It is but natural that much im- portance should be attached to the address of Elihu Root as temporary chairman of the convention of the New Ycrk republicans. Root’s words have been the keynote of pre- vious campaigr = and just such signi- ficance must attach to them now soth for the campaign which is to be waged in the Empire state as well @s that which is ahead of the nation, and in nis speech at Albany he brought Americanism to the front in no unmistakable terms, There was the usual evidence of Iis keen, clear-minded thought and he attacked the national administra~ tion in a manner which is bound to imake its sppeal regardless of the _party with which the reader may be aligned. My. Root referred to the raess which had been made by the | administration in the treatment of |8 Mexican question. Ho referred also toc the course which had been pursued with such unsatisfactory re- sults in regard to the tariff but he hit the rail on the head when he in- sisted 1hat this government must hold itsclf true to American principles. He made it evident that that will _be the muin issue of the coming cam- paisn and he left no aquestion for doubt as o where he stands in that Tegard and what he considers to be the duty of this country. He makes it certain that the republicans can be relied upon to give the country the Dest kind of government as it has in the past upon economic questions, that they will meet such situations as they arise with a fixed and thorough- Jy understood poliey but he likewise makes it positive that it will stand for America, first, last and all the time. The nced of that has been re- ' Dpeatedly manifested in the months that have passed. CHICAGO’S POISONING SQUAD, Developments have been such that there appears to be not the slightest ground for considering the illness of the priests and laymen in attendance at the dinner to Archbishop Mundelin at Chicago as anything else but the Tesult of 2 deliberate attempt at wholesale murder. The analysis of the soup shows that It contained enough arsenic to have ended the lives of all the partakers had it not been necessary to dilute it before serving in order to accommodate the hundred extra guests who had not been planned for. The impression prevails among the Chicago =uthorities thdt anarchy at the bottom of the plot and that the suspected chef was not alone in his operations but whatever may eventually prove to be the full story of the attempted crime every effort £ must be exerted to run down the ¥ missing soup mixer, whether he 5 proves to be a tool or principal, and @t the same time weave a net about those who may be higher up. It was & an attempt at crime as glaring and § deliberate as the throwing of bombs. 4t was even possible to look upon it " @s more certain had there been no Sitch. Thoush the scheme failed it & ealls however for just as determined ® omes since they have shown their "hands and are a menace to pub. © lic safety as long as they retain their freedom. The affair, though causing no loss | of life, has demonstrated to Chicago that its problem is no less ‘han was ' New York’s with its gunmen and bomb throwers and it must be tackled th the same persistency and thor- Gughness even though the guilty ones have used a quieter and more subtle ~method. CANNOT DODGE THE LAW. " The semi-official statement which | comes from Washington to the effect " that the cabinet meeting revealed strong opposition to the attitude Shich appeared to approve the idea . that armed merchant vessels should | be considered auxiliary cruisers brings this country back to the attitude, hich it has always maintained and hich is the logical one under inter- tional law, that merckantmen have right to arm for defensive purposes. In spite of the effort which was de by Secretary Lansing to have Delligerents adopt a modus viven- which would govern for the rest the war on this very point and ch has been rejected by all con- ed, this country cannot do other n abide by the existing law.

If all could have been brought to an agree- ment it might have been well enough but there was no chance and inas- much as the effort has proved a fail- ure there is nothing now to do but to obey the law and require those who are tound by it to do their part. DYESTUFFS LEGISLATION. Speaking in advocacy of the bill he introduced in congress on the open- ing day, Representative Hill of this state set forth the need of giving proper attention to the subject of dye- stuffs in a speech before that body | this week and he sent the arguments home in » manner which should have the proper effect in bringing about early and favorable action thereon. Not only did he declare that the American users of dyestuffs and dved ares were directly or indirectly los- ing a million dollars a day as the re- sult of the dye situation but he re- ferred to the manner in which Ja- pan and Great Britain are taking steps to Gvercome the dependence which they have in other times placed upon (the German product sit here trusting to our own can good luck. Co man Hill laid much stress upon the fact that the manufacturer does not get one cent of added pro- tection under this bill unless he com- bines with such assembly process the production of the intermediates, and 50 helps to build up in this country a self contained industry in the pro- ducts of American coal and utilizes the products of the coke ovens, which are now Leing wasted to an encrmous extent, one-sixth being saved here as compared with five-sixths in Ger- many. There ought to be little question as to the advisability of additional leg- islation concerning this matter. It is time that this country was giving en- couragement to an industry which can do equally as well here as in Ger- if it is nurtured and given a chance to make this country independ- ent of foreign producers for its dye- stuffs. Ameri- many PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. It is a deplorable and alarming situation when the statement is made that the number of girls who are missing or run away from home in- creases each vear. It indicates that not_only should there be a stop put to it but it calls for a recognition of the causes of it. Investigations have been repeatedly made in order to get hold of the real reasons for such a state of affairs and despite the report concerning those engaged in the white slave bus- iness and those who are engaged in promoting crime it is invariably found that the home is to a large degree responsible for the way fin which girls and boys throw away their lives and fall into evil ways. In the opinion of the Philadelphia Public Ledger “some of them leave their families out of sheer love for adventure, some because their sur- roundings are uncongenial. In both cases the chief blame belongs to the parents. Girls need as they approach maturity, even more than the boys, Judicious restraint and sympathetic guidance. It is natural for them to seels enjoyment and if they cannot get the right kind they will take the wrong kind. To forbid them to do this or that and take no further pains with thew ic to evade a solemn re- sponsibiiity. The habit of looking to the law to settle questions of morals is 1n targe part the cause of this fail- ure to realize the penalties of undone varental duties.” Parental responsibility cannot be shirked and not have its effect upon the chi'dren. There are plenty of in- stances whick support such a conten- tion and the quicker it is more gen- erally recognized the sooner will there be that improvement which is so much sought. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Much good advice is wasted because it is offered indiscriminately. If he is as sensitive as humani the groundhog’s ears must be ting- ling most of the time. Now that it has been decided to call lawyers into the Brandeis hear- ing, a real fizht can be expected. { It is impossible to talk a long win- i ter to the fans now that the time has arrived when the contracts are being gned. | The Fall River fire is the only one of importance of recent date which has not been attributed to German sympathizers. Though the allies are belittling the German victories in the east, they are nevertheless giving them plenty to think about. | The announcement that President | Wilson is a candidate for reelection hasn’t ‘excited anybody quite as much as it has Col. Bryan. When the PBritish get excited over two large planets in the sky they must approach hysterics every time an automobile tire explodes. Those people who mistook Jupiter and Venus for an aeroplane must have figured that the days of the si- lent flying machine had arrived. Even though they claim to make but 20 certs on a ton of anthracite, it is safe to believe that there will be more coal barons beforc there are less, In deciding not to make any more tours it is possible that the president figures there is enough to do in Wash- ington now that congress is in ses- sion.

When she gets hold of a large general catalogue she purrs with joy just like a pussy cat handed a bunch of catnip! She begins with axle grease and prowls right straight through coffee, linoleum, patent washers, chicken feed and oil stoves to the garden imple- ments on the back pages—and she relishes them all “‘Imogene, I said to her once, as I sat filled with wonder and amaze vatching her do it: ‘Why waste time! Never in your life will you want axle grease, and our present kitchen lino- leum will last another hundred years! Meanwhile my hosiery needs darning and the baby is crying down the hall!” “She looked at me in dignified pity and said that it was just like a man. Then she went on to explain patient- Iy anq kindly that while she had no need for axle grease—seeing I had par- ticularly mentioned it—now she would be entirely prepared to know a bargain in axle grease when she saw it if the time ever came when axle grease was necssary in our menage. She said she thought it a woman’s duty to be prepared for any household emergency and, goodness knows, it was a thank- less task! If I had some wives who didn’t care what they paid for a thing I'd find out! Why!” proceeded the Hyde Park man, warming up to his task, “while the spring catalogue season is in pro- gress life is not worth living at my house!

Imogene makes des- perately long lists of all the plants she'd like to buy out of each catalogue and she knows what to spray for brown blight and how to attack a caterpillar. Never in_her life, if she sticks to me, will she have a chance to meet a rosebush caterpillar face to face, but she reads about ’em just the same. “The time that she discovered that with a $10 grocery order you could buy a thousand pounds of sugar, more or less, for an addgional doliar, I really thought I had lost her, for the fever rose very high and acute.

The president asked in a cold tone what prunes had to do with malleable iron, and it's hard to talk to a man, you know, who takes that attitude. “When T send home a new box of collars, Thogene wrings her hands and says we'll end in the poorhouse and why did I do it when she had jus: read to me out of her new catalogue that collars could be bought at 35 cents less a box than I had paid?

Mr. Editor: A mass meeting to be addressed by Dr. C. D. Ussher will be held at the Davis theatre Sunday evening, Feb. 20th, at 7.30 o'clock. Two of the most ancient Christian nations in the world -are being subject- ed to a process or infamous crueity which aims at nothing less than their utter extermination. The greater of these two peoples is the Armenian; but the Syrians are also suffering. The words of General Sherman that war is hell are often repeated, but if ordinary warfare is hell, this wholesale slaugh- ter of many thousands of men, women and children cannot be described by any word in any language. In terrible- ness, in fiendish cruelty, in new and before unthought of tortures it is be- yond the reach of human conception. The shrieks of thousands of abused mothers, the dying cries of their trignt- ened little ones, torn from their em- brace, together with the prayers of fathers and the brothers, as they are led out to be bayoneted or shot down, as if so many wild beasts, these utterances of extreme agony of body and soul, have entered the ear of the Just Judge sitting upon His eternal throne. The government which is doing this | work, and those who, for political rea- sons” or “military necessity,” aid or abet it or excuse it, have together of the thousands slain; and whatever forgiveness may be nted to the penitent, these stains, from their very nature, must remain forever. The practical question for us now is: What can we do to save the re- maining remnants of “an assassinated | nation?” We are a Christian people | and God is bestowing upon us the | richest blessings. Today the world is | | | stained their garments with the blood | | one. “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Among the many who assure us that they are only t00 glad to render any possible assistance may be mentioned Mayor Murphy, who has kindly con- sented to preside at the meeting; ex- Mayor Lippitt; Principal Tirrell; Col- cnel Gale, cashier of the Thames Na. tional bank; Secretary Hill of the Y.

DOMESTIC WORRIES less than a collar, and there was no reason for my being so fussy. “Once Imogene bought me some neckties out of a catalogue ad. _They were beautiful in the pictures, she in- sisted, and when they came they were exactly as they had been described, in print, only, somehow, 1 didn't fancy them. I tried diplomatically to tell Imogene that it was unwise to pur- chase neckties by a correspondence school system, but she said now as I had 'em I must use 'em, and no one would notice that the colors were so queer if I kept my coat buttoned up. So for weeks I put on one of her hor- rors ana slipped another—a sane one —in my pocket, which I put on when I reached the corner drug store. Imo- gene came in to buy a toothbrush one morning and caught me and in conse: quence home wasn't the same for some time thereafter. The memory of that is what makes me shiver when I think of the large, fat catalogue left at our door this morning. It may have spring overcoats in it or patent desserts that Imogene’ll want.” 4 “Gee ” sald the Woodlawn man in worried tones. “I wonder whether my wife got one, too!

THE WAR PRIMER @38y National Geographic Soclety | Semenowa.—*“A railroad fartherest north, tapping the polar seas bayond Archangel, its whole length running through a region of intense winter cold, is one of the most important con- structive results of this destructive world war,” says a statement just pre- pared by the National Geographic so- clety at Washington. “Stimulated by an imperative war-necessity for a port nearer the west and the long battle lines than Vladivostok, this new rail- way has been driven north with the me fierce enerzy as that called forth the dash for enemy positions. ‘Finns, Lapps, Russians, alike, have ored unremittingly to fasten a per- manent way of steel between Perograd i Semenowa, the latter city far be- yond the aretic circle, on the northern hore of Finland, near Norw Nord Kap. Work upon the new began a few months after th: break of the war, and it has been pushed feverishly as a means of over- reaching the blockade by land and sea that isolates Russia in the west. “The undertaking required the build- ing of more than 650 miles of railroad through an unfavorable country, in many places water soaked, crossed by low-banked rivers, filled with count- ess lakes, large and small, and through a'zreat part of the year, froz- en numb and buried under feet of snow. Construction has gone forward from the north and from the south, but there still remains a considerable middle section to be laid before tne completion of the project. “The arctic railroad runs east from >etrograd around Lake Ladoga, where it turns poleward and whence it holds a nothern course until it reachess the harbor at its terminus upon the polar sea. Here on the bleak Murman coast, deadened by months of cold and cheered by a briefest summer, an up- to-date harbor is being built and the works of a great northernmost naval base are being rapidly carried forward. Semenowa, Kola and Alexandrowsk— places that the world has never thought to remember before—are now enjoying an arctic war boom. emenowa was a small collectica of fishermen's huts before the war, ap- parently too far out of the world ever to form part of it. Today large docks, harbor improvements and a splendidly improvised future has surprised the place. Senenowa tomorrow seems in the way of becoming a thriving, much mentioned port city. It may not be the warm water port that the Musco- vite has been steadily demanding through all the vears of his empire, but, nevertheless, it is a port on ice- free water; for 'navigation finds an open way 'usually around Nord Kap for several score miles down the north- ern_coast. ‘The buiding of this new port, giv- ing Russia a city on open, western water, the construction of 'the new railway into the heart of the rorth, and the building of a naval station here beyond the domination of any rival power, form, together, by far the most important constructive effort of the whole war to date. “Sheerness is the pivot point in the English blockade of the North Sea and control of all the channel water: cording to a war geography sketch just given out by the National Geo- Braphic Society. “This port, situated behind a powerful sheiter of fortifica- tion on the southern ehore of the Thames' estuary, is the stratesic nerve center of the great English war fleet, as regards its campalgn in West- European waters. Portsmouth, it Is true, is the first naval port and arsenal of Britain, and the threads directing War upon ‘the seas run from this port to every quarter of the world. How- ever, it is at Sheerness, and nelgh- boring Chatham, that the battleships, destroyers, scout cruisers and torpe- do boats have their base for the pa- troling of channel waters, for the closing of the seas to the morth, and for guarding the troop and munitions communications from Dover and Brighton to Calais and Boulogne. _“The garrison town and sea-port are situated on the Isle of Sheppcy, where the Medway estuary joins with the Thames, 51 miles east of London, and joined ‘with the metropolis by the Southeastern and Chatham Railway. Thrown around the port are a chain of formidable modern fortifications, op- Posing such armament as would make attack by an enemy fleet almost im- possible. There are also extensive barracks here, and acres of warehouse space piled high with naval stores, Residences for the admiral of the home fleet and other naval officérs constitute the most important part of the city. ““The dockyard of Sheerness, equip- ped for the carrying out of all kinds of naval repairs, covers about 80 acres, including three basins and large mod- ern docks. The harbor is a spacious and excellent one. Sheerness is prim- arily a war harbor, with little import- ance as a place of trade. It has fallen once before the attack of a hostile flect, but that was before the davs of formidable ordnance, when the Dutch admiral De Ruyter captured the fort of Charles II at Sheerness on July 10, 1667. Tt is unthinkable that De Ruy- ter’s achievement could be repeated to- day in the face of the town's mighty up-to-date defenses. From the Consular Reports.

Paid, trained nurses are more adaptable to military discipline which must prevail in all military establishments.

Some of them pay iargely for the privilege of serving the country as sorts of maids of all work; others pay more dearly for the privilege of working as surgeons' aids and as nurses. Few of them were, before the war, accustomed to the hard work of housekeeping, and some of them have learned its most elementary princi- ples in the hospitals. SPARKS ELECTRIC.

The electric lighting industry earned $360,000,000 in 1915. The kilowatt- hour product is estimated at 18,400,- 000,000 & sain of 1,600,000,000 kilowatt- hour over 1914. Earnings have in- creased $23,500,000. Ground was broken on Dec. 14 for a 200,000-horse-power steam power plant to be built on the river front in the town of Tonawanda, N.

The telephone system to New Zea- land is being rapidly developed by the National Government with up-to-date materi#i and appliances, much which is now coming from the Uni- ted States. Modern large office buildings would be quite impossible without electricity. The new Equitable building in New York city, he largest office-building in the worid, is completely electrified. Electricity is used for lighting the building, for the fast elevator service, and for a number of other things. According to the latest statistics on the electrical industry in Spain, there are 992 plants furnishing _electric lighting_for public use and_ 978 such plants for private use; 125 electric plants supply motor service. There are six electric lamp factories, of which four are devoted on making other electrical supplies. The production of copper in the United States has increased more than twenty-five-fold since 1880. The pro- duction in 1913 was_ 1652,000,000 pounds, valued at $255,500,000. The world’s production of copper is approx- imately 2,211,000,000 pounds, of which the United States produces 60 per cent, Europe 13 per cent, Canada and Mexi- co 8 per cent, South America and Cuba 7 per cent., and all other coun- tries 12 per cent. In 1913 the United States consumed about 41 per cent of the world's output of copper or about 65 per cent of her production from native ores. California was Once Important Coal Producing State. The records of the State Mining Bureau of California show a produc- tion of coal in California as early as 1861 At that time it was one of the 16 coallproducing states and, rela- tively, of come importance as a coal producer. During the later part of that decade and throughout the fol- lowing decade the coal production of California_exceeded 100,000 tons annu- ally and reached a maximum of 236,950 tons in 1880. Since 1881 the produc- tion has been irregular, having been influenced chiefly up to the beginning of the present century, by the im- of | ports of Australian and British Colum- bian coals, the receipts of Australian coals depending principally upon the wheat production and shipments from the Pacific Coast. Since 1900, how- ever, according to the United States Geological Survey, with the great in. crease in the production and use of petroleum which began in that year, coal production in California has fall- en off.
