 price started rising. As an ally :, .ha war the United States government wa compelled to interfere and set an ex port price on silver at s1o11L an ounce, which was higher than Great Britain had ever permitted it to ro put not as high as American rninal owners liked. iiiiiie-
 Ihen' as the demand for the metal peeaihe acute, and it was also needed eo meet our own adverse trade balance Wlth India, congress passed what is known as the Pittman act a1,thor,zi,,s .he secretary of the treasury to melt down 350,000,000 silver dollars hold ,, the vaults of the treasury and to san the bullion. The silver certificates ont standing against these dollars were to De previously retired and their place IT the circulation to be taken by notes issued by the federal reserve banks secured py special deposits of United states treasury certificates. a&
 This kept the price of silver $ 6U Tor the period of the war, but upon t.t signing of the arnistice the export re- striction was removed Immediatelv the price of silver started soaring 1in- til last December it reached the m precedented figure of s1.33 an ounca EVerybody began melting down his sil- Yer heirlooms for bullion. which sold et | ornaments bought in the years 1904 and 1905, when silver was selling at from 52 to 50 cents an ounce, suddenly l became worth twice as much r. looked as If whole fortunes were to be made in old spoons and knives and forks But in a short time the silver bubble burst.
 The Flood of Bullion
 For Europe also had plenty of silver | lhelTlOOmS and cni0C try, including Germany. started flood ing the market with bullion from these sources. Then came the Japanese panic, which hit the market hard be cause good deal of trade through China and India is handled by Japan. The price of silver once more declined until it reached S1. Here the Unified States government once more inter- fered and guaranteed it to remain at this figure by agreeing to buy the sil- yer necessary to replace the dollars taken from the treasury during he war
 Thus today there are two prices ssI5f silver-one in this country, and one for the rest of the world, set by the same old group of brokers in London. London no longer controls the price for American silver, however. which 1t l must buy at loss.
 With this government guarantee the [ production of silver is now profitable enough to cause the old mines to re-
 sume operation and new sources to be sought. Throughout Utah and Ne 2 vada whole villages which have slept
 peacefully for decades are coming back
 to life with renewed vitality. Camps X whose names would have been forgot ten but for Mark Twain are now re- . ceiving daily notices in the mining p press; people are again seen about Q their streets, and houses so long de

 When an older man speaks in public to his juniors it is usual expect advice He must tellz them how to order their lives. And so he descants on this virtue and on that which seem to him import and appropriate.
 This is often interesting and sometimes useful. But there is always the danger that some all of what he says will be taken to heart by the wrong members of his audience.
 Let him speak of splendid feats of courage, and the foolhardy amongst his hearers will determine to outdo them, while the timid feel all the more that they queer" and out of the running

 Let him tell of the debt owed to parents and teachers and the wrong member of the audience responds and overdoes his devotion, while the selfish fellow it meant for simply does not listen or announces that he should
 Thus there is always danger of preaching to the converted who would be better off without it.
 Perhaps the remedy is not to preach at all, but to interest and explain If people understand them selves and the situations that confront them. they can generally trusted to work out their ways of acting.

BUFFERS BUNCOMBE

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler of New
York, President of Columbia University,
has stated that ''motley group of stock
gamblers, oil and mining promoters, mu-
milton makers, and other like persons"
backed Gen. Woods campaign for the
Republican presidential nomination., and
started out to purchase it for him. To
this statement Gen. Wood has replied by
falsehood,' and added that it was neces-
sary to "brand a faker and denounce
lie. " If they have not yet done so, these
two explosive gentlemen will some day
realize that by reason of the above state
ments they have fallen greatly in the
estimation of the people of the United
States. Both of them have taken the
short road out of politics. 1t is well
known that Gen. Woods managers spent
a large sum of money in his behalf. One
witness before the committee which in
vestigated the matter confessed that he
had contributed half million dollars to
the Wood campaign fund. There was no
evidence whatever which tended to show
that dollar of the Wood campaign fund
came from the ''motley crew" or that a
dollar was used for unlawful or corrupt
purposes. If DR.. Butler has discovered
any evidence to substantiate his state
ment, to save his own reputation, he
should lose no time in putting it before
the public. We had strenuously con-
tested pre-convention campaign, but dur
ing its pro gress neither did any candidate
nor did any prominent man among their
adherents, cast any reflection upon any
public or private act of Gen. Wood. We
believe Gen. Wood is an honest man We
feel that he made mistake, fatal to his
candidacy, when he allowed anyone to
make large donation to his campaign
fund, and we fear that his failure to make
calm and disnified denial of the charges
of DR.. Butler was mistake which will be
remembered after the other has been for
gotten.

North Waldo Pomona Grange

North Waldo Pomona Grange was en-
tertained by Burnham and Sebasticook
Oranges at Burnham village June 9th.
Worthy Master F. P. Webb presided with
the Overseer, Lecturer and Secretary
present. Other officers were temporarily
appointed. The regular routine of busi-
ness and degree work occupied the time
of the forenoon session after which re-
oranges had prepared. The menu and
service were all that could be desired and
were highly appreciated, especially by
those who had arrived by train after a
hastily eaten breakfast.
Dean L. S. Merrill of the U. of M. ar
rived at the close of the noon hour and
the meeting was re-assembled in due sea-
son. After selection by the choir, Nell
lie Shaw, Lecturer of Burnham Grange,
extended fraternal greetings in behalf of
the entertaining Oranges and E. I. Gil
bert briefly responded for the visiting
members.
A reading by Vina Cole was followed
with short talk by E. E. Davis on the
subject "What will Keep the World from
Starvation, if the Farmer is Compelled to
Adopt the Eight hour Day?" Dean Mer-
rill was introduced at this point and gave
fine address, his subject being, "Agri-
cultural Education" He reviewed the
agricultural work of the State Universe
ty from the time of its institution, con-
trasting the merely theoretic practice of
the early days with the practical work
now being done by agricultural students.
He also gave figures showing the good
work done by the extension college
through county agents. His remarks
were received with appreciation and the
usual courtesies extended to him.
A vocal duet by Verdilla Pease and
Vina Cole, with piano accompaniment
by Rose Gray received merited applause.
A five minute talk, Some features of
conservation made necessary by the war
that should be retained, by Maude Mud
gett, was full of sensible suggestions and
she closed her remarks with an appro-
pirate poetic selection.
The topic, Does the farmer understand
the cost of production as we'll as he should
in order to demand a fair price for his
products? was opened by F. A. McAllister
and the discussion was continued by E.
L. Gilbert, E. E. Davis, Dean Merrill and
Worthy Master Webb. All who spoke
were of the opinion tnat if the farm &C.
counts system, introduced by county
agents, is adopted generally by the farmer
he will have better idea of the business
side of farming.
The literary exercises were concluded
with the closing of the discussion and
the customary vote of thanks was ex-
tended to the entertaining oranges for
their hospitality.
The next meeting will be with Morn
Ing Light Grange, Monroe, June 80. An
interesting program has been prepared
along educational lines and E. T. Clifford

tee will be the speaker of the day.-Clara

SIMS.DANIELS

A few months ago Admiral Sims made
damaging charges against Mr.. Daniels,
Secretary of the Navy, and the latter
countered by making similar charges
against Admiral Sims We have read
most of the testimony taken by Senate
committee which spent considerable time
in an effort to place the blame for wrong
doing, if any there had been, where it
belongs. Both of the contestants testified
before the committee and to the shame of
both it may be said that neither of them
added to his reputation. Indeed it can be
said that occasionally the controversy
descended to the level of spat between
two irate school boys Some of the testi-
mony showed Admiral Sims in very bad
light and, in two instances at least, that
the neglect of Secretary Daniels to do the
right thing at the right time was abso-
lutely inexcusable. 1t appears that on
one occasion Admiral Sims cabled the
navy department that after stated date
a submarine might be expected in Ameri-
can waters to sink shipping. Sec'y Dan
iels gave no prompt warning. American
vessels were allowed to sail to the waters
threatened and within three days after
the date named ten American ships were
sunk and few days after few survivors
reached port and then Sec'y Daniels woke
up and warning was issued. A month
later Admiral Sims sent another cable
gram saying that another U boat was
coming about three weeks later, and for
the second time no warning was given
Six days after the day named, the sub
marine had arrived, and began to sink
vessels. 1t is said, on what seems to us
to be good authority, that the two warn
ing cablegrams are on record in the navy
dep ,rtment. If they are on record and
Mr.. Daniels did not at least issue warning
his neglect was worse than inexcusable.
Whatever the facts may be in the Sims
Daniels controversy it is safe to say that
if we were about to engage in another
transatlantic war, it is extremely I'M
likely that the people of the United
States would desire either of these word
warriors to have any part in the prepara-
ton, disposition or control of the Amerl-
can navy.
