own ideas about the cause of the high
prices, and said;
There are many reasons given for
the increase In the cost of living during
the last ten years-the tariff-decreass
in the production of foodstuffs out or
proportion to the increase in populatlon
and the manipulations of the trusts.
All of these have their influence, but

Record Year for Gold.
+ fCleveIand Leader

All signs point to new records in
gold production thisIyear. The world
is practically sure of the greatest ad-
dition the mines, have ever made to
the stock OF gold available for the arts
and the financial mechanism of all
civilized nations.
The most productive of all gold
fields-the Witwatersrand district in
the Observation-Disclosures to increase
its great output. In August the yield
of the Transvaal fields was about slS,4
100000. which is at the rate Of more
than s165,000.0O0 year, or twlve as
much as the entire gold production of
the world was about 80 years ago.
Other important gold regions are
making a, fine showing this year, and
everything indicates that the. United,
States. including Alaska; Russia, with
Siberia; Canada and Mexico, will
make especially large contributions
to the gold stock OF the world. There
may be some decrease in the yield of
Australia. but 1t is likely to be Offset
by the gains in India. Japan and in
Africa, outside ofsthe Transvaal.

What's the Matter?
= g7I--Il'- - . = : - : ~

IA lFrom tine Buffalo = Expressly
In the old days, before the Spanish
War, when the regular Army of the
United States was limited to $4,000
men, the military reformers all used
to argue that its fault lay in its small.
ness. If the army were increased to
100000 men. 1t might then be. develop.
ed into an ideal establishment for the
purposes of the United States. The
source of the trouble lay entirely with
Congress, which would not make the
necessary authorizations and appro.
priations.
For some 10 years the authorized
strength Of the Army has been 100000,
men, though 1t has not actually reach
ed that figure, yet, judging by the re-
ports Of Inspector General CARING
ton and Major General Bell, the Army
Is suffering from the same faults as in
the days when 1t was limited to 25,.
900 men, and they may be somewhat
worse.
During most Of this time, 100, tn,
Army was commanded by a Lieuten-.
ant General, another step that was
going to insure thorough and efficient
organization. And there Is, also, a
general staff. Does the blame lie with
Congress or within the Army itself?
Has not the Army fallen under the
blight of a too conservative bureau
cratic system? -

THE BATTLE
- WAS HOTTEST

More than in Kansas, more than In
iowa, more than in California, more
than In any other State, the victory OF
The progressives in Wisconsin is a
victory for the whole country. Wis.
consin is the pioneer progressive
State; La Toilette is the pioneer pro.
gressive Senator. Wisconsin's steady
progress toward popular government
has long been an inspiration to other
States, striving for freedom. La Fol-
lette's protests against the rule of
Big Business in Congress caught the
ear of the country-and held 1t. So
the Interests determined, above all
else, to defeat La Toilette. They made
Wisconsin the central battle-ground of
the campaign. And, realizing this,
the leading men OF, the progressive
movement in the nation came to help
Wisconsin and La Toilette.
These are the leaders who came:
Senator Moses e. Clapp, Of Minnesota;
Judge Ben B. Kinsey, OF Denver; SEN
ator Joseph L. Bristow, of Kansas;
Hon. George l., Record, OF New Jer.
sey; Senator Albert B. Cummins, of
Iowa; Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver,
OF Iowa; Francis ]. Heney, Of San
Francisco; Congressman George w.
Norris, OF Nebraska; Senator William
E. Borah, OF Idaho; James Manahan
and James A. Peterson, of Minneapo.
lis; former Secretary of the Interior
James A. Garfield, and former United
States Forester Clifford Pinchot.
These thirteen leaders made los
speeches and covered Al counties:
They came voluntarily. The paid their
own expenses. They suffered physical
discomfort and the exhaustion that
follows a hard speaking campaign.
They did 1t because they said It was
vital to the progressive movement
throughout the nation that Wisconsin
remain true to her colors and that
La Toilette be kept out on the firing
line. And so the magnificent victory
of,September 6 is In reality a triumph
for the progressive cause everywhere.
