EACH MUST
HELP HIMSELF

If man is lazy, shiftless and unre-
liable there is no power on earth that
will make him prosperous and re-
spected If a man has bad teeth, he
must have them fixed resolutions
and conventions will not do him any
good. And If he has bad habits, he
must overcome them or suffer the
consequences. Emerson said: IF the
black man is feeble and not important
to the existing races, the black man
must serve; | say to you, you must
save yourself, black or white, man OF
woman, for other help there is none. "
We engaged In terrible war to help
the black man, and spent billions in
money in his interest, but now admit
that he must save himself. And eE-
actly the same thing is true of the
white man. If he is feeble, unrelia-
bit and not important to his race,
and not on parity with average men,
he must serve; other help there is
none. All the churches and conven-
tons have fought for inferior man
since time begun, but he is still where
he was at the beginning. and always
will be. unless he helps himself,
which he may easily do.

WHAT MINING
MEANS

The West has been txosriels q

dustries-copper mining In 1913 the
copper output of ~ couatry lotcl : |
1,224, 484.09S lbs. If ths output for the
balance of 1921 approximates the
June rate. 1921 domestic production
will be 440O00,000 lbs. Of ahou,
S00,000,000. lbs less than for 1912.
Many western communities which
were inclined to treat mining with
Indifference during the war period
have at last come to realize what this
great employing industry means in
the way of western pros peritv Labor
agitators and tax agitators who have
used this industry as a target for
their activity will find that for some
time to come in the future they will
not be welcome in mining communi-
ties. Too many citizens and working
men now realize that their prosperity
is inseparable from that of the mines
in many of our western states.
1t will be a welcome day when
western mines can again resume their
activity.

Cadets Great Ride.

Two hundred and fifty senior cadets
Of Victoria. B. c., have recently com.
pleted a l,400-mile ride on bicycles,
bearing dispatches from the state COM
mandant to the minister for defense.
The small riders averaged more than
IA miles an hour, and they completed
their task 8 hours and % minutes
ahead OF schedule. This fine perform
ance reused public interest In the new
system Of cadet trf lining, which has
taken the place of the monotonous
drill-yard eyolutions. Australia Is
training its youngest soldiers In
camaraderie. self-saerIfice, alertness
and love Of athletics. The story Of
the l,400-mile ride against unex.
pected obstacles has set standard
which will not be easily forgotten by
the Australian boy While the dis
patch ride has done much TO direct
attention to happier system OF train
ing, II has also served TO awaken the
interest Of fathers and elder brothers.

GOMPERS ON
SOCIALISM

Those who think the head men
and brains of organized labor have
any use for the doctrines of Bolshe-
vism, Communism or Socialism are
mistaken. In a recent speech Samuel
Gompers had this to say:
Il want to tell you Socialists that
/ have studied your philosophy
read your works upon economics, and
not the meanest of them; studied
your standard works, both English
and German. I have not only read
but studied them. l have heard your
orators and watched the work of your
movements the world over | have
kept close watch upon your doctrines
for thirty years; have closely associ-
ated with many of you and know
how to think and what to propose. |
know, too, what you have up your
sleeve. And 1 want to say that l am
entirely at variance with your philos-
ophy. Il declare 1t to you, I arr not
only at variance with your doctrines,
but with your philosophy. Economi-
cally, you are unsound; socially, sou
are wrong; industrially, you ire IN
impossibility."

Politics AED
BUSINESS

After reading the record of rail-
road management under government
control and the history of our war
time government ship building and
ship operating undertakings, one is
forced to the conclusion that political
management made a dismal failure
of industrial operation.
From administrative. judicial and
executive functions our government
has gradually drifted toward pattern
alistic ideas which require a govern
mental finger in every mans business
AS result we no longer have a
country which can be called free to
individual initiative and enterprise
If anyone doubts this let him try to
start some business on large scale
Summing the whole situation up
what has an overdose of political reg
ulation and restraint accomplished
for the American people?' Business
and politics apparently cannot be
mixed when efficient management in a
business way must be secured. Poll
tics does and must always think first
not of how it will look in a balance
sheet but of how it will look in a
campaign poster.
The time has arrived for plain talk
ing and business in this nation. Our
,,ovarnn,antc hofb efafa and national
should get out of business and stay
out of business instead of competing
with private citizens at their expense.
Governmental activity should be con-
fined to administering. judging and
executing laws based on safe, sound
and broad politics for the protection
and benefit of all its citizens.
On the business side government
has always proved a failure because
business men have been kept out of
government activity simply because
they were successful business men.
Government has failed to a large
extent in regulating and controlling
the business undertakings in which
it has embarked, then why should its
regulation and control over other
private business be enlarged and ex-
tended?
Let us get back to first principles
wherein government is for the ben
eft and protection of its people We
have the finest constitution In the
world. but too many of our law
