The Kansas Msil and Breeze is aston
ished that the church people Of the coun-
try supported man like Joe Cannon dur
ing all these years, in the high public pos
itlon which he is disgracing, in view Of
the fact that he is as profane as a man
can be. 1t has ever been thus. The
more wicked a man IS, the more popular
he becomes, politically. 1t hasn't been
very long since an unbeliever was elect
ed to the presidency largely by professed
Christian voters. The trouble is that
there is too much partisan idolatry, both
in and out Of the church.

The tax figures this year simply exceed
anything that ever was expected. The
state will have to raise about 100000
more than it did last year. 1t also receiv-
ed about $464,000 from the federal gov
eminent. The appropriations are entirely
too high and there seems to be too many
political hangers on, getting their political
debts paid by the state. Then besides,
there are whole lot Of appropriations
that could have been cut down. Naturally
the administration comes in for a whole
lot Of censure and well it should, for tax
es are entirely too high. The increase Of
taxes during the past few republican ad-
miniStrations has been enormous and nei-
ther faction has much room to talk.

Whether law is constitutional or un-
constitutional does not depend so much
on the law as it does on the man who
sits in judgment over it. Courts are just

their prejudices and their selfish instincts

BIBLE AUTHORITY AND

Sufficient unto the day is the evil
people with the bug-a-boo conserva-

into everyone the moment the larder
is lean of essentials. The advocates
would hardly wish that ban be put
on gold production, and would they
not be glad could silver be output to
the limit or any other Of the metals
They are just as liable to run out
as any other thing Of import. OF
course it is destruction Of something
hard to replace. Animals have become
extinct through annihilation, it is
true. The conservation might aptly be
applied to coal and wood and to all
appearances would seem like a verit-
able catalcism were the world depriv-
ed of these now or soon.
"But the Lord tempers the wind to
the shorn lamb" Deprived of that
which seems so essential now, other
agencies will be sure to arise to take
their place. Then the advocates seem
to forget the future generation. II

SILVER, A BY-PRoDUcT!

1t was a bad year for silver, says
report emanating from the United
States Geological Survey. The silver
mining industry is less satisfying be.
cause of the low price prevailing for
silver, lead, copper and zinc. Low
grade silver properties were, in con.
sequence, almost eliminated and mos.
Of the silver contents being derived
as by-product of gold and other
metallic contents of ores. Silver as
a by-product being indeed startling
in its significance. The white metal
having fallen SO low the wonder is
that other and newer devices for its
utilization are not made. "Silver-
ware" is pretty much as formerly
mere plate, while pewter, an old-time
fad is being revived, the constituents
of which are composed of the cheap
er metals. Then alluminum-ware has
made a pretty fair bid for the place
held by tin-ware. Thus has silver
been kept we'll down in a position
where miners cannot expect to aid
in its rehabilitation. The assistance
silver could receive, it would seem,
is to share with gold the responsible
lity Of all monetary consideration.
Gilpin observer., 1910-01-06
SHOULD BE MORE LENIENT.

The largest annual output of gold
was accredited to 1909. This section
helped some-considerably probably
half million dollars worth. That
sounds good, but it can be improved,
and If signs do not fail, old Gilpin
will startle them all with rich finds
this year. The mines have the devel-
opment. A leaser need only begin on
vein. Kind fortune will do the rest
for him. Why hesitate? There are
properties to be had with almost
everything intact. Shaft houses,
boilers, engines, hoists-all essentials
to starting UP within few days
after taking possession. Such induce
ments are not offered everywhere.
Only one thing operates against ac-
quiring this kind of mining property.
A mine lying idle for years has covet-
Gus eyes cast upon 1t. 1t should be

Much Is being said concerning the

Of the government. It Is "surplus,"
rather. The dear public Is made to

The department Is money maker
and the money flows Into the treas

This money does not seem to be
credited to the department. It Is like
the unearned "increment" Of Henry
George. Now an appropriation is
made by the government and It is
not considered whether the postofflce
department made a cent today, yes

selling raisins as horse feed.A few
