ment, exercised item by item. To
some not accustomed to the excite

heroic, but remedies may be heroic

country great service in more mat
ters than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods
should be thorough, as thorough as
moderate and well considered, based
upon the facts as they are, and not
worked out as if we were beginners.
We are to deal with the facts of our
own day, with the facts of no other,
and to make laws which square with
those facts. It is best, indeed it
is necessary, to begin with the tar
if. I will urge nothing upon you
now at the opening of your session
which can obscure that first object
Or divert our energies from that
clearly defined duty. At later time
I may take the liberty of calling your
attention to reforms which should
press close upon the heels of the tar
if changes, if not accompany them,
If which the chief is the reform OF
our banking and currency laws;
but just now I refrain. For the pres

Of the changes in our fiscal system

From Sleep Into Death.

The narcotic bullet has been IN
vented. The bullet that is to send
the soldier through slumber into the
great beyond; to put the burglar TO
sleep until the patrol wagon arrives,
to duee the royal Bengal tiger ana
make him as harmless as droWsy
Kitten: to end the charge OF the
white rhinosceros in a snore. Hunt
ing is to be made humane. War will
become a pleasure, and death upon
the battlefield positive delight.
Says Mr.. Kennedy, the inventor,
In an article for the Technical World
Magazine:
"The soldier, receiving a slight
flesh wound from the new bullet,
fights no more that day; he calmly
stretches himself on the ground and
goes 20 sleep. The man receiving
a serious wound suffers no agony,
as the narcotic from the bullet is
absorbed by his system and he is
iinaEensihleE to main before he reaches
the hospital. The man whose wound
is mortal sleeps away his last hours,
thus doing away with most of the
battlefield horror. The fleeing bur
glar is shot in the arm, runs for
ward d short distance, stretches him
self ON the sidewalk, and all the
policeman has to do is summon an
ambulance and haul him away The
bigrgame hunters will feel no fear
of a counterstroke from wounded
tiger, lion or grizzly bear. Although
hill 4t, h1,+ eli rhf
wound, the game is as good as
bagged, once It, is struck"
At last grim.visaged war hath
smoothed his wrinkled trent! The
11ague peace conference should adj
iourn sine die. Hereafter it will be
more agreeable to beard the enemy
in his fortification and court the
pleasure of being fairly riddled with
doses Of morphine than to struggle Oh
in the hopeless effort to make a
moderate income meet necessary ex-
penditures. At last the problem of
cutting down the population without
Irritating those who are cut down
will be effected in manner that
would have delighted Nautilus
And will it not be possible to arm
the front elevation of the automo-
bile with spears loaded with dope
as the Kennedy bullets are loaded,
SO that the pedestrian who Is over
taken In 1nidair as he makes frog
like leap for the curling will be
anaesthetized automatically, SO that
if he chances to be living when he IS
picked up he will be perfectly COM
Portable and will not miss the arms

Sugar the Modern Apple Of Dlscord

These be parlous times for the
cane sugar Industry Of Louisiana
and the beet sugar industry of The
west. 1t is proposed to put sugar
On the free list within three years.
This Is a mistake. For thirty years
the constant agitation of the tariff
and the fear Of the removal of the
sugar duty have made impossible the
normal development Of that industry.
70 remove the duty would seem to
be to destroy the industry: for, in
the open, the United States cannot
compete with Cuba. Mexico aud
other tropical countries. It is uns
Just, because it means the destruc-
ton of private property merely to
appease a demagogic clamor. It is
unwise, because it means the giving
over to foreign countries and the
American sugar trust absolute con-
troll of Aniarica's5 sugar supply, and
it is impolitic because of the disas-
trous effect such action win pro-
duce upon the political situation in
the United States. And in addition
to all this, for the reasons set forth
above. it will mast probably increase
the cost of sugar to the American
consumer.-Country Review.

Resources of Southern States.

An impressive exhibit Of the min
eraI resources of the sixteen south
ern states whose industries are III
Guided in the exhibit of the South
ern Commercial Congress is seen in
large wall map which has just been
Epecia11y compiled by the United
States Geological Survey for the use
IF the congress. The minerals of the
several areas are shown on the map
IN appropriate colors and tints, some
II wbich are of course superimDosed
on others.
Coal is the premier mineral re-
source Of the southern states. The
map shows large areas of workable
bituminous coal in Maryland, Virgin
ia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Texas, and smaller
areas in Georgia and North Carolina.
The Geological Surveys estimate of
the original tonnage lin the ground)
of the southern coal fields is 613,-1
537 100000 short tons; the total pro-
duction to Jan. /, 1912, was 1924
537,268 tons. The area of the south
ern coal fields containing workable
Goals" is shown as 104, 500 square
miles, and that which may contain
workable Goals rs 146,700 square
miles additional.
The area1 distribution of Oil and
natural gas as shown on the map is
very inconspicuous compared with
the great coal areas. The value OF
the oil and natural gas produced in
1911 was, however, nearly three
fourths that of the coal produced in
the same year. The value Of the
coal produced in 1911 was $124, 000,-
0o0; that Of oil and gas was $S9,Oo0,-
900.
Clay products of the southern states
In 1911 amounted to more than $685.
100000, and the Geological Survey is
authority for the statement that the
southern deposits probably exceed in
area and volume those of any other
portion of the United States Of the
same size.
The lead and zinc produced in the
southern states in 1911 was valued at
$16.614, $50 The stone was valued
at s14,276,163 and is shown on the
map to be we'll distributed. The pro-
duction of phosphate is. essentially a
southern industry, and the value OF
the output in 1911 was $11, 860,811.
OF iron-ore deposits, large areas
are indicated on the map in Missouri:
Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, West
Virginia and North Carolina, and
smaller bodies In Maryland, Alaba-
ma, Texas, South Carolina and Geor-
gia. The output from the ten pro-
ducing southern states in 1911 was
valued at s7,379,267 An estimate of
the available iron-ore reserves in
the southern states by c. Willard
Hayes, formerly chief geologist of
the United States Geological Survey,
places it at 500,000,00o long tons, to-
gether with a much larger quantity
of low-grade ore. Copper is pro-
duced in seven of the southern states;
the vs11uie e ef the a1 output was 81
455,363.
This large map shows % mineral
deposits of the southern states, the
annual output of which is valued at
81, 900, 900 or less.
