These figures do not include the recently discovered vast Alaskan coal fields (which can supply the Pacific States for 1,000 years), the imperfectly explored coal fields in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and the Rocky Mountains generally, or the deep lying coal deposits which at present there is no profitable means of mining. Neither does the estimated consumption consider the saving of coal which may be effected by more efficient mining and consumption. It is calculated that a saving of 600,000,000 tons a year is possible. Moreover, the United States is now supplying 50% of the world...
...still waters of the American Relief have run very deep. Amid the roar of national and international questions, of taxes and tariffs, the work of the administration, unadvertised and almost unnoticed, has been hard and heroic to keep life in the starving, and its record of having distributed during the two-year tenure over a billion and a half of adult and child rations speaks for itself. But apart from supplying food, it has provided medicine and surgery in just as notable proportions. Fifteen thousand hospitals have been kept in equipment, and the doctors of the unit are leaving behind...

Governor Smith has finally scaled the doom of the Mullan-Gage Act and set the seal in no uncertain terms as to his opinion of its fountain-head, the Volstead Act.

Certainly Governor Smith is a close enough student of Constitutional law not to endorse an act which would have a flavor of secession, as some zealous prohibitionists have claimed of this...
...French professor--of, as you so kindly say, the French guest--on his arrival here, finds himself in a new world. Instead of the austere stone walls of our old fashioned European universities, he is delighted to find a pleasing campus, where he may enjoy walking, sometimes through the deep snow, sometimes among flowers. In that America of yours, which he, from far away, thought of as an artificial and mechanical frame-work, he is delighted to find the simplicity, the freshness of nature, a mixture of nature and science. He realizes the deep significance of that invaluable thing which...
