Advance of $40 On
Average Price Makes
Prospects Very Bright

Miami Record Herald: Ore prices
for the week ending Saturday,
June %, have taken sharp ad-
vance-the mining industry OF the
greatest mining field in the world
comes back into its own, after a
discouraging lull of few weeks.
Zinc blende, which has been
selling at an average of SIS per
ton, took a clean jump upward of
ten dollars per ton, the average
basis for settlement being sos per
ton. Low grades OF blende which
only brought S4250 the week pre-
vious, advanced to SIS per ton--thc
average price for all grades the
week before. High grade zinc
brought $3.50.
Lead ore advanced from So. so to
$3.50 per ton and some premium
lead sold at 500 per ton.
Nearly eleven million pounds of
zinc orc marketed during the week
at total value of $350,0O0. One
and three-quarter million pounds
of lead was sold bringing total
of $4,000
1t is strongly predicted that the
average for lead ore next will be
500. Good authorities say that
zinc blende will reach 800 to $lOO
per ton within the next few weeks
and the figures of the week just
past give assurance that these esti
mates may be correct.

HOLINESS MEETINGS
ATTRACT CROWDS

The large crowds attending the
Holiness revival meetings have
created more trouble for !he police.
The officers tried last night for an
hour to break the blockade of au-
tomobiles in South Washington
street in the block where these
meetings are held. The police said
had a fire occurred in that vicinity
and the firemen made an attempt
to get through there with their
wagons, great damage must have
resulted, if not injury to persons or
possibly loss of life.

WHY THE HERALD FAILED.

Ben Franklin Monthly: The pur-
chase of the Chicago Herald by w. r.
Hearst and its consolidation with the
Examiner is another illustration OF
the difficulty in Chicago of assuring
success in the daily newspaper field
even though it once be achieved by a
publication The Herald's career dat
ed back to 1881. and at one time it
was highly prosperous. but on ques-
ton which greatly interested many of
its readers it took a position that ir-
ritated them, its circulation fell OF
largely and it never recovered its
prestige. Taking over in turn the
Times, the Record and the Inter
Ocean failed to build It up again,
though under Mr.. Keeley's manage
ment # had strong financial backing,
including Levy Mayer, John G. Shedd,
julius Rosenwald Samuel insult,
James A. Patten and Laverne w.
Noyes. Charles r. Crane is also re-
ported to have been interested. In
the last four years the average an
nua1 loss is placed at 100000. 1t is
a big undertaking to publish a daily
in Chicago. even though
the object be simply TO get the atten-
ton of the people regardless of cost,
while if the purpose be to make
unless the circulation is large
advertisers haven't any use for 1t, and
1t isn't easy to satisfy both readers
and advertisers in news and edit
oria1s.

SHOT THE wRoNu ONE.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: A strange
case. that Of finely educated woman,
no longer a girl, who furnishes Wauke-
sha lot Of advertising She becomes
infatuated with a worthless cur, who
lies about her and who tries to shield
himself at her cost. The girl has kill
ed the fellows wife, and no doubt he
was glad to be rid of the wife, and
now he seems to know but the one de-
sire, and that is to save his own worth
less neck, and at the expense of the
woman he has wronged.
1t has been well said that the only
mistake Grace Lusk made was in kill
ing Mrs. Roberts. She ought to have
filled Roberts full OF holes. And
then the world would have applauded
her act.
Just how a very inferior fellow, like
this Roberts. could work himself into
the good graces OF an exceptionally
bright woman and get her under his
control. that is again another story.

THE PARADE WILL LIVE.

A weekly publication which boasts Of circu-
lation comprehended in seven figures, due no
doubt to the fact that great many American
people are addicted to the perusal of superb
cia literature and enjoy being fooled in their
mentality, comes to blows with the prevalent
national idea that parades are stimulators and
encouragers of action. In its effort to take the
joy out Of life in this one particular, the period
cal says: 1T is time to discourage this over
frequent parading. AS method of focusing
public attention and rousing enthusiasm, the
parade originated, of course, in illiterate COM
munities whose minds were open to only the
most elementary appeals. By frequent repeti-
ton it grows stale, and it has been repeated too
much of late.''
Keokuk is strong for parades. So are New
York City, Chicago San Francisco and every
other city and town throughout this land. The
parade is an institution that will not be downed
so long as American spirit and patriotism must
find means of expression in the mass Any
movement to suppress the parade will find
small support and is likely to die a-borning.

Dess CONVERTED.

Davenport Democrat: That the
socialist party no longer stands on
the st. Louis resolutions has been
intimated in discussions Of the party's
stand here in Davenport, and might
well be made palmer. One of the
significant announcements develop
ing from that party's councils is that
made by Eugene v. Debs. who says
that the party no longer can stand
en- the St Louis platform"
Debs, three times the party's can
didate for president, has seldom TAX
en- a leading part in politics within
the party, but his position is fairly
indicated by his characterization by
a comrade as the party's spiritual
leader" He vigorously supported the
st. Louis resolutions when they were
up for referendum action, and even
yet defends their adoption as proper
at the time. 1t is all the more sig
nificant that he is just as outspokeR
now for their withdrawal.
Like sane men everywhere he sees
that Germany threatens socialism
just as much as 1t threatens democ-
racy and the socialist who is for Ger
many was German before he was So
cialist.

BILLION FOR RAILROAD UPKEEP.

It is announced that the railroad administra-
ton, following its policy of permitting the roads
to make fairly liberal expenditures for upkeep
and improvements, Will approve an outlay OF
nearly a billion dollars this year. With full
power, now exercised, to make the freight and
passenger rates high enough to meet any situa-
ton that may develop, the government will see
that railroad properties do not run down, and
probably it will take whatever steps will be
necessary to keep equipment at the level de-
manded by transportation requirements. The
railroads would have done these things on
their own initiative if they had been permitted
to exercise wise discretion in the matter OF
rate changes. 1t was unfortunate for them and
for the public that the government could not see
what was needed while the lines were operated
by their owners. Now the roads will spend for
additions, betterpents and equipment about
three times as much as they have expended on
these items in any one of the last three years.
Possibly the total of nearly billion will be in
creased; for while some of the estimates sub
mitted by the roads were cut down at Washing
ton, the administration has intimated that the
budget may be revised upward.

NEED NO INTERPRETATION.

A proclamation by state governor debating

public, private, UNCONVENTIONAL or other similar
schools that conversation in public places,

dresses should be in the English language, it
