MORE LIBERAL PROVISION FOR
MINE INSPECTOR.

Up to two years ago when the bu-
reau of mines and geology was estab-
lished, the state of Idaho had made
no regular appropriation for the ben
eht of the mining industry except
the allowance made for the Inspector
OF mines This appropriation covered
the inspectors salary of $1,000 per
year, an allowance for stenographer,
Office supplies and mileage. Although
the law requires the inspector to visit
ali mining sections of the state every
year make special Investigations of
mine accidents. prepare a comprehen-
sive report covering mine operations
each year, and report upon the posi-
bHities mineral developments in new
districts. he has never been allowed
an assistant either in the field or in
his office at Boise. As a result in the
performance of his duties the in
spector is necessarily away from his I
office most of the time and having no I
assistant to leave in charge, the Of
fee is necessarily closed so far as
public business is concerned. When

AN ESTIMATE OF BoRAH.

! donald A. Craig in New York Herlad)
Then there is William Edgar Borah
OF Idaho. He is a senator in a class by
himself. He has set himself the task
of finding the flaws in other peoples
works and, by crying them out in pub
lie, forcing their correction. He is the
senate's supreme critic He is also
probably its greatest orator today.
Just now Borah's chief business is
preventing the Wilson league of ma
tons from being accepted in any form
by this country. That has been his
business for some time and he has
been remarkably successful. He will
turn to some other task when that has
been accomplished. He never picks
out anything easy. for he loves a fight
the hotter the fight the better. In
fact, unless Borah is opposing some
body or something he is lost. He is
fearless and answering when once
he has fixed his mind on an idea. and
hard to handle in a rough and tumble
debate
Like so many other senators and
members Of the house, too, for that
matter Borah was a successful lawyer
before he entered public life. He is SIS
years old. He is a member Of the for
eign relations committee the judiciary
and several others Of lesser
Importance, but his power in the SEN
lte is not in committee rooms It is
IN the floor and he is a man who must
'e consulted when important legis.
alton is being framed.

TARIFF PROTECTION FOR AMER.
lCAN LEAD MINERS.

II is Of course gratifying to repub-
leans to finds democrats, and partic-
ularly those who have been conspic-
nous in the councils their party, pub
licly advocating the adoption of one
OF the fundamental principles Of the
republican party, one that has al
ways been and still is strenuously op-
posed by the democratic party We
are moved to make this observation
by the news from Washington that
Jerome }. Day late chairman of the
democratic state committee, had ap-
peared before the ways and means
committee of the house and urged an
increase in the duty ON lead sufficient
to protect the American lead produc-
er against foreign competition, to
which he is now subjected through
the low tariff schedule. In the hear
ing Mr.. Day was ably seconded by
Ravenal Macbeth, secretary of the
Idaho Mining association and for
many years conspicuous in the demo-
cratic party of the state as a member
of the legislature from Custer coun-
ty Why these gentlemen persist in
their amliation with the democratic
party while advocating the adoption

success of the lead mining industry
in which they are engaged, is a ques-
ton we will not attempt TO answer
However it must strike a republican |
congress as very singular at least for
democrats to ask for legislation when /
they have regularly denounced in
their platforms as a robbery
We are glad that the lead producers
OF the Occur d'Alene district are be-
ing represented in the tariff hearing
even by democrats, although we would
expect testimony submitted
by republican mine operators to carry
more weight with republican con
gressmen. Besides there are men here
aho are much better qualified to
speak for the lead producers than the
gentlemen who have appeared before

horities on the lead mining industry

THE cALI5RE OF coNeREssMEN
HAS NOT CHANGED.

e We often hear it stated that the
r statesmen Of today do not compare
with those of fifty years ago or even
with those of twenty years ago. It is
claimed that there has been a steady
deterioration in the quality of men
sent 10 both houses of congress, that
business opportunities are more at
tractive to big men than a seat in
congress- and that legislation is shap-
ed through selfish motives rather than
on a basis of broad patriotism such as
characterized the attitude of states
men of other days. OF course if this
pessimistic view is justified by the
facts, it is evident that the country is
in a precarious situation and will
eventually be wrecked through the in
difference of the people. However, we
have never accepted that view of our
national leaders. We believe that
thy are actuated by as high motives
as those who preceded them and also
average up with them in point of abn- |
ity. And this is the view taken by
Joseph G. Cannon, the venerable con-
gresham from Illinois, who speaks /
from personal recollection covering a
period of sixty years and who for for
ty-four years has been a member of
congress. He was asked the other
day by correspondent of the New
York Herald if he thought the aver
age senator and representative of to-
day measures up to the average Of the
old days in all round ability To this
question Uncle Joe" replied
"There were many great char
acters in the senate and house ]
fifty years ago but fifty years
hence the people will bark back to
now. From the standpoint of
ability, the personnel of congress
doesn't change much. In public {
life. particularly legislative life, a Y

depending upon experience and
length of service. These things ;
always have counted Men now n
looked back upon as great were a

them to make their regulations.

with the duties that abound with Il

execution of the laws as well as IA

for their connection with those II
policies and laws. k
Especially was this true of the h

cies and the making and execution
of laws are constantly referred u
to by their successors and will &c
dwell in history to a very large II
extent %.
'T do not see from existing con-
ditions but what we have in both ~
the senate and house today men nj
of as high calibre and ability as in
in the earlier days" in
Asked if he believed the greater OPP
offered in business life
ept men with political ambition from
ntering public life, Mr. Cannon re-
lied:
NO The rewards have always
been in business. but as I look ma
back over the years gone by 1t in
seems to me the rewards now are pa
no greater proportionately than sill
they were then"

IMMIGRANT BILL
PASSED HOUSE
Adopts Measure With Three
Modifying Amendments
Without Rollcall
REFUGEES
ARE BANNED

WASHINGTON. April 22.-After
rejecting an amendment seeking TO
open the doors Of the United states
to foreign political refugees, the
House yesterday passed the Immi-
grafton Restriction Bill substantially
in the same form 1t went through
last session. only to be given
pocket veto. The bill now goes to
the Senate. where Republican lead
ers said today II would be passed
without delay. The measure is
designed TO be operative over a
period Of fourteen months and would
limit the entry OF aliens TO per
cent. OF the number OF nations OF
any country In the United States at
the time OF the 1910 census.
Three amendments slightly modi-
flying its provisions were adopted by
the House, although IL was said to-
night they might be stricken out by
the Senate. one would permit ad-
mission in excess OF the 3 per cent.
limit Of all aliens clearly proving
they had been subjected to religious
persecution in their native land and
were seeking refuge here solely to
avoid such hardships.
The second would admit children
OF American citizens under eighteen
years OF age. independent OF the per-
centage Of limitation.
The third would give preference
to the families and relatives or
American citizens and former SER
vice men honorably discharged from
/ the army or navy, regardless OF
whether they had been naturalized.
The principal fight was over an
amendment offered by A. J. SABBATH,
! Illinois, ranking Democrat on the
Immigration Committee. TO open the
gates TO political refugees. That
was lost after a long debate which
was closed by Frank W. Mondell.

was vigorous in denouncing the plan
TO open the gates to political ref
ugees.

New-York tribune., 1921-05-29

Eieve this casual chronicler, especially
as Father Torrigo, in 1894, when the
tasilica was being demolished to make
way for the present Church of St.
Peter, writes that the architect of the
new church, Della Porta, opened a hole
in the pavement and sent for the Pope,
Clement VIII, to view it, The Pope,
accompanied by two cardinals, Bellar-
mine and Sfondrati visited old St.
Peters, and with lowered candle saw
below the church marble sarcopha-
gus with a cross of gold on top. This
cross evidently was that which the En-
peror Constantine placed there, but the
brass was gone
The Pope was so overawed that he
ordered the cardinals to cover up the
hole with rubbish and rubble. The
architect also saw the tomb. The spot
would have been exactly where, in the
present st. Peters. is venerated the
tomb of the Apostles. Torrigo writes
that the Pope bound the cardinals to
secrecy of what they had seen, but the
story was made public.

within the district by water 45, 900, 600

New-York tribune., 1921-05-29

archeo ologist, who has visited the ex-
cavations and watched the work during
the last two months, insists that the
discoveries Of Professor Styger, as we'll
as those of more recent date, have un-
earthed the most important Christian
monuments, because they provide abso-
Lutte proof that st. Peter stayed and
lived in Rome. This proof is offered
by the many inscriptions uncovered
Heretofore frst-hand evidence of ST
Peters stay in Rome was based on
writings and manuscripts.
In the last few days three tombs have
been found, unique in that they prob
ably are the only ones which remain
undesecrated. The Christians had filled
them in and covered them with plas-
ter. Outside they are ornamented with
arches of travertine; inside are marble
sarcophagi still containing the bones
Of the holy ones, and the ceilings arc
decorated with light stucco.
Near by has been discovered a per
fectly preserved colomrium, while to
the other side is what is supposed to
have been the baptistry of some holy
shrine. II is for this reason that Pro
fessor Msrucchi argues that the tomb
Of the apostles St. Peter and ST, Paul,
must be near by.
Tradition tells US that Peter and
Paul were martyred on the same day,
June IS, A. D. SIS or 81.
st. Peter was crucifcd in Nero's Cir
Gus on the Vatican Hill, while Paul was
beheaded on the site of the present
Church of st. Paul Then their bodies
were taken By some holy people, washed
New-York tribune., 1921-05-29

the bodies away, hiding them in a
secret burial place
Here the bodies remained for more
than century, when they were re-
moved to the original tomb During
the Nalerian persecution they were
hidden again and afterward ST. Paul's
remains were buried in the spot on
which now stands the Church of St.
Paul.
The Lber Pontificalis tells us that
the Emperor Constantine, after his
conversion ordered that the body of St
Peter should be encased in silver,
within a sarcophagus Of brass. This
was done in the presence of Pope ST.
Sylvester. The Emperor then placed a
cross of gold weighing 150 pounds, on
which was inscribed the name of his
mother and himself. The tomb was
then decorated with jewels, while the
altar and walls were hung with silver
lamps. The brass sarcophagus was
then placed in a chamber, which was
faced with gold plates,
The disappearance of all these jewels
and plates occurred during the sack
ing of Rome in SAT A. d, when the old
Church of st. Peter. erected in his
honor by Constantine, was desecrateI,
and this also happened later, in 1927.
No reputable writer of that time tells
whether the sarcophagus was desc
Grated. Only an old letter discovered
fifteen years ago, written on June II,
1927, by Theodoricus Wafer, says that
"the tomb in which the bones of the
holy Peter and Paul were laid, they, the
Imperial troops, broke and profanated.'
Modern archeologists refuse to be.
