THE MAN WHO
SAVED BELGIUM

Herbert c. Hoover, being nineteen
years of age, depending on his re-
sources, quiet, self-confident and
sparing of speech, presented himself
in 1891 in the new Stanford uni
versity as the first student to be
registered, the first occupant of
Encina hall, and as the nucleus of
the department of geology and min
ing. AS nearly everybody else
among the 465 students was fresh
man likewise, lack of experience was
no bar to anything. So, as a
freshman, he organized the finances
Of the student body on a sound sys-
tenn which remains to this day when
the student group spends many thou
sand dollars a year in its varied ac-
tivities.
Duly graduated in 1895 as a min
ing engineer, Hoover accepted the
first position offered, a place on
the staff of a mining corporation
in Nevada county, California. The
pay was 50 per day, the assignment
to push ore-laden cars from the
mouth of the mine to the reducing
works. The cars all reaced their
destination, and more specialized
Job followed. Next he appeared in
the most desolate spot in the civil
lized world, Broken Hill, in the des-
ert of New South Wales.
In this desolate, forsaken wallow
of sand, zinc and gold, Hoover and
his team-mate, D. P. Mitchell, of '96,
spent a red-hot summer night dis
cussing the chances of a return to
the world Should they go on as
wage-working mining experts in the
countries God forgot or should they
throw it all up and go back to some
honest trade in California? This
is the tradition. The fact is, they
stayed by, and then came series of
events which led Hoover to China
and Mitchell as a general manager
to Melbourne.
He was thirty-four years old by
this time, we are told by David
Starr Jordan in Sunset Magazine. He
had gone to the limit as a mining
engineer. He could do nothing more
with it as a profession except to
pile up more money. He had all
the money he needed and he wanted
to do something else. There was
Agricola, whom we would like to
translate. There was lot of ancient
record stones from his mine on Mt
Sinai. Hoover considered entering
American politics.
When the war began there were
more than 100000 Americans scat
tered over Europe. These met with
all sorts of troubles and grievances
great and small. Some were rich

REASONS WHY THE JAPANESE ARE GET
TING THIS COUNTRY'S GOLD.

Two items comprise the account which com
pes the United States 10 send gold % Japan
The first Is the debit which we have accumulated
over there because our democratic tariff enables
the japanese TO sell us more goods than wo can
sell 10 the Japanese. This adverse balance of
trade has 10 be paid for We cannot pay Il In
goods, so we must pay Il in money.
The other item Is that created by the pur-
chases Of war material by our allies. We have
two-thirds of the worlds stock Of gold Just now,
and so we are made the med. IL through which
gold gets 20 Japan This item will probably now
disappear from the account between the United
States and Japan, inasmuch as the huge loans
which we are lately making 10 our allies will be
expended here-and our manufactures will Sc
cure the benefit of the allies orders which have
heretofore gone 10 Nippon.
The other item will remain-and IL will prob
ably increase. We shall doubtless witness little
II any diminution in our gold shipments 10 Japan
because Japan will continue 10 enter our free
markets with her goods and she will probably
send even more of them over here in order that
she may keep employed the men whom the ces-
sation of munition orders will take from that line
of activity.

FOURTH OF JULY THIS YEAR IN PRICE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT

The Glorious Fourth" of July in Price this
year will be something different than in years
past There will be more thinking this year and
less shooting Citizens who formerly burned
up" money in firecrackers and fireworks will be
halted by the thought that the only powder TO
be exploded this year will be done by Uncle Sam
and his allies.
The Fourth this year will be day Of conse-
cration--a day of realization that the liberty
won on the Fourth in l776 IL being extended by
the nation that won Il ~ nations that know Il
not. And. also. that the nation is in duty bound
TO safeguard its priceless heritage against auto
cratic aggression.
The spirit Of safe and sane" Fourth has
made notable progress in Price in recent years
But this year Il will not only be safe and sane
but also solemn. Many of our citizens of mill
tary age and physically fit will in the course of
a year be equipped with the paraphernalia Of
fighting men. Before another Fourth rolls
round they will be In the thick Of Il. Some of
them may never return.
Popguns are out Of place this year. Real
guns take their place. Instead of looking sky.
ward at the popping roman candle this Glorious
Fourth let's bow our heads in prayer. Let's
make the Fourth in Price more glorious by an
inward contemplation Of the business on hand

Stores hereabouts that deal in canned music
anticipate no interference with business by the
war, basing their deduction upon the singular
fact that in wartime there seems TO be more use
for music than in peace. II will be remembered
by the older people of Price that il was during
the civil war that the great pianist Gottschalk
made the greatest success in this country that
up 10 that time an artist had ever achieved. In
war people want and need music TO a larger ex-
tent than in peace because their nerves require
tonic and their minds, abnormally excited de-
mand a solace II is probable that there will be
more music in the homes locally throughout the
war than has ever been before and for this rea-
son.

SOCIALISM HAVING HARD SHEDDING IN
THESE LATTER DAYS.

Socialism is having hard time of it these
days. In this country socialists are deprived OF
passports to enable them TO attend socalled
peace conventions" in Europe. In France, they
are similarly handicapped, despite the fact that
political socialism has made great progress in
that country and shows large parliamentary
strength. In England, they no longer enjoy the
unrestricted freedom which made that land the
refuge of the desperate men who were compelled
to flee the continent.
And everywhere their ranks are being de-
pleted by the desertion of highminded men who
find that intellectual socialism Is closely akin to
treason when il attempts to express itself in ac-
ton in time of war. We would be glad If this re-
action should proceed even farther In the Uni
ted States. for instance IL would be good omen
IL the revulsion against active socialism should
extend also to academic socialism which has been
allowed TO express itself in legislation during the
past four years
We now see more clearly than ever before
what socialism means when the ultimate test
comes IL means resistance TO government in a
form tantamount TO treason. To coddle social
ism in Legislation is TO invite ultimate demon
stration in action
There has already been too much of that cod
ding since the democratic party secured full
power 10 legislate in this country.

'"The campaign was essentially one of education.

of the press of the nation the hope of those in

constant inspiration TO the various other groups
of workers. At time when news space was at
a premium the liberty loan was featured at
length. Newspapers and magazines, in their

for the success of the loan every step of the way
