vigorous prosecution of the war, but
insists upon obscuring the men who
have all along been the pioneers in
the work to which he has finally
given his approval.
Roosevelt has been suppressed at
every opportunity.
Leonard Wood has been put as far
as practicable from the firing line.
Nobody knows where Gardner is
or what he is doing. He quit his
office in Congress and went to the
colors, but he has been so placed in
the service that no one ever hears
of him.
The wet blanket has been thrown
upon intelligent patriotism.
When a Congressman is to be
elected to fill vacancy, the spokes-
men of the administration go out
with the word that the President
wants a Democrat elected. The man
who declared that "a vote for Re-
publican is vote for Prussianism
and the Kaiser" is in favor at the
White House.
The cabinet is as solidly Demo-
cratic as ever. The newly-appointed
delegation to the conference of the
Allies is Democratic. The Commit
tee on Public Information is Demo-
cratic. The War Exports Trade
Board is Democratic. The non-par-
tisan tariff commission is Demo-
cratic. Partisanship rules supreme.
There is no sign whatever of any
intention of the President to change
his policy in this. regard, but if by
any chance he should do so, it may
be safely predicted that he will go
the limit, and, when desperate cir
cumstances make such action neces-
sary, he will even admit Col. Roose-
welt to active participation in the
war

FLAME THAT BURNS

An article in the New Republic has
something to say about THE Educa-
ton of the Future" and in it we find
this keynote: The spirit individual
or social, is q living thing, by It's
name and by it's nature, a flame that
burns, and it must in degree make
the world over for itself or it is not
spirit" That is to say, it is an ac-
tive agent for good, and yet in our
scheme of education we push II
aside, for muscle and style, for
"cypherin' and parsin'" and let this
grandest of human forces go to
waste, because we don't know how
to strengthen and train it. Right
there is the issue of the coming edu-
cation, which would turn to the per-
sonality of citizenship more and to
materialism less.
The end of education is the max
ing of true men and women, not
merely scholarship or learning.
These often stand in the way of true
education, which looks to the tri-
umph of the soul. We don't know
how it is done, we are told. But
there is where the duty of the real
educator comes in. He must be an
inspiring, uplifting man or woman.
He must get away from the old pro-
fessional ideas that have everything
to do with knowledge, and get into
the arena where aspiration, intuition
and Gods meaning in the world have
their appropriate sway. That is the
only way to save this nation and de-
velop its potencies in the direction
of a noble destiny. To this end we
must employ, what the writer quoted
says, the flame that s."-Ohio

MARKET FORESTALING

woman stop at stand where 1
was buying, and ask if the man
who had the stall, had any more
pans of ponhaus. Yes" said he
We'll" said the woman ,'I want 10
pans. This was taken to her meat
stand and sold for cents a pan
more than she paid for it. This,
| am told, is unlawful. Some time
ago another butcher woman came to
a stall where l was buying pork
chops. Have you any more pork
to spare?" she asked. Yes" said
the farmer. She bought and paid
for as much as she could carry, took
it to her stand and sold it for 4 cents
to cents more per pound than she
paid for it. This is unfair and
should be stopped.

THINKS KINGMAN JUST
 WIDE PLACE IN ROAD
Eastern Capitalist Stops off Here to Look Situation Over But Takes HaSty Departure When He Learns Ger tain Things About Community.

One of the most interesting strang- CTS seen by a Miner reporter in a long time was a gentleman from the east the other night who wanted to know all about Kingman and Mohave county. He came in between trains at night and therefore did not have an opportunity to look the town over in daylight. He explained that he had been reading the Mohave County Miner and had been impressed with the possibility of locating here in a business that would necessitate the expenditure of large sum of money.
 "Kingman is a very small place, though, is it not"?, he inquired. He was informed that there are about 5000 people in this town and that in many respects it is ahead of towns twice this size.
 "How do you figure 5000 people, with so few business houses"?, was his next question. "There are only about a dozen business houses here from what I can gather, he added The reporter then made further in- uuiry as to what he based his inform ation on, and obtained the strangers viewpoint from the following.

ID HOOVERIzE
 ALI BUSINESS
 |S LATEST PLAN
Local Merchants Consider ing Scheme of Reducing Delivery Service as War Time Economy; Draft Army Will Make Many Vacancies in Business.

Klngman merchants are considerino the Hoover plan of conserving house. hold expenditures and curtaiIing ex- pense of deliveries, in order to reduce the cost of living in war times. In. stead of having a continuous delivery service, it has been suggested that only one or two regular deliveries be made day, thus saving an enormous amount in money and time for the business men. In that way, the ser vices of several men could be dispens- ed with and they would be released for other duties. With the departure of men for the draft army, there will be many positions made vacant.
 The plan has been instituted in many of the large cities, upon recom- mendation of the national and state councils of defense. Many large city stores already have reduced their de- livery service to the point where only one delivery is made a day. At pres ent, even in Kingman, the larger stores maintain several wagons re- quiring a number of men to make the deliveries of proceries and dry goods.
 The plan also contemplates that customers will carry home their par cels whenever possible and make their purchases with the intention of keep ing what they buy. This also would result in less buying "on approval. Many people order various articles and have them sent out on approval. Frequently three or four trips are made before the article is sold. The plan would bring about greater care fitness in buying and result in mutual saving in time and money to all con ceued.
 It is probable that the matter will come formally to the attention of the local business men in the near future, for they say such a move is working with splendid success in otherplaces and that eventually it will come here.

SILVER NEARING DOLLAR MARK:
 MEANS GREAT REVIVAL IN MINING

an upward turn and then gradually drifted downward until it hit the bot
 tom level near 40 cents.
 Not since the days of the Sherman purchase has the white metal appear ed to have such firm footing in the market, and the general impression is that it will continue it's climb until it reaches it's coinage value of S1.2929, which happy event is expected before the first of next January.
 Silver was one of the first metals coined and for thousands of years was the metal money of the people. The money changers believing that metal money was becoming too plentiful to control entered into a compact to rele- gate silver and make gold the only me dium of value. This compact was car ried out and in 1873 the free coinage of silver at the United States hints was discontinued. Gradually the white metal sank in value until it reached the limit below 50 cents. The low price of the metal put all the low grade silver mines out of commission in the Unted States, the only product ion being through the medium of the copper and lead mnes as a bi-product. Last year only 74,414,802 ounces of Silver was produced in the United Sta
