GUARD SECRET CODE BOOK
Signals to Be Used by Navy in Time
Of War One of the Most Close
of Secrets.

Few things are so jealousy guarded
as the secret code book of the United
States navy. 1t is book of signals
not the ordinary "wig-wag' signals
used In the daily direction of the fleet
by commanding officer-but code
of signals to be used solely In time of
war and IN the presence of an enemy
These secret code books are issued
only to the executive officers of a ship,
who are enjoined to protect them
against theft by every possible means.
These books are threatened not so
much by the ordinary thief as by Sc
cret emissaries of other governments
who desire to obtain knowledge of
what our battleships would do in time
of action. Governments have no scru-
Piles against theft in such cases
The loss of one of these secret code
books by an officer, unless explained
to the entire satisfaction of the secre-
tary of the navy, would mean court
martial and probable expulsion from
the service. To the honor of our ser
vice, no officer has ever yet been
brought up charged with loss.
The books are bound in heavy metal
covers, SO that in time of threatened
capture they may be thrown over
board. sinking at once to the bottom
OF the sea, and thus avoiding seizure.

will expand. The Inter Oceans cor
respondent says that business men
are looking for IAN early revival in
languishing trade and start towarad
the rebuilding of prosperity on the
sound fundamentals that have been
established during the period of re-
adjustment and retrenchment through
which the country has now passed.
One of those fundamentals is the de-
mand that the prosperity shall be
shared In by the great army of con-
sumers. Sir Robert Balfour recently
said in the New York Times that he
did not think that there was in this
country ANY serious business depre-
sion or that hard times are to be fear
ed" Such depressions as there was
was world wide, and much more mott
ceable in other countries than here,
and so could noe have been caused by
anything done at Washington. Speak
ing of the new tariff law, he said:
Il do not agree with some who say
the benefits of competition will not be
felt by the consumers. To my mind
the consumers are just the ones who
will reap the most benefit. / think
prove great boon to the mass of peo-
pie in America, and l am surprised
that the public has not demanded it
sooner"
The year 1914 ought to be year of
great industrial and commercial prog
ress. The outlook is certainly ia
vorable.

DEMOCRACY GROWS

The sentiment expressed by Com
modore Vanderbilt: "The public be
damned" has generally grown in dis
favor and is still vanishing. The SEN
timent that at one time was charac-
teristic of and symbolical of oligarch-
les has changed into habit of cul-
tivating and lauding the spirit of de-
mocracy. In many cases it has been
necessary to existence. The realiza-
ton of the fact that the people in
some form rule,-if not today, tomor-
row, is enthroned and no business, no
personal happiness or success can ex-
list for any great length of time with
out the support of the people. There
is no such thing as independence ex-
cept in mere relative sense. No one
is free except in the freedom of his
relationship to other things and other
people.

Small Communities in England Cung
to Ceremonies That Are Many
Centuries Old.

Hawarden the little town in Flint
shire, North Wales, which was made
forever memorable as the residence of
w, E. Gladstone, recently celebrated
the festival of its patron saint and
heavenly protector, St Deinloi. Many
legends cluster about the name of this
saint, but little is definitely known
about him. His name was given to
the library which Mr.. Gladstone estab-
lished in Hawarden. The little Welsh
town, although now unimportant.
boasts of great antiquity, and among
its relics of the past is the ruined cir
cular keep Of the thirteenth century
castle, Hawarden castle, which was
the seat of Mr. Gladstone, dates from
1852.
The first of December Is the fes-
tival of the saints of the isle of Bard
sey, off the coast of Carnarvon county,
North Wales. This little islet was for
centuries center OF Christian activ-
ity, and pilgrims from all over Wales
gathered there on each first day OF
December. Its soil was considered
sacred, and its shrines were famous
for miraculous cures of the sick and
crippled. A farm on the mainland
opposite Bardsey still remains 1.-THE
free because its owner was anciently
charged with the expense of supplying
refreshment and rest for the weary
pilgrims. The worship Of the saints
of Bardsey has all but disappeared
among the modern descendants of the
ancient Cambrians.

Ruthless Gathering or Plants.

Several species of British plants,
including some of particular beauty
and renown, are in danger of extinc-
tion owing to ruthless gathering
Opinion seems to be divided as to
whether or not the appropriate rem
edy is to be sought in state protection
Although many wild birds and other
members of the animal kingdom are
now commonly protected by law in
civilized countries, there are few pre-
cedents for the state protection of
wild plants tone of the few being the
case of the climbing fern in the
United States). The education of
public opinion on the subject and
other protective measures have been
undertaken by committee of the Sell
borne society. One proposed remedy
is the establishment of plant and fern
sanctuaries, or at least gardens set
aside In different localities where
every rare British species might be
carefully preserved and perpetuated.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

No better expression could be given
to the general business situation since
the enactment of new laws on the
tariff and money questions than is Civ
en- by the Indianapolis News which
says:
Within the last few days there has
been a notable waning of the pessi-
mistic spirit. A few Republican po-
liticians are still determined to have a
panic, or at the very least prolong-
ed period of industrial depression.
But the only effect of these mutter-
ings is to injure the men from who
they came and the party which they
assume to lead. 1t is now generally
agreed that foreign trade will be
greatly stimulated by the new tariff
with its lower duties, stimulated both
as to exports and imports. A steam
err arrived at New York from the Ar
getine with cargo of 100000 &
of fresh beef. This is believed to be
but the beginning of a profitable trade
in meat, trade that was heretofore
impossible because of our tariff. 1t
is said that there will be two or three
shipments month, and that the beef
will retail at from 10 to Is per cent
below the price charged for Ameri-
can beef In a New York dispatch to
Th,oouo Int Ooaan ic fhic.
while Wall Street is still talking
of bread lines and soup kitchens, New
England has put its house in order
and is preparing for the better times
of which the auguries of the new year
give abundant assurance"
There is marked improvement in
the steel and iron trade, and the cop
per industry "hais already turned the
corner" Business men, including
many of the bankers, are expecting
great things of the new currency law
1t will free credit from even the sus-
picion of control by the big Wall
street banks, and make it possible for
banks everywhere to meet easily all
legitimate demands for credit Under
our present system credit has been
denied-sometimes, of course, for good
reasons-at the very times when it
was needed most, and when a threat
ened stringency could have been avert
ed by free lending. Thus stringencies
were, if not actually created, at least
greatly aggravated. 1t is believed
that, under the new system, the banks
will be much better able and much
more disposed to extend credit at any
time to any man entitled to it on the
basis of the security that he offers.
We have been assured that there never
was money trust. But it is certain
that a few of the Wall street banks
exerted tremendous power over the
commerce and industry of the country
a power which Mr.. Morgan himself
admitted would be dangerous if it fell
into bad hands. That power, it is
believed, is broken.
Thus trdae, both domestic and for
eign, will be freer than it has been for
half century. Under this new free
dom both ought to, and we believe,

CANCER AND, RADIUM,

DR.. Howard A. Kelly, whose distinc-
ton in his profession is u%ndisputed,
spoke with much tranknoss about thn
spread of cancer at a meeting in New
York last week. The doctor, while
admitting that radium, the latest rem
edy for the dread disease, will not cure
all cases, insisted that in the majority
Of instances the disease can be perma-
nently eXtirpated by the new element.
DR.. Kelly does not hesitate to say
that excessive smoking is the prolific
source Of cancer, and that young wom-
en- who toy with the dainty cigarette
are much more subject to the disease
than their sisters who refrain from
the use Of the weed.
DR.. kelly's warning hat there Is a
great quantity Of fake" radium on he
market should be borne in mind by all
sufferers and their families. The ma
terlal itself is so expensive that a pill
the size of a pea is worth SIPS, 600. 1t
is apparent that none can possess a
portion with an curative value with
putting up an enormous amount
of money, n those who are afflicted
with the dread scourge of cancer
should be careful of quacks who pro-
TESS to have the means of cure, when
in reality their panacea is a fraud.

A Bourbonish Atfi+uda

Springfield Republican: The atti.
tude persisted in by our Boston coppe,
kings concerning the strike of the
miners in the Michigan copper coun-
try, which they control is. repugnan1
to the ideas regarding labor unionism
now generally held by enlightened
people. Their is a touch of rroganc
In the latest statement by Quincy A
Shaw and r. L. Agassiz. president anG
vice president of the Calumet & Hec-
ID. that they will not employ mer

organization in America.
1t is not simply a question of rec.
ognlzlng' the Western Federation OF
MINERS. That question per Sc has
neen un1mportant for some time. Thu
Western Federation many weeks ago
agreed to arbitration with the uues-
ton of its recognition eliminated. The
copper kings in effect forbid theil
employees from joining any labor or.

willing 10 tolerate a local union. UNI
affiliated with a large outside organ
lzatlon, but such uniOnism in the on
per country would be a farce for the
simple reason that only a large or
ganlzation can furnish the
necessary to finance a strike; and the
strike, barbariC as it may be. is the
weapon now permitted by law to Ia
Dor in fighting its battles.
Inc statement given out from Bos-
ton by h Calumet & Hecla officials
eVades the point that the Western
Federation Of Miners must be Joined
by their employees If they are to ioIn
any labor organization, powerful
enough to make membership worth
while. 1t gives what is virtually a
false impression as to the mpanv'
attitude toward the principle of union
ism, for, in penalizing membership in
a particular labor organization. the
company really seeks to drive All
unlonism permanently out of the
Michigan copper industry. Even the

an untenable position, in principle
one which no arbitration board ever
