THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT

The financial statement for Bates
county for the fiscal year ending
April 80, 1870, will Be found in an
ether column of The Times this week
and is deserving of a careful perusal
bv the taxpayers of the county.
Substantial gains in balances on
hand are shown in the five principal
funds in which Bates County's fl
nances are divided, with a total gain
of balance on hand over April go,
1919. of $s642.Io.
The bridge fund, which for, years
has kept the county's financial nose
to the grindstone shows a marked
and decided gain over the 1919 state
ment with decrease of $6I76.oo in
protested warrants outstanding ard
On increase in balance on hand of
$4828.6I, making total gain on the
bridge debt of $II,oo4.6I during tn:
past year. Loans and cash on hand
in the common and township school
funds total sI28, s6o.s3. a healthy in
crease in these important funds over
1919.
The Mt. Pleasant Railroad indebt-
edness account shows that during the
past year the bonds outstanding have
been reduced from $4,000 to $4,000,
a reduction Of $1,000 in the debt and
there remains on hand in this fund
cash balance of $I6,5I3.63 and in this
item alone is a gain of $ss27.so or a
total gain on this debt of nearly
$4,000
And It should be remembered that

nancial resources, that during this
time the court has paid off $1,000 Ct

DEMOCRATIC CHANCES BRIGHT

The New York Times (Independ-
ent) in a strong editorial advises the
Democratic party to nominate John
w. Davis, of West Virginia, now the
American Ambassador to Great Brit
ain, at San Francisco. The Times
very truly says that with the unset
tied conditions prevailing through
out the country following the great
war, for which many people are
prone to hold the party in power re-
sponsible, Republicans proclaimed
and people pretty generally conced-
ed that that party was in fair way
to win the next election. But the
action of the Republican Senate IN
defeating the peace treaty. through
petty politics and the failure Af the
Republican Congress, following
session of a whole year, to pass any
reconstruction laws. and doing moth
ing to relieve the abnormal condi-
tions prevailing in this country, has
lost that party its chances, and the
Democrats will again win if they arc
wise in a choice of their presidential
nominee. The Times is very lauda-
tory of Mr.. Davis and thinks he :s
the commanding figure in American
politics today, who sizes ND fully to
the high standard for President.

coMMoNPLAcE HERoIsM

(By a Miner at West Calusa Mine.)
Heroism is the unextinguishable
torch. 1t was kindled when man be-
came distinct from the beasts of his
primeval habitat. 1t is distinct from
bravado, from idle risk at the bidding
of folly, and in nine out of ten in
stances finds expression in the un-
selfish wager of ones own life for
the safety of others. The scriptural
dictum still stands as it's test.
Greater love hath no man than this,
that man lay down his life for his
friend" To the last letter this was
the law that the miners at Black Dia-
mond, Washington, responded to when
three members Of rescue team gave
up their lives a few weeks ago in a
practice drill.
Never a green field again for them,
or a jest with "the boys" or Sat
urday night in town, or the smell OF
supper and the sight of smiles as the
men come off shift. Your hero is no
petty gamester; he stakes his all and
wins or loses in proportion. He is a
glorious gambler, throwing dice with
fate.
The men of the Black Diamond
rescue team went Gown deserted
shaft to practice the drill of life
saving, to gain dexterity and knowl-
edge that might at any moment be
called for in the event of disaster.
The pit was pregnant with danger;
with risks they had often challenged,
and from the darkness the dread
black damp breathec toward them.
Death came with it. 1t is idle to specu-
late on what precautionary measures
were overlooked. AT the Black Dia-
mond mine there are specialists and
experts who know, and in the safri
flee of the teammates they are find
ing precepts of safety for the living.
The transcendant fact is that casual
human character, of the sort that one
touches each day, has again proven
it's spark of divinity. 1t is automatic
in the mines that every miner is his
brothers keeper anG rnat an hour of
peril should find mucIer, miner and
foreman alike, instant in defying per
sonal danger in orGer to effect res
cues
The trio of Black Diamond miners
died splendidly according to their
code.
