The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-02-22

The general secretary of temperance, morals and prohibi-
ton of the Methodist church has entered a vigorous denial,
saving that so far as his organization is concerned there is
not now and will be no movement to secure prohibition OF
tobacco, except to minors" That statement is explicit enough
and it is also sensible enough. But there are other organiza-
lions not blessed with sense.

TWO WAYS OF HANDLING ANARCHY

Ten DAYS ago Bolshevism made its first big play at Sc
attic and promptly a new man of the hour" was born. His
name is Ole Hanson; he is mayor of Seattle. Ten days ago
nobody outside of Seattle could have told you who its mayor
was. Today everybody can tell you. Why? Because, al
though born of immigrant parents, he is all American, without
any hyphen, and because he has moral and political courage
in spite Of The fact that he holds political office by virtue OF
the votes he received.
When bolshevism under the name of l. W. w. ism broke
loose in Seattle and 10000 men, most of them unwilingy
quit work in spite of former agreements, while their leaders
threatened every man in every occupation who didn't, Mayor
Hanson made this declaration:
The union mel, the business men the churchmen, must
first of all be citizens. ANY MAN WHO OWES A HIGHER
ALLEGIANCE TO ANY ORGANIZATION THAN HE DOES
TO THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE SENT TO A FEEDER
AL PRISON OR DEPORTED.

IuNE ROSES

1t has been many years since
nature has sent US such an abund-
ance of beautiful roses as the one
now here in all its glory of beauty
and plenty.
June, the month Of roses, is liy-
ing up to its reputation this year.
There are roses of all kinds, groge-
ous in color and fragrant with per-
fume which succeeds in making
its escape from prison of soft
petals in such aggregate quantities
that the very air is laden with the
oder of roses.
Winter before last the old hardy
ANNALS were frozen down to the
very edge of the ground and, as
consequence, last year the roses
we're not very plentiful Blessed
with a mild winter, the season-oId
shoots began this spring with
splendid advantage and the present
crop is the RESULT.
There are every kind of roses in
plenty this year. The sturdy old
bushes wave their laden branches
in the June breezes. the climbers
and ramblers over arbOrs, trellace
and shed ina bewildering array of
beauty, covering the unsightly
man-made creations with such
riotous splendor that this section,
this year becomes, for the quantity
and beauty of it's crop of roses, the
rival of California or famed Ore
gon.
It's like grasping the hand of an
honest, hardworking old friend to
take from the thorny branches of
the old rose bush, a portion of this
years generous offering. -Ex.

A SERIOUS CONDITION

When conditions of a country
reach that point that men under
the shadow of night will throw
bombs into the homes of citizens
who have tried to do their duty
under the law, the country should
assert itself and demand that such
men should be apprehended and
dealt with to the full extent of the
law. Organizations OF anarchists and
. present day school Of socialists
who teach and preach violence by
bhe minority until they secure con-
troll from the majority should not
be permitted to exist in a country
like this. Public sentiment should
drive them out of existence.
That fear Of public sentiment,
that knowledge that their doctrines
cannot secure public indorsment is
the very reason for crimes. They
are battling for control. They are
hopelessly in the minority but
while enjoying the blessings of a
nation whose security is based on
the wholesome principle of rule by
the majority they seek, by the
commission of outrages, to terrify
the majority into surrendering con-
troll to them.
They should be compelled to
face the force majority opinion.
upon which they have declared
war and which they would assassi-
nate-in the open. The courts
cannot lend themselves as aids to
the socialist conspiracies, and they
should speak ont in no uncertain
terms against them.

Flies And Mosquitoes

With the hot days of June and
July, expect the usual annoyance
and danger from flies and mosqui-
toes. A few well-made fly traps,
a little kerosene poured on the
surface of the water in the rain
barrel, and the exercise of care to
prevent water from standing in
puddles or tin cans and other re-
ceptacles will do much to prevent
the development of these insects.
Enlist the boys and the girls in the
fly and mosquito eradication cam
paigns.

LODGE CRAWFISHED

When Senators Lodge and
Borah made the charge that copies
of the peace treaty were in the
hands of certain NewYork men they
intimated very broadly that large
financial and business interests
were being favored by the admin
stration. Senator Lodge at first
boldly asserted that these copies
had been given out privately by
some member or members Of the
American delegation in Paris.
Senator Hitchcock pinned Lodge
down to state more definitely his
information, when Senator Lodge
said he presumed" the treaty had
been given out by Americans.
This scandalous charge was in
tentionally made to reflect upon
the president or upon his trusted
advisers, and if the charge we're
true, it would lay at the door of
the state department or at the
door of the peace delegation. Not
being true, it was, as Senator
Hitchcock said. 'monstrous"
The whole matter grew out of
the fact that the senator's concerned
knew so little about the course the
treaty must take, or cared so little
for the facts in the case, that they
tried to get a copy of the treaty
before it was ready for submission,
or even signed by the enemy de-
Iegates. President Wilson was
entirely within his rights in re-
fusing to furnish them copy until
it is complete and ready to submit.
Neither Lodge nor Borah would
tell the source of their inform
alton. The whole squabble is only
another proof of the intensity and
bitterness of the political fight
gainst the president. Senator
itchcock's demand for investi-
ion is understood to be at the
best of the president, and the
hand is imperative.
fhe public is Untitled to know
the truth and will know if there
be any truth connected with the
story. Senator Lodge, cornered
with a fiat challenge of the state
ment be made. returned into bis
trenches of presumption, seeking
safety and immunity in virtual
confession of per6dy. -Tennes-

HONOR SERGT. YORK
Worlds War Hero Made Colonel
for Life

I0r Lie
Over 5000 persons crowded
iato Ryman auditorium, Nashville,
Monday night to get a glimpse Of
Tennessee's greatest hero, while
fully 1000 others had to content
themselves with waiting outside
the big building in hope that they
might get a chance to find foot
ing inside during the exercises
incident to the presentation of the
magnificent gold medal from the
people of the state to Sergt. Alvin
c. York, of Fentress county, who
had brought fame to himself and
glory to the state of his nativity
by achieving the greatest single
act of the world war.
Persons with reserved-seat tick.
cts who got to the building later
than 5 O'Clock might as we'll not
have had any tickets, for police
had been stationed at the doors
with instructions not to allow any
others to enter. There never was
such a gathering in Ryman audi
torium.
Ii was Tennessee's tribute to her
form0st son, and when it comes to
paying tribute none would dare
say Tennesseans do not know the
game.
When Sergt. York and his bride
and mother and others of the York
party entered the assembly went
wild. The mother was given as
great an ovation as her big brave
boy.
Gov. Roberts then read a descrip-
ton of the medal, which is of solid
gold, hand carved. The Southern
cross is laid across the face of the
medal and set with rubies, diamonds
and sapphires-red, white and
bluc-while the state emblem is in
the center of the cross. A spread
eagle hovers at the top of the
medal and jast beneath is the
SHIELD of the Union in color9. At
the lower edge, and touching the
bottom of the cross, is an olive
wreath, while the medal is suspen-
ded by ribbon of red, white and
blue, and is held in place by a bar
pin with a blue enameled back |
ground across which appears the
word 'valor" in raised gold letters.
The inscription worked into the |
medal on a blue background is
Service Above Self" while on
the reverse side is this inscription:
Alvin Cullom York, American
Soldier, June 8, 1919. From the
People oftTennessee."
The medal was bought by The
Rotary Club out of funds
subscribed by the people of the
state.
