Politicians Believe Wilson Plans to Make Vigorous

Nothing in recent months has &C

is: why Is he doing it?'

some phases of his legislative program,

THE ORIGIN OF GOLD AND
 SILVER.

Steamboat Springs, Nevada, has figured prominently in discussions of the origin of ore deposits. The wat CTS of these springs contain the pre- cious metals in minute quantities, and the sinter deposited by them contains several minerals that are common con- stituents of ores, as we'll as small quantities of many of the rarer me tallis constituents of ore deposits, in cluding gold and silver. Such springs, therefore, suggest that many and perhaps most ore bearing veins have been formed by hot waters rising from great depths which have brought their metal contents up in solution and deposited them in open spaces or Assures in the rocks through which the waters passed, the deposition of some ores being influenced by chemi- cal reaction with the surrounding rock. Many ore deposits are un- doubtedly formed in other ways, for some are unquestionably of sedimen- tary origin and the metal content of some others has been carried down, redeposited, and concentrated by rain water that descended into the earth's crust, but the "hydrotherman" origin
 that is, their deposition from as- ceding hot water-of many of the more valuable ore deposits is indi- cated by the close relation observed at many places between mineral veins and eruptive rocks. Thermal waters are believed to be, in part at least, given off by slowly cooling and solidi- flying masses of igneous rock (mag- maj deep within the earth. GU. S. Geological Survey.)

RESENTs LIQUOR DOMINATION.

The Milk Wagon Drivers union of Chicago Is dry, and refused to permit one of it's banners to be carried in the so-called personal liberty" demonstra- tion of November '. None of our men were in that parade" said the secre- tary of the union, "and don't believe there would have been very many union men there at all, outside of the beer keg drivers and other lines of the liquor business. if they hadn't been driven to march. I saw letter myself sent to a member of the Ice Drivers union tE. eateniGG the loss of his job if he didn't appear in the pa rade, That's nice brand of personal liberty!"
 Within the ranks of union labor there is growing up a fighting senti- ment against the domination of the liquor interests, and incidents like this. and others which might be cited, are giving impetus to the movement.

LOGICAL STEPS.

LOGICAL STEPS.
 Edith Smith Dairs, worlds and na- tional w. c. T. U. superintendent of scientific temperance instruction in public schools and colleges, says: "The truth concerning temperance has been in a deep well for generations and there have been many logical steps that we have been forced to take in order to reach the water of truth. The first step Is the scien- tific investigation which has shown the poisonous nature of alcohol. The second step demonstrates the effect of the poison upon various organs of the body. The third step makes clear the fact that alcohol has special af- fnity for the brain and therefore af- fleets the moral character of man. The fourth step has proven that a drug that affects the organs of the body and injures moral character must render less efficient the user of it.. and, therefore, it's use becomes an economic problem. The fifth step places this experimental truth with all it's resultant conclusions in form whereby the largest number of people may be instructed, that is, in text books containing scientific facts con- corning alcohol. The sixth step is the placing of the facts in the school cur riculum and making the text books and the scientific charts part of public temperance education. The public school is the most democratic institution in the world and is more than that; it is, as Dr. Newell D. Hills says, the machine which takes in all kinds of material and grinds 1t out made over into good American citi- zens.' In this fact we see the pos sibility of our reaching the final step to our goal.'

THE PLEDGE OF MODERN
 MOTHERHOOD.

By Mrs. J. M. F. Gill, Austin, Tex,
 Press Chairman, Fourth District,
 T. F. w. C.
 Upon the worlds progressive way, Beneath the light of modern day We come-the Motherhood of Man To meet and pledge our hearts, our
 hand;
 Our varied talents, great and small; Our health, our wealth, our file, our
 all
 To you, in home or hovel wild, Our charge divine-Thou little child! We cannot change recorded years, Nor stem the harvesting of tears That ignorance, or sin, or vice May find fruition in your life; Nor luster add to eyes bedim, Or strength to nerveless, palsied limb, That years agone, by drug or wine, A natal heritage was thine. But we may build on all that stands For betterment in Babyland. As matrons, maids, as mothers true We pledge the best in Life for you; We pledge a food devoid of graft, Kept pure by legislative staff. We pledge that poverty nor pride Shall drive thee from thy mothers
 side;
 For she alone, by every rule May better fit thee for Lifes school. And tho bereft of working-mate, No added loss shall be her fate A Mothers Pension stills the roar Of hungry wolves around the door. And, thus secure from Labor's strife She still shall guide thy little life; And in return give to her land Gods noblest work-an honest man. Then by all science known to fame We hope to build thee, heart and
 brain.
 And with a touch, almost divine, Would perfect thee, in curve and line And when the years have grown
 apace,
 With goodly form and winning grace, With soul serene and heart of gold That scorns to fit in narrow mold We'll view the efforts of our hand, And honor thee-a perfect man.
