DICE OF LIFE ARE LOADED

GENTLEMEN, under the present
competitive system the dice of life
are loaded against both the bright
and the dull children of the poor, and
your own actions prove that you your
selves believe this to be the situa-
ton. You yourselves are constantly
whining at the millionaire's back
door for money to establish cash fell
lowships with which, as with life
preservers, you can rescue at least a
few from the bitter storms of COM
petitive life. But l must remember
that you are cultivated gentlemen
whom l must address in the gentle
language of polite society. Well,
then, let me use the sweetly metered
smOothness, the rhetorical honey, the
flute-like softness of graceful phrase
appropriate in addressing your AGA
demically sensitive and shrinkingly
vulnerable natures,-let me with deli
cately diplomatic indrectness tell you
this, just this, gentlemen: You seem
ridiculOusly inconsistent, vulgarly il
logical, mockingly insincere-and CON
temptible. With your learning, your
eloquence and your unusual moral
influence you defend the competitive

President Pleads for Brandeis

President Wilson's letter giving his
reasons for nominating Louis Bran
deis for the Supreme Court and urg-
Ing confirmation, was read to the
Senate judiciary committee by Chair
man Culberson, but no vote was TAX
en-, as had been expected. and no
time was fixed for one.
President Wilson characterized
the charges against his nominee I'm
trinsically incredible to any one who
really knows Mr.. Brandeis." and de-
elared they proceeded for the most
rart from those who hated Brandeis
because he had refused to be service
able to them in promotion of their
own selfish interests. and from these
whom they had prejudiced and mis-
led" The president added that the
propaganda in this matter has been
very extraordinary and very distress
ing to those who love fairness and
value the dignity of the great profess
sions."

AMERICAN POTASH PRODUCTION

A review of the developments in
the potash industry in this country
during 1915 has been prepared by
the United States Geological Survey.
1t states what has been done in vari-
GUS states and discusses future sour
ces of production. 1t describes the
results as incidents of the birth of
an industry.
The Survey states that potash was
recovered as a by-product from the
manufacture of Portland ement at
Riverside, California. By-product
potash from this source has yielded
a considerable revenue, owing to the
abnormally high price for these salts
and in obtaining 1t two other pur-
poses have been discovered-first,
the saving of additional material to
be converted into cement, and. sec
ond, the elimination OF the dust nui-
sance. At Riverside a discharge of
100 tons OF dust a day over the sur
rounding orange groves has been
prevented.
Potassium sulphate from alunite
was first placed on the market late
In October. 1915. by a company at
Marysvale, Utah. TIE production has
not been large so far. owing to the
incidents connected with a pioneer
enterprise Of this character. Though
certain foreign deposits OF alunite
have been worked for potash alum,
this is the first recorded yield of rot
ash salts as such from alunite. The
product is of high grade.
A rlant owned by a company at
Omaha. Nebraska. was established

Peace Proposal Rumor Denied


The Foreign Office announced at
London On May 8. that it had receiy-
ed the following communication from
Sir Henry Howard. special envoy to
the Vatican:
with regard to German-American
negotiations, II has been widely stat
ed that the Pope last Friday tele-
graphed to the German Emperor and
to President Wilson urging concilia-
ton.
mo such step was taken by the
Pope. The report Is entirely without
foundation"
It is remarked that this message
is "ambiguous". inasmuch as Amer
lean reports indicate that the Pope
telegraphed not to President Wilson,
but to Cardinal Gibbons.
With regard to peace talk, which
has received new life through the
German note. all that is obtainable
at the Foreign Office Is the state
ment by Blockade, Minister Lord
Robert Cecil representing the atti-
tude OF the British government.
Vatican officials at Rome refused
to make any definite statement con,
corning reports of a papal initiative
to facilitate peace. either through
the United States. or otherwise.
