The Iron Market

The local iron market has been duh
for some time, and it has been feature
less this week. Matthew Addy e Co.'s
Cincinnati report just issued says that
iron masters are beginning to he more
hopeful" After referring to the recent
unsatisfactory condition of the market the
report goes on to say:
But the developments of the week in
dicate that there is still strength in the
market and that iron is being consumed
apparently in normal quantities. In the
first place, there has been some good buy
ing and at the prevailing prices. Buyers
have not been able to find sellers who
were offering a premium for the privilege
of supplying their demands. In the sec
ond place, there has been a hurry call
for shipments.
Consumers are watching the market
with care. So far but little 1914 iron has
been purchased, and it is evident that
there can be no lower quotations unless
the furnaces are willing to contract at
prices which inevitably mean heavy losses,
or unless there is wholesale readjust-
ment of wages. That is impossible. The
cost of living is a. stone wall in the way
of any such programme. Wages make up
about 80 per cent of the cost of iron and
for years there has been a steady in
crease in the cost of labor.

THE RIFLE MICROMETER

From outing.
The modern rfieman does not trust his
hand and eye to make the delicate ad-
justments in elevation on his sights. Such
methods would be entirely too inaccurate
for the present high standard of shoot
ing, for the eye cannot see an adjustment
finer than about .01 of an inch, and the
hand bungles this rough adjustment into
still greater error. Instead a little in
strument called a micrometer sight ad-
juster is used. This instrument adjusts
and records movement of 1-150th of an
inch which are called minutes The
changing of the elevation one minute
causes the shot to strike higher or lower
on the target l inch for every 100 yards
of range; that is inches at 200 yards,
inches at 600 yards, and so on. Thus
the rifeman is able to adjust his rifle
to inches on the target, and If he is
shooting, say, II inches low at 600 yards
he merely raises his elevation minutes
and he will then shoot into the center of
the bull So convenient is this, and so
much more accurate than the hand and
eye method that it is practically uni
versally used at all ranges of 500 yards
and over, and rifiemen no longer speak
of so many yards elevation, but of SO
many minutes.

HANGING A WOMAN
New York World.

From the New York world.
The Connecticut woman suffragist who
protests against the movement to secure a
pardon for Mrs. Wakefield, sentenced to
be hanged for numbering her husband, is
made of Steiner stuff than most of her
sex, and than most men, too. She has
the strength of mind to regard only the
fact of the hideous crime committed and
the extreme penalty held to be just in the
eyes of the law, and to leave aside the
question of the murderers sex.
The average person is filed with horror
at the thought of a woman being hanged,
while accepting as matter of course
that the law should claim the life of the
male criminal guilty of murder. When
ever a case arises like that of Mrs.
Wakefield, it is made the occasion for an
outbreak of false sentiment in whicn
every circumstance but one-that
woman is to be put to death-is over
looked.
People do not rebel because murderers
are made to feel the hangmans knot.
They do dot demand the abolition of cap
ital punishment as a survival of barbar-
ism. They clamor that the law be sus-
pended for the sole reason that the mur-
derer happens to be a woman.
The law should take it's course in Mrs.
crime under the Connecticut law, and the
law recognizes no exceptions for the BEN
eft of wives who kill their husbands.

And slowly touch the yielding keys,
Till the whole world should see the sheen
Of Rocky river through the trees;
See the slate cliffs l used to know,
And see the spider webby span
or the bridge l knew long ago,
Away back where my life began.
I'd love to take the world with me
Across my white typewriter keys,
Until the whole wide world should see
The things / see, feel the same breeze
Upon it's cheek; should go and wade
With me across the shallow ford,
And climb the cliffs face unafrad,
And drink with me from the old gourd.
The keys are unresponsive things!
They never quite interpret right
The songs that's in ones heart and sings
Its throbbing notes out to the night;
The song of youth and gladstone days,
The song of blossomed slopes and bees
The song of sumach bordered ways,
And forest glades and shady trees.
They never cap quite make the world
See the rare color in the air
As IL the sunset banners furled
Had lost their sweetest color there;
A color red as sweetheart lipsl
: A color holding all the gold
OF truant locks; pink as the tips
OF little fingers known of old
Let my stiff fingers stray across
The ivory faces as they may

/ cannot make the roses sway

The way I'd like the world to know,
Or the whole world would sing with me
Sweet love songs Of the long. aso.

Regular Army Efficiency

Nearly every new Secretary of War
m taking up his work desires to do
something for the betterment of the
service. Elihu Root as Secretary of
War reorganized the army and estab-
lished the present staff system. His
work was the most radical undertaken
in the department since the war. The
change made for efficiency and was
approved by most of the higher Of
ficers.
Secretary Garrison started on a
tour of inspection of the governments
military posts soon after he entered
upon his duties, and having familiar
lied himself in general way with
the army, he has signified his inten-
tion of asking for legislation that will
further increase the efficiency of the
regulars. He i'avors the concentration
of the army at few points and the
closing of scores of posts now garri-
soned by small bodies of men. He
probably would have had his concen-
tration plan worked out before now
but for the fact that large bodies of
soldiers have been modified on the
Mexican border ready for any emer-
gency. About twenty thousand regu-
lars are now assembled together in
Texas and are thoroughly organized
on war footing.
1t is sincerely hoped that President
Wilson's peace policy will continue to
prevail. No right minded man wants
war, if the United States can keep
out of it with honor; but the mobiliz-
ing of troops near Mexico has enabled
colonels and general officers to gain
experience in commanding full regi-
ments and brigades that they could
never gain when the regular army was
all scattered. The higher officers are
now having the very sort of expert
ence that was to be afforded them by
