however, Mr.. James Armstrong showed
considerable strength on the first bal
lot as against Mr.. Nielsen, the pres
ent councilman, and on the fourth bal
lot Mr.. Armstrong was nominated by
one majority over all.
The different candidates for mayor
displayed considerable interest from
the fact that all Tuesday afternoon
| they were on the streets soliciting sup
port. 1t was early conceded, however,
that Mayor Laub would have walk
away and that the voters were determ-
ned not to be dictated to by one man
and that they were going to have some
say as to the nominee. There was no
serious objection to Mr.. Kahler per-
sonally, but there was objection to the
manner in which he was brought out.
AS early as last Monday week Mr..
Caswell made the remark that he had
finally persuaded Mr.. Kahler to be-
come a candidate and accept the Of
fee; that it would be handed to him
on a silver platter and without any
particular effort on his part. That
Mr. Kahler was led into the race by
such flattering promises is to be re-
gretted and he no doubt will profit
from the experience.
A great many people believe that it
was not square deal for Mr.. Caswell
and certain members Of the council
to say that the council should be re-
tanned, but the mayor ought to be de-
feated. Every one knows that there
was want of good faith in the move
ment If Mayor Laub had proved him
self a subservient tool of the council
in the selection of the library board
then he would have been a good fel-
low and worthy of reelection, but he
used his own judgment in the selec-
ton of the trustees for appointment
on the library board as became his
duty and presented a list of names
which it is conceded was made up OF
representative men OF the city, but as
Mr.. Caswell and certain members of
the council had a purpose to serve
turned down.
The selection of Mayor Laub for re-
election but vindicates his action re-
garding not only the appointment of
the library board, but all of his Off
cial acts during his term as mayor.
Mr.. Laub has made as good a mayor
as DenisOn has had in many years.

treasury. His business and financial
condition enables him to devote the
necessary time to city affairs and this
he intends doing benson is enter
ing upon a new era in that municipal
ownership of the electric light plant
is to be given trial and the mayor
will no doubt give the matter his un-
divided attention.

Interstate Trade Commission

First of the supplementary anti-monopoly bills to come before
congress embodyng the desires of President Wilson will be one, APP
proved and reported by the house committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, creating an interstate trade commission, says International
Investments, in its current issue. Whether this measure will have as
many collateral propositions issuing from the White House as seemed
likely a month ago, is a matter of conjecture. Many signs indicate the
presidents growing realization that definition of modes of doing bust
ness is a more difficult task for congress to undertake than the ardent
reformer can realize until he has experimental with statute making.
For the interstate trade commission plan there is much to be said
and difficulties i'll defining its scope of authority and its field of opera
ton have been fewer than those attending other projects related to the
anti -monopoy struggle. With the interstate commerce commission as
an example, it is comparatively easy to take advantage of all the eN-
perience accumulated during the time that it has been gaining in prestige
and power. Moreover, there is less opposition to the plan of an inter
state trade commission by interests to be controlled by it than exists
toward any of the plans for extending state authority over corporate
action. So that the project viii come before congress with considerable
friendlness felt toward it by the larger industrial enterprises that are
eager for son measure of stability and certainty in doing business
quite as much Is for anything. They may much prefer independent
action and free competition as a matter of theory. But faced by a con-
diton such IS now exists they will take federal rather than state con-
troll.
The proposed bill is loyal to a nonpartsan civil service based on
merit ideal. The three commissioners, who ar to be well paid, will
give their entire time to the calling. Only the largest industrial and
commercial corporations will be subject to such investigation and super
vision IS the commission may undertake, but in turn it can only inSi-
|tute judicial proceedings on the advice of the Encouragement. and the
general terms of the law indicate that it is the presidents desire that at
first the commission shall serve other departments of the government
already fully charged with authority rather than begin for itself a punt
tive career.
With the limitation of power first granted to this new body it is
far Gkeler to come into existence. AS with the interstate commerce
commission, it can earn additional grants of authority by jusifying
them through wisdom shown in operation of the new law.

Mining and the Mexican Situation

For the sake OF the mining industry, if for no other reason, it 81 to
be hoped that peace and a stable government will soon be established
in Mexico, says the Mining and Engineering World, in its current
issue. The revolution, or. more exactly, the revolutions and brigandage
that have kent that country in an almost constant state of turmoil and
uncertainty for the past few years, have certainly worked havoc with
the mines there, especially the Amercanowned mines. These mines
have been operated with increasing difficulty until practically all Of
them have been obliged to suspend entirely, owing to its having become
impossible to get and keep laborers, and to hostility of the natives. The
'gringo' never was any too popular with the Mexcans, who, under
present conditions, feel safe and free to commit any depredations that
occur to them. The growing belief among these senisavage people
that Americans ar towards and are afraid to protect their rights has
been encouraged by the policy of the Washington government to avoid
trouble if possible. Perhaps this policy of non-resisance, of turning
the other cheek to be smited, is wise, but we doubt it. If the statements
of refugees who have already suffered from it, and who know the tenn
per of the natives, art to be believed, Mexico will be a vertable hell
n earth for Americans to live in for a long time to come unless this
government changes its tactics and gives Mexico a demonstration Of
real strength and courage, and a fair deal after the lesson has been well
taught.
Other foreigners, especially the English, French and Germans,
have received better treatment, and some of the large foreign-owned
mining companies, such as Dos Estrellas, owned in Paris, and FL Orc
and Mexico Mines of FL Orc, owned in London, have had but little
trouble in continuing operations.

parts of the beams being of inferior steel.
Should these charges be sustained, it is doubtful if the law
provides such a penalty as the people would like to see imposed.
No great public work has been undertaken that has been more free
from scandal than the construction of the Panama canal. If the
employees under indictment connived at this deception as charged,
there were others who undoubtedly shared in the profits. These
others are the ones the law should reach, and no doubt will reach.
The nation has been fortunate, in recent years, in the free
dom from graft that has characterized its public work. Out of
the hundreds of millions expended, affording opportunity for graft
to hundreds and thousands of government employees, scandal has
been almost unknown. While states and counties and NUM-
cipaites have been reeknng with graft, the federal government has
been free. Its public buildings, river and harbor improvements
and the construction of its war vessels have been carried forward
with practically no scandal or no charge of scandal. Honest men
have been hedged about by regulations which protect their reputa-
tons. These regulations also protect the government against the
man who is, at heart, dishonest.
Railroads and corporations have suffered infinitely more from
graft in this respect than has the federal government.

Business Situation Reviewed

Important financial and business interests everywhere have lons
called that sentiment plays a leading part in the worlds commercial
ctivities, says International Investments, in its current issue.
1t must be conceded that if self-nterest could be eliminated,
the pessinistC sentiment now pervading business would in due
time yield to a more hopeful view. Then business itself would
the party opposed to that in control of governmental affairs to
charge any shrinkage of business to the administration. This is
done not Sc much on account of disappointed hopes as it is to in
huence voters at future elections. Sentiment thus created has a
decidedly depressing effect. Then, when legislation is proposed as
affecting certain lines of business, arguments against such bills
exert similar misChievous influence against commerce and industry.
Whether intended or not, the testimony set forth by the eastern
railroads of the United States in their campaign for higher freight
rates has done much harm to general business.
Now, if the big interests of the financial and industrial world
were to set their faces in the opposite direction and exploit all that
is good and constructive in business and finance, they would, we
think, come into the enjoyment of prosperity much more quickly
than by the methods now being pursued. The greatest thing needed
at present is more confidence. Fundamental conditions are adj
miuedly better everywhere. 1t would not necessarily be ignoring
the worst conditions if the best were to be set forth in speeches,
interviews and publicity campaigns generally, and it certainly
would do much toward the restoration of confidence and business
peace.
During the rather prolonged period of depression the world
has been learning the lesson of economy. ENtragavance and the
high cost of living doubtless have had much to do with the re-
action, and directly with the social and political unrest. Now that
the people and governments have been forced to econonize, it may
be hoped that the future will benefit by the experience. Stocks
everywhere are low. Renewed buying in almost any important
direction would give trade an impetus that would be more or less
permanent. Money is in abundant supply, the crop outlook is
bright, bank cearngs IRE increasing, the demands of the people
for the necessities are constantly growing greater. There is any
amount OF ammunition of this sort that could be used in a cam
paign for promoting confidence. Economic conditions the world
over have been mfavorable to business and the recession is due to
these conditions rather than to any particular legislation or adj
ministraton. These conditions now show signs of improvement,
and a new era of prosperity seems to be looming up ahead.

The Authority of the State

In commenting upon the industrial strife in Colorado in a speec
delivered at a dinner given in his honor recently in Boulder, Adjutar
General Chase of the state militia, which was a few weeks ago relieve
duty in the coal strike districts by federal troops, voiced the fund;
mental truths upon which all popular government is based. Referrin
ditonaly to General Chases speech, the Colorado Springs Telegrap
avs:
In brief, his remarks emphasized the necessity for standing by
the constituted authorities and upholdng them in their determine
ton to preserve law and order in every way. 1t is an undoubed
fact that one reason why the recent armed instruction in this
state assumed such large and menacing proportions was because
of a lukewarmness manifested in many quarters toward the gov
ernor and his efforts to maintain law and order.
The governor was criticised and condemned, the military forces
sent out by him were beittled, and abused, and attacked. 1t is lit
tie wonder, with such a backfre as this against the state authori-
ties that the small outburst in one county speedily grew into an
armed rebellion of menacing proportions wherein the strikers as
sumed the attitude of beligerents who were able to make truces,
themselves to be equal in authority to the state government, and the
unfortunate thing about it is that SO many people seem unable to
see the seriousness of such a condition.
Another aspect of the case was well presented by General
Chase relating to aiding and abetting the rebellion by persons who
were not directly connected with it. He said:
The time has come to condemn traitors wherever we
find them. do not believe that Colorado should be a healthy
place for a traitor to live. Does it mean nothing that a call to
arms is openly published in Our newspapers, signed by McLen-
nan and Doyle and the others Is it possible that our civil
authorities can continue to sit idly by in the face of such de-
fance of organized authority as this? tell you that unless
these men are prosecuted and made to see that they must obey
the laws, your state militia will have to return to the strike
districts.
Many persons are Indifferent to such actions as these because
they happen to affect in this case a large corporation, but if men
can arm themselves and their fellows in defiance of the state gov
ernment in one case, they can do it in another and in all cases.
Hence we have no order, no security. no safety, no state govern
ment that is worth a pinch of snuff. The security of all the people
rests upon liberty under the law and the power of the state and
national governments to enforce obedience to the law. If we can
not have this, popular government is a failure.

LEASE YIELDING
RICH SILVER ORE
NEVADA PACKARD ORE CON-
PARES WELL WITH THAT
OF NEVADA HILLS
Special to News and Tribune.


ROCHESTER,, May 27.-Not since
the early days of the Nevada Hills
at Tairview has such rich silver ore
been mined in Nevada as that which
is now being produced by the Krom-
er-Hamrton lease on the Nevada
Packard mine. With the exception
OF one short drift that has followed
a rich shoot of ore into the hill, the
workings of this lease are all out in
the sunshine. A trench has been
cut for rs feet across the big vein.
aud high grade ore located in sour
distinct shoots.
Argentine, horn silver and "black
metal are. the distinctive forms of
silver which occur, and some of the
specimens taken out and exhibited
here will run several thousand ounc-
es to the ton. Last week the lease
shipped IS tons to the Western Ore
Purchasing company at Hazen, which
is expected to return 500 per con.
The lease employs four men and is
producing from 80 to 40 tons a
month Of high grade, besides az

and the three owners, KRONER,
Hampton and Loufek, stand a good
chance of cleaning up a small for
time curing the thirteen months
which the lease has to run.
The Nevada Packard company has
increased it's force to twelve men
and is driving two tunnels, one of
which is driving through a body of
mill ore 80 feet in width. The 9TH
or tunnel is a cross-cut which will
cut the vein at a vertical depth of
ITO feet. This tunnel has followed
a mud slip for about forty feet, and
for the last fifteen feet the seam has
been filed with horn silver. This
slip is evidently a small cross-fissure
from the main vein, and the appear
ance of ore indicates that the tunnel
is nearing the vein. Directly above
this point several thousand dollars
worth of high-grade ore was taken

from surface workings.
When the cross-cut tunnel reaches
the vein the company will start work
on plans for a so or 10O-ton mill.
Tests that have been made on the
ore show that a saving of 80 per
cent or better can be made by con-
centrating and cyaniding. By driv-
ing a tunnel into the hill from the
southwest base a depth of 800 to
500 feet will be gained and the large
body of medium grade ore contained
in the wide vein will be mined on
the ''glory-hole" system, mourning
very low mining costs.
Construction work on the extern
sion of the Nevada Short Line up
Rochester canyon is going ahead
rapidly under the direction of l.. M.
Louis. Grading will be finished by
the middle of June, when track lay
ing will start. Ties and rails are
now being received at the terminus
of the road at Orena on the Southern
Pacific. Two additional locomotives
have been purchased, and a Shea
cog-wheel engine for use on the
heavy grades at the upper end of the
canyon, together with a number of
5-ton steel dump cars, fiat cars and
box cars.
The Short Line will run a mixed
freight and passenger train daily,
leaving Orena in the morning and
Rochester in the afternoon, besides
the ore trains. The company has a
for the shipment of 10000
tons of ore from three leases on the
Rochester Mines company's property.
for which it is to receive So per ton.
AS the road will cost less than $780,
600, this contract alone will return
almost the original cost, net above
operating expenses.

Canal Steel Graft

Referring ednorialy to the indictment of five employees of the Car
bon Steel company of Pittsburg, Pa, on charges of conspiracy in con
nection with steel furnished for the locks of the Panama canal, tn
Reno Gazette makes the following comments, which will unquestion
ably meet with the approval of all patriotic Americans:
We IRE now advised of what appears to be the first important
graft in connection with tho construction of the Panama canal.
Some of the steel used in the great locks, presumably in the gates
to the locks, i, said to be inferior.
Five employees of the Carbon Steel company of Pttsburg
have been indicted. The charge, briefly stated. is that the steel
beams were so tempered at the ends, where inspection would
naturally be made, as to comply with all requirements, the other

Woman Released

Mrs. F. t. Parsons, arrested recent
ly on a charge of defrauding a Cali
farmer, was released owing to
the refusal of Governor Johnson to
sign extradition papers. According
to Governor Johnson the deal be-

was perfectly legitimate. Mrs. Par

property in the Lynn district.
