SENATOR LODGE AND FREE
TOLLS.

One can not help but admire the pa
triotic position taken by Senator
Lodge in his speech supporting the
president in his efforts to repeal the
free tolls provision of the Panama
canal bill, even though he may not
agree with the senator. 1t was fine
example of RELOCATING partisanship to
the rear in the presence of a higher
duty which involved, as he believed,
the honor Of the nation. Senator
Lodge believes that the president, as
The spokesman for the nation in deal
ing with foreign nations, is to be re-
garded in an altogether different light
than when dealing with domestic af-
fairs, and that when the president
says that the delicacy of our relations
with certain foreign nations is such
that the free tolls provision should be
repealed, it is the patriotic duty of
congress to comply with the presi-
lents wishes.
1t is nice distinction that the SEN
ator makes, and is too finely drawn to
be accepted by the people generally. 1t
is on this point alone that Senator
Lodge will vote to repeal free tolls. He
says unqualifedly that free tolls for
ships in the uoastwse trade is not a
violation of the treaty, and in order
to free the president from possible
embarrassment in dealing with foreign
nations, he will vote to repeal meas
ure which he believes should not be
repealed, viewed from the welfare Of
our own people. His attitude is a re-
markable example of confidence in the
chief executive, for it should be borne
in mind that the president has not
taken congress into his confidence and
told what these delicate conditions
are. ii Is possible that they may be of
sufficient gravity o warrant the atti-
tude taken by Senator Lodge, but q
senator or congressman should be
given some details before voting in
opposition to his convictions and in
giving the president free hanl in
out foreign policy to which
he may also be opposed.

THE BACON AND BEANS MAN
AND THE GEOLoGlST

The prospector and the geologist
each serve their purpose, and perhaps
both serve 1t well, but we are inclined
to give the prospector more credit for
results accomplished than the geolo-
gist. OF course we are glad to have
all the rocks named for us, with their
dips, angles and spurs, and we are
willing to admit that the geologist has
gone Noah Webster one better, and
S elected some names not in the die
tionary. However, in spite of this, we
are willing to stick to the prospector,
because he does things. Biologists
come and go, but the prospector goes
on forever. Touched by the hand of
adversely, this man develops qualities
Of human genius undreamed of and
makes the waste places blossom into
industrial communities Of wealth and
power.
Who ever heard of a geologist go
ing into wild country and finding
mine? Such an event would be re-
corded as one of the seven wonders of
the world. You often hear of geolo-
gists going into strange districts, and
come out reporting Possibilities Of
gold, silver, lead and copper and other

NO POCKETS IN A STROUD.

Henry Ford manufacturer of the
Ford automobiles, dividing $4,000, 600
with his employees and voluntarily
paying a wage of IS for hours work
is something new in American indus
trial conditions. 1t borders on one
phase of socialism, but does not go
quite as far as that. Mr.. Ford prob
ably thought of Mark Twain's sage
remark: There is no pocket in a
shroud." The Observation-Disclosures and
other wealthy people who employ la
Dor should remember that shroud
business, but the chances are if they
did, some, of them are small enough
and misery enough to go and have
some pockets made. 1t is better o
have lived one day on this earth and
to have been in that one day bene-
fit to humanity than to have lived here
whole lifetime and been a benefit
to no one but yourself at the expense
of the lives and happiness of others.
1t is better to enjoy life here, because
we will be long time dead, and one
can not enjoy life knowing that his
pleasure means another's misery.
Some Of the great captains of indus
try started out in life with the idea
of collecting a reasonable fortune and
then retiring to enjoy it and have died
in harness collecting the millions that
they could not put in their shrouds. A
certain amount Of money is a pleas
ure, but too much of it is a trial that
carries more worry with it than
pestilence. Most people believe that
plenty of money will keep you out of
JAIL but it has not been SO with Harry
Thaw. 1t has kept him in. Henry
Rogers and j. P. Morgan died chasing
dollars, and so have thousands of 9TH
ers. They left immense fortunes for
else to spend, and they did
not carry to their graves the bless
ings Of the human race Carnegie is
paving his way to the hereafter with
libraries which cost the people as
much as they do Carnegie. How much
better 1t would be had these men

THE NEW LEASING BILL.

ALASKA & Northwest Mining JournaD
Congress is really evidencing a
praiseworthy disposition to follow up
the enacting of the Alaska railway
bill by the passage of a leasing bill
that will result in giving some tonnage
to the railroad after 1t Is built. We
lare very glad to note that constant
hammering has driven the fact home
to them that not only does Alaska
need a railway, but, given the rail-
way, it is necessary to unshackle the
country and allow her resources to be
developed. Two bills for the leasing
of the coal lands are before the pub
lie lands committee Of the senate and
with the friendly cooperation of Sec
rotary of the Interior Lane, backed
by Senators Walsh, Poindexter and
Pittman, 1t is hoped that they will be
able to present a bill that will at
least be workable Appearances in
dictate that both houses are in earn
est in their attempt to frame a bill
that will do the most good with the
least amount of harm. We fail to see
why the government should reserve
half of the coal in the Behring and
Matanuska fields, but if they decide 10
do so there will be no great harm
done as there will be plenty left. One
of the provisions under consideration
by the committee is to allow the rnu-
inequalities to own and operate mines
and conduct public yards for the dis
trbution Of the coal, and that such
cities shall have preference after the
federal government. These provisions
all indicate that congress Is strug-
Cling nobly to make amends for some
Of its past neglect. Let us hope that
while in this frame of mind they will
consider the claims Of the pioneers
who have discovered these fields and
have invested their money in an hon.
est effort to develop them. Congress
should, and undoubtedly will, give
these men the preference in the mat
ter Of location. To do anything else
would be an act of injustice so great
that we do not care to contemplate the
possibility of it.

IF YOU WIN, you LOSE.

The return to work of the striking
miners in Michigan is the closing chap
tween capital and labor in the indus
trial world, with capital the victor A
labor strike is like a lawsuit, if you
win you lose. The way we figure it
both capital and labor are the losers
in the Michigan strike. The miners
have been out of work for eight long
months, while the mine owners have
either been compelled to close their
mines or work them with inefficient
labor and a consequent loss Of profits
for like period, all on account of a
stubborn determination by both sides
to enforce their own demands against
the other fellow Capital had more
money than labor, and consequently
starvation forced the issue in favor
of the capitalists. Had the miners
possessed the capital the Michigan
mines would probably have remained
in state of partial or total inactivity
to the end of time unless they had
met the miners demands. 1t all seems
very foolish, when little common
sense applied on each side would
both. The miners would have had

COLD COMFORT FOR PROGRESS
IVES.

Every congressional election that
has been held since the last general
election has marked the rapid decline
of the progressive party and clearly
foreshadowed its final extinction. In
every one of these elections, in dis
tricts where the progressive party had
either been successful or second to
the democratic party with the repub-
liean party third, the results show a
complete reaction, the republican
party forging to the first place, the
democrats second and the progressives
a poor third.
The most striking example of the
change in political sentiment was
shown in the recent election in the
Patterson, N. j., district The result
was most gratifying to republicans
both because it demonstrated beyond
question that the progressive party
was no longer a factor to be reckoned
with in that district at least and be-
cause the result was in effect a re-
pudiation of the Wilson administra-
ton. This district was carried by
Roosevelt by large majority and at
the same time a democratic congress-
man was elected. The recent returns
show conclusively that practically the
entire progressive party has returned
to the republican organization, a con-
dition which, If 1t prevails in other

adopted the plan of Henry Ford, and
distributed at least fair portion Of
their wealth among the men and the
women who helped them make 1t.
Without the assistance of their fellow
men they could not have made it.
While these men measured big in the
industrial world on earth they will
not measure any larger than the bal
after and if we were running the
place we would put them in the bin
with the small potatoes. Many of
| these great fortunes have been made
| by child labor shaving in mines, mills
and factories; by working men toiling
| for a starvation wage; by mothers
| toiling for their little ones for just
enough money to keep them alive and
| by whole families working night and
day in dark, vile tenement sweat
shops. All this in order that the cap
tains Of industry" may reap large
profit off their labor If there is a
warm place in the great unknown for
such captains" we hope that we will
be sent there to shovel coal.
Henry Ford's example may be fol-
lowed by others. We hope it will be,
for it means comfortable homes and
education for the great mass of hui
manity.

districts where the progressves polled
q heavy vote, will restore the control
Of congress to the republicans and

THE NEW RAILROAD.

From time to- time during the past
year The Miner has published such
information as was obtainable regard
ing the proposed Spokane, Wallace e.
Interstate railroad to connect Wallace
and Occur d'Alene, all of which tend
ed to show that the enterprise had
been undertaken in good faith and
would be carried to a successful con-
clusion. The recording Of a trust deed
to secure the bonds Of the company
and the formal announcement that the
money Is now available for the con-
struction of the road seem to leave no
cause for doubt that this city and dis
trict will have another transportation
line before the present year is out.
While local men are given as the
promoters of the enterprise, and it is
also stated that no transcontnental
preston is quite general that the Mil
waukee is closely identified with 1t and
that the new line will eventually be-
come a part of that great system. The
extensive terminal ground secured by
that company at Occur d'Alene clearly
indicates that facilities were required
far beyond the demands of local bust
ness if the company had no plans for
extending its lines; and in seeking a
probable extension, line to the Occur
d'Alene district was the only one that
appeared logical and likely
1t has never appeared reasonable
that the Milwaukee would be content
to pass within 20 miles of the Occur
dAlene mines and permit its great riv-
ais to monopolize the tremendous ton
mage Of the district, and If we are not
greatly mistaken this Wallace Occur
d'Alene railroad will be the means by
which it VAL enter this field And It
is not certain that Wallace will long
be the terminus Of the road. Long ago
the Milwaukee found a feasible pass
across the st. Joe divide at the ''ead
Of Placer creek, and it will 40, pe sur
prising that this new road will in time
be extended to connect with the main
line of the Milwaukee by that route.
But whatever the ultimate plans of
the new railroad company, its coming
is hailed with delight by all citizens,
for 1t closes link that should have
been occupied long ago. and it means
improved transportation service for
the entire district

minerals, but they never bring any Of
1t with them. The geologlst trade
seems to be trade Of words, and not
,of deeds. When he meets with some
thing out of the ordinary he sidesteps
the issue, leaving the knotty problem
for the BACON and beans man with the
pick and shovel, and when it is solved
he comes back and delivers himself of
a few big words that mean nothing
and do not compromise him, and takes
credit for making the discovery. Read
a scientific word treatment, an "ab-
sent" treatment, as 1t were, on a min
ing prospect by professional geolo-
gist, and you will think he has closed
every avenue behind him, but try to
smoke him out, and you will find that
he has left more holes to crawl out Of
than prairie dog.
The prospector does not know how
the earth's crust was made, and he
doesn't give a tinker's tink; he doesn't
know whether there Is mineral in
certain formation or not, but he is 60
ing to find out, and we would rather
back up the fellow who finds out than
the fellow who says it isn't there and
let's it go at that. Had it been left to
the geologist this great Occur d'Alene
district would still be trackless will
derness, and the great mines here I'M
discovered. 1t has only been in re-
cent years that the district has at
tracted the attention of biologists, and
about all they have succeeded in do
ing since that time is to give us
few local names for our rocks.
1t has remained for the bacon and
beans man, the unassuming prospect
or, to find new mines, and strange to
say, he has found them in the very
rocks that received the least attention
from the geologist To the geologist,
the "Prichard' slate was about the last
word in formation, and it has been
freely predicted that the mineral veins
would cease to be profitable when they
entered this formation.
The bacon and beans man was
from Missoury;" he had to be shown;
he went to work and has opened in
this district some of the most promis-
ing and extensive lead veins in
the United States-one of which al
ready holds third place in zinc produc-
tion--all in the Prichard states.
The geologist also treated the Revett
formation at Mullan with scant cour-
tesy, but the bacon and beans man
kept on digging, with the result that
the geologist now considers this
very important ore bearing formation,
because the prospec.or has unearthed
valuable and extensive ore deposits.
| In short, history repeats itself. The
geologist who says it isn't there gen.
orally finds out that the prospector
has stuck pin in his balloon.
All hail the prospector. He does
things. He has a hard head and a
this the mining world owes him an
immense debt of gratitude.

A GEM OF ENGLISH PROSE.

The late Senator John ]. ingalls, OF
Kansas was one of the most skillful
masters Of the English language who
graced his generation. The following
extracts from a eulogy delivered on
T. the death Of friend is one of his
choicest bits of oratory, and is a poem
in prose:
I'm the democracy of the dead, all
men at last are equal. There is neil
Their rank, station or prerogative in
the republic of the grave. At this
fatal Threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise, and the song of the
poet is silent. Dives relinquishes his
millions and Lazarus his rags. The
poor man is as rich as the richest,
and the rich creditor loses his usury,
and the debtor is acquitted of his OBJ
LEGATION. There the proud man sur,
renders his dignity, the politician his
honors, the wording his pleasures,
the invalid needs no physician, and the
laborer rests from unrequited toll.
Here at last Is natures final decree IN
equity. The strongest there has no
supremacy, and the weakest needs no
defense The mightiest captain sue
cumbs to the invincible adversary,
who disarms alike the victor and the
vanquished."

Chooses Hearst Newspapers for
Appeal Because Of Their Wide
Field Of Operation,

Prompted by q sorrow that will not
be stilled, a little girl in Richmond
Va, the other day wrote a letter to
the Hearst newspapers, asking them
to aid her in the search for her father
Hugh H. Firth, who left his home,
No 615 Beverly street, Richmond,
three years ago. and has not been
heard of since.
Miss Firth writes that she is bro
ken hearted because of her fathers
disappearance, and can never be
happy nor even bear life until he is
restored to her,
Il have not heard from my father
since he went away" the young girl
writes, and if any one who knows
his whereabouts win communicate
with me, / shall be most thankful"
Miss Firth chose the Hearst papers
for the expression Of her appeal be-
cause their field Of operation is eX-
tensive. Her appeal came to the
Sunday American with the others
