THE TEST OF A STATESMAN.


The real test of a statesman is not
necessarily completed with a term or
two in the White house. Even If he
measures up well as president it re-
sesses sufficient dignity, breadth of
view and self restraint to be an ex-
president
Take the case OF Theodore Roose-
welt, for example. After serving seven
years as head of the nation he turned
the office over to the man he had Sc
iected as his successor and retired,
having up TO that time apparently
pleased the majority of the people.
Since then his popularity has been
steadily waning because of the fact
that ne has not been able to meet the
tests which came to him because of his
having once been president. Divested
OF tbs glamor which attended him
/ when president his later plays for pop
ular acclaim have generally fallen flat.
IN The White house, speaking with
the voice of authority and invested
with power and resources and means
or publicity probably given to no other
man in the worlds history, and which
he used to refute and discredit those
who took issue with him, he was
practically unassailable, but now. in
private life, he presents an altogether
different spectacle.
The mans seIfishness has been his
undoing. He has made il plain To the
people, not once but many times, that
he is in the game for his own glory
rather than for the good of the peoole.
1t has been shown that he espouses no
cause of which he IS not the head
When he was president and the head
In fact, this phase did not become so
PAINFULLY apparent as it has since. No
one with half an eye can fail to see II
now.
Not content with two terms as pres
ldent and the setting up of his own
successor with a specific understand
ing that the latter was to follow in
his steps, he has later insisted on be.
ing candidate for a third term and
now is bending every effort TO so shane
events that he shall be able TO lead a
fourth race.
When Roosevelt returned from At
rlca he found president whose acts
mad already condemned him with a
majority OF the people, and his critf-
cisms, while obviously a breach of good
faith and OF personal friendship. struck
popular chord. When he came back
from South America, however, he found
president who had, without the
slightest question, met every test and
iulnlled every pledge and had won
the respect and confidence of the great
majority of the people by doing the
things which they believed ought to
be done. Despite the fact that he was
out of touch with national events and
mad had no opportunity to feel out the
sentiment of the people before he had
landed, Roosevelt began a series of at
lacks, the sole object of which is to
weaken confidence in the executive and
TO attract attention to Roosevelt him
self and TO bring him into the Iimelight
and eventually to make him regarded
as the logical leader of those who take
Issue with the existing order of
things.
But the people know him now. They
nave seen him unmasked. He stands
before them in the role of a earning
coyetous critic. a leader without n
cause. man who is too narrow. too
biased and too selfish to be an ex.
president

The American Boy.

Up at the American Boy mine, above the Mansfield camp, in the Piper gulch, the lower tun- nel has encountered some of the finest looking copper ore yet found in this mine, and some good ore has been brought out and shipped from this property. The ore came in early this week, and after two days work the face of the tunnel was full in the ore, as nice chalcopyrite as one usually sees.
 This tunnel is in over 300 feet, and if an uprise were made from the point at which the ore came in it would give a. depth of considerably over 100 feet.
 Clarke and Peterson, principal owners of the American Boy, have done a tremendous amount of work in developing this prop erty, and are deserving of the success which the new find seems to portend. d.-Patagonian.

Thirteen Feet of High-Grade Ore.

The new strike made last week at the Three R mine, the extent of which had not been deter mined when The Pauagoniau went 10 press, but which was given as five feet of good ore, as the drift was in on the high grade only five feet at the time, now develops into a much lar ger strike.
 It is now stated from authen- tic sources, that this drift open ed up thirteen feet of high grade copper ore, averaging II per cent.
 This new strike was made in drift from the 600 foot level, in an entirely different part of the workings from where the regular shipping ore is taken.
 It is one of the best strikes made recently at the Three R. Thirteen feet of high grade cop per ore, averaging II per cent, at the depth which this was en- countered, is big thing for the district. It is also important in proving the permanent ore bodies of the Three R mine at depth. h.-Patagonian.

Wilson and Clark.

If anyone has doubted the rightness of the decision made at Baltimore between Wilson and Clark, the present instance ought to convince them that no mistake was made. Wholly apart from the evidence of the vast difference in the caliber of the two men, there is this direct evidence of difference in funda- mental belief. Speaker Clark is found on the side of a subsidy, a principle opposed to the belief of his party and to the con- viction of the vast majority of American voters without regard to party. Could there be clearer evidence that MT. Wilson was the leader the party needed Milwaukee Journal.
