AS am u humble farmer and
therefore. one OF that industrial class
of whom the drones or parasites. Of
our human hive says, educate the
brute" / can hardly be expected to
know the meaning Of the word struc-
ture. Eut i fancy your dictionary
will tell you that it means q building
or edifice. And you will each under
stand that, therefore, it must have
both 4 foundation and a superstrlc.
tulre, You will also know, from OBJ
servation and experience, that the
foundation thereof must be relatively
strong and durable in order to prop
erly support and maintain the super
structure. II any structure, building
or edifce is not thus provided with
a relatively strong and durable foun-
dation, IT evidently has either not
been well and properly constructed
or its foundation has for some reason
become impaired. And if the owner
or occupant is as wise as the great
est of Gods creatures on earth are
suDpCYed to be, he will hasten to re-
pair the structure before it cOllapses,
and will naturally and Of necessity
put the repairing or added strength
into the foundation Of such struc-
tlre.
The producers ofiraw materials or
new wealth, of which the farmer and
his industry constitutes approximate
~ IS per cent, is the foundation OF
the industrial structure Of these Unit
ed States. Next in order in that
structure are the finishers and legit-
innate handlers. Of those raw prod
,icts. and next to them the legitimate
handlers and distributors of the nm
islled products. These three make up
the absolutely necessary and essen
tial portions of the structure, |. e.,
the foundation thereof and the base
Of tho superstructure. Next comes
the legitimate professions Of all
kinds. and public officers In all posi-
lions. Then financial institutions, i'm
urancc companies, real estate, etc.
And up near the top as a burden up
en- all beneath are the penal institu.
tions, public asylums of all kinds,
the il]cgitimate pursuits and the riff
raft of humanity. While at the very
top or pax of the structure are the
great trusts, the money power, and
the idle and predatory rich.
The Pyramids of Egypt are the
ideal and proper shape or contour Of
a :. properly constructed, stable and
absolutely safe and impregnable in
dustrial structure. When this coui-
try was in its infancy and for many
years after, the shape Or contour Of
our industrial structure was like a
low and broad based mountain; over
80 per cent of the intire structure
being then embraced in the founda-
ton and base thereof. Today, owing
to the fragrant and objectionable per-
version Of the energies and resources
of the country i'll recent years, Il
industrial structure is, in form and
contour. more like a New York sky
scraper' Or the Tower of Pisa. But
its foundation is not a deep and sol
i'd one like theirs; but a diminishing
and disintegrating one that is being
crushed by the enormous, unnatural,
unscientifs, top-heavy and abomin-
ably burdensome-for the fcunda-
tiOn-+5uperstructure which has been

Ponder well and long upon this

an unsafe condition. And imagine

The French Mission

Ambassador Herrick is on the sea- and due to land
at New York in a day or two. In a London cable
announcing his departure it was stated that he was
taking "a short vacation" Will he return?
The question is interesting, for two reasons.
% Gossip suggests the transfer Of Mr.. McAdoo
from the Treasury Department to Paris. The reason
gwen is, far from convincing. Why should Mr.. Nc
Adoo's. good fortune in winning the hand Of the
Presidents daughter disqualify him for longer ser
vice i'll the cabinet? The point is new in our poll
tics, and nicer than weighty. Presumably If Mr..
McAdoo should express a wish to go to Paris it
would be granted, and If he did go the embassy would
become all the more attractive in home as well as
foreign eyes by the presence of a daughter Of the
President of the United States,
co MI. Herrick's name figures prominently in the
gossip relating to the republican nomination for
Governor Of Ohio, and nomination day is not far
away. He has filled the Office of governor, and made
a goot-record in it. His popularity in the state con-
tinues.-- If he wants to lead his party this, year, now
is the -time for him to say so, and if his prospects
for the honor arc bright it will behoove him to re-
main close to base and make sure. In that event q
return to Paris will be out of the question.
Mr.. Herrick has been complimented by the Pres
ident. True, he would have been relieved Of his
duties a year ago if Mr.. McCombs had been willing
to assume them. Still it has been a testimony to
his efficiency to be allowed to remain SO long pend
ing the Presidents decision as to Il successor.
The post at Paris has many attractions. The city
is beautiful, and the life brilliant. A feeling Of long.
time attachment for America exists in France, with
full warrant. France gave us a lift when we first
started in business for ourselves, and, after several
stormy periods in her own career since, she is now
trying with excellent results the republican form OF
government herself. So that, at this day, in our ex-
change of ambassadors it is republic speaking to re-
public. Our representative in Paris and her represent
tative in Washington are made to feel much at home.
Mr.. Wilson has been taking his time, but not be.
cause Of a lack of good material for this place Any
one of a number of democrats would fit it Wellya#hav-
ing the address, the knowedge of general public
questions. and the means necessary for the duties.
We have been fortunate in our representatives to
France, and particularly SO in the past quarter cen
turn.-Washington Star.

FROM
ELKO POST0FF|CE
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY

Systematic robberies of the Elko
E~oStofice have been going on for
some time but are Just now being
made known to the public. The In
dependent has known of the matter
for several days but in accordance
with the wishes Of the postal author
tiles, the news has not been publish
ed until now. For several weeks,
there have been missed from various
boxes. letters containing money,
checks. etc. Recently a check was
SEM 10 the First National Bank OF
this city and was stolen from the
postotiice. The thieves took the check
to the Golden Rule Store and got II
cashed and since hat time the auth
critics have been on the lookout for
the guilty parties. Recently the man
ager of the Golden Rule Store was in
Reno and recognized one of the men
who cashed the check. The following
from the Journal is a description of
what followed:
'NNAA~SN1s SfNAAAhS Il D6laOl vi
the theater left his seat and, after
locating the manager notified him that
he recognized n of two men in the
audience as being a man who, a few
days before, had cashed 4 check for
sixty dollars in his store at Elko, the
check having been stolen from the
Elko ~postofice. a policeman was
summoned and the two men taken TO
police headquarters. The Elko mer-
chant returned to his seat in the thea
ter, delaying his appearance at police
headquarters until the conclusion OF
the performance.
At the police station 1t was found
that nc report had been made to the
Reno police of a post Office robbery
In Elko, nor a request for the holding
of any suspects. The two men con

and explained that he had identified
n o fthe two men as the one who
had Cashcd the stolen check in his
store.
Not until last night, however, did
the local police learn that there had
been %pOstoffice robberies in Elko,
and, that checks stolen had been cash
ed. In each instance the thieves
broke open the ]postoffice drawers of
Elko banks. One box was broken into
Saturday night three weeks ago. The
next day the drawer of another bank
was broken open and n week later
n OF the boxes was again opened.
Each time the thieves secured checks
and drafts, the majority of which
were not negotiable. OF those which
were negotiable several were cashed
by Elko merchants before the banks
discovered their loss"
