CANDIDACY . FIRE. In the Republican free for all Presidential nomination, if signs their potency the Hoover movement such headway as to throw a scare into the other aspirants, the leaders being former Gov. Frank O. Lowden and Vice-President Daw although the Jatter is handicapped by the necessity for re maining quiescent as long as Mr. Lowden re- mains in the running. That seems to be the significance of the question that has been raised as to Secretary Hoover's eligibility for the Presi- dency. The point has been raised that prior to 1917 he resided largely if not emtirely in foreign lands, and that the fourteen years' resi dence qualification clause means continuous resi- dence. What there is to this contention must be settled by the legal fraternity and it must be a poor constitutional lawyer who cannot prepare a perfectly sound brief for either side. That the point has been raised many months ahead of the party convention which will nominate a standard bearer, and before Mr. Hoov- er has definitely announced his candidacy, is striking evidence of the progress made by his field agents since the President’s declaration to the National Committee definitely settling doubts as to his availability for the nomination. Were the movement bogged down fto such an extent as to be a negligible factor in pre-convention politics there would be no need for raising the point, since it is clearly designed to cast doubt on his eligibility to serve if elected, and by so doing dis- courage his adherents or those who, recognizing his strength, might seek to climb on the band wagon. he be able an amicable service of service coun to Philippines, past summer in handled a him an way policies. both Nicaraguan in confirming both wi of de- of such in HOOVER DRAWING race for the have not lost has gathered 80 AL Vi) SRS A JARDINE ON THE TARIFF. President Coolidge in his annual message to Congress expressed the conviction that of the troubles that beset the farmers of the nation are traceable io the present tariff schedules, and aftirmed that reduced schedules would not be effectual in giving them relief. The middle west does not agree with him, and farm organization leaders generally take issue with his position " n the President’s Cabinet, there is at least * one whose mind js mot so fully satisficd with the reasoning that leads to the attitude that high tariff blesings fall equally on the manu- facturer, laborer and agrieulturist. In his annual report to Congzres, Secretary Jardine, of the De- " partment of Agriculture, takes a middie ground, 3 'j‘rutwontu statisties are not avail- able to show* the degree to which (he umudn,ol the tariff to agriculture are offset by disadvantages due fo its effect on the commodities that farmers none |and ¢|than A | cent appointments| ‘moat recent assassination,—(. buy.

(Prince Rupert News.) Probably a great many people do not realize what going on right at their doots in the matter of mining. We have tried to record some of the progres le at Portland Canal but it is difficult to tell it all. We have mentioned the advent of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company recently as well as two big Eastern Canadian companies, one from Quebec and the other Ontario. Then on Saturday we were able to add to this the sale of properties on Salmon River to the Whitney interests, the people who |recently completed the deal for the celebrated Flin Flon mine of Northern Manitoba. With these new companies operating and the Premier people extending their operation, the whole min- ing aspect takes on a different tint. Progress of a most marked kind is bound to follow. These companies do not go into a district and put up a lot of money unless they are pretty well assured that there js at least a good prospect of getting results. They are operating rather than pros- pecting companles, Next summer it seems likely that Portland Canal fame will spread a great deal. Financial papers are already giving a great deal of space to its possibilities but that is as nothing com- pared with what is likely to happen. Some years ago Portland Canal experienced a boom but at that time hardly any work had been done there and every soon the flurry passed, leaving the place in worse condition than when it began. Bverybody went away. because there was nothing left for them to do. The mines had been discredited and investors were dis- gusted. Not one mine appeared as a result of {the number of companies into which people put their money. Today all that is changed. A few faithful people remained and dug deeper into the hills, eventually discovering the famous Premier mine which is still operating and paying good divi- dends. Others have steadily developed properties until it is now a certainty that a number of operating mines will add to the wealth of the country. Portland Canal is certainly on the verge of a great movement and the whole Prov- ince will benefit.
