THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON

Within the limits of the city the lord mayor is a little sovereign. His only troops are 1000 policemen, but no royal troops may enter the city without his permission. He receives the password of the Tower every three months, under the sign manual of the king. But other things are, more pre- cious to him than this, for he is the recognized fountain head of hospitality in the United Kingdom. The city of London is the only city in the world which royalty officially recognizes. The mayor of London recently receiv- ed the emperor of Germany. the pres ident of France and many lesser po- tentates. The city of Berlin attempted to assume similar distinction during the recent visit of King Edward to Germany. Within the city the lord mayor takes precedence of all persons save the king. Even the Prince of Wales falls behind him on official occasions.
 Prior to the creation of the Thames. Conservancy Board in 1857 for the care and preservation of the shipping of London the lord mayor rode to par lament dlt'i HIS tl''hi'i in splendid mediaeval barge. with tapestried canopies and banks of row CTS, like an oriental prince Since the control of the Thames has been taken away from the city the barge has never been used.
 The Lord Mayors Show is the greatest show of London. Following his election bv the members of the guilds. the lord mayor and the alder men proceed with great ceremony from the Mansion House along First street and the Strand to the Courts of Jus tice where the lord mayor takes the oath of office. The lord mayor is clad in fifteenth century apparel. He is covered with official jewels. Accom- panied by retinue of sheriffs and all dermen, the show then proceeds to the Guildhan. where the lord mayors ban quet takes place The cost of the show and the banquet amounts to about s2O. 900. one half of which is paid by the lord mayor and the other half by the sheriff.
 As compensation for his services the lord mayor receives an allowance of s50. 900 a year-Frederick C. Howe In Scribner

NO DANCER OF AN IRON FAMINE

The mineral resources of America ited. This is just as true of iron ore,
 the most abundant and relatively the | cheapest, as it is of those carrying the precious metals. With the rapidly | increasing consumption of iron and steel. the available supply of iron
 ore may therefore at some time in
 the future be exhausted. When this
 will occur is the subject of much theorizing. Widely different conclu- sions have been drawn by those who
 have made stury of the question. This is to be expected. as the calcula-
 tions are more or less based on as-
 sumptions. Still. they all clearly in
 dicate that in d relatively short time
 ores sufficiently rich in iron and free | from deleterious elements to be melt ed in blast furnaces without any pre-
 vious preparation will be used up There is, however no danger of any
 famine in the supply of raw material for the iron ard steel industry until a future so distant that there is no way
 of even guessing it. There are enor-
 nous quantities of low-grade and impure iron ores that have been ly-
 ing, so to speak. in reserve, and so
 far have only been touched Among
 them are those with a high percent age of elements such as sulphur, phos-
 phorus. titanium, etc, which are det-
 rimental in iron manufacture, besides the numerous and great occurrences of
 lean ores that carry high percentages Of gangue minerals or moisture. These are just beginning to play an in- creasingly important role although the preparation through which they have
 to pass before they can be profitably smelted considerably increases the cost per unit of iron above the mere
 mining cost.
 An efficient and cheap method of
 preparing them, by means of con centration or otherwise, is therefore {.
 subject of the utmost interest to ev- erybody connected with the iron and steel trade. A number of important developments in this line have re- gently been mentioned or discussed in trade papers; for instance, the sepa- ration Of the Adirondack titaniferous ores SO as to make them useful in present blastfurnace practice: the preparation of Cuban low grade ores. which on account of their extremely high water content once were consid- cred of little value: and the econom- ical conversion of low-grade ores in general. both hematites and magne- tites. into product fully equal, if not superior. to the best natural iron ores obtainable-N.

A Warning to Mothers.

Boy Broke His Leg. Carrying v-ood." is the caption of story de- scribing recent accident at Mesa. This fracture is an indirect result of the unreasonable climatic conditions which have prevailed for some days. Ordinarily the youth of this sun kissed valley are not subjected to the risk which in this case had such a disastrous result. There is so- little carrying in of wood necessary that the boy. if he carry at all. need not overload himself to the extent that his legs give way under the weight of it.
 This Mesa incident should be a lesson to mothers. who. though not heartless. are nevertheless frequently thoughtless, and. without weighing the consequences. dispatch their male offspring on these hazardous expe- ditions to the wOodhouse. or worse yet, to the woodpile. where the boy must even chop or split the wood wherewith he loads himself to the enlargement of his neither limbs
 We can think of a no more perilous occupation for a boy than carrying in wood. though the carrying of a bod of coal is not without it's hazardsA
 To the youth of the Salt River valley the transportation of wood or coal is doubly dangerous. The boys of the northern states, where the win ters are rigorous. from their tenderest years become carriers of wood. an occupation which they pursue with that impunity with which practice and skill invest those who pursue the most dangerous caIlfngs, like those of the steeple jack. The northern youth may. though we have rarely seen them. revel amid the terrors of wood carrying

Statements by Messrs. Mann and Hill in the house yesterday regarding the use of revenue cutters for the relief of private citizens should be given the widest publicity. It was in reply to the narrow and impudent suggestion that a cutter would not have been sent to hunt for a less distinguished citizen than the owner Of the Nourmahal. In fact. during the search for the yacht that same suggestion was offered by certain newspapers. It was forgotten that in spite of his wealth, Colonel Astor was still an American citizen, pos sibly in distress. and that cutters and other government vessels are readily placed at the disposal of Americans in distress.

MeIancholia and Patriotism.

The Associated Press dispatches or yesterday. as they appeared here. made Attorney General Wickersham say that l.. R. Glavis had evidently mis- taken his own melancholia for a sense of patriotic duty. Instead Of ''melancholia'' the attorney general said "megalomania," quite different thing, an overweening sense Of ones own importance. But accepting the incarceration of the telegraph oper- atOrs. we find an apt description of the motives and misapprehension of many so-called reformers. That there is a great deal more sin in this world than there ought to be is admitted. but it is also agreed that there is not as much as dys- peptics think there is. Men are prone to impute their own afflictions to themselves for righteousness, and they imagine that they are thereby given a clearer vision of the wicked ness of their nelgnbors
 That MT. Glavis thought there was something wrong with the Cunning ham coal land deal We believe. and that throughout his effort to un- cover the wrong he was probably hon. est, though as President Taft stated in his letter to Mir. Ballinger last September, Glavis' suppression of srnacked of dishonesty, view of his conduct to which we believe the for mer chief of the field division has since taken no notice. But man, still accepting the error of the op- orators. whom imaginary sins has thrown into a state of melancholia may be excused if he fights an i'm aginary devil with fire. if he pursues a course as sinuous as the crime which he thinks he is about to ex pose. tt--
 Glavis has failed of the reward which IS the need or the righteous He may console himself with the re- flection that he will be appreciated some time-in heaven. for instance, where things will be different. Speak ing of the melancholia of Glavis, we recall the melancholic Swede who found the world in which there was 90 much happiness for others and so little for himself all awry. In the world to come there would be none of this boisterous and disturbing joy. He gave this expression to his senti- ments:
 -Seng on you birds
 An lowing herds,
 Seng till your troats ban dry.
 You quit your toots,
 You bet your boots.

ASKING FOR MORE FUNDS
Sheriff O. L. Bruner Makes an APP
peal to County Board.

Sheriff 0. L. Bruner appeared be-
fore the county board of supervisors
this morning and made a plea that
he be allowed an increase in the ap-
preparation for livery hire and also
in the amount available for feeding
the prisoners who are in his charge.
At present the board allows the sher-
if 80 cents q day per prisoner and
there is an appropriation Of $500
for livery hire. Sheriff Bruner ex-
planned that as the practice of serv-
ing summonses over the phone has
been ordered discontinued by the
court. it means that his bill for liv-
cry will be greatly increased. The
matter Of livery hire was referred
to the fees and salaries committee
with an order to investigate and re-
port back to the board. The other
matter. that of feeding the prison
ers was laid aside until future
date
