Ground was broken on Friday, at St
Louis, for the Exposon to be held in that
city in 1908. commemorative of the
Louisiana Purchase.
Thee historic shovels were used in the
ground breaking. The first was one o.
iron and oak, loaned by the Massachu
sets State Arsenal, Boston, where it had
been placed in 1905 as relic of early
American workmanship. An exact re-
production of that shovel by manufac
turer of the Louisiana Purchase, made o.
ebony and steel, silver plated, was mex
put into use An old wooden shovel
thought to have been one of the tool:
employed by the 200 white miners from
France, and the GOO African slaves from
San Domingo, brought over by Francis
Reinault, i'll 1918, to work i'll the St
Genevieve mo. mines, was the thirt
used.
The Louisiana Purchase was made II
1903 by President Jefferson from Napol
con Bonaparte. The territory embraced
a scope of country reaching from the
Mississippi river to the Rocky mountains
containing upwards of million square
nj les, or over six hundred million acres
and was purchased for SIS, 900, ooo-twe
and a-half cents an acre.

Putting Out Fire In ships.

A new method of extinguishing fires
on board ship has recently been tested
at Bremen. 1t consists in fitting pipes
in every compartment of the vessel,
communicating with the deck, and act
ing as safety-yalves through which
smoke may ascend in case of fire, thus
giving warning of danger, and making
it possible to watch the progress of a
fire in the hold without removing the
matches. The chief feature of the sys-
TEN Is the use of carbopc-acid gas, to
be pumped through the pipes into the
hold until the fire is extinguished.
Provision is made for introducing the
gas under pressure among the cargo,
so that il will penetrate tightly slowed
cotton bales.-Youth's Companion.

Secretary Long on Saturday disposed
of the Schley case by approving oftle
findings of fact and the opinion of the
full Court of Inquiry. He approved the
majority opinion where there is differ
ence in the court; he held that the court
could not have entered into considera-
ton of the question of command at the
battle of Santiago, and he accepted the
recommendation that no further proceed
ings shall be had. The Secretary also
declined the application of Admiral
Simpsons counselt TO enter upon an in
quiry into the question of command, and
notified Admiral Schley's counsel Of that
fact as reason for declining to hear them
on that point. An order was issued dis
solving the Court of Inquiry.
The Secretary of the Navy also, by
the direction Of the President, requested
the resignation of Edgar S. Maclay,
author of the naval history in which
Admiral Schley was attacked.
The Secretary of War has severely
censured Lieutenant General Miles for
his recent interview in Cincinnati in
which he commented upon the findings
of the Schley Court of Inquiry. Among
other things the Secretary says: "You
have no business in the controversy and
no right, holding the Office which you
did, to express any opinion"

Secretary of War Root has made him.
self ridiculous by administering rebuke
to General Miles, for his public express
sion concerning the Schley case, and
Admiral Dewey has also been rebuked by
Secretary Long for his minority report.
It is evident the Administration is be.
coming alarmed at the indignation of the
public over the Schley controversy and
is resorting to desperate means to prevent
all those under its authority at least from
an expression of their views.
The public is becoming indignant at the
determined efforts to strip Admiral

demand that Secretary Long shall be

The military and civil branches of the
government in the Philippines are al
loggerheads, with President Roosevelt
declining to interfere. The circumstance
shows that the dividing line between the
military and civil jurisdiction is not
clearly drawn, aud just who is to desig
nate it is not apparent. One of the pleas
against extending the Constitution to the
Philippines is that the people of the Is
lands are unfit for self government; and
still we are furnishing them fairly strong
evidence that we do not know so very
much about government ourselves.

The Caucasian commenting on the
recent action of Senator Jones, of Nevada,
in returning to the Republican fold from
the silver camp. denies that it indicates
that he has changed his views on the
money question and states the Senator
has always stood, and stands now, for the
quantitive theory, that is, that the pros
perity of the country depends upon the
quantity of the circulating medium in
creasing with the increase of population
and business. Temporarily the money
question will be settled so long as the
output of gold furnishes the demand for
new money to keep up the supply and
therefore keep the prices from falling.
Whenever conditions shall change and
money shall grow scarce and prices shall
consequently begin to fall Senator Jones
will be found in the front rank fighting
for an increased supply OF money, and
inasmuch as at that time there will be a
scarcity of gold under the gold standard
he will be advocating either the free
coinage of silver or legal tender green.
backs to make up the deficiency. The
fact is Senator Jones has always stood for
the issue of legal tender by the Govern
ment, increasing its quantity according to
the demand so as to maintain the stability
of prices and has always maintained that
any other system of finance is absurd,
foolish and criminal.

A reader complains that national bank

A reader complains that national banks
enjoy too great privilege in being per.
united to loan out five or ten times their
capital stock. He shows the disadvan.
tages of the ordinary individual as com.
pared with the bank. While, as ne points
out, the bank has great advantage in
the earning of an income and in the
accumulation of wealth, there is another
objection, and an even more serious one,
to the manner in which banking is done
at present. When bank with a capital
of one million is allowed to receive and
loan out deposits amounting to ten mil
lions, the depositor does not have a suf.
ficient margin for security. A little
shrinkage in values wipes out the capital
stock and leaves the depositor no secu-
rity save the notes taken by the bank. In
good times such bank makes eHor-
nous profits and in bad times its failure
brings disaster to depositorS and is likely
to cause run OIL banks more wisely con-
Quoted. There ought to be fixed Fela-
ton established by law between capital
and deposits, SO that there would always

and Auditor Hawkins will now begin a
review of the three thousand pages of
evidence submitted at the hearing sew

A hundred additional wheels buzzed
merrily in the Americus shops of the

of the strike settlement and the return
to work of the many employees who
went out two months ago when the
national strike was ordered. And once
more the big shops was a veritable
beehive of industry.

the settlement of the great strike, and
when the big whistle at the shops
sounded at 2 o'clock many of the men
were there ready to return to work, and
did So
And there will be plenty of work for
all employees in the shops for some
time to come.
The machinists who went out here
two months ago seemed satisfied with
the terms of settlement, and many, if
not all, will go back to the shops.
M The machinists are to receive thirty
cents per hour or So per day of ten
hours, while the apprentice boys will
be taken back on the old basis, it is
understood. The shops now has full
force and everything is moving on
smoothly.
Much repair work had accumulated
during the strike, and it will require
some time to dispose of all of this.
