Tho product o the mine will be taken out through thu Fitzhugh Lee tunnel to the Poland American Mining company's mill, nea the mouth of the opening, for treat mont.

When an ambitious, energetic, ag

Japanese allows its people to cone
to this lana in such numbers as to
seriously compete with the thrift and
skill of natives in any section of

make exclusion treaties. But when
hordes of ignorant and even vicious
representatives of other races come
here to degrade our moral and intel
lectual standards as we'll as to COM

we raise no protest even. If the inn
migration fror, southern Europe
could be centralized i'm one or two
states we would soon have protests
as vigorous as those of California
against the Monaghan races, and
then we would pass exclusion acts or
make treaties to keep them away
Taking it for granted that such meas

there is as much need for them as re-

Profitable Feature OF Farming.

In his address at the state dairy
convention at Indianapolis, DR.. Dexter
of the U. S. Department of Agricult-
ure, made some striking statements.
He probably had the knowledge TO
back up what he said, and his state1
ments ought to interest farmers. He
said: Farming is the best line of
business and dairying is the best line
of farming In every dairy commu-
nifty one sees better homes, better
schools, better political conditions
and better men than in any other To-
cality.
1.-THE industrial salvation of the
country depends on farming inter-
ests, and these depend on the most
profitable branch which is dairying.
1t is a fact that for every dollar adj
ded to the average income from
every dairy cow. fully $2o,ooo,oo0 is
added to the wealth of the country.
1.-THE production of a ton of wheat,
worth approximately $22 takes from
the soil $3.50 worth of fertility.
while the production of the same
amount of butter, worth $500, takes
so cents worth of fertility from the
land. 1t is easier to keep ont of debt
and pay reasonable rate of interest
on the investment for high-priced
land by developing the dairy industry
than by any other means"

Upholds Thaw in Sermon.

In a sermon remarkable for its
fearlessness Harry K. Thaw was up
held as the rescuer of girl from a
slavery far worse than African slav
cry ever was and Stanford H. White
was condemned as the. blacklist man
in the annals of American history.
The sermon was delivered by DR.
Henry Webb Johnson of the First
Presbyterian church of South Bend
Sunday before large and fashion
able congregation.
The minister selected as his sub
ject the text, Whatsoever man
soweth, that shall he also reap, Gala
6, z.
He said: Stanford H. White EN-
phatically sowed to flesh and of fle sh
he has reaped corruption He dug
his own grave and reaped as he had
sown. In my judgment the name OF
White is the blacklist in our Ameri-
can annals. | associate him with the
vile Nero of the Roman world. His
touch would defile every pure stream
of social life.
Fortunate for the young girls oil
New York city if he had died fifty
years ago. He was a moral leper
and poisoned everything upon which
he laid his vile hands This must be
said to the credit of Mr.. Thaw, tina,
he emancipated a. poor girl from a
slavery more terrible than African
slavery ever was"

Puts Good Name Above Money.

er of Kansas, who recently voluntar-
lily paid the state $4,000 to cover an
alleged shortage found under his adj
ministration, has stopped a move
ment to have the legislature reim-
burse him. He wrote Senator Smith,
who had introduced reimbursement
bill, to withdraw the measure, and
this was done.
In his letter Mr.. Grimes says:

FINDS AGAINST KURTZ.
Judge Funk Issues Order to Start
Proceedings at South Bend.

Former Prosecuting Attorney Geo.
A. Kurtz is to be prosecuted in dis
barment proceedings as the result OF
findings of a committee appointed
"Wednesday Jan 80, by Judge Walter
A. Funk, of the St. Joseph circuit
court, to investigate charges laid be-
fore the judge by Attorney Fred c.
Gabriel. This committee made the
following written report to the court
Friday forenoon.
In the matter of the charges
against George A Kurtz, an attorney
at law, we, the undersigned commit
tee, appointed by the Hon. Walter A.
Funk, judge of the St. Joseph circuit
court, respectfully report to said
court that we have examined the
charges and heard voluntary evidence
in said matter and are of the opinion
that the evidence warrants the court
in appointing attorneys to file and
prosecute disbarment proceedings
against the said George A. Kurtz.
Your committee further reports to
the court that Hon. Lucius Hubbard
took no part in the proceedings of
said committee"
This report is signed by Hon.
Francis E. Lambert, Hon. George
Ford, w. c. Crabill, ex-Prosecuting
Attorney Francis NJ. Jackson and
Daniel Rich. Judge Hubbard was
member of the committee, but took
no part in the proceedings and did
not sign the report. 1t is supposed
this is because he was the trial judge
at the time Kurtz moved and secured
the dismissal of FIVE indictments
against the noted blackleg, RED"
Austin, and felt that he ought to take
no part in the proceedings.
After Judge Funk had received the
brief typewriter report he glanced
over it and then read it aloud Mr..
Kurtz was one of the most interested
listeners. He sat beside long table
and listened to every word. Those
observing him closely say he turned
pale as the judge read the report,
but he withstood the ordeal in out
ward calmness. At the same time
sort of gloom seemed to settle over
the attorneys in the court room.
Judge Funk, after reading the re-
port, said it became the duty of the
court to appoint a committee to file
and prosecute disbarment proceed
ings. He accordingly named as a
committee Mr.. Lambert, Mr.. Crabill
and Mr.. Gabriel, appointing Mr.
Lambert as chairman. The court in
structed this committee to file its
report on or before the 18th day of

Since the Hepburn bill went into
effect, with the ruling that railroads
could no longer exchange transpor-
tation for advertising, many of the
companies have abandoned the prac-
tice of printing the time or arrival
and departure of trains in the local
papers.
One passenger agent has sent out
the remarkable statement that he be
lieved the newspapers ought to pub
lish time tables as a matter of news
On the same principle the news
papers ought to publish free notices
of the attractions at the theatres
They ought to print free of cost the
announcement that some merchant
had just received a new stock of
clothing or other goods, or that an
other merchant was giving a special
discount on certain lines in his stores
The announcements are of as great
interest to the public as the arrival
and departure of trains. But were
newspapers to carry all such matter
free they could not continue in bust
ness.

Can Not Bar from Mails.

Washington, Feb. 12-It was prac-
tically admitted at the white house
today that President Roosevelt and
Postmaster General Cortelyou are
powerless TO take effective action in
the direction of barring from the
mails the newspapers that have pub
lished the verbatim reports of the
Thaw trial.
This question was considered at
the cabinet meeting today and after
the meeting adjourned Postmaster
General Cortelyou, acting under the
instructions of President Roosevelt,
said he had submitted some papers to
the attorney general, who was requir-
ed to give an opinion as to whether
the papers publishing the full dis
gushing reports of the Thaw trial
could be barred from the mails.
A number of documents were sub
mitted to the attorney general, to-
gether with copies of several news
papers.
1t was admitted that the govern
ment is powerless to exclude from
theh mails the papers that contained
the full testimony OF Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, for the reason that these pap
ers have already been mailed. 1t was
also stated that it is not expected
there will be any more testimony of
this character and therefore the gov
ernment will not be called on to act
1t is said that the government
could not lay down any rule for fut-
ure action, as it could not take &C
ton until the matter had been pub
lished, after which the government
officials would have to consider the
situation
Stories were current that three
newspapers would be barred from
the mails on account of the Thaw
trial but this story was denied by
Postmaster General Cortelyou
