ALL MINING SUITS IN
MEXICO IN FEDERAL COURT

According to the new mining law of
Mexico, all cases relative to mines must
be tried in the federal courts. Such
cases formerly came under the civil
tribunals of the republic.
This change, effective January I, has
brought all pending cases TO the district
court at Juarez, the only federal court
in Chihuahua. The system of govern
ment mining agencies in all principal
cities will remain unchanged.

kELTz AND GARRETT.

1t will be recalled that Bert keltz
and B. W. Garrett. while serving under
the previous state administration and
blatantly advertising themselves as re-
formers, were guilty o. irregularities
that cost them their places. Keltz, as
pharmacy commissioner, charged the
state for services he did not render,
and Garrett, as pardon clerk, made his
continuance in that office undesirable,
If not impossible. Both men were let
out of office for cause by Governor
Carroll These are the men now in
active charge of the campaign against
the governor. Suppose they should
succeed ii def ting him for renomi-
nation, what then? The Clinton Her.
aid has paragraph on the subject, in
which it says:
Many Republicans in all parts of
the state are wondering whether
heltz and Garrett, who are conducting
the earst campaign, are to be return
ed to office in case Garst is nominated
and elected Both of these men were
let out of state offices because of irreg-
ularities. If they were not safe men
under Governor Carroll, will the be
safe under Garst? These are ques-
tons that are worth taking into con-
deration"

GOLD AND PRICES.

Prof. ]. Lawrence Laughlin of the
University of Chicago rejects the quite
prevalent view, affirmed by President
Taft and accepted by Bryan as vim
dication of the free silver theory, that
the increase of prices of necessary
commodities is connected with the in
crease in the available supply of the
worlds gold. In paper for Scribner's
Magazine, Professor Laughlin insists
that new gold should be considered
with reference TO the volume already
in existence. Between 1851 and 1875
the stock of gold in the world was
doubled, or from So, 158 000, 900 to So
332,000,000 From 1876 to 1895 the
gold increase was 43 per cent. yet the
professor points to the fact that prices
were very low in 1885 From 1896 I'M
til 1905 the increase of gold was only
80 per cent, yet prices in that period
rose almost continuously. Among the
causes Laughlin gives for the era of
high prices are the tariff, rise of
wages, disappearance of range-fed

the cities, extravaganza and waste,
cost of militarism, monopoly methods
of the trusts and costly methods of
retailing.

that increase of prices is due wholly
to any one cause. such as increase in

Every candidate for legislative non
ors before the primaries has been ask
ed by the Iowa Constitutional Amend
ment association to commit himself
squarely on the question of the resub-
mission of the prohibition amendment.
The wise candidate, especially in Lee
county, will refuse to commit himself
OF the subject, even in face of the
fact that he is practically certain to
be made the target of the association.
A large majority of the voters in this
county do not believe in prohibition as
a practical temperance measure and
do not propose to be misrepresented in
the legislature. The candidate who ac-
codes to the demands of the constitu-
tional amendment association thereby
signs the warrant for his defeat.

MARK TWAIN.

To tighten strenuous toll and hours of
And call the smiles to faces sad

Then thou earth's benefactor vast,
Mark Twain.
No mocker thou: never did cynic
sheer
Poison thy humor; never didst thou
jeer
At virtue, nor degrade thy perfect
Or with thy brilliant sallies wound the
heart.
Ever thy fruitful mirth's electric play
Like warmth of sunbeams cheered
the gloomy day.
At. shallow folly thou wouldst have
thy fling,
Against pride's shield thy lightning
bolts would ring;
And yet thy wits keen weapons left
no sting.
Master of revels,' vast thou, as was
said
OF that great bard who Avon's banks
did tread
Master of revels to mankind" but
Thy flashing genius other fruitage
Than quips and jests and merri-
ment's light lore.
A great heart drove thee to quite
other sphere.
Hating all cant and lies and wrong,
how6'er
UphoIden, and in form or new or old,
Thou vast for justice, truth and right
Ger bold,
Thy jayelin sarcasms giving thrusts

Thou hadst thy sorrows. AS the years
trooped by
The laughter oft was neighbor to the
sigh.
Death came and came again, and yet
again,
And each time harder grew thy hearts
dull pain.
We sorrowed with thee, Mark, but
twas in vain.
And all was borne so bravely. Thou
didst give
To manly souls pattern how to live;
How to bear losses, trouble, pain
drawn breath;
How to front fearless swift oncoming
death,
And pass into the dark with cheer
full faith.
God bless thee, Friend. for thou to

We will not think thy useful life at

Thou hast gone on where death no
more hath reign;
Thy lonely heart hath found its mates
