DISCOVERIES WHICH MAKE
TUT'S TOMB LOOK LIKE soc

The recent new discoveries of large
bodies of copper ore in the Miami
district are creating a new interest in
the entire district.
The discoveries made have been
found at greater depths than mining
operations have taken place hereto
fore. This all goes to indicate that
the previous conceptions as to the ex-
tent of the naturalization of this dis
trict must go into the scrap heap.
New conceptions based along the
lines of the suggestions made by DR..
Frederick L. Ransome, geologist of
the United States geological depart
ment, must take its place.

SCUTTLlNG THE SHIPS

The Democratic party and its
cCadjutors in Congress who for the
time possess Republican credcnti-
ais arc going about scuttling the
merchant fleet which cost the tax
payers three billion dollars as though
they were willing and anxious to
bear the responsibility. Their at
titude meets approval from owners
of foreign shipping SO perhaps for
the moment they think this is all
they require.
Net Only do they reject the Presi-
dents plan, which promises the only
feasible way out of Government
ownership Of the fleet but they
would deny the money necessary for
the government to keep it alive.
And they do this without presenting
any workable substitute plan. The
government is meeting with an an
nual deficit of fifty millions in keep
ing the fleet yet these opponents of
the ship subsidy will neither suggest
an alternative nor provide the
money. All this must indeed be very
satisfactory to those who have their
money in foreign shipping but to
those who entertained a vision Of a
restored American marine following
the war and the salvaging of some
Of the many millions the country
was forced to put into shipping the
outlook is not encouraging.

ABOUT BOYDEt!

Secretary Hughes having explained
to the Honorable Senate through the
medium OF the chairman of the
Scnatc's Foreign Affairs committee
about that man Boydcn, the dis
tinguishcd complainants VIII have to
turn to some other variety of fault
finding. We may he sure they will
find fault. They never apologize for
finding fault in the wrong place or
at the wrong time. They would have
the people regard the Senate as i'm
pccc2h,c. Them days has gone
and if that distinguished body per-
sists in its pifIiing they never will
return.
But about Boydcn. 1t was very
desirable if Ect necessary that the
state department should have an OBJ
server on the spot. someone in touch
with the rcnaration commission.
There is matter of two hundred and
fifty million dollars which Germany
owes this country on account OF its
watch on the Rhine. Furthermore an
Ia tilisitI ONiNN-t VI tl'S utoN''to-
, sions might be invaluable to the
/ state department. so great that the
cos of the mission would he i'm
material. although as 4 matter e. fact
it appears to have been trifing.
BoyGon had experience presumably
fitting him for the position and was
selected. He seems 20 have per-
formed his duties, his nistak1 being
! in doing more than he was authorized
to do. 1t must be rather difficult to
refrain from saving something of
that which ones associates are try
ing to get one to say. Eoydcn was
inGiscrcct enough to say that re-
.. prsals by France were legal though
Undertaken in error of judgment.
Even that is not sustained by his in
structions from the State department,
though no harm appears to have been
done but for the waste of time in
the Senate which already has more
of pressing matters to consider than
it is likely to dispose OF. But speaking
of expense. this of keeping the Sen
ate in session to crafty the desire
of certain Of its members in the
matter of vainelolious speech is
somewhat expensive as we'll as tire
! some.

lndestructibIe Religion


President Harding's letter to the
American Hebrew Congregations
struck note higher than sect or race
He dWclt upon the need of a revival
of the true ideals of religion among
all peoples everywhere in the world
BY implication. at least, he expressed
agreement with many observers in
various countries who have feared
that the modern world is drifting
away from its religious moorinss
High expectations were cherished by
many that the war would quicken
and deepen religious emotion. Even
before the war there were those in
France. some Of them her intellectual
leaders. who were preaching the need
of n return to the religious conception
of life as sort of patriotic duty.
During the long and cruel struggle
it seemed urdoubtcd that the ankle
ties and miSeres of millions of people
led them to n kccner sense Of their
personal dependence upon God. 1t
was hoped that this might lead later
to a great new Towering of the re-
ligious spirit. Apparently it has not
done so.
Yet the President is undoubtedly
right in saying that great multitudes
cling with fervor to the fundamentals
of religion. and wait only to be in
structed and led in their application
to life. 1t probably is not true, as a
New York clergyman would have us
believe. that the young men of today,
especially those in college, are keen
on the nice points of theological con-
troversy, and make distinctions be-
tween ministers of religion who are
"reactionary" and those who are
most up to date. There is. however,
much evidence going to show that
young men are peculiarly open to re-
ligious appeals that are simple, manly
and direct. and that go to the essen
tials of clean living, unselfish action
and conduct shaped as ever under the
Great Taskmaster's eye. Whatever
the changing forms Of faith and wor-
ship as times change, the spirit of
religion itself stands behind them all,
as indestructible as ever. For insist
ing upon this truth and calling for its
wider realization. President Harding
merits all the attention and praise
that his letter will receive,

THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM
1t would he idle to deny that qucs

1t would he idle to deny that quCS-
| tons arising in connection with our
immigration laws constitute prob
| lem, although we think it unwise to
attempt at this time the solution of
it. Usually a let-alonc policy is not
to be commended for progressive
administration of affairs but time is
, , Il wonderful solvent. 1t accomplish
| cs far more in the long run than
cratory. 1t is accomplishing some
thing with this immigration problem
if certain indicators may he trusted.
We refer to the report that under
the present law there has been a
very noticeable trend, an increase
in the number of the dcsira bic i'm
Migrants seeking this country. From
tho first OF last July to the tenth of
this month Sweden has sent 5000
where all Of the previous wear she
sent but 5000; England sent Al 900
in six months where in the previous
twelve months she had sent hut A.
600. and Germany has sent as many
! immigrants in the past six months
as she did in all the previous twelve.
vantagcous openings for employ
mcnt in this country are proving
inducements which Will relieve the
demand without impairing condi
tons.
The obtaining of employees for the
more disagrecab,e and less skilled
employment is yet a problem 1t is
conceivable that this work may be so
conducted as to call into it those
who heretofore have held off from it.
II so the wage would be greater than
matter to tho concerns in need of
this labor. Naturally enough they
are in one way or another, some
times by means not altogether
clear, trying to get relief. Senator
Reed of Pennsylvania has a bill be
fore Congress which would change
the quota from 3 to per cent based
on the census of 1890. This would
permit immigrants to the number of
402,143, of Which only 1885 would
be the quota of southern and eastern
Europe while 1886 could come
from northern and western Europe.
This plan might have some advant-
ages over the present, which however
is considered to have worked we'll
on the whole, so we'll that Congress
hositates to make any change, and
in so doing probably reflects the
prevailing sentiment throughout the
country. The present law has its
defects and changes inevitably VIII
be made but it is to be hoped that
tinkcring it in the immediate future
will be discouraged. Let's see how
it works over a longer term. AZ
| fairs can be adjusted to if.

Sydney, n. S W., Jan. "a sub

Let the Office Seek the Man

The original reason for having the
Board of Education consist Of MEM
bers was to have each Ward repre-
scented, with an -officio member to
vote in case of a tie, and this Ward
Representation was, perhaps, made a
feature to enlist support for and en-
sure the adoption of the present
School System. There seems to be
no good reason why geographical or
Ward lines should have anything
whatever to do with School Matters.
1t might be wise to have at one time
two members of the Board from the
same Ward, and equally wise to have
no member from some Ward. With
the duty to appoint placed with the
Mayor, this geographical qualification
would cease to control, and the best
men and women selected regardless OF
Ward lines.
So long as members OF the Board
are elected, whether by Wards. Or at
q general election, it is safe to say,
generally speaking, that those elected
will seek the office. Exceptions there
will be, but speaking by far and large,
it must be accepted as a fact that the
man will seek the elective office.
IL the Mayor appoints the members
of the Board-they are selected by
him. just the difference between
having the Schools managed by those
who seek election or by those who are
selected.
| have known all our Mayors for
the past 20 ycars-served with three
of them-been OH intimate relations
with some of thcm-and feel they
could have been trusted to select the
the very best mon and women 10
manage School Matters. And l think
can make this statement without
prejudice for no one OF them
ever asked my opinion about any APP
pointment. l also venture the OPINION
that Augusta will have just as good
men for her future Mayors, men who
can be as safely trusted.
We approve of the appointment by
the Governor of all our Judges ana
Trustees OF all State Institutions.
Who would now propose that they he
elected?
1t is simply n question Of whether
geographical or Ward lines should
play any part. and of whether the
Board OF education should consist OF
those who have sought the office or OF
those who have been selected.
