Criminals Are Upheld

President Ryan and other officers of the structural
iron workers union were convicted some time ago, as &C
cessories before the fact, of completely in the dynamiting
of the Los Angeles Times building, an act that cost TWEEN
ty-one lives and the destruction of nearly a million dollars
worth of property. Many other non-union structures had
also been dynamited and many lives sacrificed.
One of the last witnesses called before the federal CON-
mission on industrial relations was Anton Johansen, a la
Dor ag1tatOr of San Francisco, who has been under indiCt-
ment several times. When asked whether he regarded
Ryan and his colleagues in crime as innocent victims be-
cause of their penitentiary sentences he replied: Its &C
cOrding to what you mean by innocent believe that
Ryan and his associates did nothing that was a crime
against labor or against a better society," In commenting
on this, "Wayfarer' in the Oakland Enquirer says:
mot denying that Ryan and his colleagues had sys-
tematcally aided in dynamitng non-union buildings and
other structures, or that they were guilty of participation
in that which resulted in the Times MURDERS, Dohansen,
not denying that their acts were crimes against the law
and society, denies that Ryan and his colleagues committed
any crimes against labor. According to Johansen, it APP
sale and cOwardly murder, if it be done in what the perpc-
traitors consider to be the interest of labor. Murder, com
m1tted IN the interest of labor, is as much a crime as it is
when committed in the interest of capital. If labor ever
comes to believe that it is privileged to defy the laws, it be
comes anarchiStiC
IF labor ever shall succeed by foul means in gaining
what 1t desires, 1t itself will suffer from internal fOulness
that will compel it to pay more for what it gains than that
which 1t gains is worth to it. If labor becomes anarchistic
and wins what it v wants, labor will find ample cause to curse
the day on which it won. For anarchy means the triumph
81 might over right and the substitution of the rule of the
individual for the rule of the many; and that means tyran-
MES and cruelties for the weak many at the hands of the
physically powerful few. Labor can not afford to look
upon murderers as martyrs, nor to permit itself to be de
luded into the belief that it will be happier and better OF
if it shall succeed in grabbing, by foul means, tic reins Of
government to ITSELF

Cooper Producers Warned

AS a result of the European war the United States will
have brought home to its citizens an appreciation and un-
derstanding of world economics, such as it needs so badly,
says Mining World. AS a result of this war Americans
will see that a nation having such great and varied re-
sources as the United States is / foolish indeed to continue,
after 1t has reached a state of development as now charac-
terizes the industries of this country, to ship most of it's
products to Europe in a raw condition. Americans will
appreciate that the United States, as it produces most of
the mineral wealth of the world, should have a large for
eign trade IN finished products as we'll as in raw materials.
Instead of sending so large a proportion of our copper
and other metals to foreign countries there to be manu-
1actured into finished articles and then sent back to us. we
should be shipping as unfinished copper only a few million
pounds more than is sufficient to fill the home requirements
OF Europe, and manufacturing the balance ourselves, to
I'LL not only Our own wants, but also a large proportion of
those of North and South America.
In an interview recently, d. C. lacking. one of the
most successful copper producers of the present age, stated
that 1t is an economic blunder when the American produc-
ers, who are supreme in the copper mining industry, ship
abroad 90 per cent of output, are willing to sell their COP
per assets which can never be, replaced, at a paltry profit of
two or three cents a pound, for which the next generation
may pay dearly.

a visitor at Venice of $1,000 by the same racetrack
swindle, is serving ten years in the state penitentiary.
Byrne, his confederate, received the same sentence,
but, having been granted a new trial by the appellate
court, is at liberty under a light bond.
Is it possible that this renewed activity of the
crooks is due to the temporary success attending
Byrne's fight to escape or defer punishment Can it
be that the fact that he walks the streets inspires them
with the hope that they can continue their nefarious
operationsa 1t is a scandal and reproach to Los An
geles that a single one of these swindlers should be at
large.
Tourists should be on their guard against repos-
ing confidence in chance acquaintance. They must

They can take it for granted that the new acquaintance
who offers to show them how to double their money,

Tourists Are Warned

For years Salt Lake City has been a safe haven for
the bunco artist, and he has piled his trade there without
much fear of police interference. About the only com
petitor the mormon capital has west OF the Mississippi
river is the chemically pure city of Los Angeles. There
the fake pool room buncoist is at his best. This OF course
is known to every intelligent person, but nobody ever eN-
pected an admission from any Los Angeles source. 1t is
for that reason that an editorial in the Los Angeles En-
press headed "Tourists, Beware is a decided novelty. EN-
cuses are made by the Express for the deplorable condition
that exists, but the admission is actually made in these
words:
A Kansas visitor to Los Angeles was fleeced a few
DAYS ago of more than $500. Confidence men who
pretended to run a racetrack poolrOom, where bets
ostensibly were laid on purely imaginative races, sue
ceeded in relieving the Kansan of his roll. Like many
others who have been caught by that ancient trick, he
made the acquaintance of a plausible stranger, who
undertook in friendship to show him a pot of money.
The crooks now have his money, and he has a stock of
high-cost experience.

Mine Company Dividends

During the five months just ended American metal
mines and works (not including iron, coal or minor metal
mines) to the number of ninety divided among sharehold-
ers SEQ, 57o,O5I. That these mines have a history of profit
able operation is evidenced by reports made to Mining
and Engineering World, which show since Incorporation
they have enriched shareholders to the extent of $685.
6S2, 325. This is indeed a remarkable record, and when it
is considered that there are many companies operating
mining properties at a profit, but which do not make pub
lie their reports, and which have paid millions in divi-
dends, it is self-evident that American mine operation is a
profitable undertaking when carried on in an ~up-to-date
business manner. Then. too, we have the dividend pay
ments of the notwithstanding corporations, five in num-
Der, which have paid out SO far this year $5,So3.3 S3 and
since incorporation $IS2,SS6, Io2. A large portion of these
dividends should be added to the above total, as their
profits are in part derived from the direct operation of
mines.

Safeguards Should Be Provided

Goldfield mining stocks have at various periods in the
camps existence served as the football of designing
1nanipulators in the east, and local traders have been prac-
tica1ly at the mercy of INSCRIPTIONS scalpers and market
sharks. This condition has been magnified during the
past few months, in which some of the leading companies
have been threatened by impending litigation, and the
market, in consequence, has been particularly susceptible
to bear influences.
It is a notable fact that, in spite of a policy of liberal
and absolutely authentic publicity on the part of local COM
panies, the public has been prone to accept rumors and
reports unfavorable to the mines and calculated to depress
stock values. There is no known method of counteracting
this evil, unless it might be a more careful supervision by
the various mining stock exchanges over the methods en-
ployed in transacting business under their auspices. Some
action in this direction would at least inspire greater con-
tidence in these exchanges on the part of the public and
would be an influence for the maintenance of greater
stability and less manipulation of prices.

Stay at Home, Mr.. Walsh

The federal industrial relations commission has
blown up after squandering a lot of money and making
a lot OF persons mad. 1t may have been necessary to
squander the money, but it was not necessary to arou,.
angry passions. This criticism lies against the charm n
OF the commission, Frank p. Walsh of Kansas CITY. VITO

commission had to demonstrate with him. John d.
Rockefeller and his associates were Walsh's especial vic
Because of Chairman Walsh's tactics in examining
witnesses he early brought down upon the commission adj
verse criticism by the press of the country. For instance.
the Christian Science Monitor, an eminently fair publica-
ton, edltoria[y comments on Walshs treatment of young
Rockefeller IN the following language:
"Whether the citizen brought before a public commits

titled, as we regard human rights, to decent treatment and

OF proceedings, was not questioned with a view to the dis

the performance OF duties assigned it by law, but, rather.
with the view OF committing him, regardless of testimony
addlced, to lnslnuated thoughts, beliefs, opinions and even
acts OF which to common knowledge he has no conscious
ness or cogn1zance and with which he has no sympathy.
A deplorable feature of the case is that
federal authority stands behind the body that tolerated the
procedure in question"

Mining and Scientific Press: Platinum was the sub
'ect OF recent discussion in these columns. We are glad to
give publicity in this issue to an excellent description OF
the Boss Springs deposit in southern Nevada by Mr.. Adolph
knopf of the geological. survey. The writing is a model of
clear exposition. By his authoritative account of the
geological environment, he will have afforded a useful
guide for further exploratory work in search of this valuable
metal and its equally valuable associates. 1t is interesting
TO note how one OF the richest of these, the rare mineral
piunboJaros1te, assaving as much as $4,000 per ton, looked
like the ordinary "black sand of the placer miner. Incl
dentally, we note elsewhere in this issue that the Russian
government will impose an export duty of 30 per cent on
platinum from the Ural region, beginning on the goth of
the current month. This will tend to decrease shipments
of the metal from the chief source of supply.

The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-11-04

Minn in 1908 and the latter part of the same year
became connected with the Merchants National
Bank of this city. When the First State Bank was
reorganized in 1912 he went with that institution as
vice president and has remained in that capacity
since He is member of the Commercial Club, Fair
Association and Fire Department. He was married
about two years ago and has one daughter.
Laurel L. Kells, cashier, was born in Sank Centre
in 1885, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lucas Kells He grad
uated from the local high school in 1900 and then
took four years course in the academy and four
years in the law college at the University of Min
nesota, graduating from college in 1908. He i'm
mediatey came to Sank Centre and entered into the
practice of law. At school he affiliated with the
Theta Delta Chi and Phi Delta Phi fraternites. For
the last three years he has been city attorney and
also examiner of titles, to which position he is ap-
pointed by the county district court. Mr.. Kels is
member of the Commercial Club, Fair Association,
fire department and is Blue Lodge, Chapter and
Council Mason He married to Miss Laura
Thomson, a Sank Centre girl. They have two child
rem and reside at the old Kels home on West Fourth
street.

and younger blood has been infused, new policies
and methods introduced, until the bank is now an IN
corporated state institution and its destlnles are
largely dominated by F. Dubois and l.. l.. Kels,
young men and both of whom were born and rear
ed in Sank Centre. The former is of the pres
ent president and the latter is of one of the
founders
At the time of the founding of the bank, Lucas
kells became the directing head of the house. E. T.
Barnum was cashier and eventually secured an in
terest in the concern. Solomon Pendergast remain
ed silent partner.
In 1890 Lucas Kells and his brother, Lyman l..
Kels, purchased the interests of Pendergast and
Barnum and continued the bank private lnstl-
tuition until 1908. That year the bank was incor-
porated under the state laws and the name changed
to the First State Bank of Sank Centre. The Off
GERS were Lucas Kells, president; Lyman M. Kels,
vice PRESIDENT Robert R. Kels, cashier, and Laurel
l.. Kells, assistant cashier. The first three named
constituted the board of directors.
In 1912 came reorganization and the following
officers took control j. A. Dubois president; M f.
Woodbury., vice president; B. F. Dubois, vice pres
ident L. L. Kells, cashier These remain as the
present officers and with J. F. Cooper and Thomas
Sullivan form the directors.
The bank first saw life in little wooden shack
on its present location, Fourth and Main streets Two
years later, 1882, Messrs Pendergast and Kels
erected the present two-story brick building, util-
izing the then-famed Pangburn brick in the
struction work Ten years ago the interior was re-
modelled to afford and fre-proof
vault and burglar-proof safe installed This coming
year the officers plan to again remodel the interior
