COURT RESTRICTS
LEASING OF MINES.

A decision has been handed down by
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals, sitting at St. Louis, which owners
of rich mining corporations say will
greatly retard the industry in every
mining state in the union.
The decision holds, in brief, that cor
porations cannot ificumber their proper
ty by action of the officers or directors.
Approval must be given by the stock
holders.
To carry out the decision it will be
necessary for stockholders to travel
thousands of miles to attend frequent
meetings of corporations, they say. It
takes away authority of practically ev-
cry kind, formerly exercised by the Of
ficers Of mining and other corporations.
The directors of mining companies are
forbidden TO make leases without meet
ing Of stockholders.
The mining men who have learned Of
the ruling fear it will have the effect of
paralyzing the leasing business in Colo
RADIO as well as other states.
The decision was given in the case Of
Lisi Westerlund against the Black Bear
Mining company of Telluride and J. B.
Bailey. Oscar Mantyle. president, and
Henry Kaanta, secretary, signed a five-
year lease of the $500, 900 plant of the
Black Bear at Telluride without stock
holders meeting. It gave an exclusive
right to take out all ores on every claim
of the company.
The stockholders, represented by Wes.
terlund, Michigan resident, and others,
say the lease was SO broad that it not
only gave the Black Bear lessees all the
claims, but took in everything but the
office chairs. They say it was a virtua
sale, as the lessees had chance to re.
move every bit of ore in sight in five
years, were they diligent enough.
The higher court held that mining
lease is an incumbrance on mining prop
erty and hence comes under the provi
sions of the statute which forbids incum
brances without stockholders meetings

quit the navy at San Diego or any
where else for John d. Spreekles's pri-

been among the first and lon6est to
condemn n cabiiiet member who should
give even the appearance of hobnoh-

now we find him accepting the use OF
the Spreckles automobile and OF the
Spreckeis s200,0Gs private yacht. for
saking the navy and his own Demo-
cratic principles for the nonee TO revei

The underlying thought of all this Is
in the very strong probability that Mr..
Daniels, before he attained to position
of Influence in the national administra-
ton, might have travelled UP and down
the Pacific coast a dozen times with
out receiving an offer of the Spreckies
hospitality or of the lavish entertain
ment which he has received from other
enterprising interests out that way. III
he can utterly resist the influence of
such an experience, however honestly
he may try, he is an unusual man.

Save the Boys and Girls.
Editor Kennebec Journal:

Editor Kennebec Journal:
have Just this minute read your
editorial in this mornings issue on
horse racing and l want to say Amen
and Amen to the sentiments expressed
therein. Maine can well get along
without any sport or enterprise, the
financial success of which depends on
disregard for laW-the degrading OF
our boys and young men by gambling
and rum selling.
But with you / agree that the lack
Of attendance at Mr. Hanks races
was not so much because these evil
features We're suppressed, but because
of the great variety of sports and pas
times to claim the attention of the
public and the extremely busy time OF
year with all the country people. who
largely make up the crowd at the fairs
and gatherings of a similar nature.
When / saw Mr.. Hanks three great
meets advertised, said should think
it very remarkable, indeed. If he could
secure even fair attendance at this
season of the year and three meets
following in succession.
However, whether horse racing or
any other sport can be made a success
in Maine or not, our State should be
kept clean. Our boys and girls, men
and women are its greatest and best
asset and the higher and more noble
the character of them. the better will
be our State; and we need never fear
for it's prosperity for righteousness
exalteth nation, but sin is reproach
to any people"
Yours truly,
JAMES II. AMES.

The "Witticisms" of the L. j.

The Lewiston Journal. after repeatinf
a bout Peters being nominated at a con.
vention of three in the Bangor House
has been forced to retraet and openly
proclaim that it had not the slightest
foundation on which to base the asser-
ton. 1t crawls down a third of col
umn and attempts to escape through a
knothole that it was "witticism' OF
a Progressive speaker at Waterville
and had become history through its
oft-repeated publication of the lie.
If ever a man was fairly nominated
at primary in response to "the office
seeking the man. it was Mr. Peters.
The field was open and wide. Indeed
Mr.. Peters himself tried to induce the
size convention to enter the primaries
against him. He pledged himself, In
case the Progressive was nominated,
to work for that gentleman's election,
the winner to take any party title he
and his friends desired.
If the Progressive strength is as great
as the Lewiston Journal claims, would
this not have been perfectly fair and
lust, and almost as easy as it is for the
Lewiston Journal to repeat its false
hoods?
We wonder if the Progressive candi-
date was not sought for by that party
leaders before the convention. Would
the Androscoggin blazer have its read
ers understand that the sight and ad-
dress of its candidate at Waterville
created a spontaneous outburst That
mt all other possibilities in the shade?
WHY not be fair and honest, for once.
and admit that all its assertions are
as baseless as its silly repetition that
Mr. Peters was nominated at con-
yention of three in a private room, be-
hind closed doors at the Bangor
House?"
The people of the Third district see
very little wit in such dishonest decla-
rations, whether they are made In party
conventions or in an organ notorious
W abnsiye and unreliable in its partisan
utterances.
OF course, as the Lewiston Journal
saws. 1.-THE matter is not of great I'M
,ortance. since 1t has only appeared
in it's own columns, but 1t would nave
been important If it had appeared IN
any other newspaper in Maine. NOT

1t might he well for the Lewiston

send a real newspaper man into the
territory to investigate, instead of writ

If the Lewiston Journal were as sus-

suggest to some watchers that the deft
MANIPULATION of Dan Mack was figur-
ing in a triumvirate in attempt to de-
feat Peters.
But it will not work. John A. Peters
is the man of the hour, and no COM
bination of political trieksters can rob
him of the peoples confidence and sup
port.
In two weeks of campaign, eondi-
lions have changed from 1T is Peters

Two big and impressive marking
stamps are upheld before the voters
Of the Third district. One is ZAP
PROvAL' and the other is "DISAP-
PROVAL" The first is personified by
w. r. Pattangall; the second by John
A. Peters.
Shall the voters of the Third dis
trict stamp their approval on the tar
iff product of Southern free trade,
ruination policy?
Or, are they to express their Disap-
prevail of vastly worse than "reciproc-
ity." a policy which caused $4,000 Re-
publicans of the district to turn away
from Taft?
1t is only necessary to credit the
voters OF Central Maine with native
common sense and the answer is plain.
They will vote for their homes and
interests. They will vote their rebuke
of Democratic bosses who turned down
Sam Gould because he voted against
the liquor interests. They will vote
their contempt for those who opposed
workmen's compensation and woman
suffrage.
The days when party was so far
superior in mems minds to principle,
have passed. The ties of trickery dis
guised as party loyalty no longer bind
Men who stand for things and who
have proved it by the record of their
acts are wanted on the firing line.
John A. Peters is one of these and
honest and fair Democrats have paid
him tribute. He has stood for and
worked for what others making high
ed and louder pretense have opposed
and these things he has stood for are
now demanded by the people.
The support of John A. Peters is
growing every hour and not even a
combination Of opposing forces can
now defeat him. we are convinced He
is to be the next congressman from
