The provisional administrative COM
mittee to which the administration OF
the island was intrusted when the
Cretan cabinet resigned Sunday, took
the oath of allegiance to the king and

An Inventive Genius

There is a student in the University
of Pennsylvania whose inventive gen
ius, if directed in the right direction,
Is likely to bring him fame in after life.
This youth was called before one of
the professors, charged with being alb
sent from more than the permitted
number of classes. After lecturing him
thoroughly and telling him the penal
ties that would have to be imposed, the
professor asked the youth if he had
any excuses to offer for his continued
absences. This hour comes from 8 to
TO-" said the youth, land I am so pecu-
liarly constituted that I can never get
up for 8 o'clock hour" THAT is no
excuse replied the professor indig-
nantly. why don't you get an alarm
clock? II did try that" answered the
student, "but it was no USE Inever
could hear the alarm go off. have a
weak heart and as a result am forced
to sleep oil the time on my right side,
and I am totally deaf in my left ear"
The professo knew full we'll that this
statement was not confined to the strict
truth, yet he thought one who could
invent such q tale was deserving of
better things and decided to give him
another chance.-Philadelphia Record.

BUILDS UP PRIVILEGED CLASS

A veteran Washington correspond
cnt, summing up salient features of the
change in White House ADMINISTRATION,
says that the Taft REGIME will he dis
tipguishcd by new era of bath tubs
and good clothes"
The meaning behind this writer's
righteousness is that class distinctions
are to Inc more sharply drawn. If
America lacks real aristocracy now
it is to have four-year privilege of
trying earnestly to build one And, as
every tyro knows, the only foundation
for so-called aristocracy in republic
like this is the possession of wealth.
Trace history as far back you like
and you will find the beginnings of
aristocracy founded on property hold
ings. 1t might be stolen land or it
might be money wrung from serfs-no
matter. Wealth created a privileged
class. And the privileged class lorded
it over the common people.
We Americans have always boosted
freedom from this sharplydrawn dis.
tinction between the classes and the
masses. Theoretically we are right.
Does not this glorious republic give
equality of opportunity? Do we not
guarantee freedom from aristocratic tax
gatherers?
That is theory. In practice we are
building up privileged claes through
robber tariff. We allow artificial
monopolies to close up normal channels
of production and thus destroy oppor-
tunity. And we allow monopolists to
not only kill competition but to make
consumers pay outrageous prices for
life's necessities.
And the result: A class of idle rich
the members OF which fancy themselves
aristocrats. Money comes so easily
that new extravagances are invented
that are not only useless to society, but
harmful to individuals. The com.
munity's moral tone is distinctly lower.
ed by the idlcness and frivolities of
these social parasites They neither
toll nor spin and they show a bad ex-
ample to the rising generation.
A robber tariff is directly responsible
formost of the prodigious accommodations
OF wealth that are spawning feeble
'mltators of all old world aristocracy.
With Il tariff scientifically adjusted to
give protection only where it is
necessary, or with tariff for revenue
simply, these swollen fortunes would
he much fewer. And those that already
exist would be whitfield down by one
generation of spendthrifts. Exchange

Law On Patented Claims Made Clear


Some weeks ago dispatch was sent
out from Salt Lake that had the APP
pearance of bulletin from the for
estry Office ut Ogden and was widely
copied in this state. This dispatch re-
ferred to Section Al of the mining reg
ulations adopted by the U. s. Com:
missioner of Land Office and seems to
have been an entirely erroneous state
ment of the meaning of the paragraph.
The Appeal is indebted to Receiver
Earl w. fremont of the Nevada Federal
Land Office for the following communi-
cation to him in regard to that dispatch
which communication is self explana-
tory:
Registers and Receivers, U. S. Land
Officers. -Sirs: The attention of this
Department has been called to the last
clause of paragraph 41 of the mining
regulations, approved March g 1909
which provides as follows:
THE vein or lode must be fully de-
scribed the description to include a
statement as to the kind and character
of mineral, the extent thereof, whether
ore has been extracted and of what
amount and value and such facts as
will support the applicants allegation
that the claim contains valuable
mineral deposit"
1t seems that the expression 1.-The ex-
tent thereof is being construed as
meaning that the applicant must af-
Tentatively show by proof of explora-
ton that the vein exists in fact through
out the whole length of the claim This
construction of the paragraph is erro-
neous. BY the words quoted it was in
tended to require the claimant to show
the existence of Il vein III such work
ings as he relied on to establish dis
covery. By the extent of the vein was
meant its size and quality as disclosed
That being done, the presumption
exists that the vein extends on its
strike Throughout the whole length of
the claim as located.
The sole purpose of that part of
paragraph II quoted was to enable the
land department to know so far as the
applicant can reasonably show the de-
finite facts upon which the right to the
patent is predicted so as to determine
whether valuable mineral deposit
exists in the land claimed.
Very respectfully,
FRED DEENETrr, Commissioner.
