Nothing Can Kill The
 Progress Of America

"Even though it may be necessary to change the forms and methods oi doing the business, there will be just as much business done as the neceS- sities of the country require and the people who own the properties will d . the business.
 "Nothing is quite so bad as an ex- cited imaginatio sees it and if the pe''. ple will cease to heed the calamity bowling gamblers and demagogues who make capital out of their fears all will be well.
 This is the greatest and most pro- ductive land upon the globe and no.h- ing can kill it's progress except tn ? lack of courage of it's own people. l am, as always have been. an optimist about the United States and the long CT I live the stronger my faith be- comes in It's supremacy.
 We have never stood upon the threshold of better days than now, aud it will be our own fault if we allow our activities to be paralyzed by groundless fears.
 Tn my opinion the present great depression in security values does not reflect the condition of business so much as the present hesitancy in bus : ness reflects the effect of wild conjec- lures upon what will happen at Wasf- ington and exasgeration of its pos sible consequences"

 The foreman had discovered missed shot in the excavation at noon and before the motor car came in sight he had re- lighted the fuse. As the car approached he signaled the motorman and warned him of the impending explosion. Motor man Lyalle, evidently believing, he could take his car past the charge in safety before the explosion, paid no heed to the warning and started, ahead at full speed
 Just as the car was passing the charge exploded and the car with it's load of hu- man freight was blown high in the air amid great cloud of. debris The dead men were all prominent in mining circles in Arizona. ..-s s .ea. s.s4ss, -1s

High Cost Of Living
 To Be Fully Probed

to refute charges that the tariff Is re- sponslble for the increase. The repub- licans have brought forward the theory that the expensive methods used by American merchants in advertising and distributing their foods is largely re- sponsible for high prices. They Will try to show that there is wide difference between wholesale and retail prices, ana that the tariff is not responsible for these differences.
 It fig reported that President Taft de- sires the effect of the tariff upon neces- saries of life to be determined by the
 inquiry, however it is conducted, and that he will not tolerate any effort to gloss
 over any i'll effects that may be dis closed He has not expressed nlmselt publicly on this subject.
 Appropriation bills will continue to oc- cupy the attention of the House during the coming week, but in the Senate an effort will be made to complete the postal
 savings bank bill in order to have a vote
 not later than Thursday or Friday. Of the Presidents policies, 1t Is likely that the statehood bill next will be considered by the Senate.
 Practically no interest Is being taken by either branch of Congress in the commit tee hearings on the administration Dill for the creation of a court of commerce and amending the railroad rate laws.

Washington, February 6.-Whether the Senate and House will conduct rival in vestisations into the cause of the high cost of the necessaries of life is a ques- ticn that concerns the republican polti- cal leaders more deeply than any other problem now before Congress. If both bodies conduct such an examination, they fear that different conclusions may be reached and that such differing of repre- sentatives on the eve of the congressional elections would be likely to prove embar- rassing to the republican majority. New ertheless, the republicans of the Senate apparently are determined to order such an inQury and conduct 1t with the utmost dispatch, regardless, of the view of the House leaders on the subject.
 The Lodge resolution. which was re- ported from the Senate committee on finance, has been amended so as to pro- vide fer committee of seven senators. and it probably will be reported tomor- row from the committee on contingent expenses. The enlarged committee will give Senator Elkins an opportunity to serve as one of the investigators If he cares to do so, and will unite the repub- licans ln favor of the inquiry. There is a that the investigation pro- posed by the House committee on ways and means may be ordered, but no deci- sion has thus far been reached.
 That the inquiry win be virtually po- ltical in character is admitted on every side. The republican leaders concede that the agitation over the cost of living will play . prominent part in the congress siona1 campaign, and they show no dis position to disguise their purpose to "hx up their fences as we'll as they can.

Split In Irish Party
 Feature Of Politics

London, February 1.-The split in the Irish party appears to be one of the most interesting features of the political situa- ton to the London morning papers. The suggestion has been made to William O'Brien by one of his constituents that an attempt should be made to adjust the party differences by cornering the round table conference, consisting of Mir o'Brien, John E. Redmond. Cardinal Logue, Archbishop Walsh and others The leader of the independent nationalists declares that such a conference would be useless unless the officers of the board of Erin were first removed from their present positions as masters of the funds and liberties of Ttne nationalist party. q
 In a long letter to the Daily Tele- graph this morning MT. o'Brien further explains that his successful election cam paisn was undertaken solely with the pur- pose of saving his friends from the machinations of the adhcrents of the board of Erin, or those Molly Maguires' who had secured entire control of the Irish league under party.

Augusta. Ga. February S.-"This is the greatest and most productive country upon the globe and nothing can kill its progress except the lack of courage of its own people, said H. c. Prick. one of the leading finlnciers of the United States, in an interview today. MT. Prick came here yesterday and took cottage for the winter.
 Tt is hard to understand why, with all the conditions favorable to unpre- cedented prosperity in this country" said Mir Prick, There nas suddenly ap- peared a hesitation III activity, partic. ularly upon the part of the railroads and manufa curing establishments. which are first to feel the demands for increased facilities to meet public re- quirements and the iirsst to take alarm when the demand halts. If this cause is, as it is generally asserted, fear of unfriendly legislation at Washing ton and the drastic enforcement of the antitrust law against the business or ganizations of tho country, l cannot believe that is q sufficient reason to justify the timidi.y shown in man% quartess. Congress will4snote lestslsae any form of property out of existence and court decisions cannot destroy the productiveness of the soil or of any le- gitiInate enterprise.

support of the Protestants, MT. O'Brien declares that is ridiculous, because there are so few Protestants in those con stituencies in which his friends triumphed. He, however. welcomes the Protestant support for his friends. because 1t proves that tine efforts of himself and his friends made in the face of almost impossible odds to secure generous treatment for them has completely disarmed the sus- picions of the Protestants in the south as to their future in self-governed Ire- land, and so soon as the Ulster Protest ants are similarly reassured home rule will be a mere question of friendly set clement between Protestant and Catholic Irisllmen.
 In conclusion MT. O'Brien declares that his 'all for Ireland movement will be Aanimated by good will toward both Eng fish political parties on the one condition of their placing the Irish question above the reach of mere partisan intrigue.
 The Morning Post gives the gist of a conversation had last week with Joseph Chamberlain on the results of the cleo tion. The interviewer says that in spite of his illness, MT. Chamberlain showed the same indomitable spirit, the same wide outlook and the broad intellectual grasp of affairs which formerly charac- terized his statesmanship.

 Several hundred thousand dollars worth of real estate is, being held in trust to be turned into cash for the benencia ries But babies have consistently interposed legal obstacles.
 These cherubs have not only defied the courts and lawyers by their advent, but have thwarted the plans of their trustee. who has been strivink sor three years to get a court settlement. Each time a pe- tition has been filed. however, the an nouncement of birth in the family has called all legal process to a halt, for under the law no estate can be settled without entering the appearance of every heir.

Clarence Hall, an expert and three assistants of the United States geological survey penetrated the mine where II miners were lost yes- teraay.
