THE CHARGE DIRECT.

Between now and December Boies
Penrose OF Pennsylvania must devote
considerable time to the preparation
Of his defense Of his seat In the SEN
ate. As one result Of his cuttlefish
operations. the Keystone senator has
brought about challenge of his right
to membership In the upper house of
congress. In the North American of
last Sunday the charge is made d.
rectly. Offer is made to furnish
proof of the bribery. fraud and cor
ruption by which the election OF PEN
rose was accomplished. And the prep
aration OF his defense will require a
good deal Of the Pcnrosc time. He
will not be able to give as much at
tention as he had expected to the Taf;
campaign. But that attention would
have been wasted, anyway. and the de-
fense Of his seat is also likely to
prove as ineffective as that of Lori
mer. But 1t will ktcp Pcnrose busy.
And Barnes can't heip him there.

one to each division of their political

90 YOUR PART.

To every citizen OF Missoula thera
should be a personal appeal in the
request Of the state university that
local employment be found for ambi-
tious students who are dependent
upon their own labor for the means 10
obtain the education which they seek.
This is not an appeal for charity; the
young people desire to render full
value received for what they get; they
want real work and they want reul
ray for what they do. There are
many merchants and householders In
Missoula who have work which these
young people can perform during leis-
ure hours. Each citizen who has an
opportunity of this sort should not de-
lay in notifying either the president
of the university or the secretary Of
the chamber OF commerce.

The Mexican Situation

silver or more a year. This knocked
the bottom out of the industry for
awhile, but by the opening of the rev.
olution prices were profitable again.

the revolution began, were giving en-

CAMPAIGN ATTACK NO. 1.

fered by Standard Oil in all the

II has figured.
Yet Archbold is allowed to de-
part for Europe unquestioned upon
any part Of the Penrose scandal

made against Theodore Roosevelt.
And Roosevelt himself is refused
an opportunity TO give the senate

Why is this?
The answer Is plain. The PEN

Nothing contributes more toward
bad conditions In Mexico today than
the peculiar mining situation that OBJ
tains there. From the very earliest
times OF Spanish rule In Mexico its
silver miles have been among the
richest In the world, and many have
been the castles in Spain as well as In
Mexico that have been built by the
silver that has been taken out of the
mines of Mexico. The "bonzana
kings" of our own western country
made vast fortunes out of their min
ing properties, but these were small
In comparison with some of the great
piles OF wealth hcaped up in Mexico.
With the advent of the mining and
metallnrgical engineer waning in
dustry was revivified and made to

the cyanide process came the utlliza-
tion of the vast dumps of mine tail

an abandoned mine has been forced
into a yielding operation with result
that the mines Of Mexico have been
one of the prir Il pll sources of the nat
tional wealth and income.
There are today more than $4,000
gold and silver mining claims regis
tered with the Mexican government,
their total area aggregating 100000
acres. In addition to this there urc
upward of 100000 acres of claims COW

gold and silver In which the ores OF

bulk of these claims are to be found
In that region where the revolution is
most persistent, and consequently u
has hit the mining interests OF the
country very hard.
The total output of silver before the
revolution was close to $50. .OOO, 900 an :

He came home seemingly as fond

was fixed, her happiness beyond all
expression.
Soon, however, she noticed a change
In him, he was distracted and brood

To her questions he made the one
careless reply--it was all her imagi-

Then one night they went TO ball
together. and she noticed lovely but
fragile girl, who, she learned, had re-
turned from India on the same vessel

She was about TO ask him some
question concerning her. when the CIR.

mans eyes. A long eager look they
exchanged. while my ''rnignonette

fell and she moved slowly, hesitatingly
away from him. with her fowerlike
face white as death.
The man stood rigid staring after
her with his hands ctenched and teeth
set; then he drew a sharp Sigh, and
turned TO his promised wife
