if the miner producing countries be
added, it is probable that the worlds
total outnut in 1912 was about 152.-
00c. c.00G tons. The worlds output in
1911 was about 5 per cent below that
of 1910, but the figures so far avail
able indicate that the output in 1912
was more than per cert above that
cf 1910. The principal producers
were the United States, Germany,
France, the United Kingdom, and
Spain, in the order given, these
countries producing about six-sev-
enths of TIE total output of the
world.
The quantity of pig iron produced
in the world in 1912 may be esti-
mated at 100000 tons, the princi-
pal countries of production being the
United States, Germany, and the

which together account for about

there is no justification for the secret

1t is not to the interest of the pub

Of the public, it will, as a rule, bear
the test of the light of day.
The country has heard a lot about
"pitiless publicity" But is a long
way from getting it. When the day
comes that real publicity will be OBJ
served rigidly in the departments of
the Government, from the Chief Ex-
ecutive down to the humblest divi-
sion chief, and sessions of commit
tees and of the Senate are held in
the open, then it will do to take the
phrase "pitiless publicity" seriously.
One thing, however, is certain.
The sentiment for stripping the
public's business OF its veil is grow
ing rapidly among the people. And
it is a safe conjecture that the Sena-
tors who on Tuesday voted to
keep the .prblic's business hidden will
have some explaining to do. They

IRON AND STEEL PRO-
DUCTION.

ConservationiStS will examine with

iron ore resources of the world pre-
sented at the Eleventh International
Geological Congress ct Stockholm.
1t has attracted. ohe notice of the
British board OF trade in its return
on iron and steel. It was estimated
that the total actual resources of
iron ore existing ir deposits that can
at present be worked at an economic
pro!t amount to 81 los. .000, 900 long
tons, representing 1912, ,000, 600 tons
IF iron. This total would supply the
requirements OF the world for con-
siderably less thar two centuries,
even were the present rate of out
put not exceeded on the average. The
actual resources OF the principal ore
producing countries are estimated to
be, in the United States, -l.358 ,000,-

equal to 555,OOO,0J0 tons of metal;
in France. 3,3OO,ouO.0C0 tons, equal
to 1,1AO, 900, 900 tons of metal; and in
Spain, 100000 tons, equal to
349 100000 tons of metal.
In addition to these quantities,
which are stated in the report to ex-
list in present workings, the poten-
tial resources of the world not yet
developed are estimated to amount to

senting 1886, 100000 tons of iron.

REDUCING THE MAXIXE
TO CERTAINTY.

Now that the dancing masters of
the city have thrown their aggregate
wisdom into one hat and solemnly
passed laws and regulations govern
ing the tango, the maxixe, and the
hesitation, 2 great sigh of relief will
we'll Up from the unskillful MA iur-
lty. Heretofore it has been dis
tressed, not to say embarrassed. by
professional differences Of opinion
and resulting amateur differences of
execution, Of which these tcrpsi-
'horean novelties have furnished the
basis.
How doth it profit a man to de-
vote his time and substance to the
acquisition of these graces, Only to
find that his partner has sat, or
rather pranced, at the feet of an
other Gamaliel, and that their eff
forts to dance together are filled
with uncertainty. disagreement. and
the destruction of costly rainent?
Heretofore the ways of dancing

come matter far too serious to be

THE NEW JERSEY RESULT.

The overwhelming defeat of
James ]. O'Byrne, Democratic can
oldate for the House of Representa-
t'ves, in the special election in the
Seventh New Jersey district, and the
election of Dow H. Drr:kker, Repub-
ncan, by a plurality of over 5000
votes, is a result So striking that it
Is impossible to overlook it.
1t may be said by Democratic
leaders that it was expected, but the
country will construe it as a blow
at the Administration. When it is
recalled that this occurred in the
Presidents own State, and that the
appeal was made 20 the voters by
prominent speakers to stand by the
President, the outcome gains all the
more of acute interest.
Nor will it escape notice that
Drukkcr devoted his chief energies
to assailing the bill FOR the repeal
of free tolls through the Panama
canal and to attacks on the Demo-
cratic tariff policy.
BY no means the least remarkable
phase of this election is the strength
developed hy the Socialists. Demar-
est, the Socialist candidate, was only
ls7 votes behind O'Byrne, the Demo-
cratic candidate. Dcmarest, like
Drukker, attacked the Administra-
tlon's Panama canal policy bitterly.
Some highly important facts stick
up in this New Jersey election which
cannot be explained away by any
amount of plausible sophistication.
1t Is not the purpose at this time to
go into all the details and angles of
it. But it is sufficient 20 say that
not by any stretch of imagination
can 1t be construed as m expression
If satisfaction with the Democratic
national regime OH the part of the
voters and that it is not calculated
to strengthen the Democratic Con-
gressional campaign management at
the outset Of the 1914 campaign.
Also. it may be suggested that
there is food for thought on the
proposition that the controversy
over the repeal of free tolls is by no
means over, either in the Senate of
the United States or before the
country.

DOOM OF THE SECRET
SESSION.

BY vote of 81 to so, the Senate
has voted to table the Kenyon reso-
luton providing for rule which
would abolish the secret session ex-
cept in case of consideration of
treaties.
The surprising fact about this
vote is, not that the resolution was
tabled, but that it should have de-
-.eloped so much strength. A COM
bination Of reactionary Senators,
Democrat and Republican, tabled it.
But the sapport for the new rule is
so great that it is recognized every
where the doom of the secret ses-
SIGN is sealed.
No good reason can be advanced
for the secret session of the Senate
in the consideration of nominations.

donal instances. where international
matters are under consideration,

THE SUFFRAGE ISSUE.

Although the Senate voted some
days ego on the Bristow amendment
for woman suffrage and the amend.
inent failed to receive a two-thirds
vote, the contest is not over.
: 1t was predicted at the time that
the contest had only begun and the
obviousness of this grows. The
Woman Suffrage Committee has
again reported the suffrage amend
ment to the Senate and it is before
that body again.
A point Of order has been raised
against the amendment and efforts
will be made to sidetrack it by hav-
ing it declared out of order, on the
ground that inasnluch as there has
teen one vote on it this session it
cannot be brought up again save by
the usual processes of reconsidera-
ton.
Whether it is declared out of order
or not, however, it is plain the SEN
ate and the House have got to keep
on meeting the issue.
This issue, let it lie stated, is not
the question -of woman suffrage in
itself but whether Congress is going
to refuse TO permit the question to
be submitted to the people of the
United States and let them express
themselves On it.
1t is one thing 20 oppose suffrage
on its merits bit it is quite another
thing for Congress- to refuse to al
low the country to pass judgment on
1t. The public is getting increasingly
impatient with the obstacles in the
way CT amendment of the Constitu-
ton and in the way Of permitting
the voters to pass or the amend
ment of the Constitution.
1t is fortunate thing for the sup
porters of suffrage that they have
or their side in this case the unas-
sailable principle that it is not the
proper business of Congress to block
the way to the consideration of a
proposed change in the Constitution
when any large percentage of the
people demand that such considera-
tion he glen.

In the parable Of the Good Samari-

wounded neighbor and passed by on
the other side. He perhaps thought
1t was too bad to have the influence
of beautiful service at the temple

way. The robbers might yet be
