GOLD OUTPUT
OF THE WORLD

The Wall Street Journal has re.
Gently been manifesting a decided
interest Ia the worlds annual pro.
duution Of gold. It has published
several discussions upon the subject,
not SO much by way Of congratula
tion to the mining Industry for its
successful advance In production, but
rather with reference to its effect
upon the markets. The paper quoted
is now beginning to wonder whether
an annual output of s4OO. 600, 600,
In the yellow metal may not shortly
be expected, In view OF the steady
increases that are being made by the
great gold bearing districts of the
world.
It would not surprise the best
posted men IL this figure should
shortly be reached and steadily main.
tained. Certainly they hope to see
1t for the benefit which the repre-.
sentatives o. their own industry may
derive from the same. From the
economic point Of view there is
nothing to he feared by growth In
the worlds gold output, for the rea.
son that whenever the supply is plen
tiful enough, there are other nations
which are ready to adopt the gold
standard. At time. too. when
American Hnanciers aud politicians
are seriously talking about an assets
currency In view OF the early retire
ment of United States government
bonds, there can be no reason for
doubling continued demand fo, the
yellow metal.
No one need fear that the eco
nomic aspects of the problem will not
be adequately adjusted to the changes
In condition as they appear. There
are other considerations entering into
the currency problem, and we are
inclined to believe the New York
publication IL unduly exercised over
the wonderful prosperity Of the gold
mining industry. Gold has come To
stay until man has reached the point
where he can get long without
money at all.
Gold miners are glad to note,
however, that they Hre cuttiug snch IL
figure In the world that the
politicians aud the apostles of high
finance cannot avoid noticing them.
This Is one OF the signs of the times.

To The GIRLS.

Here is little sermon to girls that
they can all read with profit.
"a father talking to his careless
daughter said: 'Iwant to speak to you
of your mother. 1t may be that you
have noticed a careworn look upon her
face lately. OF course it has not been
brought there by any action of yours,
still it is your duty to chase it away.
want you to get up tomorrow morning
aud get the breakfast and when your
mother comes and begins to express
her surprise go right up to her and
kiss her
Gou can't imagine how it will bright
en- her dear face. Besides you owe her
kiss or two. Away back when you
were a little girl she kissed you when
no one else were tempted by your fever
tainted breath and swollen face You
were not as attrac tive then as You are
now. And through those years Of child
ish sunshine and shadow she was al
ways ready to cure by the magic of
mothers kiss the little dirty chubby
hands whenever they were Injured in
those first skirmishes with the rough
world.
And then the midnight kiss with
which she routed so many bad dreams
as she leaned over her restless pillow
have been on interest these long, long
years. OF course she is not so pretty
and kissable as you are, but If you
had done your share of work during
the last ten years the contrast would
not be so marked Her face has more
wrinkles than yours, far more, and yet
if you are sick that face would appear
more beautiful than an angels as it
lowered over you, watching every OPP
portunity to minister to your comfort,
and every one of these wrinkles would
seem TO be bright wavelets of sunshine
chasing each other over the dear face
She will leave you one OF these days.
These burdens If not lifted from her
shoulders will break her down. Those
rough, hard hands that have done so
many necessary things for you will be
crossed upon her lifeless breast. Those
neglected lips that gave you your first
baby kiss will be forever closed and
those sad tired eyes will have opened
in eternity and then you will appreci-
ate your mother; but it will be too
late.

AMERICUS, Ga, June 1S.--A catas-
trophe that might have been terrible
in its results was narrowly averted
here The Americas theater was pack
ed beyond its capacity Twelve hun
dred people, principally women and
children, filled the building when an
alarm Of fire was given from without.
Hundreds rushed for the single en-
trance, which is twenty feet above the
pavement and reached by a single
wooden stairway. Efforts of police and
teachers on the stage We're unavailing
until the orchestra struck up Dixie"
This served to restore quiet. In the
stampede on the outer stairway sever

been adjusted leaving little friction
between employer and employee. AS
the season advances the crop outlook
improves and there is no fundamental

traction in business are numerous, how

The results Of the present suit will be

The results Of the present suit will be
watched with even more interest that
that of the original merger. In. the for.
mer case we were satisfied that, what.
ever the decision. we would at least fall
into the hands Of friends--but who Mr..
Hartman is and what he would do to or
fol. the Northwest is something that we
know little about-and Of whom, to say
the least, we are somewhat doubtful.
Still, as we say, we do not know Mr.
Hartman; it is possible that he might
start in to make the Northern Pacific a
direct active competitor OF the Great
Northern. While this might not mean
much to us locally in the way of cheaper
rates, it would mean much in the way OF
local accommodations and more particu-
larly in the building of branch lines. If
this came to pass, and with the competi-
ton of the 500 as an additional factor, il
would mean very much for the northwest.

. SENATOR MccumBER,s BILL.

Senator McCumber has been working
this session on government grain in
spection bill. The bill provides that the
secretary Of agriculture shall organize a
bureau Of grain inspection to report on
the present forms and results of grain in-
spection, and also for the secretary. 70
appoint a force Of government grain in.
|spectors whose duty shall bese similar to
those appointed by the State Of Minnesu.
ia. This bill has evoked SO much oppo-
sition in congress that it will probably 60
over to next session.
For the man who knows but little o
the details of.the present method of in:
spection it is difficult to answer the argu.
ments of experts in the business. But
there are some things that are clear to
even :the manwho runs"
Senator McCumber has in a speech,
given some figures showing some won.
derful transmutations in the elevators at
Superior and Duluth in the comparison
of the amount and grades Of grain taken
in and shipped out. The elevator men
Indignantly deny any of such sleight-of-
hand performances, but if even what
they claim is true, what is to hinder
them from doing it if they wanted to?
Further, how do we know except by
theirown statement, that they do not
take advantage of their power.
We have always felt on this inspection
business that the farmers Of the north
west were at the mercy of the inspection
and elevator men at the terminals, and
that these men at the terminals, who
grade and store and buy wheat, were hu-
man.
AS it stands, there is no disinterested
Judge between the farmer and the eleva.
tor. That Minnesota inspectors and MINI
neapolis elevator men would be friendly
to each other rather than to a lot OF isola-
ted North Dakota farmers seems self evi-
dent. We believe that North Dakota
farmers would prefer inspectors appoint
ed by the general government.
There Is sScertainly no reason to expect
government inspectors to be worse than
state inspectors. or more dishonest and
they would certainly be more disinterest
ested. a
