"I Am Out of Politics"

No, Colonel Roosevelt, you are not
out of politics. YOU have not quilted
the unique position your abundant vi
tality and intelligent ambition have
created for you. Nor do you want tC
quit it; and if you seriously harbored
a desire so. to do, your neighbors in
forty eight States. two Territories and
the island possessions of this Union
would not permit 1t.
You will continue to participate In
the domestic and international affairs
of your country with undiminished
force and vigor. Your lively interest
in the problems that perplex your fell
low citizens will exercise an irresisti-
BILE fascination for you, to which you
will yield without false pretence and
without reluctance. Your inspiring
curiosity and philosophic disposition
will compel you to activities involving
the consideration of political matters
the condition of the nation, the poll
cies of parties and the idiosyncracies oi
individuals, and you will not be per-
mitted to withhold the fruits of your
observations and cogitation from q
public that since your first appearance
among its counsellors and leaders has
shown no sign of wearying of you.
1t may be in your mind that thirty

is not. If it were, you would be ap-
prised of that fact from without; you
would not achieve the information
from within.
We are aware of the fate that awaits
those who deny your statements. But
this knowledge does not deter us from
contradicting your declaration thai
you are out of politics. In this in

TINE hardest of all military posts
to fill in a time of emergency is
that of an officer in the Engin-
GERS. It takes a long time to train a
soldier, and longer still to train an Of
fcer of the line. But as for making
man into an engineer-it simply
can not be done in less than years, un-
less you take an engineer to start with.
1t is this fact that makes the big
preparedness movement among Ameri-
can engineers of first importance. The
trained technical men of the United
states are one of our biggest military
resources, once they are put in a posi-
ton where they can be called on when
needed. The engineers have set out
of their own accord to learn something
of the military side of their business,
so that they will be ready in case of
war to dc the work that has to be
done.
The European war has shown the
importance of the engineering arm
more clearly than ever. The Ger
mans have always laid stress on this
branch, and went into the conflict well
supplied with engineering companies;
yet since the war began the propor-
ton of engineers to total troops has
almost been doubled. 1t is easy to
see where field engineers are essential
In war of trenches, of bridges quick
continually being moved and dis
mounted, of mines and counter mines
of wire entanglements and bomb-proof
ug-outS-a war, in word, such as
all modern war bids fair to become.
In any sort of a war worth men,
tioning, the United States would have
to call for half million troops, wheth-
er these troops were actually called
upon for active service or not. At
present, 1t is estimated that the
strength of the engineering troops
should be about six per cent of the to-
tai strength. Thus the army of half
a million would call for thirty thou
sand engineers, and these thirty thou
sand engineers would need twelve hun
dred officers. At present, the army
possesses about 240 engineer officers,
and only few more than half of these
men are engaged in actual military
work. The rest are employed on gov
ernment projects such as the Panama
canal, which call for a high degree of
engineering skill, but are really civ
ilian engineering work, except for the
small portion dealing with the con-
struction of works of defense.
The engineers preparedness move
ment had its beginning in New York
The engineers work as a rule is such
that he lives, or at least makes his
headquarters in big city. Hence the
idea as 1t spread, went from one met
ropolis to another, until the list now
includes such places as Chicago, Pitts
burgh, Philadelphia, Detroit and Buff
falo. The latest recruit is San Fran
cisco.
About one-fifth OF all the engineers
n the United States either live or have
their headquarters in New York.
The headquarters OF the national en-
gineering associations-the civil me-
chanical. mining and electrical engin-
GERS societies-are also located here.

HUGHES AND FAIRBANKS

a FTER week of leaden skies and
1 = the mutterings of impending
storm the mists rolled away at
Chicago on Saturday and new day
dawned for the Republican party and
the nation as whole. The nomination
of Justice Hughes. the "conditionar'
declination of Theodore Roosevelt and
the ringing response of the new stand
ard bearer constitute a chapter in
American history than which there are
few brighter.
AS the political atmosphere clears it
becomes more and more evident that
great wisdom was exercised in tbe
making of the ticket. While the rad
ical element of the Progressive party
insisted upon the nomination of
Colonel Roosevelt and no other. the
consensus of party opinion was in
favor of selection which would not
further estrange the Progressive voters.
but would still represent the more
conservative attitude of Republicans
generally throughout the country
From the very start of the convention
extreme care was exercised at every
stage of the proceedings. Leaders of
both wings of the party realized the
Importance of a real getting together
for the defeat of the incompetent ad-
ministration at Washington. There
was no bitterness at any time. Stall
warts were ready to concede even the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt in the
interest Of party harmony. Progress
sive leaders were likewise willing n
take up candidate other than the
militant and dominant spirit of their
party. With peace and unity in view
both factions labored throughout n
strenuous and trying week.
'iSN ~ peSdiie evident That the
pressure from within and without was
toward Justice Hughes, the leaders no
longer could resist the manifest senti-
ment of the party, and as the final
conclusion of the whole matter gave
the predestined nominee a unanimous
vote.
OF course, the Proeressives resent
full over the failure of the Republicans
to nominate Colonel Roosevelt. de-
clared they would oppose any other
candidate, and in spite of the hint
from Sycamore FIiil placed the stand
ard of their party in his hands. There
appears to be little doubt that Colonel
Roosevelt will make definite his CON
ditional" refusal tc lead the third
party movement any farther. He un-
derstands quite well that further
division of the party would mean the
perpetuation of the Wilson experi-
I1c Will IdIuty TlSk reSDOnSi-
bility so serious.
Indeed. it would be difficult to find
any reason why Colonel Roosevelt
should do other than heartily support
Mr.. Hughes. His one reason during
the convention for Withholding ap-
proval of the nomination was that he
did not know where the Justice stood
on the great questions of national pre-
paredness and Americanism. Mr..
Hughes has left nobody in doubt on
that score-or on any other of the big
issues. for that matter. His statement
accepting the nomination is so vigor-
Gus and clear-cut on the national prob
lens so near to the Coloners heart at

Things seemed pretty soft
For returning Wilson,
Hopes all went aloft.
Then along came Teddy.

Soon gave way to SORROW
Now they're feeling blue

Prior to this installation the old COM
pressor and hoist were operated by

able power had been inadequate to

practical to go further with the old
plant. The new plant it is understood,
is of sufficient capacity to meet all re-
quirements until the mine is in con-
dition to produce. The WORK now is
designed to prospect the vein, and it
is understood that the shaft will be
extended at least 400 feet further, Civ
ing a total depth of 500 feet, from
which crosscuts will be run and the
vein explored both east and west, Just

Dornite, and between these stringers
the quartzite is impregnated with
more or less ore. These stringers are
appearing with increased frequency.
and while Mr.. Lucia does not regard
the present ore of commercial value,
he expresses the greatest confidence
that commercial ore Is not far ahead
and at the present rate of improve
ment he will soon have it. Five men
are employed by the company, in
cluding the manager. The rock Is
very hard and about two and a half
feet is about the average rate of ad-
vancement per day.

Mild Weather May Enable Company
to Start Mill,

Oscar Nordquist, manager Of the

of the week. Owing to the blockade
on the Northern Pacific, he went to
Plummer on the O.-W r. & ~, and
there took the Milwaukee for Superior,
just across the river from Iron Noun
tain. 1t Is expected that the present
mild weather will soon start the water
in the flume and it is the purpose of
Mr.. Nordquist to begin operations at
the earliest possible date. The flume
supplies water for both the mill and
the compressor. The new mill made a
satisfactory run of several weeks last
fall, running on low grade ore on the
dump which netted $45 per ton. The
severely cold weather forced shut
down of both mine and mill, but an
early resumption is now expected.

THE OLD VETERAN.
Rock Has Become Softer and Good
Progress Is Now Being Made.

A. L. Williams, who has the con-
tract to drive the Old Veteran cross
cut, was in the city the first of the
week. He states that he has now
passed through the dixie of hard rock
which during the last few weeks has
made progress rather slow. The
ground is now breaking good and the
vein is expected to be cut any day.
Much black manganese is now appear
ing in the face and small seams of
tale, all of which are taken to indicate
the near approach of the vein. The
prediction is freely made by those
most familiar with the Old Veteran
that this crosscut will expose a body
of commercial lead ore. Ed Ehren-
berg, heavy stockholder in the Old
Veteran, was recently elected a di-
rector to fill a vacancy.
