POLITICAL zDVERTfSEMKNT

PATRIOTISM
The question of Patriotism has been raised by GER
tain advocates of prohibition.
WHEREIN is it unpatriotic for the opponents of
prohibition to assert their freedom and the right of
Self=determinatOn or to oppose the substitution
OF state control for self-COntrO which is and ev
er has been the foundation of character?
On the other hand, WHEREIN is it patriotic to
delay and block essential war measures by attaching
prohibition riders and amendments?
and allied tradesmen in Missouri are fighting under
the American flag. Is it patriotic, or even honest
to destroy the livelihood and property of the ia
theirs and mothers Of these soldiers who fighting
for your honor and the security of your property?
The Government has levied heavy taxes on the
stocks Of retail dealers and still heavier taxes are
pending. Is it patriotic to advocate the destruc-
ton Of the goods which these dealers have paid
and must pay taxes?
The stock of nine St. Louis breweries is owned by
British investors Is it patriotic to Destroy with
out compensation the property of citizens of an
allied nation?
The other breweries of St. Louis are owned by
American citizens who have gladly met every test
of loyalty and patriotism from buying war saw
ing stamps to subscribing millions for liberty bonds
and giving money and personal service freely to the
Red Gross and other war activities.

lover, she made a full statement to

took pity on the friendless girl,
signed her bond and took Gabrielle

and Gabrielle were returning

Delegates are present from the gold
producers and economists interested
in this industry as we'll as from the
American mining congress and the
western chapters of that congress.
The treasury department was asked
to send a representative.
In speaking of the purpose OF the
+. ID. Boyle of Nevada said:
ways and means must be found
to stimulate the production OF gold
in the face of ever increasing oper-
ating costs which at this time actual
ly threaten the industry in the west.
The question goes further than
the mere lending of assistance to an
industry. The maintenance OF gold
reserve is matter of serious con-
Germ to all of the belligerent coun-
tries. Recent legislation, beneficial
to the silver industry, found general
governmental support that silver
might be utilized in the possible
measure to relieve the drain on the
gold reserve created by adverse Ori-
entail trade balances. This relief
will be only temporary if the war
continues. Gold production will re-
main a doubly-essential industry.
at is recognized that such as
sistance as may be rendered to the
gold producers requires study, IN
volving as it does, an intricate ques-
ton possibly affecting credits every
where, and that, if anything is to
be accomplished, the ideas of the
students of the subject must be pre-
sented in crystallized form and with
the backing of a great section of the
country
Measures of relief up for discus
sion include preferential treatment
of gold producers respecting mining
materials, transporting and smelter
charges; governmental exemptions
or subsidies; net increased market
price for gold; governmental oper-
alton of gold mines, or a complete
reconsideration of the questions OF
the gold reserves. the comparative
values of gold and silver, and foreign
exchange.
Governor Boyle recently placed
himself at the head of the silver-pro-
ducers and at Washington aided in
the move that resulted i'll the fixing
of S100 an ounce as the price OF
silver.
