IN MEMORIAM.


The subject Of this sketch, Mrs Hen
ry Boone, was born Martha Bray neal
Rawleigh, North Carolina, Nov rs, 1921,
and died at her home in this ne;ghbor-
hood, August 10, 1907.
Her parents moved 70 this State wher
she was only ten years Of age. Sht
professed religion and joined the Bay
fist church in her fourteenth year al
Salem, in Oktibbeha county, and was
married at the age of eighteen, 20 Mr.
Henry Boone. She was left a widow
in her thirtieth year,
She has long been known, by yourg
and old in this section, as Grandma
and in her demise the Oldest citizen and
pioneer woman of northwest Noxtbco
has passed away. Grandma Boone was
a woman of close observation ard keen
native wit, with a memory tb25 went
back to the earliest settlement Of this
country agd it was intensely interest
ing to heM her tell Of those times.
She was very active woman unit J
five or six years ago, and not a sick
room in this community but what she
did not visit and she was always willing
to lend a helping hand. This unseliist
service and persistent effort to bring
comfort and goodness in the lives OF
others, brought a happiness to her in
her last years, surpassed by anything
the writer ever witnessed. She seemed
to have no sorrow of heart, no doubt
of the future, no restlessness, no lone
illness or bitterness of soul, but yielding
with resignation and peace to the will
of God. Her life was an example for
others to emulate, and her memory will
be held dear by host whom she has
eomforted in sorrow and nursed in sick
ness. A FRIEND.

ABE RUEF,s CONFESSION,

Ex Boss Abraham Ruef made some great plays during his dictatorship of sapaFraneiseo and there are many who believe that he made the biggest one yet when he confessed to his copniving at corruption, .on Wednesday. Ruef is undoubtedly g genius. It may be true that he mades the confession to save the lives of his aged parents, who are without doubt. greater sufferers than himself because of, his erookedness in the past, but he should not be made an object of hero worship because he has thrown up the sponge before his losing fight began.

commendation because he wishes to spare his father and mother unnecessary sorrow.
 Ruef says in his statement published in yesterday s Silver Belt that corpora. tions thought they had to pay for fa. vors and privileges and did so; that had they asked for certain franchises without opening barrel, the supervis- ors would have granted them. If the corporations were laboring under any delusion regarding the grating prociiv' ities of the municipal officials, it was certainly the fault of the latter, al though the corporations themselves were equally to blame in the matter Ruef admits having been the go-be' tween, which he says was a necessary function. He was the man to take the "'goods " from the corporations and hand it to the supervisors, but there is undisputed evidence to show that Ruef and Schmitz secured the bulk of the poodle and the puppets who sat on the board of supervisors took what they could get.

FOREIGNERS IN GLOBE

The increase of foreign labor in Globe is in,a great measure to be deplored. Foreigners who come to this country to become citizens, to abide by and sup port the laws of the country, to educate their children in the manners and GUS toms of the country and to invest their savings here, should be given every en- courageemnt. This class is not detri. ment to the locality in which they take up their residence. It is the element of distinetively low-grade foreigners, of which class Globe has more than it has ever had, that this article refers; the foreigners who are making more money in a day working in local mines than they could make in month in their own country; who are herded in miser- able shacks, not, of course, from pow erty, but the desire to live as eheaply as possible; who patronize local mer- chants only when absolutely necessary and who send out of Globe and out of America thousands of dollars each monthly pay day.
 On the two days following the last pay day, it is estimated that at least $20.00O was sent to foreign countries, principally Italy and Slovenian coun- tries. The first day the local postoffiee issued foreign money orders to the extent of $5,4O0 and the following day s4,70O, total of slO,l00. This of course does not include almost like amount sent out in drafts through the banks. Business men state that in the various lines their trade is not as good as when there was only half as many men employed in the mines and when the great majority of them were Amer. jeans. While not generally opposed to foreigners, the Silver Belt believes that whenever practicable local mine owners and managers should give the prefer enee to American miners, both for the betterment of their future interests and for the best interests of the camp and community.
