The kaiser knows his subject, and his

strong and patriotic people. Germany's
power is in the loyalty and devotion OF
her inha bitants to the fatherland. They

She has no such mixed population as we
have. but if there are American-born, or
English-born, or Russian-born, or Italian
born men who reside within her borders
and are German subjects, profting by the
protection of her laws, they owe her every
thing. She should be first, and the rest
nowhere in their affections and offerings.

| says:
Now that the election is over and the

not been cheerful. In the inauguration
of Gov. Pattison the inclemency OF the
weather is believed to have fastened his
death. At the Inauguration of Gov. Her
rick there great discomfort. in which
many people were seized with pneumonia
and influenza and a great many deaths
have been traced to the exposure.
March 4 nearly always disappoints the
hopes of those who desire to have fine
pageant. Some years the cold Is so in
tense and the weather so unpropitious that
all plans are spoiled Next year there
will be a great greeting to President
elect Taft, if the weather should permit.
In view of the experiences of the past
it would be supposed that the inauguration
day for both state and nation would be
promptly changed. but all efforts in that
direction have been defeated"
1t is not quite correct to say that efforts
have been defeated" Rather have the
efforts been unavailing. There has been
no active antagonism to the project. This
has been one of the cases where every
body is willing but nobody will make the
final move. There is undoubtedly a ma
jority sentiment in the House and Senate
in favor of the change. and indeed the
Senate has more than once adopted the
joint resolution looking to this amend
ment. The trouble has been that the
House has never appeared to regard the
subject of sufficient Importance to war
rant its consideration. Yet Congress has
lost some of its valued members through
exposure on the 4th of March at in
auguration time. There is not member
of the two houses soon to meet who will
not run a risk from the raw winds that
sometimes mark the early days of March
in this city.
1t is too late to try for change of the
inauguration in 1909, but it is none too
early to move for a more clement season
for inaugurating the President-elect in
1918. This matter has been postponed
from year to year SO long as something
that can be taken up any time that 1t
has now become an urgent item demand
ing immediate consideration.

Root.

AS Mr. Root wants the New York SEN
atorship. he should have it without a
scramble. Admirably equipped for the
Office in every way, he would become a
commanding figure in the Senate, where
his party has been weakened by the re-
tirement Of Mr.. Spooner. and will be fur
ther weakened should Mr.. Foraker fail
of reelection. In him, too, the new adj
ministration would have a champion quail
flied to speak for it, not only from party
sympathy, but from personal knowledge
of the things out of which it has grown
and will seek to continue. Taft in the
White House and Root in the Senate
would make strong combination. Mr..
Woodruff's ambition is praiseworthy, but
his talents would show better in another
field

Forced to Speak German in Public.
 Berlin, April 4-The reichstag to- day decided by a vote of 300 to 179 to adopt section ! of the governments Associations bill. The debate attract ed the largest gathering of members represented in years. Three declined to vote. The section enacts that the German language is compulsory in all public meetings in every part of the empire, except in case of international congresses or election meetings. Fur ther exceptions will be permitted dur ing the next twenty years after the promulgation of the law for those dis tricts where 60 per cent of the inhabi- tants speak language other than Ger man, but in these cases the authorities must be notified that a meeting is about to occur and also what language is to be spoken, so as to allow con- petent public reporter to be present. When the result of the division was announced, scene of widest tumult occurred, the house separating in greatest excitement. The result of the houses action has been awaited with intense interest owing to the fact that it affects 4,5OO,OOO non-Germans con- prising the Poles in the eastern prov inces, and Danes in the north, the French in Alsace and Lorraine, in ad- dition to the less important races not speaking German. the Wends, Maur- ins, Lithuanians and Czecs.

Has Good Tin Proposition.

Deadwood, $. D., April 3.-Before E. c. Johnson, general manager of the Gertie Tin Mining company, left for Hill City, he stated that his property would undoubtedly be in operation within 30 days. He has been in the Northern Hills securing certain pieces of machinery that were necessary to the completion of the repairs to the plant, and it will require but little ad- ditional work to have the mine and mill in shape for run.
 It is his intention to start milling the dump at the mine,' which contains several thousand tons of ore that will assay better than one per cent tin. While this is being run, the mine will be pumped out and gotten in condi- tion, and by the time the dump is ex- hausted, the lodges on the lower levels will be ready to furnish material for steady operation. The ledges in the mine will run from one to two per cent tin, and under present conditions and prices, can be proftably worked.
 The mill is equipped with an "Ad- vance" pulverizer of Downie- Wright make. It is of the slow speed variety, and will reduce from 60 to 70 tons of rock day. There is also in the plant, which is located in the old Harney Peak company mill building, two con- centrating tables and shelter, which is capable of reducing the entire pro- duct of the plant. Thus the company is fully equipped for all operations from the mining of the ore to the turning out of the metallic tin, in pigs.
 It should be born in mind that at the time the English company put its money into the Harney Peak company ground, tin was selling for 12 cents a pound, and that at present it is quoted at about % cents. Last year the total tin production of the world was ap- proximately 100000 tons, of which 40,- 900 tons were used in this country, and every pound of this imported from for eign countries. The Gertie mine has already shown its ability to produce the metal, and during the time that Mir. Johnson prosecuted his last work there, turning out about one ton of tin, which was of the very highest grade, and purer than the imported metal. The Burlington railroad pur- chased the metal then turned out, and are anxious to become steady custom CTS whenever the plant is able to fur nish them with what they require. The price of tin is at present some- what lower than the normal of recent years, as the entire worlds production of last year sold at an average of 30 cents a pound. The metal took a slight slump in sympathy with copper, and has not fully regained the place which the market experts expect it to attain.

TAFT OR BRYAN

respect TO the great reform issues now

that Bryan was the father and original
enuncistor of those principles of gov

Tree and energy with which he has
snught to carry them out.
