to-day means the loss outright of many

about $4,000 900 in developing the great

A PROPHECY FULFILLED.

During the past summer unknown Ameri-
can concern took over fve-years lease on the
old quarantine grounds at Baltimore Nd and
will establish there fedspar- potash factory
The company has an option on the renewal OF the
lease, or the purchase of Che grounds at the
expiration Of the period indicated This move
marks the first step in the beginning Of Il new
industry Of great significance the pX-
traction from common feldspar rocks of the pot
ash supplies for the fertilizer and explosives
Industries At present, the rocksat region
about Stassfmt, Germany. monopozes the sup
ply Of potash to the world
In the Mining World of March II, 1911. there
appeared an article entitled Can Germany S Pot
ash Monopoly BE Brokene' It was there point
ed out that the German potash monopoly through
the notorious action of the PlllsSian syndicate in
abrogating American contracts with the independ-
cnts, had materially encouraged the search for
sources of potash in country. 1t was
prophesed that the hgh-handed German methods
would ultimately make the United States. which
is the worlds leading consumer independent of
Germany, and that in the use of ground feldspar
from the enormous supplies available in America
and elsewhere, there lies a new sleeping giant
which will ultimately replace in the worlds mar
kets the use of Germany's potash salts
The chemical treatment Of potash-feldspar rock
for the extraction Of potash was at that time only
in the theoretc stage Several patents had been
issued to A. s. Cushman and others However no
attempt prior TO the present movement IN Bal
timore has ever been made to apply the theory on
a commercial scale unless we except the sale of
ground phonollte rock i'll Europe as potash fer
tilizer When it is realized that the United States
alone imports some %ll 100000 of potash salts an
nually, and that our consumption would be very
much greater could new processes slightly cheaper
the cost of potash, the Importance of the new
industry will be readily appreciated
The experiment at Baltimore will be watched
with good deal of interest AS first step if
would be rather exceptional to expect of it I'M
qualified success; but the experiences gained
whether successful not will be of value to-
ward future commercial endeavors in this field

AMERICAN CRAZE FOR AMUSEMENT.

The extent to which Americans have become AN
amusement-loyng people is illustrated by the
manysided competition the regular theaters are
compelled to meet This competition is infinitely
varied and is carried to am extent and into chan
nelS hardly appreciated. The motion picture shows
are only one phase of this competition In every
large city there are amusement parks containing
great number and variety of devices for amuse-
ment and entertainment In all these places music
vaudeville and singing are features. And the
cheapness of it all is wonderful
Yet the theaterS have multiplied notWith-
standing the picture shows and the amusement
parks. Hotel roof gardens furnish free music
amid pleasing and sensuouS surroundings. and
band concerts have become regular feature in
the dining rooms of the fashionable hotels The
high-clasS restaurants employ vaudeville and
music attractions. Some of them combine the
features. of the Partisan cafe chantant the Ger
man beer garden and the London music hall
Each diner is given free show with his meals
Ballet skirts and mermaid choruSes are appear
mg at the larger cafes in great numbers and the
result is that instead of leaving the great dining
rooms to visit the theaters after dinner the merry
makers merely make night of it in the cafe
dragging slowly through long-course dinner
and later ordering supper TO while away the
time not occupied by the yodlerS and grand opera
singers and Russian dancers.
Much Of the music and singing is highclass
Let IA new opera be put upon the boards and at
oil't llS lOSl lHlltlul NUMBERS ana catchy airs
Will be heard in all the cabaretS and muSic-hall
restaurants. Before the Merry Widow reached
New York the restaurant orcheStras in San
Francisco were playing the waltz that is known
by the name Of the opera 1t is the same with
every new song. With half dollar one can
visit half Il dozen picture shows in AN evening
and on Sunday can 90 out in the public parks and
listen to the very best of band music for nothing
let withal the regular theaters thrive. The
human interest in the plots worked out on the
stage, the virility and appeal of human action
enable them to survive in spite of the diversity
and abundance OF cheap competition Songs and
SnatcheS cannot supply the place of the comic

be supplied in such lavish abundance

FEDERAL INCORPORATION.

From his talk with members Of his cabinet and
with White House callers whose opinions and adj
vice are in the presidents Judgment well worth
listening to, it is reasonably clear that the first
formal message from the chief executive to the
SiXty-second congress will recommend legislation
follows:
Providing not only for the better government
Of Alaslla but also for the industrial, CONNER
cal and transportation development of our north
ermmost territorial possessions along lines already
laid down by the president several occasions,
both officially and informally; for tariff revision
on a scientific baslS-eSpecally if his tariff board s
exhaustive report shall be in hand in time for
thlS-but with no present assurance that he will
urge revision downward by this congress; for sup
Elementary provisions to the Sherman antitrust
law but not of sort that would emasculate it
or III any particular weaken 1t; and for the in
corporation by the federal government-that is
by congreSs-of companies to engage III inter
state business under national control, regulation
and direction The latter proposal has already
been formally made by the president although
not in detail and while at least two of the other
ookcd-for recommendations are matters at present
much more under public discussion than a federal
incorporation law, the latter if made will almost
inevitably become the livest issue before the
long session and the one with its outcome
the most in doubt.
1t is an essentially revolutionary proposal,
viewed from whatever standpoint There is moth
ing in the Constitution Of the United States EN-
poWcring the congress to enact such law, and
the right TO incorporate business organizations
has always since the formation of the federal
government been held to be strictly state prerog
ative and has been so exercised Under this
system the country has achieved the most won
derful industrial and commercial progress record
ed in the history Of the nations. and the most
conservative masses Of the American people may
be expected to be found mianty adverse to
abandoning it for and wholly untried
schemc-onc involving, too, alarming eXpan
sion Of federal paternalism. An imposing array
Of the ableSt constitutional lawyers will no doubt
rise up to oppose such legislation, and the states
rights contingent will be out in fighting trim
against it.
1t will be argued of course that the govern
ment chartering of the first Pacific railroads. the
national bank act and the incorporation Of the
original inter ocreanic canal company all present
preccdentS for federal incorporation--bu the an
will be made that these all provided for Sin
strumentalcs OF government, which the char
tering Of an interstate commerce corporation does
not. And in the end the issue will probably re-
solve itself into IA proposal for amending the
federal constitution to clothr congress with a
power that it now lacks.
In this way. one expected recommendation by
President Taft in his Forthcoming message opens
up one of the greatest constitutional questions
with which the country has dealt
