STIRRING UP THE ANIMALS

The Miner surely stirred up the animals, when' ln
 recent issue of this great religious paper we told the truth about political conditions as relating to business affairs, and incidentally said a few kind words about one Tom Schultz, he with the German ratrcnvmic and harsh temper. Tom runs a little souegee weekly down in place called Peoria, wher- ever that may be- He got wrapped up in balled hay and cotton until he nothing else but prod
 ucs of the garden and therefore what he says about the big copper mines and the Cooper newspapers" must be taken from the point of view of the man with dust in his eyes. After devoting about half
 age of diatribe to the Miner editor he proceeds to state as the truth just what the Miner stated to be the truth and then tries to make 1t appear as le
 Poor old Tom; how you can warp the truth without half trying We will take up the matter of the loss of the Salt River valley farmers and farms Tn 1o9O
 We admit that they were hard hit but that was 2o years ago. and if they failed to recuperate their ch
 dren should see that they go out of the business. In 1890 copper was worth about cents pound, si- yer was a drug in the market and lead and zinc yvera below cents And this condition continued for years and yet today, when the metals are bringing
 high price is there any reason why the mine opera
 tors should be taxed out of existence to allow the farmers with S5OOOO farms to be taxed at S1OOO But why go into the matter when we know that even the Peoria Enterprise would not pass up any of the vel low gold of the copper menace, if it came it's way

ANIERICANISN

The Kansas City Star looks ahead and sees great things to follow the sending of three four million American soldiers and Red Cross and ''Y" workers and engineers and builders to Europe to stay for year or more. In its vision it behOlds the following
 Europe never has become acquainted with Ameri- ca. Our ways to the European have been the ways of strangers and our customs have been outside his mental horizon.
 The millions of Americans who are going to live abroad for the next year two are going to change all this The European will receive liberal educa- tion in all things American.
 The time is coming when rubles and francs and lire and shngs and crowns all will be computed in terms of Yankee finance. The tourist of the future need never fear that the Neapoltan cabby will mis- understand an offer of "two-bits" to haul his Amer ican fare from one of the grand hotels the water front to the Gallery Nazionale. Nor need some of the younger American be surprised to get really truly United States ice cream cones when they ask for them in Paris instead of the present more formal business edible, creme glace. Then will no Sunday afternoon in the Bois de Boulogne be complete with out it's baseball game, and might well expect to see a goodly turnout of earls and dukes and such when the New York Giants cross bats with the Lon don Lions for the first game of real worlds series on Wimbledon Common or somewhere around Put ney Green. Indeed, it would occasion great sur prise if his majesty the king pitched the first ball. to inaugurate the event. with the lord mayor of Lon don on the receiving line" behind the home plate.
 It is only step farther to fancy ones self find ing good copy of Clusters Last Fight" in the Ma tional Gallery and an excellent likeness of John J Ingalls, in plaster at the British museum, while no doubt at the Winter Palace in Petrograd one will o0- serve handsome portrait of the man who will have established the Moscow-Shanghai Aerial Express; and in the Capitoline museum in Rome will be kept running miniature model of the first Liberty motor that carried United States aircraft over the Iyro- lean Alps to say nothing of several of the latest de signs of Henry Ford's new tractors
 In short the day is coming when American men, American methods and American goods will be known throughout the world, just as now American ideals rapidly are becoming known. With the United States leading in merchant marine, the time IS not far distant when wares stamped "AIade in America" logically will have supplanted those with that more odious phrase which was boastfully and too plainly becoming evident in every quarter of the globe on whatever article one touched, be it china clock or a birthday gift keyring.
 Americanizing the world need be no great task
 when vastly more than half the world already IS will ing to be Amercanized. Fortunately, the United States has no designs on other countries nor wants none of their territory yet the United States de- sires no copyright on American methods, Amer1cah sDirit and American happiness and freedom

THE SOLDIER VOTE

Among the measures passed by the late legislature was one making it possible for the soldiers in comments to vote for officers at the forthcoming cleo tons. The idea was all right, but as we look at 1t there will be complete failure in the carrying of it into effect. Practically every man who was en- titled to vote and who enlisted was drafted into the army is either the other side of the pond or will be when the elections held. It was use less waste of the time of the legislators and of the officers whose duty it is to ascertain the whereabouts of the men and furnish them with ballots.

COLDEsT SPOT ON EARTH

The coldest spot on the earth's sur face is near Werkhoansk, Siberia. There, it is said, "the eliminating point of excessive climate in all the world is reached" In other words, it is the pole of the greatest known cold. The lowest reading of the ther- mCmeter, taken by Sir George Mares, was noted there, 81 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
 For a long time it was supposed that Kakutsk, 400 miles from Werk- hojansk, was the coldest place in the world; recent observations, however, have exploded that notion. The soil at both of the places above mentioned is frozen to depth of nearly 400 feet. It Is believed to have been deposited in a frozen state during the glacial epoch, as no amount of cold could pen citrate the earth to such an enormous depth.-The Irish World.

NEW MILEAGE BOOKS

The government is soon to issue mileage books good over all roads, The rate of fare will be three cents Der mile or approximately the present rate, and will apply to eastern well as western roads. In the east where two roads reach the same places IL is understood that the shorter road will sell tickets based on mileage The idea of the mileage DOCK syS- tenn to be made applicable to all railroads IS one that has ben under consideration by the railroad manage oens for several years, but they had failed to put it into effect The system will remain in force after the war; even if the railroads go back to private own ership.

WILL CONTINUE CONSERVATION

VI AL4L ' O-N IN OE OONOEht A HUN
 A message has been received from Herbert ". Hoover, who is in Eng land, asking that there be no let down of food stufs and sugar. While he believes there would be plenty wheat to supply all demands for the year, yet there may be new calls upon US that will take every pound that can be spared. Cur country is going into this war on an enormous basis and and our every ally must be kept up to standard by the use of good food and it is up to us to furnish that food. We believe that many of the neutral nations will soon be on the verge of starvation and as a humane people we cannot see them die. And again, we will have to feed our Oriental allies nthe invasion of Siberia and help arm and feed a great Russian army for the beating down of German domin- ance in the east. We are in the war to win and We are going to win. And it is upto everyone to help conserve wheat and sugar until we ar told that the war is won.
