Censorship Is Imperative.

Not only in this country but even in England
the press and portion Of tho public have cvinccd
disposition to rail at the censorship, rigidy
exercised over information concerning the war, as
stupid and unnecessary. Yet only a day two
after our own government sends into Mexico a
punitive expedition, insignificant compared with
the smallest military movement in the European
war the vital importance of the censorship is i'm
pressed upon the country by Maj. w. r. Sample
in command OF the military camp at Columbus
n Mex. who says of the newspaper correspond
ents:
The who gets scoop is arch GRIM
inal. American soldiers lives already
have been possibly endangered by violation of the
censorship"
He means, of course, that in making public the
plans OF the expedition against Villa there is
danger of betraying the American force into the
hands of the enemy The possession of detailed
information regarding the preliminary movement
Of our soldiers be of real value to the
American public, but it may enable Villa to strike
deadly blow. 1t is unbelievable that newspaper
readers would have their interest or their curiosity
satisfied at that price, and patriotism should re-
strain American newspapers from publishing in
formation that it is known would aid the enemy
should their correspondents succeed in evadng
the censorship.
Correspondents in Mexico and on the border
have a duty to perform to their newspapers and
to the public, but they owe, too, duty to their
country and there is no doubt that the people
generally would approve the most drastic meas
urcs against any who, in disrcgarding it, i'm
pcrs the lives of American soldiers
When there is battle with Villa and his fol-
lowers, the brigand is captured all the details
will quickly be available throughout the country
but in the meantime the censorship over military
plans or the movement OF the troops is injuring
no one and if violation OF it brings severe punish
ment there will be sympathy for the guilty
ones

Commercial Revolution Next.

II the leaders of the administration party in
Congress intend to carry out the Presidents pro-
gram and provide for a tariff commission, bill
for that purpose should have the right of way i'm
mediately after preparedness legislation is dis
posed OF. The huge task that would be given to
such a commission, if it is to accomplish any
thing of value, should already be under way when
hostilities cease in Europe, for peace will bring
large problems in connection with our foreign
commerce. In France and England they look
ing forward to the end of the war, while in this
country, in spite of the admouitions Of a number
of far-sighted statesmen, no step has been taken
in the direction of meeting the commercial rcvo-
luton which must come with peace.
The impending British ordcr-in-council prohib-
iting the importation of luxurics into the United
Kingdom, gives a hint of what we must expect
when the fighting ends and the commercial war
for the rehabilitation of the impoverished nations
begins. The order is worrying the business men
OF this country, but not its statesmen. No doubt
our manufacturers see only this order
in effect years after the is over, but similar
restrictions imposed by other nations.
1t cannot be doubted that the commercial out
look calls for preparation in this country, though
it may we'll be doubted whether a commits sion
assigned to the investigation merely of questions
connected with the tariff would be competent to
measure the prospective commercial upheaval and
devise the means for surrounding it. Rather the
sdvissbility OF exceptionally qualified nonparti-
commission, with broad powers and authority
to investigate the whole question OF foreign COM
mercc, appears to be worthy of consideration at
this time. But whatever the plans OF the party
in power are for the safeguarding Of the coun-
try's commercial welfare after the war, they can
not with safety be much longer delayed

Loafers in the Bread Lines.

The spirit a investigation, which in recent
wears has harassed the big business Of the coun-
try, has taken a and strange direction with
the result that startling discoveries arc being fol-
lowed by reform in the bread lines OF New York
City. Already the Salvation Army has abolish ed
its bread line, and the police have declared war
against large class Of lazy mendicants, who re-
fuse work when it is offered to them and subsst
by patronizng all the free food dspensarfcs in
the city, spending the time between meals in the
free libraries. The investigation was undertaken
by the head of the bureau of unemployment of
the police department and the official in charge
of the Salvation Army bread line, and when an
effort made to hire men for work paying
from ST to S. day, out of hundreds approached
only half a dozen or so were found to be willing
to work. Drovcs of sble-bodcd vagabonds Of
fercd all sorts Of excuses for declining toll III.
real reason being that they found it quite easy to
exist on the unquestoning charity of the Saliva
ton Army and other organizations and indvid-
uas But an end is to be put to their grating
and those who refuse to support themselves when
the opportunity is offered to them are to be sent
to jail
While this discovery OF fragrant abuses is a
strong argument in favor of organized and super
vised charity, as represented, for instance, by the
Associated Charities of this city, it does not offer
sufficient reason for abolishing the bread lines OF
New York City elsewhere, nor is it likely to
have that effect. The bread lines of New York, in
the many years they have been established, have
saved from starvation thousands of deserving men
out of work or down and out from various causes
They FIJI an important place of their own in the
life of the great city, offering the thing that
is the immediate need of the hungry-food These
recent discoveries probably will result in some
sort Of scrutiny of the bread lines hereafter but

HISTORY BUILDERS.
When Gold Was Coined in Oregon.
BN DR.. Z. j. EDM ARDS.


In the winter OF 1881, Ben Holli-
day lived in Washington. He had
some Important claims upon which
he was seeking ajudicstion. He was
one of the interesting personalities in
Washington at that time. When he
was pointed out by those who knew
him TO others who had never seen him
but had often heard of him, he was
carefully scrutinized. His reputation
as the founder and manager OF the
fast pony mail and express service
across the continent to the Pacific
slope. before the railroads were built.
had given him national reputation.
Sometimes when Mr. Holiday was
chatting with friends. he showed
them a ten-dolar gold piece. Upon
examining this coin. ii was dscov-
cred it was not coined at any mint in
the United States. Mr.. Holiday liked
TO have his friends guess where the
gold was coined. but none could tell
him. He carried this coin as sort
Of pocket piece. having obtained IL
when he was promoting certain rail-
road propositions in the State OF
oregon. Some one of his friends in
that State presented him with this
coin.
The history of the coin was mar
rated by Mr.. Holiday. He began by
saying it came from a mint in the
United States, although not from the
Philadelphia mint. 1t was the only
mint operated in the United States
after independence was secured eN
cepting those established by the gov
eminent at Washington.
After gold was discovered in Cali
fornia, many venturesome persons
went from Oregon to California. hoping TO
gain great riches as miners OF gold.
After a year or two. many of them
returned to Oregon. They carried
their gold dust in skin pouches, at
tached to belts. and they also carried
guns or pistols TO defend themselves.
This gold dust wss accepted by mer-
chants in payment for commodities,
but it was discovered thar the scales
used did not weigh accurately and that
a good deal of the dust was not clean.
Therefore. the leading citizens in the
territory OF oregon decided that some
of them possessed skill enough to build
mint. They did this, but II was a
crude establishment, so crude that the
iron used in it was chiefly taken from
wagon wheels.
There was an artisan there who had
skill enough to engrave dies. There
were two of these, one for five dollar
coins and one for ten-dollar coins.
This mint was authorized by the terri
tory legislature. II coined about forty
thousand dollars before it stopped.
Then the mint was dismantled because
communication with California had
become so speedy and easy that II was
possible conveniently to make use Of
the mint established at San Francisco.
Mr.. Holiday could not say whether
there were more of these coins still
remaining. excepting those which had
been kept as curiosities, like the one
which he possessed.

The financial measures of the Confed-
crate government showed the straits 10
which 1t was put to support the strug-
gle, and the extraordinary lengths 10
which the exigencies Of the war were
stretching its powers, quite as clearly
as its wholesale drafts of men and its
arbitrary arrests in rebuke of dissent.
In its need for money the government
had resorted to every expedient known
to finance. even the most drastic and
desperate.
Money 1t knew from the first to be
scarce. The banking capital of the South
was but one-seventh that of the North:
the accumulation of specie ard of stocks
of goods out of all proportion smaller.
and more restricted in geographical dis
tribution.
At the very outset provision was made
for the payment of taxes in kind. When
its. redundant issues of Treasury notes
failed to add enough to the direct taxes
TO meet the necessities of the cxChequer
the government sought and obtained Of
the planters loans from their crops
promises of the payment into the Treas
ury of a certain proportion of the yield
of their fields. in return for eight per
cent bonds.
When the time came in which the
crops could not be sold for lack Of
market the government directly pur-
chased the products of the fields, paying
Tor them with bonds. for lack of any
thing else to pay.
The several States themselves took
supplies from the people for the troops
they had undertaken to maintain in the
Held, and paid for them only with their
own certificates of Indebtedness
Tho property of all alien enemies was
confiscated. In 1863. as 1t came to the
final pinch of necessity. Congress auth
orized the seizure Of food supplies at
rates fixed every sixty days by state
commissioners.
There was hot protest and Indignation
at this, but necessity had become the law
of the land Some might grumble. and
even make as If they would resist, but
there was in fact no limit to the devo-
ton of the people to the cause they had
espoused.
Women gave their very hair to be sold
