Physical Valuation of Railroads.

From the New York Tribune
 It is enlightening in regard to the att tude with which the currency question approached, to observe that an infiuenti; group proposed to complicate so vital matter with so disputatious a topic as tl' physical valuation of railroads. The sooi CT Congress learns to treat the currenc by itself and not as one to be involve with measures adapted to improve th market for railroad bonds or to the carry ing out of separate projects, the better will be for the country. In no other ns tion would currency reform the entangle with an utterly unrelated economic rG form of uncertain value.

MISSOURI REPUBLICANS

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Feb. 27-Hundreds
of leading republicans of Missouri, in
GLIDING a majority of the 1000 de:e-
gates, have arrived in the city to at
tend the state convention, which will
meet tomorrow to select the delegates
at-large to the republican national
convention at Chicago. The national
leaders and campaign managers are
inclined to attach much Importance
to the Missouri convention this year.
The republican convention OF Mis-
souri, is the first to be held, with the
exception of the recent split affair in
Florida. Missouri was the first sta:e
to take up the Taft candidacy, and It
has been regarded all along as one of
the chief stroDgholds of the secretary
! of war. The state central committee,
strongly dominated by Taft sentiment,
fixed an unusually early date for the
convention with view, it is said, of
putting one state solidly in the field
| for Taft at as early a date as the
Fairbanks boomers in Indiana could
get to work
1t has been accepted as a foregone
conclusion all along that the delegates
at-large from Missouri are certain to
] be sent to Chicago instructed for Taft.
Within the past week or two there
has been Some quiet work in the in
terest of Hughes and Cannon. This
has stirred things up a bit, but as
nearly all of the county conventions
adopted resolutions indorsing Taft
there is little doubt-but that the sec
rotary of war will be able to count
upon the solid support Of Missouri
next June
Senator William Warner and Attor-
ney General Hadley viii be two OF the
four delegates-at-large The other
two have not yet been fully agreed
upon. The convention will probably
indorse General Hadley for the guber-
Material nomination.
! In addition to selecting the dele
gates-at-large and naming presidential
electors, the convention win be called
upon to choose a national committee
man to succeed Thomas J. Atkins.
Thomas K. Niedringhaus, chairman
of the state committee. is most prom
inently mentioned as the successor of
Mr. Atkins.

douglas Observation-Disclosures
Walter Douglas and others, who
talked about mining and the future a
the mining industry in this section at
the Douglas dollar dinner, this week,
sounded the keynote of the future as
well as telling of the cause of the
wonderful prosperity of Cochise coun-
ty during the past half dozen years.
Mr.. Douglas stated that since the year
1900 the Copper Queen Consolidated
Mining company had paid out in
wages alone in Bisbee and Douglas
more than s17,Oo0.oOO and that this
amount did not include the cost OF
construction during that period. Other
speakers pointel to the fact that what
had been done in the way Of mining
in the Warren district. in the Cananea
district and at Nacozari would be du-
plicated in other districts in this sec.
ton of the mining world during the
next ten years. OF the reasonable
ness of his prediction all know who
have visited the many rich districts
where development has as yet only
started. What Douglas and Bisbee
need to bring about greater activity
in the mining industry is to make
known to the outside world what has
been accomplished in the past and
the opportunities here for further in
vestments in development
