Of Yamhill statesmen and
the distorted editorial paragraphs

in the Portland Oregonian. At that

fully and courageously remained to

Now that the people in no mistaken
