In the struggle now going on in this
State for gubernatorial success many
issues which otherwise would have
been prominent are escaping close at
tention. For instance. most of the Es-
sex Republican assemblymen are seek
ing reelection. They have been taken
to task many times for their failure to
listen to the public voice, but they
seem to feel that no defense Of their
record is necessary other than that
they obeyed orders. Were they not
faithful to the interests of the public
service corporations in their effort to
override the rights OF property
and to prolong the life of franchises?
Did they not try to impose upon the
city of Newark an undesirable charter
We're they not always found fighting
against the passage of an effective pub
lie utility bill? Were they not deaf to
the appeals of thousands of commuters
for a rate-making law? Did they not
withhold support from labor by refus-
ing to correct the infirmities Of the
present employers liability law? And
did they not set back equal taxation by
invoking the old method of ascertaining
railway valuation? They did, and
more. They voted the largest appro-
priation of public moneys in the his
tory of the State, and now they feel
they should be returned; but a new era
has dawned. Candidates are considered
worthy when their records show sym
pathy with the common welfare. The
spirit of enlightenment is abroad, and
records such as the foregoing will fur
nish no passport to public approval.

The credulity of the public is said to
be the source of much profit to the
wary promoters of money making
schemes. But is the public so entirely
guileless? Legitimate enterprises, which
promise a fair return on an investment,
will satisfy many people. but there are
others who desire quick riches. The
gambling spirit is pretty well developed
In this country, and it is always ready
to take a chance at any venture which
promises a return of anything from 80
to 500 per cent. These ventures promise
great riches. They often result in
quick failures. The papers announce
the end of two of such ventures in
which much money was lost. Until a
new enterprise appears, promising much
and asking only the safe-keeping of
the investors money, the public will
resolve not to be tempted.

A comparison Of the Lewis and VIII
son meetings held at Kruger Audi
torium emphasizes some significant
differences. The Lewis meeting dis
played all the outward signs of the old
time political rally. The band played,
the red lights flared, buttons and liter
ature were distributed, and PARTISAN
ship found vent in noisy hurrahs. The
attendance was large, the speaker was
earnest, and those who had come con-
vinced went home retaining their con-
victions. The Wilson meeting was
shorn of all allurements, save the man
and the cause which he had come to
advocate. The hall was filed to ca
pacity. The effervescence of politics
was absent, but the earnestness of the
throng was manifest. There was not a
discordant note of partisanship. AS
the speaker advised, the people were
there taking counsel among themselves.
They were listening to utterances that
went deeper than the surface of poll
tics. Common interest was being ap-
pealed to, and the response was the
substitution of conviction for doubt
and zeal for indifference.

PROGRESSING ON
BIC MINE
TUNNEL AND TRACK COMPLETED
AND BUILDING READY FOR
THE STAMPS-STAMPS ARE EN-
ROUTE.

That the promoters of the gold
mine on the Squillchuck believe i'm
plicitly in the possibilities of making
it a paying mine is evidenced from
the fact that no stock whatever is for
sale and that at least 100000 is be-
ing spent to take the first test H.
Leighton, one of the owners, has been
here most of the time and is personal
ly overseeing the work Samples of
the ore from all parts of the lead have
been assayed and tests of various
kinds made before the present work
to range from 20 cents to $50 per
ton. Most of it runs between 81 AMI
So. Considering the fact that the
great mines in Alaska, located at
Treadwell, have to raise their ore a
distance of 400 feet, the ore in this
mine is of better quality than that
which pays its owners such high div
idends each month. The cost of min
ing, milling and putting into bullion
Of this ore is from 40 cents to go
cents per ton The stamp mills are
now on the way and are expected to
arrive here in about ten days and the
mine will be running by March /.
The story of the beginning of work
on the mine is an interesting one Mr.
Leighton when over here at one time
was told that there was mineral in
that ledge. Half jokingly he picked
up two pieces of the rock and had it
assayed. The reports were favorable.
He then sent a man to Wenatchee to
investigate. This report was favor
able In order to satisfy himself he
had this mans work checked up sew
eral times by other parties. All re-
ports confirmed the belief that mine
at this point would be paying one
Then quantities of the ore were sent
to the Sound for mill test All of
these tests were satisfactory. Yet
Mr.. Leighton, who is very conserv-
alive man, states that the work now
being done is still a test" 1t is
highly evident, however, that the
company very nearly knows what it
is doing, otherwise it would not be
spending so much money.
