THE PHANTON OF SUCCESS.
It is undeniable that the tendency
of this age is to look with a certain
efcgree of contempt on the man who
his not scored a reasonable success
ia a material way. The reason is
tfeat nearly everyone is striving for
anney, enough of it to keep the
srolf from the door at least. But
now and then one finds a man who
takes no thought of the yellow me
tal who looks with contempt on
those who strive for it. Such a
Character was John Ruskin, and such
iras Abraham Lincoln.
But the latest story of that sort
c4m.es in a sketch of the life of J.
Pierpont Morgan, the master finan
cier of the age. He was educated
at a German university and distin
guished himself in mathematics. His
-professors urged him to stay at Got
tengen and carry his studies further,
bat Morgan had the insticts of a fin
ancier and longed for a more active
Jefe than comes from problems in
analytics and calculu.
There is a story that years after
ward, when Morgan had made his
millions,1 he visited his old professor
of mathematics, -who welcomed him.
iSdly because such a fine mathema
tical mind had gone to waste. He
said to Morgan: "You should have
taken my advice and stayed. Had
ym done so I would have made you
my assistant, and when I died you
without doubt would have succeeded
to the chair of mathematics.''
Although personally worth up in
tKe hundreds of millions of dollars,
and said to control fully ten billions,
J. Pierpont Morgan had not made
such success of life as the old Ger
man professor of mathematics at
Gottengen university thought he
sftould have made by centering his
efforts for the chair of mathematics.
TJhe professor regarded that posit
ion as greater than to be king of
finance in New York. Probably he
Was right.
WOMEN IN WORLD POLITICS
'A president will be elected Janu
ary 17 by the French National As
sembly, which shows that the peo
ple of France are no more afraid of
Friday than the American president
elect is of the number thirteen. But
tile French are cautious in some
other respects... .They are looking
kito the nationality of the wives of
the candidates and .insist that this
is an important issue. One of the
leading candidates is married to an
Italian and another to an American.
Any foreign strain of blood in their
executive offices makes the French
thoughtful. The question of Ameri
can wives has recently induced Ger
many to notify its young men in
diplomatic service that they need
not look for promotion if they mar
ry Americans. The rule is not whol
ly uncomplimentary. A capacity for
mixing effectively in politics is im
plied. Insight into the affairs of
government has never been confin
ed to one sex. A solution of a state
problem is none the less valuable
if first perceived by a woman. If
princes and lords admire the Am
erican girl they fear her influence at
the council table.
France has had much experience
win oe sioppea ai espusura. u rewuas
() slnloes that the same Is adrerUsioc
with foreign blood in high places. It
glories in Napoleon who was of Ital
ian descent, and is proud of- his first
wife who was an American" by birth,
though of French , ancestry. But- it
hated. Marie. Antoinette, the, Austri
an, "Madame Deficit," and sent her
to the guillotine. Eugenie, a mix
ture of Spanish, and Irish, flattered
their love of fashion, but though still
living she is almost forgotten by
her former subjects. Since France
entered upon its' present, long Re
publican regime . there has been no
president's -wife of conspicuous polit
ical note. But the French see that
woman's place fn statesmanship and
suffrage is broadening.- The women
of France while not yet voters are
an acknowledged power in the land.
There is more sensitiveness than
heretofore as' to the wives of presi
dential candidates in that country,
and perhaps especially as to Ameri
cans. It is not that American wo
men are considered dull or slow to
get at the true' inwardness of any
station in life. On the contrary, the
idea is that, their perception is in
conveniently keen and their apti
tude too varied.
THE SHADOW DRAMA.
Edison is too seasoned in practical
invention to encourage false, expec
tations. The public believes that if
he has not yet ' perfected moving
pictures associated with correspond
ing speech, music and other sounds
he has mastered the main problem.
and that only some of the details
are yet to be put in practical shape.
The records of the .phonograph and
the photographic reel have been ac
complished facts- for years. It has
remained to bring them together
subject to some sort of clockwork
that would preserve the unity of
speech and .motion. The popularity
of moving pictures has rested large
ly with the public's quick under
standing of pa'ntomine. This insight
on the part of mixed auliences has
been striking, .and,, accounts, for the
rapid rise of .film shows. A "good
reel keeps the minds, of spectators
so busy tfeat the interest is sus
tained, in spite of the 'fact that each
1 .,
person who watches the shadows
must fill in the.6tory. by, suggestion.
It is by a -kindred play of' a read
er's fancy that- the mind creates pic
tures' from the printed page's-of--.ficr!
tion.
An English poet has it that the
shadow proves the, substance. The
visualized drama, opera,, concert, dia-'
logue and oratory promised by Edi
son opens such possibilities that in
ranges from the verities of history
to the full play of the imagination.
That it will please 'as a standard en
tertainment is assured by the lasting
attractiveness of the pantomimic
moving pictures. This generation
will not have the pleasure of seeing
the movements and hearing the voic
es of the gifted men and women of
the past, but there will be some,
foretaste of the great treat to be
provided, for posterity. It was in
January, 1877, that Edison made kis
demonstration with a loud-speaking
telephone. In the following Decem
ber he produced working records of
the phonograph. That was a wonder
year, and the tale is not half toU
yet for telephones, the motion film
and the graphophone record. Their
combination is likely to bring new
marvels. And Edison is still several
years short of 70.
THE -SCHOOL. ON THE FARM,
1. Missouri, is. taking the lead in the
new thought in agricultural educa
tion that of carrying the school to
the farmer. -The Agricultural Col
lege of the University of Missouri
has been active in this extension
work for several years, holding in
stitutes, sending'- out lecturer's, en
couraging local fairs, corn shows,
fruit exhibits, poultry- shows, etc,
and participating with the railroads
in operating agricultural cars. Those
responsible for this progressive pol
icy realize thai it is not the higher
agricultural education of a few at
the college itself which is going to
make so much for better farming
as the lower education of the entire
mass of- farmers.
The latest development of this
policy of taking the school to the
farmer, in addition to asking the
farmer's son to come to coirege, is
the demonstration . of . (arm advisers
and demonstrators in each county.
This 'year two such advisers were
maintained', but it is the aim and the
hope to have at least one in each
county, there being available the
coming year some aid from the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul
ture for this purpose.
What the average farmer needs
is not so much lessons in chemistry,
agronomy, etc, as to know what to
do with a particular field to make
it more fertile; whether a certain
crop should be grown on one field
or another; where best to locate
certain buildings, and so on. down
the long list of practical details of
farm management. Every locality
has its own special conditions and
every farm has its individual prob
lems. The farmer faces these con
ditions and problems, and wants
concrete advice about them, not gen
eral theories.
This is what the local farm ad
viser is tor. He helps the larmers
of his locality settle their concrete
problems of . farm management, and
in doing it gives them valuable
knowledge in an impressive way, be
cause ' practical application of the
knowledge imparted is made as a
demonstration.
THE
COST OF WOMEN'S
CLOTHES.
The ruling of a New Jersey judge,
to the effect that $43.00 will provide
an adequate outfit of clothes for a
w.oman, has created a chorus of dis
sent among organs of feminine
opinion. Many women, " including
some of very moderate means,
would say the figure should be mul
tiplied by two or three.
While men's clothing has not
largely increased in price for the
past 10 years, most women wouta
say that their outfits are costing a
good deal more than they did then.
Perhaps the reason for this change
might thus be epitomized: Men de
mand merely scientific accuracy in
the providing of their clothes. Wo
men seek a combination of scientific
accuracy and attractive individuality,
and to get it they have to pay a
price. -
It is not enough that their togs
shall pass muster in a crowd with
out attracting special attention,
which is all that men ask.
In addition to this winsome in
dividuality, women's dresses are
now made so close fitting, that just
the same scientific accuracy is re
quired as when men's stereotyped
clothes are fitted. This makes the
problem, doubly complex ,and calls
for two very different kinds of abil
ity. The dressmaker who can fit
clothes can't always make them in
teresting. The dressmaker who can
make them interesting, can't always
fit them.
Men's clothes drift into large es
tablishments, where the work of pro
duction according to nearly cast iron
styles is standardized. Conditions
of production being very regular,
uniform and orderly, the work can
be done at a minimum of cost.
Women on the other hand will
1 pay a high - premium to the dress
maker who can both fit them and
make an individual attractive dress.
A host of women go into the busi
ness with a few individual custo
mers . to whom their ideas appeal
Production in these little shops can
not be carried on as economically as
in the larger establishments that
make men's clothes.'
Women will pay a high price for
their garments, until the 'time comes
when they are willing to take cloth
es' that are run" through the ma
chine mould like men's.
REDUCTION PLANT
FOR SLATE CREEK
(From Sunday's -Daily.)
After several years of practical
development on his group of six
claims on Slate Creek, Col. R. A.
Sweet while in the city yesterday en
route to Los Angeles, stated that
a reduction plan was to be installed
immediately, and- would be shipped
during the coming Week It will
be- of the amalgamating, concen
trating and plating type, with a
daily capacity for the present of
twenty ton's, but provision is to be
made for increasing- the tonnage to
be handled as production follows.
Col. Sweet during his present trip
has made a thorough examination
of all underground development and
stated that measurements made of
ore that is blocked out, together
with the accumulation on the dumps
insures a supply for months ahead
for the new mill. The plant de
cided upon will require three ears
to handle, and it is the intention
to have it running within the next
forty days, weather conditions per
mitting. The association of which
Col. Sweet is a member, is a close
one, with no stock on the market.
The holdings have been under de
velopment for several years, and a
favorable condition in operating the
group is afforded through the tun
nel .method," which gives a depth of
foot for foot as the work goes
ahead. . Large dykes are in exis
tence, which show gold values of
$5.00 per ton in a 40-foot ledge,
while assays from other points
range from $20 to $200 per ton in
the same metal. Copper and silver
are also carried, and it is the be
lief of Col. Sweet that ultimately, a
copper proposition will be created.
This undertaking adjoins the Dav
is and Dunkirk properties.
SLICE CABBAGE TO
BE ABLE TO MAIL IT
SELIGMAN, Jan. 11. George
Ainsworth the cabbage king from
Juniper, arrived in town yesterday
with a large consignment of i"ruit
and vegetables, all for the Michael
McBride Mercantile Co. There were
2000 lbs of choice winter apples, the
varieties being 1000 pounds of Ben
Davis, 500 pounds of White Winter
Pyramids and 500 pounds of Rhode
Island Reds. The judge also brought
with him, on this trip, one of his
prize cabbage heads. This cabbage
he mailed, by Parcels Post, to rela
tives in Los Angeles, Cala., but
was very much disgusted - as the
maximum weight is 11 pounds, nec
essarily he was compelled to cot
his cabbage head and mail it in
three separate parcels. His large
ctop which took the prize at the
Phoenix fair, on account of their
enormous size, he will ship by
feright.
Miss Gussie Dunican who has
been ill for the past few days, and
under the care of Dr. Koenig, is
rapidly recovering.
Professor -G. Carroll of Winslow,
Arizona, the mandolin teacher, is
here and will have a school of ten
pupils.

TO RESUME ON
BLACK HILLS GROUP
(From Sunday's Daily.)
William Nelson, who has returned
from a consultation with associates
in Los Angeles on minfng matters,
stated yesterday that the group in
the Black Hills district, near Je-
rome, will be revived early in Feb
ruary. A permanent camp is to be
established, and development cen-
tered to the old workings, where
formerly over 500 feet of exploita -
tion- was given in shafts and tun
nels. Recently an examination 3vas -made
of the property, and on the attrac
tive conditions in evidence in gold,
copper and silver bearing ores ex
posed, with the high price of the
red metal, the resuming of ' work
has been definitely decided uopn..
Future operations will be conducted
by a close corporation.
