THE WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE.

The Barnes-Roosevelt libel trial
brings back into the public eye two
notable personages who had been more
or less obscured in the passing OF re-
cent events. 1t Is a political trial, an
echo Of the previous trial between the
two when the public sat as judge and
jury and rendered verdict against the
gang Of politicians Of which Barnes
was accredited superintendent OF
right o'way and maintenance. The
present trial is not attracting uni
yersal attention because the public
considers that organization Of poll
ticians disrupted and discredited fully.
1t has no use for Barnes on the TecoTd
of the previous trial or for those
whom he commanded and by whom ne
was commanded, SO the trial seems
to be more personal than political to
the average reader OF daily newspa-
pers.
Much water has passed under the
bridge since Roosevelt was a political
pillar of fire and Barnes the synonym
OF that school Of politics in which the
Platts and Depews and their ilk were
the faculty. Roosevelt has fallen away
from the vast popularity that he owned
and deserved then. Barnes has been
dismissed but not forg often. In the
public mind his name still lends itself
to the definition Of party conditions
and management that accomplished
the most sudden disorganization of
mighty party and brought popular re.
pudiation Of its national convention
and its nominee and the bitterest and
most complete defeat of its history.
Roosevelt led the revolt. But there
is nothing in common between the po-
utical history OF Theodore Roosevelt
and that of Barnes. Politically as in
character the men are az wide apart
as the poles. Roosevelt was and re-
mains a great man. He was and still
is a leader. He forced before the peo-
Die issues and facts upon which they
found a verdict. Barnes Is accredited al
the tool of interests. a factor or fore
man for the sordid who far1ned the po-
Ntical fields to their own profit. When
these sauatters were evicted the fore
man lost his job. He also lost the
Quasi dignity and the authority the
lob gave him. AS between Roosevelt

THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.

Friends Of Elk Sheriff o. o. Rock, OF
Harrison county, will urge his appoint
ment as one Of the four district Of
flcials provided by the legislature for
the purpose of aiding in the enforce
ment of state laws.
Mr.. Rock has proven his worth in
work Of this character. He served eight
years as sheriff in Harrison county
and his record is clean and sound
thruout. Indeed. it is greatly to be
doubted if better sheriff's record
could be found in the state than that
which Mr.. Rock made in his work for
Harrison county.
These offices are important. They
will require men especially qualified by
experience and disposition to render
effective service Mr.. Rock possesses
the requisite qualifications for a work
of this character. He is also some
thing more than slauth; he is man
of good habits, good character and un-
questioned integrity. His appointment
would meet the approval Of every man
in western Iowa who is in favor OF
obedience to law aud order

There is more bitter feeling among

Future of Silver.

With the present great war in Eu- rope, and gold going into hiding, it be- comes manifest that another coin is necessary, and that metal, as hereto fore, is silver. England was the first to demonetize silver, and all signs point that she will be among the first to re- monetize it at certain ratio through necessity. A bright future seems to be before us, and ere long we may expect to see our dormant and deserted silver camps teem with prosperity as of yore. Idaho Springs Mining Gazette.

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Feb. An view of the fact that coal is very high in cost, and that it is difficult to get enough fuel for the railways, the dis covery of valuable peat deposits close to the railroad station and harbor of ltabapoana is believed to show the way to good substitute. The main deposit is thirty kilometers wide and six meters deep. Samples which have been anal yzed in this city show that this peat possesses exceptional calorifc proper ties, and efforts will now be made to get the railroads to give the product a thorough trial.

 c. B. Wood, in an article in the Phenix Republican, covers what he appears to think is the mine tax mat ter in nutshell. He takes the view that tax of twelve and one-half per cent on the gross and four times the net would be inadequate tax, and cites the tax levied on the O'Neil building. This building is taxed at something over 100, O,0O0$. Now, the building pays rentals of say 12,0OO$ per year and 6,OOO$ of that is net. The building would then be paying tax on 24,OOO$, plus one-eighth of 12,00O$ or 18OO$ more, making the total tax on the building and grounds 25,8OO$. But MT. Woods in his hurry forgot something. We will take the O'Neil building as an illustration. It is assessed at 100, 0O0$, then it returns gross rental of 12,- OOO$, and net of 6,000$, and the 25,- SOO$, which the gross and net indicate, would again be taxed at the 12 1-2 and 4 times, as in the mine tax case, and there you would have it. In the case of the O'Neil building, under the pres ent tax law, it is taxed once, but if the mine tax law was applied to it it would have some more taxes to meet. The same proposition would hold good with the farmer. He would be taxed on his land, his improvements and on the value of his crops, if the mine tax law was applied to him.

To judge from appearance we would say that at least three feet of snow on the Wallapai mountains the past two weeks. The storm of last Monday night and Tuesday with it's driving wind took large part of the snow from the foothills and even high up on the noun tain side. The storm was wonder ful for this part of the country, as it filled every gulch and put the springs to overfiowing everywhere within radius of 100 miles of Kingman. In the Wal lapais, report has it that Deluge wash was higher by four feet than ever be- fore known, which is going some, as that stream sometimes goes on ram page and flows quantity of water only exceeded by the Colorado river itself. But, nevertheless, the storm so filled the shafts in that section that work had to be discontinued for the present, with the exception of the Leviathan people, who are operating their holster to ad- vantage.

The Presidents Bad Pre-
dicament.

President Wilson is now in the
unenviable position of a man as
sailed from within and without
his own party. The tariff policy
which he put into effect year
ago has acted quite as disastrous
ly upon the industries and agri-
culture Of the South as it has up
on the North. The result is that
he finds the solid South slipping
away from him. The country
witnessed, with astonishment,
the attack of Governor Colquitt
of Texas, who has hitherto been
regarded as one of the Presidents
warmest admirers. None of the
political opponents of the Presi-
dent has ever indulged in such
scathing criticism of the policies
of the present administration as
did the Governor of Texas. The
latter points out clearly and con-
cisely the points on which the
President has failed to make
good; he declares that the for
eign policy of the administration
is a joke and that it's tariff policy
has prostrated the industries of
the country and left thousands
of men without employment.
This language might have been
expected from the mouths of the
Presidents opponents, but hard.
