bushel of "slugs"-pearls of irregular
shape-has been discovered In a sacri-
fetal mound in the Ohio Valley. The
pearls were all pierced and burnt, and
therefore intrinsically valueless. Still
more remarkable are the discoveries
in mounds of gorgets which must have
been very beautiful when the red
chiefs wore them. All the gorgets found
have thirteen scallops. and in each
scallop YVES founded a pearl. To-day,
undrilled, each would be worth 5000

There is no way of knowing how
many pearls children have played with

their value. But the number must be
considerable. A pearl fisher whom /

Mr. Taft Utters a Great Truth.
THE government of the United

within the lines of law; but ordinarily
the government ultimately does JUS

The President was speaking with
particular reference to a local situa-
ton, yet he voiced a great truth,
which deserves more attention than it

The most striking characteristic Of

When real statesmen lead, gov
eminent always moves slowly, not be-
cause it is impossible to move quick

by government IN haste are so far
reaching and have such lasting effects.
A wise statesman always questions
the plausible and always strives to

In order that blunders may be avoid

For no repentance can wipe away
the sin of great government S
blunder. 1t must always be paid for,
and commonly the only coin that is
legal tender for its payment is suffer
ing or blood.
Without going back to the recon-
struction period, Mr.. Taft pointed out
for example the blunder that produced
the disasters of 1893 and 1897.
Never were more plausible argu-
ments of national interest and of
what was widely supposed to be nat

for the legislative effort to maintain
gold and silver in a mathematical re-
lation as standards of currency value.
AS we now see, there was no natural

the exploitation of the earth's mineral
resources.
Yet because responsible men in gov

that this Industrial accident was pass
ing into oblivion a whole great nation,
composed of people really the richest
on earth, was early plunged into ir-

bankruptcy.
1t Is not necessary to speak of other
governmental blunders since, further
panic was mainly the result of efforts
to exalt agents of government above
the law, to substitute for government
Of laws a government of men, that
ended quickly.
Because Of impatience and haste
readiness to accept the plausible, and
refusal patiently to consider what
might be the ultimate effects of action,
we narrowly escaped a revolutionary
change in our form of government and
the establishment of an industrial
despotism.

that only under and within the grad
