SILVER ADVANCING.
Five Years History of the White
Metal.

The advance Of silver quotations
yertrrday to 591s cents, che second
time for this month, caused con idcr-
able pleasure and self-congratulation
among mining and bu-inrss men, as
it gives foundation to the nope as
we'll as the belief !hat the white
metal will not cease its upward march
until conditions will he such that all
OF the silver producers of the West
can he reopened and pr0titably work.
ed. During the past five years the
cause OF silver has had Il hard row to
hoe. and at times the prospect was
especially gloomy, us during this
period quotations touched as low as
% cents.
1t was five years ago yesterday that
silver quotations started on their
downward course. This was on Sat
urday, Jun" "a, 1893, the quotation
being 500 cents.

To BOYS and Girls.

Boys: The business of the
world needs you, but it wants you
well prepared for its work. 1t
asks for a developed mind. 1t
asks for a courageous head. 1t
asks for an unspotted character.
Have you those qualities? If so,
you are in demand. You need
not hunt for positions, for they
are hunting you, and they will
find you.
Girls: The first question a man
asks when he sees a girl flirting
is whether she is respected or
not; such bad practices raise a
doubt at once; this being the
case, no modest girl can afford to
indulge in the pastime. When
the down is brushed from the
peach its beauty is 50 marred
it can never be restored, and
when a girl throws lightly aside
that sweet and modest reserve so
becoming to a maiden, and which
80 elevates and enables her to
command the respect of all, she
loses her best charm, and be-
comes rather cheap and common,
to use no rasher terms. Flirting
may seem to the giddy and
thoughtless girl wonderfully
amusing, and she may get the
idea that she is fascinating, but
it is a most degrading thing, and
should be frowned upon by every
young lady who has ambition to
become a worthy and charming
young woman. "-Ex.

Governor Jones pardoned 297
convicts his first year. He seems
to be slowing up a bit, however,
since he has neard from the peo-
ple.--Helena World.
Great Scott! Is it not time to
slow up? When he went into
office there were something over
a 1000 convicts in the pen, and
to think he has pardoned out
over fourth of them! At
this rate he will entirely wipe out
and abolish our penitentiary in
less than four years, il he hap
pens to get second term. Yet
some few say they think Gov.
Jones has not liberated a single
criminal where he thought it was
not deserved, Then he shows
very poor judgement and is to be
held accountable therefor. Do
not forget the fact, Gov. Jones
went into Office on the 18th Of
January, 1907, and to January
18th, 1893, he pardoned 207 con-
victed criminals. No other
Governor has q record half so
bad as this, yet some have been
turned down for abuse of the
pardoning power; but for that
we believe Hughes would have
gotten third term. II Gov.
Jones is to keep his pardoning
mill grinding, he should call tho
Legislature in extra session at
once, and ask IL to abolish our
criminal courts, as they are,
under his administration, n
useless expense. We like Gov.
Jones, personally, but positively
cannot endorse his ofGcia record
