Traced Down to the Source.
President Wilson makea known tn very ptala
worda hla reoentment of tha chars that It I th
greed of th munitions maker that principally In
spires th csmpalgn he la leading for preparrdnesa.-World-Hnrald.
Yen. and tbe responsibility for tbe impres
sion that the preparedness movement has its
mainspring in the munitions manufacturers
rests nowhere so much as on papers like tbe
World-Herald, that have been continuously
spreading that very Idea, It is not so long ago
that in equally double-barreled onslaughts, it
proposed the slogan,, "Take the Profits Out or
Arms Making." going on to declare that the only
way to do this was to take the whole business
over as a government monopoly, which, as Tbe
Bee then explained, would be plsylng right into
the hands of the munitions men, who would be
only too glad to unload their Junk at war prices
before the conclusion of peace.
The other chief inspiration of this charge
which the president resents may be traced to
Mr. Bryan and his Commoner, calling for let
ters of protest to the president and members of
congress against preparedness measures on the
ground that preparedness is solely for the bene
fit of munition makers. Mr. Bryan is skillful at
playing on popular prejudice and had made
much of this appeal.
It Is unfortunate that the president has to
devote so much of his valuable time to over
coming the obstacles to bis program set up by
pretended friends in his own democratic camp.
New Light on Old Treaties.
One of tbe most interesting by-products ot
tbe war is the Impetus it has given to research
in the archives of the State department at
Washington. Two incidents have arisen that
are dealt with under provisions of treaties con
cluded with Prussia . almost a century ago.
Prussia was then an independent state, since be
come a part of the German empire. That tbe
agreements so long ago made have not been
superseded is a testimony to tbe tranquillity of
the official relations between the two govern
ments. It has something more significant in
Us message, though, and that is tbe need ot
overhauling the pigeonholes In the State de
partment, and ascertaining Just what lurks hid
den there. It is apparent that tbe whole of our
agreements with other governments ought to be
revised and made to conform to the newer and
greater position we bold in the affairs ot the
world. This will be a worthy task for the sec
retary of state when the readjustent comes after
tbe war.
Keynote of Preparedness.
Ability to "make good on your talk" is about
tbe way President Wilson summed up the whole
doctrine of preparedness In bis speech at De
Moines. It is readiness to support protests by
such means as will make them effective. This
is the basis of order In established society of
any grade. It Is not the law Itself, but the cer
tainty that tbe process of tbe law will be
operative that makes It the controlling agency
for general good. Until we have strengthened
our government by supplying something more
efficient than moral right or forco of logic to
I'lmh. I4 fuvilllnn An (rut niiastlnna. It will

be liable to flouting from nations that are ready
for tbe ultimate emergency. Moral suasion is
not yet th dominating Influence tn the affairs
of man. The time may eome when It will be,
and ita arrival will not be seriously retarded by
tbe United States making such preparation as is
prudently needed for national safety.
"Giving TJp' tie Philippines.
The administration measure, dealing with
tbe Philippines, sow before congress, appears to
have been put together for the purpose ot fool
ing even tbe Filipinos. Ostensibly a bill de
signed to settle definitely th attitude ot thia
government towards the islanders, and to tlx a
policy ot development that will lead to Inde
pendence for the Philippines, It settles nothing.
It contains promises as empty as air, and as In
sincere as any th democrats have made the
Filipinos these last fifteen years. What pur
ports to be a pledge to grant full Independence
within a definitely fixed time is hedged about
with sues provisions as finally will leave the
question as open as It is today. Other suggested
reforms are as Idle and as Inefficient a the
moves already made by the administration.
which has gone so far in th direction of over
turning what bad already been done tor the ad
vancement ot th Islanders. Th democrats do
not, apparently, dare take a decided stand on
this question, but cunningly offer something
that means nothing. It Is so clearly a subter
fuge with which to cosen voters the wonder is
that even desperation would lead tbe democrats
to resort to it. However, it may secure some
support for the president in bis extremity, but it
will da the Filipinos no good.
A Word to Letter Box Contributors.
Just a word to our letter box contributors so
tbey may understand better tbe rules we art
compelled to lay down for our own protection
to govern this populsr department.
In the first place, the limited apace available

order that It may not be monopolised by one or
two to the exclusion of the many. We, there
fore, ask our readers to hold tbelr letters down
to 300 words, reserving the edttor's right to
condense those that overrun.
Again, this column Is for the discussion of
current topics, but not for personalities and re
crimination, nor tor mere personal exploitation
This last Includes attempts to smuggle in ad
vertlaing disguised as letters to the editor. It
also Includes the promotion ot campaigns tor
candidates seeking nomination to political of
flcea.
Inaamuch as we cannot possibly return letter
box communications unless specially requested.
we make this explanation tor those who might
otherwise wonder why their letters fall of being
printed. ' W want It understood, however, that

Tho Story of the Emerald
OamtS I. BarrUa.
A CORRESPONDENT aaka wber amarelda orlsi
nally cam from; whether thy ar nt la
hardaaea to th diamond, and which ar th
moat valuable.
Th ancient obtained tbelr emeralds maJnly from
upper Ecrpt, alone th weatern bordora of th Red
Kea. But sine the dlacovory of America th princi
pal aourc of fin emeralds haa been at Muao, nar
Bogota, In the Republic of Colombia, where a win
haa been worked for th laat three centurlaa.
Emeralds do not rank next to th diamond In hard
neea, that plac of honor belnir taken by aapphlre.
They may dlaput the third plac with topas, but thy
ar mora certainly ranked fourth, coming between
quarts and topas. It la uaual to recken the hardness
of minerals on a scale of 10. Th diamond stands at
th top, with W polnta; the aapphir 1 credited with
t polnta. th topas with t, th emerald with 7H to S.
and quarts with 7.
Th charactertiatlc color of emeralds la brilliant,
vivid green. Th shade vary somewhat, but only an
expert can select among them. Th emerald la a
variety of tha mineral called beryl, whoa trenaparwt
specimens are also valued aa gema. It la a allloate
of aluminum combined with th rare element glud
num beryllium.
Th tolor of beryls ar green, blu. yllow, whit
and reddinh. Th peculiar rich graen of th emerald
Is du to tha preaonce of a small amount of axld
of chromium. Emeralds, on account of th rarity of
th best specimens, ar often sold at prices as high
as tho of dlamonda of equal or even greater else.
Ther la a blulah-graen variety of th beryl knowa
aa aquamarine, a gem of much leaa value than the
emerald, which la found In many plaoaa. Including
Maine. New Hampshire, North Carolina and Colorado
in this country. Opaqu crystals of beryl occasionally
attain an enormous sis'. Ther Is a specimen found
at Grafton,' N, II., which weighs 1,900 pounds, and
others welshing a ton or more ar known. Of course,
those masses, although composed of th mineral beryl,
have no value aa gems. Other soml-tranaparent ory
tals of beryl attain several pounds In weight
H is an Interesting fact that all tho most precious
stones, except th diamond, ar compound of th
common element aluminum. Th diamond stands by
Itself in not being a compound, but a pur element
(carbon), in tha form of a transparent crystal. Tbe
hardest of all known things. It la also th roost bril
liant, depending for Its beauty not upon aooldental
colore derived from extraneous soureea and chemical
blending, but solely upon Ita own marvelous power
of splitting up and dispersing th light wares, and
displaying their gorgeous apectral colors. It la a nat
ural spectroscope.
The great aluminum gems, on tha other hand, owe
their beauty mainly to Inherent colors, so that aaoh
of them la monochromatic. Th curious fact Just re
ferred to, vis.: that, except th diamond, all th finest
Jewel stone are based upon aluminum, comes our
dourly In th following list:
Diamond Pure crystallised carbon.
Bapphlr and Ruby Oxide of aluminum, colored by
traces of metallic exldca.
Emeralds and Beryls Silicate of aluminum and
gluclnum. i
Chry so beryl Compound of ehrmtnum and gtiietnum.
Topas Complicated silicate of aluminum.
Garnet sulcata of aluminum.
Turquoise Phosphate of aluminum.
Alt of these gems, with the single exception namad,
owe their colore to Impurities, and not one of thetn
la an unmixed element except the diamond.
Tat the splendor of the single color exhibited by a
fin emerald, aapphlre, topas or ruby la often so ef
fective that th market price of any of these stones
may, tn particular cases, exceed that of dlamonda
These softer stones also lend themselves to the gem
carver' art. Rmnrald haa sometime, been out into
various forms. Nero Is said to have had m emerald
