BRITISH GOLD MARKET
FICTITIOUS, Is CHARGE
Mining Official Tells Congress Stu
alton Is Running Ameri-
can Communities.

while the United States is main
tanning a wide open gold market.
Great Britain Is maintaining only
theoretical one" Joseph Il. Thomas,
treasurer Of the Cornucopia Mines
Company of oregon. yesterday told
members Of Congress in a letter from
his New York office.
THE situation is running whole
communities of Americans" Thomas
declares. This arrangement is not
only helping the British gold reserve
but IT is helping the British miner to
exist.
"The American miner is prevented
by his own government from taking
advantage OF the premium which
would exist IL other countries could
not purchase gold from the United
states treasury at a ixed price"
Thomas says the mining community
which he represents is about to be
abandoned because of the condition.

SUFFERED FOR HIS CURIOSITY
After Experience With Red Pepper
Grizzly Thought On!y of Reaching
the River Quickly.

Jim Cronin of Spokane, a mining
mar who is interested in a gold prop
erty in the Babine mountains, intends
il future to always make sure there is
pepper in his camping outfit. His
mine was recently closed down for the
winter, but Mr.. Cronin made a belated
visit there. just as he neared the
camp cabin he heard a terrible com
motion. The stout log walls shook,
the crash of the stove falling down,
and the clatter of pans and smaahin2
of tables and chairs caused him to APP
proach the place with caution. AS lie
drew near the door a mighty grizzly
bear dashed out and darted past him
like an avalanche going owe a preci-
pice. The animal was holding his
mouth open, his eyes shut, and was
heading as nearly as possible for the
river. Mr.. Cronin Investigated. He
found the interior of the cabin a
wreck. Lying on the floor was an
empty can that once contained a half
pound of red pepper. The bears teeth
marks were plainly visible on the
opened end. Mr.. Cronin thinks Bruin
first shifted, then snorted, and as a re-
suit filed lungs and mouth and eyes
with the fiery powder, after which he
sought madly to escape.

ZONES TO REPLACE FORTS
Done Away With in German
Town of Mayence.

In these days when the shadow Of
militarism, it is to be hoped, is be-
ginning to disappear in Germany, an
earnest feature of the transformation
is the fact that in the city of Mayence-
on-the-Rhine, a plan Is being carried
out to dismantle the old Notifications,
do away with them, and replace them
with homes, apartment houses, and
commercial structures. The work is
already well under way by the Ger.
mans under the direction of the
French army Of occupation. When
the last vestiges of militarism have
disappeared. Mayence may possibly
again renew it's ancient standing as
one Of the most interesting Of the
smaller European cities. One winter
afternoon, nearly sixty years ago, Rich.
ard Wagner was inspired by the spec
tacle of a gorgeous sunset beyond the
towers of Golden Mayence" to com.

this work were subsequently worked

Cost of Education

Based upon the number of pupils
present, during the fiscal year ending
June 20 last, it cost the State of New
Jersey 36 cents a day to educate each
scholar, according to the annual re-
port of the State Board of Education
which has just been given out to
the public. During the year the State
spent the sum of $30,854, 1858 to
operate the public school system in
which $685. pupils were enrolled.
This amount vas over $5,000,000 in
excess of the total expense for the
previous fiscal year. Of the entire
sum over $40, 900, 900 went for salaries
of teachers, superintendent and prin-
cipals, and pay of janitors and engin-
GERS was approximately 81, 000, 900.

Slipping

Reputation of his l|ieutenants dur
ing the legislative session earlier in
the year and defeat of his reputed
candidate for Speaker of the House in
the Republican caucus at Trenton last
week are believed to mark the break
ing Of United States Senator Edges
strangle hold upon the Republican or
ganization in New Jersey. The junior
Senator appears to have passed the
zenith of his influence in political
affairs in his home State. 1t seems
more than likely, too, that Senator
Edge, whose press bureau exploited
his personal intimacy with candidate
Harding, Immediately after the lat
ter's nomination for the Presidency,
will run a poor second to United
States Senator Frelinghuysen in get
ting the ear of the new President

ing the National Convention is not
likely to strengthen his influence at

Political Cancellations

Cancellation of orders is just now
the subject of bitter commercial com-
plant. 1t often amounts to repudia-
ton of a contract. But few stop to
think of the political cancellations go
ing on.
A prominent Republican at Wash
ington declares that the country is
suffering from a "lack of confidence"
Yet the Republican Party contracted
to make everybody both confident and
happy. Has it gone back on its
promise? 1t undertook to revise and
reduce taxes at once. But that order
it has cancelled. 1t agreed to bring
the highest order of talent and pru-
dence to the management of public
finance. Yet now it is considering a
resolution in Congress directing the
Reserve Bank to extend credit to
growers of cotton and wheat and
"other products"
This is virtually to put the bank in
politics. Do the Republicans wish to
be known as "welchers"?-N. Y.

LIST LEAGUE ASSEMBLY ENDED
Great Work Done For World Brother
hood And Humanity

The first meeting of the Assembly
of the League of Nations closed
Saturday evening, December 18th,
after being in session at the call OF
President Woodrow Wilson, since No
vember 18th. Forty-one nations were
represented at the first meeting which
was the greatest getting together of
all tribes on this terrestrial ball. The
barbarian tribes in Germany, Austria
and Mexico, and the tribe of political
towards in the United States were not
represented.
In farewell speeches, Paul Pymans,
President of the Assembly, and Giu-
seppe Motta, President of Switzerland,
told the delegates the first Assembly
had proved the League a living or
ganism and a success. The opinion
expressed by the delegates who par
ticipated most actively in the work is
that it did all that could be expected
of it, if not more.
NJ. Vivian, a French delegate said:
"The League cannot but congratu-
late itself on its action. Evidently, it
has not been able to regenerate and
revolutionize the world. Only the silly
formed such hopes for it. 1t has
cleared the ground before it of many
questions and can next year in the
shortest space of time accomplish its
iabors. 1t has proved its vitality by
action"
Speaking of the United States, M.
Viviani said that country showed a
sympathy which made it evident that
a closer union was possible.
N. w. Rowell, of the Canadian dele
cation, who has been prominent in the
session of the Assembly, said:
"The first assembly of the League
of Nations has satisfied it's friends
and disappointed it's enemies. It's
most significant feature is the fact
that for five weeks representatives
forty-one different nations have
found it possible to cooperate on a
great variety Of matters and inter-
national concerns and that as the AS
progressed it has developed
in an increasing measure a corporate
consciousness, a sense of power and
authority and the conviction that it
serves a great purpose. That guaran-
ices its future.
ats greatest achievement was a
permanent court of international JUS
ice. This was in itself a great step,
substituting reason for the sword as a
means for settling international dis
"In the space of five weeks the As
has accomplished more bust
than any parliament of any one

pace of time.

CHRISTMAS
The Happiest Day of the Year

December 25th is celebrated as the
day on which Jesus of Nazareth was
born at Bethlehem, in the Province of
Judea, in Palestine. Because of His
teachings and miracles performed He
is called the Lords anointed. Anoint-
ing was done by Chrism, which is
balm mixed with olive oil. Oil signi-
fes strength and balm signifies free
dom from corruption and the sweet
ness which virtue gives to our lives.
Amounting with Chrism signifies the
indweIling spirit of God. The spiritual
God of Abraham was designated by
the word Eloi. At the time of Moses
God became designated by the word
Jehovah.
Jesus was a lineal descendant from
Abraham. He is classed as the great
est Hebrew prophet and the Messen-
ger of God, Jehovah. He gave a new
Commandment. Glove one another"
and a new code of ethics in His Ser
mon on the Mount. While He came
to fulfill TIE law and live it He taught,
that the 1%.3tive, the Supreme Mind,
was the fundamental to consider.
He has the honor of making Judaism
originally a tribal religion, to become
a universal religion.
To the gentiles he has been sub
stituted for all pagan gods. Hence he
is called God, and Judaism has become
a universal religion with different in
t~erpretations as a manifestation.
From the word Chrism has come
the words cream and Christian. Chris
tians are those who believe in and
practice the moral principles of Jesus,
the Christ. Whether Jewish prophet,
messenger of Jehovah OF God mani
tested in human flesh, his moral teach
ings are the greatest and His birth
day is more worthy of commemoration
than that of any other man.
