Each year since 1903 The journal of the
American Medical Association has been waging
propaganda against the nsensate manning and
death-dealing methods of celebrating our indepen-
dence holiday. II has gathered and colated the
indubitable facts; and the lay press magazines
and newspapers--have seconded its endeavors so
that an almost revolutionary change has been TAX
ing place.
Il is gratifying to observe that more and more
the constituted authorities have recognized that it
is their duty to prevent the burning and the Grip
ping of children and their death from Iockiaw by
prohibiting the sale of fireworks and like destruc,
tive agencies. Official appreciation of this fact is
evidenced by the enactment and enforcement of
appropriate ordinances. Many officials have in
the most salutary way cooperated with non-gov-
ornamental agencies interested in the safe and sane
Fourth Legislation against fireworks has been
restrictive or prohibitive. The latter, of course,
gives the best results
In European countries occasions akin to our
independence Dry are commemorated by means OF
fetes and other picturesque ceremonies, quite adj
equately, just as heartily and with as much patri-
otto fervor as among us. Continental peoples have

Bryan has again demonstrated his dominance
of the Democratic party. He may be erratic in
some ways, and at times rather too severe, but it
can not be said that he is not sincere or that he is
often wrong in his views, His popularity in the
Baltimore convention clearly Indicated that he
could have had the nomination for president had
he requested it, Wilson owes his nomination
to Bryan. Without Bryan's support he would
have been badly beaten by Champ Clark.

THE WORLDS CURSE
Is MALITIARISM

The millions of dollars spent
for maintaining the armies of
the world would almost elimi-
nate the question of pauperism
and want if it were to be applied
to peaceful purposes.
A we'll known writer has said:
"Give me the money that has
been spent in war and | will pur-
chase every foot Of land upon the
globe; | will clothe every man,
woman and child in an attire of
which kings and queens will be
proud; will build a schoolhouse
on every hillside and in every
valley over the whole earth; /
will build an academy in every
town and endow it, a college in
every state and fill it with able
professors; | will crown every
hill with place of worship con-
secrated to the gospel of peace;
| will support in every pulpit an
able teacher of Righteousness, so
that on every Sabbath the chimes
on every hill will anwser the
chimes on another around the
world"
Just as there is a higher law
than the constitution, so there is
a greater force than armies, nav
les and machine guns. 1t is the
force of individual physical dis
cipIine commingled with the
force of mind.
This was demonstrated in a
recent war.
Russia as a nation is centuries
older than Japan. She was build
ing mosques and temples for the
Greek church when Japan was
worshiping the sun and closing
her ports to the civilized world.
Russia has greater popula-
tion by $4,000, 600 than Japan,
yet there are in Japan 200.00
more children attending school
than in the whole empire of
Russia.
The victory of the little brown
men was the triumph of the spell
ling book over ignorance, the
efficacy of mathematical pre-
ciSion over brute force.
If the spelling book behind
the gun could defeat the arms of
all the Russians, the press of the
American nation behind the
problem of peace can solve it to
the everlasting glory of man
kind.
The total annual military ex-
penditures of the world approx
innate 50, $50, 600, 900.
This is enough money to send
4, 500,00 boys to college one
year.
This annual budget for carry
ing on war is sufficient to pay all
the expenses of all the boys and
girls who have graduated in all
the colleges of the world since
time began. 1t would support
all the working people in New
York, Philadelphia and Cleve-
land for one year.

States senate may bubble over

Wisconsin University First to
Go ia ppooIc

That the University of Wisconsin was
the first university in the country to
attempt to take knowledge to all the
citizens of the state through the estab
lishment of an extension division, IL nm
important fact brought out in the No
vember number Of the Wisconsin
Alumni Magazine, which came from
prr's this week. Before this step was
taken by Wisconsin, it was considered
uud xnihed for college to make any
effort to instruct any but the students
who came to it. Now there are ri
state institutions as well as a number
of privately endowed schools like Har
ward university. that are attempting to
give every citizen chance to become
better educated, by means of CORES
pondence study courses, travelling
package libraries. and other methods of
extension service,
AS many students are now taking
studies by correspondence through the
University of Wisconsin extension divi-
sion IA are enrolled in the regular uni
versity classes. A total of 415 formal
courses in 30 different departments are
offered.
To facilitate the work of the extern
sion division five branch stations have
been established in Milwaukee. Osh
kosh La Crosse, Superior, and Wausau
In this way many persons are reached
who otherwise would be too far remov-
ed TO come into close touch with the
extension work,

ZINC BREAKS RECORD
Domestic Production and Exports
Show Good Increase in 1911.
Imports Diminish.

The production of primary spelter
zinc from domestic ore in 1911 was
271 .621 short tons, valned at $50 1854, 794, ,
according to statement just issued by
the United States Geological Survey.
This is the greatest production in the
history of the industry and shows an
increase of 10, JAP tons over 1910. The
imports of spelter, however, reached the
lowest figures in recent years, while ex
ports increased about one-half over
those Of 1910
The report on zinc, compiled by G. E.
Siebenthal and issued as an advance
chapter from Mineral Resources for
1911, includes full discussion of the
production and price of domestic zinc,
by states and districts, as we'll as of the
zinc industry in foreign countries.

plication to the Director Of the Geolog-

thai in January, 1912, which is now
shown to be within 0.5 per cent of the
