under compulsion in the army and navy of the country complain, would be lodged against the law which no manner of explaining would satisfy.
 It is very certain that there are men in the government employ whose services are as important, in the sit uation which they now hold, as tho they were actually to be engaged in battle, but these cases are few and far between.
 The officeholder should not be ex- empted because he is an officeholder. He should have a better reason than this, and it seems from Washington dispatches that the protests which have been lodged against the official exemption clause are to be recogniz- ed, though at a belated hour, by the government itself.

PHYSICALLY DISQUALIFIED"

l The number of young men who have been rejected by the examining board for physical disqualifications is little short of amazing. Official figures are not yet obtainable, but it Is es- timated that between 65 and 70 per cent of the men called before the boards failed to meet the standard army tests.
 The relative importance of this sit- uation is revealed when it is known that during the Civil war only little more than 25 per cent of the men called to the colors were rejected on physical grounds and it has been es- timated by the provost marshal that this percentage would not be exceed ed by the present draft. In some parts of the country it has fallen consider ably below 25 per cent while in others the average has been higher. That the rejections have been too numerous, however, seems to be shown by the fact that the war department has low cred the standards for the rest of the first increment of the army.
 Yet the first impression that this is a country of weddings is mislead- ing. Most of the rejections were for defects which the physician member of the board says could be remedied in a weeks time by medical of den- tai attention. Probably the greatest number were rejected on account of bad teeth-a condition endemic in this country, where there is scar city of lime in the water. Other de- fects which would tell on the soldier in the trenches but which the aver age person does not regard as serious caused the discharge of consider able number of registrants.
 The latest ruling regarding tests of eyes, ears and teeth appear to be pro- per ones. For instance, if 1t is possible to restore defective teeth with dental work, the candidate will be enrolled, and no doubt this work will be done by army dentists, as it is at the front. It is impossible to raise vast army of perfect men and it is only to be expected that the army standards of peace time should be slightly lower in war.
 These examinations are important. not only in sitting out men for the army, but also is showing how few persons the physically fit for hard

OFFICEHOLDING MAY NOT EEK
 EMPT

Now it is given out from Washing ton that despite the liberal provisions of the conscription law exempting from military service public em- ployes, a strict adherence to the law will not be encouraged. In other words, government employees will not be exempted merely because of the fact that they are upon the public payrolls. If their services are not in sense indispensable because of the important technical knowledge which they may have in their particular sit uation, they will not be exempted from the provisions of the draft.
 This is wise and important deci- sion. It is a just decision, too, for were the government to place it's em- ployes into a special class and say that they would not be required to bear arms in the nations defense. while requiring young men to leave their activities in civil life and serve

The Price of Silver

Editor Prospector: Your cable cor respondent was in error when he stated that S7 cents an ounce was the highest price ever reached by silver. He probably grabbed the misinforma- tion from some hair-trigger newspap- CT writer who touched himself off in a hurry. If he read a little of the miles of newspaper controversy over the "Crome of 1873" that piled up in the Nineties he would have learned the facts.
 When coinage of the silver dollar was suspended in 1873 silver was worth about $1.32 an ounce. It's coinage value at 16 to 1 is $1.2929. From 1873 to 1890 the metal sunk in value until it was worth a little more than 90 cents an ounce. In that year the demand for silver coinage at the old ratio of .16 to 1 forced a compromise in the form of the Sher- man purchasing act, which called for the purchase by the government of 4,500,000 ounces of silver a month at it's market value and the issuance of silver a month at it's market value and the issuance of silver certificates for the amount paid for the silver. Shortly after the Sherman act was passed silver advanced to $1.19 an ounce. Almost immediately the price began sagging and went down until in 1893 it was worth less than 80 cents and has never reached that price un- til within the last month. In 1893 the Sherman act was repealed and silver dropped to a little over 60 cents. Then came the silver campaign of 1896 which resulted in the establish ment of the gold standard for the United States. Silver sold for de- cade or more after 1896 at between 50 and 60 cents an ounce. A few , years ago it started upward and has been rising irregularly ever since.
 If the young man had said "87 cents for silver is the highest price since 1893" he would have been cor rect.
