The Thumb.

Thumbs have been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancieihs
used to call the thumb the other hand.
Barbarous kings used to swear and
make compacts by their thumbs. In
Rome it was sign of favor to wiring
and kiss the thumb and of disfavor
or disgrace to lift it up or turn it out
ward. A man who was hurt in his
thumbs was excused from serving in
the Roman wars. Some of the scoun-
drelly citizens used to cut off their
thumbs so as to remain at home and
get rich. Teachers used to punish their
pupils by biting their thumbs.

then the people will know where they are, and can for themselves at the polls determine whether or not they will pay the price demanded by the President for the freedom of State hood. His failure to be thus explicit justifies us all in the conclu- sion that he will approve the con>ti- tuition as written by the convention.
 WILL THINK FIRST
 Knowing as the President knows, that we have the right to form the laws under which we are to live, and write it as we please, restrained only by the constitution of the United States; he will be slow to assume to himself the unjustifable power of dictating to a free people the gov ernment they shall organize.
 1T believe the shortest way to is to give the constitution an overwhelming majority. I trust this hastily written statement will forever nut an end to false reports as to my intention and purposes in he premises.

SENATOR cLARK,s OPINION

Former Senator William A. Clark, president of the United Verde Copper company, who is in New York this week, said. after the Producers meeting, in reference to the statistical showing:
 ''I was much surprised as were others, at the failure of the produc- ton to show the expected decrease for December. There has been no en- largenient of the output of my mines nor at Butte, so it would seem that whatever increase there is must come from the porphyry producers. Re finery stocks might furnish an eX- planation, except that the natural conclusion is that refinery stocks are reduced by this time. The heavy falling off in domestic deliveries and the great increase in exports are both very remarkable.
 "I consider that there is very fair copper outlook for 1911 While do- mestic deliverles are off, January, so far. has produced twice the amount of inquiry as compared with the cor responding neriod in December. The stagnati0n in the steel industry is. of course, bound to be reflected in cop per, but I look for improvement in both lines Tn the near future."
