Safe Memorial Day.

The Star this morning prints "A
Salute to Safety written by DR.. Frank
Lowe, San Diego clergyman, who has
had the genius to appreciate the 1ncon-
sistency of commemorating the casualties
Of war and neglecting the rising fatality
list Of times Of peace. 1t is sin against
relatively few victims of armed strife and
ignore that larger army of dead and
disabled men, women and children
whose broken and bleeding bodies have
been ruthlessly shattered and scattered
across our highways"
Some, Of course, may object to such an

country, the encampment be-
Ing held on the Monument Grounds.
The Star of May %, 1887, says:
washington is once more in the hands
OF the soldiers. Bayonets. brass buttons
and bright colors gleam in the May SUM-
The drum and martial music stir
the blood. The city is not for a second
time captured by the British nor are
North and South struggling close at hand
from all parts of the republic have &C
complished the second capture of WASH
ington and find their reward in rich
prizes, welcoming smiles and admiring
glances from all who love the military.
On this occasion Washington is a will
ing captive and even dares to hope that
1t may charm and win its conquerors.
Uncle Sam takes advantage of the i'm
pressive gathering Of representative citi-
zen soldiers to feel his muscle, test his
sword and armor and brush the accumu-
lated dust from the Monroe Doctrine"
The Star OF May a. 1887 prints the
following about character who was fill
ing the eye of Eu-
1AaAce MaA rope at the time and
on Horseback. causing commotion
IN france:
"Gen. Boulanger is the prominent fig
ure in France today and his popularity
seems to have reached the point where
he can make and unmake cabinets.
Germany fears him as one who has
shown great organizing ability and has
given new life and strength to every
bran n Of the French Army. The Ger
man government, however, from polite
motives affects to consider him lightly
and in its newspapers approves his reten-
ton as thing much to be desired Am
bilious leaders in France are jealous OF
Boulanger's growing influence and the
conservative element fears him as pos
sible war breeder. But public confidence
is largely with him. His latest interest
ing recommendation is that of partial
mobilization as feature of the Autumn
maneuvers. In order to rival the Ger
man military system the army must be
in condition to pass at word from the
peace to the war footing. so that it may
never be found unprepared in any sud-
den emergency. At the cost Of a million
dollars Boulanger proposes to test prac-
tically in this respect the present military
organization. The simultaneous mobili-
zation Of all the corps in one Of the mill
tary districts will be ordered without
warning either as to the time or as to the
district selected For two weeks every
preparation is to be made necessary to
meet an actual state of war, including
the placing of all the corps on war
footing, calling out the reserves, procur-
ing horses for cavalry and vehicles for
transport, taking possession of the rail-
ways. transferring military stores and
supplies and constructing field railways.
This practical test and training would
doubtless be of service in perfecting the
organization of the French Army and
bringing the military power of that ma
ton to the point at which Boulanger is
expected by so many of his countrymen
to crush Germany and to give himself
position in French history second to that
of no one but the first Napoleon"

OF agriculture so that there Will be fewer
very rich and fewer very poor people.
But, being practical men with incomes Of
their own. the New Dealers have done
most of their experimenting with bor-
rowed money instead of with money
taxed away from those who have it. The
effect to date has been rather pleasant
for all concerned, just as it is-tempo-
rarily-for any light-hearted individual
who undertakes to run through the FAM
NY fortune.
Signs now appear that the spending
spree, guided by married men and not by
irresponsible bachelors, Is approaching
an end.
From this point forward the President
and his aides plan experiments that they
think will save the country's business
men from themselves. Their attitude is
quite like that of the Tory government in
England-they regard benefits for the
masses of workers and farmers as the
price that must be exacted to prevent
q much more drastic upset to the estab-
lished system of business and finance.
Until now, Mr.. Roosevelt felt that
majority of the Supreme Court had
thrown itself across the path Of the re-
forms he sought to use to realize his goal.
But now the court has validated the
social security act, with it's projections for
individuals against some of the hazards
of old age and unemployment. So too,
the court has approved the use of Gov
ernment power to protect working men
in their right to organize into unions.
President Roosevelts idea-sold to him
by his married Advisers-is that workers,
through organization, can get for them
selves . bigger slice Of the rewards Of

important factor with extensive new de-
velopments. Russia in the past rela.
lively small gold producer, leaped into
second place almost overnight, and there
is a possibility that, In few years, she
will exceed even the Rand production in
South Africa.
Because of domestic production and
also because of imports in payment for
goods, the United States has long had
disproportionately large share OF the
worlds gold Even as far back as 1900
the United States had gold reserves Of
SSH 900 900, compared with 81 ,635, 900 900
world reserves. There were fluctuations,
of course, due to trade relations and
other factors. In 1915 for example, the
United States had only $l,7O7 900 900.
compared with $5,4O8OOO,0OO for the
world total. BY L }, when the price
changed, the United States had nearly
half the worlds gold reserves. 1t still
has. On the new price basis the United
States gold reserve is $l1, ,574,O0O 900,
which is about the same as the entire
world reserves in 1882, while world re-
serves, at the American price, are $23,.
05O. 900 900.
The only other country which has
gained Importantly in gold holdings in
recent years has been Great Britain.
When that nation went of the gold
standard In September. 1881, she had re-
serves Of only about s600.00O,000. Today
she has about 50 800 100000. Russia un-
questionably has gained strongly, but sta
tistics are not available. France has lost
great deal Of gold
There will be further accessions be-
cause there is nothing in the present sit
uation likely to check mining activity.
but there is, stronger than ever, the old
eagerness to find this precious and stable
standard of value, true thing in an ur-
stable world. That Is why the world
today is producing new gold 1913 times a.

Pressure is relatively low this
morning in the Rocky Mountain
States; while high pressure areas,
crested over the middle Missis-

during the last "a hours on the
north Pacific coast, from the
middle Mississippi Valley north
eastward to the Atlantic coast,
and in portions of the eastern and
northern Lake region, the amounst
