ent worry owe the world S coal. iron.

zOo years the reasonable probability
IS that new aceessions to our fuel and

SONS VIII increase not only as fast as
the rate of consumption, but faster.
Those who have followed the devel-
opments of the mineral industries
during the past 40 years know that In
the country's and the worlds lead
ing mining districts the once star
producers-be they among the coal
felds silver. lead, zinc. copper, iron
ore, gold, phosphate rock or other
mining areas-all have been forced
TO the rear, not because of exhaus-
ton, but are continually being dis
covered or developed elsewhere.
These are the conditions which. 1t
now seems apparent, will continue
for at least 100 years longer; for an
additional 100 years or more, new
discoveries of lesser Importance and
new developments In known fields
will continue to increase the mineral
reserves.
That is why, for the next 200 years
at least. the worlds fuel, metal and
mineral supplies, instead of being ex-
hausted, or approaching exhaustion.
will continue to increase in amount
and cheapness. Conservation of the
agitators is a bugaboo, pure and
simple; at least insofar as it supposes
any possible exhaustion, of the ma
lions coal or iron supplies in the
mex ensuing couple of centuries.
Instead of consuming the patrimony
of our unborn descendants by our

VICTOR BERGER ON INSURGENCY

Victor Berger, the socialist MEM
Der of congress from Milwaukee. is
a ''sarkastick cuss,' as Artemas
Ward would say. After seeing the
insurgents in their variety during a
session of congress he thus des-
cribes them: An insurgent is so
per cent of old disgruntled politician.
80 per cent clear hypocricy. 9 per
cent nothing and l per cent social
ism. Put in a bottle and shaken
we'll before using and you have a So
called progressive"
Again in speaking of the self
styled progressives. Mr.. Berger says:
"The insurgent is neither a repub-
lican nor a democrat, and he is not
a socialist, though he likes to firt
with socialistic doctrines to catch So
cialist votes. The insurgents are
everything in halves and nothing
whole. They are real half-breeds.
They satisfy neither the capitalist
nor the working class"
This is an outside view. and We
give it for what 1t is worth. We
suspect that Mr.. Berger gained some

siderably below Fortunes average.

AMERICANS ARE USING LESS
LIQUOR THAN FORMERLY.

There is nothing surprising in Gen.
eral Grants statement that both the
officers and enlisted men in the army
are constantly growing more temper
ate in the use of intoxicating liquors.
The same statement could be made
of almost every class of men. If not
quite of every class. The proof that
in this country men are becoming
more temperate in the use of liquors
is abundant and conclusive.
1t has been fequently asserted that
the women of this day drink more
Intoxicating liquors thar did those of
ten or twenty years ago; but wheth-
er that is true or not, the fact is quite
contrariwise as to the men. MOI
only is the use of liquor among those
who used 1t at all more moderate
than it used Il be, but the number
Ol lOtdi dDSldlueiS 10 inCiSdSSu OOth
absolutely and relatively.
Drunkenness is become rarer than
it used to be, and what Is more, and
probably one of the causes of that
fact, drunkenness incurs a heavier
social and economic penalty than 1t
used to. A good many men who,
twenty years ago. were inclined to
regard a spree as merely a vent
ing of manly vigor, and therefore fit
to excite only feelings of amusement,
II not indeed of admiration, now look
on drunkenness as beastly. The
point of view has been changed and
elevated.
Many causes have been co%ntribut-
ed to produce this effect. The chief
of them probably is the growing in
sistence on the part of business men
on the sobriety of their employees.
Where drunkenness brings certain
dismissal and even a habit Of using
liquors puts an employe under dis
trust, there is a very compelling
argument. not merely for habits of
sobriety, but for total abstinence.
Doubtless, too, this growth In So
briefly is due in large measure to the
growth of the average intelligence.
which enables men to appreciate both
the demoralizing consequences OF
drinking, the impairment of eff
cheney and ruin of health which ii
causes as well as the utter futility
and banality of it..
II the economic and social forces
that are working silently to make the
race more temperate in the use of
liquor were adequately supplement-
ed by precept and example both in the
home and in the school, the next gen.
Grafton, or at most the one succeed
ing that, would number so many
teetotalers and so few drunkards as
to make the work of trying to put the
saloons out of business considerably
supererogatory.
At all events, those who believe in
prohibition as a temperance measure
need not be idle for the lack of a
campaign. They can make in "off
years. a use of their energies that is
likely to prove just as effective in the
cause of temperance as the energies
which they spend in the promotion of
their campaingn.
