his preliminary estimates have high val
ue for approximate accuracy. Some ad-
vances have been made in the date OF
publication of the final statistical re-
ports. but here the compiler encounters
the difficulty of obtaining full and
prompt cooperation from a very small
minority of the producers, so that it is
the last ] or 2 per cent OF the returns
that cost the most time and effort. A
gain of weeks in the date of publication
of the statistics of some products might
be made but only at sacrifice in the
quality of results. The standard of ae-
curaey maintained by the man of scien-
tific training shows itself in his aversion
to round figures. The survey will con
tinue to seek improvement in the prompt
ness of issue of the final reports, but
the public need for authoritative mineral
statistics possessing full news value will
be met by estimates published Jan.
and at other times in the year. The
surveys new-year and mid year state
ments have already won a place in the
public press because they furnish the
business interests with impartial esti-
mates of the rate of production of the
raw materials and fuels that are so es
sential to the nations industry and com

Monthly Coal Statements.
As information to be valuable must be
timely, the geological survey regards the
preparation and issue of its quarterly
and monthly statements as representing
the ideal plan for statistics OF all the
principal metals and mineral fuels.
Already further step in the same di'
rection has been initiated and the geo
logical survey is now issuing every
month a comparative statement of rail
road movement of coal and coke for the
preceding month. 1t is believed that
these authoritative figures furnish the
public a valuable index of the general in
dustrial conditions as well as of the cur

the question OF preparedness and be-
came its strongest advocate, and down

the parldes and other forms tot
artificial hysteria it began to look as

opposition for the nomination, but
from the reports available it seems he

seems a if that was an endorsement
of his stand and gives cause for the
question: What per cent of the
American people really favor that
program of preparedness which would
give us the same military burdens
which have been the curse and the
mill stone around the neck of every
European nation?

THIS story of prosperity is reproduc-
ed from the last issue of the Festus
Independent: "The cry is ever more
houses in Festus and Crystal City.
The writer had six Or eight parties to
call at the Independent office last
week, all seeking to rent houses here.
And the demand in Crystal City is
just as great. Just why more homes
are not being built for renting pur-
poses in Festus remains a mystery. If
the city is to continue to grow,
houses must be provided. There is
n proud boast that now can be pro-
claimed to the world by the tri cities,
Festus, Crystal City and Herculaneum,
there is not a single house sign posted
with the "for rent" sign. That alone
is positive proof in what direction the
wind is blowing. Labor is plentiful,
wages are fair, and taking all things
in consideration, living and enjoying
life is as much of a possibility here as
anywhere else.n

IN letter to the Centerville Outlook
friend Munger intimates that his de-
feat for the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the late primary was
due, to some extent, at least, to the
''corrupt use of money" In view of
the overwhelming majority by which
Congressman Hensley was re-nomi-
mated this is a serious accusation Mr..
Munger makes against the Democracy
Of the District. I am sorry that he has
written such a letter, much less pull
lished it, and when the first sting of
defeat has passed, and ''reason reigns
again." Orrin too will regret what he
has done.

fell after the manner Of the unregen-

upon human will. We are of common
clay, after all, weak and uncertain,
and all that, with crying need of char
ity from each other. That DR.. Will
Hanson may "core back" physically
and spiritually, must be the prayer of
every follower of Him who scathed

gathering of Heller than Thou stone

In Far Away California.

A correspondent of the New York
World, Mr.. Herbert Howard, ofSacra-
mento, California, gives some inter-
esting data as to the political situation
in the Empire State of the Golden
West.
"Probably,n said Mr.. Howard, "the
Democrats of the East will be gratifed
to know something of political condi-
tions in California. While the Demo-
Gratis OF this State do not yet claim that
they can swing it to Wilson, yet at
this early date it is clear that the
fight will be close, snd no one has the
temerity to name the winner.
"California normally, of course, is
strongly Republican, but it is signif-
cant that this year at least one-third
of the registered voters have refused
to declare their party preference. Our
primary laws make it mandatory on
voters who wish to vote for the nomi-
nees OF a certain party st the Primary
election in August, when Presidential
Electors and members of the Legisla-
ture are nominated, to state their par
ty preference. The fact that one
third of the registered voters have re-
fused TO so state their preference in
dicates a strong Independent senti-
ment and augurs well for the candi-
dacy of President Wilson.
''The fact of the matter is that the
Progressiv8s of California-aud their
vote will control the November cleo
tion-are strongly incensed at the
manner in which their loyalty to the
cause has been betrayed by Col.
Roosevelt at q time above all others
when they felt he should have remain
ed loyal. Gov. Johnson has not urged
o single Progressive to return to the
Republican party, because while he
acceded to the request of Roosevelt
and announced himself for Hughes,
he is too honest to ask another to
stultify himself in q like manner"
