MURDER OF M'MANUs.

The recent murder of John McManus
in Mexico City has inspired the verse
artist of Financial America to the fol
lowing:
A hundred Zapatistas are smashing in
my door
(The Stars and Stripes wave bravely
just above it,
A bomb is lying smoking close by me
on the floor
(This watchful waiting's pleasant
how l love it!)
They've ripped the Grand Old Rag
from the place it hung 50 long
(That is, since Carranzistas trampl-
ed on it,
I'd like to feel my Colt in the place it
should belong.
(But watchful waiting will not let
me don IT'D
They've set my house on fire; they're
swiping all my goods.
GIVE hard at Vera Cruz our ships
are lying.)
I'd give a million pesos to beat 1t for
the woods.
(This watchful waiting's grand-but,
Lord it's trying.)
They've got me in a corner, a bullets
plugged me through
q hope my Uncle Sam will hear
about it,
They've kicked me and they've knitted
me for cursing all their crew,
(They've fooled you, Woodrow Will
son, don't you doubt IT'D
They had murder in their hearts, and
now the murders done.
Qd hoped that Uncle Sam would
show his face up)
But I'll smile within my grave to hear
the greasers run
When Uncle Sam comes down to clean
the place up.

NO. 8.

back to the republican
ranks, and it Is found in the fact that
from every standpoint the democratic
has been failure. Tha
business depression that enveloped the
country Immediately following the
passage Of the Underwood bill con-
tinues to paralyze business enterprise,
IA situation that is 80 plainly apparent
that prominent democrats have APP
pealed to the administration to undo
its deadly work. But the democracy
Il so welded to its idol of free trade
that no relief can be expected so long
as il remains In control of the country.
The people realize now just as they
did during the last democratic admin
istration that the only relief must come
through a return of the republican
party to power which will mean the
restoration of the protective policy un-
der which they have always prospered,
! AS II placing the country on Il free
ira de basis was not enough, the demo-
cratic congress, under the control OF
the whip welded in the White house,
has devoted most of it's energies to-
ward the enactment Of laws for the
regulation of big business, with the re-
suit that confidence has been de-
stroyed Industrial enterprise stopped
and capital, ever ready to invest when
conditions are favorable for reasonable
return, Is idle in the banks and will
remain there until the government has
definite policy that will give it the
protection to which It is entitled
The foreign policy of the admins
tration has been so weak, vacillatine
and inefficient, particularly in its deal
ings with Mexico, that it has brought
the blush of shame to the face of every
patriotic American. The administra
ton itself has practically admitted Its
failure. and now after watching ant
waiting has added famine to the hor.
rors of war, it calmly states that the
troubles In Mexico are none of ouI
affair and that the unhappy people OF
that fair land must work out their own
salvation.
These are a few of the reasons why
the hosts Of republicanlsm are lining
up under a common banner with a firm
determination to wrest the control of
government from those who are incap-
able of conducting 1t in a manner that
Will bring prosperity to the people and
maintain the honor of the flag at home
ana abroad.

DIVIDEND DISBURSEMENTS IN
MARCH.

From reports made to Mining &
Engineering World 1t is apparent that
better times are in store for holders of
stock in American mines and works. A
careful compilation from these reports
shows that 70 companies paid divi-
dends during the first quarter of the
present year amounting to S1S,2O2, 1872.
This is indeed a remarkable achieve
ment when it is considered what the
industry has had to contend with dur
ing the past six months, for in no sim
liar period in the history of the in.
dustry has 1t undergone so many adj
versities. What with strikes with
war, with low metal prices, etc, it has
surely been a time Of trouble for the
mine operator.
In summarizing the dividends paid
during the first quarter of the year we
find that the 70 companies paying divi-
dends in this period have total de-
clarations to their credit Of 1915. 0S3,-
itallzation of $633,427lO7, or $1S1, $50
S13 in excess of outstanding capital.
Sixteen copper companies contrib
uted to the quarters total $3.50, Ats
This is a return of $173, 669,2 25 in ex-
cess Of outstanding capital
Forty eight of the above companies
operate properties classed as gold

REPUBLICANS COMING BACK.

Every day brings new evidence or
the get together movement that is rap
Idly reunlting the republican party,
and which presages Its return 20 power
in 1916. Perhaps the most significant
incident in this direction is the attt-
tude Of Colonel Roosevelt without
whom there would never have been a
progressive party and upon whom de-
ponds the maintenance of the remnant
of that organization. Colonel Roose-
welt is quoted as having stated that he
would support any man nominated by
the republican party for president ex-
cept Taft, which IL equivalent to say
ing he win support the nominee, for
there IL not the slightest probability
that Taft will be nominated. This
means that there will be no progress
siye party in 1915 and that those affili-
ated with that organization will again
be lined UP with the organization they
abandoned in 1912.

Hymn of Princes

The following poem was written in
1872 by John Brougham. but Il CORE
spondent who discovered it and sent
it to the Brooklyn Eagle points out
that it might just as appropriately
have been written for the present war:
Lordi We have given, in Thy name,
The peaceful villages to flame.
OF all the jewellers we've bereft;
No trace of hearth, no roof-tree left,
Beneath our war steeds iron tread
The germ of future life is dead;
We have swept DER it like blight
To Thee the praise, O God Of Right!
Some hours ago, ON yonder plain
There stood six hundred thousand men,
Made in Thine image, strong and rife,
With hope and energy and life;
And none but had some priced one
dear,
Grief stricken, wild, with anxious fear;
A third of them we have made ghosts
To Thee the praise, O Lord of Hosts!
We have let loose the demon chained
In bestial hearts, that unrestrained,
Internal revel it may hold,
And feast on villanies untold;
With ravenng drunkenness possessed,
And mercy banished from each breast,
All wars atrocities above:
70 Thee the praise o God of Love!
Secure behind a wall of steel,
TO watch the yielding columns reel
While round them sulphurous clouds
arise,
Foul incense waiting to the skies
From our home manufactured He'll
Is royal pastime We like Well
As momently Deaths ranks increase
To Thee the praise, O God of Peace!
Thy sacred temples we've not spared,
For they the broad destruction shared;
The annals of time hon0red lore,
Lost to the world, are now no more
What reck we if the holy fame
or learnng's dome is mourned in VAN?
Our work those landmarks to efface:
To Thee the praise O Lord of Grace!
Thus shall it be- while humankind,
Nadly perverse or wholly blind,
Will so complacenty be led,
A. nur command. their blood to she'd
For lust of conquest, or the sly,
Deceptive, diplomatic lie;
TO us the gain to them the ruth:
To Thee the praise, o God of Truth!

THE 1916 ISSUE.
EIihu Root Outlines the Work for The
Republican Party.

Republican Party.
Duluth News Herald)
If the republican party needs the ad-
vice of Elihu Root, it will have in the
coming campaign a much broader is
sue than the teriff; than this admin
istration's foreign policies as touching
the far east. Mexico and Europe; than
the defunct ship purchase bill, the
anti-corporation acts or than any of
these.
1t will indeed have a broader issue
than that of gold and free silver in
1896, or than it had in the last hall
century. He would include the whole
vast sweep of the relation Of the fed
eral government to national prosper
ity as this concerns finance, industry,
commerce, trade, business and the
business INTERPOLATION of the country's
sectional productive interests.
He would restore confidence to en-
terprise and the industrial activity on
which confidence is based. He would
wipe out the misunderstanding
which has arisen between the farmers
of the west and south, and of the cap
italists of the east and north, and
fight to the last ditch against increased
governmental regulation Of business
preventing the power of federal beau
rocracy becoming stronger
This Mr.. Root outlines as the mis-
sion of the republican party and he
urges all business men to throw off
their lethargy and rule of silence, and
again become active, talking political
as in 1896, in this even
greater national crisis.
He does not question the sincerity or
patriotism of the men who have put
business in the dock as at least semi
sentenced it to show stran-
gulation. To do so would be foolish.
as no party wants anything but what
Is best for the country; by this alone
can its continued control be assured.
But evidently he does question their
Judgment, and he is not alone in this.
rhe conviction is growing that in spite
IF the best of intentions whatever the
Democratic party does or tries to do
'pells business disaster.

The supreme court has just rendered
u decision in which it is held that
county commissioners have no author
lily to employ a special prosecutor in
criminal cases, but in cases where the
county attorney is disqualified the
district judge may appoint a prose-
cutor. The decision is one of consid-
cradle Importance to the taxpayers, as
1t has come to be common practice
for commissioners to employ special
prosecutors and pay them large fees
in criminal cases of unusual import
ance, while holding the regular prose-
cutor down to his regular salary.

gress in fifty years 1t has all been

has put business in the pillory.
1t is not good intentions, but results

the one thing this administration has
proved is that good intentions are a
mighty week foundation on which to
rest prosperity and the industrial and
productive welfare of this country.

TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO THE
coEUR D'ALENEs.

The Miner has long been an earnest
advocate of systematically advertising
the Occur dAlene district as n means
Of attracting capital for the further
development of our mining resources,
and il il therefore with satisfaction
that il views the action of the board
Of trade in issuing folder for DIS
lrIbution east and west for the pur-
pose Of inducing travel to and from
the Panama exposition through this
district There is perhaps no mining
section In the west of sufficient I'M
portance to compare with the Occur
d'Alene district for which as little has
been done in tie way of making its
resources known and the opportunities
offered for mining investment. The
tendency of the people OF most mining
Districts II to overdo publicity In the
form of reckless statements regarding
tho richness and extent of their mines
and the prospect for rich returns for
investments.
This sort OF advertising has never
characterized the Occur d'Alene dis
tr,ct for two reasons. First. the people
Of this district as rule ore not of the
kind that resort to such methods &c
secure investments, and, second be-
cause 1t is not necessary even II they
we're Of that class.
Without aid of special advertising
tho mining industry has slowly but
steadily advanced until 1t is toda!
recognized by those who are familiar
with its record as second TO none as
n field for conservative mining invest
ments. What the district needs Il
II let this fact be known to men wht
are on the lookout for investment, anC
that great as is the present production
the opportunities are today greater
ana more numerous than they were
years agI.
The wide distribution Of these fol-
ders which VIII soon be Issued by the
board Of trade will be In line with this
idea. 1t Will induce people to come
through here both going and coming
from the coast, giving them an oppor'
unity to see for themselves the mag
nltude of mining operations and I'M
press them with the possibilities for
large returns by taking advantage OF
opportunities still open The Occur
d'Aleue district stands strictly upon
Its merits, and the only boost II needs
IS the widest publicity of the facts
The board of trade has taken the first
step in publicity campaign. That 1t
win accomplish good results there can
be no doubt, but II should be followed
by systematic and intelligent work in
the same direction.

of each and every denomination.
According to history, religion has
been the means used to- keep nations
and issues divided The supersti-
tious inclinations born in humans are
easily preyed upon by religious, po-
litical and financial powers. The most
barbarous, fiendish and repeIling
atrocities have been committed in the
same religion by Jews, Mohamme-
dams, Gentiles, Catholics and Protes-
tants. The more ignorant the peo-
pie the stronger their faith and more
bitter their prejudice. Too bad such
a theory was ever conceived or
taught the human race.

And yet there has been no protest

SCIENCE-In my estimation the
biggest fakes are those which are
perpetrated upon an unsophisticated
public in the form of science.
There are thousands of people to-
day who will believe the most absurd
and unfounded statements, merely
because the claim is advanced that
they are scientifically correct.
1t requires no stretch of the imag-
nation, therefore, to understand why
soNmany people have been duped by
Phrenology. The phrenologist main
tains that the different mental facul-
ties are located in different parts of
the brain and that persons mental
or moral endowments may be discoV-
cred by exterior configuration of the
skull.
The phrenologist therefore pro-
ceeds to measure the head and feel

ing done so, the subject is told that
