Rnd the Alleged Conspiracy.

Washington Letter in Boston Transcript.
Since the publication by Representative
George w. Norris of Nebraska Of letter
written by him to the Republican Pro-
gressive league Of his state, charging the
White House. or the White House press
bureau" with issuing false political state
ments, newspaper men have been curious
to learn the facts, II any. upon which Mr..
Norris bases his charges. These charges
are directed more against the local than
the general press, but they are sufficiently
broad TO indicate that many newspaper
correspondents are acting in line with
some suggestions from Charles ID. Hllles,
secretary to President Taft, and misrep-
resenung the circumstances of the candi-
dacy OF Senator Robert Nj. La Toilette OF
Wisconsin for the presidential nomination.
The first charge OF Mr.. Norris is that
"a systematic and daily publication of mis-
representations and false reports regarding
the course taken by leading progressive re-
publlcans in congress . have earmarks
that indicate that they originated in the
White House." This is a reference to
story published some weeks ago that GER
tain leading progressive senators would not
work for La Toilette delegations In their
states and thus. inferentially. and to that
extent, would support President Taft for
denomination.

The original story, which was accurately
stated by the correspondents first receiving
It, presented the exact facts in the case.
IT was obtained at the capitol and not at
the White House, which had no more to
do with II thanN Mr.. Norris had. 1t was
based on the knowledge that several pro-
gressive republicans had declined to sign
a paper advocating the nomination of Mr.
La Toilette for the presidency and 1t con-
veyed the information that these gentle
men, while sympathizing with the La Fol-
lette movement and being personally op-
posed to President Taft, yet believed that
the La Toilette candidacy would be futile
and therefore were not inclined to en-
courage 1t In their own states. 1t was dis
tinctly stated that the prosressives named
were not enthusiastic for or even friendly
70 President Taft, but that they regarded
his denomination as inevitable and thought
II wiser politics to send a solid Taft dele
CATION from their own communities.
This was the substance OF the original
story, but the inside facts were known to
only comparatively few writer's and Is
the tale travelled 1t finally was distorted
into statement, in some papers, that the
progressives had deserted" Mr.. La Fol-
lette and that he was so depressed by the
desertion that he contemplated going over
to the democratic party. This distortion
of a few simple facts Mr.. Norris and other
progressives are Justly entitled to condemn
but 1t is a mistake, arising from a mis-
understanding equally unfortunate, to
charge the misrepresentation to the White
House or any one representing It.

Another incident referred to by Represen-
tative Norris is the puDncation in Wash
ington OF interview with Franklin A.
Shotwell, secretary Of the Republican Pro-
gressive League of Nebraska, in which
that gentleman declared for the renomina-
ton of President Taft. From the tone of
Mr.. Norris letter IL might be inferred that
he also charges this utterance against the
White House press bureaa, although he
did not say SO. The facts are that Mr.
Shotwell was introduced to President Taft
by Senator Norris Brown. On leaving the
White House offices he was approached by
the newspaper men, as all visitors Of any
distinction are, but said practically moth
ing worth a story" The White House
bulletin presented a simple fact, without
comment, that Secretary Shotwell had Wis
tied the president in company with Sena-
tor Brown. Later, at his hotel Mr. Shot
we'll was interviewed by a reporter for a
Washington paper, and speaking for him
self only, declared enthusiastically for the
denomination of the president. This inter
view, II is understood, was not given by
him as secretary of the league or intended
to represent the views of its members. The
Washington paper later declined to print a
telegram to Mr.. Norris from the league
setting forth different views than those
entertained by Mr.. Shotwell and attempt
ing to correct whatever impression Mr..
Shotwell may have given. IL any, that the
Republican Progressive League Of Ne
braska favored the denomination OF Presi-
dent Taft Whether or not this paper used
good professional judgment in declining TO
publish the matter requested, the Shotwell
story did not emanate from the White
Houese-and the offending newspaper is
democratic sheet.

Calamine ores were strong at

Lead ores were strong at $50,

The production of the district
continues to be fair, an estimate
of $500 tons being considered
close to the real tonnage, but
Saturday saw a cold wave come
over the field that may cut the
output. The threat of a shut
down, if carried into effect would
cut this to 1000 tons and per-
haps less. The shipments are
good and are considered certain
to continue up to the full pro-
duction of the field throughout

The Ethel Miller mine, form
erly the Lancaster, is making
a nice lot of ore each week. Ed,
Miller is running the property,
and he is a practical man.
The Good Luck shipped a Car
load of zinc last week. This is
one of the most consistent pro-
ducers in the whole country. 1t
has always paid, since the mill
was put into operation. The
Good Luck is another mill which
is run without style, but for
profit.
We understand the White Ea-
gle mine, on the Abrams land, is
to be started again soon. Mr..
Metlack, the principal owner of
the mine, was here last week
looking after the matter. This
is a good mine and made money
when it run, and we are glad to
hear it is to be put back into
commission again.
L. D. Brewster & Co., who are
operating the Mission mine,
shipped a car load of zinc ore
last week. The dirt from the
Mission is good, and the present
operators are working the mine
in a way to make some money.
Heretofore there has been too
many frills used in the operations
of most all the mines in this part
of the country.
While not in a fault finding
mood, yet we feel that there is
an explanation due the ordinary |
layman as to why some mines do
not pay. The reason is that
many of them are run mostly on
style, and very little practical
mining sense. Take most any
mine in the Southwest and put
t in charge of sensible mining
men, who think more of produc-
ng good results than they do of
wearing high top boots and cor
luroy coats, and it can be made
% pay. There has been entirely
90 much style the last few years
n the mining business. Why,
zee whiz, it is not much effort to
emember back to when jack
old for $40 to SIS per ton, and
he owners of the mines made
money. To be sure, it did not
:ost quite as much to operate a
nine in those days, but it is also
rue there was not so much
lyle, either. If the mining
BUSINESS could be put back on a
ensible basis it is our notion the
