LEASE SYSTEM PoRTENDs
MINING BOOM IN HILLS

Deadwood. S, d., July 15.--It ~ APP

mining. The idea formerly prevailed
that leasing never could become popu-
lar here on account OF the low grade
character of the ore, but the very OPP
posite Sof this is now held by many
good mining men who contend that II
IS the only way the low grade proper
ties can be made to Yield q profit. IL
lis argued that leasers will handle the
ore more economically and carefully,
Sorting II thoroughly into different
grades, cutting out all waste material
and thereby saving not only the ex-
pense of transporting worthless
TO the mill but cost Of treating also
stuff that has no value.
Another fact IL obvious also and that
is that nearly every property produces
some ore which may be considered high
grade. III the ore is mined carefully 1t
is found that q certain percentage OF
II. lying perhaps in narrow yerticals,
or In nat blankets, will run as high as
$50 to $50 PET ton, which canno be
considered low grade ore at ell and
will be considered shipping ore any
where. At the anne time a second
grade of ore running from So TO SO
per ton can be mined which under mod
ern conditions and the low cost OF
treatment now possible by cyanide,
can be shipped TO the local plants n
4be made to pay all the costs, practical
ly, of working the property.

TAX COMMISSION IS
IN SESSION AT DEADWoop

Deadwood, s.. D., July 12.-For the
particular purpose of forcing an equit-
able assessment OF the Homestake
mining property, the state tax COM
mission is holding a session here, The
completed figures of the Lead assessor
give the Homestake a valuation of
SS;218, 92561. Under the present as
sessment plan this should be the actual
valuation, but statistics are available
that the company has been paying diyi-
dends on more than $50, 0O0, 900 of stock
holdings and IL LIS commended that the
company's actual valuation should not
be less than $25,000,000.

sion members listened TO arguments on

POLITICAL ACTION WOULD

KUSMANS.

Last week, Herman Kusman, who
had been a member of the police force
of Cincinnati, Ohio, for twenty-six
years, was dismissed from the. force
by order of Safety Director Cash and
Chief of Police Copeland for neglect
of duty"
It was charged that Kusman refused
to protect" the strikebreakers en-
ployed by Ault & Wiborg, printing ink
manufacturers, from an alleged attack
by striking teamsters, and that he
even threatened himself to assault
the strikebreakers. Another of the
charges was that Kusman spoke dis
respectfully" of the firm employing
the scabs.
This cop must have been one of
those on duty at Socialist street cor
ner meetings.

everything that is in the air and focus
it in burning words that shall arouse
enthusiasm whenever they are heard.
This would mean a mixture of base
ball, bridge, and bunco; of poker, polo
and appendicitis; of greed, graft and
gastronomy; of vanity, vulgarity and
of hot air, haste and hypoc-

AUGUST BEBEL.
Grand old Man Of Reiohstag Passes
Away.


I'm the autobiography of August
Bebcl he says: ut Is my personal
conviction that even the most remark
able and influential men are often
more the thing driven than the driv-
ing power. Man can do little more
than help into being that which in n
given state of society is pressing on
ward to the realization and recogni-
ton which are essentially it's due.
This being MY belief. | have been
saved from regarding my own aetiv-
tiles as anything more than those of
willing helper at birth, of whose
origin he is entirely innocent"
This fundamental Bebel not only
held as truth in theory but he lived
by It in action during more than fifty
years of fighting-fighting marked by
bitter poverty and the crown of dis
tinguished leadership, by years of
selfsacrifice, suffering and imprison-
ment, and also by the love and admir-
alton accorded in full measure by tens
of millions of the worlds working peo-
pie. The international Socialist move
ment has produced at least its quota of
selfish careerists and conceited prigs.
When it produces a MAN. a real one,
whose life is great with service to his
class and to civilization, Socialists
yield in giving praise. Bebel has said
how little the individual can do. Look
ing at his labors with a calmness
which time and distance permit, it is
for us now to testify how much as an
individual he did.
The international movement has
produced during sixty-five years only
three men whose services compare
with those of August Bebel-Marx,
Engels and Liebknecht. These four
worked in pairs, Marx and Engels as
secluded scholars in London, doing
work without which later progress
would have been unthinkable; Lieb-
knecht and Bebel accepting fully the
intellectual heritage of their predeces-
sors, organized and led the movement
which the scholarship of Marx and
Engels had proven to be necessary to
the emancipation of the working class.
In My Life, Bebel has given us

THE NATIONAL WAR" HUM.
BUG"

The highest heroic effort of which
old society is still capable is national
war; and this is now proved to be a
mere governmental humbug, intended
to defer the struggle OF the classes,
and to be thrown aside as soon as
that class struggle bursts out in civil
war. Class rule is no longer able to
disguise itself in a national uniform;
the national governments are ONE as

I AM READY TO DIE.

Confined from Page One, Column 81
tically every thing that is good and
desirable in even our present form of
society All we really propose is the
further extension of these principles
to all the social uses of the people,
How do we propose then to ac-
complish these ends most worthy in
our conscientious view? The plat
form of the Socialist party adopted at
Indianapolis in 1912 provides in the
nineteenth provision of our political
demands, for
"The calling of convention for the
revision of the constitution of the
United States"
And if we had won the election
such a convention would now be sit
ting. We Socialists know these things,
know them well, and we know that if
the fundamental laws are upheld we
can proceed with our lawful educa-
tional methods and advisability of our
program in the light of reason and
investigation. But suppose the laws
are not upheld. Suppose the laws
are subverted and nullified at your
hands, gentlemen, as you are showing
even in the attitude of your courts an
astonishing tendency to do. Then
there would be no law, would there?
Or are you contemplating the rule of
the mob, of violence and physical
force as your law? We cannot say.
We cannot say. We have simply not
reckoned upon that contingency. We
only know that although individuals
among us are suffering under your
prosecutions and your convenient for
getfulness of your own laws-perhaps
many of us will continue to do so,
perhaps many of us are to die defense
less at the hands of your mercrenar
les, but in the meantime our cause
prospers signally. We have hoped
that this toddling world had advanced
far enough that its further steps in
progress might be taken in less pain
and less travail. But you are the mas
tiers. Have it as you will.
