Lead and Zinc Mines
Made Mem Worlds Record

MIAMI, Dec. 8O.---In Il county
which shipped more than $4,000
GOO worth Of lead and zinc ore in
IL months the development Of the
mines which produced this are
naturally is the outstanding accom-
pishment of the year. The okla
homa- Kansas mining district. Tor
merly known as the tri-state district
when Missouri mines were being
operated on a large scale, produced
more than s25, 100000 worth or ore
during the past II months. Prac-
tlcally all Of this metal was taken
from mines in ottawa county and
small strip bordering on the north
ern part Of the county near the
Kansas state line.
An increase in the price OF zinc
from less than $50 per ton to more
than twice that figure and a cor
responding increase in the price or
lead to $40 per ton brought about
a remarkable development In the
lead and zinc mining industry and
the camp north OF Miami is now
declared to be as thriving as In the
early days when the rich field was
first revealed.
1t !s impossible to estimate the
expenditures which have been made
since the increase in ore prices
brought about reopening Of many
mines which had been abandoned.
That figures would run into millions
is asserted by conservative mining
engineers. Many new mills have
been built and a number Of them
cost between 100000 and $500. 900.
The next event Of Importance in

Pick Up the Knitting.

A young woman at the church sewing society
observed that she had completely forgotten how
to knit, and that she supposed we had better
have another war, SO that she might learn again.
Bless her jolly little soul, she did not realize
how well she had epitomized the main trouble
of the postwar world. We have all forgotten
how to knit. When the need was on us the
needles flew swiftly and surely in and out. The
minds and hearts and actions OF all Americans
were drawn together as was the yarn. In every
allied country it was the same. =
Life in those days had a purpose, and every
muscle and every thought was bent toward its
accomplishment. Now there are almost as
many conflicting purposes as there are people.
The interests of no two nations are in agree
ment Then men were heroes and most of those
left at home, self-sacrihcing.
There was no unemployment, and for the
time it seemed that poverty had been abolished
Railroads, mines, farms and factories were
viewed as means to an end rather than the end
itself. Flushed with new hope and filled with
the conviction that the casualties overseas were
not in vain, it was heard on every hand that the
world would never slip back into the old petty
ways. England, Lloyd George exclaimed, was
to be land fit for heroes to live in. The same
thought was in every mind, on every tongue, in
every ear.
That spirit Of devotion is past. The world
has forgotten how to knit and instead is uil>
rayelng The gains of the war are. being lost
and world which might be richer, is poorer,
both in spirit and in goods The failure is only
in part that Of the people, and in large measure
is the fault OF leadership. 1t is time for states
men to attend once more to their knitting.

Hazard Of a Fiireman's $ Life.

An awful flame swept amazingly through an
open doorway and twelve fremen tumbled,
singed, scorehed, blistered, cooked down stair
way up which they had battled their way through
suffocating smoke to get at the fire. 1t was
hazard Of the game, Each man knew he was
taking SOME kind Of chance as he advanced
with the nozzle. but that was not the idea. Each
knew that to get the fire under control it must
be attacked at its center, and that is what they
were aiming to get at. What waited beyond the
smoke was another matter. The building was
ane that held no promise of dangerous ex-
plosjon, but out Of the room the men entered
came blast that swept them away. In hos
ritals and home these men arc today suffering;
one Of them may not recover. The simplest
statement of the fact is the most eloquent; the
incident itself carries the most emphatic pre-
scntation of the case. The fireman, like the po-
liceman, Is in perpetual danger when on duty.
He risks his life to guard property, and he de-
serves to have credit accordingly When you
next hear somebody criticizing the fire DEPART
ment and descanting on the soft time its mem
hers have, just recall that burst of fame at the
Gardner building.

which is to be presented as portion of the celc

from which we have abslained because OF the fact

which in the past the great eommoner has so

In 1898 he resigned his commission as colonel
OF the Third Nebraska that he might hasten to
Washington TO advise his party members in the
senate TO ratiiy the Treaty OF Paris, that the
Philippine question might be made an issue be-
tore the country. In 1900 he was candidate
for president on a platform in which an,i-m-
periasm was the paramount issue. In 1908 he
proposed that We seuttle out OF the Philippines,
that we might avoid all enangling alliances. As
secretary OF state he advocated the policy OF
isolation, advising Americans resident in Mexico
and elsewhere to return home, abandoning their
property and interests wherever or whatever
they might be, that America might not be both
cred by protecting them outside its borders. lie
resigned as secretary OF state because he could
not consent 10 the United States standing up for
its rights, and now he wants to turn his back OH
all this and thrust this country into the. very
middle OF the European muddlc.
1t will be noted, however, that Mr.. Bryan is
anxious to impose his policy on republican ad-
ministration president chosen because he
openly opposed just what the peerless leader
now advises be done. How would Mr. Harding
look il he abandoned his own position, and that
OF his party, and took on the Bryan program?
1t is possible that the great champion OF anything
to defeat the republicans may justify his re-
cantation OF his own record, but he is scarcely
simple enough TO think he is to be permitted to
outline path for the republicans to follow.
As to Genoa, the United States is taci,ly
pledged to accept whatever basis OF settlement OF
European differences may be reached there, so
long as the interests Of this country are not
materially affected thereby. This is true appca-
ton of the doctrine Of self-determina,ion

A "Safe" Presidents
Dilemma
DIt6WCWU

If the republican party fails through lack Of
leadership it will have no right to complain. 1t
selected Mr.. Harding as its candidate chiefly
because he was disposed to be complaisant. His
nomination was brought about by an extremely
complicated group Of considerations and forces,
but his chief qualification in the eyes Of most
of the republican politicians was his lack of
initiative. They wanted, above everything else,
safe president, and they succeeded in picking
man who is so safe that from the point OF
view of party success he is dangerous. If they
can not obtain from him the kind OF leadership
which is decisive and aggressive enough to pull
them together it is their own fault. In spite Of
Mr.. Harding's conciliatory disposition and his
sincere desire to work with congress and his
party associates, he can not and will not allow
himself to remain in his present humiliating po-
sition. In the interest of the success OF his ad-
fninistraton and the welfare OF his party he
must either reach better understanding with
congress or create an issue on which he can ap-
peal from congress to the people.-New Re-

Box Cars All Of One Size.

Complete Standardization and control OF all
freight carrying equipment is now proposed as
solution for the transportation problem. This
might be possible and bring the anticipated re-
suits, were all the freight to be carried equally
standardized. So long as there is variation in
the material to be hauled, difference in the size
of packages, in the quality Of goods shipped,
there is need for the specialized cars and con-
tainers devised to accommodate the particular
business. 1t is conceivable that box car may
be designed that will be efficiently available for
hauling wheat, corn, cotton or coal, but such a
car would not be as efficient when it came to
