ROOT TO RETIRE.

1t Is understood in Washington that
Senator Root will not seek reelection
and that on the 4th of next March he
will retire from public life. The sena-
tor is now 60 years old, and he has
stated to his friends that he feels that
he should be relieved from the labor
and responsibility Of public service. It
is perfectly natural that he should feel
lose his services He is one Of the few
real statesmen who now occupy seats
in the United States senate. His WIS.,
ion Of public questions is not limited
by state lines, nor does he shape his
course to catch each fitful breeze which
from time to time creates ripple on
the political sea. AS secretary of war,
as secretary of state and as senator
his career has been one of rare bril-
liancy and success, and without the
slightest manifestation of desire or
design to make 1t appear for more
than it's real worth. There Is no gal
lery play" in the makeup of Senator
Root, and yet few men have won the
plaudits and admiration Of the people
to greater extent than he. He has
earned the rest that he now seeks, and
yet there is a feeling in the hearts of
millions of his countrymen that the on
ly fitting end to his splendid career Is
at least one term as president Of the
republic.

WASHINGTON TO WILSON.

| (From the Farewell Address)
| 1t is important, likewise, that the
habits of thinking, in free country,
should inspire caution in those en-
trusted with its administration to con-
fine themselves within their respective
constitutional spheres; avoiding, in the
exercise of the powers of one depart
ment, to encroach upon another The
spirit of encroachment tends to con-
solidate the powers OF all the depart
ments in one, and thus to create, what
ever the form Of government, a real
despotism A just estimate of that
love of power and proneness to abuse
it which predominant in the human
breast is sufficient to satisfy us of the
truth of this position. The necessity
Of reciprocal checks in the exercise of
political power, by dividing and dis
tributing into different repositories
and constituting each the guardian of
the public veal against invasions by
the others, has been evinced by expert
ments. ancient and modern some of
them in our own country and under
our own eyes. To preserve them must
be as necessary as to institute them.
If, In the opinion Of the people, the
distribution or modification of the con-
stitutional powers be in any particular
wrong, let 1t be corrected by amend
ment, in the way which the constitu-
change by usurpation; for, though this
in one instance, may be the instru-
ment of good, 1t is the customary wea-
pom by which free governments are de-
stroyed. The precedent must always

pired in the American lead market,
viz, the expectation Of domestic lead
from Missouri to Europe. OF course,
lead imported from Mexico and else
where and smelted and refined here
in bond is being exported all the time.
but If our recollection be correct no
domestic lead, sold in Europe because
1t realized a better price than here, has
been exported since lead was shipped
out from Eureka, New. in the '70s.
Back in the sos, there were large ex-
ports OF lead from Wisconsin. and that
in spite of the long and costly trans
portation Of the product by wagon
over corduroyed roads. However, the
Wisconsin lead ore of that day was of
high grade, and that is what tells the
story in cost Of production. Most Of
our lead OF the present time comes
from ore that is low in grade.
The recent shipment to Europe was
made at time when lead at London
was about 4.35 cents per pound, at
New York $4.15 and at st. oLuis about
$4.05. The London New York differ
entail did not permit profitable sales
from here. but freight rate of 20
cents per 100 pounds from St. Louis

The subsequent decline in the price
at London checked this business,
which was interesting in showing how
nearly the European and American
markets are in balance. a condition
which has indeed existed for many
months, although we have not previ-
ously given lead to Europe. However,
the European market has been for a
long time bolster to our own, which.
Of course our producers will forget
about at some time in the future when
the balance may swing the other way
and our lower tariff may permit Eur
ope to send us some lead.

TIE HUMAN TOUCH IN POLITICS.
philadelphia Ledger)

The amateur and intermittent re.
formers who think that the politics OF
the great cities can be reformed over
night ought to study the most recent
exhibition of the methods of the pol
itical boss. 1t was held in New York
City. The exhibition hall was in low
err Third avenue, where Browning So
cieties do not meet, but where voters
are as thick as bees on a honeycomb
Charles F. Murphy and two of his
lieutenants were returning home from
a political dinner, when they saw that
a tenement house was on fire. Murphy
rushed into the building, woke the in
mates, helped them to the street
bought clothing for them from a store
that happened to be open, induced a
restaurant keeper to feed the hungry
and homeless, and at o'clock in the
morning went home. his silk hat ruin
ed his fur coat fringed with ice and
the rest Of his garments wet This Is
the answer Of the Tammany boss to
the reformers who propose to drive
him from power. And 1t Is from en-
trenchments such as this that he re-
torts to them that he intends to re-
main at the head of Tammany as long
as he lives
1t has been demonstrated, time after
time, that the Tammany leaders in
New York and the leaders of similar
organizations in other cities hold their
power because they get into human
touch with the great mass of the poor
and dependent who have votes and
and gratitude. The man who buys
clothing for the poor, who feeds the
hungry, who pays the rent of the Wild
ow about to be evicted. who gives bail
for the hayward son-who, in short
acts as feudal baron in looking af-
ter the interests of his retainers--usu-
ally gets the political support Of those
retainers so long as he chooses to pay
for 1t by largess of this kind.
Murphy has reminded his opponents
in most spectacular manner that he
IoIuS iliS pOWcI ny uO SlcHttT lltlc,
and that If they try to GUST him they
will have to reckon with the great
mass of voters who cast their ballots
as he directs. He is aware that the
human touch in political strategy is
as magical as the Nelson touch in
naval warfare
Yet, although this sort Of thing gives
a strength to the bosses, 1t can not be
defended on any theory OF sound pub
lie policy. The shiftless and incom-
petent are taken care Of for purely |
selfish reasons. Those who are never
more than week from absolute need |
ire pauperized instead Of being put |
On the road to self-support and self |
'espect, while criminals are allowed to
escape punishment by the courts that |
hey may be used by the politicians.
Mr. Murphy has given not only an ex-
,ibitlon Of the sources Of his power;
lie has insolently boosted Of the inabll-
ty of the forces Of dencency to defeat
lin. Let us see what answer those
orces will give to the challenge.

WHAT Is RAW MATERIAL?
CLOS Angeles Times)

\AoS <AHSeIcS 1lINeS)
The tariff experts make long disqui-
sitions on the difference between man
ufactured articles and raw material.
What Is raw material? It Is something
IN the production Of which human la
Dor has not been used. The steel Of
which the saw is made is not raw ma
terial, for 1t is made from iron smelted
by human labor from ore. The ore is
not raw material for human labor has
been invoked to mine it: The leather
Of which your shoes are made is not
raw material, for the tanner made it
from hide. The hide is not raw ma
terial, for labor killed and skinned the
steer. And the steer was not raw ma
terial for 1t took labor to raise and
feed him.
Cloth is the so-called raw material
from which the tailor manufactures a
coat Wool is the so-called raw ma
terial from which the spinner con-
structs the cloth. and human labor has
been used to shear the sheep. Even
the tree standing in the forest is not
the raw material Of lumber, for human
labor was required to survey a road
through the forest to reach the tree.

EARTHQUAKE UNDERGROUND.
Minors on the Comstock Describe the
Unusual Experience.
virginia Chronicle)

Virginia ChrOnicle)
Inquiry Of miners coming of shift
this afternoon, relative to the effects
of today's earthquake underground,
brings out some interesting statements.
Engineer Brown stationed at the
2200 station Of the Ophir winze reports
that the shock was severe at that point
and loose rock fell in the drifts with
cracking noise like cavein. His
first thought was that the old slopes
near the station had started to come.
He came to the conclusion that an
earthquake had occurred and phoned
to the surface at once to ascertain IL
any damage had been done about the
town.
Men working in the winze report a
grinding noise, and loose rock sluffinR
off and sounds like distant thunder.
Their first belief was that stope had
caved somewhere although there was
very little vibration and very slight
conclusion.
Elsewhere in the Northend mines the
shock was felt with about the same
sensations reported.
On the 200O-foot level Of the Con.
Virginia. heavy 6x'2 splitters. between
two tunnel sets, were broken off like
toothpicks. but no further breaking of
timbers was found on that level. The
engineer at the surface felt the shock
and thought at first there was trouble
on the cage and slowed down, until It
was found out that all was right in the
main shaft.

ON THE BIRTH OF A CHILD.

(By Louis Untermeyer)
Lo, to the battle-ground Of life,
Child, you have come, like a con.
quering shout,
Out Of a struggle into strife,
Out of the darkness into doubt.
Girt with the fragile armor of youth.
Child, you must ride into endless
With the sword Of protest, the buckler
of truth
And a banner Of love to sweep the
stars
About you the worlds despair will
surge,
Into defeat you must plunge and
grope,
Be to the faltering an urge;
Be to the hopeless years a hope!
Be to the darkened world a flame;
Be to its unconcern a blow,
For out of its pain and tumult you
And into its tumult and pain you go.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN IDAHO.

There is much in the political stu.
alton in Idaho to give substantial en-.
couragement to republicans. In gen
eral terms the elements which are
making for republican success are
found in the disintegration of the pro-
gressve party and the return of it!
members to the party of their first al
legiance; the disposition of the regu-
lar republicans to welcome them bacl,
and the consequent reunion of the par.
ty on lines that mean a restoration OF
it's fighting strength and spirit; and
last the hopeless division, discord and
decentralization that prevails in the
democratic party of Idaho.
That the progressive party in Idaho
is q mere remnant of the organization
consisting of leaders who were at
tracted to it by the hope of Office and
who have nothing to look forward to
in that line by returning to the re-
publican party, is now plainly appar-
ent. The real progressives who al
ligned themselves with the third par
ty free from selfish motives have re-
turned or are returning to the repub-
lican fold for the reason that 1t is evil
dent that the third party can serve no
practical purpose except to turn the
state over to the democrats. Some OF
the progressives for office only are
willing to do this and they are the
ones who are trying to maintain pro-
gressive organization. The get-to-
gether spirit is reality among regu-
lar republicans and regular progress
ives, for they stand upon positive prin-
ciples of government and are striving
for the accomplishment of definite pur-
poses, with the control Of offices mere
ly as a means to an end.
The division in the democratic par
ty as represented by the Hawley fac
ton on the one hand and the Nugent
faction on the other is growing wider
every day, and is engendering a bit
terness on both sides that can never
be removed And now comes Dubois
and injects his anti Mormon Crusade
and announces his candidacy for the
senate on that issue. Could the stua-
tion be more hopeless from a party
And yet this three-cor-
nered battle among ambitious leaders
does not begin to tell the whole story
of democratic dissension. The real
condition is aptly described by the |

LODGE ON CANAL TOLLS.
EST. Louis Globe-Democrat)

| \Sl. LOUIS GlODe-DeInOcrdlJ
While the discussion of the treaty
by the senate prior to it's ratification
was in executive session and was not
preserved in the Congressional Record
many who participated in the debate
later made speeches which are of rec
ord. Senator Lodge, who opposes ex-
emption Of tolls for coastwise vessels
declared in speech in the senate on
July II. 1912, that he was in London
when the treaty was drafted and had
something to do with its formulation
He had charge of the treaty after it's
formulation and submitted it to the
senate. Senator Lodge said: when l
reported that treaty my own impress
sion was that 1t left the United States
in complete control Of the tolls upon
its own vessels. I did not suppose
then that there was any limitation
upon our right to charge such tolls as
we pleased upon our own vessels, or
that we were included in the phrase
all nations" Three days later SEN
ator Lodge explained that he had vot-
ed against a proposed amendment Of
fered by Senator Bard Of California
to make the right Of the United States
to control its own tolls clear and spe-
cific solely on the ground that such
amendment was unnecessary.
The United States has built at a cost
of $400,000.OO0 a canal with its own
money, in it's own territory and will
have to maintain 1t. To charge that 1t
signed away its sovereignty for no
consideration whatever is an affront
to everybody concerned in the draft
ing or ratification of the treaty.

WHAT THE MINING INDUSTRY
NEEDS

In order to maintain a permanent
and prosperous position, one that will
encourage capital to invest and secure
as far as possibly steady market for
the output, the miners of lead and zinc
are entitled to a governmental policy
that will favor the home product as
against the foreign and that will main
tain the domestic market for the bene-
fit of domestic producers. That is not
the policy of the present administra-
ton, nor of any other democratic ad-
ministration, and this is the chief fac
tor responsible for the low prices of
lead and zinc today. The free trade
Underwood bill has opened the Ameri-
can market to the foreigner, and this
more than any thing else accounts for
the general business distrust and UNI
certainty that prevails throughout the
country.
When the country is in a prosperous
condition, when big industrial enter
prises are in full swing, giving en-
ployment to labor at good wages,
when the wage Garner the small bust
ness man and the farmer are building
new homes or painting and otherwise
improving the old ones, it is then that
the lead and zinc miner receives an
adequate price for his product and is
encouraged to increase his output and
to open up and develop new mines
That was the condition that prevailed
almost without interruption under the
republican policy of protection, and
that is the condition that would prevail
today under that policy of govern
ment
The prices of lead and zinc today
are such that some of the mines Of
this district are running with very
narrow margin Of profit, and it is a
fact that the only thing that saves the
market from further drop is the war
in Mexico, which for the time has
practically destroyed the mining in
dustry of that country. 1t is an il.
wind that blows nobody good, and so,
while we Of the lead and zinc mining
districts rightly condemn the demo
cratic free trade policy that exposes
our industry to foreign competition,
we must at the same time give the
weak, indefinite and spineless Mexi-
can policy of the administration credit
for prolonging the revolution in Mex
leo and thereby indirectly and unin-
tentionally preserving for a time a.
least the lead and zinc mining indus
try from total ruin.
What the mining industry needs is |
definite assurance that the govern
ment is in full sympathy with the spir-
1t and enterprise that develop the min
eral resources of the country and that |
in order to make that sympathy of
practical benefit it must be supported
by written laws that make it clear that
the home market must be preserved
for the benefit of the home producer.
