SOMETHING COVERED UP.

President Roosevelt wishes the item
lied statement of expenditures made
from the war deficiency fund Of 1899
kept secret The figures were given by
the secretary of the treasury in reply
to a resolution of Senator Foraker, and
so far have been hidden from public
view in the files of the military COM
mittee. The reason the president gave
for his request was that the war fund
had been used to send military agents
into foreign countries to gather ma
terial for the secret use of this gov
eminent.
This statement is only partly true,
according to senators who have had ac-
cess to the document. In addition 10
paying the detectives who worked on
the Brownsville case, the administra-
ton is charged with using the fund as
a financial junk heap. The statement
shows that several junkets were paid
from this fund, and that in certain in
stances the fund was used for the en-
tertainment of military visitors from
foreign countries.
A full account of the ms and outs and
private deals and transactions of the
Roosevelt administration would prove
highly interesting reading, more so, in
deed, than anything likely to appear il

EAST WON'T USE SILVER.

The action of the treasury depart
ment some months ago in refusing to
prepay the express charges upon silver
white dollars out of existence as money
Prom the Mississippi river west the
people prefer the silver dollar To the
banks promise to pay for a like amount,
and until recently their wishes in the
matter have been respected. But the
banks Of the east are loaded with cheap
paper money as the result of treasury
operations on the heels of the panic, for
which there is. no demand.
According TO Frank ]. Hare, a Kan
sas City banker. there will soon be a
famine of silver money in the west un-
less the government resumes its former
practice of shipping the silver dollars
which drift eastward back to the west.
Mr. Hare sums up the situation thusly:
AS long ago as ten or fifteen years
the east began refusing silver dollars
and calling for currency The west re-
fused to accept paper. In order to rec
ognize the claims Of the silver mining
states Of Colorado, Nevada and others
the treasury department kept silver
current. gong to the length of deliver
.ng silver dollars at hanks from the
dearest sub treasury without requiring
the banks to pay the carrying charges.
x draft for s., 900 from Kansas City
bank to the sub-treasury at st. Louis
got Loo silver dollars delivered at the
bank in Kansas City. 1t cost the gov
eminent s1-25 t. make the delivery. Sill
vsc dnds its way east, and thousands
upon thousands Of silver dollars are
carried east in the pockets Of travellers
every week. never to come back. Once
carried east. the money goes into hid
ing. Eastern merchants who get it send
it to the bank. and when they draw out
money they call for paper.
The west used to make up for this
disappearance by getting the govern
ment to make original shipments AS
have said, the treasury department no
longer does this. We cannot afford to
pay 1875 for each $1,000 and it is quite
plain to see why this is so when I say

Fanny Kemble the celebrated actress
of years ago, once spent the summer at a
small country town in Massachusetts

Miss Kemble remarked somewhat testify:

pEFoRm IN CANADA.

There is a plan for parliamentary re-
form UP in the Dominion of Canada.
and the senate is to be brought several
degrees closer TO the people. Originally
the Dominion senate was intended as a
non-partisan and Independent branch
of the government, but the political
party in power. having the sole priv
flege of nominating and appointing SEN
ators. it naturally followed that the
body became Liberal or Conservative,
according to the length of time that one
or the other of the political parties re-
manned in power in the Dominion. When
Sir wTfred LaurieT came into power. In
1896. the Conservatives had held the
reigns of government eighteen years,
and naturally enough the senate con-
tanned only half dozen Liberals out
of a total membership of eighty-two.
Now the situation has been reversed.
and If the present premier holds on a
few years more the Conservatives in
the senate will have passed away to a
man.
I.aurier, however. is pledged to re-
form the senate. and ex-Secretary OF
state r. W. Scott has introduced re-
solution in the upper house which. If
adopted, will effect complete reorgani-
cation. His plan of reorganization IS
somewhat along the lines of the Amer
lean plan. but does not go the whole
length toward the election Of members
OF the senate from large constituencies

General Miles has q story of a corporal
in a regiment under his command In the
old Indian fighting days. This corporal
was much chaffed by his comrades for
his oft repeated expressions OF belief in
fatality and destiny"
One day Il appears that the corporal.
while off duty. was preparing to take a
little horseback exercise and recreation. A
private observed that the corporal took
care to attach a brace Of pistols to his
saddle Hello shouted the private to
the corporal, what are you taking the
guns for? They won't save you IL your
time has Gomez
True for ycu, grimly responded the
corporal; but 1 may happen to meet an
Apache whose last day has come"

EMIT AGE.

Now that the ak Of the woodman has
been applied to the forests, and the
lumber supply of the world viii soon
reach the vanishing point, the enlarged
use of concrete has become almost a
necessity. But even though lumber
could be had at much cheaper prices it
would be passed up as far as possible
in favor of the new building material.
The United States now leads the world
in the production of Portland cement
The growth of the industry in this
country practically dates from 1886,
when 10000 barrels of cement of nine
ty-five pounds each was the reported
production. Germany, the chief source
of supply for the ineonseauential use
of cement in the United States a little
more than two decades ago. reported
the manufacture of $500, 900 barrels in
1856. BY 1903 the United States had at
tanned a fair working knowledge of the
manufacture of cement, and had in
creased its output to 22,5OO,O 600 barrels,
OF more than 100 per cent more than
Germany produced.
In the year 1867 the United states pro-
duced 4e, OOO. 600 barrels and the imports
| had fallen to less than $4,000 barrels
The widest flights of the imagination
of the cement enthusiasts fail to prop
erly represent the estimated cement fig
ures for this country for 1909. Germany
exhibited at the Worlds Columbian ex-
position a striking display of her su-
premacy in cement and its application
to the building and art phases of de-
velopment. At the Louisiana purchase
/ exposition in st. Louis In 1904 Germany
had no cement exhibit. The supremacy
of the United States was acknowledged
The dream of Thomas Edison, the
building of a concrete house for work
men in twelve hours, is probably nearer
of realization than most people imagine,
Here in Salt Lake cement is being
largely used. and what is true of this
city is also true of all the other cities
of the country Even on the farm the
material is used for many purposes
and the farmer has become an expert
mixer. Cement is the chief hope Of San
Francisco and Kingston, Jamaica
whose buildings have recently been
tumbled down by earthquake shocks
1t will be resorted TO by Messina and
the other Italian cities whose streets
are now piled with the ruins of once
magnificent temples. cathedrals and
other examples Of architecture of dead
aud zone centuries
In the irrigation projects so much ce-
ment is being used that the government
has found it profitable TO enter the
manufacturing field. The Panama cana
will absorb more than $s.0O0,000 worth
Of cement for its concrete projects. The
keys of Florida have been bridged by
concrete and Key West and Havana
brought several hours nearer together
I There is practically no limit TO the pos
sibilities of the future in the use oil
cement. and aside from Its cheapness
and durability the lower rate of insur-
/ ance is an important item to be taker
into consideration.
