-R. W. Smith, Observer Temporarily in Charge. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, Americanism of Minnesota. Minnesota is an American State, after all.
Its citizens of foreign extraction joined with those of native origin on Monday in declaring the fact. The cherus for Americanism and preparedness was loud and clear and strong. There was no mistaking its purpose and its spirit. All through the list of primary results seen the workings of a determination to retire the trimmers, and to put forward those who stand squarely, for America first and always. Kellogg made his campaign on that issue.
He alone took a bold, frank stand upon it. Eberhardt dodged it with ambiguous phrases and subtle appeals to nationality" prejudices. Clapp was condemned his vote Gore resolution and by his long career of political trimming. Lindbergh, with his support of the MeLemore resolution, his opposition to preparedness, and his vague, votecatching generalities, stood at the bottom of the poll. It is to the everlasting credit of the Scandinavian-born and the German-born citizens of Minnesota that they voted with such patriotism and such discrimination.
The result is that Minnesota will send a really big man to the Senate as colleague of her other great Senator, Knute In the other State contests the voters showed equal discrimination. They eliminated Iverson with great unanimity. They wisely chose Henry Rines for Treasurer, And they declined to displace Judge Mills from the Railroad Commission, in view of his long experience and great service in a highly technical work. While the results are heartening insofar as they show increasing powers of discrimination on the part of the people, they do not conceal the well recognized defects of the direct primary as we have it. in Minnesota.
The chief of these is its failure to bring forward in many cases the best material for office. The self-seekers and the demagogues are all to the fore in the primary nominations, and it is often difficult to get the right sort of selfrespecting men to file. It required the petition of the editors of the State to get Kellogg into the field. The Congressional contest in the Fifth District illustrates this defect of the direct primary. The voters desired to rebuke Congress.
man Smith for his MeLemore but had only Lundeen and Sawyer to fall back. on. The choice fell on. Lundeen, whose public record does not inspire the hope that he will represent Minneapolis in the House as this great City ought to be represented. But there was no machinery by which a really able man could be drafted into the service.
A convention made up of uninstructed, primary-elected delegates, would have sought and found the right man--just as the Chicago Convention sought out and named Hughes. Aspects of the Mobilization. The National Guard hast responded with patriotic alacrity to the cal' for mobilization. Its eager readiness to serve. to the best of its ability reacts upon the citizenry, in whom it generates a thrill of genuine, pride.
The opportunity for enlistment for service on the Mexican border, and very likely over the border, has been embraced already by' a number of young men eager for adventure, and glad to show their love of Country and willingness to shed their blood for it, if need be. There is pressing need here as elsewhere that the companies of 'the Guard should be brought up to their full peace strength of sixty-five each, with a good margin over that, in order to provide for rejections. The State militia reserve system in on trial. It is not the best system in the world, but it is all, we Congress has refused to' supersede it with a Federal volunteer reserve, and even if it had adopted that plan, there would be no time now to begin the organization. The Guard will be whipped into shape as soon as possible.
On their side, employers are everywhere showing a patriotic spirit, despite the considerable sacrifices involved. They are guaranteeing to guardsmen the jobs they- leave behind, and in many cares will carry the absent fighters on the payroll. This, of course, is exactly what they should do -at least, to a reasonable extent. No employer should be called on to cripple his business, since the comparatively small number of men needed can readily be supplied without that. It only fair that there should be some definite relation the total number of men employed in any concern and the number it is called on to excuse for military service.
Whether there is war with Mexico or not, Wednesday Evening, the mobilization is a fine thing. It will put the National Guard such condition as never before' has been attained. It will lay bare defects and deficiencies so that they may speedily be remedied. And, best of all, it will educate Congress to some understanding of what the words "adequate preparedness" actually mean. The Case of Mexico.
The Wilson Lansing note to the Carranza Government is a strong document. But strong documents are the Administration's long suit. Thete was a long series of them in the submarine controversy, before Mr. Wilson could bring himself to the point of facing the facts and his responsibilities. Patience, long -suffering and rhetoric is the Wilson' formula for dealing with any difficult situation.
Before the Wilson patience, was worn out and the Wilson vocabulary exhausted, many American -lives were lost in submarine outrages. In like manner, that patience and that vocabulary have reached their present frazzled condition as to Mexico, only after outrage has been piled on outrage, after raid has followed raid, and after the toll of American lives has reached a fearful length. These outrages and raids and other affronts are all convincingly and completely catalogued Mr. Lansing's note. The list of them is imposing.
The American public has tun scarcely realized how many and how intolerable they were. Mr. Lansing cites them to prove beyond cavil the monumental, the almost inconceivable patience of the American Government. But they prove far more than that. They prove that Washington should have acted long ago.
They prove that the worst possible policy is to temporize and negotiate with any bandit government in Mexico: They prove that protestations of intentions- and altruistic plans 1 make no impression on that mixture of Latin and Indian which is called Mexican. Soft words unenforced by action seem to the Mexican mind to conceal sinister intentions and cunning designs, worthy to be answered with insults and threats. At last Mr. Wilson is on the right track. But how much.
death and bloodshed and suffering and property loss could have been prevented, had he been able to stiffen his purpose. and, steel his.arm two or three years ago! And how much more rapidly and efficiently he could do the unescapable job now, if he had demanded of his Party in Congress the tools wherewith it is to be done! Why the Middle West Lags. Frank Guilbert, of Spokane, Secretary of the National Parks Highway Association, is asking why the roads of the Middle West are 80. far behind those of the Pacific Coast States. in travelable quality.
With party of motorists representing that organizaa tion he recently. made a trip from the State of Washington to Chicago. They found the last three hundred miles of the route much the worst part of it. Yet this was the most thickly populated country they passed through. The answer to the question raised, by Mr.
Guilbert lies, no doubt, in the differing attitude of the Middle West and the Pacific States toward the road-building problem. Here we build quickly and temporarily; on the Coast they make permanent ways, constructed to last with small maintenance charge for many years, With us roads are easily built over the prairies and through rolling country, and we have not yet learned the true economy of making them permanent. In many cases we spend enough in mending them and resurfacing them to finance a durable and efficient pavement, On the Coast, where they have mountainous and rough country to deal with, they pursue the wiser policy of building for the future. The Romans had the right idea. They built roads to last for centuries.
Some of them are as travelable today as they were two thousand years ago. Here in Minnesota and right here in Hennepin County we are spending enough every year on repairs and replacements to make good start on permanent roadways. A man on an Arkansas train "was robbed, but the robbers did not get anything." according to a Southern paper. They didn't even get victim's opinion of them. The Columbus Dispatch asks: "Where does all the money the nations are Spending for war go?" The name of the place has been deleted by the censor.
It is about time Mr. Wilson withdrew that recognition of Carranza. It must have been "another party" he mistook for the real thing. Mr. Fairbanks has been over the vice premi-, dential road once before and found all the culverts in place.

Charles Francix Adams had been an officer in the federal army facing Lee in Virginia.

June 21, 1916. THE AMERICAN ELK Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. A family group of American elk or wapiti from the Yellowstone National park has just been put on exhibition in the west wing of the new building for the national museum at Washington, D. C. The animals in this exhibit were especially collected for the Smithsonian through the courtesy of the interior department from one of the herds of elk under government protection.
This group shows a family of elk in the Yellowstone National at the first sign of winter. has fallen during the night stone while there was no wind and lies heavily on the pine boughs and branches. At this time the bulls, which are in their prime, but yet graceful, take possession the cows by combat. There being, be from 1 to 20 cows in at herd, which. may or may not be accompanied by their spring calves.
This small band has been wandering carelessly about through the timber when they hear from not far distant a "challenge." The cow has become concerned in the bull's sudden stop and has her attention divided between the disturbance and her offspring. The calf, feeling the mother's anxiety, awaits dependently on her next move. Although the animals are shown in a prime condition, they have yet to obtain their longer and thicker growth of hair and heavy layers of fat which carry them through the long, stormy winter, when shelter and food are hard to find. American elk or wapiti, scientifically termed Cervus canedensis, which once had a wide distribution in North America, are now confined chiefly to the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho and the provinces of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. The largest herds occur in the Yellowstone region, numbering' between 50,000 and 55,000, distributed in two main herds.
During the summer these herds range near the summit of the Continental divide in the park and mountains of Wyoming, immediately south. In the winter the northern herd living in the park, numbering between .30,000 and 35,000, descends to lower altitudes in the Lamar vAlley, near the northern entrance. to the park. The other herd, numbering from. 18,000 to 20,000, moves down into Jackson.
Hole and the surrounding foothills. On account of the occupation of their former winter range by farms and settlements the elk herds are forced down from the mountains to find sufficient food and in some of the past winters large numbers have starved to death. Since 1909, however, these losses in Jackson Hole have been averted by winter feeding provided for through the direction of the Biological survey and the state of Wyoming. Congress has recently appropriated $50,000 for the purchase of an elk refuge where sufficient can be raised each year for feeding the herds. during the winter.
This refuge, comprising 2,000 acres, is located in Jackson Hole, two miles north of the town of Jackson, Wyo. Elk are polygamous and breed in captivity. wild herds in and readily, Wyoming bring in large returns to these states in the form of hunting licenses, guides' fees and money spent by tourists sportsmen. During the past few years experiments have been made in transferring small herds of elk from the Yellowstone park and Jackson Hole to other localities for the purpose of restocking government. and state reservations.
About 1,300 elk have been transferred to 13 different states. Many elk now in captivity are privately owned and a census of such elk is made annually by the department of agriculture through its biological survey. It is estimated that there are about 2,200 elk in captivity in about 125 different places in the United States; the total number, wild and in captivity, in this country estimated at between 80,000" and 100,000. Besides the group of elk in the National Museum, Smithsonian Institute is in possession of other elk lives once located in the National Zoological park, just outside the city of Washington. On the eastern side of the park, in a large paddock, there are 10.

New York, June 17. it would have been dificult, if A year ago, not impossible, to negotiate France a popular loan in the United States for as much as $50,000,000. American bankers did last.
year perfect negotiations with France whereby the French government secured a credit. the United States for a large This, however, was a purely banking transaction and in it the public was not invited take part. Now France, is to place a loan in the United States, $50,000,000 or thereabouts, and the presumption is that it will be speedily absorbed. This transaction immediately follows the negotiation of a large loan to Russia. One noteworthy feature of this latest negotiation United for States an appears international as the loan in creditor which is the demonstration that is now made that American investors are becoming more and more familiar with international transactions of this kind.
They begin to understand what negotiations mean for investors and they show some disposition to place therefore, their money in these loans. Someday the story of the difficulty which was encountered by the American syndicate which negotiated the Anglo-French loan of $500,000,000 will be told in full. When the chapter written it will show that the success in then financing loan was due, first of all, to operation of American bankers and, second, to investments made in it by some of the large corporations which had prospered industrially because of the large orders received for their commodities from the Allied nations. The other day, bonds which represent the Anglo-French loan were sold in considerable amount and at some depreciation in the market price. For a while, the wonder was whether this depreciation.
might not be due to a little impairment of the credit in this security as reflected by market prices. But it soon discovered that it was due solely to the marketing of large blocks "of these bonds by manufacturing industries which, when the loan was offered, subscribed some millions to it. Many of the manufacturing corporations which invested in the Anglo-French loan have no disposition to market the bonds since they prove as good an investment as the companies can make of their surplus. The One Great Objection. The chief objection expressed by American investors to the Anglo-French loan was based upon the fact that there was no collateral security behind the loan.
England and France believed that honor and the resources of the two nations should be sufficient. But the great body of American, investors are accustomed to look collateral. Probably it is in part due, at least, to this disposition of investors that the latest of the large international loans--that which France is making in the United States--will be based upon collateral security. France, has hundred millions of securities which represent loans which the French people made to other nations. That is true, also, of England and it is also the fact that, with the exception of the American securities which are in the ownership of British citizens or corporations or banks, Great Britain has not availed herself, so far as external loans are concerned, of a single one of these securities.
The time may come, if the war be continued, when it found expedient for the British government to take advantage of these resources. France will base the new loan upon securiLies owned in France which represent of neutral countries to the banks or to tions the citizens of France. Presumably no American securities will thus be utilized. The United States in the course of a year is to negotiate several other loans to foreign nations, some of them involving financing the needs of nations with which, heretofore, we have had no financial intercourse. The probabilities are that within the 12 or 18 months, A American investors will next be made familiar with the securities of neutral countries and will be disposed to make investments in them.
A Work of Preparation. American financing of this kind is regarded by international financiers as reflecting one of the most important influences for stimulating world trade. It rarely fails to be the case that when a loan is made to' another nation abundant trade with that nation follows. This has -been especially noticeable in the case of the Argentine Republic and United States since the European war Furthermore, if the United States absorbs, as it is likely to do, much the greater part of the American securities which before the European war were held in Europe, then it will be said that this country is no longer a debtor nation. When that time comes, the prediction made in April by the managers of the Deutsche bank of Berlin, Germany's greatest banking institution, will very likely be verified.
The managers of the Deutsche bank are careful when making predictions, and they must have had what they regarded as abundant justification for predicting that New York is to take the place of London as a money center. -Holland. EXPENSIVE AMMUNITION Cleveland Plain Dealer. It is not alone upon the battlefields of Europe that ammunition is at a high premium. It sounds like a wild tale, but a brief dispatch declares that the Yaqui Indians are using, bulgold in their operations in the state of Sonora, Mexico.
About $50,000 worth of gold precipitates were captured some time ago in a raid on an American pack train, and these, say the reports have all been cast into bullets. Gold, as such, is of no value to the Yaqui outlaw: gold as bullets is of immense importance to him. The Yaquis are expert manufacturers of powder; they mine their own saltpeter and sulphur and burn their. own charcoal. And they show the greatest ingenuity in improvising bullets and cartridges.

During a former uprising the aboriginal insurgents trolley wire. This happened to be the same caliber as Mauser bullets: cut into short lengths, it became 8 terribly effective missile.
But the idea of using gold for bullets has a touch of high romance, as well as a touch of the grimly humorous. During the Boer war a South African farmer who had three soldiers killed by the British molded golden bullets and for our gold," said, "and gold they shall went for. British "They lust have." A surgeon's report at the time states that he had removed golden bullets from a large number of wounded officers, and that they were more. nearly aseptic than the leaden variety.

Dr. Evans' column is a feature of the daily and Sunday Journal. The British have a custom of referring questions of great public moment concerning which there is great difference of opinion to royal commissions.
These commissions consume much time in investigating and deliberating, but then they report the facts given and the recommendations made carry great weight. In their great disappointment over their poor showing during the Boer war, they appointed such commission to investigate the causes of physical deterioration of the race. When Koch had asserted that tuberculosis of cows was of no great as cause of human tuberculosis, impottance, of a British royal commission corrected the error into which the great German authority was leading the world. In 1913, the International Medical congress, meeting in London, drew attention to the prevalence of venereal diseases. The English Review, the Morning Post.
the Pall Mall Gazette and other great London dailies, told their readers without mincing words. A royal commission was formed. This commission spent nearly $20,000 on an investigation. They have recently reported. They found venereal diseases to be one of the great problems of society.
They found that 10. per cent of the people of English cities have had syphilis and about 30. per cent have had gonorrhoea. The diseases are "not so prevalent in the country. The diseases are contagious.
They cause widespread and very important after effects. They are curable. They are preventable. Therefore, they conclude. that society must go to work to eradicate them as it has done with yellow fever and cholera and is doing with smallpox and malaria.
The report makes 35 recommendations for governmental activities. Among them are the following: Extended facilities should be made available for the diagnosis of venereal diseases, by laboratory methods. Every government should provide ample hospital and dispensary facilities for treating every person affected with venereal disease who desires treatment. Hospital cases should be taken care of in general hospitals. Special venereal disease hospitals are not advised.
Treatment should be free to all. Evening clinics, at hours convenient to the working people, should be established. Subject to proper safeguards, authorities should provide salvarsan or equally good remedies gratuitously to those who cannot pay for same. Every patient in hospital; dispensary, or clinic, or by private physician should be given a card containing instructions and warning. The government should provide ample opportunities for the education and training of physicians and medical students.
Prisoners should be treated for their venereal diseases until cured. The advertisem*nt of patent medicines for venereal diseases should' not be Infectious venereal disease should constitute: a bar to marriage. Teachers should impart sex information in private interviews. More careful instruction should be provided in regard to moral conduct as bearing upon sexual relations throughout all types and grades of education. Such instruction should be based on moral principles and spiritual considerations and should not Be based only on the physical consequences of immoral conduct.

GREATEST TELESCOPE IS BUILDING American Magazine Several years ago the Canadian government decided that it wanted the largest telescope in the world, to be set up in the clear air Vancouver for photographing thousands of stars that had never been photographed before -stars almost, inconceivably distant. Light travels at the rate of about 186,000 miles a second: yet some of the star light to be snared by the Vancouver instrument has been speeding through space for perhaps a million years since it left home. Of course the job was given to Brashear. A gigantic parabolic mirror--the largest ever made in one piece- was cast in France. It weighed in the rough 4,968 pounds and was 73 inches diameter.
Nearly 400 pounds of glass had been taken from that lens when I. saW it in Dr. Brashear's shop, where it is kept. in an underground chamber. protected from all air currents.
When it is completed and mounted, the telescope will weigh more than 500 tons.

Read it. A glassomancist, it may be well to explain, is a professor of glossomancy, a new science which consists in reading people's characters by the shape and size of their tongues. Thus, according to its votaries, the possessor of a short and broad tongue is apt to be untruthful as to words, and unreliable as to deeds. A long tongue moderately pointed, denotes frankness, and a loving, trustful, affectionate disposition. When the tongue is long and broad, however, it is a sign that the owner is shallow and superficial also a great talker.
THe typical woman gossip, say glossomancists, almost always shows this shape of tongue. The small round tongue, plump, and in shape like an oyster, denotes mediocre abilities, and a nature that is commonplace and colorless. A short narrow tongue goes with a nature that is at once quick and yet affectionate, strong and sudden in hate as in love. The worst type of tongue is the long, narrow, sinuous kind, what glossomancists call the "snake tongue." Its possessors are likely to be cruel, sly, vindictive and very deceitful. No matter what the outside appearance of the lady, study the tongue.
