John T. Trowbridge.

A man died the other day at Airing
ton, Mass, who was at one time one of
the best friends Of the boys of Amer
lea. For many years stories for younger
readers came from his pen in surpris-
ing volume and of remarkable quality.
John T. Trowbridge kept the younger
readers of a generation and more ago
bountifully supplied with fascinating
tales that were at once uplifting and in
teresting. He had essayed more seri-
Gus literature, but quickly found his
forte to be the production of tales for
the youth of the country, and so sue
cessful was his career in this line OF
endeavor that it is doubtful if he ever
regretted his adoption Of the field. His
work was always conscientious and al
ways true. A peculiar genius is re-
quired to produce such stories, knowi-
edge of boy nature, sympathy with the
young, and, moreover, a consistent,
unwavering adherence to high princi-
pies. The boys of today are not better
supplied with current reading matter
than theif fathers and even their
grandfathers were by John T. Trow-
bridge, and they might proftably turn
to his stirring and stimulating stories
for their present entertainment.

The Lincoln Memorial.

The House of Representatives yester-
day responded heartily to the PROPOSE
ton advanced by the Senate in the ur-
gent deficiency bill to add 1894, 900 to
the cost of the Lincoln Memorial in
order to make that structure more fully
adequate in detail and materials. Some
objections were entered, but finally the
House voted emphatically-257 to 81
that the national tribute to Lincoln
should be the finest possible in detail
and execution, and that no small con-
sideration of dollar saving should re-
suit in workmanship that in a genera
ton or two would stand as a reproach
to the American people.
This action by the House, following
that of the Senate, is expressive Of the
feeling that only the best possible suf-
fees for the National Capital. The
American standard has been raised to a
point at which it is possible to build
for all time. So long as it is maintained
there will be no occasion to apprehend
eventual humiliations in the deteriora-
ton of structures long before their
time.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the
House should have responded so strik-
ingly to the requisition for more than
half a million more money from the
Lincoln Memorial commission, while re-
fusing to heed the protest of the fine
arts commission in the matter of the
central power plant. Was it because the
one is patriotic and sentimental mat
ter, and the other merely a question of
artistic fitness7 In point of fact tech
nically the fine arts commission had a
better case before the House than the
Lincoln Memorial commission. The for
mer stands as prescribed by executive
order as the final advisory board Of the
government in just such matters as this
central power and heating plant, an Or
der which to the administrative officials
has all the power of law. The monu
ment commission stood under positive
limitation of law as to the cost of the
memorial. The fine arts commission
was ignored and the executive order
nullifed and Congress now acquiesces
in the process. The Lincoln Memorial
commission asks that the cost limit be
raised and its request is granted. The
decision of Congress in the former in
stance is to be deplored, just as that in
the latter case is matter Of warm con-
graduation.

ing themselves and in q few weeks
doubtless there will be several thou
sand young men engaged in this sort
Of training. Every one who goes to the
rifle range and acquaints himself with
the mechanism Of a gun and with its
proper manipulation is acquiring
knowledge that may in some emergency
stand him and the country in good
stead. 1t would be well if every boy
in school could bel taught how to shoot
a modern military service rifle, just as
every girl should be taught the prin-
ciples of nursing.
Pacificists deplore this disposition
toward preparation for a possible war,
which they say is uncomfortable with
out American aggression. They fear
that the teaching of the American youth
to shoot straight will breed belliger-
emit desire and that from this desire will
come tendency toward national
"scrappiness." If there is that desire
latent in the American people no mere
training in potential military efficiency
is needed to bring it to the surface. The
American revolution was not precipi-
tated by the ability of the colonists and
their sons to shoot accurately. The civil
war was not brought about by the mill
tary training of the young men OF either
section. Great forces make for wars,
forces that are beyond the range of in
dividual effort and influence. If the
young men of America make themselves
capable of effective military service
against an emergency which probably
most of them will pray may not arise,
the chances of that necessity occurring
are lessened.

Director of Primary instruction

1t is greatly to be regretted that the
position of director of primary educa-
ton in the public schools is not to be
filled by the appointment of a member
OF the existing school organization
These higher supervisory positions
should so far as possible be held for the
promotion of teachers and principals, to
give an incentive to continued service
1t is rather an indictment against the
school personnel if it has been found
necessary to go to another city in orde,
to fill such vacancy, especially after
the lapse of so long period.

The Superior Perception.

There are times to be gay with a laugh
or song,
There are times to be serious quite.
There are times for expression Of SEN
timent strong,
And moments for fanciful flight.
There are times to be grim and relent-
less Of speech,
And others to heed PHYS call.
There are times to divert, to reprove
or to teach
There are times to say nothing at all
1t is easy enough as occasions arise
To be sad or instructive or gay.
We may babble along till we find with
surprise
That perhaps we've had too much to
say.
It appears after all that the wisest of
men,
Though the stir they create may be
small,
Are those who can measure their talk
and know when
It is time to say nothing at all.

Mr.. BRYAN at St. Louis.

If Mr.. Bryan appears in the st. Louis
convention as the champion of the one
term proposition he must base his con-
tention on something broader and
stronger than the Baltimore platform.
For him as for other democratic leaders,
the less said about that deliverance the
better. 1t will not escape attention in
the campaign. The republicans consider
It a gold mine, and will work it for all
it is worth.
As a member of the cabinet Mr.. Bryan
assisted as an adviser in the revision
of the tariff, and thus stands in part
responsible for a law which has not re-
deemed single promise made at Bal
timore in the name of the tariff. So far
from being reduced, the cost of living is
higher than ever. So far from being
encouraged, business, except in the lines
of war materials. is more depressed than
ever. And so far as the revenues for
the support of the government are con-
eerned, they are more inadequate than
at any time in half century.
As a member of the cabinet he saw
without protest appropriation figures
piled higher than ever before. The Bal
timore procurement against republi-
can extravaganza, and the pledge of
economy, were alike disregarded by
the Sixty third Congress.
As a member of the cabinet he in
dorsed the reputation of the plank re-
speeding Panama canal tolls. He lis
tened to the Presidents request for the
repeal of the law exempting American
eoastwise ships, and was quoted as ex-
claiming to a friend, "Isnt Wilson
splendid!"
Now, with this record on those three
important matters, why should Mr..
Bryan lay any stress on the one-term
matter because of the Baltimore decla-
rationa What reason is there to be-
1ieve that the convention in spreading
molasses did not mean to spread it over
the one-term matter as over the tariff,
economy and the canal tollsa'
If Mr.. Bryan takes up the question in
another spirit and on general lines can
he reasonably expect better attention
In way, the record will be against him
there also. Both parties have renomi-
mated Presidents, and reelected some
of such nominees. Of recent date Mr..
Cleveland had three nominations and
two elections, Gen. Harrison two nomi-
nations and one election, Mr.. McKin-
ley two nominations and two elections
and Mr.. Taft two nominations and one
election. Mr.. Bryan has had three
nominations; and there is not a poll
tieian in America who does not believe
that if either in 1896, 1900 or 1908 Mr..
Bryan had secured one term he would
have stood for second.
The topic will be SO interesting in
Mr.. Bryan's hands that, coupled with
his eloquence and daring, it should add
materially to the gayety of the conven-
ton, and help swell the attendance. A
record breaking crowd seems a reason
able expectation.

disease is raging, the health authori-
ties are posting broadcast warnings
against coughing and sneezing, with
picture posters designed to remind the
people sharply Of the peril that exists
in this practice. It is thoughtless, in
sanitary practice in any case, and it is
positively dangerous to human life when
respiratory diseases are prevalent.
Guard your cough and your sneeze and
you will perhaps prevent some one else
from suffering.

LARGEST PRODUCTION
OF ANTHONY ORES
DATA COLLECTED BY THE UNI
TED STATES GEOLOGICAL
SURVEY

Anthony prices in 1915 were pro
badly the highest known since the
metal became regular article of com
merce. The high prices led to the
largest production the United States
has made and probably the same
statement is true for the worlds pro
duction
According to preliminary figures
collected for he Unied States Geologi-
cal Survey by Frank L. Hess, the pro
duction of anthony ores in the Uni
ted States is estimated to have been
about 5000 to sncontaining 5000 tons
OF anthony, valued at about $685.
600 The largest previous domestic
production was in 1892 when $50 tons
of metal was produced in San Fran
cisco from Nevada ores and $50 tons
OF ore carrying 55 per cent Of anti
mony was exported. Practically all
operations of the past year were new,
most were small and they were wide
ly scattered so that II Is difficult to
obtain close figures Immediately after
the close of the year.
Anthony which in July, 1914, had
been down to monthly average price
OF I'll cents for CooKsons, and from
5,44 upwards for other brands, rose
gradually though unsteadily, to the
end of 1915, when Chinese, Japanese
and American antimony were quoted
at about 40 cents pound
Quotations for Cooksons antimon,
ceased in May, 1915, some time aftel
an embargo had been declared against
the shipment OF anthony metal OF
ores from the British possessions, ant
so cents a pound Is said to have beer
paid for II about June 1st when Chin
ese was selling for about 35 cents o
less. In the fall American antimon
appeared on the market for the frs
time in many years. AT first It sol
slightly below Chinese and japanese
but was soon quoted at the sam
price. Miners and smelters, appai
emily thinking that the high price
would be temporary. did not begi
production as quickly as they othe
wise might have done, but before tn
close of the year properties in Alaski
California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon
Utah and Washington were produ,
ing.
Prices for ores ranged from Sic
to 500 per unit Of anthony. At fri
only ores carrying 50 per cent or NOR
anthony were In demand, but befoi
the close of the year 20 per cent ore
were being shipped from Nevada

have also smelted some ores. The
Magnolia Metals company found so
much difficulty in obtaining needed
supplies of antimony at reasonable
price that 1t bought and mined ores
in Nevada, smelling them at Brooklyn.
Harshaw, Fuller and Goodwin com
pany of Cleveland we're in the market
for pure ores from which to make an
timony salts, heretofore made from
Chinese Crude anthony"
The tendency has been for some
companies to go to an expense for
mine development, machinery and
mills, not wholly warranted by the
circumstances. The present high
prices are temporary. The Chinese
deposits are extensive, and worked by
very cheap labor, ana other deposits
are being developed in other parts
of the world, and as soon as the wal
is over, and possibly before, prices
will probably drop to level with OF
close to those of 1914.
