 PLIES 22 PER CENT IN COPPER.
(From Fridays Daily.)

W. C. Hanson came in yesterday from his mining camp in the Kirkland district. where he is taking some high grade orc from vein which bc discov. cred while prospecting last November. In n prospect shaft he recently started on the ledge there is from five to six inches of ore exposed that samples % per cent in copper, s9 in gold and : ounces in silver. He located three claims in the group, covering n we'll defined vein. that can bc traced across the mountains for some distance. Al ter transacting important mining busi. ness here he will return to his camp, which is located on the property, about one mile east of Kirkland, the nearest accessible railroad station on the B.

4 GLASS CLOCK.

\ somewhat futile feat of painstRk. ing ingenuity has been accomplished after six years of continuous work in the construction of working clock, every part of which, except the springs, is made of glass. The constructor is a Bohemian glass polisher, named Joseph Bayer, who lives in Theresienthal. and who is now Fl years old
 The plates and pillars which form the framework are of glass and arc boltcd together with glass screws. The dial plate, hands, shafts and cogwhoels are of glass and glass wedges and pins are used for fastening the various parts of the running gear together.
 All these parts are ground to tho average proportions of the metal part of other clocks of ibe same size. Th' teeth of the cogwheels are cut will minute cSactnoss Only the balance wheel is heavier and thicker than | would D. m m ordinary clock, but it Il fashioned 20 as to properly control 'h' movements of the whole machine.
 Like the clock itself, the key witl which it is wound k of glass. Tn completion of the clock was a matte of infinite pains. Some of the part had to be made over md over agsi as often as forty times before eloc that would go and keep time was prc duccd. The builder sets price on th finished model of 2,500 marks, or abou t625. Labor is cheap in Bohemis. % Chicago Chronicle.

 "Whilc Dc Raylnn was very friendly with Baron Schlippenbsch and a certain Russian prince, who was in Chicago At The time, he never had any male friends other than these st the house. Where hc spent his evenings was a mystery to his wife. He was a member of the 'hicago Hussars, n showy cavalry com. pany, and rode n horse like n Cossack. HIS favoritc was largo black marc, and he made splendid figure whom. ever he got in the saddle. I know that De Rsylan served in the Spanish war, and l have seen documents and medals that proved it. l was always sus. piciops that he was connected with the Russian secret service, and think it probable that his work in that direction was one of tho reasons for tho conceal. ment of the fact that hc was woman. ! also have reasons Co believe that sev. eral prominent Russians in Chicago knew the secret.
 Mrs. De Raylan would never tell mo her past history or how she came to marry her husband. Her only cx. plantation Co me was that she loved him SO. Only once did I ever hear her refer to his effeminate habits. One morning after he had been ou, unusually late the night before, she rnecrcd about his custom of taking baths in perfumed water. He was a very light eater. For breakfast he always wanted little cakes and cocoa.
 "During the last few months of my stay at the house, Mrs. De Raglan began to grow abusive toward her hus. band. She seemed to resent more and more his neglect of her. She was not the kind of woman that could stand that kind of thing very long. The eli. max came one morning, when in going into his room, after his departure, she found something that seemed proof to her that her husband was unfaithful That night, when De Raylan came home 'herc was n terrible scene. The wife lost control of her temper and laid vio lent hands on her husband. She beat him severely and hc never even attempt cd to defend himself. When it was all over I cried for sympathy for him.

COPPER TOUCHED \ NEW H|GH
 FIGURE

Copper touched n new high price level this week when sales of spot Lake were made at 25 cents per pound, n point not reached before since 1880. This price was made on cnsh sales only, and tho regular market is not yet up to this level. For March, April and May deliveries, Lake is selling around 2i cents to 2iis cents, and cltcrolytic at e3's cents pcf pound. There arc many buyers md few sellers. Supplies continue exhausted, and there is noth. ing in sight to encourage tho belief that prices will decline for several months to come.
 The recent floods in the Clifton, Afi. zona, district have cut down the pro. duction of copper there by nearly g.. Ooo,o0o pounds. The fuel famine, due partly to labor troubles and partly to inability of railroads to handle all the traffic offered them, is seriously curtail ing production in the Northwest and Southwest, the output of the Bisbee dis trict having been smaller for two or three months past, and the smelter of the old Dominion company now beint closed down because of coke and coa shortage.
 It seems impossible that there car be any considerable increase in copper supplies before August or September of this year, as the product of the new smelting capacity now being construc ted, must go through the reGncrics he fore reaching consumer. At best ther, is always n considerable delay in th' starting of new reduction plants. Thi fact found illustration recently in thu announcement that the big shelter o the American Smelling and Rcfnini company, at Garfield, Utah, after run ming two or three months, has beer closed down for extensive alteration and repairs.

Public Opinion Throughom the Union

their vacations In cool retreats, at
seashore resorts or under the tower
ing mountain peaks, there might be
found a foothold for some plausible
argument for three months Of dry rot.
But how many are thus favored, and
what parent but knows that during
the summer season no healthy child
fails to burn up tenfold more energy
Of body and mind than is required for
the successful prosecution of any
reasonable educational curriculum?
We shall hereafter elaborate these
suggestions, which have long con-
vinced us of the tremendous waste of
child life; but for the present, and
until public opinion in this commu
nifty works to the point of view on
this important question, which is
taken in vast sections of this and
other lands, We submit a modest re.
form. Give full month 8 vacation,
and during the other two wasted
moons let there be, whenever possi-
BILE, a short session each day, say a

not oblivious of the practical objec-
tions and obstacles to the line Of
conduct we have sketched. But other
people have met and mastered the
difficulties, and we can do so, and
must do so, if man is to utilize all
his opportunities and be perfect in

SENATOR TAYLOR DEFINES DE-
MOCRACY.

Democracy" says Senator Bob
Taylor, stands for putting the bit
in the mouth of aggregated capital,
and for thorough overhauling of the
robber tariff system. The country
needs man who would treat officials
of corporations who violate the law
the same as he would the humblest
cltizen-not by fning them, but by
giving them free pass to prison. -
When Senator Taylor said this he
was seated on the porch Of the home
Of William Jennings Bryan in Lin
coin, Neb., and the presumption is he
was giving utterance to sentiments
that would be pleasing to his host.
He went on to declare that the gen.
eral government had long been en-
croaching upon the rights Of the
states, and he particularly denounced
the action OF Judge Pritchard in
North Carolina.
Every day makes the trend towards
a states right issue In 1908 more dis
tinct, and it may readily become the
leading plank in the platform. 1t
cuts both ways, for while it seeks
to preserve the states from complete
"bhGeratlon as political entities it also
seeks to bring aggregate capital"
under public control and supervision
within the state.-The Age Herald.

DEFEAT OF FEDERAL USURPA-
TON.

The backbone of Governor Glenn,
Of North Carolina, has established
the fact that one state, at least, has
some rights that Federal intermed-
dlers have been compelled to respect.
The issuing of writ of habeas, cor
pus, before the arrest Of Finley Of
the Southern Railway, by Pritchard
shows how eager Federal judges are
to serve their masters. The final sur
render Of the railroad officials by
agreeing to comply with the law is
triumph for states rights and an ig-
nominious defeat for Federal usur-
patton.
If the big stick is so potent why
is it not used against the Texas Anti
Trust law and few other drastic
measures passed by the Texas Legis-
lature and rigidly enforced7 Ohio
and other states passed rate laws that
have been enforced without Federal
OuOI Willy d
state should be selected for the pur-
pose of asserting Federal authority
over state affairs is not clear.
The action Of Governor Glenn
shows that the spirit of '76 is not
dead in the old North State. A few
more state executives like the Gov.
ernor Of North Carolina and state s
rights will be firmly re-established.
The recent California Legislature,
which was composed largely Of Espee
poems, in the matter of the japanese
school question, puppied down at the
mere mention Of the big stick. Other
states, both North and South, select
as rule lawmakers who are not made
Of putty, pass laws and enforce them
without so much as by your leave,

CHILD WASTE.

There is much human nature about
man. We are such creatures of habit
that at times we exhibit our supposed
nexus to the lower animal order. Man
is groove machine, and lives, moves
and has his being in ruts. The Japa-
pese women are said to disport in the
fashion plates of $500 years ago. We
become so Injured to that which re-
bounds to our hurt as to rebel against
changed relations that make for bet
terment. The Chinese prisoner, who
slept for half century on pallet Of
spikes, when released, refused bed
Of eiderdown. Our boasted educa-
tional system contains as corner
stone one of the most remarkable
anamolies known amongst men. We
are more prodigal in child waste than
half drunken debauche with ances-
trail dollars under the witchery Of the
glitter and splendor of Monte Carlo.
We throw away one-third of every
school year Of every child in the land
in what the dunder-headed stupidity
of custom calls vacation. We do this,
though there are growing areas Of en-
ightened communities acutely alive to
the work of the child spoiler and
bending every energy to exercise the
fetish custom. This suggestion that
the annual three months intermission
is waste of vital energy, a retarda-
tion Of social progress and utterly and
wickedly criminal, strikes the aver
age man as long-haired vagary, a
visionary dream. Yet, we maintain
that this surprised incredulity in its
abandoned triling with vital concerns
but accentuates our opinion that man
is a creature Of habit, just as is the
ape who gathers socoanuts in the
same way as did the Simians in the
Garden Of Eden.
There is not one substantial rea.
son in the facts Of nature, either of
climate, Of human endurance or in
the receptivity Of the mind, that jus
tifies the unexcusable waste Of one
third Of a child's school years. IF
our summers are too hot for intellec-
tual work, the whole year in torrid
and subtropical zones is too hot, for
the average temperature is higher
than our highest. Yet there are
schools in those regions. Nor is there
any cessation here in any line of hu-
man endeavor or mental labor save
school work. If the children spent

PRESIDENT AND PURITANs.

the occasion of the laying Of the
cornerstone of a monument to the
Pilgrim Fathers, was in his best vein
and was altogether worthy of him.
We may or may not agree with his
estimate of the Puritans. They were
too cock sure, arrogant and overbear-
ing for us. They demanded all sorts
Of liberty of conscience for themselves
but didn' It want people who disa-
greed with them to have any at all.
We like the Cavaliers better. But
the Presidents address was high
ly feicitious and quite adapted TO
the occasion.
It was upon present day topics,
however, that he was most interest
ing. He ran on parallel lines with
Secretary Taft the night before. II
the two collaborated upon the Secre-
tary's Ohio speech, as Is said, they
must have collaborated also on this
address Of yesterday. From their
"laisser-faire, which the Secretary
used twice and the President once,
through the discussion Of railroad
and other corporations and trusts, the
speeches are strikingly alike. There
is little in the President express
sions about any of them to object to.
To bring them within the operations
Of the law, to safeguard their In,er-
ests while protecting the peoples
rights-this is proposition which no
just man can object to and there is
a great deal of merit in the sugges-
ton that "the national government
should exercise over them (the great
railroad corporations) similar su-
persion and control to that which it
exercises over national banks"
In reference to dealing with trusts,
the President points out, as did Sec
retary Taft the extreme difficulty OF
securing the conviction of individuals
and indicates two cases in which
trusts were convicted and their pres
idents, who had made them guilty,
were acquitted. He thinks that prog
ress has been made in dealing with
trusts and pledges the administration
to continuance of its efforts in this
direction.
"The Department of Justice" lie
says, 'has recently taken steps to
see if it is not possible, in certain con-
tingencies and for certain reasons,
to put the trusts that are gully
wrong-doing in the hands Of receiv-
ers. The purpose of the administra-
ton is to stamp out the evil; we shall
seek to find the most effective device
for this purpose; and shall then use
it whether the device can be found
in existing law or must be supplied
by legislation.
While dwelling upon the impor-
tance Of wise legislation in protecting
and promoting the interests Of the
people, the president as usual exalts
the individual and gives him to under
stand that after all he must work
