Saving the Mineral Resources.

The general land ONCE has just
completed its classification of one por-
ton Of the coal lands recovered from
land grabbers, showing a saving to the
government of $7,5OO,OOO. This is
only one of numerous valuable coal
deposits restored to the public domain
by suits brought by the government,
Of which several more are still pend
ing. The lands classified and made
subject to sale are in wyoming, and
under former procedure would have
brought only $3.50, 900. Several other
large tracts in Colorado and Utah re-
covered in a similar manner are yet to
be valued and when these and the
cases now pending are decided it is
not e~xtravagant to estimate $4,000
600 brought to the treasury, to say
nothing of the many millions retained
by shutting off the grab system which
was rapidly ~despoiling the public do
main of all its valuable mineral lands.
These cases have been prosecuted
with little fuss. and most of the noise
heard has been the wall of defeated
land grabbers. The value of this
service, together with the protection
from monopoly of irrigation and water
power sites, is inestimable. 1t will rob
selfish interests of the power to retard
the development OF the west as well
as bring to the treasury the proceeds
of the public domain yet remaining.
Had past methods been continued it
would have been but a short time un-

ests would have secured all the val
liable coal deposits and water rights

The French Cabinet Crisis.

Cabinet crises in France are never
wholly unexpected, but the fall OF the
"Clemenceau ministry comes as a sur.
prise. Having passed through many
trying positions, on the question which
wrought its fall it was conceded a ma
iority until an unfortunate remark of
Premier Clemenceau caused a violent
revulsion of feeling. The incident
simply illustrates the slender thread
on which French cabinets hang, be-
cause no party or group is strong
enough in itself to sustain a ministry
and the slightest shifting Of issues
produces a reaction. Fortunately the
republic is so firmly established that
its existence is not menaced nov as in
former years by each cabinet success
sion. Foreign relations are also set
tied, so that changes in cabinets are
not likely to lead to foreign complica-
tions.
In the present instance It looks as
though the defeat of the Clemenceau
ministry we're purely a personal one
and that NJ. Bourgeoise would head
the new ministry, committed to the
same policies in the main as his pred
ecessor, with reform in naval admin
istration its greatest task. Develop
ments leading up to the fall Of the
Clemenceau cabinet showed that mill
lions of dollars had been wasted on
the navy and that the service was in a
d%eplorably inefficient condition. This
alone would have defeated the cabinet
had 1t not been disclosed that the
same conditions existed back into adj
m%inistrations controlled by Clemen-
ceau's opponents.
The most striking fact connected
with the fall of the ministry is the
proof that nothing but the un~prepared-
ness of France prevented war with
Germany during the troubles in
Morocco preceding the Algeciras con-
ference and that the retirement of M.
Delcasse, the most brilliant foreign
minister France has had in many
years, was the price of peace. 1t was
common knowledge that French rela-
lions with Germany were strained, but
it remained for this debate to empha-
size the acuteness of the situation. 1t
is such flashes which illumine the con
slant suspicion European nations en-
terrain for one another and the thin
veil of p~retense which cover the ever
present mailed fist.

Canal Bonds and Postal Savings.

The proposed issue of Panama
canal bonds is proving troublesome to
the treasury authorities. There is no
difficulty in disposing of United States
bonds, as the credit of the nation is
of the best and money seeking invest
ment is plentiful. 1t seems to be con-
coded, however, that without other in
ducements they cannot be floated at 2
per cent, and payment of 3 per cent
would undermine the value of exist
ing 2 per cent bonds now held almost
exclusively as security for national
bank notes. Forcing the 2 per cents
below par, as it is thought an issue
of a higher rate would do, would not
only work hardship upon the holders,
but might impair the credit of the
country. AS there is no further de
mand for bonds to protect bank circu-
lation, the new issue could with diff
Guilty be floated at par at 2 per cent.
Postal savings banks appear to be
the most feasible way out of the di-
lemma. One objection to the postal
savings bank has been the cry hat it
would withdraw too much money from
circulation and If the money were re-
deposited in commercial banks there
was no certainly safe security avail
able for such deposits. BY making
the Panama bonds exchangeable for
savings accounts and acceptable as Sc
curity for redeposits they could be
ioated at market rate without dis
turbing existing bond issues. With
holding the privilege of currency Sc
curity from the new bonds would also
counteract any tendency to currency
imitation and instability.
The country is ripe for and de-
manding postal savings banks and the
necessity for Issuing these bonds fur
nishes an opportunity for floating
them without disturbing unnecessarily
existing banking institutions or
forcing the government to accept I'M
certain securities for the redeposit Of
postal savings funds.

Increasing Meat Production.

For many years the western corn
belt and the western range has been
the source of the nations meat supply,
but curtailment of the range and in
creasing consumption are rapidly re-
ducing the supply compared with the
demand, with consequent high prices.
Despite range curtailment the west is
still capable of producing more meat,
but the time is in sight when 1t will
not be able to do so and keep up ex-
ports at present volume. Economists
are, therefore, turning to the east and
south and urging those sections to re-
turn to an industry which they have
largely abandoned.
Meat cannot be produced so cheaply
in the east and the southeast as in the
western corn belt, but at ruling prices,
and particularly If coupled with dairy
ing, these sections can do something
toward supplying home consumption.
Another feature of the question is the
relation meat production bears to re-
storing to fertility the debased soil Of
abandoned and unproitably titled
farms. Touching on this ]. H. Ballard,
an Indiana farmer, said in a recent
address to southern farmers:
To. the beginner a long talk on the sub
ject Is only confusing, and l will conclude
by saying that no country is very long
prosperous without live stock. 1 am of
the opinion that from one-third to one
half Of these plantation lands should be
kept in some pasture OF hay crops which
take care Of themselves with little labor;
and l am OF the opinion that during a
term Of years it will net more profit to
the owner than the exclusive corn and
cotton system OF your vicinity. This will
aid very materially in bringing about the
desired change and, with proper manage
ment, will prove profitable 70 the In
vestors.
II the southern and eastern farmers
will follow good advice, they will by
diversified farming not only solve a Sc
rious economical problem Of their own
but assist In solving one which
threatens, if not soon disposed of. to
be embarrassing for the nation before
many years.

Boston Transcript: That the people

mits Of no reasonable doubt even though
they failed to write that purpose definitely
their chief party platform, or to i'm
press that view on most OF the senator's
and representatives whom they nave regu-
larry elected.
New York World: Mr.. Taft has already
defined his objections to the Aldrich-Payne
bill. Neither the house nor the senate is
under constitutional obligations to consider
them, but II Mr.. Taft uses the veto, which
1t is his right and privilege and duty to
use when he deems it necessary, It will
require the votes Of two-thirds Of the
senators and two-thirds of the represen-
tatives TO give to a measure OF deceit and
false pretenses the force Of law.
New York Tribune: President Taft's
tariff Program Is one Of the progress and
enlightenment. He wants to keep faith
with the voters who accepted the repub-
hcan party's promise TO see tariffs framed
with Intelligence and with regard primarily
to national interests. He wants to respond
to the undoubted call OF the country"
In his leadership he is candid, courageous
and f~arsighted, n those who seek to
Withstand his demand for lowered tariff
rates will find that he has the voters al
most solidly behind him.

Rushville Recorder: That friendly inter-
change between Victor Rosewater of The
Bee and Edgar Howard of the Co
lumbus Telegram was an interesting pass
age of arms, In which Victor shows he is
at least a true chip of the old block In
everything but experience. However, there

ocrat of such a chameleon-like character
as Edgar Howard.

itor of The Omaha Bee, complaining
that the latter's editorial page lacks
old-time assaults on corporate wealth
and, with great show of feeling, &C.
plores what he assumes is a depression
from the policy established by the elder
Rosewater. The present editor Of The
Bee virtually informs Howard that he is
playing to the galleries, and would find
the Same fault with the late editor OF The
Bee If he were alive and in charge. He
reminds Howard that the latter Is ready
to applaud a republican paper II it boosts

County Charities.

The talk of relocating the county
poor farm brings up the whole Ques-
ton of our county charities which
should be re~organized according to
some definite plan before any steps for
the expenditure Of money on perma-
nent improvements should be taken.
The fact is that our entire system
of county charities, which has been in
herited from past ages and handed
down with patchwork additions, is an
tiquated and outgrown and at variance
with modern ideas Of adequate treat
ment of the poor. To be more definite,
there is no more reason for the county
to maintain a farm than to maintain
a factory, and instead of relocating
the poor farm 1t should be abandoned
altogether.
The county has three classes of I'M
fortunate poor to deal with-the chill
dren, the sick and the aged and inirm
and each class should have separate
accommodations and care.
AS to the children, a distinction
should be made between the homeless
and the vicious, between the healthy
and sound and the unhealthy and de-
~fective.
AS to the sick, what is wanted is
hospital accommodations, and here,
too, more or less distinctions must be
made. If the hospital is in one insti-
tuition it should have separate wards
for separate classes of patients. Our
hospital facilities should include at
least a general hospital, a lying-in
hospital, a hospital for contagious
diseases and outdoor wards for pull
monary victims. If the state under
takes to establish and maintain any of
these hospitals the county should not
duplicate.
AS to the aged and infrm, what is
wanted here is not a poor farm, but a
home. There should be two divisions,
one a home for aged and infirm women
and another a home for aged and in
firm men. Inmates of these homes
should be beyond the necessity of
labor and should have a comfortable,
though not luxurious, refuge in which
to pass their declining days.
A~ble-bodied adults are not entitled
to any assistance from the county and
should either work voluntarily or by
compulsion in a workhouse.
People temporarily afflicted, or only
partially dependent, and not properly
inmates OF any of these county institu-
lions, should have help through the
county poor agent without being COM
PEELED to leave their own homes.
This is only a rough outline of the
field OF county charities, subject, of
course, to development and modifca-
ton, but before the county board takes
definite steps along any of these lines
it should have complete plans and
specifications which it may work to.
1t might be useful for the county board
to appoint a charity commission of
philanthropic persons, who have been
more or less directly interested in
charity work, to investigate the sub
ject and make a report of what THE
situation here requires in developing
our county charities, what is most
urgent and what may be deferred.
