UNCLE SAM BUYS PESOS.
The Purchase Reduces Price of ST yer Which Was Growing Too
 High.

Washington, Oct. z0.-six million Mexican silver pesos have been bought by the treasury department at 8S IA cents an ounce for, minting into half dollars, dimes and quarters. The treasury department acted in this manner when faced with the ne- seccity of buying silver for coinage at steadily increasing prices which at their height brought the value of the metal dangerously close to the minted value. Now the price of silver in this country has dropped precipitately. The swift collapse from $116 to 85 cents per ounce. a decline of 31 cents, within three weeks has resulted in an investiga- ton to determine whether the mar ket has been manipulated. The high prices recently prevailing are re- garded wholly unwaranted by off cials here.
 The purchase of the great volume of Mexican dollars, the largest pur- chase by one government of minted coins from another places the Unit ed States in possession of suffi. cient quantity of silver to run the hints for two or three months, and withdraws from the silver market here the largest single buyer.

been severely criticised. However,
upon investigation we found that
he had been ordered not TO wash or
flush the streets off owing to the

celebrated with fasting and with
prayer rather than with feasting
and jollity. II would i'll become the
people Of this nation at the present
time to make their Thanksgiving
Day a season of feasting as in the
past. Far better would it be be to
make that day a day Of conserva-
ton Of food to the utmost extent,
and give the difference between the
cost Of simple dinner and the cost
Of the elaborate dinners Of the past
to the religious or Red Cross work.
The Nation needs to be called to
the seriousness Of this hour, and
Thanksgiving Day should be made
the occasion. At the beginning Of
the European war the churches Of
England and of France were crowd
ed to their capacity with worship
ems who sought forgiveness Of sins
individual and national-and sought
the help of Almighty God in the hour
of their need. st. Paul's Cathedral
was crowded with thousands who
filed to the utmost its vast spaces,
and tens Of thousands filed the
streets awaitg their turn to enter
for worship. Paris, gay and full of
the lighter things of life as we had
all thought, in that hour which OPEN
ed the world tragedy suddenly turn
ed to things of eternal values, and
the great eathedrals OF the city were
crowded, and in front of one of them
men and women were packed for five
days and nights seeking their turn
to enter, their places being taken by
the oncoming crowds.
This is in striking contract with
the almost utter lack of interest on
the part of American people in fall
ing to give special attention to the
day of prayer recently set apart by
President Wilson. The Nation was
called to prayer, but the churches,
So far as we can learn, had no lar
ger attendance than on usual occa-
sions, and instead of being crowded,
as in London and in Paris at the be-
ginning of the war, our churches
had scanty attendance.
The contrast is a striking and a
sad one. 1t is due in part to the
fact that England and France saw
the mighty shadow of impending
horrors towering over them, while
we have not yet come close enough
to be overshadowed by the awful
realities of war. But at the coming
Thanksgiving Day the President
might well again appeal the Ma
ton to recognize its dependence for
victory upon Divine help, and we
might well set apart that day as
day to be devoted not to sports, not
to the pleasures of life as in the
past, but to the serious recognition
of all of the horrors which we are
now facing. Every church in the
land should he open. No church, it
matters not how small may he the
expected attendance, should be
closed, and in every church the mes
sage of the hour should be delivered
with the utmost power Of the
preacher and received with the deep
est realization of its import by the
people who are gathered there to
observation-disclosures Record.

it would be if a way could be de,
vised, so that, instead of electrocut-
ing or imprisoling for life the
murderer after his crime was COM
mitted, he would save US that ne
cessity with all the expensive
legal procedure involved by board
ing a train for a six months leave
of absence when assailed bv his
first impulse to exact an eye for an
eye and tooth for tooth. The
State would even save by bearing
the expense.
The method need not be elabo-
rate. Let the person with such a
purpose or inclination in mind
merely make affidavit to that eff
feet before a nPiRhhoring judge or
magistrate. Then let the latter,
after having satisfied himself by
inquiry that a probability of the
crime exists, direct that the said
John Doe be sent to Palm Beach
or Newport. according to the sea-
son, for such a period as seems
advisable, with all bills paid from
the public treasury.
OF course. it may be objected
that everyone desiring an outing
would promptly declare himself n
potential slayer. But it must be
. remembered that there is still a
considerable prejudice against
