MINING CONVENTION URGES
 ACTION TO AID GOLD MINING

PORTLAND, April 9-The third annual convention of the Internation- al Mining congress, which came to a close in this city today, devoted all of yesterday to a discussion of the gold question and, at the con- clusion of the discussion the dele gates gave their unanimous approval to a resolution indorsing the McFad- den gold bonus bill.
 Numerous speakers declared em- phatically that it is necessary for the Government to take steps to re- vive the gold mining industry, and w. J. Loring, president of the Amer ican Mining congress, declared that mining men "must stand together in supporting a measure that will keep gold mining on the map. It doesn't matter whether it is the McFadden bill or a measure bearing some other name, so long as its purpose is the stimulation of gold production"
 Fletcher Hamilton, of California, also spoke along the same lines, pointing out that "mines which pro- duced millions in the past and which should produce millions more, have been shut down, and reduction plants worth kings ransom, are left to the mercy of the elements. "
 The American delegates in at tendance at the convention yes terday secured the passage of a resolution favoring a tariff for the protection of American lead, zinc, mercury and other minerals, and also favoring the Pittman act for the stabilizing the price of silver.
 Another resolution adopted by the convention yesterday urged railway rate reductions on minerals and min- eral productions, and recommending an investigation of the .so-called power trust, and the standardiza- tion of blue sky laws. The resolu- ton denounced the blue sky measure introduced during the last session of Congress, urged the repeal of the grazing and homestead act, and in- dorsed the plans for the national exposition at Chicago next October.
 The matter of drafting national blue sky act, governing the opera tions of promoters and stock com panies, was referred by the conven- tion to the American Bar associa- ton.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
THE PROPHETS

The wise old prophets of the ring
now figure in the daily news and
they explain, like everything. why
Carp will win or why he'll lose.l
These seventh sons of seventh sons
are always here to guide us right
whenever pugilistic ones are sched-
uled for a drastic fight. The mantle
of Elijah falls upon the wise men
of the ring, and every dead game
sport recalls that prophet-eering has
its sting. For if the prophets all
unite to say that Jack will win n
scrap, and Jack is beaten in h fight
how shall each prophet save MS
map? The prophets told me, years
ago, that Willard had a lead pipe
cinch, and after seven rounds or SO.
Door Jack would be too dead to
pinch. And so I wagered all my
means according to the prophet,s
rede. and when the winners got their
beans my bank account was gone
to seed. The prophets said. in days
of old, that Corbett was the prince
of blows, and he would knock Fftz-
Simmons cold, among Nevada's
CHASTITY SHOWS. And so. to bet on
Jim's success, I put my watch and
COW in soak; conceive my subse-
uuent distress-I never was so badly
broke. 1 shall not bet on Jack or
Carp, no matter what the prophets
say; while they predict I'll tune my
harp, and spring a mad and merry
lay.

TAFT FOR CHIEF JUSTICE

President Harding's announcement that he
has chosen former President Taft to be chief
justice of the United States Supreme Court and
the prompt confirmation of the appointment by
the senate comes as no surprise to the country.
Mr.. Taft's name has been uppermost in every
ones thoughts ever since the vacancy on the
supreme court bench occurred. While several
other eminent lawyers have been mentioned,
net one has come up to the availability of WILL
lam Howard Taft.
That the appointment gives a great deal of
satisfaction everywhere is evident from the fav-
orable comment heard on all sides and in the
press of the country. The President has not
acted hastily in the matter. He has apparently
given careful consideration to the appointment,
az he should, because of the importance of the
position. That he has been able to find no one
who measured up to Mr.. Taft in all around
qualifications is not surprising. The only really
big man mentioned in connection with the chief
iusticeship besides Mr.. Taft was Charles e.
Hughes and he is so essential to the country In
his present position as secretary Of state In the
Presidents cabinet that he, in a sense, might
be considered not available.
The supreme court has been greatly strength
ened by the appointment Of Mr.. Taft. President
Harding has acted wisely and for the best In
,erest Of the country. The President is more
and more showing himself to be a good judge
Of men. His administration bids fair to be a
decided success because of his ability to thus
select the right persons for. the places that he
has to fill.

THAT MATAWAN CREEK BRIDGE

Prospects for eliminating the detour and get
ting back on the main highway between South
Amboy and Keyport this summer are not very
bright. When it was announced that the bridge
over the Matawan creek at Keyport had to be
rebuilt, it was said that work would not be start
ed until after Labor day so as not to Interfere
with the summer travel to the coast resorts.
The fact that the road between South Amboy
and Kevport was already closed because of paw
ing work that was going on was no argument, it
seems, for rebuilding the bridge at the same time
40 as to have all finished together because it was
announced that the road would be open to Key
port in time for the Fourth of July traffic. Now.
it appears, there is not the slightest chance 1or
having the road open by the Fourth of July, and
every indication points toward the paving WORK
keeping the road closed all summer.
But, according to present plans, just ABOUT
the time the road is finished and ready for traf-
ac, work will be started on rebuilding the Mata-
wan creek bridge so that 1t will be necessary TO
use the present detour, about which SO much
fault is found, all through the fall and winter
and possibly next spring as well.
Common sense would dictate that if the road
between South Amboy and Keyport is going to
be clos =. for paving work all summer. the WORK
on the bridge might as well be going on at the
same time so as to make one closing OF the road
do for both. why wait until the paving IS mn
jshed before starting on the bridge when the
detour has got to be used anyway?
II the Keyport road is going to be closed the
greater part of the summer. as it now appears
no time should be lost in starting the work Oh
rebuilding the Matawan creek bridge so as 10
get it finished as quickly as possible ana give
the people a chance to go to the snore ONCE
without making some disagreeable detour.

@. We are bothered with crickets

low Is degrees, and the night tenn
perature in summer is below that
figure at any considerable eleva-
ton. This is also true of portions
of Spain, a few points on the Med

ton, even at ordinary temperature.
The oxidation produces heat which
soon raises the temperature of the
platinum until 1t CLOVIS and lights
the gas.

This is not President Harding''s
country, nor Senator Lodges country.
but our country, the country OF every
American citizen.
No Democratic Senator should vote
to reject President Hardings peace
treaty for the purpose of putting the
President in hole. That would be
following the bad example of the Re-
publican Senators. Democrats should
not permit partisanship or a desire
for revenge to influence them in vot-
ing for or against the treaties now
before the Senate. What is best for
our country under present conditions
should be their sole guide. This lis
their country and our country, and in
this connection our means all of us,

TWO BILLION SHRINK IN NATION
AL Rank DEPOSITS

National bank-deposits at the close
of the fiscal year, June S0th, 1921
were s2,113, 100000 less than they were
June 80, 1920. During the same period
there was adecrease in the resources
Of tfe Federal government amounting
to s2.554,OOO,OOo.
There are some who will not readily
understand the magnitude of $2,Il5.-
100000. Estimating the population ol
the country at 1O0,00o,0O0, this de-
crease in bank deposits would equsi
S21.13 for every man, woman and child
in the country. The report from which
these figures are taken makes no
mention of the loss of deposits by
State banks. They will quite likely
equal those of the national banks.
