have been conditions, which at the outset justified these now called wrongs, but as business increased, and the wrongs increased, the public mind got busy and then the public baked, and the cleaning up campaign
 started.
 We will never see the day when ev- erything is perfect, but we should re joice that we are seeing the day when mans confidence in the business of his country is being restored, when the capitalist feels he, can take his money out of his bank, and trust it once more to the. producing business world, when foreign capital again seeks investments in the country. And how do we know this? I tell you we haven't to go further than our own door to find the proof.
 < You know to what I refer, to the building of the new smelter and pow CT plant of the Arizona Copper Com pany, at the stock yard, and to the enlargement of it's concentrator at Mo renci. What does that mean to this district I and to the town of Clifton, and to the individuals who have invested their money in business and homes here?
 It. means this: The Directors of the Arizona Copper Company did not sim ply come out here and take look at the present old shelter and power plants, and say They are old and out of date and we must have new ones. y Instead they said to their Manager, Before we talk new plant, you have got to show us beyond all possible doubt, and by most careful eXamina tions and reports, that the mining
 property owned by the company will | justify the raising of additional mon ey, and it's expenditure on new works. ' | The management did so, and their findings were confirmed by outside
 mining experts, assuring to the Direc
 tors life to their properties sufficient l to justify them in going ahead. Not
 only that, but the same, and addition
 al, expert knowledge were applied to
 the designing of the various plants.
 with the result that the new plant
 when completed will be able to treat la lower grade ore than is being treat
 ed at present, thereby lengthening the ] life of the property.
 Our town here will be freed from the noise and smoke of a plant right | in our midst, without losing any bus 1 mess. In fact, the new plant should bring new business. Other improve ments here are bound to follow, hav- 1 ing only been held back pending the settlement of the larger and more i'm portant matter.
 This means permanency for the Town of Clifton, and more activity for the entire district. The actual prop erty developed is small as compared with the total area of mining property and with the copper outlook as it is, I look for more active development in this district than we have ever seen before. I hope to see the properties that have been closed down through the times of low prices opened up again, new enterprises started, and more capital seeking investment.
 We here have to look to copper for our bread and butter, and the man in the copper business has had hard and trying time of it these recent years, but 1912 dawns with our troub-

les greatly lessened. The doubt sur rounding the copper market really, this time, seems to have cleared. Ev- erywhere you find the spirit of optim- ism, and during the past two or three months, 1 have not met single man interested or posted in the copper in duStry, taking a peSSimiStic view of the situation. Such is the outlook, and its realization speels prosperity. Gentlemen, it is not up to the Copper Companies alone to bring about that realization, it is up to every man as a citizen to help bring it about.
 It is needless for me to tell you that we will have a new Legislature meeting in the new State in a short time, new State, County and Town of ficials taking office, and in their hands to very great extent, depends the start in life our new State will get. If that start is right, our outlook could not be brighter. If the start is wrong, the ram wrought will take years to cure. The problem is serious, and must not be taken lightly, so let us, where ever we can, use our influence in the right direction, hoping to real ize that bright outlook. which condi- tionS in general are offering us now. In. other words, let us seize the oppor- tunity.
 Locally, here in Clifton, things are far from satisfactory. We do not get along very well. l am a corporation official, but notwithstanding that fact, I think I am a fairly honest man. I know most of the other local corpora tion officials, and know they are hon. est men. I believe most of you gentle men, if not all of you, believe them to be honest men, but just as soon as these same men take certain action for. the interest and protection of, not only the large institutions, but also the large taxpayers they represent, their rights in the eyes of many disap- pear, and they and the interests they represent are singled out, almost threatened, and made to realize that if we, as officers, intend to do our duty to the interests which are paying us to do it, we must say to our lawyers, these are matters you must take to Court The local representatives evi- dently wish it that way"
 It is business proposition with us, gentlemen, and calls for handling in businesslike way. There is nothing small, petty, or personal connected with it. Our regret is that such things are necessary. I believe, gentlemen, that a spirit of cooperation could soon alter the complexion of local condi- tions, as between the people through their representatives, and the compan- ies, and I hope the day is not far dis tant when the people will feel the same way, and we can all work in harmony for the welfare of the en- tire county and community.
 Hon. Lamar Cobb was the last speaker of the evening. His remarks were impromptu interspersed with To- cal hits and personal allusions to pc IiticaI campaigns in general and kept the banqueters in a roar of laughter at different times. MT.

I was on the ticket with MT. Bryan, appeared with him and MT.

Gov Harmon's attention was called to a statement in an editorial in the Indianapolis Star that during MT Bry- ans last campaign "a young daughter of Gov. Harmon, not yet trained in the importance of not repeating her fath- CTS remarks made in the seclusion of the domestic circle, wrote to her dear friend, a Texas Miss, that papa hoped for MT. Bryan's defeat because it would make his own presidential pros poets brighter"
 The Governor said: q heard of this story once before but thought it too absurd to notice. I cannot pass it now that it finds place in the editorial column of paper of good standing.

Section SD, article s, School Laws
of Idaho, enacted by the Eleventh
general assembly, provides, "And
to determine the rate of tuition Of
nonresident pupils; Provided: That
any pupil or pupils of the eighth
grade who are of high school quail
fcations Of any district, shall be el-
igible to attend any high school
within his county without paying to
ition, but the county superintendent
shall transfer from the district to
which said pupil or pupils belong to
the district holding the high school
attended, sum of money bearing
the same proportion to the amount of
money received by the district dur
ing the year. as said pupil or pupils
bear to the total school census of the
district in which such pupils belong"
If ] have right understanding Of
the above portion of article So, the
trustees of Nezperce High School
are unlawfully collecting tuition
from high school pupils Of this coun-
ty. Not only are they collecting tu-
ition from pupils who live outside
their district, but collect tuition from
pupils that they have enumerated on
their school census roll for the year
they have attended. In other wrrds,
they draw and use the moneys drawn
from the county and state by the pu-
pii, and also charge and collect full
tuition.
This may be all right and legal,
but it doesn't look that way. Il
would, no doubt, be of very great in
terest to the people who are con-
cerned in the schools Of Lewis coun-
ty, If the clerk of the board of trus-
tees of Nezperce public school would
cause to be published in The Herald
a statement citing the laws under
which he claims the right to collect
tuition from tine high school pupils
Of Lewis county-especially from
those whom he has enumerated on
the school census.
This is a question of general pub
lie interest and should be handled
frankly. c. s. Newkirk,

an independent district is to get addi-
tional powers not conferred on other
districts and one of the powers espe-
cially enumerated is "the right to
determine the rate of tuition paid or
to be paid by nonresident pupils, :"
which high school districts cannot do
unless they are independent districts.
ANY district can establish high
school if it is able to do so, without
asking any one outside the district,
but anlindependent district is created
by petition and by the county COM
missioners.
AS to Mr.. Newkirk's further
query: The records show that our
school trustees do not collect tuition
from pupils enumerated, nor draw a
dollar Of county or state money from
high school pupils who do not live
in the district.
Would it be reasonable or fair to
allow nonresident Of the district
to have free use Of its high school
when every ranch owner In the dis
trict, whether he has school children
or not, pays several times the mod
crate tuition this district charges in
special taxes to keep up the school7

Why Colonel Refused
TO Quit Speech
DIDN'T THINK SHOT WAS FATAL
AND PREFERS TO DIE WITH
BOOTS ON.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-An interesting
conversation which occurred on the
platform of the Auditorium at Mil
waukee just after Roosevelt quit his
speech and permitted himself to be
examined by. the doctors was reveal
ed this afternoon. DR.. Tyrell sat
waiting nervously for the colonel to
conclude his remarks and then as
soon as he could speak to the former
president the doctor said:
Colonel l never spent such an un-
comfortable hour and half in my
life as did sitting on this platform
wondering where that bullet was in
you. It was all very we'll for you to
say that it wasn't in a fatal place, but
you couldn't be sure.''
Col. Roosevelt's reply was: mo,
couldn't be sure, but felt very con-
fdent that it was not in ap lace where
much harm could follow. Therefore
I wanted to make that speech. More.
over, in the very improbable event
of the bullets being in a fatal place,
l thought would rather die with my
boots on"
