OLD CHERRY CREEK MAY
YIELD WEALTH AGAIN

If there are any pessimists in
Cherry Creek they are in hiding. A
satisfactory outcome of litigation
that has put damper on the camp
for the last six months was effected
last Tuesday, when the Nevada Star
Mines company paid out $4,000 to
forty lien claimants and freed the
old-time silver properties that have
produced millions in the past from
legal complications, says the White
Pine News
Since the principal corporation
that is operating in the old silver
camp was able to meet its obliga-
lions the atmosphere seems to be
surcharged with optimism. Every
body in the camp feels like ready
money"

Special Propaganda i'm Public Schools

THE question has arisen in Baltimore and
l other cities, and in time will reach Rich
mond. as to whether the public schools may
evils of Notwithstanding. The answer
without other consideration, is that the
proper place for such instruction is in the
home in the daily life of the boy. Smoking
along with other Objectionable practices
among youth may be prohibited in school
or on school grounds as a matter of regula-
ton, but it is not the first purpose of public
schools to instruct in things other than those
connected with fundamental education Any
destructive or injurious habit may be at
tackled indirectly or incidentally. in the
of the physical sciences, but to single out
cigarettes any other alleged vice for the
satisfaction of those especially interested in
suppression would be to divert attention from
the necessary things.
Without doubt there is merit in the con-
tcntion that cigarette-smoking, because of
the wholesale availability of the article and
the fact that cigarettes depend principally
upon deep inhaling for their effect on the
nervous system interferes with application
to studies. and should. therefore. be discour-
But, again that is question of home train
ing and influence, and no set of enthusiasts
along this any other line should be allowed
to cloud the iSsue--which is that the youth
of America require, for their future success
the solid fabric Of real education, with very

The Air Raid on London

THE long heraldcd Zeppelin raid on Lon
- don has come at last. with a total result
of some four persons killed larger num-
!, her injured and various fires. three OF which
attained respectable proportions. No defen-
sive worKs were dana ged. no public building
was struck by bomb absolutely no military
purpose served.
: From this distance it would seem that the
terror these raids inspire in advance is alto
,.gether out of proportion TO the harm they
actually do. AS their purpose is terrorism,
lit might be better for Berlin not to make any
raids at all, but constantly to fiji the people
of England with apprehension that raid is
imminent. Hyster!a is il-justfed by
accomplishment that the raid when it is
made wears al! the unpleasant aspect of anti
climax.
There is not much use of discussing the
CO &C. of the German raid. Germany has
4 decided that it is all right to drop bombs
from the sky on private dwellings, and as
London undoubtedly is fortified it NAV he
.tthat the raids have technical Justification in
international law.
