TAFT SOAKED THE LITTLE FISH

When president Taft made his
speech in Detroit the other day he
was in fighting humor as far a his
arrangement of the Socialists,
shysters and m~uckrakers was con
cerned. But a peculiar feature of
the speech was that the president
only arraigned the little fsh-thosc
who were not in the high up class
and he took occasion to deal with
them with no gentle hand or
mcrciful tongue. Now if ashystcr
is any man who conducts his business
in a tricky manner, then there are
a plenty of shysters whose names
appear in the directory of directors
and who control the destinics of
our biggest corporations and
there might even be one or two in
the presidents cabinet. But it was
only the little shysters whom the
president rebuked; the shameless
scoundrcls who sell out for five dol
lars. not those who conduct mil
lion dollar swindlcs.
But of the evil men and evilcon-
ditions that make socialists, muck
rakers and shysters the president
had nothing to say. Evidently he
does not believe in rebuking bad
causes; he rebukes only the bad
effects which the auscs inevitably
produce.
Muckrakers, for example, may
be as bad as the president says they
are. But what Of the men and the
institutions they assaiIcd?
Depew was a muckraker's victim.
So was Foraker, and Mitchell, and
Burton, and Clark, and Quay, and
Plat, United States senator's, all of
them. So is Lorimer. So was
Aids, in Newly ork, recently. So
was Tweed. So was Croker. So
were the Pittsburg boodlers and the
San Francisco graftcrs. And the
beef trust, and the Standard Oil
and the steel trust, the express
companies and the Pullman COM
pany, the Guggenheims and some of
their useful fricnds-all victims of
the muckrakers.
OF the two classes, which is the
greater evil? Which is more
dangerous to American institutions,
American liberty, to American law
and order? Which makes the most
socialists? Which is responsible for
the growth Of socialism as a para
mount issue?"
One of the greatest of modern
mnckrakers was recently appointed,
by President Taft, to q place on
the supreme bench. For Governor
Hughes uncovered more fraud and
corruption in New York, in the
course of a single investigation,
than even Tom Lawson had sus-
pcctcd.
If President Taft is so eager TO
stay the onward sweep of socialism
why does he give himself so vigor.
ously TO denouncing the socialists,
and not at all to denouncing tho
evils and wrongs, the conspiracies
of injustice and oppression. that
drive men to socialism? What is
there about the republican party
we wonder that makes its lcadors
always so quick to rebuke tLoso
those who attack an established
evil too violently, and so slow 70
move against the evil itself?-s,

AN IMPORTANT
''' ''"' MINING DECISION

The decision rendered last week
in Goldfeld by Judge Theron Stevens
in the ease of Round Mountain
Mining Co. VS.. the Round Mountain
Srhinx Mining Co. in favorof the DC
PENDANT, is one of the most important
handed down from a district court
in the annals of mining litigation
involving as it does law points and
| complicating features upon when
| there has never been a precedent
established by ruling. The points
| Of law decided in this case are as
| follows:
Fist-That a ;alid location of a
mining claim can only be based
upon a discovery of mineral within
the boundaries of the claim sought
to be located, and upon the unap-
propriated mineral lands of the
United States.
S~econd-Whenever, after a dis
covery,- a mining location has been
made and the ground included with
in the boundaries of such claim has
been segregated from unapproprI-
ated mineral lands of the United
States, no valid location can be
made of any claim based upon
discovery made within the bound
aries of a claim thus segregated.
Third-A failure to advertise al
| application for a patent on a seniCl
5 location by a junior location doe;
not stop such junior locator from
questioning the validity of tn,
location of the claim under whic|
the senior locator seeks to cnfOrcy
5 cxtra-latcral rights as against sucI
. junior locator.
5 Fourth-Thc invalidity of sue
patent may be pleaded as a dcfcns
= in any action brought for the posse:
{ sion of land and may be tried upo
I the same principle as an origina
c bill in equity.
s Fifth-Whcrc the original loca
h ton certificate Of a claim declare
r that the location was made cntircl
+ within the boundaries of othC
S claims the burden of proof is upo
e the locator to show that the clair
5 upon which such locations wcr
made were invalid.
L Sixth That where a cross vel
Il departs from the side lines Of
n location such side lines become q
S end lines for the purpose of d,
g tcrmining the eXtra-lateral RICH
IS of the locator and beyond such sic
end lines as they extend dow
: vertically, the locator cannot folio
the vein, and could not enter upo
J. or into premises which are show
: to be outside Of the vertical plan,
L drawn downward through tho.
q lines.

MIGHT INITIATE PRACTICE
OF MEXICAN GOVERNMENT

The Mexican government has
recently inaugurated a system of
providing assistance to prOspectors
and investors. The government
bears all the eX pense.
In place of being content with a
geological survey as in the United
States and other countries, where
the gcologist feels confident values
exist, or where the groupings show
values, they are now following up
the work of the biologists and
prospectors with diamond core drills
to determine the extent of the ore
bodies, as well as other conditions.
The value of the work can hardly
be estimated in dollars until time
shows the direct increase of bullion
over former conditions.
Except in very few instances like
the COmstock, underground ex-
]ploration in the very richest proven
mines and districts is quite limited,
yet the surface indications in many
instances are thesame in a wide area
or may be traced for miles along
mountain ranges or crossing from
n range to another.
The valleys filled with the erosion
of centuries hide groupings and are
passed over, while the lodges must
be there, as strong as where ex-
posed on the mountains. In many
cases, no doubt, these lodges may
be hidden under but a few feet of
earth and debris. This character
istic is very noticeable along the
Mother Lode" in California.
1t would be money well spent if
our government would equip field
explorers with drills to test the
mineral lands of the country. An
expense representing one.half the
cost of target practice of the navy
annually would bring practical
results, that would be astonishing
as gratifying. The work should
begin as soon as possible and be
prosecuted without ccasing. I'm
%suspecting bodies of valuable
minerals would be found, including
oil. Next to the value of minerals
would be artesian well water, the
greatest of all artificial supplies.
This is essentially government
work. for it is too expensive for the
masses. Besides a we'll equipped
government force could do the work
better. We have the engineer
officers and plenty of soldiers to
feed anyway. The additional ex-
pense would be small, compared TO
he i~ncalculable benefits.
When we consider the enormous
expense of the navy annually, which
is a dead loss, it would seem not
only fair but necessary to expend
a little more toward developing the
natural resources of the country.
If necessary to reimburse the
government, the mines, oil and
water thus discovered could be
retained and leased which would 90
a long way toward meeting the ex-
penses of the government.-Ex

CHERRIES DAYF0R
JURORS
The Beebe Jury Sworn in
Yesterday Spend Gloomy
Thanksgiving.

The twelve jurymen secured yes
terday afternoon for the Beebe trial
are spending a gloomy day in the
custody of the bailiffs at the court
house While the court, lawyers and
witnesses are enjoying Thanksgiving
turkey the twelve talismen must re-
main away from their homes. Ac-
cording to the law a jury for muir
der trial must remain together under
the watch of bailiffs from the time
they are sworn in until their verdict
is rendered. The day being a legal
holiday the trial could not progress,
so time will doubtless hang heavily
on the hands of these men.
Tomorrow morning they will have
an automobile ride to Brender can
yon. five and half miles above Cash
lmere, to view the premises where
James Sutton was murdered last
August. Should the weather be cold
the men may not have comfortable
ride. Indications today, however,
are that 1t will be ideal overhead, but
the roads are quite rough.

and wife had not retired when the
burglars entered the home. The
shooting was heard by Mrs. John
Sears, an aged woman and house
keeper of the Armstrong family. She
remained up stairs and was so afraid
she would be shot that she hid under
the bed until the arrival of her son,
who lived in the house but was
spending the evening away. Mean
while the burglars ransacked the
house and carried away jewelry,
money and other articles.

CHELAN HUSk|ES
GIVE BATTLE.
Football Team From Lake
Furnish Thanksgiv-
ing Game.

At one O'Clock this afternoon the
Chelan and Wenatchee football
teams lined up for game at Recre-
alton Park. The gridiron location
was changed so as to have more of
the playing done on dry ground. 1t
will be just as advantageous for spec
tatorS.
These Chelan fellows played the
locals a stronger game than any
other team this season. 1t was
thought that they would furnish a
better exhibition for the benefit of
the fans than any other team avail
able. They heli Wenatchee down to
a IL to score early in the season
1t is hoped that good turnout
will swell the gate receipts today in
order to meet deficit OF S110 for
the football management, The ex-
penses of this game will run about
SIS. If the half dollars today ag-
good condition.
1t was hoped that a game with
Aberdeen might be played in Seat
tie where the receipts would have
wound up the season with a bullying
purse. II this thing had happened
it was the purpose of the manage
ment to purchase the best sweaters
made for the players who have
brought so much credit to them
selves, their school ana their city.
On these sweaters big W. would
have been attached.
If the football people will give the
business men chance, it is prOba-
bic they would esteem it a privilege
to contribute to this worthy end in
order to express their pride in the
boys who have made a showing which
is thc pride of Wenatchee.

NOT
To PLAY
AGAIN
Team Disbanded for Season
Claims State Cham
picnship.

Aberdeen, Wash, Nov. 24.--De
spite the ruling made by the board
Of control OF the Washington High
School Athletic Association, Abe--
deem will not play Wenatchee. This
was the decision reached by Supt
Arthur Wilson.
We were bullied,' says he, in
to playing with Tacoma and We do
not propose to be bullied again. Fur
| thermore, Wenatchee' claim to a
game is not as good as was Tacoma's.
and there is a well-fOunded opinion
extant that we should not have play
ed Tacoma"
Supt. Wilson at first refused to
believe that the board had decided
for Wenatchee AMI called up by long
distance phone members of the board
to be sure that the decision had been
made
The team has broken training"
said Coach Meyer, land the boys are
not in condition to play Thanksgiv-
ing game or next Saturday"
In addition to this Supt. Wilson is
opposed to post-season games.
I'VE have had enough football
playing this year" is his conclusion
We will go before the board at
! the December meeting" said Supt.
! Wilson, and claim the scholastic
championship. We have every right
to it, We were told before the Ia
coma game that there was no team
| in the state that we needed to play
but Tacoma. We have letters to
show from Principals Mckown and
Hart that we wouldn't need to play
! Weratchee unless Wenatchee should
| defeat Spokane. Wenatchee has
played no other game with cred
| tied high school. 1t has no claim to
game with Aberdeen. When we
agreed to play the second game with
Tacoma we were informed definitely
that the outcome Of that game would
settle the championship. We played
the game on that condition. Taco
ma has now waved all.its claim to
the championship. We consider our
title clear and shall ask for the cham
| pionship We fail to see how our
claims can be denied with the slight
est degree of consistency. If VIC
play Wenatchee we will be called up
on to play Broadway and every 9TH
err team that wants game That
is a physical impossibility. We. have
finished training and the schedule
and we will not don football suit
at the school again this year."
Business men when they were ap-
4 prised at the action of the board of
control were eager for another game
and offers of $2O0 to Aberdeen play
ers were made, but Supt. Wilson
positively refused to recede from his
| decision.

D|bbLE H0MEFROM
MINNESOTA
Had Charge of Wenatchee
Exhibit at Donaldson's
Store.

Mr. and Mrs. w. H. Dibble re-
turned yesterday from Minneapolis,
where Mr.. Dibble had charge of the
Wenatchee Commercial Club exhibit
at the Donaldson store. He confirm
ed the story printed in the Daily
World sometime ago that the Wenat-
chez exhibit was far ahead Of any
thing else exhibited at Donaldson s.
IL was the Wenatchee exhibit that
always attracted the crowd. The
big store was filled to capacity at all
times during the exhibit period.
Very fancy prices were obtained
for all fruit shown at the big store.
The Donaldsons were not particular
in purchasing first class fruit. but
it sold just the same in Minneapolis.
The representative of the company
while here priced the Wenatchee
Valley Spitzenbergs but considered
the price too high and went to Ore
gon for that variety. The fruit pur-
chased was Of a very inferior grade,
not to be compared TO Wenatchee
valley fruit, but it sold in Minneapo-
lis and at good prices, too.
Mr.. Dibble states that the Delic-
ious was the apple which attracted
the most attention. The Donaldson S
had but a limited supply of this var
iety and what they had came from
Wenatchee. These sold at $500 for
the one-tier box, none being sold at
a less figure. These were extra
choice apples and most of the boxes
held only from fifteen to twenty APP
piles each. Rome Beauties sold at
the exhibit for $3.50 for the full
box
Mr.. Dibble says that be is back
here better satisfied than ever with
the Wenatchee valley after seeing
the exhibits put out by other locali-
ties. After investigating the apple
conditions in the east he states he
has no fear of over-production OF
good apples.
