iithNiChof vi lHt duCltHt
of the Mississippi valley, by Squier
and Davis, was issued in 1913, and
distributed In this country and abroad.
The germs of the present exchange
system are evident I'm the words of the
first secretary, Joseph Henry, who
wrote as early as 1892:
THE worth and Importance OF the
institution are not to be estimated by
what 1t accumulates within the walls
of its building, but by what 1t sends
forth to the world. Its great mission
Is to facilitate the use OF all the i'm
plements OF research, and to diffuse
knowledge. which this use may de.
velop. The Smithsonian publications
are sent to some institutions abroad,
and to the great majority of those
at home, without any return receipt
save In some cases that of co-opera-
ton in meteorological and other OBJ
servations."
AS now conducted, the rules for the
control of the exchange service pro
vide in addition to the distribution of
the United States government publica.
tons TO foreign Libraries, for the dis
tribution abroad of books, pamphlets.
charts and other printed matter sent
as gifts or exchanges from literary and
scientific societies or individuals to
correspondents abroad, without ex-
pense to the sender beyond that of de.
livery to the Smithsonian institution
in Washington. No charge is made
to the receiver except in some in
stances the cost of delivery from the
Smithsonian agent or correspondent
nearest to him. Similar material sent
from abroad to this country Is for
warded to the recipient without ex.
pense to him, the packages having
been delivered free of freight charges
to the foreign agent or correspondent
of the institution.
The international exchange service
has now grown to huge proportions.
Three paid agencies abroad are main
tanned in London, in Leipsic and in
Budapest. The shipments sent abroad
by the Smithsonian exchange service
include practically every organized
community In the world, from Ireland
to South Africa. They are made in
uniform packages or boxes. and ship,
ments to smaller communities are sent
whenever enough material has accu.
mulated to warrant its transmission
To larger agencies the service is
weekly. To France, in 1907, went 1853
boxes and 12.061 packages; to Great
Britain and Ireland. 30S boxes and 90.
2l3 packages. and similar amounts to
other large agencies, supplying in all
nearly $4,000 correspondents. In re.
turn France sent 1857 packages of
books, Great Britain and Ireland T.,
937, British America 800, and so on.
1t may be seen from the larger fig.
ures on the shipment side that the
United States government is more
generous than any other nation in the
matter of publishing and giving away
literature of scientific and an educa
tional nature.
The exchange service is limited tc
voluntary contributions from recog
nized societies. institutions or facul
ties. The United States does not un
dertake to ship free of charge books
purchased in different countries, nor
scientific apparatus nor instruments.
The exchanges are still administered
for the same purpose as at their begin.

This is Worth Trying

An expert in Salt Lake City in search
ing for means for roofing out the
dandelion pest from lawns claims to
have found the following effective:
Two pounds of sulphate of iron was
dissolved in two gallons of water. It
was then poured into spraying pump.
In one place a patch of dandelons was
sprayed heavily, another patch was
sprayed medium, and a third patch was
sprayed lightly. Inside of an hour the
dandelions were burned black as coal
The lawn grass and the clover was not
touched and stood as fresh as ever.
The grass was not affected when the
dandelions were sprayed the heaviest.
The dandelions were killed to the
roots. The body of the roots absorbed
the sulphate, and it is said the sprouts
will not come up from the roots again.
The grass looked brighter than any
other in the grounds.
AS the cost is light this is worth try

This paper is not prepared to dispute

two entirely different matters. The

Charge Dismissed

District Attorney Swallow yesterday
received letter from Deputy District
Attorney Brede, at Rawhide saying that
the case against TEX" Richard,
brought against him by the state police
in that camp, for running a short card
game without license, had been dis
missed in accordance with the wishes of
Swallow. ''The state police have been
over stepping the bounds of their office, !"
said Attorney Swallow, land l have
been informed that on two different
occasions recently, they have gone to
places where short card games were be-
ing RIM and had made threats to close
up their houses if they opened without
a license for the games. The state
police have no right to step in the shoes
of the county assessor and demand
licenses for anything, and should refrain
from interfering. Their sole duties are
as peace officers, and as such have no
business in collecting licenses. Gold

THE PANIC and The TRUSTS

The recent tragedy in Union Square,
New York, occurred when 10, 600 unem-
ployed men sought to meet, to demand
of the city work for $50, 200 of the I'M
employed in the largest and richest
city in the United States.
Now we read that the city council of
Philadelphia is to be asked to appropri-
ate $50, 600 to keep the wives and babies
of men out of work in that great city,
from starving to death. The number
of unemployed in the Quaker City is
given as more than 100000.
We read also that the wages of 1885,
600 operatives in the New England cot
ton mills have been reduced ten per
cent.
In the same issue of the newspaper
containing the item from Philadelphia
and that from New England, is another,
telling of an advance of about fifteen
per cent in the price of beef in IL single
week.
Evidently, in the east, at least, the
panic is still raging. Evidently not
even the highest protective tariff in the
history of the United States can check
it's ravages. Evidently not republican
president, republican congress and a
republican court can insure against it,
even after many years of the biggest
crops at the best prices.
Evidently the man who works for his
10 lou,
are out of work and starvation is at the
door
But. evidently the trust magnatcs are
not suffering Their sales are curtailed,
it is true, but they are making up for
that loss ut both ends.
AT one end they are reducing wages.
AT the other end they are raising
prices
So they are making their losses fall,
not on their own shoulders, but on their
employees and on their customers. The
effect, of course. is to make the panic
even harder on the ordinary man than
it would he otherwise.
The panic is the result of republican
policies. and of republican failure to en-
force the law. The trusts that pinch us
now when the panic is upon us are fos-
tered by republican protective tariff
md owe their existence to the favor of
republican officials. a republican prcsi-
u"ht ana congress are now proposing
the passage of ii bill that will fasten the
trusts permanently on the country and
grant them amnesty for all their lawless
"ffcnscs of the past.
