VITAL QUESTION

One of The Candidates Makes His
Position Clear to Voters
Ia searching for news this morn

Strong Store Company's place <*•
business and found the proprietor
very busy, as usual, and who stated
that he had no time to devote to
newspaper men. He was. however
induced to “loosen up" when thi
school question was mentioned an»J
proceeded to assert his views ir
no uncertain language- During th*
course of the conversation he mad
it plain that if elected school di
rector he would use every means
possible to eliminate the basemens

GEOLOGICAL SI RVEY
ANSWERS Ql ESTIONS
A Thousand Letters Every Week
Many persons in the United States
evidently think of the United States
Geological Surrey as a great bur
eau ef geologic information, far
the Survey answered 5O.Q0O letters
of inquiry last yar concerning She
earth's crust and what it contains.
Letters co".p from ail parts of r
country at the rate of about a
thousand a week, asking the name,
source, character, use. and value of
sr.-nerais, and the location of var
ious leads of rocks suitable for dif
ferent uses. These letters ask not
only about the rocks and minerals
of foregn country }fvre and
more inquiries for information
about otur mineral resources arc
coming from South a&d Central
America. The representative of one
foreign country wanted to know
where to get a large supply of
coal of a particular grade, and a
purchaser from another country
wanted to place an order for month
ly shipments of several hundred
tons of lime.
The Survey is in close touch with
the 90,000 producers of minerals in
the United States, and is ready to
answer questions about the annual
production of TO different, minerals
or mineral products- Furthermore,
the Surrey knows the places in the
United States where more than 425
different minerals may be found, so
that it is is a position to act as
the public agency in bringing the
mineral producer and consumer into
becomes more intolerable. To tie
Jus an additional scfcooj buildiny
must be erected, and this can be
dene if the proper effort is made
It need cot all lx paid for in one
rear for the reason that arrange
ments can easily made to get
;i«ce on a large part of the expense,
tarrying it over into 3 second or
even i third year if necessary. N'ext
in importance is the necessity for
a full high school course and thus
obviate the necessity of sending
children to the states to finish an
education which should be taken care
of locally. Pcop’e who think these
things cannot be -done are mistaken
* They can by direction of proper er
fort
souch with each other.
i ebenti law prohibits the Survey
from making special examinations
such as assays ■ ard Analyses for
pnvate individuals, but the geolog
.'.s can iv..: .e suupie minerals de
terminations and give information
as to the Identity and use of min
erals submitted. It is an everyday
occurrence for the Survey to ans
wer many such questions as these:
"W hat is this mineral, and if it
is of value- where can I find* a
purchaser?" "Where can I get a
supply in sand in my own State
that will analyze '? per cent sili
ca l" "Where does platinum occur?’'
' in what geologic relations is man
ganese ore found?" By answering
toe many and miscellaneous, inquir
ies for geologic information' the
Survey is becoming increasingly
valuable to the public.
Many an inquiring citiren is re
ferred :o his e'-'.'E State Survey for
more detailed information, for
many people do not know that they
have in their own State an officer
or organisation ready to answer
questions about the geology and
.^mineral resources of the State.
There are now 41 State geologists.
or equivalent State officials, many
of them working in cooperation
with the Federal Survey. Ail in
quiries of the Federal Survey

| 1 HE HISTORY OF THE PRES
ENT IS BI T A REPETITION
OF THE PAST.
A citixen who apparently favors
, preparedness . as a preventive of
I w, says:
The situation in Mexico, whereby
j Carnutia has granted the United
; States permission to invade that
; ountry with her t troops, reminds
e of the man and wife, who when
! hey are having their domestic dif
ficulties, such as testifying their
love and affections, by beating
each other up. it behooves the
onlooker to refrain from interfer
ing, as otherwise he is liable to
get the worn of it.
The same conditions exists in
Mexico. The different factions will
combine and the United States will
find that she has her hands full
Xot only that, but while we are
busy with Mexico some other Na
tion, probably Japan, will see her
opportunity, and the consequences
would be disastrous, unprepared as
we are.
I cannot understand why the
Congress of the United States do
not stop their dilatoriness and get
down to the main issue, which is
to put this country in a position
to repel foreign invasion
They who cannot “read the hand
writing on the wall” are consider
ably obtuse, to say the least.
Preparedness of a country does
not necessary mean war, but an
adequate defense will have a tend
enc tc make any nation hesitate
before they invade a country.
The history of the present is
but a repetition of the past. Go
back in history and you will find
that a nation who enjoyed the
longest period of peace were those
who were prepared to resist ag
gression.
Babylon fell because of her lax
ity in this respect. The richest
country in the world, at that time,
as the United States is today, gave
herself over to the enjoyment of
wealth she had accumulated by her
conquests, to dissipation and de
bauchery, which caused her down
fall.
Rome held her supremacy as
Mistress of the World to her leg
tons, but internal dissension, and
the folly of believing she was in
vincible, thereby neglecting her vig
ilance, was the means of her being
overrun by the Huns
Nations have aroused from ob
scurity, became great, sought ag
grandizement of additional terri
tory, fell, and dropped back from
whence they came.
So from the beginning of history
the sante thing has happened.
Nations arise to supremacy, seek
additional wealth, breeding the spir
it of greed; the morals of the peo
ple degenerate; the accumlation of
more riches leads to laxity; the
people become supine, and another
nation, taking advantage of con
ditions, invade the country, and the
consequences are the downfall of
the nation.

The integrity and honor of a
country should be the first consid
eration of an individual, regardless
o the party with whom he may
affiliate- 1 can understand n coun
try going to war for the principal
of liberty, but there is no principal
involved in this war, in fact there
: s no principal involved. The ac- \
qn Tit ion of commercial gain, which j
seems to be the cause of the pres- -
ent European war, is not a prin- j
cipal, but a grasping monopoly for j
trade.
There a nation, or -nations can
justify themselves in putting their
people up to be shot, blown ip,
asphyxiated and burnt up, in a
cause of that kind, is beyond my
comprehension. A CITIZEN.
