POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The Springdale news., 1909-10-08

Notwithstanding the fact that it has been published for months that subscriptions to The News are all ways payable in advance and that all papers are discontinued al the expiration of time paid for. there are some who do not yet seem to understand it On or about the first of each month our mailing list is overhauled and the name of ey- cry subscriber not paid in advance is removed For instance, the list was revised October l and eyry subscriber whose time expired dur ing the month of September was dropped, whether it was September or September 25 The list will be revised again October 20 and if your subscription expired October or will expire October 29, your name will be dropped unless you renew. In this way some subscrib- CTS will receive three or four pa pers after the expiration of their subscription, while others will be dropped on the date of expiration. II requires considerable time to go oyer the list, and we have adopted this plan rather than go over il ev- cry week. So if you happen to re- eeige q paper or two after your subscription expires don't think we are endeavoring to push the paper on you against your wishes, for it will certainly be discontinued as soon as We get around to it. The date on which every subscription expires is printed either on the pa per or on the wrapper, and if you wish to have the paper continued watch this date and send in your remittance before that time. Fail ure to do this is always take as an indication that you do not want the paper and it is therefore dis continued.

A GROOM'S PROMISES.

A recent news item from New York
says:
A woman married a man in Mont
clair yesterday, and she thinks she is
going to keep him at home. Justice
of the Peace Williams married the
couple. He would not give names,
but gave out the following document
that the man had to sign before the
ceremony was performed:
Il solemnly promise before the
Justice of the peace to give to my
wife my pay envelope, unopened,
every Saturday night; be at home
every night by . o'cock unless my
wife is out with me: never to go to
parties without her and never to
dance with anybody else without her
permission.
Il promise to be kind always to
her mother; never to join any lodge
that does not admit women; never to
smoke more than three cigars on a
week day, and not more than five on
Sunday; never to smoke cigarettes at
all, and never to use profane langu-
age; to beat the carpets every spring
without grumbling; to do up my own
laundry package each week; never to
drink intoxicating liquor, except at
the annual spring housekeeping, and
never 10 keep a dog.

"a Il
ment and chagrin at this phenomenon
so pathetic. Our men have a help
less inability to see themselves. Nor
is the responsibility of the mother
lost sight of, for the foreign sutor be-
gins with her, as he does in Europe.
She is the outer ciadel which must
first succumb TO his studied cham.
This outer citadel is carried with
astonishing ease, as he quickly dis
covers, and for three reasons. The
mother is easily dazzled; her social
foundations do not go down deep in
the class to which she almost invari-
ably belongs;' her husband has made
every dollar of the lure of those mil
lions without which there would not
be this problem to solve, Second, the
woman who see what q given man
really is who estimates him at all
Justly. who begin even to understand
mems social standards either in this
country or Europe, are rare indeed.
The American mother is clearly out
of her depth at the start, as unit as
a child to counsel her daughter. She
is not equipped for it. 1t is not her
work. In the third place. that sub
tile relationship of sex which EurOp-
can men of any age always have the
art of establishing with quick
courtesy towards woman, their habit
of listening absorbedly when a
woman speaks-all this is absolutely
new to the American mother that she
becomes hypnotized by it and can no
longer distinguish truth falsity, or a
mere national point of etiquette ten
dernees of feeling.

WARNINGS OF TWO MURDERS.

The murders that have come 10
light recently have aroused wide
spread interest because of elements
of mystery in both cases. But both
cases have significance which
would not be impaired in the least
II there were no hunt for the mur-
derer, and s,tipide OF the suspect 10

We are dealing in eithere ease with
I woman who hos lost her character,
and in one case the young woman
was probably not conscious of expos
ing herself to especial danger. But
chat is only because persons more
experienced in life do not seem to
have given her the warnings which
The conditions ought to have sug-
gested to them. The association of
Elsie Sigel with two or more Chinese
men was not essentially improper,
but it was wholly outside of the con-
ventionalities and for that very rea-
son was exposed to especial danger.
There is a notion alarmingly COM

mon among women that anything out
side of the conventional rules gov
erning the relations of men and wom-
ell is romantic, and romantic has a
very fascinating sound. The word
has come to be used of almost any,
thing irregular or unusual; but
while it has lost most of its mean
ing, it has lost none of It's danger
Gus charm.
In the other case the elements of
danger We're even more glaring, but
they were disregarded for the fun
there was in it. Mrs. Woodill was in
Maryland: her husband was in Cali
fornia. Among the company she was
with was man whose wife was in
New York According to Eastmann' S
account there were other persons

of the conventionalities which are
the result of very much experience
by human society and which can
never be disregarded without grave
danger. Besides men and women
free from the conventional restraints
OF society, there was plenty of wine.
Mrs. Woodill was murdered. East
mann was pursued and killed him
self to avoid capture. That is
tolerable evidence of his guilt. but
the letter found on his body says one
of the other women did it with a
wine bottle 1t matters little who did
it; it matters little which Chinese
man killed Miss Elsie Sigel. Both
cases are full of warnings to young
men and young women who go out

The attempt of Germany to 'huild
Up great navy is by far the most
serious menace to the peace of the
world which has occurred in recent
5ears. England has no great stand

manufacturing resources Germany
could soon build up navy TO equal

attempt. But should she seriously
undertake such program it would

MILLIONS IN DIVIDENDS.

To pay dividends aggregating the
large total of $25,609,657 in five
months of 1909, despite continued
low metal prices, is the record
achievement of so American mines
and metallurgical works. From re-
ports made to the Mining World it is
learned that these 80 corporations
have distributed in dividends since
their Incorporation the fabulous sum
of over half a billion dollars,-to be
exact s520,429,513. This has been
done on an outstanding capitalization
of s5O5, ,976, ,76S, a return equivalent
10 103 per cent. Surely this is a
splendid argument in favor of in
vestment in legitimate mining and
metallurgical enterprises.
In addition to the above, s securi-
ties holding corporations paid during
the five first months of 1909 the sum
of S5,SS6,145. To date these COR
turn of 20 per cent on the issued
capitalization of $311,271,725.
OF the so mines and metallurgical
works paying dividends in 1909, Sc
are gold. silver and lead properties,
and they distributed to shareholders
S10.926,71S. Since incorporation
these properties paid out $132,073,-
343, a return equivalent to 73 per
cent on the outstanding $3.50, ,493,-
523 shares capital.
Few, indeed, of the more impor-
tant industries have suffered from
the business depression more than
copper producers, yet 16 American
companies were able to pay dividends
in the first five months of the year,
S7,14S,3S7. Since incorporation
these companies have to their credit
as dividend payments the enormous
sum of $2SS,599,144, return on
their outstanding capital of $9S,S31,-
S95 or 2S7 per cent.
The leader of the gold mining
companies paying dividends this year
is Goldfield Con. with $1,059,741 to
its credit. Tonopah, another Ne
vada property, is second with $60O,-
900 and $4,25O,0O0 since organiza-
tion. Camp Bird, Colorado, ranks
third with $59S,O00 for the year and
S5,59O,35O since organization. Home
stake, while only ranking fourth for
the year, has to its credit to date
SIS, ,41S,590.
Among the copper three properties
have paid in excess of million;
Anaconda, $1,20O,000 for the year
and since incorporation $4,000, 600;
Arizona, second, with $1,1S9.915 and
since Incorporation, $13,57O,257;
United Verde, third, with $1,125,0O
for the year and $22,670,00O to date.
Anaconda with an issued capitaliza-
ton of $5O,000.000 has returned its
shareholders "a per cent since in
corporation. Arizona with an issued
pitalization of $3,6S7,520 has
yielded a profit equivalent to 36S per
cent. while United Verde, with 49,
10000 issued share capital, has
yielded a profit equivalent to 75o per
cent. Calumet G Hecla, while only
| fifth on the list with 100000 for
the year has paid to date sos, $780,
900 or an equivalent of 435S per
cent on it's $2,50O,000 share capital.
Boston & Montana, fourth on the list
with 100000 has to its credit since
organization $59,S75,572, return
equal to 1881 per cent on it's $2,-
500,000 shares capital.
