Is HE QUALIFIED?
est. Louis Globe Democracy.

President Wilson has been In office
not quite six months, and the same
period covers his entire experience in
Washington. But more than any 9TH
CIR president he has undertaken per-
sonally to shape the policies of the
government. He began with tariff re-
vision and insisted that the ways and
means committee should 60 farther In
the direction of free trade than 1t had
intended The president dictated free
sugar and free wool because these
schedules gave the bill the free trade
doctrinaire's particular mark. Since
taking the place of the house in orig
mating a revenue measure the presi-
dent has sent personal representative
to Mexico charged with urging there
the presidents individual views In
the natural course of diplomatic af-
fairs we would have had an ambassa-
dor at the Mexican capital whose con-
firmation by the senate would have
preceded his performance Of the dut-
les of the position. All this the pres
ident managed to put aside to take up
on himself the originative action and
without due regard to the letter and
spirit of the constitution.
No president could be qualified t.
the legislative action Of
the government in this manner. In
both instances the president has fore
stalled or ignored the rightful power
of congress, adopting course sug-
costing that he is virtually thinking
and acting without considering that
there are coordinate departments uf
the government. He may or may not
be proceeding in the spirit of conscious
egotism but the policies he keeps at
the front are evolved by himself, and
without regard to the constitutional
pointed out. Free sugar
and free wool are in the tariff revision
without reference to other minds, that
free trade must be made definite and
emphasized. Governor Lind as envoy
acted as substitute for an ambassa-
lorial representative confirmed by the
senate. What changes the president
1as decided ON for currency will soon
appear. His idea of running the coun-
ry is to get all the policies out Of his
,wn head and then put on the press
ire of executive influence. He will
discover that there are other heads
han his own, and most probably bet
er ones.

.IA|uNGS QUESTION
IS BEING ELIMINATED
WALLACE RESIDENT NOTES IN
DIRECT BENEFITS As MILL
ING METHODS IMPROVE.

| AS milling improvements progress,
the former troublesome tailings ques-
ton seems to be taking care of itself,
so far as Wallace in particular and
much Of this upper portion of the
camp Is concerned.
Commenting on this feature the 9TH
err day prominent resident of Wal
lace, one who has had about q years
of observation here, said:
Il notice that the channel of the
South Fork as 1t flows through the
city keeps clear of accumulation of
tailings. and what you do see are fine
and light and seem to be easily NOV
ing.
Il attribute this largely to several
causes: First there Is much finer
crushing than heretofore of larger
portion of the product of all the mills
above. This is to secure greater saw
ing Of the valuable metals. This in
creased saving from finer crushing
serves double purpose-that of
eliminating coarse tailings and re-
tanning the heavier substances which
have the values. Consequently what
goes into the stream as waste Is a
much finer and lighter substance than
heretofore and is moved more easily
by the current"
This observer seems to have tho
idea, and If so the tailings
question will continue to grow less
troublesome as milling methods adj
vance.

An Interesting Report.


The report describes the mode of oc-
currence and origin of the ore depos-
it's and the method of treatment en-
ployed for the different types of ore.
1t also contains a description Of the
individual mines and prospects Of the
area. This publication is of value not
only to. those concerned with mining
within the area covered but to all who
are interested in general geologic pro-
cesses or in the theories of the forma-
ton Of ore deposits.
THE Philipsburg area presents some
exceptional opportunities for the study
of certain problems, such as faultng,
igneous metamorphism and the en-
richment of ores and these are fully
discussed
THE report Is published as profess
