h chief sorrow of the average au-
thor Is that he is neglected, either by
publisher or public. But occasionally
there is an exception. Once in a while
an author bewails the fact that the
public will not forget some particular
product of his pen. Usually it is some
output of his immaturity, a boyish in
discretion. Authors have even been
known to expend large sums to sup
press early editions. Sometimes states
men are embarrassed by the resurrec-
ton of violent love poetry. A United
States senator from Nebraska was
once defeated for reelection by the
press of his state ringing the changes

leading diplomats Of the world, was

THE LAST REUNION.

This was the struggling cohort that I

The horrid dangers of a brothers war.

PRESIDENTIAL A
Duluth News Tribune.


The republicans of Minnesota may
now realize what chumps they were
when they adopted the Presidential
primary law. There Is no possible way
under it TO get more than the individ-
ual preferences of those who choose to
vote. In a considerable field of candi-
dates this preference is quite sure to be
Ia minority choice.
The vote is not instructions for the
candidate getting a plurality vote fur
Ither than that delegates to the con
lvention pledge to faithfully carry out
the wishes and preferences of the vot-
ers" Of their political parties. This
means little or too much. 1t may be
taken as a complimentary vote or as
sticking to a candidate long after his
possible chance Is gone and he Is be-
ling kept in the list only to beat ONE
one else.
Candidates for delegates and elect
ors get on petition is necessary nor
any fee required. The limit of the
number of candidates Is as the blue
sky and anyone can vote as often as
he will, as there is no registry.
The four delegates at large and the
electors are to be on all ballots; but
Their will be separate ballots for each
congressional district to elect the two
delegates from each of them. The
chance Of any harmony or unity in the
total vote Is as remote as heaven.
Presidential candidates are made by
any 500 voters per candidate. AT the
request of that number of voters of
either party a candidate is made; but
the candidate so proposed need not be
a member or affiliate with that party.
Woodrow Wilson or w. j. Bryan. or
Theodore Roosevelt, can be placed on
the republican ticket, and must be, If
500 nominal republicans request 1t.
Strangely enough the law does not
provide that a voter shall sign but one
such petition, for this would be strange
We're 1t not entirely in harmony with
the general foolness of the whole law
In Its workings and provisions, and
from inception to adoption.

OF the glacial epoch in the valley of the
Red river and extended northward

There Is no state in the union more

SMELLING coEUR D'ALENE ORES

The announcement of the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan company that 1t would
build a smelter to handle It's own ores
and that 1t would be located in the
Occur d'Alene district is unquestion-
ably the most important move that
has been made In connection with the
mining industry in this district, and 1t
is one that involves tremendous pos
sibilities with respect to the develop
ment and operation of zinc and copper
mines as well as lead. Twenty years
ago, or even ten years ago, the reduc-
tion of lead ores in this district was
regarded outside Of the n of prob
ability. Coal, coke, lime, dry ore and
various other elements considered me-
cessary for smelling lead silver ore in
this district were barriers to success
full smelling, for the reason that 1t was
cheaper to ship crude ore or concen-
trates to the distant shelters than to
ship coal, coke. lime and possibly dry
ore to the smelter here. This situa-
ton Is now evidently changed, and at
the same time improved methods In
the treatment of ores have eliminated
some elements that were essential to
smelling several years ago.
While the Bunker Hill g. Sullivan
company is building a smelter primar-
lily for the reduction of its own ore,
and has authorized no statement re-
garding Its intentions in the matter of
handling other ores, 1t Is generally as
sumed that several other producing
mines of the district will also be &C
commodated and that small proper
ties having a little ore will also be able
to sell their product to the Bunker Hill
smelter and thus get much needed
cash to be used in carrying on devel-
opment. This last feature will be Of
tremendous benefit to the district al
large. and will infuse new life into
mining activity such as the district
never experienced before.
1t Is estimated that the Bunker Hill
& Sullivan smelter will give employ
to at least 500 men. This in it.

THE SONG or THE CAMP.
(Bayard Taylor)

.Give us a song!" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
when the heated guns of the camps
allied
Grew weary of b~ombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scoff.
Lay, grim and threatening, under;
And the tawny mound of the Malakoff
No longer belched its thunder.
There was o pause. A guardsman said:
1--WE storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
VIII bring enough of sorrow"
They lay along the batter's side.
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts, from Severn and from
Clyde
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not Of fame,
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle-eve confession.
And Irish Morals eyes are dim
For a singer dumb and CORY:
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of "Annie Laurie"
Sleep, soldiers, still in honored rest,
Your truth and valor wearing;
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.
