a MASTER BUILDER GONE !.

When John Randolph OF Roanoke
was tainted with having expressed
his admiration for man who had
been his bitterest foe and who had
passed TO the Great Beyond, he is said
10 have responded: When the Lord
God Almighty puts his hand on q
man, think il is time for me to take
mine Off"
II is refreshing 10 note that the
finest tributes to the craftsmanship
and constructive leadership OF the
late Nelson w. Aldrich We're paid by
some of the great newspapers that,
during his life time, had been his
severest critics. The New York Times
an ardent advocate and supporter of
President Wilson, goes SO far as to say
that Senator Aldrich will be remem-
bered as the real author OF the re-
form which has given US the Federal
Reserve, Banking and Currency sys-
ten" No one familiar with the his
tory of the Monetary Commission, of
which Mr.. Aldrich was chairman, will
deny that he was the constructive
statesman whose genius pointed out
the way to reform and safeguard our
banking system.
Mr.. Aldrich, after receiving an
academic education, was a grocer 5
clerk at the age of seventeen. then
bookkeeper, then proprietor and soon
a man of large affairs in the business
world. During all the era in which he
was the Senate leader, he stood
resQlute for policies that he
believedwould aid the material well
fare of the American people. He was
for sound money, for protective
tariff, for fair treatment OF business.
big and little for the development of
our natural resources the construc-
tion of new railroads and the rebuild
ing Of our merchant marine.

FR,TERNAL SOCIETIES DEFINED

The fraternaIists, as well as readers
generally, will be interested TO know
that Senate Bill No. II, introduced by
Senator 0gg, to amend Section / of
Act No. 90 Of the Public Acts Of 1913,
passed both the House and the Senate
by good majority This Bill amends
Act No. 90 which defines what shall
constitute fraternal beneficiary socie-
ties, orders and associations, by setting
forth that such organizations, are to
have a ritualistic form Of work in or
der to come under the provisions of
the Act This proposition is based on
the proposition that true fraternity is
practiced only around the lodge room
altar, where members pledge TO aid
each other in sickness and death and
contribute to the assistance of the
unfortunate.
The law as enacted by the legisla-
ture in 1913, made certain exemptions
which permitted one association, with
out the lodge system or any mutual
obligation, without even the essential
teachings and practices of a true fra
ternity, TO do business under this Act
In other words, this society was grant
ed all of the privileges enjoyed by fra
ternal societies and at the same time
exempted from complying with the
reasonable provisions Of the Act.
The fraternal law as now amended
merely brings all societies under the
same general provisions, and IL any
society desires TO furnish benefits with
out complying with this law, it viii be
necessary for them 10 organize either
under the laws of an old line company
or under the Act provided for mutual
or assessment companies.

Instead OF turning away from the
captains OF industry and finance, he
advised with them, regarding legisla-
ton affecting business conditions. AS
Chairman OF the National Monetary
Commission, he made study of the
financial systems of other countries
visiting the great capitals of the
world, including London, Paris and
Berlin, and his comprehensive report
of the Commission is a monument TO
the Senator which will endure as long
as the Republic lasts.
Modest, unassuming, abstemious,
kind hearted and generous. he seldom
was heard in acrimonious debate. But
he held to his views with the stead
fastness that sincerity always gives
and thus won the respect of all his
associates. In the words of his
friend. Henry II. Dawson, He was a
great statesman and great patriot"
His power as a leader of the majority
stances he was helpful and most con-
siderate to those on the opposite side
of the house who had difficult prob
lens TO solve and who appealed TO
him for assistance.
Coming from the smallest state in
the Union, Rhode Island, the power
in the national chamber that Senator
Aldrich yielded was most surprising,
He was not fluent speaker and he
INDUCED in no flights of oratory. He
was plain business man, endowed
with remarkable sagacity and fore
sight. lie was sincere in his con-
victions. abiding in his faith i'm the
principles of his party, persistent in
pursuit of error and unyielding in
defence OF what he believed to be
right. Yet no statesman in our time
has suffered so much abuse from the
muckrakers and so much denuncia-
ton from the yellow journalists as
he. To neither of these did Senator
Aldrich ever pay the slightest atten-
ton. lie never read their diatribes.
He never looked at their cartoons.
He kept on in the course of life which
he had laid out for himself, serene
i'm the knowledge that his conscience
was clear, his honor unsullied and
his patriotism unquestioned.
Senator Aldrich lived to see the
swing of the pendulum away from the
policy of destruction back toward con-
structive legislation. The master
builders are once more being called TO
duty. Foremost among the master
builders of the United States, history
will place the name of Nelson w.
Aldrick Of Rhode Island.-Leslies

unconhrmed news.

unconfirmed news
Al the height OF the yellow journal
ism movement, host Of papers never
made efforts 10 distinguish between
rumor and fact. If there was a dis
patch that the laps had landed troops
on the Philippines. they chucked 1t i'm
and denied IL next day i'm small type.
More often they did not bother to i'm
sert any denial-unless IL had string
in the form of possible libel suit.
The war news is full of fakes. Some
Of these are feelers, sent out by some
government anxious TO try out GER
tain idea on public sentiment. The
conclusion OF war sets afioat daily a
thousand rumors that are merely some
ones surnise.
1t often seems as IL the big metro
politan papers fail to estimate high
enough the intelligence of the public.
The hustling jewellers in New York,
Chicago and San Francisco may be
too busy to read anything but head
lines. But there are millions OF others
who read intelligently and form opin-
ions When the editor puts a head
line on a story showing that he ac-
cepts il as fact, his audience may read
il through and pronounce il fake. A
newspaper that does that may sell on
street cars and railroad trains. But
il will never get any hold on homes
where thoughtful people read, esti-
mate, and weigh.
Could some newspaper men act on
the suggestions made by President
Wilson to the Associated Press, not
merely would this country be in bet
ter position to maintain advantageous
neutrality, but some newspapers
would command wider respect.

LOOKS GOOD TO OWNERS
STOCKHOLDERS ELECT OFF,
CERs-LET CONTRACT TO
cRoSSCUT AND DRIFT

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Silver Mountain Mining
company was held in this city last
Monday. The election of officers for
the ensuing year resulted as follows:
President, Jhillip Tice of Potlatch;
vice president, e, D. Wilkins of lone,
Wash; secretary, w. e. Horstkotte of
Potlatch; treasurer, E. l.. Fulton of
Potlatch. These with S. ]. Tennel, of
this city, constitute the board of di-
rectors. These gentlemen were all in

located between this city and Mullan,
on the south side of the river and OPP
posite the Morning compressor Upon
their return they expressed themselves
as greatly pleased with the progress of
work, the showing already made and
the prospect of rapid improvement.
Contract for 100 Feet.
Drifting on the main vein has dis
closed considerable lead and silver
values, but commercial ore is hardly
expected until the drift is extended
distance, when a change
in the formation will be encountered
that is favorable to ore. This is clear
ly indicated on the surface. A cross
cut has been started from this drift to
a parallel vein which in an upper tun-
mel shows values in copper and gold.
This upper work, while at a depth of
probably 400 feet, is apparently just in
the bottom of the heavy iron capping
that extends to this unusual depth.
Very good values in copper and gold
were found at this point. The crosscut
which has been started will give $50
feet additional depth and great conf
1ence If expressed that commercial
1re will be found. It is believed that
he vein will be reached within thirty
i've feet S. J. Tennel was given a
contract to drive 100 feet, which will
complete the crosscut and drift con-
siderable distance on the vein,
