Mr.. Bryan has decided that
government ownership shall not
be an issue next year. When he
came home from Europe this was
to be the issue and the peerless
one proclaimed it defiantly. But
the effects of that New York re-
ception have had time to pass
away and Mr.. Bryan, knowing
that he will need votes as we'll
as issues in 1908, has decided to
back up little from the radical
position he took on the railroad
question. His new position as
given in the Commoner is as fol-
fows: Government ownership
is not the immediate issue. A
large majority hope for effective
regulation, but while they so
hope, they will not consider
ownership. While many Demo-
Gratis believe, and Bryan is one
of them, that public ownership
of railroads is an ultimate solu-
ton of the problem, still those
who believe that the public will
finally, in self defense, be driven
to ownership, realize that regu-
lation must be tried under the
most favorable circumstances be-
fore the masses will be ready to
try a more radical remedy"

The editor Of this paper would
be the last man on earth who

outgrown its purpose, if it ever

death comes to your home it is
only natural that your neighbors

could to comfort, help and assist
you. They would be heathens if
they did not. They know from
the expression of your face that
you are thankful and deeply ap.
preciate all they do, and it is not
necessary to go into print and
tell the world that your neigh.
bors were good to you when you

Before coming. to town to do
your trading look over your paper
and see who are the advertisers
and then go to them and buy your
goods, and take our word you
will never regret it. You will
find the men who advertise are
men of push and enterprise, and
will give you better bargains than
a man who is too close fisted to
spend a dollar for fear he will
not get it back again. The day
for a man to carry on success
full business without advertising
is past. Competition is SO close
that he must let people know
what he has or he will never
make a success. Patronize the
man who advertises.

That man Lilly at Telluride,
who was treasurer of everything
from the county to the school
board and Elks lodge, has been
found by experts to be over
$4,000 short in his accounts.
The stealing went on for ten or
a dozen years. All this while
the fellow was putting in his
spare time at the gambling table.
Everybody knew he was doing
this and still the public was not
suspicious. Telluride must be a

The President and
A Second I erm
denver Republican.

The demand that President
Roosevelt reconsider his deter
mination not to become candi-
date for the presidency at the
next election is becoming so
strong that it would seem impos-
sible for him to refuse to heed
the call Of the people.
It is not as though he were the
only man capable of filling the
highest office in the gift Of his
country, but that there will re-
main at the expiration OF his
term so much unfinished business
intimately connected with his
views and the policies which he
has made so distinctly his own,
that no one else is so we'll quail
fed to dispose of in accordance
with the highest interests of the
people.
The people are not prompted
by servile motives or blinded by
hero worship in making this de-
mand upon President Roosevelt.
They are simply taking a sober
minded view of the situation, and
as prudent business men would
retain the services of an emf
nently capable employe, they are
resolved to secure, if possible,
the presidents continued service
for second elective term. They
want their business attended to
in a proper way, and since the
most notable and important parts
of that which will remain is an
outgrowth of President Roose-
velt's policies, common sense de-
mands that it be intrusted to him
rather than to any other man.
When he declared thau he
would not again be a candidate,
President Roosevelt was entirely
sincere, as every one who has
any knowledge Of his character
recognizes. He had just been
elected for the first time; but he
had filled nearly three years of
the unexpired term of President
Mckinley, and he felt that with
the expiration of his own first
term he would have served the
people as long as they would have
any claim upon him. But he
could not have foreseen the ur-
gency of the business which will
necessarily be left unfinished at
the expiration of his present
term.
Considerations Of this kind
should impel him to view the
subject in the new light now cast
upon it. He should recognize
that the first duty Of a citizen is
to his country, and that when the
people cali upon him with unani-
nous voice to accept the presi-
dency for another four years, no
choice is left him but to obey.

not sit close, not hold hands, not
linger over the goodbye and not
be up after 1890. All of this is
sane, safe and eminently correct,
and if carried out would save
lot of morals from getting rup-
tured and punctured, but, as an
exchange pertinently points out,
the eminent divine fails to take
one very important thing into
consideration, namely, human
nature and then goes on to say
that all theories and precepts
which do not take human nature
into account as prime factor of
life are bound to fail of their
purpose. That is exactly where
Plaindealer has always pointed
out the weakness of the beauti-
full creed promulgated by the
Socialists. 1t is altogether lovely
and might work all right if it
were sprung up in heaven instead
of here on earth, but the origin
ators and followers of it have
forgotten the all important fact
which it has to contend with
human nature. Human nature
is naturally selfish, always has
been and always will be, and the
Socialist of today is as selfish as
anybody else. He is promulgat-
ing creed for his neighbor, not
for himself, and if any one of
them happened to be left a for
tune by a rich relative who should
die, and he was called on to share
up with his fellow man because
he did not Individually produce
that wealth, you would hear him
roar like a hog being driven out
of the garden with a dog to its
ear. He is exactly like the pro-
hibitionists of Kansas; they
all favor prohibition for their
neighbors and buy their own
whiskey by the keg down at
Kansas City, just the same. HUI
man nature is human nature,
very much so, and the only fel-
low who hollers for a distribution
of property or that the wealth of
the country belongs only to the
producer thereof is the fellow
who never had any wealth and
never produced anything but
trouble. The less he produces
the louder he talks Socialism and
the louder he talks Socialism the
less he produces. AS rule they
are ne'er-do-wells, discontented,
sour, iconoclastic knockers who
go around grumbling and growl-
ling like bear with a sore head,
damning their fellow men for the
results of their own shiftlessness
and laziness, whining like chill
dren because some fellow creature
with energy, enterprise, industry
and frugality, and with sunshine
in his heart, has a bigger stick
Of candy than they. Human
nature is as God made it and all
the creeds of dreamers and NAL
contents can not change it, and
as long as human nature is as it
is lovers will spoon and Socialists
continue to be living, breathing
examples Of fault-finding and
failure,

rules and regulations as to plumb
ing to be used in connection with its
water works system. To insure OBJ
servance of these rules and regula-
tons it will require bonds from
plumbers, and will not make con-
nection with its system of any plumb

HIGHER COPPER.

Copper has reached $3.50 cents per
pound in New York city. This is the
highest price paid for the metal since
1880, when in January of that year
ii reached 25 cents, says the Mining
Review. The highest price reached
within so years was in 1865, when it
touched 80 cents a pound III January,
it's lowest price during that year be-
ing in July, when it was quoted at %
cents. In January 1902 copper sold
at II cents. There have been rapid
fluctuations in the price of copper
in many past years, but the present
price is wholly due to industrial pro-
gress throughout the world, and so
long as prosperity and expansion con-
tinue, so long will copper be in de-
mand, and the price can lower little
If any. Really it seems safe to pre-
dict higher, rather than a lower
price There are those who prophe-
sy the approach of a financial crisis
II may come, and no doubt will,
sooner or later, but hard times means
ii more strict economy. It means the
need of less expense in operating en-
terprises of every kind, among them
railroads. To lessen cost of railroad
operation steam must give place to
electricity and copper will be requir-
ed in larger amount than ever before
in the history of the world.
The fact that copper has advanced
to higher price than has obtained
in 80 years seems to form no barrier
TO its more extended use. Several
years since it was predicted that if
copper should go above 20 cents per
pound, its use would largely be dis
continued in favor of aluminium as
it may also be employed as a COLI
ductor of electricity.
Aluminium has been largely used in
building Transmission lines. particu-
alrly in Central California, some of
which were subsequently replaced by
'opptI, pIoNluS tudt copper Is given
the preference notwithstanding the
constantly advancing price of that
metal. Aluminium has much lower
specific gravity than copper, but a
larger sectional area is required than
of copper 10 transmit given current
of electricity. This difference makes
the cost of copper and aluminium as
electric conductors about even when
copper sells at 20 cents The present
price of the metal makes it less ex-
pensiye than copper but this is ap-
parently given little consideration.
Copper enters largely into the manu-
facture of electrical machinery aud
for many Of these uses aluminium APP
pears TO be unsuited. Aluminium is
finding more extended use annually
in arts and manufactures, but as an
electric conductor it has apparently
not found the favor which was antic-
ipated for it several years ago.

such expenditure as co-owner, which

workers, and an honest man need not
be idle long.
But these men do not desire to
take part in the upbuilding of the
camp. They wish to fatten from the
toll of others.
District Attorney Eddy now has Il
plan for working the prisoners on
the streets. His idea is to have rock
hauled in from the neighboring hills
and have the prisoners spread it on
the streets of the camp. In this way
Aultman street could soon be mac
adamized from end to end, and the
other streets improved.
Just now. when every business
man in Ely has his hands full with
building projects and increased bust
ness, every element in the camp
should be made to count for pro-
gress.
Honest workers now have all they
can do on the new uildings, at the
mines and at the smelter. 1t would
not be an easy matter to find men to
work on the improvement of the
streets, even though the funds were
now available.
This work could be done by the
prisoners, and would harden them in
for honest labor after they are set
at liberty. 1t might also inspire
them with a distaste for life in jail
and create in them desire to earn
honest livings.
