yer they will have, but at high
er price than ever before i'll the
last quarter of a century. This
and many other reasons that
have caused a continuous de-
mand for this metal since the
war began, have been intensified
of late by the dire necessity OF
the government financiers OF the
warning countries and the re-
markable thing is that silver has
not scared sky-high long ago.
1t is almost certain that at
the close OF the war, silver will
be placed on a stable basis in
IFS relation to gold, in other
words, re.monetized. Now, the
United States, having praeti-
caliy gained control OF the
worlds gold supply and being a
creditor to Europe for gigantic
sums, will be in Il position to
dictate what the ratio shall be,
and should certainly protect its
silver mining industry. Where
as, heretofore, England has set
the price of the white metal,
/ Uncle Sam can do a little price
making himself.
II silver were on a stable basis,
even at rs cents per ounce, there
are many old-tlme silver mines
in Colorado, as well as in most
ofthe Western states. that could,
and no doubt would, be operat-
ed at a profit if the owners were
assured permanent price for
their product. However, under
the present conditions. IS cents
is not high enough mark.
Taking into consideration the
increase in the price Of such nee
essary items figuring in its pro-
duction rs explosives, smelling
charges, steel, machinery, coal.
labor, etc, in some cases an in
crease OF 100 per cent or more,
it would he found that one dol.
lar an ounce would be II more
Just price. Give silver "A pro.
portionate raise and the mining
industry will immediately be re-
habilitated.
However, ii silver is re-mone.
tized, it will not be for the bene-
tit ol the silver miner-well,
hardly. Don't fiatter yourselves
with that belief. The silver pro-
ducers have never yet been able
to get an equitable share of the
wealth they produced. 1t will
be because the world is FORCED
to take such step for the bet
ter convenience of international
COMMERCE and because the
nations OF Europe, suddenly be
coming debtor to the neutral
nations for vast billions OF mon
ey, can pay the debt easier by
remonetizing silver and thus,
at the stroke OF pen, DOUBLE
the basic money of the world.
The Asiatic nations have al
ways adhered to the use of silver

Withdraw Or Be
Badly Beaten.

Kentwood, July 29.-The meeting
here last night supplied all that was
necessary to the conviction that
there is going to be little to the
Congressional campaign in the
Sixth District, but Sanders. Already
interested in the fight even in Tan
eiDahoa Parish, where Ponder lives,
is waning and people are speculat.
ing as to how long Sanders oppo.
nent will remain in the race, Peo-
pie in Kentwood. as in Amite, do
not see how Ponder can answer the
indictment which the letters and
interviews in his own past speeches
hang upon him.
Local politicians estimate that
Kentwood will give Sanders eighty
FIVE per cent of the entire vote OF
the box and this in the face of the
statement by Sanders is unknown
in this portion of the District. There
was a well.founded conviction in
the minds of the crowd last night
after having heard Sanders speak
that the speech made at Baton
Rouge last Monday night by Ponder
will be sufficient to defeat him anc
his attitude toward the Nationa
Democratic demonstration is losing
him the support of the good Demo
cratic party all along the line of the
Illinois Central.
Some four or five hundred Kent
wood voters left their work las
night to hear Sanders speak, or t
meet him afterwards for chat an(
assurances Of support. AS one citi
zen expressed it We have ha(

Warning To Wives

CITY Attorney Tallev has always
had a kind feeling for the fairer
sex and for this reason has called
the attention of the Enterprise to
part of a lecture delivered by Judge
OFT Saturday morning when the
Judge was judiciously lecturins a
man for whipping his wife.
If a man marries woman. ne
ought not to whip her..unless she is
mighty mean" If there are any
mighty mean married ladies in
Bogalusa they will likely get little
comfort if their husbands are
brought before Judge OFT on a
charge of wife beating.

The Old Man And Jim

that James Whitcomb Riley wrote were:
Well. eood-by jim.
Take keer of yourself"
They are from the verses entitled THE
Old Man and jim" The poem follows:
"0la Man Aad Jim"
Old man never had much to say
'Cepun to Jim,-
And Jim was the widest boy he had
And the old man jes wrapped up in him!
Never heerd him speak but once
Err twice in my life.-and first time was
When the army broke out. and Jim he
went.
The old man backin' him fer three
months
And all at heerd the old man say
Was, jest as we turned to start away
Well. good-by. jim:
Take keer of yOurse'f'
Feared like. he was more satisfied
JeS' lookin' at jim
And likin' him all to hissef-like, see?-
Cause he was jes' wrapped up in him!
And over and over mind the day
The old man come and stood round in the
way
While we was drilin', a-watchin' jim
And down at the depot a-hearin' him say
well, eOOd-by. Jim:
Take keer OF yourself"
Never was nOthin about the farm
Distinguished Jim;
Neighbors all ust to wonder why
The old man peared wrapped up in jim
But when Cap. Bigger he writ back
At Jim was the bravest boy we had
In the whole dern riement, white or
black,
And his fshtin good as his farmin bad.
AT he had led, with bullet clean
Bored through his thigh, and carried the
flag
| Through the btoodest battle you ever
seen.---
The old man wound up a letter to him
AT Cap read to US, at said, Tell Jim
G0od-by.
And take keer of hisse'f"
jim come home jes' long enough
To take the whim
AT he'd like to 60 back in the calvery-
And the old man jes' wrapped up in
him!
jim lowed at he'd had such luck afore
Guessed he'd tackle her three years more
And the old man give him a colt he
raised
And folered him over to Camp Ben W adj
And laid around fer a week er SO.
Watchin' Jim on dress parade
Tel finally he rid away,
And last he heerd was the Old man say
We'll, sood-by, jim:
Take keer of yourself
Tux the papers, the old man did,
A-watchin' fer jim
Fully beievn' he'd make his mark
Some way-jes wrapped up in HIM.
And many a time the word nd come
At stirred him up like the tap of drum
At Petersburg, fer instance, where
jim rid right into their Cann0nS there,
And TUX EN-, and pointed EN- t othe
way,
And socked it home to the boys in gray
AS they scOoted fer timber and on and on

And the old mans words in his mind al
day.
Well, good-by, Jim:
Take keer of yourself
Think of private, now, perhaps,
Well say like Jim,
Ats clumb clean up to the shoulde
straps
And the old man jes wrapped up in hin
Think of him---with the war plum tn
And the glorious old RedWhite-and-Blu
A-laughin the news down over Jim,
And the old man, benin over him.

Douglas Island news., 1916-04-12
Oh, Spring, SprinRl You giddy young thing.

For several years before the Stroller left Yukon he had been the dean of the newspaper fraternity in that territory, which position his leaving passed on to Editor Chas. R. Settlement, of the Dawson Daily News When Charley J heard the Stroller was to leave Yukon he indulged in a "smoke" as follows:
 Stroller Elmer J. White, editor and publisher of the Whitehorse Star, who has been in continuous performance stunt in newspaper work in Yukon since he stampeded North in 1897 and broke into the field with the old Klon- dike Nugget at Dawson, has arranged, like Villa, to retire across the line, at least for the time. The Stroller writes that be has secured the Douglas Island News, and will take personal charge, and that he has leased the Star
 In the departure of Mir. White the Yukon loses one of it's most loyal and ardent boosters. From the day be took up the pencil in Dawson he has sup ported Yukon and her enterprises and attractions consistently and ably. Knowing no fear, and free from hypoc- risy as the sun from icicles, Stroller White always let the people know where he stood on the issues and affairs of current interest. His going to Alaska means an acquisition of a sterling citi- zen for that booming and progressive young territory. His voice will be heard iu the land, and his good right arm yet has wound up iu it millions of miles of good copy-serious, humorous and otherwise-with which to regale the proletariat.
 Stroller White never yet has failed to make good, and it is a certainty that in his new field prosperity and happi- ness will accompany him. During bis soiourn in Southern Yukon he was an ever-energetic force in the interests of the people, and through the medium of bis press the most influential and active resident in affairs of consequence in Southern Yukon for years. There is DO reason to think that he will be any less such in bis new location. Here's to the Stroller-may he live long, and multiply aud wax strong.
