The Troubles of. the Syrian Colony Were
Not Aired.
Contrary to expectations the troubles
which have so long agitated the Syrian
colony in the eastern part of town,
were not given an airing in the police
court yesterday and a big crowd CT
court room habtues, who assembled
expecting to hear some sensational tes-
timony, went away disappointed. On
behalf of his client, Seven Shaban, At
torney Hinkle interpOsed a demurrer
to the complaint, on the grounds that
the allegations made therein did not
constitute cause of action and that
the court did not have jurisdiction, as
the offense charged, if it had been COM
mitted, should be proceeded against I'M
der the state laws and not the city
ordinances. After protracted arguments.
Judge Terrell overruled the demurrer
and continuance being asked for, the
case went over to next Friday.

THE world spends too much fuel
for a given amount Of heat, light or
power, with the result Of too rapidly
using up the fuel supply which is
limited. True, there 10 . happy op-
timism which declares that the race
will be able to meet emergencies "a
they may arise, but this does not
lessen the desirability of making the
most of what nature has provided for
our use. Forests, coal fields and oil
reservoirs are being visibly reduced
suggesting the time when they will
disappear The question Of fuel IL
one Of growing importance and the
time will come when it will be . pro-
blem fraught with the tragedy of the
human race. The question o. the
conservation Of forces-and fuel il
back of force-is . growing and will
become an nvershadowing problem
dwarfing all others. Thought, re-
search, experiment, directed toward
securing the highest percentage Of
utility out of fuel will be well ex
pended.

Never before in the history of rail-
roading has general traffic been of
such volume as at present. A high
authority on railroad matters states
that the handling of freight alone 10
bringing more money to the railroads
than did the entire business in the
"hard time" years and the passenger
business is better with many roads
than was that of the autumn months
Of the Worlds Fair Year.
One needs but to visit the freight
department of the various railroads
in Des Moines to discover that all
available rolling stock is being utili-
zed and the crying need of every
railroad is for more freight cars.
Shippers are obliged to keep in line
and patronize the railroads as men
used to 60 to mill. awaiting the con-
venience of the railroad company.
This ultra-prosperous condition Of
the railroads is an infallible indica-
ton of general prosperity. May it
long continue.-Des Moines Iowa)

THE Ozark uplift, in addition to
presenting many interesting problems
to the geologist, 10 NO less interesting
to the mineralogist, producing every
useful mineral except platinum, and
a report is now alioat that valuable
deposit of the latter laincral has been
discovered. Platinum is worth $185
an ounce and this deposit is said to
assay six ounces to the ton. The
minerals and other resources of the
Ozarks are rapidly making Of that
region one OF the most wealthy sec
tions of the country. "Other re-
sources" includes timber, stone. and
wonderful opportunities under most
favorable conditions for fruit-grow-
ing, poultry and stock-raising.

ONE of the most threatening signs
of the times is the gambling mania.
It is invading all classes and is espe-
cially entangling in its alluring net
our boys and young men. Its growth
has been rapid, fostered by number
less devices appealing to that weak
ness in humanity which is always at
tracted by seeming opportunity to
get something for nothing. No such
scheme is too "raw" to allure "suck-
ers," one of whom it is said is born
every minute. The fact that no man,
or set of men are trying to do busi-
ness for the sake alone of benefitting
their patrons, cuts no figure with one
who has had the gambling instinct
awakened within him. 1t is a mania
a madness, and is not amenable to
reason or common sense. Its indul'
gence begets dislike of honest em.
plovment, idleness, disregard of the
rights of others, vice, and finally
crime. This is q frightful downward
stairway, but the steps are easily
traced by any person who will de-
vote little thought and observation
to the subject. AS of liberty, so OF
safety, eternal vigilance is the prince
and the object is worth tho outlay
Watch the literature, the habits, the
associations of your boys, and spare
no vigilance and no care in inculcat
ing principles of sturdy, old fashione
honesty and independence, such al
will make them scorn to ask or re-
ceive anything for which they have
not rendered value for value. Th'
writer il no pessimist, but he ha'
he re uttered q few warning word
for which he thinks he sees urgen
need.

conditions which make for good
prices. The farmer, manufacturer

of the happy business situation
