SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION


 California statesmen, and especially those from the southern part of the state, are making a lot of noise around Washington in laud- able attempts to boost the San Diego Exposition which opened on time the first of the year, and which, despite adverse conditions, has been proving a very satisfactory drawing card for tourists to the Pacific coast.

lOXSS was pZO, O,COO,OOO, OI . sum equal to the number ot pairs of silver black foxes ir the island multiplied by $35,- 900. The total number oi silver black foxes, counting
 1914 pups, is now 2,60O, anC the authorized capitalization is $31, ,5O0,OO0. Probably $26,- 100000 of this stock has been issued; hence the capitaliza- tion is at the rate of $2O,00C per pair, counting pups and grown foxes.
 The striking contrast be- tween these prices and the prices obtained for live silver black foxes and for silver black furs in the world mar kets where live foxes bring an average of $500 per pair, and fur skin an average of $352 each-is explained by several predicateS on the part of the companies having the stock for sale. One of these is that Prince Edward Island foxes differ from all others. This does not comport with official statements, which show that 1920 foxes were i'm ported by the fox men of this island during 1912 and 1913 and that importationS during 1914 were greater than during thoseyears
 There are a few ranches, belonging more frequently to individuals than to stock com panieS, that have been care fully guarded from intermix- ture of any but silver black foxes for Is generations. These might well lay claim to a superior strain of foxes, which would be valuable
 their foxes were marked when pups to distinguish them from the unguarded strains. These would gener- ally breed true to color. In general, however, it can be stated that Prince Edward Island foxes are an intermix- ture of foxes imported from various sections of the Yu- kon, Alberta, Labrador, On tario, Saskatchewan, Manito- ba, Alaska and elsewhere. These importationS are so re- cent and are so continuous as to disprove any idea that the intermixture has developed a peculiar strain. The idea that the 2,6OO silver black foxes or Prince Edward Island repre- sent a unique and peculiar strain of foxes is mythical.

PROTECTING THE POOR
 INVENTOR

The impression that the rich steal the poor men s
 patents is not entirely cor rect; for while there is a lot
 of this sort of thing going
 on, yet a decision rendered
 by the Board of Examiners
 of the United States Patent Office a few days ago, shows
 that there is still redress for the poor and worthy. Albert s. Janin, a poor cabinet mak-
 CT, living out from New Yorl City, perfected the hydro
 plane in 1909, and year
 later Glen H. Curtis startled
 the country by discovering
 the same thing. There is nothing to indicate, in this instance, that Curtis knew anything about the prior in- vention. In the contest be-
 fore the Patent Office, Janin
 proved his case, and the prob abilities are that he will re- ceive royalties from all the
 products of the big Curtiss
 factory which produces fifty to seyenty-five thousand dol lars worth of goods week.
 The Wright brothers had
 fought for several years to subStantiate their prior claim to patents, and they were fin ally sustained. The same is true of Alexander Graham Bell, in his experiences with the telephone. It is related that when Bell found he had perfected his device he went to the Western Union Tele- graph company, and offered to sell all the rights of the invention for $1OO,OOO. He and his fellow worker, James A. Watson, were greatly dis couraged. But both had great wealth and power forced on them because no one would buy their little toy.
 A few days ago, the cores pondent of the Examiner was one of a party of 150 invite guests to witness the opening. of the transcontinental tele- phone lines, and the first message we listened to over the receivers with which we had been supplied, was be- tween Mir. Bell, who was in the room with us, and MT Watson, talking from San Francisco. The President and other gentlemen, includ- ing your humble correspond ent, talked on that first tria of the 6800-mile circuit; anc the great achievement of wire communication was pro- nounced by all as a complete Bell and Watson were among the poor invent orS saved by the enforcement of the patent laws. Thei voices, on the day we heard them, fairly rung with sue cess, joy and pride. Uncle Samuel stood by them to the | end, notwithstanding that they were very poor young men when they gave their in to humanity forty | years ago.

PENCILS IS PENCILS

1t was prim young lady, fresh from the
realms of higher education who recently ap-
peared at the office of a prominent manufac-
turer of lead pencils, presented credentials as
a health department investigator and announced
her desire to study conditions in the factory
with reference to lead poisoning
Just as pigs is pigs" so to her lead was lead
Such Observation-Disclosures is hardly to be ex-
pected of the average mortal, but If the fair
investigator had called to inquire as to tho
actual nature of the product made and Just why
it had to share names with something equally
common hut totally different the memory of
her visit would have been less likely to have
been perpetuated in the guise of the traditional
factory joke.
Most persons are aware that lead pencils are
not made of lead, but that the so-caled black
lead in them is full brother to coal and to
the aristocratic diamond and that ii is identical
with many other substances in common use
such as the backing the kitchen range are
additional facts not nearly so well known
Black lead and plumbago are popular terms
for a form of pure carbon whose proper name
graphte-from the Greek word meaning to
write-is more accurate and more appropriate

and used since about the middle of the 10th
century, but for matter of 200 years therea fter

BUSINESS AND WAR DEMAND 1T

CECRETARY McADOO's call for an ap-
- preparation of s2465,OOO for improvements
to the Delaware River should be made an
integral part of the ADMINISTRATORS national
defense program and be considered apart
from the general bill for river and harbor
improvements.
A thirty-fve- foot channel to the sea is
needed for merchant shipping just as the
Panama Canal is needed to shorty the dis
tance by water between the two coasts of
America for the benefit of commerce. But
If the commercial reasons alone had been
considered it is doubtful If the Panama
Canal would have been built so soon.
An attack on the Atlantic coast would show
how weak we are here, with no way of as
sembling the battleshps save through the
open sea. But with the Delaware deepened
and connected with Chesapeake Bay through
the existing canal it would be possible for
ships to pass from Philadelphia to Newport
News by inland route safe from attack,
and if the Delaware were connected with
New York harbor by similar military canal
warships could be moved from one point to
another along the coast without the slightest
danger
When the demands of commerce and mill
tary necessity will both be served by great
public work there should be no more delay.
Whatever II does with river and harbor
bill Congress is expected to vote the money
asked for the Delaware River project.

MENACE OF BRYANISM

TN 1896 William ]. Bryan split the Democ-
racy wide open and under his guidance
1t wandered in Sahara for sixteen long and
weary years. 1t reached an oasis only when
the Nebraskan was relegated to the rear
guard Auguries of n new disruption at his
hands multiply. He has junketed from town
to hamlet throughout the Union, preaching
dream and finding many to believe In it,
Time has exposed the other great fallacies
for which he fought and he himself has prac-
tically repudiated them. Yet, despite his
genius for being wrong, there is a magnet
ism about his self-delusion that draws men
to his camp, as the flame does the moth
so far as the activities of this erratic
statesman may affect the Democratic party,
II is apparent that the greater his success
the more fortunate for the nation. 1t would
be no great calamity to have the Democracy
thrust again into the outer darkness and the
Government returned into the hands of prac-
tical men, who dream their dreams indeed
but do not attempt to experiment with them
at the national expense. But the menace of
Organism becomes a real danger to the
country when it threatens to wreck the pro-
gram of preparedness and leave our shores
exposed to the vandalism of any enemy that
cares to prepare an expedition against us.
That other phase of Organism, which would
put q Sneep'S neart IN tne mons DOuy lne
Organism that lauds tolerance of insult, the
non-p protection of American citizens and
glorfes a jey-ish attitude toward any
braggart mlitarists that care to murder our
people, blow up factories or invade our
sovereignty, is not less dangerous.
1t is apparent that the Republican party
must again save the Union, its prestige its
honor, its place amorg the nations. Bryan
ism can kill any Democratic party measure
for defense. It can emasculate prepared
ness program and make of it a moClery.
on the Republican minority therefore, since
delay would be perious, devolves the duty
of rushing into the conflict and ralylng to
the cause of Americanism. Organism as the
smasher of the Democratic party is one
thing, but Organism as a peril to the nation
is another. Once before it was met and van
quished by virile patriotism, and so now it
must have the sting taken out of it, Its
loudness may be endured provided it never
becomes effective.

BOY SCOUTS AND LOYALTY

THE schsm in the leadership of that phe-
i nomenal organization, the Boy Scouts of
America, is a deplorable thing. Without at
tempting TO pass judgment on the merits of
separate issues between Ernest Thompson
Seton and the present heads of the Boy
Scouts, ones first response to the news of a
break Is feeling of waste.
The organization spread like one OF those
forest fires which II is the duty OF the mem
bers to prevent. There was something uni
versally appealing in the outline of duties
and privileges, in restored communion with
outdoor life, In service and uniforms and in
brotherhood with big men. and all this ap-
peal was furthered and fostered In the best
OF all possible spirits. Now. according TO
Mr.. Seton, the Boy Scouts have been thrown
out of their normal course, and both broth
erhood and nature are being desccated or
abandoned.
If this be true, then loyalty to the ideal OF
the Boy Scouts must prevail against loyalty
to the mere shell OF the organization. If it
be not true. then Mr.. Setons attempt to
form a rival organization will not be much
appreciated by Americans Possibly there
has been exaggeration on both sides, and in
that case the quicker the wound is healed
the better The Boy Scouts are far too val
liable to waste the quarrels of their
leaders.

A Little Kerry Song

There's grand big girls that walks the earth
And some that's gone to glory
That have been praised beyond their worth
To live in song and story.
OH one may have the classic face
That poets love to honor
And still another wear the grace
OF Venus self upon her.
Some tall and stately queens may be
And some be big and merry
Ochl take them all, but leave for me
One little girl from Kerry!
Sure, Kerry is little place,
And everything's in keeping
The biggest heroes of the place
In little graves are sleeping;
And little cows give little crane
For little fairies take it
And little girls think little shame
To steal heart and break it.
och, here's a little Kerry lad
That would be, OH SO merry
If but your little heart he had,
oh! little girl from Kerry!
