THE GREAT JUNKET

Before President Wilson departed fol
Europe he requested Congress to make
an appropriation of $4,000, 900 to pay the
expenses of his personally appointed and
self-conducted group of excursionists.
Congress did not grant his request, but
this did not deter Mr.. Wilson from going
with greater display of ostentation than
the world had ever before seen in connec-
ton with an official mission Although
his Democratic Congress did not make
provisions for paying the expenses. he
knew that the newly elected Re publican
Congress would realize that the honor of
the nation required that the piper should
be paid when its representatives dance
with foreign nobility. Five million dol
lars is large sum of public money to be
spent without authority to do so. 1t is
such large sum that the interest on it
for one year at four and one-fourth per
cent would pay the entire State, county,

It seems probable that food prices will
continue to advance for at least six
months, or until the crops of 1919 are
harvested. Owing to the exigencies in
Europe and minimum prices in the United
States, we cannot expect any other result.
While food products are increasing in cost
labor can be no cheaper and of course
there can be no recession of prices in
coal, clothing and other necessities.

A few days ago editor Chadbourne of

say about the '1eague of nations" One
of his readers called his attention to the
typographical error which he thought had
occurred. Oh, no, said Chad, Il meant

Here is anotherl An exchange quoted
one OF President Wilson's peace points as

private international UNDERSTANDINGS Of
any kind but diplomacy shall proceed al
ways frankly and in the public view )"
Doplomacy"-We do not find that
word in the dictionary but we presume it
means the practice or art of dealing cut
verbal dope, and it's use above suggests
much.

thorough investigation of the shooting of

Mexlcans have been sni ping across the

they have made repeated raids into the
State of Texas, where they have killed

Sending our fleet to Mexico did not terri

ask why should an investigation be

LEAD PRODUCERS COMMITTEE.

Engineering and Mining JournaD
The lead producers committee for

giving brief history Of the activities
OF the several organizations that were
formed by the lead producers Of the
United States, both to aid the govern
ment in its purchases of pig lead and,
later, 10 take charge Of the distribu-
ton Of the supply, this historical
sketch having been prepared at the
request of the historical branch of the
general staff of the war department.
Prepared by Arthur X. Mitchell, Sec
rotary of the committee, it gives
concise and accurate account of what
was done by the lead producers. be-
ginning with April, 1917, and ending
with December. 1918 1t makes a very
gratifying record.
This was a case III which the whole
business was left to the producers

work was borne by the producers
They secured for the government its
supply of lead on very economical
terms. On numerous occasions the
producers generously sacrificed them
selves in the interest of the govern
ment. Whenever an agreement con-
ditional upon future conditions had
been drawn, the producers lived up to
1t so long as it was in favor of the
government but If it turned in favor
of themselves they waived their
rights. With the government it was
case of 'heads l win, tails you lose"
With this generous and excellent
management so much of which was
due to the intelligent leadership of
Clinton H. Crane, president of the ST.
Joseph Lead company, the lead pro-
ducers had the satisfaction of seeing
their industry enter into the chaotic
postwar period in a far better condi-
ton than any other of the major met
al industries. The history of the lead
industry during the war will always
be a shining example of the advantage
of trusting to the patriotism of people
even if they be interested and letting
the men of an industry do the things
that they, best of all, know how to do.

400 TONS OF SILVER

PROFlT-VALUED AT
$9,6o0,0oo

-Four hundred tons of silver bullion
was being put into the hold of the Pa
cific Mail liner Ecuador this week al
the pier at the foot of Brannan street
san francisco, says a correspondent
OF the Denver Mining Record. The
steamship will transport the treasure
the value of which is estimated rough :
ly at $9,600,000, to Hongkong. 1t is
going in settlement of bills contracted
In the orient by British and American
merchants for silk, rubber, hemp and
other oriental products.
Although the United States govern
ment has been keeping the strictest
tab on the expectation of silver in the
last few months, only allowing it to be
sent out in payment of legitimate in
debtedness, the flow of the metal to
China, Japan and India is so steady
tbat conservative bankers are wonder
ing what the outcome win be.
Government Steps In.
When the price of silver was going
Wy Gnu UP some time ago over the
world, Uncle Sam stepped in to pre-
vent demoralizing speculation in the
white metal and fixed its price for the
United States at $101M an ounce al
though 1t is at big premium in the
orient. The move of the United States
Is said to have helped British mer-
Grants enormously. In its financial
edition the London Times said as to
the action by the government of this
country; 'The Americans rose to the
occasion nobly"
Each of the bars to be taken ont on
the Ecuador weighs 100 ounces, The
value here at the government fixed
price is s1100. After the voyage across
the Pacific and dumped on wharf AZ |
Hongkong, it is as though an Aladdin
waved his wand above the metal. 1t
is not transmitted into gold, rubies or
sapphires, but remains silver with a
value of $500 or $500 more than when
1t set out on its journey. why should
not the producers Of silver In the
united states nave this profit rather
than give 1t to the British merchant
at Hongkong?
Ships 100000 Bars.
In the past year a bank on Califor-
MA street has shipped 100000 bars to {

The possibility Of silver coins dis
appearing from the currency Of this
country Is considered by experts as
little likely to come to pass. They say
If the supply should begin to get low
the silver mines could easily make up
any deficiency. The Chinese and the
Hindoos must have coins, as for ages
they have been habituated to metal as
the only true wealth. The japanese
have more or less taken to the ex-
