DITIONS FAVORABLE

Goldfeld Consolidated has again
become one of the chief centers Of
interest in mining circles, owing to
the recent spectacular perfOrman-
ces of the stock, both in the east
and west. Starting on Monday

Lid, and opened the next morning

enormous volume of trading follow
ed on Tuesday with evidences of
an active short interest in the san
Francisco trading and the price
jumping backward and forward sew
eral points within few minutes,
selling down to 20 and recovering
to sales at over 80.

been received from San Francisco,
stating that it was reported there
that an important strike had been
made in the Grizzly Bear mine.

PEOPLE AND ROADS

When a very amiable gentleman
steps into his car or climbs into
a buggy and takes a drive out
into the country and gets stuck in
the mud of a bad road he immed-
lately calls down something besides
blessings upon the heads of the
! people responsible for such condi-
tons.
1t never enters his head that
perhaps he himself is one of those
people. But he is.
He is one of them because he
has not done his part toward com
polling our officials to see that the
roads are in proper condition. He
has not raised his voice in be-
half of better country roads, or if
he has 1t has been so weak and
half hearted that it has neither
been heard nor needed.
1t is the duty and it should be
the pleasure of every citizen to
talk and work for better country
roads, for better roads mean more
prosperous conditions generally.
The man in town is just as much
interested in the conditions of
roads as the farmer, for when
roads are bad and the marketing
is difficult and expensive the farmer
is less prosperous, and this in turn
is detrimental to the best interests
of the man in town.
This is an era of road building,
and the time is oppOrtune for US
to rise to the occasion and look
to the condition of our own roads.
We, as people are not paupers
and there is no occasion for poor
roads in this community. That
such roads do exist is simply an
evidence that we as citizens are
not alive to our opportunities or
our duty, and that so long as we
sleep we may expect our officials
to share our smmbers.
While we are simply jogging
along others in other communities
are building better roads and reap
ing the financial results.
Are we to be satisfied with be-
ing the tail of the COW?
Boost for good roads and whoop
up the boosting!

SENATE UPHoLDs PRESIDENT

The Senate went solemnly on
record in favor of the Presidents
policy on the submarine issue. It
did this by vote Of 6S to IA, FOL
lowing the motion of Senator Ollie
M. James, emergency floor leader
of the Administration forces, to
table the Gore resolution and all
amendments and substitutes.
The action of the Senate was
unmistakable. It's vote indorsing
the Presidents policy regarding the
right of Americans to travel on arm
ed merchantmen was clear cut.
The Senate simply swept clear its
decks and threw overheard what
Senator James, after the record
vote, referred to as "the Senate's
rubbish"
Those who oppose the Presidents
submarine policy find no solace in
the action Of the Senate. The
Democratic Senators and RepubI-
cans who were lined up against
the Administration. seeing that the
Gore resolutions was doomed to an
overwhelming defeat, before the
Senate convened persuaded &c "a
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-03-08

thor to offer substitute resolution
that they hoped would becloud the
situation.
They were anxious "to find a way
out" and they thought the sub
stitute Gore resolution, providing
that the sinking Of an armed mer-
chairman carrying American citi-
zens would be a just and sufficient
cause for war, would defeat the
purpose Of the vote on the original
Gore resolution.
But they were mistaken. The
real issue was not lost sight of for
moment. The meaning of the
Senate is to give the President a
free hand in the exercise Of his
constitutional functions in dealing
with foreign affairs without inter-
ference on the part of Congress.
To this end, Administration leaders
insist, all preambles, resolutions and
substitutes for resolutions not with
drawn by the movers were tabled
by the vote.

That the country is united when
great problems arise is indicated
by the following article from the
Louisville Herald, one Of the best
Republican papers in the South:
SIN the stand he has taken
against violations of international
law and humanity at sea, the
President deserves the loval ann-
port of every citizen.
Sand the President needs that
support nowl
'He stands bravely and fearless
~ for the right in this hour of
national danger and suspense.
There are those, in Congress and
out of it, who would sacrifice the
countries henor and stana:.: a..,cn-
the Powers of the world, and they
are opposing the patriotic policy
outlined by the President. They
are inspired by various motives.
"'Alrs fair in war is the
maxim that moves the countries in
conflict to tear up the laws of ma
tons and humanity, but when the
world gets back to normal what
shall be said of the United States,
the greatest neutral the peaceful
bystander, if it also throws to the
wind all that civilization has
built up.
'To consent to such violations
would be to shirk our task.
"The United States viii not
permit the blowing up of merchant
men, whether armed or unarmed,
due warning and sthe re-
moval of passengers. We win not
even warn our countrymen against
taking passage on such merchant
men, because that would be marked
recognition of the unreasoning, ir-
assumption that one ma
ton can change rules made by all
at its own sweet will.
"Internationl law is not dead
because all the countries at war
have violated any more than the
aw against murder is dead in the
United States because last year
$500 persons were murdered in
his country. International law
IAN only be killed by the neutrals
by the countries at peace be-
coming accomplices in its assassi-
Ii ton. And President Wilson has
aid that the United States shall
lot be party to such a shameful
rhine. He is hacked by the
Masses.
"The American people are for
'eaee. They know that the Presi-
lent is for peace. But, with him,
We are only for peace that makes
10 sacrifice to the nations honor. /
Better than that nothing can be
aid. Anything less is dishonor-
unthinkable."

And then, with an unexpected
