an everlasting reminder of those who

of this battleship a Spanish newspa-

Dor is rapidly filling. Aside from pat
riotic considerations, which should
be paramount. 1t must be recognized
that we have absolutely no right to
thus injure the harbor of a friendly
people.
Governor Magoon went into this
situation fully in his final report

he said, that 1t Is necessary to Sc

authorities of the United States en-

This permission. il necessary, can be
easily secured and the Cuban govern
ment would gladly afford every assist
ance in It's power to accomplish the
desired result. not only because OF
the injuries to the harbor facilities,
but also because of promptings of
patriotism and sentiment"
Every advocate of removing the
wreck of the Maine from the harbor
couples his expression with a sug
gestlon that the wreck should be
preserved intact at some point OF ma
tional interest. since the ship unques-
tionably represents an epoch in Amerl-
can history,
And what are the reasons why the
Maine should not be raised?
Hostile Spanish interests In Ha-
vana say we are afraid TO raise the
Maine because we will find that the
explosion was internal rather than
external We have the word, how
ever, of divers who examined the
wreck years ago. that the yawning ca
vties in the bulk are blown In in
stead of out and the American peo-
pie at least are morally confident
that tho elevation OF the wreck can
not and Will not involve any question
of national reproach. Furthermore,
the wreck has lain in the mud and
mire for eleven seasons and disin-
tegration has set In to a sufficient de-
gree TO make any definite diagnosis
questionable possibility.
The only other argument against
the removal OF the wreck is sentiment.
L talked to q gunners mate on the
new Maine while 1t was in Havana
and he expressed the most earnest
hope that the wreck be not disturbed,
Pressed for a reason he confessed
that most of the boys in the navy
strongly desired that the sixty-three
brave jackies who are there entombed
be allowed TO rest on in undisturbed
eternity.
To remove the wreck of the Maine
from Hayana's harbor will In no wise
rob 1t OF its place With the Bonhom-
me Richard and the other brave boats
which have written their glory on the
pages of American history The story |
OF the Maine is national heritage !
and the wreck Itself is no longer |

And yet. after all Is said and done. |
1t cannot be theoretically denied that |
no Cuban citizen should be able TO |

latter charge another Spanish daily
used the following language, demon
strating TO the observer the indisput-
able fact that so long as the wreck of
the Maine remains In Havana harbor
1t Will stand as an unanswered
enigma Here Is the quotation an
swering the renewed suggestion that
Spain destroyed the Maine,
"Spaniards in Cubal The vile Of

During the week of the change OF

printed in practically every Havana
newspaper dealing with the subject OF
the probable authorship of the trag-
edy IL years before Many an ar
ticle was couched in most pronounced
and innammable phrases The result
of such discussion cannot be good.
The greatest failing which threatens

IT is stated that, in the event that
a general strike of railroad employees
is contemplated, several roads will
ask U. S. courts for a receiver and
injunctions making the roads and en-
ployees parties to the affair. We do
not understand all the workings of
courts in the matter of injuctions and
receiverships, but this we do know
that it viii put the operation OF SUCH
roads in the hands of the government.
Such an act would simply iou { Q
the roads asking for temporary govern
ment control. If such a plan should
be carried out, it would be one of the
strongest possible arguments for
government ownership.

If there is one thing more than
another that should settle the Home
stake strike at Lead in favor of the
owners and non-union labor it is the
pernicious meddling of the bunch of
anarchists and grafters posing as the
Western Federation of Miners. 1t
was an emissary of this organization
that went to Lead to convince the
satisfied and commended miners that
they would do better under unionism,
and the first attempt at law breaking
came from this very man, when he
applied foul epithets to a priest of
the Roman Catholic church. 1t is in

There are deposits of phosphate in
the states of Wyoming, Utah and
Nevada. These beds are located in
government lands. 1t was the plea
of this specialist that none of these
phosphate lands should be allowed
to get into the hands of private own
ers and that every ton of it should be
saved for thu reconstruction OF our
own lands. The argument fits nicely
with the rising sentiment for conser-
walton of timber and coal! lands and
with the announced policy of the Taft
administration. 1t is manifest that
the American people have not arous-
ed themselves to the need of action
any too soon.-Argus-L Leader.

! haustable asset, as we once looked
upon the millions of acres of standing
timber. We thought this timber would
supply all of our lumber for all time
to come and were only rudely awak-
ened from the silly dream when we
discovered from the constantly in
creasing price of lumber that the tim
Der supply was fast decreasing. Ger
many was more foresighted, and more
than 100 years ago started its policy
sof the conservation of its timber sup
p with the result that Germany today
has a larger per capita supply of tim
dred years ago. 1t was with the idea
of arousing public sentiment on the
Importance of conservation of our re-
sources that DIR. Perisho talked.
DR.. Perisho has made a study of
soil, and his talk upon its needs was
ulOop luoGI uCIlfC. We tdhC lIOlu JIG
soil with every crop a certain percen-
tage of the chemical ingredients
which are essential to fertility. Some
of these ingredients are restored by
natual process. Thus a change of
crops can be made to restore nitrate
and potash, but no change of crops
has yet been found which will restore
the phosphate taken from the soil. 1t
is the opinion of DR.. Perisho that in
the last fifty years the great west has
extracted about thirty per cent of the
effective fertility of the soil and he
wants to know when the process is
going to stop, OF whether it will be
continued as it was in New England
until the disaster of the abandoned
farm shall appear alse in the great
west.
There are just three developed phos-
phate beds in the United States. One
is in Florida, the second is in South
Carolina and the third in Tennessee.
We are shipping hundred of thous-
ands of tons of this valuable fertilizer
every year to Europe, which buys it
at a high price to keep the productive
power of European lands up to stand
ard. These mines are owned by pri-
vate corporations and Of course the
output is sold where it will command
the highest price. The speaker point-
ed out that we are taking phosphates
