NO TRAINING NECESSARY.

Americans Have Learned Presidents
Mako Good without 1t.
Until Jackson's era in Washington
this country selected Presidents who In
every case had had large personal ex-
perience In national affairs, says the
Springfield Republican. Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and
John Adams were statesmen Of truly
tational proportions when chosen to the
office Of chief magistrate. All but
Washington and Madison had even dip
lomattc experience In Europe before
gaining the presidency.
With Jackson an entirely new type
Of executive began to appear. Jackson
came straight from the heart Of democ-
racy. He represented the determine
ton Of the masses to rule, and 1t mat
tered little to the people whether or not
he had been trained for high executive
station by adequate experience In the
legislative, administrative or diplomatic
services Of the government.
The tremendous popular success Of
the two Jackson administration pro-
foundry Influenced American politics.
Parties desiring to win elections no
longer placed 50 much emphasis upon
long preliminary training in federal At
fairs in selecting presidential candi-
dates.
The Wings, trying to repeat the Dem
ocratic success with jackson, nominal
ed Gen. Harrison in 1910 and Gen.
Taylor in 1S48, and both were elected,
although neither was Jackson's equal
in natural personal power as a leader
Of men. The Wings tried the "hero''
once more with Gen. Scott and failed.
Then came tine Lincoln nomination
by the Republicans in 1860, and Lin
coins destiny has been 80 extraordi-
nary that the American people have
been confirmed, II anything, in their
belief that the man Of long preliminary
service in national business Is not al
ways the necessary choice for the presi
dency.

MINES AND MINING.

Eighteen black diamonds and 60 dia-
mond chips, the lot valued at about
$4,000, were stolen by thieves who
entered the workshop of the Diamond
Drill company at the Centre Star
mine, Rossland, B. c., early Sunday
morning. The diamonds are used in
drilling. No clue has been had. The
stones were owned by Fred Stone and
Mr.. knight, both Spokane men, who
have been notified.
A strike, the Importance of which
can scarcely be overestimated, has
been made in the Kendall mine in
Montana. Conservative reports about
the new find, which was made at a
depth of 400 feet below the former
lowest workings, indicate that it places
at the company's disposal ore enough
to pay as much in dividends as has
already been disbursed to the stock
holders, and that is about $1,250,O00.
The following is the shipment from
Boundary, B. c., mines for the last
week: Cranky, 2O,952 tons; Mother
Lode, 1856 tons; Orc Donoro, 1886
tons; making total of ore shipments
from Boundary mines this year of
537,594 tons.
The bodies of the three men, Ru.
dolph, Meath and Skohk, who were
caught by the bump in No. 2 mine at
Coal Creek, near Fernie, B. c., were
found. They were pinned to the roof
of the mine by the upheaval OF the
floor. Death must have been instanta
neous.
A body of good shipping ore about
three feet in width has been cut into
on the Caledonia property, located
near Wardner, Idaho, according to
report.
Fine galena ore of exceptional rich
ness has been encountered in the Full
Moon property, located near Burke

LONDON
IN TUMULT
.SUFFRAGETTES FROM
PROVINCESMET THERE
FOR SEVERAL HOURS THE CEN.
TER OF THE CITY Is
THEIRS.

London, June 22.-Favored by beau
tiful weather and again displaying I'M
expected genius for organization, the
demonstration in Hyde
Park Sunday was an unparalleled sue
cess. Encouraged by previous sue
-cesses the suffragettes planned today's
demonstration as climax of the
years fight for woman suffrage. 1t is
hardly too much to say that never be-
fore was such demonstration seen in
London.
Fully half million people assem-
bled in and around Hyde park as
active or passive participants in the
great meeting, while for two or three
hours in the middle of the day the
whole center of the city was in fer
ment Various professions appeared,
each about mile long, and the routes
through which these passed were
+densely crowded with spectators.
The suffragists from ''the provinces"
were met at the various railroad sta
tons by delegations from the London
organizations and, forming into line,
marched from different points of the
compass to Hyde park.
After arriving there the leaders and
speakers of the various sections had
literally to fight their way to- the plat
form. Probably there were about 20
speakers in all, and these harangued
the masses on the rights of women to
vote and the necessity Of forcing par
Lament to adopt resolution on the
question. These women's demands are
far more attractive from spectacular
point of view than those held by men
Almost all of the suffragists wore
white dresses with their collars, green
white and purple, inscribed vote fol-
women" and the scene as viewed from
the platform was quite feast OF color
There was much good-humored chaff
ing and the speeches were practically
inaudible.
The attitude of the onlookers was
one of amused tolerance. Ambulances
were kept busy dealing with cases o.
fainting and minor injuries, owing tt
the great pressure of the crowds, bu
no serious accidents occurred.
Considerable scuffling and rowdyisn
occurred around the platform occupied
by Mrs. Parkhurst, the leader of thu
suffragettes, and it finally became 81
serious as to need reinforcements o
police. Thirty persons were treated tt
slight injuries as a result of thu
crowding and filling in this neighbor
hood Similar scenes were enacted
around Mrs. Marteps platform, ant
owing to the general noisy interrur
lions few of the speakers were able II
get hearing.

that he would probably remain blind
for the remainder of his life. The
hospital surgeons say that Cantillon's
