 of Spider
 Is Planned

From present indications 1t ap- pears that the cloud which has been hanging oyei the Spider mine since the Algunican Development Company suspended operations last winter will soon be brushed away, work resumed on the property and the original owners, Hamilton and Larson, fully protected.
 This is the statement given out by F.C. Drumm, an attorney of Orange. Cal, and Nick V. D. Brock, mining man of the same town who is heavily interested in the company. MT. DPumm and MT. Brock left for the south Sunday afteE spending several days ln the camp and interviewing all those having monetary interest in the settlement of the oompany's ac- counts here. They made propo- Sition to the creditors which the latter accepted, and foreclosures have been suspended until after such time as confirmation or re- jeotiOn is received from the other California members of the compa- ny, which 1t is expected will be about the 18th of June.
 Suspension of work on the Spi- der was brought about by the ab- normal rate of exchange against Belgian money due to the war, and consequent indisposition on the part of the Belgian capitalists to make further top-heavy invest ments. It appeals now that the American interests are out to save 70 the company what is undoubt- edly one of the best properties of the Salmon basin. Jean Vanophen, president of the company, has gone to Belgium to personally explain 1he aituation to his associates there.

Owing to a mistake on the part of the Alaska Film Exchange director there was somewhat of mix-up in the moving pictures Sunday night, reel coming where reel should have shown. This had the audience guessing. but it was no fault of the machine operator, who could not know that mistake was being made until the reel was run off.

PROSPERITY, HAND MAIDEN OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

Business conditions are due to
mans attitude toward life. Business
conditions can be changed for the bet
ter, only as mans attitude toward life
changes.
This was the new and rather start
ling diagnosis of the country's ills an
nouhced. by Roger w. Babson, noted
authority on finance in an address be.
fore members of the Association OF
Commerce of Chicago.
"The need of the hour" he asserted,
"is to get employers and wage earn.
ers to give their hearts to God. Bust
ness depression can be avoided, but
only by directing the minds of your
people to the need of integrity, homes
ty and thrift"
Members of the association stiffen-
ed in their chairs at this new doctrine
and listened intently as Mr.. Babson
assured them the present business
slump was not due to lack of "sales-
men or foremen or more technical
men, but to lack of religion"
Business runs in circles" he con-
tinued. First a period of prosperity,
and then a period of depression. The
statistics of these business changes
show that periods of depression invari-
ably follw unrighteousness, extra
vagence, dishonesty and inefficiency
which develop in the latter part
period Of depression.
"The meaning of this is plain. II
is not railroads, steamships, factories,
etc. which cause our prosperity; it is
not bank clearings, foreign trade or
commodity prices which give us good
business.
Prosperity is based upon these
fundamental qualities of faith, tenn
perance, service and thrift, which are
the products of religion. The funda-
mentals of prosperity are the Ten
Commandments"

THE WAGES DOWN

Getting the wages down is about the
most delicate of all the propositions
n the realm Of readjustment. The
farmers products came down with the
farmer left in the position Of being
compelled 10 grin and bear il
Bringing down the wages. however. IL
something ike pulling teeth With
the club of the strike in their hands.
labor Is a little more touchy abou,
relinquishing its hold on the high
wages they have been enjoying for
some time past
There are several means being used
70 bring down wages. The most com.
mon method now being used BIZ the
big industries is shutting up shop
and letting out the workmen- Il Is
quite evident that when the indus
tres start up again, il will be on
the basis OF lower wage scale, the
starting up process being at a time
when there are a sufficient number Of
workmen who are willing to 20 back
70 work At 4 lower wage TO man the
industry.
This, We dare say. is the secret for
the shutting down of most of the big
industries.
Other methods of reducing wages
do not seem TO be meeting with any
great success On q few occasions,
labor is voluntarily accepting a de-
crease in wages, but such cases are
few and far between.
Down in North Carolina the en-
ployees Of an iron company returned
20 work at a compromise wage sche-
dule after being convinced that a re-
duction in the wage scale was neces-
sary. What convinced the workmen
that lower wage scale was neces-
sary was the trial of plan by which
all employees shared in the net profits
not allowing for return on the capital
invested which failed when the first
two weeks OF operation failed to show
any profit for reduction of office sal
aries, production costs and overhead
The men had been out a week.
As rule the management Of busi-
ness these days have been cutting
down expenses wherever possible be-
fore looking toward the wage end
When, after this has been done and the
credit side continues to fall behind the
debit side, one of two choices must
be made-either wages must come
down or business must quit.
The laws of economics are just as
inexorable as any other laws.

Blame is attached to the mon

for the sad plight of the Democratic
party. City hall, il is CHARGE cOrrup-
ted and bulldozed Democratic party
leaders and workers. IL Is also charged
that thru the direct primary law the
party in the state was appropriated
by an alien organization, which took
the heart out of the party.
- NHoie iOl OF truth IN these aCCuSa-
tions. The city charter makes every
provision against partisan adminis-
tration. Political parties are forbidden
TO have anything to do with nominate
ions for city and county offices;a
candidate for office cannot be champ
ioned by political party. In theory,
beautiful In practice, ask Mr.. Hill
of the Democratic organization.
The direct primary law was Intended
to protect party from bossism and
other evils. The Democratic party Of
Colorado was violated by the Townley
organization and the primary law in
practice offered no protection and
could afford no relief to the injured
party.
Direct legislation is not intended to
maintain party organization but to
weaken it. In theory this may be all
right. IL the people We're ninety nine
per cent perfact they would be able
to handle their affairs without all
the intricacies of present government.
But not having reached that state Of
perfection, direct Legislation fails to
function as the idealists expected that
it would do and the people are still
at the mercy of those who make pol
itics profession.

A LEADERLESS ORGANIZATION

Rocb Mountain News
t. charges made by the state chair
man of the Democratic organization
that the party in Denver and Colorado
is in disruption and degradation are
known to be true. Only very narrow
partisan would rejoice over the low
estate into which the party has fallen.
Party government is recognized and so
long as it is recognized it is essential
for the public good that there should
be two parties nearly even in strength.
There must be a party of opposition,
virile, aggressive and anxious to prove
its mettle. That party must have a
policy.
If the Democratic party remains in
