We Shall Fight tor Right and Democracy

But the right is more precious than peace, and we
shall fight for the things which we have always carried
nearest our hearts-for democracy, for the right of those
who submit to authority to have a voice in their own
government, for the rights and liberties of small nations.
for a universal dominion of rights for such a concert of
free peoples as shall bring peace and safety TO all nations
and make the world itself at last free. To such a task
we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes. everything
that we are and everything that we have, with the pride
of those who know that the day has come when America
is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the
principles that gave her birth and happiness and the
peace which she has treasured. God helping her, she can
do no other."-President Wilson.

There are many ways of helping-none of them
selfish Every method is service translated into
action that tends to the general good. Many per
sons regard service at sea, service at the battle
front, service in the air as the only forms of genu-
inely patriotic effort. But there are other absolute
ly essential and equally patriotic forms of service,
on which the sailor, the soldier and the aviator de
pend, not only for their efficiency. but for their
very existence, and without which all military eff
fort must cease. There is the service of the skill
ed workman in the shop, of the trainman on the
great trunk lines, of the farmer in the field, the
miner and the smelterman.
The United States must prove itself the decis-
i've factor in this world war. Therefore every per
son must do his or her part, m%anfully and faithful
ly. No one may rely on another to perform his
duty. The entire moral and material potentialities
of the nation must be modified. First of all, much
money will be required-not a gift of the govern
ment, but a great loan. The conditions of this loan
will be outlined by the government within a. few
days. 1t will quickly be subscribed for by tens Of
thousands of people, who will wish to be enrolled
az loyal, helpful patriots. The bonds will probab-
ly carry 3@ per cent interest and will be an abso-
lutely safe investment.

The Ely District should demonstrate it's pa
triotism by the generous purchase of these bonds.
1t is not important that a few rich men here should
take a great portion of these bonds. 1t is important
that many people should be buyers, even if for
only small amounts. Every person. within the
reasonable limit of his or her means. should help.
The First National Bank offers the free use of
its organization to all who wish to help the United
States government by buying these bonds. Every
one can participate, rich or poor, boy or girl, man
or woman, capitalist or workman. The First Ma
tional Bank will help you to buy one bond or many
bonds, without a penny of extra expense to you.

MHOW CAN HELP WIN THE WARP"

1t will make telegraphic application for you; it
will transmit your money to Washington; and it
will bring the bonds you buy from Washington to
Ely at its own expense.
The cost to you will be the price in Washington
All you need to do is to call at the First Nation
al Bank, leave 10 per cent of the value of the bonds
YOU wish to buy, and the bank will attend to every
detail of the purchase and delivery of the bonds
without cost to you other than the price of the
bonds. ~
To those who wish to help to an extent greater
than their available cash, but not exceeding bonds
to the amount of $1,000 to any one purchaser, the
First National Bank will advance all but 10 per
cent of the value of the bonds and permit the pur-
chaser to pay the balance in nine equal monthly
installments, bearing 4 per cent interest, this being
the rate of interest we are paying to savings depos-
itors for the money loaned on this proposition.
The First National Bank has already started to
list the names of those who wish to take part in
this loan soon to be announced by the government,
so that there need be no delay after the announce
ment of conditions is made in Washington The
bank will handle this matter without commission
or profit of any sort. Plan to do your part.

insurance man. and Miss Opal

assistant, were married in Colorado

Since Mr.. Whites remov al to
Denver two years ago, where he
entered more broadly into the in
surance activity, Mrs. White, or
Miss Oxley as she was known by
everybody, continued to work in
the Office of the Richard White
Insurance Agency with Mr..
Whites business partner, Herbert
johnson. AS notary public she
signed the name opal Oxley" to
hundreds of documents. The
many friends of the couple always
thought there would some day be
a wedding but did not dream that
they had long been man and wife.
Recently, when "Miss Oxley'
talked about moving to Denver,
her friends accused her of going
to be married, but she denied the
allegation and said she was going
to work down there. When it was
suggested that sherawas going to
work in Dicks" office, she again
denied and her friends continued
to wonder. Mr.. Whites brother,
John, forced him to confess that
they were married six years ago,
and just before leaving for Denver,
Mrs. White also pleaded guilty.,
but promised never to do it again.
Mr.. and Mrs. White have host
of good staunch friends who are
congratulating them at this late
date and extending best wishes for
a "happy married life".

Threatens TO Start
New GeorgetoWnPaper

Charles Schiele, who was con-
templating the purchase of the
Georgetown Courier. and who was
associated with j. S. Randall in
the publication of the Courier for
a few weeks under the title of
business manager, has severed
negotiations aud is now planning
to start an entirely new payer.
Mr.. Schiele comes from Colo
RADIO Springs and lis newspaper
man of experience. 1t is said that
he is receiving considerable en-
couragement from various people
in the upper end of the county
who have long been dissatisfied
with the policy of the Courier
management. j. S. Randall, the
veteran editor, has seen other
papers come and go, and his
Courier has outlived all COM
petitors, and is today we'll edited
and nicely printed paper-far
above the average-but does not
receive the advertising support to
which it is justly entitled. Whether
or not there is room for still an
other paper remains to be seen.

Ministers Will Fight
For Their Country

Rev. Leonard Mytton, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, attended
the fall meeting Of the Presbytery
in Denver last Tuesday, and he
reports that every speech was
punctured with patriotism. Rev.
Jesse Penney Martin, Phi. D., re-
signed from the pastorate of the
Hyde Park Presbyterian church
that he might devote his entire
time to his duties as chaplain of
the First Regiment Colorado In
fantry, to which he has been ap-
pointed with the rank of captain.
One of the pastors in the Pres
bytery, John Knox Hall, stated
that he had offered his services to
two governments-Canada and the
United States-to handle gun
in the trenches or anything else
that might be needed for the
furtherance of the war.
A number of the members of
the Presbytery have sons in the
army.
Nothing was more evident than
that the whole body of Presby-
terian preachers and laymen are
positive in the conviction that the
United States is right in the pres
ent struggle and that they are pre-
pared for any sacrifice that may
be required.

County Organizes to Promote the

attractive to tourists to the very
top of the range, where the scenery
is the most magnificent in Colorado.
The following com mittee was
appointed to complete the organic
alton o. Clear Creek County Com
mercial Assn, and will meet in
Idaho Springs Thursday evening,
September q: w. H. Stephens,
E. Nj. Moscript, J. D. Milliren,
Z. j. Nicholas, w. H. Jones, Mrs.
E. H. Miner, James T. Garrett
and William Barrick.
The meeting resulted largely
from the efforts of w. H. Stephens,
now of Idaho Springs, who is
perhaps the logical man to repre-
sent both ends Of the county in
the various differences that might
arise in the anxiety for each local.
ity to reap the advantages to come
from the era of prosperity that is
now at hand.
In speaking for Silver Plume
Mr.. Stephens said: I'VE have a
vast mineral area that is traversed
by many veins that show splendid
groupings, that will pay under the
present high price of silver, and
these can be developed into large
properties when the attention of
investors is called to the district.
We are in need of better roads
in some parts Of our district, and
especially do we need the grade
between Georgetown aud Silver
Plume reduced to the minimum.
Georgetown should take the initi-
ative in the matter. Fred Dewey
has guaranteed to raise $500 in a
few hours and give 500 himself
toward said road improvement.
This would surely bring the road
up to the strip owned by the
county, and the commissioners
can be depended upon to do their
part. This would leave only a
short and inexpensive piece to be
built. With some assistance from
Idaho Springs this can oe done
this fall if Georgetown will only
make the start. No finer SC emery
exists than that west of Silver
Plume, and the fishing for twelve
miles west could be made the best
in the state. We believe the min
ing industry, however, is the most
important of all things to consider,
and Silver Plume has the mines
and the making of mines, so let US
all work earnestly and faithfully
together for the betterment and
upbuilding of our county,"

A well attended and enthusi-
astic meeting was held at the
county court house Thursday even
ing aud the preliminary arrange
ments were made for the organ
ization of the Clear Creek County
Commercial association. the pur-
pose being to promote the general
interests of the entire county, not
only in a mining way but to furth-
er the development of our tourist
business by the improvement Of the
county roads.
The meeting was attended by
more than forty representative
business men from Idaho Springs,
a number from Silver Plume.
Georgetown and various parts of
the county. John J. White was
chairman and Charles Wood ward
secretary. Geo. E. McClelland
was the first speaker of the evening.
BE urged that the different sec
tion of the county unite to pro-
mote the general welfare. Mayor
E. M. Moscript followed with an
urgent plea for the improvement
of the roads of the county and the
attraction of vast tourist business.
Rev Benz. Eitelgeorge spoke of
of the wonderful advantages to be
gained by working together as a
unit and drew a graphic picture OF
-Ass4aTure pessihifitiesofthe tourist
business if properly developed.
He said the time may come when
the road from Idaho Springs TO
Silver Plume will be a boulevard,
lighted with numerous electric
lights, the current produced by
the falling waters of our beautiful
streams.
Jacob n. Robson of George
town said that whatever differences
between the two ends of the
comfy had existed has bee n
eliminated and that we now stand
ready to pull together for the COM
mon good of old Clear Greek.
Rev. Leonard Mytton spoke
particularly of the loose credit
system of our merchants, or in
fact the lack of credit system,
which causes tremendous losses
from numerous bad accounts and
forces our merchants to sell their
merchandise at much higher prices
than they would if on cash basis.
Chairman White took advantage
of the opportunity to inform the
newly organized body wh t
Georgetown and Silver Plume
will expect in the way of road
Improvements. They are particu-
larly anxious that the steep grade
on the Silver Plume road be elimin-
ated and that the road be made

was brought before Judge H. S.
Glass on a charge of stealing ore
from the Anchor mine near the
head of Virginia canon, but upon
being questioned by District At
torney Samuel w. johnson Grif
fin stated that he had leased the
property, and controversy had
arisen over two parties claiming
the royalties from the ores ex-
tracted.
Griffin informed the district at
torney that he had agreed to
place the royalties in a bank and
allow the two parties to settle the
matter between themselves, and
that it positively was not his in
tention to steal the ore, where.
