the campaign of 1912 Chairman Nc
Combs was sick much of the time and
the duties of chairman devolved upon
Mr. McAdoo, who was treasurer of
the national committee. While SO

would radically reduce the tariff and
admit their goods free into the Am

made Mr. McCombs get up from a

tial situation is not from the mouth
or pen of any professional prognosti-
Gator, but comes from Hon. w. E.
Borah, United States senator from
Idaho, and himself possibility as a
republican candidate.
There is extant a prophecy that Mr.
Borah will be the candidate in 1916 1t
is made by Colonel George Harvey, of
the North American Review, and long
editor of Harper's Weekly. Harvey
was the original Wilson man, though
he does not boast about 1t nowadays.
He predicted Wilson's nomination and
election as governor of New Jersey,
and his nomination and election as
president, thereby gaining immense
prestige as political prophet COL
onel Harvey is not so enthusiastic
about President Wilson as he was
about Candidate Wilson. 1t may not
be forgotten that Dr. Wilson after his
nomination bluntly told Editor Har-
vey that the support of Harper's
Weekly was hurtful to him. President
Wilson is nothing IL not frank when
his friends do not please him.
There will be a prevalent opinion
that the Borah guess is better than
the Harvey guess as to 1916.

BREAKERS AHEAD FOR THE Ap
MINlSTRATIoN.

Now that President Wilson has fin
ally nerved himself up to the point Of
proposing a plan to increase the army
and navy to point that would give
the country measure Of protection In
the event we should become involved
in war, he finds that his plans are to
be opposed by leaders Of his own
party. The irrepressible Bryan, who
left the cabinet because the president
insisted upon inserting a small stick
in his grape juice when dealing with
he kaiser, Immediately replied to the
presidents Manhattan club speech by
announcing that he would oppose the
plan to increase the army and navy
with all the power at his command
After all the ridicule that has been
heaped upon him. Bryan is still the
which may mean much or little, de-
pending upon the point OF view. That
he still retains a large following in his
party can not be denied, and his OPP
position to the presidents program
may mean ITS defeat without the aid
of republican votes. The situation is
made more grave by the announce
ment that the democratic leader of the
house, Claude Kitchln, will also OPP
pose the army and navy program.
Clearly the president is going to find
hard shedding, and unless he Is dis
posed to make concessions in the line
of preparedness to conform to repub-
lican ideas, 1t is by no means certain
that he can carry out his prepared
ness plan. The republicans are prac-
tically united on the question, and in
this they represent the overwhelming
sentiment OF the people OF the coun-
try. But they will without doubt be
disposed to support the president II
his plan proves to be practical and in
line with establishing and maintaining
an adequate and efficient army and
navy. 1t is question that rises
above party and republicans in con-
gress win 50 regard 1t.

PREVENT RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The last few years have witnessed
a large increase in the number OF ac-
cidents at railroad crossings. particu-
larly In collisions with automobiles,
which is no doubt partially accounted
for in the large number of automo-
biles In use. This Is a matter that Is
receiving much attention from rail-
road companies particularly in the
east, where the dense population rem
ders the dangers much more immin-
emit. Through publicity in the news
papers the cooperation Of the public
has been enlisted and more attention
is now given to the safeguards adopt
ed by the companies which will no
doubt soon result In q reduction In
the number OF accidents. A recent
circular from the central committee of
safety OF the O.-W. r. & ". company
indicates that western roads are max
ing strenuous efforts to reduce the
number Of accidents at crossings and
are appealing to the public for assist
ance in that commendable work.
While the railroad companies are not
always blameless, 1t is fact that as
rule trains give warning upon APP
preaching crossings by whistling and
ringing the bell, but In the face Of
these warnings it is not unusual to
read accounts of automobiles being
run down by locomotives because the
occupants disregard warnings of
danger from approaching trains. This
is matter in which both the railroads
and the public are deeply concerned.
The latter rightly exacts from the
railroads the most rigid rules and pre-
cautions to prevent accidents at the
crossings, and the public should as
sumo part of the obligation to pre-
vent them by insisting that the safe
guards adopted by the company are
strictly observed.

THOMAS JEFFERSON ON RIGHTS
OF NEuTRALS.

(From a letter of May is, 1898, from
the American secretary of state
to the British minister)
Our citizens have always been free
to make, vend and export arms. 1t is
the constant occupation and liveli-
hood of some of them. To suppress
their callings, the only means, per-
haps, of their subsistence, because q
war exists in foreign and distant
countries in which we have no con-
Germ would scarcely be expected. 1t
would be hard In principle and i'm
possible in practice. The law of ma
tons, therefore, respecting the rights
OF those at peace does not require for
them such an internal arrangement
OF their occupations. 1t is satisfied
with the external penalty pronounced
In the presidents proclamation, that
of confiscation of such portion of
these arms as shall fall into the hands
of any of the belligerent powers on
the way to the ports Of their enemies.
To this penalty our citizens are
warned that they will be abandoned.

PROFITS IN ZINC SMELLING.

Engineering and Mining JournaD
Contrary to the popular idea, the
zinc smelters do not always make
money, no matter how extensively
they rob" the miners whose ore they
buy. In fact, a good many of the
ventures in zinc smelling have been
disastrous to those who put their
money into them. The extraordinary
turn of the tide in 1915, however, has
enabled almost everybody to make
money In smelling, no matter how
imperfect his plant and methods, and
several of the concerns that previous
ly were in a bad way have been en-
abled not only to get their accounts
into good shape, but also to arrive In
a position for the payment of divi-
dends.
Thus the American Zinc, Lead and
Smelling company, which about year
ago was practically a derelict with
neither money nor credit, has paid Off
its indebtedness of about $1,750,000
and ere long will probably be consid-
ering the payment of a dividend. The
Ianyon Starr Smelling company
which for number Of years has not
earned enough to pay dividends, even
on it's preferred stock, recently de-
clared a dividend of "a per cent on
that class Of stock, to provide for all
cumulative dividends up to July l.
1915.
Zinc smelling has been very pro-
fitable during 1915, but it has been the
big zinc mining companies, like the
New Jersey company, CRANKY Mining
and Smelling company, Butte & Su-
perior Copper company and Inter
state Callahan Mining company that
have earned and paid the Spectator
dividends. The earnings of the Am
erican Zinc, Lead and Smelling COM
pany moreover, are derived to a great
er extent from it's Mascot mines than
from the smelling branch of it's bust
ness.

WILSON AND WAR.

An unusual amount Of gush has
been INDUCED in by our democratic
friends in an attempt to make 1t APP
pear that President Wilson. in pre-
venting the United States from be-
coming involved in the European war
has accomplished a feat such as no
other man could or would have done
under similar circumstances. They
seem to forget that history shows
that other presidents have been called
upon to deal with identically the same
Iperplexing questions and were sue
cessful in steering the ship of state
through neutral waters just as sue
cessfully as the present occupant of
the White House. No patriotic citi-
zen would deny the president the
credit that is due him, and in COM
mending him for preserving friendly
relations with the warning nations Of
Europe we can afford for the moment
to forget his laundering and humili-
ating policy in dealing with Mexico
albeit he will be held to answer for 1t
in the campaign that is now rapidly
approaching. So far as the belliger-
ent nations of Europe are concerned,
President Wilson's attitude toward
them has been no more than the
country had right to expect Of its
president, and in doing his plain duty
he Is entitled to no special commend
alton. On this point Senator Sher-
man. OF Illinois, in a recent speech be-
fore the Home Market club Of Boston,
said
1.-The democratic party appeals for
support and asks that President Will
son be reelected because he has kept
us out of war with Europe. In 1858
Franklin Pierce, democrat, was
president. The Crimean war began
then. For more than three years
Great Britain, France, Turkey and
Sardinia fought Russia. President
Pierce maintained peace. In 1871 the
Franco Prussian war broke out. Gen.
eral Grant, a republican, was presi-
dent. He kept the peace. A few
years ago the Russo-Japanese war
presented similar questions of neu-
trality and the rights Of neutrals.
Theodore Roosevelt, a republican,
was president He, too, kept us at
peace.
why should Pierce, Grant or
Roosevelt have involved us in any of
chose past wars of the old world?
Why should President Wilson involve
us in the present European war?
other presidents did only their duty
then. 1t is equally President wilson's
duty now There is no more reason
why the president should enter into
war now than the presidents named
in other years."

WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN.
tRobert J. Burdette)

Somewhere out on the blue sea sailing,
Where the winds dance and spin;
Beyond the reach of my eager hailing,
over the breakers din;
Out where the dark storm clouds are
lifting,
Out where the binding fog Is drifting
out where the treacherous sand Is
shifting.
MY ship comes in.
Oh have watched till my eyes We're
aching,
Day after weary day;
O l have hoped till my heart was
breaking
While the long nights ebbed away;
Could I but know where the waves
had tossed her,
Could / but know what storms had
crossed her,
Could l but know where the winds
had lost her,
Out in the twilight gray!
But though the storms her course have
altered,
Surely the port she'll win.
Never my faith in my ship has altered,
know she is coming in.
For through the restless ways of her
roaming,
Through the mad rush of the wild
waves foaming.
Through the white crest of the pillows
combing,
My ship is coming in.
Breasting the tides where the gulls
are flying,
Swiftly she's coming in;
Shadows and deeps and rocks defying,
Bravely she's coming in.
Precious the love she will bring to
bless me,
Snowy the arms she will bring to
caress me-
In the proud purple of kings she will
dress me
My ship that is coming in.
White in the sunshine her sails will
be cleaning,
See where my ship comes in;
At masthead and peak her colors
streaming,
Proudly she's sailing in;
Love, hope and joy on her decks are
cheering
Music will welcome her glad appear
ing,
And my heart will sing at her stately
nearing,
When my ship comes in.

Two fatal accidents in the Morning
mine, owned by the Federal Mining q
Smelling company within the last
few weeks occurring under very sim
liar circumstances have called atten-
ton to a grave danger to employees
that possibly exists in all mines where
electric haulage through long adits
prevail. The victim Of the first OF
these accidents died last Sunday. He
had been called underground to make
some repairs and when ready to re-
turn telephoned the station outside TO
know II the track was clear. Being
informed that 1t was he started out
on the motor. Hardly q minute had
elapsed when the man in charge OF
the outside station discovered that he
had made a mistake and that the ore
train had started in. He rushed to
the phone only to find that the first
motor had started out, and collision
in the mile and half tunnel was in
eyitable. A few days later, In the
same tunnel the ore train crashed
into cars left standing on the track
resulting in the death of the motor
man. Ia
It has been only few weeks age

ger of the Federal company stated In

THIRTY YEARS OF PROSPERITY.
mining World, Chicago)


The completion of 80 years of prac-
tically steady production for a mine
is worthy of more than passing notice
The Bunker Hill mine at Wardner
Idaho, on September 10 last reached
the 25th anniversary of its discovery
This famous lead-silver mine was dis
covered on September 10, 1885, by H.
IS. Kellogg and Phil O'Rourke and a
jackass. Tradition has it that the
jackass was the real discoverer, or
the real cause of the discovery. There
may be doubt on this point, but there
is no doubt that one of the worlds
greatest mines was discovered on
day.
Since the beginning of mining OPP
erations the mine has been big pay
ing proposition. On October last
the Bunker Hill. or Bunker Hill g.
Sullivan, paid dividend No. PIT of
$s1,750, making a total to date of
$16,527,750, a record unsurpassed by
any lead-silver producer Although
millions Of dollars worth Of ore has
been taken from the upper levels, de-
velopments at depth have opened
enormous ore bodies.
While the mine is an exception, 1t Is
striking illustration of the posi-
bilitles open to the prospector and to
the investor in mining ventures. Such
finds are the hope that spur the pros
pector to continue his search for H.
lusive wealth. Other mines of as
great value are doubtless awaiting
discovery and development.
