The Constitution of the I'nited
-itntes guarantees to nil nM 'I equal
eeurity in life and property, and
nder our system of law if a man
nils a body of mineral or a deposit
i oil and complies with the laws of
he State in acnuirlng possession it
awfully becomes his property, re
.ardless of what may have been tho
atention of the divine law of the
'Veator.
Tims far we have no desire nor
Ight to Interfere with the constltu
lonal rights of the individual mine
r oil well owner, so long ns be pro
eeds and continues to operate by
:ls own erergy or by the use of bis
wn capital in the employment of
titer physical energy thun bis
wn. Iiut when, In addition to ab
orning all this weulth to himself,
e asks for and uses public money,
hen it becomes the legitimate funct
ions of government to assume such
iegree of supervision as shall insure
0 the greatest degree, the public
ood.
In the collection of this tax which
propose. It becomes In a way an
qsurance to the people against the
ltimate destruction of this source
f natural and national wealth,
'hlch by every reason oT moral
quity rightfully belongs to all the
oople. In time the mineral wealth
1 the country will lie entirely ex
' an ted for the minerals of the earth
innot be replenished like our for
sts and the renewal of fertility of
or fields. Hence it becomes the
uty of Congress to lioth conserve
ur mineral wealth and the Individ
ual wealth of our citizens, for when
ls value is once destroyed the
niggle for existence on the part of
.e wage-earner will bo still more
erce than It is to-day, and the con
rvation of our national reaonroes
l the interest of our whole people
a duty so plain that all caa nn
crstand It. Aside, however, from
ic natural losses to the people there

It may safoly be said that there Is
not. u town or tIMago so remote In
t!n t'nlted States as to escape the
wiles of the mining-stock promoter.
Tills is due both to the Ignorance of
the Investors and the utter laxity of
our laws. The education of the In
vestor is a matter of time and most
costly to him. Ilr.t that there ran
and should be remedial legislation
for the protection of tlie Innocent in
ventor as against misrepresentation
and dishonest management, I think
we are all agreed.
I believe that the Creator placed
the mineral wealth In the bowels of
the earth for the benefit of all tlio
people and not for the exclusive ben
efit of a few.
There are three natural sources
of productive wealth from which all
the wealth of the nation has came
and must continue to come, via:
Mineral and oil deposit.
Foresti.
Farm products.
One of these groat financial Inter
ests of the country have formed
mighty corporations for the purpose
of controlling the output of the for
ests and mines and then regulating
prices to suit their needs.
LOW Tit AITS OF THE LIOX.
Frequcnlly Lives fur Pays on Surh
1'lebian Food as Hats.
The "king of blasts," declares a
writer upon the lions of Africa, Is an
uninltlputed nuisance. Tho stock
owner loathes Mm for the havoc he
causes avoug the uerda. Yhera is no
security against him. He is always
travelling. A pair of Hons may And
a spot where garao Is easily obtain
able, and mako a considerable stay
there, but their real home is the
whole veld. If the Hon slew only
as much as ho couli eat, he would be
less hateful; but ho will often kill
four or five oxen and content himself
with devouring only tho ontrala of
one.
He la a low, cralty brute, one that
takes no risks, for, unlike the leop
ard, he will never leap a wall unless
he can see what is on the other side.
A paper fence would keep hlin away
from a herd of cattle provided they
did not break out through terror of
his growling and his smell. The
lion's roar is the subject of another
fiction; not that hs is not capable of
making the most terrible, awe-inspiring
sound emitted by any living
thing, but because when he is roar
ing he Is harmless. It is the Hon
which keeps quiet that Is to be fear
ed, for as a rule, the male and fe
male work In couples, and the one
that makes the noise la merely driv
ing the game down the wind to the
silent partner.
In a single respect only on the
score of strength does the Hon de
serve sis name of "king of beasts."
He can drag a largo bullock over
rough ground with the greatest
ease; he can carry a mule on hi
back after holstus It there by some
strange sideways Jerk of his head;
he can leap a five-foot fence with a
full-sized donkey gripped In his
mouth. Otherwise, sneaking fr -
aeven years' experience In the lion
country, I have no hesitation In de-
riomg me King of beasts as a
'".ml at. lea8t BO far as W8
nobility la concerned.

NEW TIHXGS IX NATURE.
Found by a Collector In the Desert
and Mountains of Arizona.
Lob Angcsles, Cal. Remarkable
discoveries of new species of Insects,
reptiles and bivalves have been
made by Virgil W. Owen, clerk of
the United States District Court
here, in the desert and mountains
of Cochise County, Ariz. He re
turned with a collection of 7,000
specimens. Borne of his -moths and
butterflies are valued at $50 a pair.
Many of his sicclmenB are unknown
to etomologlsts and are destined for
the Smithsonian Institution.
One of the snakes secured Is new
to scientists, only one specimen hav
ing ever before been found and that
minus head aad tall. Owen's snake
is about seven inches long, has gray
ground marked with Vandlke brown
spots and is valued at $1,000.
In mountain streams 6,000 feet
above the sea Itvel the collector
found small but perfect abalone.
Another discovery in the same pool
was a number of mature class. They
have been found as fossils In the
rocks of the Middle West.
Owen also brought aeven tortoises
one of which is a new specimen, and
three rare bora toads.

Origlnal.1
A good mnny years ago, when Indian
fighting was the chief occupation of
our then diminutive army, I was serv
ing in the th cavalry at a western
post. We had a man in the ranks who
had been brought tip by refined and
Wealthy parents, but who was a per
fect devil. Egbert Carrol wna the
name he enlisted under, and I believe
It was his real name. Tho only trou
ble with him was that be was too full
of fight. One would supposo that a
soldier can't have too much fight In
him, and so ho can't when there la an
enemy to contend with, but whn there
Isn't he is liable to turn upon his
friends. Cnrrol wns In Captain Cava
nagh'a Company, a man full of Irish
blood, and that means full of Irish
fight We called him the "black god
of war." The result was that when
Carrol committed some slight indiscre
tion bis captain, to speak figuratively,
"put the screws on." This made Car
rol rebellions, with tho result of more
discipline, till at last be mutinied and
etruck his cnptaln. lie was put In the
guardhouse to await trial, but one dark
night be escaped and disappeared.
It was not long after this that we
bad a brush with the Indiana. We
were getting the better of them when
one of their number led tbem on a
savage charge which for a time broke
through our lines. I never saw such
savage Indian fighting under so sav
age a leader. It was only a question
of time with them, however, for we
outnumbered them and were better
armed and equipped. We took a lot
of prisoners, among them their leader.
Who should ho be bat Egbert Carroll
Of course there was but one fate for
him. A court martial was convene;
he was tried and sentenced to be shot
The proceedings were forwarded to
Washington, where they were approved
by the president. The day having been
fixed, there was nothing to do bnt wait
for It to come round and carry out tbe
sentence. But there was some sympa
thy for the condemned man. First, the
commandant of the post believed there
was not only stuff in him for a soldier,
but a leader, which had been turned
away by his captain, who bad never
learned to control himself, to say noth
ing of controlling others. Then the
women of the post all took to him be
cause be was a gentleman born. The
men of his company partially excused
him because many of them had suf
fered as he had from their captain's
ungovernable temper. Lastly and moat
Important, his family Interested them
selves to aecure a pardon.
One day the colonel commanding a
post some 200 miles eastward of the
one where Carrol was held a prisoner
received an order reprieving the rene
gade. Selecting a good rider, the colo
nel gave him the president's order and
told him to ride with It posthaste. But
in the army there are many officers
who would acorn to communicate the
contents of an order to a private. The
colonel was one of these. He sent his
messenger away without any knowl
edge that a life hung on its prompt da
livery. Two daya after the messenger
departed he returned to the man who
sent him, confessing that he had stop
ped by the way to drink with some
soldiers and had lost the order. Be
had returned for a duplicate.
The colonel blanched. "You scoun
drel!" he roared. "You carried Car
rol's reprieve. No power can repair
the damage you hare done. Before an
other message can be sent he will have
been executed."
Now, It happened that I had been
sent with a party to relieve the garri
son of the station where the messenger
had stopped, and It was with some of
our men that the messenger drank and
lost his order. He did not miss It till
he had left the station and ridden some
distance. Then he returned, hunted
high and low for It and, not finding It,
returned for Its duplicate.
The day after the loss of the order I
went to Inspect a gang of men who
wero doing some work I was In charge
of. While walking along the road I
saw a dog chasing a bit of white pa
per which the breeze whirled before
him. As the paper was blown post
me I picked It up, held It over the dog
and let it go again in the wind. The
dog caught It and brought It to me for
more play. It was then that I saw the
word "Washington" printed on It I
read It and knew that it was Carrol's
reprieve.
Within ten minutes I was mounted
on the best horse at the station and
riding to save a life. So much time
had been lost In Its transmission that
I knew it was an even chance whether
I arrived In time or not I rode my
horse to a finish In a few hours, secur
ed another, exhausted hun in about the
same time and repeated the process as
often as I could find horses.
I knew the day that Carrol was to
be executed, but not the hour. It Is
singular that a soldier will drive the
men under him up to be shot down un
mercifully, but when under other cir
cumstances one life Is dependent on
bis efforts he will labor under a fright
ful burden.
At last I came In sight of the flag
waving over the tops of some trees sev
eral miles In advance of me. Then ev
ery minute I dreaded lest I hear a vol
ley. My borso was exhausted, and I
feared every moment be would drop
under me. lie did so when within a
quarter of a mile of the post. I ran
on, waving the order above my head.
A sentry saw it guessed what It was
and must have called out to those be
low, for I beard a cheer. Then I knew
I was In time.
Carrol was killed during the civil
war, having gained the reputation of
being one of the daredevils pf the Un
ion army.

"LET THE PEOPLE RULE'
APIUUL TO DEMOCRATS
for Bryan and Kern Campaign Fund, from
the Domocratlc National Committee.
To Geo. K. Khvell, lulitor of the
Columbian.
There are no secrets in this Cam
paign. Strictly practicing what he
preaches, Mr. Bryan will not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election expenses.
Not a dollar is to be accepted
which requires any promise, either
express or implied, other than for
HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOV
ERNMENT. Mr. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entang
ling alliances, free to serve all class
es of honest citizens alike, or he
will not entr at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern must
be conducted by the people.
The people must pay the necessa
ry campaign expenses if they want
public servants who will serve their
interests.
Special interests and favored class
es, having secured "SWOLLEN
FORTUNES" by purchasing fa
vors in the past with MILLIONS
CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL
ELECTIONS, stand ready to give
MILLIONS MORE EOR CON
TINUED FAVORS. But that
class never gives a dollar unless it
buys a pledge.
Mr. Bryan says, from March 4th,
1909, "LET THE PEOPLE
RULE."
This can come only if the people
pay their own bills, and control
their own elections.
"BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS
BEARING GIFTS. "
That policy of the favored few
buying a mortgage on the Govern
ment meant that the Candidate for
President knew a few people only
in an entire State.
Bryan says, "We will take the
cause of PEOPLE'S RULE home
to the people and will know people
in every county."
You can serve the grand cause of
popular government.
Your paper reaches the fireside
of the patriot who loves his country
for his country's GOOD; as distin
guished from the greedy possessor
of swollen fortunes who loves his
country only for his country's
GOODS.
Asking every one who favors
Government by the people to pay
you, at once, as many dollars as he
can spare to aid the Campaign for
BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLE'S
RULE. You forward these gifts
of honest hearts and home every
two weeks to the Treasurer of the
Democratic National Commiitee,
with the name of each contributor
and amounts given. The Treasurer
will forward you a certificate for
each one, asking you to deliver
these certificates.
Once more, you should be a part
of the Great Organization bearing
the Lamp of Light to every nook
and corner of Free America.
Our Country is for the People;
its Government must be by the
People.
Sincerely,
Norman E. Mack,
Chairman Democratic National Com.
M. C. WETfclOKE,
Chairman Finance Committee.
C. N. Haskell,
