THE Lure OF GOLD

Give man five dollars in green
backs and he will, in all probability
stick it in his pocket observes a
writer in the Salt Lake Mining
Review. The same amount in silver
he will carelessly thrust jingling
into his pants pockets. But hand
him five-dollar gold piece and he
will carefully hide it away some
where. The flow of gold be it
scarce or plentiful affects the
financial condition of nations.
Civilization is based on this metal.
Take it away from any class of
people and they descend to almost
a barbaric state. Increase its
circulation and the country in which
it passes freely from hand to hand
becomes prosperous and higher
ideals prevail. Great enterprises
are undertaken and an increased
income enables the laboring classes
to indulge in luxuries where be-
fore, it was difficult to secure the
necessities of life.
Gold is what the classes, the
masses, are striving for. Men
work and fight for it, and often risk
life for it. Many may not be aware
of this fact: but when all is said
and done, when the sum total of
existence is tabulated and trans
cribed to the ledger, it is found
that the conscious or unconscious
aim of every individual is to ac-
quire gold, or something represent
ing gold value, for gold is the
measure of all values.
1t is no wonder then that when
gold is mentioned, the most thou ght-
less pay attention, for the world
thrills with them; and the mere
report that gold has been discovered
in this or that locality is only
equalled by a run on bank, where
one has gold stored.
In gold there is no fuctuation,
for gold is always par. No matter
how the quotations on the prices of
other metals may f1uctuate, an
ounce of gold never changes in
intrinsic value, and that is one of
the reasons why gold mining D., is so
popular, interest in the production
of silver, lead and copper may touch
the topmost pinnacle, and then ebb
to the lowest point; but not so
with gold, and for this reason it is
never possible to wholly dampen
the enthusiasm associated with
mining for gold.
The lure of gold is lure to ALL.
Because it is 80 precious it must
therefore be difficult to obtain, and
this adds. zest in the search for it.
And this is why men endure
harships, trials, and risk their
lives in the mountain ranges and
canyons; for it is here that nature
has stored her . treasures for the
hardest of her, children to find.

evidence: Even the clearest and
most perfect circumstantial evidence
is likely to be at fault, after all,
and therefore should be received
with great caution. Take the

of the pencil you will say she did it

cheap Lime Tor our Farmers.

Editor Of The Times-DiSpatch:
Sir.-No wonder the farmers of the
State are beginning to sit UP and take
interest in the limestone bill" now
before the Finance Committee. of the
House. 1t is the only solution of the
lime problem that the farmers have
seen In the history Of agriculture in
Eastern and Middle Virginia. No
graver problem than this has arisen
in the career of all who aspire to i'm
prove the products OF the soil and adj
vance the agricultural development of
the State.
Unlike the soils of Southwest Virginia
and the Valley, those east of the Blue
tidge have acid conditions that need
to be corrected or sweetened by the
application of lime. 1t is tho absence
Of lime, that keeps back the agricul-
turnl development OF Piedmont and
Middle Virginia. The need Of lime is
too elementary proposition to be dis
cussed. In the heart of hearts of the
farmers 1T Is an axiom. All farmers
recognize that great need, and they
are hopeless In the face Of the prices
that the makers and sellers put on
lime. Lime Is not now used to any
great extent. This is due solely to
the we'll nigh universal inability of
the farmers to pay the prices imposed
by makers and dealers. But for pro-
hibitory prices, lime would be generals
ly used, Is not this fact a sufficient
answer to the opposition to the bill
urged by makers and those who fix

YOUNG BLOOD ON THE BRIDGE.

Give the naval officers their chapeaux
and gold braid while they are able to
wear it, says President Taft in his
special message. DO not keep an Of
ficer in command of single battle-
ship or cruiser until he is too old to
perform staff duty If the Officers are
well trained, let them be put in an
thorltN while they may be useful.
In making this suggestion the Presi-
dent has put his pen on one of the
| worst features of our naval service
the subordination of young, useful men
and the prolonged command of tho
elders. As the ladder stands now. the
steps arc so long between the rounds
that an officer is often ready tn be rc-
tired before he is placed on staff duty,
His experience is lost to the country.
The spectacle of the world circling At
lantic fleet changing officers at almost
every station Is case in point. The
man who commands Is old ere he takes
his post, and as his active service is
months, he hardly has II fair opportun-
ity to improve tho esprit de corps of
the service.
It is easy to see how the substitu-
tion of younger men would benefit the
navy, If, as the President suggests, a
competent captain is promoted to rear
admiral before he is fifty lve. he viii
still be in his prime and will have al
most ten years of service before his
retirement During this time, if he
has force and vigor he will be ablo TO
DO real service to his country. and
when he ret!res he will leave his i'm
print on the fleet he commanded.

young man for war is proverb we'll

Prospects of Income Tax Are Gloomy

Alabama sanctioned the proposition

latures have been in session since
the matter was referred to the States
during the extra session of Congress
last July. One branch of the Illinois
Legislature has ratified it, and the
ether branch may also do it. AS many
Legislatures are in session now. there
is a possibility that several of them
may follow the Alabama and South

The proposition has hard road ahead

Congress want to withdraw the reso-

Governor Hughes objected to the
erty on which the States now obtain
a large part of their revenue. AS this
objection lies against almost any kind
OF a Federal income tax, those who
would oppose it on this account would
be likely to be against it in any shape
which 1t can take.
The present prospect is that the
proposition will fail. During the Civil
War the income tax was submitted
to because of the fact that the life
of the government was at stake. 1t
needed money to suppress the rebels,
and 1t reached out in every direction
to get such money as 1t could obtain.
Soon after the rebellion was put down,
protests against the tax poured in on
Congress so fast that 1T repealed the
impost. When the Democrats put an
income tax rider on their Wilson-Gor

nullified it before it was on the books

We hope President Taft's plan will
carry, especially since it stipulates that
the retired pay Of the future admirals
is to be dependent upon the length Of
their service In command. There will
