The University club, for which

FROM THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Far more drastic action is needed.
Forests can be numbered so as to
give to the public the full use of
their mercantile timber without the
slightest detriment to the forest, any
more than it is detriment to farm
to furnish harvest; SO that there is
no parallel between forests and
mines, which can only be completely
used by exhaustion. But forests, if
used as all our forests have been
used in the past and as most of them
are still used, will be either wholly
destroyed, or so damaged that many
decades have to pass before effective
use can be made of them again. All
these facts are so obvious that it is
extraordinary that it should be nee
essary to repeat them. Every bust
ness man in the land, every writer in
the newspapers, every man or woman
of an ordinary school education,
ought to be able to see that immense
quantities of timber are used in the
country, that the forests which sup
ply this timber are rapidly being eX-
hausted, and that, if no change takes
place, exhaustion will come compare
lively soon, and that the effects of it
will be felt severely in the everyday
life of our people. Surely, when
these facts are so obvious, there
should be no delay in taking pre-
tentative measures. Yet we seem as
a nation to be willing to proceed in
this matter with happy-go-lucky in
difference even to the immediate flu

HOME OWNING CAMP.

A home owning mining camp, the
biggest of its kind in the country, is
the destiny of this district. That
means a population which will have
care for its self respect, care for the
excellence and economy of its gov
eminent, individual ambition to rise
in the world and thoughtfulness for
the rights of others. With such pop
ulation no limit may be set for the
prosperity and activity of the dis
trict, not alone in the mining indus
try but in manufacturing and COM
mercial lines. 1 he ground work has
been put down for all of this and
building upon it is going ahead rap
idly. No single feature has been or
will be of such tremendous aid in
working to the ultimate end as the
part played by Ely City with it's SPLEEN
did location for homes and the ia
cility it affords for the investment of
savings in homes.

BRYAN, FINANCIAL EXPERT

Colonel William Jennings Bryan,
politician, soldier, editor publicist
and candidate for president of the
United States apparently in perpetuo,
would not be the opportunist that he
is if he failed to clutch at existing
financial and commercial conditions
in order to keep himself in the pub
lie eye and his lecture and lyceum
system in good working order. He
was in New York for short time on
Thanksgiving day and consented, I'M
der great pressure from the report
ers, to occupy the stage for a few
minutes as an expert on finance.
Hear him.
Il hope the end of the panic is in
sight, but | think the remedies pro-
posed by New York financiers begin
at the wrong end. They propose two
remedies: First, that the govern
ment shall give them money for moth
rates of interest and, secondly, larger
control than they now have through
the issue of an asset currency. They
have not proposed anything to stop
the looting of banks by directors or
to prevent banks from taking part in
gambling and specializing enter
prises. Even the suicides that fol-
low in the wake of exposure do not
touch their hearts"
To begin with, there has been no
financial panic" That sort of thing
is almost invariably accompanied by
failures in the banking and CONNER
cial world; in the recent disturbance
of normal money market conditions
absence of failures was one of the
most conspicuous and significant fac
tors.
Next. there is no pending PROPOSE
ton for the federal government to
give the banks or bankers its money
for nothing to be LOANED out at
high rates of interest,"; and in the
matter of an asset currency it must be
admitted that there is a crying need
for more flexible currency, and
who or what but the banks-unless
we are to absolutely revolutionize
our entire monetary system-is in
a position TO handle or control such
issues?
Finally, it is absolutely impossible
to make men honest and conservative
by federal law. The national bank
enactments place all sorts of safe
guards around the money of deposit
tors in federal banking associations;
but let a rascal or a set of ras-
Gals get into control of a national
bank and it will inevitably be looted
We might enact laws against murder
and theft every hour of every day
for the next one hundred years, max
ing each successive one more re-
pressive and prohibitory in its tend
encies than its predecessor-but MUIR
der and theft will still be committed.
1t is the rigid, inexorable enforce
ment of existing laws that operates
to minimize crime-not more law.
But both Roosevelt and Bryan ap-
pear to have conceived a notion that
honesty and the square deal' are
something to be provided by statu-
tory enactment.-New York Com

1t is to be gathered from reports
many of the mining districts of the
state has seriously retarded develop
ment during the last several months.
AS a result there is very likely to be
a great deal of valuable ground OPP
ened with a rush during the next few
months, which give every promise at
this time of putting money back in
circulation in abundance.

The bringing of matters to a head
and to final settlement at Goldfield in
the quickest possible time will be a
desirable end to the uncertainty
which has retarded progress in that
district during the last year and
more. The attitude of many of the
miners there has been such during
this time as to goad employers to the
limit of patience. Now it is the turn
of the latter and If the other fellows
