AN OLD-FASHIONED SENATOR
United States Senator Eugene
Hale, of Maine, is one of the "his
toric" group in that distinguished
body. He has been there so long
that the ever increasing pace of the
country has out-stripped him, left him
wondering and fearing and contend
ing against the newer and swifter
doctrines of the day; and now he is
wrought to a pitch of anxiety be
cause of the recent army appropria
tion of $100,000,000, that it is almost
amusing despite the dignity and sin
cerity of the protest and its source.
The population of the country it
self has advanced one man for every
dollar he protests against, in this par
ticular, since Mr. Hale was born, and
the ratio increases with every day he
lives. He rather ignores the predi
cate in his prophecies, however, and
sees nothing ahead but the "demni
tion bow-wows," if we are to adhere
to our expansive and expensive pro
gram. Graft excepted, the country has noth
ing to fear from this sort of thing;
but the trouble is to circumvent the
graft. This may have been at the
root of Senator Hale's calculation;
and would- go far to justify his
dolorous and thrifty warning. But it
is well to take a cheerful view and
try to concede that graft has been
roundly checked, and that sometime
it will be eliminated, doing our best
to meet the Washingtonian precept,
"in time of peace prepare for war."
The millenium is very remote. The
venerable Senator from Maine is a
few years nearer to it than the young
sters of this generation; and so long
as we are maintaining schools of war
we are holding the prospect open for
all time. Conflicts are inevitable; and
it is good doctrine to be in a state
of confident preparedness as one of
the chief precautions against the real
thing. All we regret is that the naval
appropriation has not been twice
what it has figured for the past 10
years.
EMMA UP AGAINST IT.
. The delectable Emma, she of the
anarchistic cult, Miss Goldman, erst
of Russia and Chicago, seems to be
strictly up against the real thing.
She is astride of the Canadian
American border, so to speak, and
dare not fall either way, for fear of
swift and sure deportation to the
country she dare not show her face
in. In the ordinary swing of events
we would have an abundant and
chivalric interest in the release of a
woman from the peril and discom
fiture besetting the priestess of
Babel and Hades, but this woman is
so completely unsexed and discredit
ed, that we can, find no sentiment
that would serve her in the least;
anH will nnt. unless, of course, she
ctisii hp suhiprted to anvthine in
the way of brutal man-handling.
fanarla will not have her: the
United States will not have her; her
own country cares not a whit for
her, save to punish her for her (per
haps justifiable) transgression of its
peculiar code: and if the officers
with whom she is in contract shall
do their exact duty, Emma Gold
man's career on this continent is at
an end.
Deportation means death to people
of her stripe; or at best, the Siber
ian wilderness for life; both of which
extremities she has courted unceas
inelv and defiantly for years. And,
aside from the sole universal protest
against the subjection of womankind
to these horrors, there are none to
care what becomes of her. She has
preached the vicious and violent
creed of sword and gun and flame
all her life; and was not content to
preach it among those to whom it
actually appealed, and whose revolt
has always been condoned the world
over; but she brought her vile tenets
and preachments into a land that
offered her more of human freedom
than she 'had ever known and
wrought for its disruption and dis
organization from the very hour she
landed here.
The circumstance of her capture
on the border-line serves admirably
for the setting up of a tremendous
lesson to the anarchist in America.
It is susceptible of providing an ex
ample that will be understood and
appreciated by these malcontents.
At all events the whole country is
hoping that the opportunity will not
be wasted, and that, for once, at
least, the law of the land will prove
paramount
THE OUT-SWINGING DOOR.
Tens of thousands of precious lives
sacrificed to the fool principle of in-
swinging doors have at last wrought
the lesson of common sense over
this country, including Astoria, and
they are to be abandoned for the re
versed maxim. The doors of the
public buildings everywhere are be
ing re-hung to avoid the horrible
premium our friends and kin have
paid on the old traps.
Theatres, schools, halls, depots,
churches, public and private office
buildings, all the common resorts of
the people, where the few, and the
many, are congregated at any or all
time, must meet the new demand of
safety. Nothing else will go. No ex
cuse will answer for the maiming or
killing of a single man, woman or
child, hereafter, and the trustees and
owners and officers charged with
these things had better take the cue
now, than the ban of curse and con
demnation certain to follow another
peril, or another "burnt sacrifice" to
our own stupidity and false economy.
EDITORIAL SALAD
The Indiana Democratic platform
says that Mr. Bryan "by force of his
cnienHiH intellect, his noble man-
hood, his matchless eloquence, his
purity of life, has not only become
easily the greatest citizen ot the
reoublic. but an absolute moral force
in the world. iwo iicmuss u
produced such grand results that it
would be a cosmic crime to deny
another.
A San Francisco paper is surprised
to find that the whole country is now
against Asiatic immigration, though
the Pacific Coast States were long
compelled to make the fight alone.
The country has noticed that the op
position springs up wherever there is
contact. Recent events in British
Columbia have been educational.
London or Glasgow would flare up
just the same if cargoes ot tne
Asiatics should begin to move in.
Admiral Evans' opinion on armor
belts is that "under the sea condi
tions in which battles may be fought
a belt ot o leet in wium, u
ered alone, is too narrow to afford
the desired protection wherever it
may be placed, so the question be
comes an academic discussion, with
certain arguments on each side."
The admiral is too old a sailor to
expect absolute safety in a fighting
ship. To raise or lower the armor
simply shifts the vulnerability, and
naval experts disagree as to where
the line should be drawn.

ite near Cartersville, Ca. has just
been published by the United States
Geological Survey as a part of an
advance chapter of Bulletin No. 340
which is entitled "Contributions to
Economic Geology, 1907."
Barite, the sulphate of barium, one
of the metallic elements, also called
"heavy spar" and barytcs, is used
principally as a white pigment, but it
is also employed in the manufacture
of paper, cloth, and rubber.
The barite of the Cartersville re
gion is closely associated with certain
iron ores, and particularly with ochcr
It is called by the miners the "flowers
of ochcr," and its presence in the res
idual soil of the region has been a
means of tracing the ocher deposits.
At one place nearly 3 miles south
east of Cartersville barite has been
mined for at least six months on a
rather large scale, more than a thou
sand tons valued at about $4000,
having been taken out.
The Geological 'Survey's report on
the deposit was prepared by Dr. C.
iW. Hayes, the chief geologist, and
Mr. W. C. Phalen, who sketch the
geology of the region, discuss briefly
the origin of the mineral, and des
cribe the deposits now worked and
the method of mining. The pamph
let containing the report can be had
by applying to the Director of the
Survey at Washington. D. C.
