ALL GEoLOGIS THEORIES UPSET

Whenever any discovery is made in science or technology there appears to be an irrepressible tendency on the part of those who supply the news to state that the new information 'upsets all previous theories. This stock phrase may generally be put down as an ex- aggeraton, and in many of it's applica- tions is wholly untrue. The phrase is in particular favor with the reporter of mining news. to whom the discovery of a new ore body in a district is the signal for immediately consigning all previous geologic opinion concerning that district to the scrap heap. This prediecton is well illustrated by the press accounts of the wonderfully rich body of ore recently found in the Cres- son mine at Cripple Creek at a depth of 1,200 feet. Most of these accounts state that the find "upsets all previous theories of the United States Geolog- ical Survey" Of course no such disas- ter has occurred. Anyone who will take the trouble to read for himself the brief chapter of 16 pages in the Surveys report on the Cripple Creek district published in 1906, which sums up the geologists' conclusions on the origin of the ores and the future of the district, can easily ascertain that the statements there made have been fully confirmed by the mining develop ments of the last eight years. More over, the occasional discovery of rich ore bodies, even below depth of 1000 feet, was distinctly predicted.
 It is well known that all scientific conclusions are subject to modification in the light of new data, for science is always progressive, but it should be better known that press reports of the total destruction of scientific conclu- sions by a new fact are likely to be grossly exaggerated

SILENT REVOLUTION NOW GOING ON IN

"A silent revolution is now going on in business" said Ida Tarbell, the famous writer, testifying Tuesday before the U. S. commission on in- dustrial relations in New York city. Business is today finding out that the common man is the great thing in this world. To give him full jus tice and opportunity is now the idea of many employers of labor. I be- lieve there are in this country today more employers than ever before who realize that unless the common man is properly cared for, they themselves cannot hope to make their affairs properly successful"

STEFANSSoN TELLS
OF LONG TOURNEY

New York, Sept. 81 Satisfied by
Valhialmur S~tefansson's announcement
that he is alive and well on Banks Land
in the Arctic, explorers directed atten-
tion today to the new land he reports he
has discovered in the far north.
In ~Stefanssen's W report the newly
discovered land is located neal rs de-
grees north latitude and III degrees
west longitude. He actually saw about
100 miles of coast line running in an
easterly direction and apparently pene-
trating a distance of 20 miles inland,
where from a hilltop the explorer saw
mountains at a distance of SO miles.
Cycrus G. Adams, president of the
Association of American Geographers,
declared in a statement today that Stef
ansson's new land lies about 100 miles
to the north of Prince Patrick island,
and that the most %southerly part OF the
land which the explorer visited is con
siderably to the east of the most east
ward extension of Prince Patrick Island
The lands nearest to it are the Poly
MIA islands, a little group north of Prince
Patrick island, about 65 or 80 miles from
the new land.
Mr.. Adams said the most northern
part of the new land as far as Stefans-
son saw it, appears to be farther north
than any other land in the great Perry
archipelago. to the north of the Ameri-
can continent
MIR. Adams expressed the opinion that
the land discovered by Stefansson rises
from the continental shelf in shallow
waters that surround the Perry archi
pelago and that its discovery shows that
this part of the Arctic ocean is compar-
lively shallow.
1t is pointed out that another notable
achievement was Stefansson's compile
ton of the charting of the northeast
coast of Prince Patrick island.
The expedition was undertaken by
Stefansson to test the theories which
had been set forth by DR.. Hansen and
others that the unexplored portion OF
the Arctic ocean is a deep basin virtu
ally devoid of land. Other explorers
had asserted that land of considerable
area lay undiscovered there.
The southern wing of the expedition
is pursuing it's scientific work in the
Mckenzie delta and reports no mishap
except the death of Engineer Daniel
Blue of the power boat Alaska. This
is the thirteenth death among the men,
bers of the expedition. Eight men per-
ished on the ice when trying to reach
Wrangel island and another accidentally
shot and killed himself there. Another
in the Mckenzie country became bereft
of mind while lost and committed sui
eide by shooting.

WAS TO BE

The Daily Deadwood Telegram says:
''The appointment of Charles Fl. Burke
to fill the vacancy created by the death
of Thomas Thoreson, as member of the
republican national committee from this
state, was to be expected.
Chairman Hilles, who made the tenn
porary appointment, is a reactionary of
the Joe Cannon school. Republicans of
that type have absolute control of the
national committee, and it is a ~foregone
conclusion that when the committee
meets next December it will ratify
Burke's appointment.
From one viewpoint the appointment
is most fitting. Burke has been the
leading stalwart in this state, and went
down in the last ditch with Cannon in
the house. He is a typical representa-
tive of the element which now controls
the republican party and will dictate
the mex nominee nf the party for pres
ident. Burke's loyalty to the reaction
airy side, and his ability as a political
manipulation, are not questioned by any
one. So the appointment was the best
that the republican party of Penrose,
Barnes, Smoot and Taft could have
made.
However, the appointment will not
be very satisfactory to the progressive
element, heretofore in the majority, in
the republican party in South Dakota.
They recall Burke's defeat for United
States senator last fall; and they see in
his being placed at the head of the par.
ty in this state, a cause for detection
from the party which may have serious
results in the election next year.
Progressive republicans" in South
Dakota may as well realize now that
they are facing a parting of the ways
which can not be met as it was in 1914.
They will have to line UP under the
leadership of Burke as national COM
mitteeman and Lockhart as chairman of
the state committee, with Tom Roberts
cracking the party lash over their heads:
and they will have to support a reac-
tionary platform and candidate for
president, if they continue to adhere t.
the republican party.
There are many who will not do this,
even for the sake of a progressive state
ticket-and they will take some other
road when they reach this parting Of
the ways.
The electoral vote of South Dakota in
1916 will not go Q the candidate of
Burke, Barnes. Cannon, Penrose and
their associates. Where it will go is
not yet apparent-but it will not be for
q stalwart republican on a r%eactionary
platform which will ignore the princi-
PIES promulgated by the progressive
party.

COUNTY AGENTS In
1000 COUNTIES


There has been remarkable unanim-
ity in the acceptance by the States of
one Of the fundamental features of
the extension enterprises which was
developed by the department with
funds wholly under its control pIior
to the passage of the Smith-Leyer
Act. The experience of the past II
years has fully demonstrated the
value of the county agricultural
agent as a means of bringing to u
agricultural people on their farms
and in their homes the results of
practical experience and scientific re-
search in agriculture and home
economics and securing the practical
application of these results through
demonstrations and otherwise. There
is therefore general agreement that
nothing is more important in the de
velOpment of extension features
under the new conditions arising
from the Smith-Leve Act than the
establishment in each county of per
manent headquarters for extension
work, in charge Of a competent conn
ty agent, who shall act as the joint
representative of the local commu-
nifty, the State through its agricul-
tural college, and the Nation through
its Department of agriculture. 1t is
believed that in this way the need of
the agricultural people in their sew
eral communities can be best deter
mined, and whatever help the State
and the Nation can give them in their
agricultural and home problems can
be most speedily and effectively
brought to them. A large share of
the department. extension funds,
much money derived from State,
county, and local sources, and a con-
siderable portion Of the Smith-Leyer
fund have therefore been devoted to
the maintenance and extension of the
county agent system. There are now
over 1000 counties in the As states
which have county agents.
