Amos has the sort of friendship tina en-

And that for your helping never halts:
Amos tells you kindly-tells you quickly,
IL he thinks you're looking rather bad:
Amos always comes in when you're glum
and blue,
And to find you SO makes Amos glad.
Amos skidiu,ns sometimes hears some
body say
Something as to you or hat you've
done.
Something in n gcnial, complimcnting
Amos merely waits till they've begun:
Then lie interrupts them, says no doubt
they're right,
But that when folk come to know you
we'll
They know then you've not been ever
what you might
And you never will be. truth to tell,
Amos feels so for you. he is filled with
pain
When he sees the many ways you fail:
Amos will not praise you, that would
make you vain
Amos always brings a gloomy tale.

Amos Skidjumps comes on happy feet.
Bursts right in upon you with a wild

That at once he may the roast repeat.
You know Amos s%kidjums-he of gleeful

When he says he's heard somebody
knock,
When he comes to see you with his gen.

Just to give your vanity a shock.
Amos thinks that friendship is a means
to help
If its functions are but understood:
That is why he brings you every little
yelp
From our foes, for that is for your

The Apex Law.

Senator Reed Smoot, OF Utah, has,
introduced in congress, bill to abolish
the apex. right now existing under the
law governing the location, and possess
sion of government mineral lands. The
measure also proposes to make it. obi
gatory upon the locator to proceed to-
patent within seven years. or forfeit his
rights. Although the full text of the
bill has not yet reached the west, 1t has
already begun to excite discussion.
1t is true that the doctrine of the
apex right has been discussed extern
sively for years.. but to great degree
in an academic way, and difference of
opinion has never been. absent. But
among a great many operators the SUBJ
iect has never aroused that interest
that comes from the prospect OF prac-
teal effects. Just now the only views
which we have heard expressed are in
opposition to the change. The fear is
that the abolition of the dip rights will
be unfavorable and discouraging to the
prospector. In the language of one
operator, the average vein dips at an
angle that brings it out Of the side
lines at about 'the point where real
ore begins to appear" 1t is certainly
true, as President Taft has said, that
the apex theory is fixed and understood
and it is for this reason that the presi-
dent believes the Inconvenience of a
new system would now outweigh the
benefit to be gained by the change.
But some men in the field still cling to
the opinion that the apex law was right
when enacted and should continue on
the statute books. In passing upon
the proposal so much must depend
upon the compensatory privileges that
the Smoot bill allows, that we are not
willing to offer any views until the full
text of the measure is consulted. Min
ing Science will be pleased to receive
the opinions of it's readers when they,
too, have examined the matter. Sim
liar measures have been introduced in
congress in the past, but the Smoot
bill appears to be influentially inspired.
AS to the question of compelling a
claimant to proceed to patent within
seven years, here too is a probable
cause of objection from the so-calleo
prospecting class. At the end of five
years, if only the annual assessment
work is done, locator is entitled tt
patent Rather than wait for the sever
years to expire, it would be better fol
him to use the 5000 required in annua
work for the two following years to de
fray patenting expenses. The mai
who will feel this amendment the mos
is he who performs his own assessment
work with his own hands and prefer
to hold his title by development
One feature of the Smoot bill mus
have the approval of all, and this i
the provision which requires that
notice of location must be filed with tn
government land office. Remarkabl
as it may seem, the government ha
never possessed. any record of clair
locations on it's own domain. 1t
logical that it should, and we see n
hardship in the requirement. Mimi

Genesis of the Taft-RooseVeIt
Controversy.

The spectacle of President Taft and
ex-President Roosevelt going about
upon the hustings and entering the
public prints in denunciation and abuse
of each other is not an edifying or
worthy spectacle, however interesting
and absorbing it may be, Judge Taft
fully appreciates the gravity of his
doing so, and evidently enters upon so
disagreeable task with reluctance and
regret. He ascribes the necessity for
his doing so as indicative of the dis
ordered state of politics and public
feeling, and that is true. That is
really the serious and menacing aspect
of the whole situation. 1t is not that
Taft or Roosevelt, reactionary or radi-
cal, republican or democrat, should win
the nomination and the election, but it
is that whoever wins the nomination
and election should have to cater to a
low aiiC s1hamed condition of popular
feeling, such condition as alone has
produced the present controversy be-
tween these leaders of thought and

wielders of power. Under such cir
it is hardly possible to ex
pect the public business to be trans
acted efficiently or the laws to be
written with soberness and wisdom.
Necessarily government becomes a
thing of faction. of prejudice or par
TALLY. That is what running all to
government means, that is what '1et
the people rule" signifies, in that the
public at large are drawn into unceas-
ing political activities and away from
their more serious private affairs. the
power of office becomes magnified, and
everything goes to the dogs pending the
fate of an election, while no sooner is
one election. decided than another is
prepared for, and so on, world without
end That is the real and the grave
onus of this controversy, and of others
like it, as we verify behave. rather
than the merit or demerit of the iden-
teal quarrel, fraught as that is with
such deep significance.
Of course, it is not to be expected
that anyone is going to abandon his
,favorite,, his party or his faction be-
cause of these developments and on the
contrary will be inclined to cling closer
against the enemy. There is, however,
one thing that can be done, and will
have to be done, sooner OF later, If we
ever expect to have peace, safety and
orderly liberty. At this time there are
pending this state and in other states
proposals to further enlarge the ''power
of the people," that is, to further in
volve them in political activities, and
they can be voted down summarily and
thus political business be kept in its
proper place and for its proper time.
We can do that much anyhow, and hav-
ing done that, the day is not distant
when the state will felicitate itself over
and over again on having had the fore
