A NEW PHASE OF THE SILVER
QUESTION.
American Mining Congress seeks In.
creased Use Of White Metal.

The, American Mining Congress
holds its Twelfth Annual Session ut
Goldfeld. Nevada, Sept. eth to Oct.
"a. and proposes to take up discus
sion Of the Silver question, with !,
view to bringing about a greater use
or the white metal, thereby increasing
Its price and decreasing the rate OF
exchange with silver-using countries.
Ihis phase of the question is different
from the free silver doctrine of a few
years ago. and becomes an important
issue at this time. by reason of the
fact that American manufactured
products are in great peril of being
excluded from the silver using coun-
tries of the Orient and South America
because of the high rate of exchange ,.
An adjustment of the silver question.
therefore. becomes imperative, else
these very desirable markets will be
closed to American industries.

Where Birds are Safe from Guns.

Off the east coast of Louisiana are
Islands where government protection
gives the birds a safe home. The re-
suits Of this protection have been mar
Vicious. Herbert K. Job writes in Hac-
pers of his trip to these wonderful is
lands, where herons. terms, and laugh
'ng-gulls almost cover every inch of
the ground since the protective policy
has been in practice. These birds
eventually leave the islands and peo-
pie all our coasts; but before the pro-
lection they were being rapidly ex-
terminated for millinery and other
purposes. Mr.. Job took some unusual
photographs from tiny ten which he
set up among the birds.

LITTLE HUMAN OSTRICH.
Fills Aching Void With Matches
Irvine, Pins and Needles.

When she is hungry, Jennie Yates will
eat anything. solid substantals preferred.
Jennie is only IS months old. but she
knows how to fill an aching void. She
lives at 2233 Norris street.
Jennies mother found the baby proudly
surveying a row of matches yesterday.
Mrs. Yates was frightened when she saw
that the sticks were sulphur minus their
heads. There were 80 in the row. Mrs.
Yates, child in arms. ran to the North
west General Hospital. The stomach
pump brought this queer collection from
Jennie's interior.
Thirty-three match heads.
One large elastic band.
Twenty-Five hard, uncooked beans.
Two pins.
One yard Irvine.
One threaded needle.
One piece of pink thread, attached to
said needle.
After that Jennie was handed back to
her mother. Apparently she suffered nc
il. effects from her curious afternoon
tiffin. The physicians were very much in
terested in the case. Mrs. Yates told
that for some months her daughter must
have been swallowing small objects. She
noticed that Jennie reached out for every
thing she saw and placed it in her mouth
Until today she supposed that the child
was only biting on the hard articles. as
she would on a teething ring or rattle
Mrs Yates is going to keep Il very close
watch on Jennie hereafter.
The doctors were unable to explain the
baby's appetite for indigestible knick-
knaclls. They considered it wonderful
that her throat was not torn and hel
stomach lacerated by the needles an6

for any substantiating proof that a
preparation is non-poisonous. They

REVERSE DECISION
OF LOWER COURT
Judge McCarty Holds Physician May
Not Unduly Influence Patient.

Salt Lake, April 21.-A Judgment
given by Judge Ferdinand Erickson, OF
the First District court. In a suit of
cancel deed TO property. Is reversed
in an opinion which was handed down
tuesday in the State Supreme court.
The case was that of Joseph S. and
Iina S. Peterson, Of Logan, against
Drs. Il. B. and David c. Bulge The
supreme court opinion set aside a
judgment in favor of the Budges and
directs that judgment be entered in
favor of the Petersons The opinion
was written by Justice McCarty and
Is concurred in by Chief Justice D.
n. Straup.
Property had been conveyed by
PETERSON In 1906, it was alleged, while
he was Ill, to the Budges. who attend
ed Peterson for some time In a medi"
cal way. The property was worth ST.
600. II was held that Peterson, being
threatened with foreclosure on some
property. was induced to transfer the
property. on the representation that
it would be decided back to him upon
his paying expenses in the matter
II was alleged during the trial of
the case that Peterson was sick when
he made the transfer, but this was de-
MED by the Budges. Justice Frick
holds that the evidence was not of a
character to support the allegations
of duress and fraud and that the
lower court was justified in taking the
stand 1t did on this part Of the ques-
ton. but that the district court should
not have held that the fiduciary rela-
tion of physician and patient did not
exist between the parties to the case
at the time of the transfer. In regard
to tie consideration, Justice Fricll
says physician may exercise his
Judgment In dealing with his patient
il the relation is not abused.

on which, II sold, they might have to
stand a loss.
The use OF bonds as security for bank
currency was not begun because
bonds were an ideal or even proper
basis for paper currency, but because
it was a vital necessity to find a mar
ket for bonds and that made a very
large outlet for them. Now, more than
half a century of use has accustomed
our people to that basis. and there
Is not only the force OF habit, but,
what is worse, the force Of a powerful
false sentiment which prevents a
change. We take pride In imagining
that our country alone can borrow
money at per cent. which We can
not do at ALL and there Is the battle

that all United States bonds. having
been sold with the currency privilege
attached. 1t cannot be with good faith
taken away, or perhaps exposed to the
competition of other forms of paper
currency.
There Is little disagreement among
those who understand this subject as
to what should be done. Government
bonds should no longer be used as
a basis for currency. The first step
toward that would be to issue no more
bonds with that privilege attached.
and the next to refund all outstanding
bonds on fair terms into new bonds
which do not have the currency privil-
ege. This would involve higher rate
OF interest than we now pay, and be-
fore it can be done with political safety

educated to understand It's necessity.
Just now is an excellent time to be-
gin. There is a great speculative
movement in wheat, accompanied by
a phenomenal rise in the price of
bread If 1t can once be got into the
public understanding that by selling
2 per cent bonds with the currency
privilege attached to national banks
we virtually compel them to take out
currency whose only use at this time
is for lending to spectators in wheat
and other things, 1t may be that the
voters can be made to see that we
would all be better off if we could
adopt the basis for paper currency
which gives perfect satisfaction in f.
nancially civilized nations.
