The United States is, indeed, Mrs

immoral The French managers re-

interest is so slender that it would not
hold French playgOers.
This country will surely have none OF

il is not particularly interesting. The
book cannot by the most thoughtless
or the most imaginative be called lit

though evanescent, popularity it at

lkIORK OF THE MINER.

In a recent sermon Dr.. Mcintyre pas
tor of the Hyde Park (Chicagoj Meth
odist church. preached on the acqui-
sition of wealth. Incidentally he paid a
tribute to the man who digs from the
hills their stores OF precious metals,
Among other things, Mr. Mcintyre
said:
4 admire the miners wealth. 1t is
clean. There is neither blood nor tears
on it. 1t is acquired away from the
scheming and cut-throat competition
that characterizes ordinary ventures
where the success of one man often
means the downfall of some other man,
or perhaps number Of men. Nobody
has been pinched, nobody has been
wronged. The miner who digs a for
tune out of the ground has the salts
faction of knowing that he has not
robbed a soul, even though he becomes
a thousand times a millionaire.
"The man who makes fortune on
the board of trade, or stock exchange,
or in building up a gigantic business,
adds nothing TO the worlds store OF
available wealth. The world, in other
words, is no richer because he is rich
er; he is richer because some other is
poorer.
The miner. on the other hand,
whether he digs out $40 or 100000, adds
that much to the worlds wealth.
AS 1 look at the matter, there
are few producers of wealth. =
The only man comparable with the
miner is the farmer. He gets what he
has direct from nature, but he pro-
duces perishable wealth. While he
meets a want, his contribution to the
worlds wealth, therefore, is not a per-
manent one like the miners.

wealth producers of our country. and

ldishonor, it needs no apology to emu

AN UNCERTAIN DEACON.
(Philadelphia LEDGER

Speaking of the perversity of coun-
try "squires," State Senator John S.
Fisher. chairman of the Pennsylvania
capitol investigation commission, told
this story recently;
We have one old codger out in In
diana county who fears neither lawyer
nor court. Not long ago Dick Wilson
had a case before the squire, and,
knowing his man. he went to the Office
fortified with a dozen or more supreme
court decisions.
Wilson argued his case. cited several
opinions. and finally remarked: Squire,
have here some decisions by the SUI
preme court of Pennsylvania, which l
shall read
Wilson finished one decision when
the justice interrupted saying:
. Mr.. Wilson, / reckon you've read
enough. Those supreme court decisions
are all right so far as they go, but If
the supreme court has not already re-
versed itself / have no doubt that IL
will do so i'm the near future. Judg-
ment is. therefore. given against your
client. "

and formerly a prominent Salt Lake
business man, a folder showing some

be used, the story of the rebuilding

being rapidly rebuilt on a much more
/ impressive scale than was the old city.
In every direction great skyscrapers
are being erected. The scars of the dis

progressing, before the stranger in San

disaster.
/ One page of the folder is devoted to
business statistics. They show that the

OLDEST PAPER TO SUSPEND

New York SUM-

1t is reported from China that the
Oldest newspaper in the world. the Pc

LEGATION. The first number appeared
in oil A. D., and since 1851. more than
century before the discovery of
America. it has appeared regularly.
The Pekin Gazette has published a
daily budget of the imperial court
news and has been a repository of
edicts from the throne, memorials
from provincial governors and reports
from Chinese officials. 1t would be
wrong to infer that its contents were
always dry. Frequently the Gazette
has contained news of great interest
to the world and information illumi-
mating one phase or another of Chinese
character or the governmental regime.
Perhaps we read one day that not
only the soldier who had stolen thirty
boxes of bullets had been severely
punished, but the officer whose duty
it was to inspect the stores and see
that they were intact was condemned
to eighty blows and dismissed from
the service. This showed the grave
responsibility imposed upon Chinese
officials.
The files of the venerable paper are
among the curiOsities of TYPOGRAPHY
During a part of the eighteenth GEN.
fury it was printed in the imperial
palace from movable copper type. and
in the last eighty years from movable
type carved out of wood.
The Chinese government will now
supplement the publication by the
Government Gazette, which will be
much larger and conducted along more
modern lines. 1t will be the official
government organ. The disappearance
of the Pekin Gazette is one of the
signs of the times illustrating the
mighty changes that are coming to
pass in China.

MOST UNIQUE LAWYER.
Is Farmer Who Prosecutes Damage
Suits Free to Get Revenge.

(Omaha Cor. Minneapolis JournaL)
Out in Broken Bow, New. lives the
most unique lawyer in the United
States-Jesse Candy by name. Candy
only takes one class of litigation-a
claim against a railroad. preferably
the Burlington railroad. Twenty years
ago the Burlington made Candy an
CRY. At that time Candy was a
wealthy farmer and rancher
Candy owned a large section of the
country i'm western Nebraka. The Bur-
linston railroad wanted right of way
through the land, and offered to pur-
chase it. Candy donated the land on
condition that he should have pass
over the division as long as he lived.
The railroad furnished the pass for
several years. Then came a change
of management and Gandy's pass was
cut off. There was nothing to show
for it, and in vain Candy sought re-
dress. He took his case to several
lawyers. but found that each of them
was retained by the railroad and none
would take his case.
III study law and fight my own
case said Candy, and he started
reading Blackstone. In time he was
admitted to the bar His first an
nouncement read: Il will take all
righteous cases against a railroad.
and ] will guarantee to win. If l lose
your case I viii pay the costs. If l
win your case YOU pay me a part of
the costs.
For ten years Candy has been busy
fighting the railroads. and especially
the Burlington. He won't take a case
unless he is convinced the plaintiff has
a good chance of winning. and he 0ays
all the costs, just as his advertisement
reads. Usually he refuses to accept
any fee for his services. He is indie
uendently wealthy and simply fights
because he loves il and also to get
even" with railroad for dirt" done
him. 1t makes no difference whether
or not he gets anything out of the
case just so he can make the railroad
pay.
Candy also bears the reputation of
being the only man who ever rode a
wild buffalo bull This he did on
wager staying on the animals back
for five minutes. The buffalo was las
sooed. and after Candy had attained
a firm seat. the ropes we're cut and the
big bull started off across the prairie,
with Candy on its back. Candy won
the bet but he was in bed a week
from the shock.

late his example. or assist him in his
efforts"
The beautiful feature of this tribute is
that every word of it is true, every
word is thoroughly deserved. People,
even in this section of the country.
where the mining industry is the chief
source of our prosperity, are apt to
forget the debt we owe to the miner.
His wealth, as Dr. Mcintyre says, is
true and honest. II enriches not only
the man who produces it, but the en-
tire community. The man who digs
out the gold and silver and copper and
lead contributes definitely. tangibly, to
the permanent store of the national
wealth.
And it should be remembered, too,
that the producer takes his life in his
hands every day he works. For, every
hour spent underground, even in what
Is considered the safest of mining ter
ritory, is an hour of risk The miner
never knows when the roof of the tun-
mel or drift, bringing with it thou
sands of tons of rock, may crash down
upon him and crush out his life. He
never knows when the walls of the
shaft may close over his head; he new
er knows when he goes TO his work in
the morning that he will return from it
after his hours of labor are ended.
But he goes on about it uncomplain-
ingIy, the last of men to count himself
a hero in the strife" the last to imag-
inc that he is doing anything out OF
the ordinary. We hasten to endorse
DR.. McIntyre's tribute. 1t should have
the widest possible publicity.

place:
1.-THE second annual Art Exhibit
opened at the public school building

The exhibit will he open until 4:3O

"There is large collection of draw
ings and paintings on exhibition that
were made by the students of the
high school under the direction of
Miss Mabel Monroe, the instructor in
art. This work was exceptionally
good and great deal has been accom-,

Miss Monroe's fteaching at that
place has rroven highly satisfactory
and she returns there for another year.
