ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
 WORK IN ORDER

Mining claim owners must perform annual assessment work in the statu- tory amount before the close of the year owing to the failure of the bill recently presented in Congress pro- Mding for suspension of such labor this ye. and in relation to which a referendum vote was recently held at the suggestion of Delegate Grigsby.
 As nothing has been heard regard- ing the matter since the referendum results were wired to the delegate. the Nugget wired to its Seattle correspon- dent to ascertain what action had been taken by Congress on suspending the assessment work for 1920. The r~ply states that no action was taken by Congress on the suspension proposal and assessment work must be done

pointed yesterday continued to grind away at the organizntions prelimin- ary convention work through motions. the second days session of the con- vention escaped d second keynote speech by the selection Of Senator Lodge for permanent chairman, thus making the temporary organization permanent.
 Today's business so far has con sisted of hearing n report of the pro- gress made by the committee engaged in making the platform and a report from the Credentials Committee, which makes up the permanent roll. Mis- souri has now got back her lost dele. gates through the action of the Gre. dentaals Committee, which reversed the decision of the National Committee that conditions in the electorate in Kansas were so bad it would not seat any delegates. That restored the total number of delegates in the con. vention to 9S4 and the number neces. sary for nomination to 5s3.

HEARST HINTS HOOVER TO
 HEAD THIRD TICKET

Chicago. June s-The Hearts Chi cago newspapers have made a noisy campaign for Johnson and are now engaged in making series of charges which threaten to have strong bear ing on the convention proceedings. The Hearst press has been Johnson's principal support and the fact that the Hearst press is of democratic predilic- tion but is now undertaking to help name the next republican candidate for president is one of the peculiar twists.
 An eleventh hour sensation was sprung by Hearst's papers through T bitter attack on Herbert Hoover. who is the most prominent dark horse'' prospect now in view. It is charged by the Hearst journals that Wall street has plotted with Hoover to bolt to Johnson. Another version is that Hoover is to head a third ticket fl Johnson is nominated.

SUPREME COURT UPholpS DRY
 AMENDMENT

Washington. June 7-The final blow to tipe hopes of those who have been aborng for a return of the wet re- gime came today when the Supreme Count handed down a decision uphold ing as constitutional the prohibition amendment 10 the Constitution.
 The court also held that the Vol srsd Act enforcing the prohibition amendment is constitutional.
 The courts action means that the Nolstead law prohibiting the sale Of any beverage containing one half of one per cent or more alcohol must be enforced in every state of the union regardless of whether a state has rati- fled the prohibition amendment to the Constitution or not.
 The decision also means that state laws providing for a higher alcoholic content than the ons. half of one per- cent fixed by the Nolstcad Act. such as have been enacted in New Jersey. Wisconsin and Rhode Island are nulh- fled.
 The decision sweeps away all objec- tions raised against the enforcement of the amendment and the Nolstead law in the suit filed on behalf of New Jersey and Rhode Island in coInhina- tion with t,rn National pistillers Asso- citation

An ideal citizen is one who something good
in his town and spreads the good abroad that others
may benefit therefrom
OF course there other sdeght to the ideal cti-
zen, but The quality Of loyalty is ono which produces
tangible results.
There are three distinct attitudes whicha person may
assume toward the community which houses and feeds
him-to boost, to remain quesccnt to knock
The booster pushes his town along the quicscent
citizen ulls it TO sleep, and the knocker helps to put
out of business,
Which are you?
Perhaps you have not given it a thought You may
not realize Yourself which YOU are-but your neghbors
all know They have you accurately caalogued according
to your deserts.
If you booster, they admire you; ii you are
quescen they wonder when you will emerge from your
slumber and if you knocker, they yearn for the
day when you Will fold up your and silently fade
away.
Boost your town, aud its citizens will boost you
KNOCK it, and you knock yourself infinitely more.
