ALL WANT OI K MONKY
Xew York bankers say tUat not
less than ?20,000,000 of the:
lattst German war loan will be1
taken in the United Sts-tes before j
the time limit, set at November 1
lor the Uuited States, expires, says
the Cleveland Leader. The
, t
sum seems small by comparison
w'th the loan floated here by Great1
Britain and France, but it involves .
exactly the _same questions of j
.American relations with belligerent
powers aud assistance to warring I
governments. Also, the sale of i
German war bends in this country
Shews that Germany is quite as will j
lag as her enemies to do business
with American investors and ina^e ■
use of American gold.
They all want American money, j
They all desire American munitions
of war. If it were possible to de
liver American arms and Ameri-!
can ammunition in German ports
ther* is no doubt that such traffic
would be in full progress. Only
barriers which the United States
has nothing to do with prevents
carrying ou a large and lucrative
trade ef that kind with Germany
and Austria-Hungary, even with
Turkey. All of which is very com
plete Droof that in allowing Ameri
can manufacturers, American farm
ers, American wage-workers, Am
erican investors and many other
Americans to profit by war orders
and war busiuess the course of this
republic is in no sense unneutral or
unfair.
AID FOU PROSPECTORS
Commenting editorially ou recent
ly published discussion concerning
the encouragement or the Canadian
prospector, '"Mining Science," of
Denver, Colorado, observes: "Iu
contrast with the attitude usually
cccepted in the United States, our
Canadian friends lean frankly to the
theory of state encouragement, even
through subsidies. This policy has
been pursued in other British col
onies, especially in Australia. Spe
cial inducements, as one contributor
txpresses it, must be offered to re
rive interest in prospecting. State
aid Is easily suggested and often
times readily secured. Yet experi
ence does not produce much argu
ment in favor of this policy as ap
plied to tho work of the prospector.
Paternalism is always suggestive of
interference. The moment the state
offers its sen-ices to an industry
or to a class, it is apt to demand
compensatory powers which serve to
defea- the original purpose. The
true stimulus to prospecting is the
largest measuTe of freedom. Lib
erty 'c wander uumolested, to
6carch without red tape or ques
tionings of any kind, is the real
foundation of mineral development.
This is the thing that appeals most
to the heart of the man in the
field. Nevertheless we find men of
high intelligence and broad educa
tion attempting to solve the prob
lem in hand without any regard for
the human factor in it. "We may
legislate and regulate and appropri
ate money and chew our ponderous
words in support of happy theories;
but we fail in all our effoits if we
forget the primary fact that free
access to the earth is the inspira
tion that develops tho wilderness
and brit-gs forth its fruits. Among
Ine first commands to be found in
the pages of Christian Scripture is
this: 'Subdue the earth.' Society
Las too often overthrown that man
date through the greed and stu
pidity of those who participate uot
at all in the grand work of subduc
I'on. The Canadian government has
uot gone so far as our own iu
hampering the feet of the frontiers
man, but Cauadiau citizens axe apt
to be led astray by parlor discus
sions."

MISER PAYS BIO
PRICE FOR MELON
In the balmy days of Dawson, a
btory gained circulation that "Swift
water 13111" Gates had, at one tlm«,
purchased all the eggs In town, with
a View, to gaining the affections of
a refractory maiden. And th© Btory
went further to the effect that by
getting a corner on the eggs that
he gained his point. Whether or
not the story was true, "Swift
water Bill" had nothing on Andy
Lovlk, of the Circle) tot springs
district, as he recently cornered the
watermelons of that 'district by
paying $80 for an night pound
melon.
The purchaser had struck It rich
but a short time before on Slg
Hora creek and as his poke was
fat at the time of the Bale, lie
ha* no objection to paying a high
price. By people of the hot springs
country, It is claimed that this Is
the highest price ever paid for a
melon, ten dollars a pound.
After making tne purwwo, «v■
Lovik treated his friends and short
ly afterward left tor the hills to
secure his winter's supply of meat.
