Its q poor earthquake that doea n.

tlins version Of the old proverb, -It's
an Ill wind that blows nobody any
good"
The earthquake disturbances Of Zen
tember and October In southvestern
Alaska have brought to the surface
scores Of gold mines, which will add
millions Of dollars to the wealth Of the
people Of the territory.
The manner In which the eartbauaks

bling motion Of the earth's crust L.
comes exceedingly violent 1t produces
deep cracks In the surface. The earth-
quake. 1t Is well known. rolls over thu
surface OF the earth in a certain direc.
tiOn, just as wave rolls over the sur.
face of the ocean.
The earthquake. however. is NJ
working In fluid medium, and its ac-
tion upon the mdRe stiff and brittle
crust Of the earth produces many kinds
Of fractures and arrangements Of the
superficial strata. One portion of a
layer Of rock IL lifted up and placed
upon another. What was once the
surface Of the earth is buried deep out

buried deep out Of sight for ages IL

That side Of q crack In the earth

very apt to be lifted up and pushed
over the opposite side. In other cases
the gold bearing lode lies concealed
under the surface soil Of hillside, and
the earthquake shakes away the soil,
exposing the quartz.
The gold bearing lead In the newly
fractured rock IL lifted up and exposed
few feet above the ground. The
miner has only to stretch forth his
pick and strike the auriferous rock.
Thus, through the Intervention of the
benevolent earthquake. gold il discov-

THE PRoGREssIvEs

The convention is going to divide on
the question of so called progressive
Republicanism. Senator La Toilette Is
progressive Republican, and so is
Senator Cummfns Of Iowa, whose stock
as a presidential aspirant will climb
should La Toilette prove unable to cap
ture Iowa. In that event Cummlns
may be picked to run, so political
sharps have forecasted, In order TO
keep Iowa out of the Taft column.
7. Il. himself is sometimes called a
progressive Republican. The progres-
stves. be 1t explained. sound the slo-
gan. Drive special interests out of
politics" Further, they stand for riff
revision and the initiative, referendum
and recall and the dethronement OF
bosses.
What:%sr may be the extent of the
political differences between President
Taft and his predecessor, students of
the political situation have concluded
that the breach is sufficient to keep
them apart in the convention. This
much granted and the fact that an in.
duential Roosevelt following has kent
on demanding his nomination has lent
strength to the popular notion that
Colonel Roosevelt as candidate is
quite likely to precipitate spectacular
battle against the Taft forces in the
convention.

Next Weeks Article Will Deal
With Democratic Candidates.
BY WALTER WILLIAMS,

- HICAGO on June 1s will be-
come the battle-ground of one
~ Of the most remarkable Re-
publican national conventions
In the party's history. There, in the
great coliseum, on the day mentioned,
will begin a several cornered struggle
for tho presidential nomination. Po-
litical experts have been guessing for
months as to what will be the out
come. While President Taft and Sem
ator La Toilette of Wisconsin made
no secret Of their attitude from the
time the first farotf rumblings of an
other presidential campaign were
heard, other formidable aspirants,
while maintaining significant silence,
were saving wood. Topping these
sphinx figures in the political arena
has been Theodore Roosevelt, the only
living expresident.
Il am not a candidate" Colonel
Roosevelt has kept repeating, and
nobody could smoke him out Re-
porters besieged Sycamore Hill In
vain. One editor, in despair after re-
peated attempts to force the colonel
out In the open, announced, lone thing
is certain, and that is that Colonel
Roosevelt Is candidate or he isn't"
And that really represented the stu.
alton, so far as anybody could find out.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1912-03-07
AS TO HUGHES

Justice Hughes has been discussed
as compromise candidate should a
deadlock occur between Taft and
Roosevelt.
Justice Hughes himself is quoted as
saying that no supreme court justice
worthy Of the position would consider
political nomination. Notwithstand-
ing this implied declination many lead
ing Republicans in New York and else
where regard him as a likely means
Of healing factional differences in the
party.
Colonel Roosevelt in the course of
his speech at the Aldine club dinner in
New York-the dinner at which the
colonel was said by some to have clear
ly indicated that he was in receptive
mood for another chance at getting the
White House job and by others not to
have done anything Of the sort-was
reported to have said anent the vice
presidency:
perhaps the people who have charc-
ed me with wanting to be king didn't
know anything about present day
kings. do. The job Of being king
nowadays is cross between being per.
petual vice president and leader Of the
Four Hundred. l can speak with au.
thority, because have been vice presi-

1t was made evident that there would
be no immediate open break between
himself and Roosevelt. At the same
time La Toilette announced he wouldn't
quit and that he was no stalking horse
for Roosevelt, as had been imputed in
unfriendly quarters. Taft's declaration
and that Of La Toilette put new ginger
into the situation, and since then (early
in january other developments have
served to further enliven things.
While of the five men prominently
talked Of as a presidential NOMINEE
Taft, Roosevelt, La Toilette, Hughes
and Cummins-Taft and La Toilette
alone openly proclaimed their candi-
dacy, booms for the others were built
up apace, and there were still others,
some Of which were booms only to
perish without ceremony.

THE TAFT TOUR
News leaked out as long ago as last
August that the work Of securing a re-
nomination for President Taft was
then under way, and little later the
piCSlueit SSI out u
tour Of the country which included an
invasion of the insurgents strongholds.
After his return to Washington prepa-
rations for the impending battle in his
behalf acquired new impetus. Then
came the declaration, on JAM 8, on
the authority Of President Taft him
self. that he was in the contest to the
end. Following this came Taft's spe-
cial Ohio itinerary in the same month.
In sense the president had already
fired the first gun in his new campaign
in the form of messages enumerating
his attitude on several big subjects.
Speaking Of tours and things, Senator
La Toilette has proved no laggard in
the pursuit of the nomination. The
Wisconsin statesman has been doing a
bit Of running around the country on
his own account.
