erons hold on Quay and on other lieu
tenants of the Quay stripe ended.
1t is hard to bequeath political power.
The Cameron dynasty in Pennsylvania
lasted half a century. But it owed its
long life to peculiar local and temporary
conditions. Quay couldn't establish
dynasty, although he tried to do so.
Freer party action and primary elections
have ended that sort Of thing. The
younger Cameron saw the end before it
came. He gave up politics and took to
farming.
In that ne was wise. He was we'll
qualified for the role he assumed-that
of semi-feudal political chieftain. He
essayed no other The feudal period in
politics passed away long since. The
younger Cameron's death at eighty-five
serves mainly to recall that departed era
and the somewhat sinister but really in
fluential part he played in it.

Shall Germany Have Ships?

Stories of the large amount of ship
building now going on in Germany may
be taken with several grains of salt.
There is no question as to the intention
and desire of the German steamship COM
panies--especially the two which had SO
large a share N the transatlantic trade
before the war 20 resume business when
the war is orer it'll fleet which will
give them eve advantage over their
possession Of considerable portion of
their tonnage it is obvious that much
new tonnage VII be needed to carry out
their plan. But even German energy and
efficiency have their limits, and it is diff
cult to believe that shipbuilding on an
unusual scale is possible in Germany
now. If it were the plans of the compa-
MES would stll be far from consumma-
ton. For it ) the Allied nations, and
not Germany, who will determine that
question.
No matter how many ships the Ger
mans may have when the war is over,
they cannot Go business with countries
that refuse to do business with them.
They cannot arry passengers who re
fuse to sail der the German flag or
cargoes which shippers refuse to forward
in German bot toms. Even if there were
Americans Englishmen or Frenchmen
base enough to forget the intolerable in
jures. the infamies, committed by Ger
man seamen. the vast ma jority would
unquestiona = sympathize with the posi-
tion of the British seamen's union,
which has already determined upon
boycott Of IN 'derers and pirates. There
was time hen the disposition to re-
sumo friend relations with Germans
after the war was rather alarmngly
prevalent, but that time has passed In
spite of paciist activities, the hardening
of the temper of all the Allied peoples is
becoming Increasingly manifest. The
battlefeds f France are carrying
mourning mo many homes. Germany
must pay TIE price to the uttermost
farthng.
Nor is this all Germany will not have
paid this price in the mere defeat of her
ambitions. /. will not be enough for her
to give up the plunder. She must pay for
the wrongs she has committed, so far as
they can be paid for. That is convic-
ton which is more and more biting into
the Aation consciousness, both with us
and our q s. 1t would be mockery
of justice leave Germany with the
ships she h; $ or may be building. One
should be taken from her for every ship
she has su without regard to law or
humanity.

bidding against the government for
materials
There is a prevalent impression that
heavy speculation in Wall Street clocks
up large amount of money or credit.
We doubt if at any extreme height its
bank loans ever amounted to 6 or 8 per
cent Of the total of the country. In the
last three years the loan total has in
creased perhaps ten or twelve times as
much as the largest expansion of specu-
'lative loans that ever took place. and
possibly twenty times as much as the
total Of speculative loans now. We do
not mean to encourage Wall Street or
any other kind of speculation. But this
feature Of Wall Street has never had
even small part of the Importance
which many persons have ascribed to it.

Money for Wall Street Gambling

Mr. Gates McGarrah, president Of the
Clearing House Association and acting
as chairman of the money committee,
issues sharp warning against any ex-
tensive use of credits for speculation in
stocks:
inc government in prosecuting the
war requires constantly increasing
amount OF money, and any disposition to
indulge in speculative COMMITMENTS based
on borrowed money, must Of necessity
lead % an increase in rates that will
prove corrective"
This action is highly commendabc and
We wish its spirit could be communicated
10 the whole of the nation. 1t is highly
desirable that the cost Of money to the
government should be kept low, but it is
very much more desirable that the cost
Of goods, labor and materials be likewise
Kept low
Even if the war piles up debt Of
50 billions, the interest charge would be
hardly 2 billions, and the difference in
any probable rate not more than half
billion. But II the price Of all goods
and services for the war be doubled the
cost will be increased by 25 billions or
more. Now, the direct way in which
this cost is raised il by a huge expansion
Of bank and other credits, which cnor-
mously expands the buying power Of
each individual, promotes every kind Of
extravaganza and sets TIE whole country

Self-Drafted

Legislation is undramatic. We do our
law-making on the prosais level Yet
there is something tremendously impos-
g-something which kindles the imagi-
nation-even in the matter -of-fact man
ner in which Congress has just passed
the new draft act-a measure without
any parallel in American history.
The passage of such an act rein orces
immensely our faith in the efficiency and
self discipline of democracy. 1t refutes
the doubters of year ago. 1t shames
the superficial conceptions which so many
of us entertained long after war began
to threaten us, the moral and spiritual
fabbness of rich, prosperous and bomb
proof loving America
The opinion was widespread then that
America would rather dodge the tests of
war than face them manfully. Conscrip-
ton was a tabooed word. Universal ser
vice was an idea which sent cold shivers
down the backs of the pacihsts and "anti
miIltarists," who controlled both branches
of Congress.
Our experience with conscription in
the Civil War had been dscouraging-
even mortifying. We still chung to the
idea that only volunteers should fight.
Yet within two months after we de-
clared war against Germany the prin
ciple Of conscription had been accepted
by the country without murmur The
draft system was applied and operated
by the people themselves, with only
slight general supervision from Wash
ington. And so intense was the will of
the nation to win the war that when it
was seen that still greater armies were
needed a popular demand for an extern
sion of the draft age limitations spon-
taneously arose. while the Administra-
ton still hesitated to make a complete
call on our unused man power
The people first were fully conscious
of the effort that will be required to win
the war. They have given themselves
intellectually to the task of winning
it. They have led, not followed They
have looked on the draft not as some
thing obnoxious, imposed from above, but
as rational means of equalzng war
service. They have taken conscription
IN its true sprit-as sensible method
of facilitating mass volunteering
We can imagine no more impressive
response than this to the great obliga-
ton which has been laid upon the coun-
! try. The American-unused to military
= compulsion-has accepted it cheerfullv
y and enthusiastically. He has accepted
1t not merely as a duty but as an op-
portunity. That is because this war is
his war and there is no deeper thought
IN his brain or in his heart than the
thought of victory
We are beginning to know ourselves.
And in nothing has our self-revelation
been more admirable than in our sober
and earnest recognition of the fact that
nothing must be allowed to Interfere with
the true American policy of "force to
the utmost

When the aircrafters began to be
lynched few months ago their unpar-
donable sin was to have failed with the
Liberty motor. That now is all forgot
ter because it wasn't true. John D.
Ryan, Director Of Air Service. who had
nothing to do with designing it or bring
ing it into production, says it is the peer
of alrplanc motors and that the ENGLISH
are relying on it in place of the Rolls
Royc production Of which has been dis
appo ting. The accusation now is that
the alrcrafters have failed with planes.
We can only hope that the failure in
planes will be comparable to the failure
in motors.

motor is designed, from my observation

MRS. CATHERINE BIND
 DIED TUESDAY EVENING.

Mrs. Katherine Bind, beloved wife of Edward M. Bind. manager of the Emerson Mine near Chloride, died on Tuesday evening, Dec. 3rd, death hav- ing resulted finally from an operation performed last May for removal of cancer. Evidently the progress of the cancerous growth was arrested but temporarily and about two weeks ago it began to attack her vital or gans, after which she sank rapidly.
 She was born in Austria in 1853 and was there married to MT. Bind in 1872. To this union three daughters were born, one of whom, Ida, survives and at present is teaching in the Chloride school. The family emigrated to America in 1880 and have made their home here ever since.
 Mrs. Bind was a believer in Christ and we'll known for her faithful dis charge of the many duties of wife and mother. The sympathy of the com muity is extended the husband and daughter who survive. On Thurs day at ten in the morning her remains were laid to rest in the Chloride cem- etsry there to wait the resurrection call. Brief services at the grave were conducted by P. s. Virgin.
 "It singeth low in every heart,
 We hear it, each and all
 A song of those who answer not, However we may call.
 They throng the silence of the street, We see them as of yore- The kind, the brave, the true, the sweet,
 Who walk with us no more. We see not, know not: all our way " Is night-with Thee alone is day; From out the torrents troubled drift, | Above the storm our prayers we lift r. Thy will be done.

COAST LINES RECOMMEND
 BY WILLIAM (. M'ADOO

D. M. Fulsom, who has been acting as fuel administrator for the Pacific coast, has recommended to William G. McAddo, through Mark L. Requa, the electrification of all railroads operat- ed in the mountain sections of the coast, he estimates saving in fuel of 3,062 200 barrels of oil annually. It is estimated that the saving in op- erating expenses, aside from that af- fected between the use of electricity and oil, will be $4,923,3OO. The cost of electrifying will be approximately $23 100000.
 The identification of these rail- roads would be along the same lines as those proposed by the Miner for the past several years, which covers the main and subsidiary lines of the San- ta Fe railroad from Colorado to Los Angeles, the power to be generated in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado by means of great dams and turbines. The cost of this installation would not be more than the estimated cost of the identification of the other coast roads and would be along safer and more extensive use of the power, as we consider that power for pumping water onto the valley lands of the north part of this state and to operate other industries could be developed. It would also result in the conservation of flood water of the watershed of the Colorado, river and bring under irrig- ation millions of acres of lands which do not get a normal fall of rain. N(n' other project that has been mentioned in, recent years compares with the daming of the river in the Grand Cam yon and the generation of power.

INFLUENZA RUNNING
 STRONG IN BISBEE

One hundred deaths and more than 5000 cases of influenza is the record for Bisbee since that disease hit the camp about two months ago. Bisbee has done everything possible to pre- vent the further spread of the dis ease, the big mining companies offer ing every service at their command to stamp it out. '
 Another camp that has been hard hit is Mogollon, New Mexico, 8 town of 200 inhabitants. . Every person in the camp has suffered from the dis ease. There were 57 deaths and ow- ing to the fact that none of the people were able to bury the dead miners had to be sent from neighboring camp to do the work. Doctors and nurses were sent in and the patients appear to be recovering.
