The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1916-11-11

No one thinks of the aggregated freaks that sur
round the president in his cabinet room as serious advis-
ors. Its Just a molly crowd as one man put it, with
out order or definite ideas-at the head of a navy a fellow
who does not believe in a navy and at the head of the
war department a man who is a theoretical paciist who
does not or did not believe in an army.

If any doubt remains as to the trend of the Philip
pine vote, wipe it off the political slate. Late arrivals of
Manila newspapers proclaim answering loyalty to the
flag and all it stood for in the campaign. Conclusive
proof of sincerity is afforded by the featured headlines:
of Democrats and president Wilson Routs His
CRITICS" While the headings sound a familiar note,
they embody the temper of the islanders and indicated a
lively determination to land on the winning side at the
finish.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-How Frau
Sehraat, Emperor Francis Josef's
Intimate for nearly two score
years, and the woman to whom
he was credited with pouring out
his sorrows, was refused a last
view of the man she loved, was
told today in wireless dispatches
received in Zurich.
According to the report, Frau
Schraat drove to Schoenbrunn
palace on the morning after the
aged emperor died. She demand
ed admittance to the palace at
which during the life Of the ruler
she was an almost daily visitor
and permission to take a last fare

Court attendants admitted her
to an ante-room while servants
sought to obtain from the new
ruler and his court a decision
whether she should be admitted.
Word finally came back to Frau
Schraat that she could not see
the emperor's body and she was
urged to leave at once.

MISSOULA, Mont, Nov. 80. =
Miss jeanette Rankin. first wom-
an ever elected TO congress, has
dark, brown hair, blue eyes and a
sunny, attractive face.
Most of the time she Is smiling.
Thirty-five years ago, she was
born on her fathers stock ranch,
on Grant Greek, Montana.
The ranch, a place of 400 acres,
is wedged into a mountain canyon
with the yastness of the west all
about.
Contrast the big. openness of
Montana with the squalor of New
York's east side, where Miss Ran
kin was instilled with horror at
what she saw, and YOU can readily
realize why she is set upon doing
her part to change living condi-
tons.
Not . Tomboy
Indians roamed the hills when
Miss Rankin first saw the light of
day. At night the zip of coyotes
broke the silences. 1t was to a
rough and western frontier that
the now Lady from Montana"
was introduced.
The Rankin ranch was six miles
from Missoula, broiling frontier
town of the day.
A man of some means, her faith
er operated a sawmill on the
ranch. Above the mill he had a
logging camp and oxen drew the
logs to the mill over a skid road
Jeanette Rankin had the run of
the ranch, and though an ardent
worshipper of the great out-of-
doors, 1t is said, by the old-timers
here, she was not a tom boy"
Still Does Own Sewing
Instead she gravitated to house
keeping proficiency under the
tutelage of her thorough going
moth/r, a Canadian woman, who
was teaching school when Rankin
came along and won her.

BE HEARTILY THANKFUL

In this country about all you need when any
thing is wrong is to tell folk about it, and pretty
soon they come out with their hammers and
make it right.
We used to have, for instance, some of the
worst municipal government YOU could find ANY,
where on this earth.
When newspapers and magazines ripped the
cover off it and showed up the filthy mess a GER
tain element in every community laughed and
said:
"Oh, what's the use9 1t has always been like
this and always will be. Why bother7'
They were foolish persons. To put good city
government in the place of bad city government
when the bad was apparently anchored, rock
cemented and steel-riveted, was some job. but
we're doing it!
The other day there was national convention
OF city officials, and it appeared from their pro-
ceedings that we are steadily building up some of
the best city government there is going
Beyond any kind of doubt the improvement has
been enormous There is hardly city in America
that isn't better governed now than it was ten
years ago. Better in every way; more honestly,
more capably more efficiently, with more regard
TO the people and far less regard to the bosses.
Exceptions exist of course, but this is the general
rule.
The season has come for giving thanks Then
give thanks heartily, o American, that it is your
lot to live in country where, when all is said and
done the thing that counts and controls is always
moral faith and moral purposeI
Underneath all the hurry of business and all the
distractions, there it is always the solid under
standing at bottom that right is right and the
steady determination to have it,
1t is so, as sure as you live and every man of us
knows in his heart that it is so.
~ THIS COUNTRY, A WRONG MADE
KNOWN Is A WRONG MADE RIGHT.
1t is bigger thing to have that than to win all
the battles in all the wars Don't forget if when
you give thought to your blessings.

THE WEATHER BUREAU FRAUD

The Weather Bureau of the Depart.

fraud.
Its record in the prediction line is
one long list Of failures.
II has never given warning Of disas.
trous storms. cyclones or hurricanes.
The record shows that all OF these
happenings in the United States have
come without warning from the Blu.
reau.
The only way the Weather Bureau
has ever won out has been by max.
ing a prediction and sticking to It
every day until It came true.
Take the recent hot spells. Last
week for example.
The Weather Bureau predicted:
Cooler Thursday"
II was hotter Thursday.

But the Weather Bureau kept 1t up
