eRYAN's WEDDING PRESENT.
washington Correspondence

washington Correspondence
The parsimony Of William J. Bry-
al has often been the subject of news
paper comment since he became Sec
rotary of state in the Wilson cabinet,
and his lust for money has brought
him a deal Of adverse criticism. But
the browning evidence of frugality
came about a week ago when Repre-
sentative Flood of Virginia married an
estimable woman in Washington. The
secretary Of state felt called upon to
send a wedding present to the bride,
especially as Mr.. Flood Is chairman
Of the committee on foreign relations
and in constant communication with
the secretary of state He wanted to
give a present that would be appre-
ciated. So he sent the bride a set Of
and Papers Of the Presidents, from
washington to Roosevelt" a work in
nine or 10 nicely bound volumes. Per-
haps the gift would have been appre-
ciated by anyone but the bride of a
congressman, but sooner or later Mrs
Flood will discover that her husband
has so or more sets Of that Identical
work to his credit in the house folding
room, and also will discover that the
aforesaid document has become drug
on the market. Being public docu-
ments they cost Secretary Bryan
nothing, for he has them in his de-
partment for distribution.
Compared to this incident. say crit
les Of the secretary, the serving Of
grape Juice at diplomatic dinners and
the mad dash around the Chautaqua
circuit because "he needs the money"
pale into insigpificance. There is just
one document Secretary Bryan might
have selected to make his gift the
more ridiculous. and that is the
year book" Of the department Of ag-
riculture, which Is printed by the mil
lions Of copies.

ment on the same. The object of the
above editorial is apparent 1t has
been written to pave the way for the
miner to accept a reduction of wages.
either by accepting a less wage per
day or to accept a proposition from
the mine owners which means that the
miner shall bear the brunt Of the bur-
den in some manner in order that
Shylock may receive his usual pound
Of flesh
when the product Of the mines in
Idaho was bringing corpulent profits
to the operators, there was no appeal
on the part Of the Press Times to the
mine owner that in justice to the en-
ploye he should share some OF his
prosperity with the man whose labor
was productive of rich, juicy divi-
dends, but now, that there is shrink
age in that profit demanded by the
exploter, the mouthpiece Of privilege
comes to the rescue to plead for the
class whose profits have diminished
through depressed or congested
market for lead"
OF course, The Miner does not ac-
cept this Interpretation, and merely
prints 1t to show the folly Of publish
ing the editorial in the first place, anc
particularly to show how one at times
is stabbed to death in the house of his
| friends.

WILSON'S MEXICAN POLICY.

The people of southern California
are familiar with Mexico and Mexi-
cans. There Is an extensive Mexican
population in southern California and
many Californans have extensive
business interests in Mexico. 1t Is
therefore probable that the Mexican
situation is better understood by the
people in that section Of California
than in any other part Of the United
States. 1t is therefore highly interest
ing and instructive to read the senti-
ment Of the people down there as ex-
pressed by two of the great dailies Of
Los Angeles, one a democratic paper
and the other republican. Referring
to the action Of the president in using
the navy and army to force Huerta to

THE KEY TO THE DOOR.

Enterprise is the key that unlocks
the door to success in every walk of
life. Every man who has achieved
real success in life, whether indus
trially, morally or socially has been
enterprislng, else he would not have
made the success. Many men are call
ed successful who are only manipulate
ing fortunes left them by some enter
prising relative. This is not real sue
cess. Real success is making some
thing out of nothing; developing some
thing that will help you and help 9TH
ers, and this can be done morally, So
cially and industrialy. No man has
ever yet made success by waiting
around like Dickens famous charac-
ter, Micawber, 'for something to turn
up" Nothing ever turns up unless
you have enterprise enough to turn 1t
up. The world is full of Micawbers.
1t is enterprise that has made the
desert blossom like the rose; it is en-
terprse that has revolutionized the
science of farming by the magic touch
of irrigation; it Is the last analysis,
enterprise, that has converted the gold
and silver, lead and zinc, and other
minerals below the ground into the
currency and bank notes above it.
Without enterprise, the richest soil
and the most valuable resources are as
nothing, while with enterprise, aided
by knowledge and experience, there
are very few corners of the earth that
will not yield living.
Success is not matter of latitude or
longitude, but of individual will and
power, and any man can be certain of
finding the world a fairly grateful and
place in which to live If
he has the proper qualifications, which
are all contained in the one word, en-
terprjse,

THE LEAD AND ZINC MARKET.

The low prices of lead and zinc APP
pear to be solely due to the general
business depression that prevails
throughout the country, and this gem
eral business depression Is in turn due
solely to the legislative program OF
the democratic congress and to the
lack of confidence in the democratic
administration. Beginning with the
Underwood free trade tariff bill, which
permits the foreigner to enter our
market at the expense Of the Ameri-
can manufacturer and farmer, the
currency bill followed, constructed Oh
lines which even It's trainers admit
render it largely experimental and
which is about to be administered in
a manner that reveals sectional favor
itism and partisanship in its execu-
tive board. Along with these the ad-
ministration shows pronounced hos
tility to the railroads and the great
Industrial enterprises of the country
to such an extent that they are
following the only safe course in adopt
ing a policy of retrenchment until
such time as the attitude Of the gov
eminent Is more favorable Under
these conditions a revival and expan
sion Of business can not be expected
neither can a change in these condi-
lions be expected during the life of
the democratic administration.
1t can not be denied that this is not
a very cheeful outlook, but 1t Is well
to look the situation squarey in the
face in order to understand 1t thor
oughly and be in position to change 1t
when the opportunity arrives, This
nation possesses all the elements to
maintain its people in prosperous
condition, and it is most exasperating,
to say the least. to see a political
party, under the pretense of reducing
the cost Of living. actually depriving
the people Of their inherent advan-
tages. For example, under normal
conditions the producers Of lead and
zinc have an ever-increasing market
at home for their products at prices
which insure steady employment at
high wages for a large number of
men. But in these democratic days
the manager of one of the big mines
has already grown weary of pocket
ing his losses" and has announced a
temporary shutdown and other mines
may be forced to do the same If the
decline in prices of the metals goes
much lower

INDUSTRY,
(Benjamin Franklin)

The way to wealth is as plain as the
way to market. 1t depends chiefly on
two words: industry and frugality;
that Is, waste neither time nor money,
but make the best use Of both. With
out industry and frugality, nothing
will do, and with them everything
Sloth makes all things difficult. but
industry all easy; and he that riseth
late must trot all day, and shall scarce
overtake his business at night, while
laziness travels so slowly that poverty
soon overtakes him.
Industry need not wish, and he that
lives upon hopes will die fasting. There
are no gains without pains. Then
help. hands, for have no lands; or If
l have, they are smartly taxed. He
that hath a trade hath an estate. and
he that hath calling, hath an Office
of profit and honor; but then the trade
must be worked at and the calling fol-
lowed, or neither the estate nor the Of
flee will enable us to pay our taxos
II we are Industrious we shall never
starve, for, at the workingman's house,
hunger looks in, but dares not enter.
Nor will the bailiff nor the constable
enter, for industry pay debts while
despair increaseth them
Employ thy time WELL If thou mean
est to gain leisure and since thou art
not sure of minute, throw not away
an hour. Leisure is time for doing
something useful this leisure the dill
gent man will obtain but the lazy man
never; for life Of leisure and a life
of laziness are two things.

THE UNKlNDEsT CUT,

A few weeks ago the Press-Times
in a labored editorial, undertook to
show how cheerfully the mining com

lar reference to the controlling owner

ket the loss" incident to the falling
price of lead and that they would not
"seize upon the fluctuations Of the
metal market as basis for an effort
at reduction" Of wages. There was
on the surface no apparent cause for
this reassuring editorial. for the STAN
dard of wages in this district is one
thing that seems to be permanently
established and no one had thought
Of its possible change until the ap-
pearance Of this brilliant effort in the
Press Times. Instead Of allaying APP
prehenson, 1t seems to have created
a suspicion in some quarters that it is
a forerunner Of sinister scheme to
change the standard Of wages. Some
one here, who was evidently much
concerned over the tone Of the editor
ial, sent 1t to the Miners Magazine at
Denver, organ Of the Western Fedora
tion OF Miners. and asked that 1t be
interpreted, and here is the result:

All this fuss about banks, and the

aminer, a democratic paper. says:
1.-THE nation was with him to a man.
with him in voice and heart, with
blood and treasure, with enthusiasm
and devotion when it thought he was
to lead an effort for the restoration of
peace in Mexico and for the establish
ment in that country of a government
which would assure enduring peace,
the development of it's resources, the
safety Of foreign capital there in
vested and the good order and increas-
ing prosperity of the Mexican people.
That was a task to which the people
OF the United States would joyfully
bend their best energies, an undertake
ing in which the president would have
been assured of their unfaltering sup
port.
Instead he has appealed to congress
for aid in what? Merely in chastising
and overthrowing Huerta-one figure
in the great drama Of Mexican chaos
Beyond that, nothing save the vague
promise to enable the Mexican people
to determine the form Of their gov
ernment--a promise that fulfilled
would prolong the present anarchy
Indefinitely.
"The president should amplify his
program II he desires enthusiasm
"A constructive policy for the erec-
ton, under American protection Of a
stable government, merits all possible
support. But to use the army and the
navy Of the United States merely to
discipline Huerta, without endeavor to
correct the evil state Of the Mexican
nation or without assurance that
Huerta's fall will only elevate Villa,
would be folly approaching crime.
I'm such folly the president can not
command popular support and it
would be well for him to dispel the
idea that such is the only policy he
has thus far formulated"
The Los Angeles Times, republi-
can paper, takes practically the same
view as will be seen from the fol-
lowing editorial:
1--WE hold no brief for Huerta. 1t Is
not because Of him that we regret the
administrators of this government
have not seen fit to recognize his post
ton, but because we believe it would
have been-and would be--the right as
well as the polite act for the United
States to make. The only reason that
President Wilson has ever made pub
lie for refusing to recognize Huerta
has been that Mr. Wilson did not con-
slider him fit to be president Of Mex
leo. BY no moral, legal or diplomatic
prerogative is Mr.. Wilson privileged
to arrOgate to himself the duties of
censor on the moral characteristics of
the heads of governments. Huerta
/ came to power in one Of those chaotic
descriptions which force the strongest
men into the seats of authority. He
represents the only semblance of gov
eminent in Mexico. And the very leas
that Mr. Wilson could have done woult
have been to have left Huerta to figh
out the salvation of Mexico in what
ever manner he could But Mr. viii.
son deliberately chose to aid and en-.
courage rebels that assumed arms
against the federal government. L
