GOLD WAS PLENTIFUL WHEN XERXES CAME
 BACK FROM GREECE
(St. Louis Globe-Democrat)

History, at best a bird of passage with a treacherous memory, is silent as to the time when gold, was first given a higher standard than the other metals. Less useful to the or iginal races of men than iron and its kin, we can but suppose it won its distinction step by step with civili- zation.
 Appealing to man through his love for the ornate, it proved powerful factor for disseminating the worlds inhabitants, and for ages it was the prime element of conquest.
 Among the ancients, gold was sought chiefly for ornamental pur- poses, and its use in this respect was beyond the widest extravaganza of modern custom. Not only were the persons of the fortunate possessors adorned in almost every conceivable manner, but the walls and ceilings of their dwellings, their public buildings the paraphets even of their cities gilt tered with gold.
 It must have been very plentiful, and was bought and sold, delved and sought for, as diamonds are today Kings led their legions against other kingdoms that they might secure their golden hoards.
 Xerxes, returning from his trium- phal invasion of Greece, is said to have loaded 12,OO0 camels with the precious treasure.
 Solomon's famous temple outshone the sun in its golden splendor. The victorius Euxienade reviewed his war like hosts on a plain paved with bars of gold. King David is believed to have possessed gold to the amount of S3,OOO,OOO,OOO, or ovet six tons in weight.
 Seven walls of marvellous descrip- tions, glistening one above another in the hues of the rainbow, surrounded Ebatoma, the Median capital. From the outer paraphet of pure white al ternated the colors of ebony, purple blue, and crimson, relieved by the sixth wall of silver, but the seventh

outglittered them all in its coat of gold.
 Apparently, gold continued to iR- crease in amount until the Augustan era, when its fount began to fail and the supply grew gradually less.
 No doubt the wars of the Dark Ages waged by the barbaric hordesof the North against the gold hoarders of the South, scattered and wasted much of the precious metal.
 In it's varied uses, too, it was slow ly but surely wearing out. This was so evident that a Roman philosopher calculated in little over 400 years it would be lost to man.
 At this time the whole of Europe is estimated to have had less than the value of S2OO,OOO,OOO, or a smaller amount than the United States treas ury has held at one time.
 Gold up to this time has been little used for money. Coin pieces had not appeared until 800 B. c. Previous to this it had occasionally been used as an exchange of value in the form of rings.
 At the critical period when the fail ure of the old worlds mines and the prodigal usage of it's people threaten ed the extinction of gold, the new con- tinent with it's vast stores was dis covered.
 Their vivid imagination, fired with fabulous tales of an Fl Dorado of gold, a legion of advantageous fortune seek CTS sought the western world, the ac- count of whose exploits read like the tales of the Arabian Nights.
 Under its mad infatuation, Ponce de Leon tramped beneath his heel the primeval beauty of the Land of Flow CTS. It was the lodestone which led De Soto and his thousand followers on their, four years wanderings through the trackless wilderness. It was blazoned on the banner of the conquering Cortez, and it tipped the sword of the merciless Pizarro.
 If the shadow of a doubt over found place in the minds of any of those early voyagers as to the existence of a boundless hoard of gold somewhere in the fastness of the unexplored wilds, it was dispelled with the fruits of Montezuma's mines and the yellow harvest of the Incas, so no rumor was too wild nor conjecture too visionary to find credence.
 Fl Dorado, as first denominated a king of untold wealth, who gilded his
Mohave County miner., 1917-09-08

body with gold. before offering his rich tributes to his god, was soon sup posed to be a city, and then a coun- try.
 One Juan Martinez, more audacious than the rest, appearing among his companions after long absence, told them he had been cast adrift on a great river by enemies, to be rescued at last by party of Indians, who took him to the Golden City, where, he de- clared, everything in use was made of gold.
 He was allowed to remain at this marvellous city seven months, but up- on taking his departure he had to sub init to being blindfolded, which pre- caution had been taken in bringing him there, so it's location to him was a matter of conjecture, and the search was continued in as vague a man. ner as ever.
 The stores of Mexico and Peru, how ever, would have satisfied a people less crazed for gold, and many, many shiploads of the ill-gotten treasures were borne to the Old World-not to any lasting benefit, it would seem, ac- cording to the old chroniclers. Says one:
 q cannot tell how it cometh to pass, except by the just judgment of God, that of so much gold the precious stones as have been gotten in the An titles by so many Spaniards, little or none remaineth; but the most part is spent and consumed, and no good thing done"

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-GoveTn- ment agents throughout the ountry this week took drastic action to put an end to Industrial Workers of the To,ld and Socialistic agitation that has been hamperinC the work of the Nat'on in prosecuting the war against Germany. On orders from attorney General Gregory, United States mar skals and deputos in many towns seiz- ed looks, checlrs, correspondence and other documents and in some instan- ces arrested officials of the Organi- za5lons.

 The action of the department of jus tice was taken as the result of the re- report of labor agitation in the west by Chief Justice Covington of the Su- preme court of the District of Colum- bia. Judge Covington had just com pleted a thorough investigation of the entire situation, having travelled as far west as the Pacific coast. It IS not known just what he recommended, but it is believed he advised the au- thorities that it was time, for drastic action.
