JUNE 7, 1920.

A SUBSIDY FOR GOLD. It 1 well known that th pold-mininsr industry hai been having a hard time .since gold became cheap and other commodities po dear. Its product Is about the only thinp in tho market that has not advanced in prict-. More than that, it cannot advance, tcu?ft the product itself is the monetary standard which fixes vnlui'3. A? lonif as the present sold f-tandard continues, with ii Riven number of grains Koin? into a gold dollar, an uuncf of fine gold will crntinue to be worth $ 20.67. There is little prospert of this standard changing, for to change it vould be to unfettle all values and make awkward complications in foreign -xchanp:. ThA Kold-mining tomrnnic, however, have an ingenious plan for getting out of their trouble. They hav had the nerve to come forward and ask. congress to give thcni a pubfddy of $10 an ounce on the gold they produce. They do not call it a subsidy, but hat it whnt it amountH to. They explain that it is costln? them about 'iO an ounce to mine th' gold, anil therefore ask that an "excise tax" of $10 an ounce be imposed on all gold used in the arts, and the proceeds paid to them. This would cvilerstl ertabll5h $.".0.7 as th commercial price of Ko!d. Thuf. thty sty, they could keep on working their mines. If there wer satisfactory assurance that all of the gold produced would le turned to commprcial u-e. the idea might not b cjuite po preposterous. I5ut as m-ittern Ptand, the mining companies are not likely to obtain much support in congress or elsewhere, for the simple reason that there is already too much gold fi r the general good. It U largely the excrs?ie gold supply that has made prices so high and living so hard for the marxes. Let the mining companies not take it an unsympathetic if it is pointed out to them that all the rest of us would be better off if their mines would shut down altogether, becauwe a decrease in tho gold supply would raise the purchasing power of money, bringing lower prices.

RISING IMMIGRATION TIDE. Two weeks ago more than 12.000 immigrants wero drnitted at th port of New York. Considering that entries from the late enemy countries are barred, paHpnrts are required and a literacy test is enforced, the number coming in is astonishing. Ever since the war started nearly six years ago the number of immigrants apr lying for admission has been negligible. That the tide has turned would seem to be indicated. The offect the close of war would have on migration has been a moot question. Pome assumed that there would be tuch eagerness to get away from devastated and tax-ridden Kurope that wo were likely to be Inundated by the intlow of immigrants, did we permit them to come in unlimited numbers. Ther was a reverse view to the effect that labor would be in such demand in Kurope that there would be noincontivo to emigrate. It is too early to guage the correctness of either opinion but recent arrtv.il give color to tho belief that America has not yet ceased to be the land of opportunity sought by great numbers of F.uropear.s.

WAR DID NOT INCREASE WEALTH. In urging on congrfs an appropriation a writer asserts that the "war incrensed the wealth of this nation greatly." The statement contains an error Into which many hae fallen. It is true that the war which mir.y hv? fallen. It is true that the war Increased the wealth of many individuals, but not of the nation as n whole. While the definition of wealth is a disputed one and subject to exceptions, in view of the expenditure cf S 25.000.000.000 or more for a purpose from which there could be no tangible return, the turning of a large part of our population from the production of wealth to the destruction of the sources of wealth, it would have been an impossible task to hav? paid as we went and ly sv.oh means only could we havo held our -.nvn. mucn I have added to our wealth. Wealth's chief measure I its exchange villi p. Thousrh one may be drawing twice the wages received six years ago. if the present Income docs rot X.urrhae mere of th r.ec-e.-sUies of !'.f than th1 former did. one lias no more wealth. Money is not a true jrmf;c of wealrh. A bouse that cost $".'U0 .wo yeirs ago m'sht sell $10.000 now, but tho pwiit'i wealth will not hue increased if to replace it coats all that he rereiw-I. This nation will not have regained all t .-.at it 'oc by the war vrt:! the cost of the war is paid, .-.nj we are far from that now. To meet the enormous exr'r,Je of the war the nation drew on the surplUj of its cltiz?r. and mortgaged the future and to reimburse the lcndeis it will draw on eirnlngs ough taxes for many y a rs to omc . Human life also has ila part in the war loss. While our death list vsas not bo great comparatively, it did remove men who under not mal conditions would have been product rs of wealth. France's 1.400, 00D dead constitute an ti.ormous loss of wealth to that nation. Our farms And mints and mills and other forms of wealth production may have a greater Joi ßjr aiae than they hid before the war, but they

do not represent Teater vralth if their csthar.fje value i no greater than in pre-war eliys. Neither can a nation become -realthy by destroying the sources of wealth production fister than they can be replaced.

FOCH AND WOOD FOR PRESIDENTS. It is only natural that the MaJ. (len. Leonard A. Wood psychologists, conscious of the American tendency toward hero worship, when thf h'.ro is of some F.urope.-tn brand, should have decided to nominate Marshal Foch for president of France. P.y getting Americans to think for once, and favorably, of a military president for the French and we all do so admire Marshal Foch, our sense of consistency, th- psychologists seem to have rsoned, would soon bring us to an admiration of den. Wood, and make us ambitious for a military resident of the United .States. Humors that Fres't Deschanel's fall from his brain window waa due to a brain lesion a stroke and that there Is a possibility he may be unable to continue the duties of the presidency have been followed by the suggestion in America that Marshal Foch may bo Ucted his successor. There being no vice president in France, a new election would have to be held. The Wood psychologists saw in this some good Wood capital. 1'nless the French psychology haa undergone a remarkable transformation since the days of Iloulanger there is little prospect of the marshal being chosen. It would savor too much of "tho man on horseback:" that dread of French republicans. Tho French presidency may be more or less of a figurehead position, but no one expected It to remain so had Clemenceau been elected. And with Foch in the chair it mf.'ht bo the same. And there art a lot of jkcople in the United States who dread "tho man on horseback" with much the same kind of dread that the French republican do. We doubt if the attempt to hypnotize her for Wood, will meet with any considerable success.

LEGAL RIGHTS IN THE ZOO. The old nursery Jingle, "Let dogs delight to bark and bite." has just received modern justification in favor of letting caged bears claw if they so desire. A l:J-year-o!d girl, playing ball in Uronx Park, in New York city, pursued her rolling ball right up to the bars of the cage of one 6f the zoo bears. His reaction to the Incident was to reach through the bars and claw the girl. The girl's familj' then brought suit for damages against the New York Zoological society which controls "the Kronx zoo. The suit was lost, the court holding that a captive bear has the legal risht to claw anyone who comes within his range. It Is to b hoped that all bears in zoos throughout the country do not take this court decision as excuse for developing bad expositions. Neither should the court's opinion be seized uron by zoo managements as excuse for neglecting to put up all the barriers needed to protect both the humans outside the cages and the beasts within. The humans can read signs and should be able to think a little for themselves. Yet, if there were not extra railings and many warning signs most of the animals In the zoos would die early deaths from over-feeding or would be made vicious and dangerous by the teasing of the populace. One's sympathy rather goes out to the captive bear, and gives approval to the court's decree.

COAL FOR 7.000 YEARS. Estimates of how long it will be before, we exhaust our natural resources, mich as coal, iron ore and oil. continue, as they have for many years, to furnish employment for speculative scientists and others. Tht latest word on coal, from C. M. Darling of the government bureau of mines. Is reassuring, lie told the Railroad Fuel association that we have enough minerable coal in sight to last us for tho next 7,000 years, at the persent rate of consumption. Kven if Mr. Darling is a couple of thousand years ovit. any prospect of real famine thit this generation er the next need feat will be limltel to such a3 wo have experienced, du 2 to failuro to produce or f transport. A reassuring feiture is that there hs been no indication of verifying alarmists of the past vho attempted by forecast to exha'vt some of the r.'lneral resources withi.i a few scoe yers.

The Tower of Babel

By BILL ARMSTRONG

Despite the fabulous sums that are going into the presidential campaign, it probably will be a former poor boy who goes into the white house.

Republicans of congress have got the deadlocking habit from of posing Wilson to tuch an extent that they are now deadlocked themselves over free seeds.

iii:ijmn; Tin: dis.uili:d. (Cleve land lMaln-Denete-r.) A middle-aged man who had been a teamster all his life was caught in a Street car accident, and lost both his legs. The chances are that before the war that mnn would have become a public charge, going about in a wheel chair. Today he is active and elfsupporting. ' The Association for the Crippled and Disabled in his city helped him to secure a set of artificial limbs and got him a Job. He learned to operate a hand milling machine, soon became expert, and today is earning the high wages which are paid to good machinists. Not content with this, he Is taking a correspondence course, and expects to qualify as an expert in his line. Most of his success he owes of course to his own courageous spirit, but the fact that there was In his community an association whose object was the aid of such cases first set him upon his way. There Is unlimited scope for work of thia kind, both on the part of the nation which Mill has much to do for its disabled soldiers, and for the community with its civilian cases. No work is richer in rewards both to the Individuals aided, and to the world in general, while the restoration of workers to industry is of great importance in these days of labor shortage.

KUDO RA. Eudora was transplanted direct from ancient Greece where the word for "happy gift" became a feminine proper name and was given much Vogue amon' Greek damsels. Its quaint sound, rs well as Its pleasing significance, brought it to French romance as Kudore. But the first Eudora and the one whom our adoption of the name commemorates, was one of the Nereids of Greek mythology. Like Amphitrite, Thetis, and Galatea, she was the best-known of the sea nymphs. According to mythology, the Nereids, fifty or a hundred in number, were the daughters of Nereus and Doris, and were attendants upon Poseidon, god of the sea. They were represented as hiv

ing entire himan form and riding I

upon sea horses or other sea monster. Another form of the name Fudoria was much used by Greek empresses, and imperial brides who bore a name unsuited to the Greek ear, assumed it voluntarily. Though the saints of the Greek church, the name reached Russia as Jevdoksija. Lapis lazuli is the rtone assigned to Eudora. It will prove a talisman against depression and is said to protect against fevers. Monday is her lucky flay and 7 her lucky number.
