The Part Gold plays.

TIC the Editor Of the Evening Star;
Sir-So much is being printed on
the subject of rising prices and so
many reasons assigned that I wish
that everyone could in some way
be induced, when thinking on this
subject, to keep firmly in mind the
fact that every price is a ratio
a ratio between so many grains of
gold and something else, q ratio
of values, and that no cause can
change a price unless it affects that
something else differently from the
way it affects gold.
Does not this single fact throw
suspicion of error on every explana-
ton which fails to centre attention
on the relation of gold to other
things? Can farm conditions, labor
unions or trusts be charged with a
universal rise in prices unless it is
clearly shown that they have a diff
ferent effect on gold, the standard
OF value by which all prices are
measured, from that which they
have on other things?

PENNEY Ahead of TIme.

10 the Editor Of the Evening Star;
Dear Sir-Pennsyivania Railroad
gatemen at Jersey City to
take delight in causing unnecessary
trouble to Newark commuters. 1t
is the general custom to close the
gates from half a minute to m
times two minutes before the time
scheduled for a train to leave the
depot. As a result, homeward-bound
commuters or New Workers bound
for here are forced to stay at a
closed gate and see their train pull
out when they would have had
plenty of time to catch 1T II the
gate had been allowed To remain
open until the scheduled time for
the train to start.
This happens so frequently that
commuters have to allow from three
to ten minutes extra time to catch
their trains. The ferries and tunnel
trains run on such a close schedule
to train time that a delay of a
minute or two crossing the river
will result in the passenger standing
behind a barred gate with the gate
man laughingly telling him the
train has left when it is standing
still not 100 feet away.

DIARY OF AN AFRICAN HUNTER.

The year 1909 will go down in his
tory as being most prolific in dis
coveries. The North Pole was dis
covered, perhaps once, and maybe
twice. Sailing in IN C h a r t e red,
scientific seas, al italian professor
discovered stovaine. The years
sheaf of notable discoveries includ-
ed the hookworm, pellagra, the
nea~r-discovery of perpetual motion,
the re~-discovery of Halley's comet
and others too numerous to men,
ton.
But hardly had 1910 got under
way when the world was shaken to
it's foundations by the report of a
discovery so important as to we'll
nigh put the infant year on equal
footing with It's predecessor. Colonel
Roosevelt, alone and single-handed
in darkest Africa. discovered the

NATIONAL GUARD
AN OFFICERS SCHOOL

their duties in the field. Assemblyman Meyer, of Sussex, objects
to the present number of staff officers in the State Guard. and he
is right, if these officers learn practically nothing of field service.
When the Civil War began there was a dearth of material for
officers, and the States that had organized militia furnished many.
Hundreds of Civil War officers went out from the New York Ma,
tiona1 Guard. 1t is a fact that even with our small regular army
there is a shortage of officers. If an emergency should come TO
require the calling out of a large volunteer army we would have
presented again the problem of the Civil War-how to officer the
volunteers. An overoffcered National Guard, with officers well
instructed and experienced, would go far to solve the problem
The National Guard is principally a school for the soldier.
