UNSWERvING, FULL HEARTED.

Representative John R. Ramsey, of New Jersey, was much pleased during the last session to receive from the branch of the Slovak League of Amer ioa, situated in his district, one of the most fervently patriotic resolutions that came before either House of Congress. The authors of the resolu- tion drew vivid comparison between their own lot in this free country and the fate of their brethren who are still laboring under the yoke of Aus tria- Hungary. The document declared that the allegiance and patriotism of the Slovaks of America is "unswerv- ing, undivided, and full hearted" Mir, Ramsey took pardonable pride in pre- senting the resolution to the House, and ~was able to have it printed in full in the Congressional Record.

AMERICA AN EXCEPTION.

It is less than ten years since the revolution in Turkey which dethroned Abdul Hamid Abdul the Damned) and set up Mehmet V in his place, which drove out the old regime and put the Young Turks in the saddle. Yet the world seems to have forgotten the incidents which attended that transformation and which paralled the events which have been taking place in Russia since the imperial dy- nasty was overthrown, last March. Revolutions always have such epi- sodes; the only exception to the rule is the American Revolution--which European commentators have always used as the great example of rev olution which was initiated and car ried forward to success and followed by the establishment of an orderly and progressive governmental by the same group of men and without sub stantial reaction at any time. Con- sequently, the Russia kaleidoscope should alarm nobody.

AMERICA MOST COURTEOUS.

Diplomatic circles around the Vat ican cannot understand why the Flu ropean Allies do not respond to the Pope's peace note. The American president made prompt answer; the German Kaiser replied little later; the Austrian Emperor at about the same time. But the other belliger- ents have remained silent. His Ho- Illness is perhaps justified in wonder ing why the President of the United States, a Presbyterian in personal faith and the head of non-sectarian state, should have been more cour- teous to the Sovereign Pontiff of the Catholic Church than the King of Catholic Belgium, for instance, or the President of Catholic France, or the rulers of the Orthodox Greek nations which lie just across the Adriatic from Catholic Italy.

PETTY PARTISAN SHIP.

While the soldiers and sailors civil rights bill was under consideration in the House Congressman John F. Mil Ter, of the State of Washington offer ed an amendment declaring that when the act ceased to be in effect at the close of the war all civil suits and prosecution under its provisions should proceed to final judgment, and for that purpose the act was to con- tinue in effect. Why such an obvious ly necessary provision was not includ- ed in the bill as reported by the Dem- ocratic committee was not explained. Mr.Miller's amendment covered the point in complete and detailed man. ner, but nevertheless it was thrown aside in favor of similar provision offered by a Democrat from Ohio, thus following out the invariable of giving the party in power the entire credit for any legislation enacted.

OUR FUTURE POTASH POLICY

According to Hugh Gibson, special newspaper correspondent in Europe one of the reasons why Germany hangs so tenaciously to the territory comprised by Alsace and Lorraine is because of vast deposits of potash therein, larger than any heretofore worked in the Prussian Empire, and on which Germany relies to continue her monopilization of the world pot ash trade after the war.
 One of the insistent demands of France is that the end of the war will see the restoration of the two prov inces which were wrested from her by Bismarck in 1870, program to which the United States is in no way committed. But the treatment which Germany has accorded in the past to American purchasers of here potash would make the restoration of these provinces to France a matter much to be desired if our main reliance for source of potash should be in Flu rope. However, much has been done since the outbreak of the European war and the consequent cutting off of the German source, to make it pos sible to secure potash at home. For instance, a new enterprise on the Pa cific coast is the extracting of pot ash from the furnace flue dust of cement kilns, which now runs as high as 90 per cent. Another process is the treatment of cement dust with

SQUEALING HOGS MAY
 WIN WAR.

Ellis Butler once wrote an anus ing book entitled Pigs is Pigs" Now Mir. Hoover tells us they are more than that; that they will, in fact, win the war. He points out that the men in the trenches must have food which is rich in the cartoons, meaning pork; that there must be animal fats for use in the manufacture of munitions and soaps, meaning lard and the like Consequently, the porker is coming into notice, and Hoover advocates a keep-a-pig movement. In classic days it was the cackling of a flock of geese that saved Rome; who can tell that a drove of squaling pigs will not save the Allies?
The Coconino sun., 1917-11-23

fluorspar and water, whereby one firm recently produced 390 tons of K20 in six months, realizing on it's sale a net profit of about $110,000. The American Trona Company has discovered practical way of separat- ing potash from soda salts and ex- poets soon to be able to put 10000 tons annually on the market from the large deposits of chloride of po- tassium to be found in the vicinity of Searles Lake, California, and in that state also experiments have for some time been conducted to recover pot ash from the giant kelp, a seaweed found along the coast. It is reported that deposits in Connecticut will shortly be yielding a high grade of potash.
 Ellwood Hendrick, of the American Chemical Society, names several pos sible sources of potash as a by-prod- uct of sugar factories, cement plants, and blast furnaces, and after looking over the entire field of possibilities in the United States Walter Kutzleb assures us that by proper co-ordi- nation of effort we can produce two million tons of potash annually which could be sold to American farmers at $15 per ton. Since the war began the price of this article has advanced from $39 to as high as $500 per ton, and as a fertilizer it has become we'll nigh prohibitive on account of the price. It has been estimated that prior to the war we imported annual ly about 100000 tons of potash in its various forms to be used in the manufacture of explosives, matches, to preserve meats, as fertilizer, etc.
 Germany has never lost an oppor- tunity to strangle the potash indus try in this country in it's infancy, by price-wrecking. The Diamond Soda Works at Milwaukee suffered this fate in 1907, and the Niagra Alkali Go. was badly hurt in 1913. As the general manager of the Niagra Com pany wisely said: "When an Amer ican industry is threatened with ex- tinction by the competition of man. ufacturers working under the wing of a government which has passed laws forcing that American industry to pay nearly double for it's raw ma

A SHIPPER CONVINCED.

The low net earning shown by ma ny of the railroads, due to the increas- ed cost of labor and materials, and the low stage of market value of rail road securities, convinces Walter S. Dickey, of Kansas City, that the roads should be granted a material increase in freight rates. He takes this view notwithstanding the fact that he is lage shipper, using some 5O,000 cars of transportation every year. This attitude, taken by one who "pays the freight" will go far toward convincing the public of the justice of the petition of the roads for increased returns for the service
The Coconino sun., 1917-11-23

terial, it is manifestly proper that the article manufactured from this raw material should be made to pay it's just revenue to the United States government and at the same time af- ford incidental protection to the American industry" Whether the Alsatian deposits remain in the hands of German, or revert to France, the fact remains that the war has made it possible and imperative that we develop our own sources of supply. We are doing so, and through the medium of a protective tariff this in- dustry, so important to art, science, and agriculture should be assured a solid foundation in the United States.

TOO MUCH FOR DAVE.

Even David Lawrence, who pooh- poohed former Senator Bourne's sug- gestion of Roosevelt as a delegate to the Allied war conference cannot swallow the mixture of mediocrity which President has served to Europe as representative of American pur- pose and ability.

Lawrence says: "The risk to the American people whose sons are fighting the war may be incalculably greater if second-rate men are sent to represent the United States at the most important confer ence of the war"
