interesting to note the comments from
the newspapers concerning the situation,
Here, for instance, is comment by the
New York Evening Sun;
"The city is stirred to its depths. II
is resolved to go after the facts, the
whole facts. and not to be turned back
until the last protector of vice has been
punished. 1t stands staunchly behind its
district attorney. whose energy and cour.
age have made the revelation of the truth
possible. All this was made plain for all
to read in last nights splendid meeting.
In addition. the meeting will 90 far to
end the myth that New York is lacking
in pride, in civic spirit. A lot Of factors
have produced that apesranee--the very
hugeness of the city, for one thing.
1--WE have always felt that, TO the con
trary, New Workers at bottom cared as
much for their city as the residents of
any other town. It needed crisis in
the city's welfare to bring this feeling to
the surface. And it needed good, old
fashioned town meeting like last nights
to give the feeling expression.
1T remains for every citizen, high and
low, to lend hand and prove that last
nights fine display of loyalty is backed
by high resolve and steady, unfaltering
purpose"
That New York is still city of soul
and that its people retain the spirit Of
the old days will be pleasing information
to those outside who have followed the
progress OF affairs in the metropolis
with considerable concern. That the
solid, substantial people of the city stifl

that have been felt for some time. May

CALIFORNIA SOLE PRODUCER.
Output of Magnesite in 1911 Less Than
in Preceding Year.


! The opening of the Panama Canal may
mean an important increase in the
magnesite production Of the country.
The consequent reduction in freight
rates should mean increased markets in
the United States for this mineral. At
present the average value Of the Cali
tfornia magnesite at the mines is esti-
mated at SIS short ton, but the prin-
cipal markets of the eastern United
States and the Missippi valley are sup
piled by importation; in spite of the
recognized high grade of our own mag
nestle and material in California. I'm
ported magnesite is quoted at $40 to
Sll per long ton equivalent to about
so to $40 per short tom for the raw and
$50 to $35 per long ton for the calcned
and powdered product at New York. 1t
| is thus evident that it is the present
railroad transportation rates that put
the California magnesite at disadvan-
tage and restrict its use practically to
| the state.
| The production Of magnesite fell off in
1911, according to the United States geo
logical survey. the output being a,375
short tons, valued at $4,000 against
l2,443 tons, valued at 1858 in 1910.
Interest in the California majestic is be-
ing somewhat revived, in anticipation,
doubtless of the advantages to be de-
rived from the opening of the Panama
Canal
The imports In 1911 amounted to
l22,075 short tons OF calcined and H.
9l4 short tons OF crude magnesite, not
including the refined magnesia salts used
for medicinal and other purposes.
Magnesite is employed for digesting
and whitening woodpulp paper, for re-
fractory brick, shapes, crucibles. and FUR
mace hearths; in the manufacture Of car
donated waters; for medicinal and toilet
purposes; as pipe covering, when mixed
with asbestos; as an absorbent in the
manufacture of dynamite; for making
dement's as an adulterant in paints aud
TO prevent scale in boilers in which sul-
phurous waters are used.
II is also recommended for use as a
waterproof paint for coating wood or
fabric, for manufacturing artificial mar
Bile and fine tiles. and as binder for
coal briquets. At present 1t is reported
that the use of magnesia for the manu-
facture of carbon dioxide on the Pacific
coast has been given up, as lime has
been found to be cheaper. The greater
part Of the California magnesite is still
used in the manufacture of paper.

"TowN MEETINe IN NEW YORK.

TOWN MEETIN'" IN NEW YORK
The good old scheme of ''town meetin'
had its vindication again, when the citi.
gems of the greatest city on the continent
resorted to it in order to know the rea.
son why their affairs in the police de-
apartment were not being run as they
should be run. OF course, it was not
really town meeting in the sense that
Vermont towns are accustomed 20, be-
cause it would be impossible to get to-
eether any but very small percentage
of the voting population of great city
like New York, but it was similar in the
sense that it drew people from all walks
of life and various beliefs to give them
a chance for clearinghouse of ideas,
much as the town meeting does in the
small communities of the country dis.
tricts. BY it we are shown that when
men are really in earnest and are greatly
stirred they come down to first principles
of government; they take matters into
their own hands.
Just what will develop from the meet
ing of citizens is uncertain; but it is
