worn by American girls and women.
Before the invasion of the Ameri-
can became such an increasing and
ever present danger, English women
were very dowdy in their attire, but
they are remedying that as rapidly as
possible"
Undoubtedly Lady Deces is quite
correct in saying that English women
do not wish to see their matrimonial
prizes" captured by American girls.
England has an excess of female pop
ulation Of some three million, and
nowhere else in the world is the hus-
band hunt so strenuous as there.
All Seek Dollars.
OF course what constitutes a mat
rimonial prize is matter of taste,
but it is interesting in this cOnnec-
ton to consider some of the bargains
our American millionairesses have
bought with their fortunes. For it
must be borne in mind that no mat
ter how pretty, how intelligent, how
cultivated, how sweet and lovely an
American girl may be, she never cap
lures the fancy of a titled foreigner
unless she is enormously wealthy. APP
parently, the titled foreigner is like
the witch of tradition. He can only
be hit with a silver bullet.
Among the matrimonial prizes
that have been captured by American
heiresses, the head prize was un-
doubtedly Count Boni de Castellane,
who was secured by Miss Anna
Gould, and VINO spent her money on
other women who struck her ana
abused her so that she was forced
to divorce him. Miss Gould seems,
however to be one Of the people who
do not learn wisdom from experience,
and she is now engaged in the pleas
ant pursuit of paying off the debts
Of another titled matrimonial prize,
the Duke of Sagan
The Duke of Marlborough.
Lovely and great hearted Consuelo
Vanderbilt captured another "matri-
monial prize" the Duke of Marlbor
ough. who ill-treated her, who Haunted
his lady loves in her face, who Squan
dered her money and forced her To
separate from him,
Alice Thaw captured another mat
rimonial prize" the Earl of Var
mouth, who after bargaining with her
for an eXtOriOnate price for marry
Ing her, held up the wedding at the
church until he could get more money
out of her and then deserted her as
soon as he had taken her TO England
leaving her a forlorn little bride in a
moldy old castle.

Of her six million dollars for another

REPRESENTATIVE MEN
SHOULD NOT SHiRE
PUBLIC DUTIES

Patriotism is as really manifest

field of battl,.. We have plenty
and to spare o. martial patriotism,
says the Spokane Spokesman Re.
view. We have little and none
too much Of that costly and diff
cult patriotism which freely gives
its time and strength to the service
of the state in public life and in
public office.
What America most needs today
in its civic life is hosts Of business
men who are ready at the call of
duty to make sacrifice and enter
public life and accept public office.
There are multitudes of such men
capable, efficient, equipped, in
tclligeRt and upright-who know
their duty in this matter and yet
refuse every call of society or the
state upon them for the public SER
vice to which it is entitled. They
are long on criticism of public offic-
ials honestly and earnestly endeav-
oring to discharge civic duties to
the best of their ability; hut they
are short of the genuine and ap-
piled patriotism that inspires and
compers good citizens to take part
in holding Office.
The loss to the country from
this failure Of such otherwise good
citizens is a great and grievious
loss. 1t has much to do with gen.
Grating the corruption, ineficiency
and unintelligenec in governmental
business Of which American bust
ness men complain. If they wish to
have good government they must
themselves cease to make their own
business their private interests
and personal comfort the center
and be-all Of their activities. Tj,ey
must make up their mind to take
part in public life and stand ready,
if need be, to make sacrifices an ]
accept public office.
Washington, whom it is the prac-
tice of such gentlemen to praise as
an ideal American, had the biggest
business interests Of any man of
his time in America and personally
preferred the quiet or private life
to the military career or public
Office. But at the call of duty TO
his country he unhesitatingly sacri-
feed his financial prosperity and
his ease. Every business man
should in his decree be such a
Washington and remember the
warning:

prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men
decay.

THE LAWS DELAYS

Representatives of the American
Bar Association including Ex-Presi-
dent Taft, Judge Alton B. Parker,
Senator Root and others have been
asking congress for simplification
Of court procedure. Conscientious
lawyers everywhere will assent.
rhe lawyers have their big share
of responsibility for existing condi-
tions. But often The trouble lies
also in laws made by the legisla-
lures. o. A. Smart, a district
court judge Of Kansas, told in the
Outlook sometime ago the story Of
n murder case. Defendant was
sentenced six months after arr st.
But the law gave him two years
for appeal. and final action vas not
taken until a year after that so the
case was kept hanging three years.
Judge Smart made the point that
criminal lawyers, so many Of whom
are elected to state legislatures,
are often unfriendly to greater
legal expedition. They quietly Sc
cure the passage of statutes that
tend toward delay.
1t would seem that the courts
are to liberal to lawyers in giving
time to prepare cases. The bulk
uf legal work drifts into the of
fees Of popular lawyers. They
take on NOR work than they can
do.
When cases are called, they find
themselves ill-prepared. They Sc
c"re continuance fur more time for
preparations. This often results
in great injustice to poor clients
or others who are suffering delay.
Lawyers ought not to be allowed TO
keep cases hung up so long, while
they complete work they should
have turned over to other offices.
In the year 1911, there were las
murders in New York City, and but
10 convictions were ever secured.
In London during the same year
a bigger city, there we're 20 murd-
crs ard Is convictions. The pro-
liability of escape revealed by these
eloquent figures leads the trade Of
punman to flourish, as recent trag-
edies have demonstrated.

REPUBLICAN PROPHETS

WHAT is THE REMEDY?

Why is the mining industry stsg
mating? Why is the old time pro
spector passing away? Why are
state geological surveys preferable
to the United States geological sur,
vey? Why so much scouting" BY
technically trained engineers?
These are frequent topics of dis
cussion in the mine Office; in the
p%rospector's cabin it is daily the
subject for disquietlng thought.
What the cause and what the
remedy, if any, says a writer in
the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal.
According to one authority, q
principal III is the exhaustion
of the easily discoverable, easily
developed ore Of the
United States, which mas greatly
reduced the opportunities Of the
prospector and III the mining OPP
orator of small means. This is not
a sudden change, but is one that
has been progressive through many
years. Ore discoveries were many
and frequent in the sixties and sew
entities, fewer and less important in
the eighties and still more in the
nineties. Since 1891 the only new
mining districts of magnitude have
been Creede, Cripple Greek, Tono-
pah, Gold6eld. Cobalt, Porcnpine
and the placer districts of Alaska;
no great number for a period of 20
years.
The successful mining g~eologist
Or engineer employed by the larger
corporations is incliced to do his Fl
nancial thinking in terms Of six ur
more figures and not in that of pro-
portionate profit. He is inclined
to measure a mine with standards
derived at the Bunker Hill & Sui
the Utah Copper. the Home
stake or the Alaska Treadwell and
considers anything smaller un-
worthy Of attention. The small
mine has little place in his scheme
Of things. He visits the property
in question, and, if impressed
samples 1t, studies its immediate
geology, and hastens hack to his
office to write his report. Thence,
he goes perhaps to another quarter
of the globe. The condition of his
employment are such that he does
little scouting while in the district
and much to often his attitude of
mind. due to his associations, pre-
ciudes a fair consideration of any
thing but proved ore bodies.
What then is the remedy? Who
can We gel to make wise selections
of p%rop"rti' IS and to open them
efficiently and we'll? The school
of mines man or a mar with equiv
alent training, we'll seasoned in the
school of experience, in charge of
development companies is the one.
