The Troops in Nevada.

Those labor agitators of the more ag-
gressive type who are abusing Presi-
dent Roosevelt for sending regular
TROOPS to Goldfield,' Nevada, are max
ing themselves very foolish in view Of
the facts of the case. The troops were
sent there to maintain order and pro-
tect property against the rioting miners
and they were sent in accordance with
Section 4 of Article " of the United
States constitution which reads as fol-
lows: - 80
The United States shall guarantee to
every state in this Union a republican
form of government. and shall protect
each of them against invasion and on
application of the Legislature. or of the
executive (when the Legislature cannot
be convened) against domestic vio-
lence.
Governor Sparks of Nevada having
formally appealed to; the President for
the assistance of troops to protect the
state against domestic violence" there
was nothing for the President to do but
to order the troops moved there with
out delay. unless he wished to take the
ground that Governor Sparks was in
competent to judge the needs Of the
situation. Without violating the pro-
visions of the constitution, the Presi-
den. could not have denied the Cover
no-'s request, ard it is hard to see how
the labor agitators in question. who Of
course are not representative Of labor
ing mel in general, can justify their
attack upon the President.
The underlying issue Of the Goldf1eld
contest is "open versus closed shop"
that is, whether the mine operators
shall have the right to employ whom
they want to. or whether the miners
union shall dictate who shall work in
the mines, but the President is not
called upon to consider that issue He
is simply fulfilling his sworn duty to
send federal troops to preserve order
and protect property in q state when
the authorities of that state find the
situ1tion too much for them The situ-
alton in Nevada is somewhat different
than it was in Chicago in 1894 when
President Cleveland sent troops there
during the progress of great strike.
In that earlier case the President did
not act in response to the request of the
governor Of Illinois but rather in op-
position 70 the wishes of-Altgeld, who
was Democrat of anarchistic tenden-
cies. The troops were sent to Chicago to
Keep open national roads of travel and
President Cleveland was acting under
an Interpretation of his powers which
met both legal and popular approval.

STOCK EXCHANGE AGREES
TO REORGANIZATION PLAN

1t is learned that considerably more
than two-thirds of the membership of
the Salt Lake Stock & Mining exchange
have signed the agreement to disincorpo-
rate and reorganize as a simple associa-
ton, thus following cut the lines upon
which the largest exchanges of this
country and the world. for that matter,
do business.
The presumption Is that, now that the
membership has signified its determine
ton to make the change. that President
James A. Pollock so soon as he RECEIVERS
from his recent spell of sickness suffi-
ciently to attend to business again, will
call a meeting of the exchange to FORM
ally carry out the terms Of the agree
ment that has been signed up. Mr.. Pol
lock has been long and persistent advo-
cate of the change, which he believes will
greatly strengthen the Institution and
make it a power for good in the field
that il occupies.
The reorganized exchange will have alb
solute and perfect control of its MEM
bership and rules for its government can
be enforced. Memberships will not be
such common stock as they are under
the incorporated system and penalties for
breaches of the rules governing trading
can be enforced.

BUTTE MEN BUY
IDAHO LEAD PROPERTY

W. F. Mitchell returned yesterday
morning from weeks trip into the Birch
Creek mineral region, Fremont county,
Idaho He reports that Robert N Bell
the state mine inspector, has just closed
a deal with powerful Butte syndicate
for the handling of the big lead property
that Bell has been developing for the
past two years, few miles north of the
Weimer Copper eompany's properties, and
on the same great mineral belt The
Butte crowd. he was told intended to
begin operations upon an extensive scale
just as soon as they could get shaped
around for il.
Mr.. Mitchell spent several DAYS in go
ing over the Weimer properties and he
returns convinced that a tremendously
big copper mine is going to reasult from
development and he believes, also, that
back Of the copper lodges in the same
property will be opened some magnificent
bodies Of lead ore.
After my tramp over the Weimer
COmpanyS properties said Mr. Mitchell
7 prOSpected along down through the
range for nine miles TO the point where
Inc mountains taper off into the Birch
Creek valley While my inspection was
a superficial one. of course, / saw so
many evidences of splendid mineraliza-
ton that l became impressed with the
outlook for the entire region Some of
the boys at the Weimer property have
lead prospect south of that company's
holdings that looks good to me and |
have no doubt that many fine properties
viii eventually be opened up in that sec
ton"
Mr. Mitchell became so impressed with
the country that he regretted having to
leave so SOON He declared that he could
have spent a month most profitably in
that section and. while he will probably
have to leave and look after his Nevada
interests before doing so, he expects to
mako another pilgrimage into the coun-
try during the present season.
