"The Thunderer's" Quiet Christmas.

London Times" 70 many II must have seemed
much as though mistletoe and holly had ceased TO

that Mr.. Lloyd George had indeed given death
blow to the British Constitution. Not Sunday, and
yet no Times. In the word Of the late Dominic
Sampson. "PrOdigious"'

odd weekdays lack an uttcrance from Printing

We have, however, a cheerful confidence that our
esteemed contemporaries nonappearance was quite
voluntary. 1t was not due to Mr.. Lloyd George

Human Nature at Its Worst.

savory evidence at the Schmidt murder trial earned
what she got. The morbid interest in filth that

instinct the world shows. II makes one wish
to apologize for being a human being
certain amount of morbid curiosity is present
in the most wholesome Of us. The instinct to stare

instinct and tries TO choke it down TO the credit

THE PUBLIC AND THE RAILROADS
There Never Was a Period Of Hostility
and Suspicion, 1t Is Asserted.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.

torially said: 1T Is an encouraging
thing for the railroads that public opin-
ion universally approves their request for
an Increase of freight rates. II Is proof
that the people are. after all. just. The
old period Of hostility and suspicion is
passing"
This. as editorial expression. is grace
fully good natured. but IL does not agree
with by-and-large circumstances which
conclusiyely indicate that there never
was period OF public hostility and sus-
picion; that there never trsnspired any
admissible evidence that the people stood
otherwise than just, that nothing ever
came TO be recorded demonstrating that
public opinion universally approves the

A Way Out of the Canal Tolls Mess.

Mr. AdamsOns joint resolution to suspend LOT
two years the free tolls section OF the Panama
Canal law points the way to an honorable escape
from an unfortunate national and International pre-
dcament The canal act was passed in haste by
Republican Congress- and the most vicious provision
I'm it-that ignoring the stlpulations Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty and exempting from tolls Amer-
can vessels engaged in the coastwise trade-was
specifically approved by the Democratic National
Convention Of 1872
Under these circumstances a repeal outright OF
the obnoxious exemption provision is hedged about
with political difficulties The canal is likely TO be
operated at loss for some time TO come. The def
cit will be eedlessly increased by the remission of
tolls TO American coastwise carriers, the govern
ment going into its pockets to give these carriers
practical subsidy. On economical grounds. as well
as on grounds of international obligation. the favor
shown TO American vessels will prove highly en-
barrassing.
n Congress insists remaining blind TO the
promises made 10 other nations in the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty IL may be aroused by the prospect OF
operating the canal at big yearly loss. All that
Mr. Adamson asks is that the subsidy to American
vessels be withheld for two years until fair idea
can be had Of the canals earning capacity. No
body's political record would be impugned by such
a precaution. nor would the Baltimore conventions

only be put In the attitude Of exercising ordinary

Easy Divorce to Save

A Philadelphia dispatch says: Free dom of divorce has not gone far enough. Divorcees, instead of being ostracised and regarded with suspicion, the race"
 With this statement Dr. Woods Hutchison astounded his hearers at the opening of a three days conference on "Mental Hygiene" Dr. Hutchin- son criticised the popular attitude which many physicians and laymen have taken toward the increase Tn the mental ailments of 50 per cent of the community.
 "While it is true that 50 per cent of the insanity in this country is heredi- tary," said Dr.. Hutchison, much is due to environment, and l know the stain could be weeded out by the pre- vention of parenthood among the men, tally unfit.
 "If woman marres man she lat CT finds is tainted with mental dis eases she should be allowed to divorce him without further delay and not dis couraged in her attempt to prevent her from propagating race of imbe- ciles.
 Standard of marriage must be raised so that the marriage of imbe- ciles is rarity. What should be done is the establishment of a bureau of pedigree.

The public should most certainly reverse it's position toward the woman who seeks to free herself from an alliance that will compel her to bring unfit children into the world.

Pot Holes of Gold.

Some of the af1luents of the Jurua and Japura rivers, as we'll as other streams in the northeast part of Peru, contain considerable gold. The rush of the waters in the wet seasons down the steep mountain sides have been acting as natural hydraulic plants for many centuries, washing away the shales and "rotten" quartz and depos- iting the coarse gold in the "potholes" in the bed of the streams. These ''pot. holes' are formed at the foot of small falls and rapids that occur along the streams. The bottom of some of the streams consists of layers of hard and soft, seamy bedrock, set edge wise across the bed of the stream, thus forming natural rifles, which have been catching and retaining the coarse gold for ages. Such places in the beds of the streams are known as the "pot- holes of geld. Some of these pot

Strike Shipping Ore.

If any lawyer in our city deserves to make a stake out of mines, it is J. E.. Russell. Before he began dispensing legal lore for consideration, he was a real hard-rock miner-and sometimes when the rock was soft, took desper. ate chances of injury as all miners do Mr. Russell has received word that a mine in Pinal county, in which he owns one-third interest, is the scene of a recent strike of ore which is near ly sure to put few thousand dollars in his pocket, and bids fair to make a big producer for the Keystone Devel. opment Company, now operating the property under bond and lease. The ore recently discovered is in the Isa- bella, one of group of claims about twenty miles from Casa Grande. The principal value contained in the ore is copper, although it also carries about one ounce of silver to each per cent, of copper. When word was re- ceived from the mine, the ore body had been crosscut distance of eight feet, carrying per cent copper throughout. The ore can be readily sorted to average l5 per cent. which with the silver content, will be a product which can be shipped to good advantage. An excellent wagon road leads from the mine to Casa Grande.

In the l200-f foot level of the Arkansas and Arizona streaks of rich sulphide ore were encountered. but the quan tity was not sufficient to create con- ment. The company then decided to follow the ore to greater depth, and a winze was sunk to an additional depth of 200 feet. at which depth a cross-cut is being run with results which indi- cate the existence of very large ore deposit.

Charles E. Flnney, president of the London Arizona Copper company, which is operating properties in the Christmas precinct of Gila county five miles from the end of the Arizona Eastern Winkleman extension. arrived In the city yesterday from the mines after two ,aonths spent there in super. intending the development work in that section. From the reports Mr. Finney brings with him the mines are opening up into one of the most re- markable lead properties in the world. The looks of the ore now being ex. tracted, most of which is of very rich variety, indicate another field similar to that which made Leadville famous In Colorado in the early days, except that instead of running out of lead into iron, London Arizona's property b.ds fair to run out into copper even richer than anything that has been yet discovered in this section. Since going to the Dripping Springs group of mines Mir. Finney has succeeded In finding a strip of lead 5000 feet stralghtaway from the indication on the property running along the sur face. Soundings show this to be enormously rich and to carry depth of from p to 100 feet. At present in one of the leads there is being taken from a ledge 20 feet square remark able rich ore that is being shipped to the Fl Paso shelter at the rate of 600 tons month of 30 per cent ore, and there'is now dump of LOGO tons awaiting the time when the Hayden shelter Is in shape to handle this grade Tn ore.-Arizona Republican

HE SORT OF PUTS TO FLIGHT THE
HIGH-TONED ONES IN EVEN DRESS
ANCE IN A FASHIONABLE NEW

When Luck McCarty, the heavy
weight white hope champion, was liv-
ing in Fargo and getting some of the
rough edges scraped off, he didn't cut
much ice as to a fashion plate. Here
is what a New York paper has to say
of his appearance in the metropolis
the night after his fight with frank
Moran:
Luther McCarty. heavyweight title
claimant did not arouse a great deal
of excitement as a result of his ten
round bout with Frank Moran of Pitts
burg, but he started something when
he walked into his hotel in fighting
toys and his bathrobe following the
bout.
THE bout with Moran was a more or
less tame affair and Luther did noth-
ing more than outpoint his man, but
he delivered a Knockout to the men
and women in evening dress at the
Hotel Marie Antoinette when he stroll
ed into the lobby with his bathrobe fol-
lowed by his trainers and seconds
When the hotel manager met McCarty
and found out who he was he looked
at the register and saw L. NMeCarty on
the book. The clerk had not known
however. that the L. stood for Luther.
The hotel is just across Broadway from
the st. Nicholas rink and McCafty
merely strolled over. .
