pertain to someone wno Is not
irk'uuly to the publication.
iii defeuse of the editors we want
to say that no newspaper mau who
.s worch;. the name, ever allows per
sonal um.ausities or frieudly bias to
lutlueuco Ins actions In the publica
tion of nt-ws. A newspaper is a
public institution so far as the print
ing of news la concerned, aud the
editor w.io makes a club of it to
iujure another, will soon feel the
just resentment that an outraged
public will hand back to him. Edi
torially ho has a right to dlffe.
rrom everyone elso In the discus
sion of policies, but when legiti
mate new s is omitted from the paptr
either tho editor did not hear of It
or it K'>t sidetracked in going
through the mechanical process
which creates the paper.
Another "blue sky law" has been
id .iiteU, by which it is Intended to
? emulate the selling of mining stocks
and stop the floating of worthless
.iccurities. a practice which
lias - vcu black eyes to many legiti
mate mining ventures. In Montana
a new Ian requires all companies
t it have stock or securities for
Mlc. or that take subscriptions for
mock, to file with the state invest
ment commissioner an itemized
statement of its actual financial
t sndition and the amount of its pro
p ". tics and liabilities; a copy of all
contracts, bonds or other securities
welch it proposes to make with or
S"U to its contributors; sample
c> pies of all Utruturo or advertising
u tter u-- d or to be used by such
Investment company; a copy of Its
con - Itutlon and by-laws, or articles
of co-partnership or association; a
eo|>> of its charter, it incorporated.
All thee papers must be verified
under oati. by an officer of the com
pany. and in the case of a foreign
corporation it must also file a writ
ten consent to be sued, and service
of legal papers made, through the
investment commissioner. The
*ii>iier authorized to make'
v< .nation of the affairs of the
my and. if its plan Is found
i table and gives promise of fair i
r>" irn on the stocks or bonds, ho
m ? ;rnm i permit or license to sell,
? investment companies must o>
so fllo quarterly reports with the
commissioner, and it will be unlaw
ful to distribute literature or adver
ti>i >g matter In the state until the
company Is licensed to do business.
If at any time it appears to the
commissioner that the assets of a
company do not equal its liabilities,
or that tne company Is conducting
its busiutss In an unsafe manner,
.'r .1 Jeopardizing the interests of
:hc stockholders or Investors, he
shall appl) to the courts for the ap
pointment of a receiver for the con
cern. The commissioner may with
hold from anyone or from the pub
lic any Information In his posses
sion relatint; to any Investment com
pany if It !s deemed not to the best
Interest of the stockholders or the
It will not be lawful to pay any
dividends In stocks, bonds or other
securities without the approval of
the investment commissioner. F<0
nnv fab;.; statements made to the
commissioner, or for any false state
ments eatrred on the records of the
company, the offender Is liable to a
fine of $100 to $10,000, or Imprison
met. for 90 day# to 1 year, or both
riu? and imprisonment. As to now
corporations the law Is effective at
once, and will apply to existing: com
panies on and after Jan. 1, 1914. by
which date they must all submit
stitemonts to the investment com
missioner and obtain a license to do
business ?n the stato. Tho general
provisions of the law also apply to
stock brokers.
After commenting on the increas
ing depression and tho tightening of
the money markot In Europe, and ev
en In tho United States In some lo
calities, owlnj somowhat to the un
certainties of the Balkan wars aud
the probable chango In tho Ameri
can tariffs, the Dawson Nows spoaks
of the north In this mannor: v
The mon of tho North who view
the tightening situation outside Just
now will bo Inclined to remain here,
in a land where hard times do not
affect tho paystreak and the assay
values of hard rock proposition*
Hard times nover affected tho gold
of Klondike or other camps of tho
North. Exploitation may be retard
ed as to largo propositions ready for
tho market, but* actual working In
dividual propositions are out of the
range of tho world money markets.
The readlneHs of Vancouver, Se
attle and other coast peoples, as re
ported by wire, to stampede to tho
Teslln strike Indicates tho lack of
carift on the coast Just now. Wheia
prosperity or boom was most gener
1 at on tho coast, people thought noth
ing of & reported now gold strike
in the North. Only the few attach
?ti to prospecting through habit
i >(ri:ted Oward tho new camps,
j Others nov are ready to como. It
is proverbial that when hard times
prevail people with means to Invest
or sums r>r speculation, or who
want to cast about for a new field
for personal endeavor quit indus
trials, real estate and other alluring
get-rlch-qulck fames and go In for
gold mining and gold stocks. Gold
always Is marketable. Is nover a
drug and Is fixed and stable In valuo
Gold Is th > great Yukon asset. Men
cf the North will do well to forgot
the dreams of ease and soft pursuits
under the palms of tho soductlve
south, aud to remain In the land of
the ever-grren fir ? the land whore
gold and good times are synonymous
;i:.d as constant as gravity.
THE DANGER OF THE SU
PINE CITIZEN.
No man should be a drone In
the soclul beehive. No maD
should be an Indifferent specta
tor of the political and econom
ical questions which confront
him. Indifference aud apathy In
civic and political life are ns
hurtful to the state as ludiffer
once lu religion Is hurtful to the
Christian commonwealth. Our
I-ord says to the bishop of Loodl
cae, "1 would that tbou wert hot
or cold, but becuuae thou art
lukewarm nnd art neither cold
nor hot I will begin to vomit
thee out of my mouth." A sin
cere man who In attacking
Christian faith honestly believes
that be Is right is less blame
worthy than the torpid, luke
warm Christian who never takes
an interest In the religion of
Christ In like manner a citizen
who "earnestly espouses a faulty
political principle Is less dnn
gerous to the state than the su
preme citizen who never takes
an Interest In the political wel
fare of his country It la' my
profound conviction that if ever
the republic la doomed to decny.
If the future historian shall ever
re<-ord the decline and fall of the
Atiierlcun republic. Its downfall
will be due uot to a hostile Inva
sion. but to the iudlfference. leth
argy and political apostasy of
her owu sons. And If all cltl-"
tens are bound to take an inter
est In public affairs that duty es
pecially devolvea on those who
are endowed with superior intel
ligence and education and who
ought to be the leaders and ex
emplars of the people, guiding
them in the path of political rec
titude.? Cardinal Gibbons.
