 Delegates.
CAREER WRITES TO GRAY

Attorney General A. M. Garber has ruled that the license for warehouse men is an annual license and must be paid every year. He also holds that the state mine inspector must keep his books and papers open ut all time to the inspection of the public. A ques- tion had come up on Inspector Gray giving to an insurance company somo Information about mlne Being called 10 account, he asked the attorney gen- eral for advice, which indicates that he was right in his action.
 Garber's Opinion.
 The opinion of the attorney general Is as follows, addressed to Chief Mine Inspector John M Gray;
 "on February 19, 1908. you requested me to advise you whether your reports of accidents and maps and other official documents of your department are pub- lie records in such sense that yoa should on request give copies of the same to interested parties, such as in- surance companies which are interestet in mines insured by them And you
 
 complained to you for furnishing an in- surance company with a copy of your report made on the mine of such com pany.
 Under section 2901 of the code, tho 'iine inspectors are required to exam ilI all the mines in this state at least every three months and to see that all fI, ,F al,. Q code are strictly observed and carried out; and to make 8 record of all exam nations of mines showing the various details mentioned in that section "to- Sether with all such other facts and in- formation of public interest concerning the condition of mines, development and progress of mining in this state as he may think useful and proper, ahf so much thereof as may be of public in. terest, to be included in his biennial report" There is nothing in the law governing the inspection of mines so far as I can find. which requires you to keep secret your reports and investiga- tions; to the contrary the purpose of the law is that you shall give the pub lie the benefit of your investigations. An insurance company is naturally in terested in your official reports on the mines insured by them and it Is proper that you should, on the request of such company, give them such information as you may have gathered in the line of your duties-unless for reasons of state you think it best to within old such information. But the owners of mines have no cause of complaint against you if you make such records public"

LITTLE APPLES.


| degree, rich or poor.
LITTLE APPLES.
| am not able to speak from expert
ence, but | am told that in load of
apples, under the jolting of the wagon
the little apples all get to the top and
hide the big ones, and hence l suppose
that the size of the apples on top indi-
cate the iolting of the wagon. If this
be true, both of our wagons, civic and
ecclesiastic have been jolting pretty hard
in these latter years, for fine lot Of lit
tie apples have come up on top.
Look where we may in public life we
see the men of strongest brain and best
moral life are not on top in the places
of public officialism, but are at the bot
tom, as a rule. While the shining little
political apples of small size are on top.
Brietiess young lawyers are in the legis-
ture, while many third-rate men go up
to Washington to draw 81, 500 annually
of the peoples money and send out gar
den seed, and from the number of little
apples on top the old national wagon
must be humping over very rough,
rocky road
While am not inclined to be too crit
ical or harsh in judgment, yet we seem
to live in an age of small men in public
life, while our men of brain and charac-
ter are left at home. Think of the days
of Clay, Calhoun, Webster and Hayne,
and then think of these days of the rise
and rule of the mere intellectual pig
mics i1the United States Senate, and
no one (Ah for moment doubt that
the Senatorial wagon is doing some aw-
full jolting, for the top apples are decid-
edly small and hardly western or
southern big apple shows up, while the
northern apples are no longer like Sum-
ner, Blaine and Conklin. If the peo-
pie love little apples it is all right, but
it would at least look better to go down
to the bottom and dig up few big ones
iust for looks, if nothing else. Shades
