PURCHASING Power Of cold.

Many people find it difficult % IN.
derstand how the value of the dollar
can vary when one standard weight
OF gold is fixed by law as constituting
a dollar. The answer given in
treatises on economics, of course, Is
that gold is a commodity and, like
any other commodity, its value varies
according TO supply and demand The
most satisfactory explanation, how
ever, is the practical one that the
value of the dollar is always measured
by what it will buy, and that if prices
rise so that a dollar will buy only
three-quarters as much at one time
as 1t did at some former time the
value of the dollar has been actually
reduced by 25 per cent A bulletin
Just issued by the department of com

The Peacemaker.

Two fair sized newsboys engaged in
brisk encounter at the corner of
Sixth and Rockwell avenue the other
afternoon. 1t was hammer and tongs,
and uppercuts and jabs and jolts ali
over the sidewalk. The bigger boy
fought the smaller boy off bis
feet, but the latter came back
with redoubled fury. All about the
imaginary ring stood a circle Of grin
ming men-and every moment the
crowd grew larger. Interfere? Not
much. 1t wasn't that kind of a
crowd. And then when the melee was
at its thickest a middle-aged woman
hurriedly crossed the street, pushed
them apart, gave each of them a cuff
ing, spoke her mind to the audience
which suddenly stopped grinning-
and went her way. In thirty seconds
the crowd was scattered and gone II
was only little episode, but there
was big lesson in this neat and eff
ficient proof of the power of a deter

Premature Explosion Occurs Near
Fort Francis, Ont
SOME MISSING AND INJURED
Accident Happens on an Island In
Rainy Lake Where Big Bridge
Is Under Construction.

Fort Francis, Ont, Feb. 10.-Thir.
teen men are dead and five seriously
injured as the result of a premature
explosion of a charge of dynamite at
the construction works of the John
son-Cary camps on an island on Rainy
lake. eight miles east of here, where
the st. Paul firm of contractors is con
structing a three-mile bridge across
the north arm OF Rainy lake, making
heavy rock fills on the islands between
the bridge spans.
Twelve men were killed outright
and six seriously injured. One of the
injured has since died. There are
still some of the men unaccounted for,
so that the death list may be still fur
ther augmented before the search now
being prosecuted is finished.
The cause Of the explosion was the
premature discharge of one of the
holes charged with dynamite. The
gang of men, under Foreman Thomas
Casey OF Lebanon, Pa, had sunk sixty
four holes, at a uniform depth of fifty
W feet and one of the charges in the
holes, it is said, was not properly
placed and it was while this charge
was being taken out that it was set
off, the conclusion Immediately caus-
ing the other si%xty-three charges to
explode. The men were hurled into
the air along with tons of flying rock
and debris.
SO great was the explosion that
large pieces Of rock, the size of a
small house, were upheaved, while
the foreman, who had been standing
over one Of the holes, was blown into
the air $50 feet, the body landing
over near the Canadian Northern main
line, with both legs blown off and the
body frightfully disfgured,

ITS SURRENDER
UNCONDITIONAL
Chinese Throne Issues Edict
Of AbdiCatiOn.

Peking, Feb. 13.-After three centu-
ries OF absolute rule the Manchu dy.
nasty has yielded up it's power and alb
dicated the throne of China in favor
of a representative form of govern
ment. This was proclaimed in three
simultaneous edicts, the first announc-
ing abdication; the second declaring
that the throne accepted the republic
while the third approved all the condi-
tons agreed upon by Premier Yuan Shi
Kai and the republicans. This edict,
approving of all the conditions agreed
upon between Yuan Shi Kai and the
republican representatives, created
even much establishment. 1t has been
expected that the Manchus would de-
mand conditions which would safe
guard many of the privileges, but ac-
cording to the proclamation the sur
render is unconditional. The third
edict informed the viceroys and pro-
vincial governors of the retirement of
the throne from political power and
Instructed them to continue doing
their duty and to preserve order
throughout the land.

Large Audience Gathers tG Hear
Empire Builder.
TELLS PH|LAA7HROP|C STORY
Paid a Trifle Over Four Million DOL
lars for Ore Lands He Now VAL
ues at Five Hundred Millions.

Washington. Feb. 13.-James J.. Hill
entertained the Stanley steel COM
mittee and an audience composed of
three or four hundred persons with a
story of philanthropy that caused
every one present to sit up in open
eyed wonderment. In a matter of fact
tone, as if he were discussing the
weather or the signs of the times, the
Northwest railroad builder told the
story of how he acquired ore lands
in the Mesabi region that he now
values at $500, O0O, 900 for a mere baga-
selle of S4,050,O0O.
These ore lands, Mr.. Hill testified
under oath. covering an area of 80, 900
acres. were formerly the property of
Wright & Davis, a firm which oper-
ated a railroad and owned other prop
erty in the Mesabi region. Mr.. Hill
found out that this firm wanted to
sell and just as a deal was about to
be made with it by the Consolidated
company, a Rockefeller consern, the
head of the Great Northern stepped in
and closed the bargain at $4,000, 900.
MI. Hill turned, over his interest in
the newly acquired property to the
Lake Superior Consolidated company,
a corporation in which he, his three
sons, l.. w, j. w. ]. and J.. N. Hill,
and e. T. Nichols were the controlling
spirits. Mr.. H;,l testified that he
bought these ore lands for the benefit
of the shareholders of the Great
Northern. Asked if the Great North
ern had not supplied the funds that
enabled him to make the purchase
Mr.. Hill replied emphatically in the
negative.
Il have been working for my share
holders for t%hirty-three years." said
Mr. Hill. whenever I have seer an
opportunity to make money for myself
1t was an opportunity that turned to
the advantage of my shareholders"
Mr.. Hill was summoned by the com
mittee to tell about the relations be-
tween the Hill and the steel corpora
ton roads in the Mesabi country and
also to narrate the circumstances un-
der which the United States Steel cor
poratlon, represented by ]. P Morgan,
acquired the Hill ore properties under
lease.
Mr. Hill had barely commenced to
tell his story Of his operations in the
lake Superior region when an ad-
JoErnment was taken.

l0RlMER HEARINGS CLOSE
Inquiry One of the Most Exhaustive
: Ever Made.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Public hear
angs in the second senatorial ~investiga-
tion into the election of Senator Lori
u1er were declared closed by Chair
man Dillingham; of the senate Lori
mer committee. Attorney Hanecy.
representing Senator Lorimer, was
given permission to file a brief that
the senator's election had been ad-
Indicated before the present investi-
cation began and therefore it could
not be the subject of a second inves-
t1gation.
The inquiry has proved to be n
OF the most exhaustive ever made by
a congressional committee. In the
eight. months hearing about 10, 900
pages of printed testimony were
taken, constituting about 5,OO0,O 900
words. 1t is estimated that the stenog-

GIVES HIS OPINION
OF %PROGRESS|VES
President Declares They Are
"PO|itiCaI Em0ti0na|istS."

New York, Feb. 13.-President Taft
brought mis- celebration of Lincoln's
birthday to a close here with a DO
litical speech to the Republican club,
in which he declared that it was his
belief that Republicans would tri-
umph next November and defined his
opinion Of those of his own political
faith who call themselves progressives
but who, according to the president,
ARE political emotionalists or neu-
rotics."
For nine reasons, the president said,
the Republican party could be regard
ed as the party of progress. That
party, he said, had provided for the
"close regulation of corporations given
privileges by the state" had passed
and amended the interstate commerce
act, the employers liability law and
a law for a mining bureau; had pro.
vided for workmen's compensation and
mediation between railroads and their
employees. It was willing, he added, to
perfect the judicial procedure of the
federal courts, would revise the tariff
in accordance with sound principles of
economics, had advanced a policy of
conservation and stood for world
peace.

that as far back as 1850 there were
Burkes in this country and that since
that time they have been spreading
all w the country.
There are over 300 Burkes in this
city and all are enthusiastic over the
Burke movement. Work will begin at
once and every Burke in the United
States will be asked to take part in
this novel campaign. Irrespective of
political belief every Burke will be
told that it is his duty to the name of
Burke to get out and hustle for Cover
nor Burke.
According to statistics in the hands
of local Burkes there in not a city In
the United States that hasn't a Burke.
