Who OrnS the Gold . Initiation
GiueS Point to Issue :. q. Reserve Banks
tStyniied

WASHINGTON.-Who owns all that billion
dollars worth Of gold. anyway?
It's in Treasury vaults in San Francisco,
Denver, New York. and, Soon at Fort Knox, Ky.
But whose is it? The question becomes pretty
important in view of new demands that the
currency be inflated by new money issued
against the gold as backing.
One argument is that seven billions is al
ready obligated to Federal Reserve banks, which
hold the governments gold certificates as back
ing fCT their currency.
But they can't get the gold It's in the
Treasury vaults. Possession is nine points of the
law.
Senator Henrik shipstead is one of those
who want to find cut pretty definitely. He is
backing a resolution calling on the attorney
general to furnish the Senate with a formal
opinion "as to the ownership OF and the encum-
brances on" the gold stock with particular
reference to the status of the gold taken from
the Federal Reserve banks.
Shipstead points cut that several bills are
pending which demand issue of currency against
this gold, especially in relation to the bonus;
and that up to now there has been no official
statement regarding just who owns the gold and
why, and how.
He hasn't gotten any action yet. It's just
another one of those mysteries. like the DISPOSE
ton of the S200000000O "devaluaticn profit
fund with which the Treasury was to deal in
foreign exchange to regulate the value OF the

Other Editors Say
CALIFORNIA; MINERAL WEALTH
Riverside Daily Press


Apprcx nately S257 900 10000 in mineral pro-
duction for 1885, estimated by State Miner
alogist Walter w. Bradley would indicate, it
seems to us, that CALIFORNIA; mineral wealth
is far from being exhausted In fact it proves
conclusively that the state will be well in the
forefront in underground wealth for many
years to come.
OF this total. gold mined accounted for $780,
429 900, which is proof, believe there is plen-
ty of that precious metal in The Golden State"
still. even though rich deposits close to the sur
face, which be mined at comparatively low
cost, are about gone Mining interests in the
state are confident that the total gold wealth
of California has only been scratched.
The report of Mr.. Bradley is gratifying par
ticularly as it gives figures which show that
mineral production in 1885 exceeded by 800
100000 the figures of the previous year
Referring to the oft asserted statement that
California will be an industrial state be-
cause of the lack of coal, the report points out
that in this state there are enormous quantities
of oil. This serves equally well for fuel and
coupled with fuel oil We have in California an
Almost unlimited potential supply Of hydro-elec-
trio power, a commodity important than
coal in creating an industrial empire.
AS far heat and power are concerned
therefore, California could be the greatest in
dustrial state in the nation. 1t is making strong
bid for this distinction.

Yesterday I said that, generally
speaking, philosophy had to do
with truth, with happiness, and
with judgment as to the things of
highest good or value in life, and
with the ways and means therein.
Accidentally, philosophy and reli-
gion are usually separated and as
signed to different departments;
philosophy being chiefly confined to
the study of truth, and religion to
God and what is good. Actually,
the study of the good, the true,
and the beautiful is the subject
matter of both religion and phil
oSophy. If there can be any dis
tinction made, it would be that
philosophy is religion with God
left out If philosophy emphasizes
the study of truth, so does religion
or it should. If philosophy seeks
the right way TO happiness, reli-
gion teaches it. l have always
thought that the Christ was think
ing of the Greek and Hebrew phil
osophers, vainly trying to arrive at
something by pulling at the boot
straps of their own intellect, when
He said Il am the Way, the Truth,
and the Life" Jesus plans for
building a life; Jesus answers to
"life's riddles; and Jesus, Himself,
as the live wire-the living link
between God and man: that is a
philosophy Tor religion, call it what
you like for man to tie to. And
it has been the rest-haVen for
many a brain weary philosopher.

FORD SPEAKS
HIS MIND

Henry Ford is a hard worker and,
what's more, successful worker. When
a man of his stamp speaks his mind as
Ford has been doing through magazine
articles recently, it is worth consider
ing what he has to say. Throughout his
comments runs one strong theme that
is to forget trouble and worries and get
down to work. There is ample need for
more work and more workers, he be-
lieves, and strengthens his words by in
creased production of his own products
''just as if there never had been a depres-
SION" Business is available for all who
go after it intelligently and optimistical-
ly. he AYERS. I'm my opinion he says,
there is so much useful work in the
country crying to be done, that we
should be able to use every employable
person for long time to come Pro
duction has never been as high as it
should be. We never had over-produc-
ton, only under-distribution. With
great many people, Ford's opinion will
stand as a final signal that 'All is well.
