demonstrated in not only saving the

Edward Hickey was always a pro-
Igressive in matters industrial. In
matters political he dabbled not at
all. He was president of banks in
Butte and Seattle and of mining
and oil companies and gave much
to charity. General regret is ex-
pressed at his passing. Although
he was of retiring disposition, he
was personally known to many and
greatly respected by all who knew
him. Mr.. Hickey was the son of
Thomas and Kathleen (Curran)
Hickey and was born in St. Law
renee county, New York, October

he came to Butte and it continued

Located the Anaconda
Hickey was associated with his
brother Michael in locating the
Anaconda mine. The name was
taken from an expression used by
General Grant in describing the
manner in which he had the con-

were in the folds of an anaconda"

FUNDAMENTAL BUSINESS FACTS

(Chas. II. Sabin, president Guaran-
| ty Trust Co. New York;
There is so much in the present sit
uation to inspire confidence and hope
for the future that it is little short of
criminal for anyone to paint the pic
ture so blackly, through either ignor-
ance or intent, that these vital facts
are obscured. To cite a few pertin-
ent facts: This country will harvest
this year one of the largest crops in
its history; its transportation conges-
tion has been relieved and it's railroad
system is for the first time in
decade on a sound financial and Op-
Grating basis; we have passed through
a national election and assured four
years of sane administration of pub
lie affairs; our banking system has
withstood the greatest credit strain
in its history and is on a sound and
workable basis; the accumulated sur
plus of five years of splendid prosper
ity is stored in many ways for our
continued use; the markets of the
world demand our products and
great mercantile marine is prepared
to transport them; this country has
rot been overbuilt or overextended in
any of its underlying activities, and
faces no program of readjustments
along these lines such as usually pre-
cipitates panic conditions. We are in
a sounder financial, Industrial and po-
ltical condition than any important
nation in the world.
These are the simple fundamental
facts of our business situation. and to
consider the present reaction as any
thing but a temporary setback from
the destruction initiation, eXtrava-
gance and unsound economic cOndi-
tions precipitated by the war is sim
ply not to reckon with the truth. 1t
remains true today, as it has since
this country was first settled that

of America short is in the long run
certain to lose" and. furthermore, any
man who seeks to profit by the mis-
fortune of others in the circulation of /
or false rumors, hop /
ing to precipitate further reactions, /
should be branded as a public enemy.
This is a time for clear thinking and
courageous acting and in the proper

BoRAH RESOLUTION.

(Boise statesman
The Borah proposal that Great Brit
am. Japan and the United States sign
a tripartite agreement to reduce naval
ornaments has one advantage over
the general disarmament plan sketch
ed in the league of nations covenant;
it Il more specific. It singles out
three great countries. the naval lead
ers, and suggests that they start
something.
The league of nations, it will be re-
membered, merely recognizes that the
maintenance of peace requires the re-
duction of national ornaments ito the
lowest point consistent with national
safety and the enforcement by com
mon action of international obliga-
TONS" which sounds all right but
suggests no method of approach to
the actual task of disarmament The
Borah scheme at least suggests where
and how to begin.
But the Borah plan is in danger Of
being wrecked upon the rocks of dis
agreement just as the league plan has
already been pounded to pieces by
those who declare the time for dis
armament has not yet arrived. News
paper comment suggests this.
But even in failure it is probable
that Senator Borah has done a good
deed. because his proposition will
form the basis for discussion that
must clarity the relations of the
United States and Japan on the one
side and the United States and Great
Britain on the other; and it will also
serve to give notice to the world that
the United States is seeking peace and
is ready to cooperate with other now
ers under any reasonable plan that
may bring disarmament
