NEWSPAPERS AND THE WAR.

AS text for Il little sermon on the
effect OF the war upon newspapers. the
Raleigh News and Observer takes a re-
cent announcement that the weekly as
sessments levied upon clients Of the
Associated Press would be Immediately
increased twenty-five per cent The
reason for this increase is that the ex-
penses OF gathering organiza-
ton are vastly augmented by the war.
We believe that it is safe to predict
that the additional demands upon the
Associated Press during the conflict
Will mean the outlay of at least $780,
on0 over and above ordinary expenses.
The added million must be paid by the
newspapers that take this magnificent
service
Besides the increased cost Of the
news. general business is inevitably In
1ured by war. Business men are slow
err to enter upon new ventures than
they are when normal conditions pre-
vail. Commerce is less active. and
there is widespread feeling Of listless-

conditions as accurately as the ther-
mometer resnonds to changes in tenn
perature. With few exceptions, war
means that less comes into the exche-
"ner OF a newspaper and more goes out

other observation that will commend
itself to all publishers of experience.

There are some men in this world
who have to toll for mere apology
OF nv1ng-and then there are others.
one OF these latter is Mr.. Luce, OF thu
Cargo Muchacho. Luce's experience
reads like a romance For twenty
years he had knocked about the coast,
on the desert, in the mountains, pros.
pectlng and mining, and had finally,
by hard work and the closest economy.
managed to scrape together few
hundred dollars. H
One day on the shores of the Colo
RADIO some twenty miles north of Yu:
ma, he met an old Mexican, who told
him OF deserted mine some ten miles
pnck from the river and seven miles
north OF Hedges. Luce interest was
aroused, and he visited that mine. to
lind there an abandoned twenty-stumIp
mill which had pounded away for
many years and finally shut down.
Luce examined the property and dis.
covered that there was small noun.
tain of tailings. the accumulation OF
years, piled up behind the mill. He
tested these railings with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly
and estimated there was over 100, 900
tons of the stuff there That night he
wrote TO the president OF the com
pany in New York City Offering ten
cents per ton for the tailings on u
OASIS OF 100000 tons. The president
read the letter, looked surprised, and
called the directors together. They
read the letter. looked wise, tapped
their foreheads significantly and
laughed to each other.
This poor fellow Luce should be
called goose" said one.

other.
Not one Of them thought these tail
lngs We're worth anything, and thew
mad almost entirely forgotten that old
mine out on the Colorado desert. But
they answered the letter, telling Luce
to 60 ahead.
On receipt of the letter Luce inme
dlately erected q cyanide plant, costing
him about 500 OF his own and his
friends money. Then he hired fifteen
MeNicans and Indians and berop
work on these tailings. One day some
representatives Of the mine company
were returning from San Francisco
and passing through the desert, they
thought they would visit the mine.
How are you?" said luce. "Glac
to see you. BY the way, we might as
well fix up our little accounts now
as at any time" and SO saying he
threw the astonished Gothamites a
check for $4,000. Then he explained
that in the nine months he had been
running the cyanide plant he had
cleaned up $4,000, and that there was

Spain'a Richeu

If Spain really wants to keep up the
fight and can get funds in no other
way. she might turn to her cathedrais,
When she was at the zenith of her
power the cathedrals became the re-
ceptacles Of vast wealth, and for the
most part that wealth remains TODAY.
There are many chapels that to the
depth of two inches are worth their
weight in gold. Not only are the mo-
saics that cover the walls Of very high
value, but the shrines are loaded with
rare ornaments, and in many cases
with precious stones of great size and
worth. A chapel in the great Cathe-
dral of Sevilla has Virgin lighted by
huge emerald fixed in the roof above
the head, and the garments of the Vir-
gin and saints have jewels sewed On
them. Here, then, are untold riches
but a country would be far gone. in

for carrying on an unholy war. At
