mates all fear Of an inferior class of

Nature is often beautiful he said
one evening. as we Walked I'm the park.
But tonight how hideous she is
Here Sloan shuddered.
But, my dear Sloan, I objected,

shook his head.

President Taft is closing the second
Congressional session of his term
with much greater credit than at one
time expected, comments Henry
Clews. Inadvertently the president
some time ago referred TO the new
tariff as the best ever" an opinion
not shared by many of his friends.
What he no doubt really meant was
that the new tariff was the best that
could be secured at that time. The
temporary and limited loss of popu-
larity produced by this misconception
has already been more than recovered
by the presidents recent legislative
successes. The passage Of the tariff
BILL the railroad bill and the postal
savings BILL not to speak of minor
measures, can all be traced to Mr..
Taft's ability, tact and perseverance,
and have added immensely TO his po-
litical strength.
one OF the best elements OF the sit
uation Is the changed tendency in our
foreign trade. The country is grad
ually getting down to an export ba-
sis, permitting n more normal inter-
national commerce than has been ex-
perienced for many months. with a
liquidation and decline in commodi-
ties, which should tend to still further
lower the cost of living the probabili-
ties are that our imports will contract
while exports expand; thus permitting
larger influx of gold next fall If that
be necessary 10 Offset any stringency
should it come. Europe is taking a
more kindly interest in our financial
undertakings, and seems quite ready
to participate moderately i'm the bet
ter class of American issues Other
stimulating Influences which can be
cited are the settlement of the rail-
road question through passage OF
President Taft's BILL the probability
that the railroads will later on secure
a reasonable advance I'm rates.

1t is announced that ex-President
Roosevelt will take hand i'm the New

urge Governor Hughes to refuse a seat
on the United States supreme court
bench and again run for governor. II
is intimated that Roosevelt believes
Hughes is the only man who can save
the Republican party from defeat In
the Empire state. This Is not sur
prising In view OF the fact that the
two men stand for practically the
same things in politics. Tempera-
mentally they are opposites, and their
methods are utterly unlike. The gov
ernor Is persistent, courageous, cool
headed and even balanced. He Is not
inclined 10 strong language, 10 violent
denunciation TO vitriolic denial He
will never be mobbed by enthusiastic
admirers. he has lost political sup
porters by quietly adhering 20 speci-

yet by different methods Theodore
Roosevelt and Charles +. Hughes are
working for a common end-the well
fare of the people and the uplifting Of
civil government.

The conditions prevailing i'm the
copper metal industry are well known
10 be decidedly unfavorable. The fact
seems to be that i'm many cases the
mines are parting with their copper
for practically the cost OF production.
and this is equivalent to saying that
the assets are being wasted. There
are few mines making return TO
stockholders commensurate with the
value of the property. or the invest
ment in actual money that has been
required To open the mine and prop
erly equip il below and above ground.
II should be borne I'm mind that copper
mines are never found i'm a condition
for production, and that after the dis
covery of even rich mine. there must
be an outlay of capital. brains and
time i'm order TO be able TO get results
from the investment.
At a matter of fact, the great mines
have been made by the expenditure of
a considerable proportion of the earn
ings for exploratory work, construc-
ton and development. The conditions,
bad as they are, would be much worse,

The Lansing Republican says that
with which To head off the demand for
higher mine valuations. This boyle,
the Republican says, is brave talk
about the necessity for revamping tax
conditions throughout the state, If
equitable taxation is to be secured.
The Republican expresses the belief
that lower state property is already
paying its share Of the taxation. We
would suggest. says the Mining Jour
nal, that it consult Mr.. Holt, of the tax
commission, whom~w quoted yester-
day on the necessity of statewide re-
valuation also Secretary Lord, of the
commission, who has lately gained
some interesting light on the way
many lower Michigan counties and cit
les are assessed. II might also look
up the correspondence Of the Missau-
kee county prosecutor, who wrote to
the attorney generals department ask
ing whether exemptions OF Civil war
veterans property from If, taxation
should be based on real value OF as
sessment value. and incidentally ad-
mitted that the Missaukee county as
sesment valuations ran about 30 per
cent. II the Republican wants to be
fair it can gain much enlightenment
along these lines, but, unfortunately
the tone of its article on "The U. p.
Bogie' does not indicate any particu-
lar desire to be fair It's more intent
on making, or trying to make, capital
for Mr.. Kelley than on a desire to
