The Value of Publicity

Our recent editorial, The Value OF Publicity to Min
ing" met with general approal, Judging by the publicity
it has received and the favorable comments that have
come to our notice, says the Mining and Engineering
World. We attribute this, the World continues. to the
peoples we'll known liking to be told truths they have al
ready known. When they find that others think as they
do they realize that they must have hit upon a truth. The
important thing, then, is to keep the public reminded OF
that truth.
The particular truth that we wish to reiterate Is that
every mining district should conduct some organized pub
lcity campaign to keep the public informed on the mining
possibilities of the district and of the extent and results
of mining operations. In our previous editorial we called
attention to the interest that the business men III the dis
trict have in the welfare of the mines: that by boosting
mining thev indirectly are boosting their own business.
It is in this way that commercial organizations can get IN
some effective work for the good of all. But this is not
enough. The mining men themselves should organize
associations to look after their general interests. Mining
men in MANY sections are alive to this and their mining
associations are accomplishing great good.
These two groups OF organizations the business
mems and the mining mens-can accomplish much by cir
culating truthful descriptive and news matter concerning
their district and its. mining activities, either by circular

Disruption of a University

The eople of Salt Lake City and the state of Utah are
in 4 turmoil because Of the disruption OF the University OF
Utah. Recently fourteen members of the faculty rendered
their designations because of the Dismissal OF four pro-
fessors. IN many quarters it is considered to be a church
eStlessness under mormon domination
but this view is not held by the Salt Lake Tribune, the lead
ing anti-mormon newspaper of the state. The Tribune
says:
1t is probably essential to recall the real foundations
of the dispute. -Four professors were dismissed by Presl-
dent kingsbury without a hearing and no charges were
made against them. Rumors and innuendoes mentioned
charges of a most damaging character, and yet not one of
the professors was given an opportunity to defend HIM
self. All were dismissed by the president of the unIver-
sitv. and the executive committee of the board of regents
upheld the president in his despotic policy. This was the
start of the public dispute. For months, however, the
caldron had been simmerng at the university. Professors
of all religious and political views were dissatisfied with
the management of President Kingsbury. Mormons and
gentiles felt that free thought, free speech and free action
were being repressed.
When the four professors were dismissed the entire
dispute came before the public, and naturally these men
were anxious to Justify themselves. Finally the regents
were compelled to take action, and in a public statement
they made it clear that in the case of at least two men no
charges existed. In two other cases there was a charge of
dislovaltv. but it was very dim and indefinite.
Tn the case of Professor knowlton it was brought out
that at one time he had mildly criticised the chairman of
the board of regents. Here was the basis for an accusa-
ton which had been going about for weeks that a con-
spiracy existed among certain professors to make one of
their number PRESIDENT of the university. In spite of the
weakness of President Kingsbury's contentious. as suffi-
GENTLY revealed in the regents report itself. the regents
upheld the president. and thereby committed themselves
to the principle of university repression as opposed to the
principle of freedom OF thought. speech and action.
Here was the genuine issue. All other issues were
subordinate to it. If Justice is to be done this is the issue
that must be settled. When. fourteen other professors re-
signed they demonstrated that a vital principle was at
stake. 1t was at this point that the regents should have

JASTRO SOUNDS
NOTE OF ALARM
HEAD OF LIVESTOCK AssOCTA.
TION THROWS LIGHT ON MAR
KET CONDITIONS

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, March
25.-Alarming conditions in the cat
tie industry were described by H. A.
Jastro. president of the American
National Livestock association in his
annual address at the opening OF
the convention yesterday. Unre-
m~unerative prices, ruinous market
fluctuations, fear of the effect of the
removal of duties on cattle and meat
and unsatisfactory range conditions
were given a. the factors that
threaten disaster to the cattle bust
ness.
A shortage of cattle, he said, did
not exist. The calamitous condition
generally pictured by the public is
not true. Jastro continued. 1--WE still
export more meat products than we
import and will so continue prob
ably for many years." The idea that
meat prices had been raised by the
European wal was denied. The sup
position that the b%elligerent our
tries would require great supplies OF
meat after the war ended because
the countries would be without cat
tie is also lei He said the
countries now warning would be
unable to buy our products.
1.-THE most important question for
stockmen, the public and the gov
eminent is the elimination of un-
necessary expense in the raising,
marketing and distributing of the
PRODUCTS" said Jastro. The under
lying cause of unprofitablelessness
is needless expense. Federal SUI
pervision of the open range was sug-
gested as a possible economy.
A sanitary convention was rec
commended for the promotion of a
federation of the western states CO.
operating in an interchange of cat
tie and the exclusion of cattle from
areas infected with the foot and
mouth disease. When this matter
was considered the delegates from
Texas and Arizona and New Mexico
left the meeting, stating that the
resolution by DR.. Chas. Kans, state
veterinarian of California, provided
for the abandonment of certain
state regulations which the three
states would not relinquish. An
other efforts will be made, it was
said, to have the western states agree
On some plan whereby non-infected
states can cooperate. An inter-
change is said to be necessary.

Danger to United States

The commerce of the world is threatened by the ext
gencies of war. The allies are u%nyielding in their deter
mination to utterly destroy the commerce of Germany, and
countries can scarcely be estimated at this time. Under
the proposed starvation campaign, says the Sacramento
Union, the chief danger of complications involving the
United States is found in the implied threat of the allies to
make seizure of ships in all parts of the world bound to or
from Germany or carrying cargoes presumably destined
for an ultimate German cOnsignee.
This means that American-owned ships under the
American flag, carrying American merchandise of a non
contraband character to a neutral port, but possibly in
tended for Germany, may be seized by English or French
cruisers within gunshot of New York and taken to a
French or English port. Under the plan of warfare
adopted by the allies, the American flag is no longer of the
slightest protection. We are told in so many words that
our people must not trade with Germans in any commOdi-
ty. The penalty for violation of this order is to be the
detention of our ships and the diversions of the cargo from
its point of consignment.
No one expects this country to accept such a cOndl-
ton. But it will remain for the first enforcement of the
new policy to determine the course the president will pur-
sue in the matter. The suggestion has been made that the
president may call congess in extra session to authorize
the laying of an embargo on all shipments from this coun-
try to the allies. Just before the adjournment of congress
a resolution was passed unanimously giving the president
great power in dealing with the complex questions grow
ing out of the war, but that power was not extended to in
clude the right to stop Our trade with the warning powers.
1t is obvious that each turn of the wheel in the great con-
flict makes the position of this country and other neutrals
more difficult.

The figures given out by the de-
partment of commerce showed the
greatest increase in wheat exports

LEEK Is EMBLEM OF
THE WELSH REGIMENTS

LONDON-After disputes as to
comparative claims of the dragon,
the leek and the daffodil as the
emblem of the new Welsh addition
to the Grenadier Guards, the decis-
ion has been made in behalf of the
leek. This vegetable, described by
Shakespeare in Henry Y as an hon
orable badge of service, has been long
associated with the Welsh TROOPS,
and was worn recently by Welsh
soldiers in their caps on st. David's
day.
Other points settled are that the
red dragon shall appear emblazoned
on the regimental colors and the
motto shall be "Cymru am Byth,"
meaning "Welsh Forever" Wales
is the last section of the United
Kingdom to be honored by a regi-
ment in the brigade of guards, whose
duty it is to guard the royal abodes
in peace times. England, Scotland
and Ireland form the other regi-
mentS.

An Appalling Condition

The editor of the Fresno Republican recently made
some editorial comments based upon the Prusslan casualty
lists. The calculations show a condition absolutely
appalling. He says: >.
The last eight official casualty lists OF the state OF
Prussia, No. 100 to No. I75, contain 55,I42 names, bring
ing the total OF Prussian killed, wounded and missing, since
the war, up to 10000 men. So, at least, a Copenhagen
dispatch to the London Evening News reports: And these
lists. It must be remembered, are from Prussia alone, and
do nor include 100 Bavarian, I36 Wurttemburg, 100 Saxon
and 20 navy lists-435 in all, from the rest OF the German
empire. ~, -.
LET us do a little conservative estimating The last
eight Prussian lists contain 33,I42 names or an average OF
4I43 to each list. The average tor the entire lI3 RUSSIAN
lists is 5000 to each list. Taking the smaller OF these two
averages, and cutting even 1t down to 1000, by striking out
the odd numbers. we would have even on TINS underesu-
mate. I71oOOo casualties for the non-PrusSlan part OF Ger
MANY. or 100000 for the entire German army. lh1s IS
more than all the soldiers who served for any period, short
or long, on the Union side in the American Civil war
Taking the average of the Pruss1an lists as proDaDy the
average for the others, we have %2,64o,oI5 German casual
ties outside of Prussia. or S,6oooA for all the German
armies. This is more than all the soldiers on both SIDES IN
the American Civil war.
"Jn other words. if every soldier who enlisted IN our
war. in the whole four years, had been lost, the number
would not have equaled losses of the German army alone
III a little over half a year of war. 1t would centainly De
an underestimate to compute the Russian, Austrian, Bel
oian, French and British losses combined at twice those OF
the Germans. Probably they are nearly proportlonate to
their total numbers engaged. But even at three 'hlles' .e
losses to date of all the European armies must be over ten
million men. There are about twenty million adult, able
bodied men in the United States. The European losses
already equal half of these-a sum OF grief and tears ana
blood equal to deprivin9 every second family IN America
of it's father or adult son. 1t is a thing colossal, stagger-
ing, incomprehensible. Nothing remotely approaching it
ever happened in the world before, and civilized mankind
could not survive its happening twice Yet Lord N1tch-
ener saws the real war will not begin until May.
These basic figures may be exaggerated, though the
calculations are correct. But divide them by two or by
three or BY any other number YOU please, and the remainder
is still beyond all understanding or enduring. 1t is a
nightmare of the suicide OF the race.

The man with an income of more than $1,000 has been
going through his annual attack of income tax report; like
the influenza, it grows worse each year. Contrary to a
somewhat general belief, the small percentage of citizens
thus honored do not whine and fuss so much about the tax
itself-most of them pay it even cheerfully-but they do
fume and blow up at the complications, exasperations and
impossibilities imposed. AS an exhibit of crude, inconsist-
ent and amateurish complexities this latest report is a
masterpiece of incompetence as a leading daily ex-
presses it. A wellknown lawyer, after trying to fathom
the law. gave it up in despair with the remark, 1T is inn
possible to understand its meaning save by consulting a
palmist.'

Mining World: We note that in various mining dis
tricts there is a dearth of prospectors and a call for them.
There is a need for new prospects for the attraction OF new
capital to the mining fields. When the war started and
there was a sudden curtailment for active mining. many
miners were reported to have undertaken prospecting to I'LL
in the time. Evidently the recruits from their ranks were
not sufficient to meet the demand. Prospecting is a le-
oitimate business and one that should be attractive from
the fact that it is the means of discovering valuable prop
critics that NAV Weld great profit to the finder, and to
the man who has confidence to Srubstake him.
