mountainous country, with but little
natural advantages, has, by thrift

too, by their monkey-like initiative
ness and cunning effrOntery, have
boosted themselves into species of
notoriety that makes itself felt
wherever their conceit and chicanery
are tolerated.
The government of Great Britain
discourages, if not directly prohibits,
any of the products of it's territories
to be sold off in crude state, but, on
the contrary, buys up all the mate
rial it can get from abroad, manu-
features it and only exports the fin
ished products. Great Britain is a
country of factories-the greatest in
pool leads in import and export
traffic. The French government will
not allow any wheat grown in France
or Morocco to be exported. 1t must
all be ground in France, and the gov
eminent pays royalty of so cents a
barrel for all flour manufactured. The
same principle holds in all of those
old world countries. They know that
the profit from manufacturing and
exporting is from two to fifty times
greater than from selling off raw ma
terial. Not only is one leading ar
ticle manufactured from some par
ticular material, but also many by
products are made from refuse and
remnants that would otherwise be
useless.
The people of those old world
countries having lived for ages, gen.
Grafton after generation, within their
own national borders, have a COM
monality of feeling and interest
among themselves, and their natural
desire is to build up their own lands
even if it be at expense of other
countries. Many of those old world
countries, with small but we'll peo-
pied areas of territory and but limit
ed natural resources, have grown
more or less rich according to their
advantages.
In the country known as the Uni
ted States the methods as described
above do not prevail, nor are gen
eral conditions so thriving and salts
factory as its advantages should
naturally lead to. Differences in
soil, climate, environment, human
temperament and other conditions
have given rise to a disposition on
the part of some sections to take I'M
due advantage of other sections and
grow rich at their expense Two hun
dred years ago this country was
probably richer in varied natural re-
sources than any other part of the
world OF the same area. 1t was COW

men of small capital and dependent
upon Immediate results for a liveli-
hood Pressing necessity, temporary
over-supply, Indifference to large
profits, and other things lead farm
ers to be satisfied with moderate re-
turns. The occupation of manufac-
turing, also that of merchandising,
both require ingenuity, capital, bust
ness sense, foresight, and bigger re-
turns to make them self-sustaining.
Capital and business sense claim the

ed to muscle-unless it belongs to

If the conditions above described
prevailed to only moderate or

undue advantage of the others, and
was not furthered in so doing by
governmental or other outside aid, it
would be all right to let we'll enough

brought forth, and never lose sleep

in this land disposition, born of in
satiate greed, fOstered by favorable
conditions, has grown into robust
policy on the part Of manufacturers
and spectators to absorb, by fair

AS with individuals, it is also true
as regards nations and sections
Some nations and some sections of
country use large amount of diplo-
macy and statecraft in advancing
their national and sectional interests
to the deprivation of others. Some
nations and sections grow rich at the
expense of others not up in higher
finance and speculation. CONNER
cial nations vie with each other in
getting control of all possible raw
material and then, by skill in handi-
craft and enterprise in trade, grow
rich, while other lands, that furnish
raw material, remain in the back

arise, railroads traverse the land and
the oceans are covered with their
trading vessels.

FOR NATIONAL BUREAU.
SUGGESTION MADE BY AMERI-
CAN MINING CONGRESS.
Headquarters Of the Organization
Established in This City-State-
ment by Secretary.

The American Mining Congress has
opened headquarters in this city to in
augurate a campaign for a national
bureau of mines. 1t is declared that
both President Taft and Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger favor the project and
will make strong recommendations to
Congress for such an establishment.
James +. Gai,breath. jr., of Denver
Col. secretary of the congress. stated
that no one who understands the situa-
ton Is opposed to a bureau of mines.
But One Difficulty.
THE only difficulty" he says. lies in
the fact that many persons do not realize
the terrible conditions that obtain in the
mining industry and how much we need
the aid of the federal government. In
the last three decades more than 10000
men have been killed and 1OO,OO injured
in the coal mines alone. a majority of
the latter beng MANNED and rendered
helpless for life. In 1907 1926 men lost
their lives in the coal mines, or nearly
five men in every mi ming camp of 1000
men. Contrast this with the one or two
men killed in every 1000 employed in
foreign countries, where they have
bureaus of mines that are making a
thorough study into the causes Of disas-
tiers
"A very excellent work is being done
along this line at present by the tech
nologic branch OF the United States geo.
logical survey, but this is not sufficient
TO cope with the situation as it is today.
The real work of the survey is geology
and it's hgher officials are skilled in
geology, but not in mining. The saving
OF the lives of miners is not task for
geology. but for eminent scientific min
ing engineers.
Estimate of Human Life.
Human life is held very cheap in the
United States" Mr.. Gailbreath adds. Il
venture to say that not many persons in
the state of New York know that in the
metal mines of their state six men were
killed in every 1000 employed the other
year. but the figures OF the state labor
commissioner show this very condition.
THE bills already introduced in Con-
gress all provide for the transfer OF the
technOlOgic branch Of the geological sur
vey to the bureau, which Is entirely
proper This means that with the usual
appropriations given to that branch the
new bureau of mines will cost but little
more than the present appropriations. The
bureau cannot be objected to on the
ground of economy. Congress apprOpri-
| ates more than million dollars each
year to ma ntain life-saving stations on

forty-ive lives lost In 1907. Isn't the

sideratiOn?'

Prosperity Of Territory.

The governor then goes on to say that
II is gratifying that the year just passed
has been one of general prosperity to
the territory and was marked by sub
stantial growth in the output Of the mines
and the products of the soil. None OF the
industries Of the territory suffered disas-
tiers of any kind. On the contrary, near
" all OF them. especially mining: farming
and stock growing, prospered. There was
therefore, satisfactory increase In the
wealth Of the people. Labor FOUND en-
nloyment at good wages and there was
shown a gratifying tendency on the part
Of the wage-earners to establish perma-
nent homes where they were employed.

COUNTING ON ADMISSION
PEOPLE OF ARIZONA A UNIT
FOR STATEHOOD.
Confidently Expect to Receive It at
the Regular Session Of the
Present Congress.

1.-THE people Of the territory are unit
in their desire for statehood" says Gov
Richard Sloan of Arizona in his annual
report to Secretary Ba,linger Of the In
terror Department, given out for publica-
ton today They not only desire IT,
continues the governor. ''but confidently
expect to receive it at the next session
Of the present Congress-. This confidence
is based on declarations made in recon,
political platforms, the favorable con-
sideration hitherto given to the efforts OF
the territory to Obtain admission by the
House Of Representatives and the seem
ingly growing sentiment in favor Of early
admission on the part of the Senate
and particularly upon the ground that In
the light Of the precedent Congress has
hitherto set In the admission Of new
states, statehood Is due us as matter
Of fair and just treatment.

day a crowd estimated at 10000 passed
through the gates, and swarmed oveH
the grounds, this being the largest one
day attendance in the south. Frank ID.
Fuller, superintendent of racing, who
was at the Memphis and Nashville fairs,
declared that he had never seen so
many people at one time within the
fair grounds at either Nashville or
Memphis.
From point of detail the critics de-
clare 1t has no equal. The business
men, standing together, have put all
their efforts in making their displays
numerous and interesting. Hardly an
enterprising firm but has been repre-
scented. The farmers sent their best
products in greater profusion than ever
before and three more counties sent ex-
hibits than at any previous fair.
In every department. including poul
try, hogs, cattle and racing, the ex-
hibits and entries have been unequaled.
The grounds were put in first-class
shape, and with every day sunny day,
no dust and plenty of breeze, the con-
| ditions have been ideal.
To the president of the association.
! C. w. Ufford, much of this success IS
being attributed. He has practically

tending to the details of contracts and
concessions and grouping around him

superintendent.
| During the fair, and for about three
weeks before its opening Mr.. Ufford
lived on the grounds, slept there, and
spent all his waking hours in actual
work. He has borne the brunt of the
responsibility, but has always been as
sisted by one of the most active execu-
tive committees ever connected with .Ae
