Here is a tip for mining investors,
says the editor of the Tonopah Sun.
If you are looking for swindlers and
mining sharks and don't know where
to find them for sure, just pick out
the mining advertisement containing
he picture of the advertising pro-
moter. OF all the dishonest faces,
with cr~ookedness written all over
them, these capture the prize. Just
take a look Mt them nj any paper
"devoed to mining and if you can
find an honest face among the dozen
who adorn their ads with their por-
traits, you will have accomplished a
more difficult feat han to find twenty
honest faces in any rogues' gallery
in existence. Thhey are certainly a

we have returned from Texas,
coming back to Lake Charles on
the gulf coast, in southwestern
Louisiana, the rice belt of the
world. Some sugar cane and a
little corn is grown here, but rice
is the prevailing crop, and in this
rice belt we find the Yankee from

rest of the population are French

WASHINGTON LETTER.

AS the session of Congress
draws to an end there is more
and more speculation what bills,
if any, stand a show of passing
and what legislation the presi-
dent is going to recommend in
the railroad line and whether
there will be an extra session
called. 1t may be said in the
first place that nothing in the
way of legislation has any chance
of passing now if there is any
opposition to it. The penal code
bill is still the unfinished bus
mess before the House and there
is no chance of getting through
with that measure in the next
six months, so business has to be

ords and extra copies of patents
may be kept. The present stu
alton is fast becoming intoler-
able. The old section of the In
terror department where the
Patent Office is housed, has about
reached the limit of it's capacity
for storing the records and the
extra copies of patents for which
inventors are constantly calling
from all over the country. An
appropriation of $4,000 for ex-
ira storage room has been asked
and it is possible that this item
may be included in one of the
appropriation bills before the end
of the session.

On last Wednesday at 9:25 a.
m. we started for Nashville from
New Orleans, a distance of 625
miles, and at 5 a. m. next morn
ing arrived at our destination.
Here we find the weather feels
like winter. On the 18th we will
get home to Portland. We are
here in Nashville with J. C. Col
Inns, who was raised in the vicin-
ity of Ansonia, Darke county.
He is here as general agent for
the Port Huron Machinery Com
pany for several of the southern
states. We will say very little
about Nashville, for when we see
some of our old comrades, such
as the Martin boys of your city,
C. w. Berry of Versailles, or

beautiful Hoosier town on the
Salamonie river, the 10th Of last

thousand miles will have been
traversed by us ere we reach
home. We have only seen light
frosts since we started, and have
feasted on new potatoes and
strawberries while in the south.

done by unanimous consent and
of course it is only on measures
to which everyone is agreed that
this can be obtained.
This is what is holding up the
immigration bill just now. There
is opposition to the measure by
certain interests from the south
and while the Administration re-
alizes the Importance of this mea-
sure from an international view
point, there is only one way out
of the difficulty. The president
is keeping the threat of an extra
session in the background and it
may be used effectively in get
ting the immigration bill through.
An extra session is the last thing
that members of Congress want,
and the president has threatened
that if the immigration bill does
not go through with the Japa-
nese provision in the shape he
wants it, he will call the extra
session and take advantage of
the opportunity to get through a
number of other pieces of legis-
lative work that he thinks need
doing.
A matter that is of general in
terest to most people that may
be crowded through in the last
days of the session is the copy
right bill. This is a measure a.
bout the justice of which there
is little discussion in the general
features. Authors, dramatists
and the like are provided with
protection and both the House
and Senate are agreed on the
main features of the bill. But
there is a lively fight on between
the musical composers and the
mechanical musical people as to
the rights of musical compost
tions. This is where the humble
but popular phonograph, the me-
chanical piano player and a num-
ber of similar devices come in.

the musical end to the copyright
bill is likely to block the whole
measure and get it hung up till
the end of the session.
/, Sheep raisers and woolen mill
men of all persuasions are unit
ing in opposition to the presi-
dents grazing land measure.
This is one phase of the public
land protection policy that is be-
ing urged by the Administration.
There is a strong lobby at the
Capitol to prevent action on the
measure and in the meantime the
grazing lands of the west are be-
ing killed out as fast as the sheep
men can kill them. The scheme
is the simple one of leasing all
the grazing lands still under con-
troll of the government and say
ing to the lessees that such an
area will support so many sheep
or cattle and not allowing any
more to be grazed on it. Most
of the cattle raisers, both big and
little, are in favor of such legis-
lation and the Department of
Agriculture which has made a
study of the subject has recon-
mended it without hesitation.
But the wool men are heartily
against it. The sheep interests
of the west are very largely in
the hands of foreigners who come
over the border from Canada and
Mexico, principally Canada, with
immense bands of sheep, Craze
them across the country and back
by some other route, taking the
most of the season in the pro-
cess, and leave the land behind
them an absolute desert. Cattle
may Craze on a tract of land and
actually improve it. So may
sheep in moderation. But sheep
will eat out grass, roots and all,
when they are in immense bands
and what they do not eat they
tramp out with their sharp hoofs,
so that they can sweep over a
stretch of country and leave it
an absolute desert for a genera
ton. The sheep men claim that
the government leasing plan fol-
the grazing lands is in the inter.
: ests Of the cattle monopoly. But

Is Harry Thaw Insane?
BY LEO.


sane now, but was insane when
he killed White, and for few
weeks thereafter. What are the
offered proofs of Thaw's insani-
ty? Three alienists - Wagner,
Wiley and Evans-have been on
the stand and gave their expert
opinion in the matter, and surely
every careful reader will pro-
nounce the testimony very un-
satisfactory. They have made
out Thaw to be somewhat eccen-
trio, easily angered, and revenge
full; but not insane in the ordin-
ary sense of the term.
DR.. Wiley testified that Thaw
when a child of seven years had
fits of epilepsy. Well, what of
that? julius Caesar had the fall
ing sickness" when a grown up
man, but was never thought to
be insane on that account. He
was Rome's great statesman and
warrior of the greatest men
of any age.
DR.. Wagner gave it as his op-
inion that Thaw did not know it
was wrong for him to kill White.
There are thousands of sane peo-
pie all over the land who think
the same. Men say White de-
served his fate. Probably Thaw
had worked himself into that be-
lief, but that only shows a de-
fective judgment, not irrespon-
sible insanity.
DR.. Evans proved himself a
very poetical expert. He used
so many figurative phrases, that
when translated into the common
vernacular, became valueless as
proofs of insanity. Look at some
of them: Severe brain Storm
that is, fits of anger. Suppose
he had a bad temper, does that
make him insane? Thousands of
people have brain storms in their
craniums, but are sane men and
women. Queen Elizabeth of Eng
land had severe brain storms, and
swore like a trooper, but still was
the great Queen of England and
was never suspected of insanity.
Exaggerated ego" that is, in
common parlance, had the big
head" disease. A look at ThaW's
Uranium will convince any one
that the prisoner is an abnorm-
ally egotistic man. No doubt he
over-estimated his own import
ance. But are there not many
sane people of like makeup?
Do we think of them as insane?
Lord Chettown of England said
at one time, II can save the state,
and.no one else can." Was he
insane? Was Napoleon insane
because he believed himself the
only man in France capable OF
ruling? Illuminating condition
of mental unsoundness"; that is,
a blatant crank. Well, suppose
DIR. Evans told the truth about
it. does it show insanity? By no
means, for society is full of such
cranks and they are treated as
sane. Further on the poetical
expert affirmed that Thaw was
subject to "Delusions of perse-
cutory character" which means
in plain terms that his deluded
mind was bent on revenge re-
vengeful man. Is every man OF
that nature an insane person?
Do we regard and treat them as
such?
It looks to us as if the experts
so far have utterly failed to make
out Thaw's insanity. When Je-
rome comes to cross-eXamine
