While in New York Mir Hazelet interested a number cf capitalists in Alaska. and succeeded in bonding to them not only his own property, but also all of the claims on the Chisana river, for which he held options.

 A Cordova paper says: This after noon there Is copper ore lying on the wharf at Cordova to the value of over half a million dollars Twenty five cars had been brought from Kennecott on Sunday and this afternoon IA more cars were received. With the exception of one ear from the Mother Lode Cop per Mines Company the ore is from ,e Bonanza and Jumbo mines. It runs about e per cent copper, making 1860 pounds of copper in the 2.090 pounds to the ton. The 39 cars average 50 tons to the car, or total of 1.950 tons. As each ton has a value of $270, at 19& cents per pound. the total value of the entire shipment is $526,500. As the insurance on the copper ore only allows ore shipped on any vessel to reach the value of s25OOOO it is not permissible for any steamer to carry more than 1000 tons When the steam er Alameda reaches Cordova tonight from the westward she will take aboard nearly 1000 tons of the ore now here and convey 1t to the Tacoma shelter.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
AMONG THE STATES

A race to avoid being the last
state in the union to adopt compul-
sorry education is apparently under
way in the southern states, accord
ing reports received at the United
States bureau of education. There
are now only three states without
such laws, Florida having recently
Joined Texas and South Carolina in
adopting compulsory education by
legislative enactment. These three
states which will enact laws are
Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama.
The new Florida law provides
that a petition Of one-fourth of the
electors of any special school dis
trict or county, the county board Of
education shall call an election to
determine whether attendance shall
be compulsory therein. A three
fourths majority vote is necessary
for adoption. Children between 8
and IA years of age are required to
attend for at least 80 days each year,
unless exempt because of physical
or mental disability; because they
live 1-2 miles from a school and
no transportation is provided; be-
cause their services are required for
the support Of a dependent family;
or because their parents are unable
to privide books and clothing.
BY the provisions of the law the
county board of education are au-
thorized to appoint attendance Off
GERS to enforce the law and to take
census of the children between 6 and
Fl years of age.
Although the Florida laws is thus
of the optional type, it is a clear re-
cognition of the compulsory princi-
pie and is regarded as real step
in advance
Ofiicials of the bureau of educa-
ton point out that this years COM
pulsory educational legislation is
part of big educational advance all
along the line. Nearly all the STATE
legislatures were in session during
1915, aid much of the educational
discussion that has been going on
for several years crystalized into
law. The Alabama legislature has
reconvened for the summer secession
and much school legislation will be
discussed, including h compulsory
education law. The fact that Ala
bama does not meet again for four
years makes it likely that Georgia
and Mississippi may get ahead or her
in adopting compulsory education
unless action is taken this year.
In the field of compulsory educa-
ton throughout the United States il
is believed that the next steps will
have to do with the adoption of
statewide laws where optional laws
now prevail; the raising of the age
limit in conformity with the best
principles in child labor Hesitation
and more strict enforcement of ex-
isting laws.-Pensacola Journal.

Tampa in time to make speech on
Labor Day, Sept. 9Th.
In conversation with the writer
late yesterday afternoon the senate"
declared his stay in Gainesville had
been one of the most pleasant of his
life. In fact, the evidence bears him
out in this, for he and family came
here with the intention of spendin Z
only three days, and they made it
nine.
During that time the senator has
visited all, or nearly all, the out
lying towns and settlements. He l.,
greatly impressed with Alachua
county as embracing one of the
greatest sections Of the State. Her
roads, he says, are as a whole in
good condition. He only found one
road that could be called a bad one,
that from here to Hawthorne. All
the rest he declares will compare
we'll with the roads in any other Sec
ton of the State which he has trav.
eled.
During their stay the senator has
had the pleasure, he says, of adding
hundreds of people to his alread,
large list of friends, whether they
vote for him or not for Governor
He Is not, he says, personally soil
citing people to vote for him. He Is
just getting acquainted, acquaint.
ing them with his ambition and
leaving it up to them entirely as t.
whom they will support.

son was the object of several social
attentions. Besides a most charm.
, ing personality, she has one of thu
best voices in the State and delight.

Many here regret to see their visit
terminated.-Gainesville Sun.

DON'T JUMP ON MOVING TRAINS

Only recently several serious acct
dents have been narrowly averted in
this city, because of the practice of
people catching the train as it passes
through the town. The railroad
people could, under the Florida laws,
arrest every person who INDUCES in
the dangerous practice. But they
are like all other people. They do
not want to arrest their neighbors
and friends. The Division Superin-
tendent of the A. C. l.. has there
fore asked The Sun to publish the
following, in the hope that it will
make grwon people take notice
themselves, as well as call the at
tention of their children to the
danger:
Five thousand trespassers are kill
ed in the United States each year.
A minority are hoboes. Many are
respected citizens. A goodly number
are school children. Using the
track as short cut" home or to
work often proves a short cut" to
the grave. Were these 5000 killed
in one accident, the public would
rise as one man to stop it. Accur-
ing, as they do. one by one, the pub
lie is lamentably Indifferent.
More lives could be saved by the
enforcement of such laws than by
providing steels cars, installing
block signals, and abolishing grade
crossings, which, il required AT
ONE TIME would bankrupt every
railway in America. The anti
trespassing law will cost nothing
and will afford immediate relief,
leaving the other remedies to be
provided as the needs of the COM
munities and the financial ability of
the interested parties may de-
termine. One life is as precious as
another. Why throw all the safe
guards around the passenger and
none around the trespasser? The
way to protect the passenger is to
transport him safely; the tresspaser
to keep him from becoming one

There is a fine touch of the irony
which Fate so often hands out to us
in this world in the fact that just
as the Chicago Tribune had ceased
vituperating the whole South for the
lynching of Frank by small bunch
of disguised criminals in a Georgia
town, a big bunch of undisguised
men In the Tribune's own State IN
Murphysboro sought by every means
in their power to lynch a negro for
the murder of a white woman. 1t
took half dozen companies of SOL
diers to head them off, but the in
tent was there and 1t was as much
a reproach to the civilization of Il
iinois as the Frank lynching to tina,
of Georgia. But, unlike the Tribune.
we discriminate between the lawless
and law-abidinfg and don't denounce
the whole North as barbarous be-
cause of the attempted lynehing ir
an Illinois community.

PUT THE BLAME WHERE
IT PROPERLY BELONGS

For many weeks past in few Of
the papers in Florida there has been
an Intermittent stream Of abuse and
disparagement of certain State Of
ficials because of the failure of the
Florida Life Insurance Company and
of bank in Jacksonville, both be-
ing under the supervision of one Of
the departments of the State govern
ment. The readers of these articles
might almost have supposed that the
State officials were particeps crimi-
his in the failures because in the en-
ercise of their supervisory duties
they didn't prevent them
A desire for partisan advantage in
State politics by attempting to hurt
the administration was evident in
much of this writing, but as the
Telegram had no specific knowledge
about these failures we have made
no comment, one way or the other
But we reasonably inferred, as
fair-minded people would, that in
efficiency, or worse, on the inside,
rot to be foreseen or prevented Ey
the comptroller's department, was
the true cause of the breakdown OF
the two institutions, as is the case
in every other State in the Union
where such things occur. The fed
eral government exercises a watchful
supervision over the national banks
and they are regularly inspected, but
despite that they fail sometimes.
Not for that reason do the people
denounce the government, but they
lay the blame where it properly be-
longs upon the dishonesty or inei'i-
cheney of the bank people them
eelves.
The Ocala Star has somethin2 to
say along this line, which is well
said and which we reproduce as a
matter of simple justice to faithful
State officials who have been so in
temporarily aspersed and denounced
because Of these Jacksonville fail
ures. Says the Star:
Estate Comptroller Knott has
been for some weeks the subject OF
severe criticism on account of the
bank failure in Jacksonville last
winter, and some more recent fail
ures; also on account of the entan-
element of the Florida Life. Some
say he should have prevented the
failures; others, that he should pros.
ecute the dishonest or incompetent
bank and insurance officials. The
Star begs Mr.. Knots critics to BIZ
reasonable. Florida is not the only
State where banks suspend and in
surance companies go into bank
ruptcy. II set of bank officials de-
liberately 60 to work to wreck 6
bank, 1t is possible for them to dc
30 in spite of all the officials in the
country. We may have laws by the
score and officials by the hundred
but the main stay of bank has beer
and always will be the character q.
the men who manage it. And as TO,
prosecuting the guilty parties, un
less the Star is greatly mistaken
that is the business of the courts
Unless the Duval county grand jur.
brought indictments against the
bank and insurance company Off
cials, the Star does not understand
how Comptroller Knott could have
them arrested and tried
