RETIREMENT OF SENATOR J
w. BAILEY OF TEXAS.

From Gainesville, Texas, the home
of Senator Joseph W. Bailey, comes
the announcement that he will not be q
candidate for the Senate to succeed
himself. His present term will end
March 3, 1913, and he will not seek
reelection. He declares1his decision is
irrevocable.
Supposedly, Senator Bailey will con-
tinue in office until the end of his
term, and thus will remain Senator
through the coming long session of
Congress and through the short ses-
sion a year from next winter. But
inasmuch as the announcement of the
prospective retirement of politician
is likely to be coincident with. the
waning of his influence, the publication
of his decision to quit the Senate must
be considered the beginning of his
political end. For some time it has
been apparent the influence of the
Texas Senator on the Senate was
lessening, and that it will now still
further lessen cannot be doubted.
1t would be idle to contend that the
retirement of Senator Bailey is not
deeply significant. To the thinking
man it is significant and is clear in
dication of the trend of things in pub,
lie affairs, of the thought of the public
with respect to the qualifications that
it demands of the men who are to
represent it in high places and especial.

the initiative, referendum, and recall,
as voiced in the Arizona constitution.
Though he withdrew his resignation,
it has been plain since that time that
his influence with his Democratic col
leagues in the Senate was waning, just
as it has been apparent that the pro-
gressive spirit is more and more taking
hold on the Senate Democrats. In a
word, Senator Bailey has been growing
more and more out of place in the
Senate with its marked tendency to
progressivism on both the Democratic
apd the Republican sides.
Senator Bailey has been assailed as
few public men of his time have been
assailed by reason of his relations with
the Standard Oil interests in Texas.
He managed to combat these attacks
SUCCESSFULLY at various times in his
own State. But with all his brilliancy
he could not stay the oncoming of the
progressive movement in his party. He
foresaw that its waves would roll over
him, Just as others foresaw it. In its
essence, his retirement is not different
as to the causes that lie back of il
from the retirement from public life OF
such men as Hale of Maine and Aldrich
of Rhode Island. The public, no matter
how high it may regard such men as
these for their capacity in certain re,
spects, has little use longer for them
as Senators or Representatives in Con.
gress. The call is for a new and
higher type of statesmen.

SENATOR SWANSoN'S STOCK
SPECULATIoNS.

Senator Swanson of Virginia is a
candidate for nomination to succeed
himself, in the State primary to be held
tomorrow. In the last days of the
campaign his opponents have charged,
and extorted from him the admission,
that while member of the lower house
of Congress, and a member of its
Ways and Means Committee, he specu-
lated, on margins, in stock of the
American Tobacco Company, the trust.
Senator Swanson has admitted that
he held 200 shares at one time and
$50 shares at another time, in this
way; a total of about $4,000, worth
of the, shares. In addition, Representa-
tive Jones, who first made the charge,
declares that Swanson held another
block of $4,000, bringing the total to
about 100000.
All the facts about these transac-
tions ought to be developed and given
the fullest publicity. Mr.. Jones charges
that these speculations took place in
the period following the Spanish war,
when extra taxation was imposed on
tobacco. The removal of that extra
taxation must be initiated by the
Ways and Means Committee. 1t would
be certain to benefit greatly the To-
bacco trusts shares.
Mr.. Swanson thus appears to have
been speculating in trust stock
whose value would be greatly affected
by his own action as legislator.
The whole story is SO rank, so ut
terly discreditable, that it is no won
der the story comes from Virginia of
a tremendous revulsion of sentiment
against Swanson in the last days OF
the primary campaign.
Not in many years has worse case
become public of prostituting a iegis-
lator's public duty to his private profit.
Nelson w. Aldrich, while chief stock
holder of the Intercontinental Rubber
Company, raised the tariff on rubber
manufactures and placed raw rubber
on the free list, to the great profit OF
his company. Exposure of that trans
action broke down completely his repu-
tation as a legislator, branded him as
a manipulation of laws for his private
ends, and destroyed the last shred OF
public confidence in the Aldrich- -Smoot
tariff act.
The Swanson case is rather worse
for Swanson posed as an enemy of the
Tobacco trust, represented district in
which the trust was anathema, and re-
peatedly boasted of the great fight he
was making against it!
Virginia has been strangely unwill'
ing to believe the things ali the rest
of the country knew about its repre-
sentation in the Senate. But now, be-
tween the Martin letters begging money
from railroad lawyers, and the Swanson
record of gambling in Tobacco trust
stocks, perhaps the State will begin tc
realize its disgrace.

TO CONCENTRATE TAILINGS

p. A. Danaher has completed the ar
rangements that were pending for some
months to concentrate the tailinge of the
Red Elephant group of mines.
The lease is signed. and the materials
and machinery for the mill are ordered.
Three carloads of lumber are on the
way here from Oregon and carload OF
machinery from Denver.
Mr.. Danaber has to go to Ely, New,
TO look after his mining interests there.
But he will be gone only three or four
days, and on his return to HALEY he
will begin operations upon the Red
Elephant tailings.
The mill will have daily capacity of
100 tons of tailings, and if he is not de-
layed by the makers of the machinery
he viii have the mill ready to 20 into
commission by the lst of September. 1t
will be operated by water power.
Mr. Danaher does not expect to do
much at the Idaho Democrat group Of
mines this year, as his plans there are
somewhat obstructed He had planned
to put in hydro. electric plant on Deer
Creek, in conjunction with the Nay
Aug group Of mines, but the latter com
pany is not ready to 90 ahead. Mr..
Dansher knows that he can generate his
own power for much less than the
Cramer Electric Company can afford to
supply him but he must generate more
than he can use, or the cost will be more
than the electric company would charge.
