PROMISES TO YOURSELF

promise is like bee. cunning little sting; it ries with something sweet but something gives sting
 Have you ever had from someone promise that set you galloping gaiy your way. filled with encourage and determination And then. have you work ed away and waited for it to materiaze and wondering why it did not?
 Perhaps you has tasted the honey: perhaps you have felt the sting.
 Have you ever made promise to someone one that served make that person feel happy in anticipation And then. did you live mp to it, you the means of causing disappointment!
 Perhaps you have passed along the honey, perhaps you have caused the sting?
 Have you made promise to yoursef-told yourself that you going accomplish certain things that would lot you. And then did you forget your promise yourself did you of promise full filled?
 Of the three the promises you make to yourself " with them the greatest responsibilities and the great possibilities for they depend one but yourself and they become just what you want them to be.
 You responsible for the promises that others make vol no than others responsible for the promises you make to them but you and must be true yourself, because promises really assertions of determination. and determination is quality of the victorious.
 So make promises-and mostly to yourself-and rather than let them sting you allow them to gather hon. ey for you along the way

CAPITAL vs. LABOR?

On December list. John H. Davis. for the past four years superintendent of the Bunker Hill Mines company in this district will vacae his post with the local company to accept more prominent position with the Phelps Dodge interests in Bisbee.
 The Bunker Hill Mines company is a branch of the Phelps Dodge
 Four years ago John H. Davis to Tombstone to assume the management of the affairs of the Bunker Hill company He came, perfect stranger to the district in which millions had been expended-and ost in eff fort to garner from Mother Earth the which embedded in the surrounding hills Prior his al the Bunker Hill company had completed what has been recorded test of the feasibility of operating the Tomb stone mining district When this did not result satisfac torly, under the circumstances, the leasing system put into operation and Jack Davis placed in charge.
 Under his supervision the Bunker Hill Mines con- pany has made money. How much how little does not matter The company did not lose. Through the coec- tiOn of fair royalty, the company 1t is said finds itself the credit side of the ledger counting all that has been expended i'll its operation and including the pur chase price At least that is the general belief in this district and in Iectng this only voicing that be- lief.
 When Jack Davis assumed management the Bun ker Hill had just concluded program of operation which 1t Is said, did not result satisfactorily In other words the company did not make money out of its operations The leasing system inaugraed with the result that general belief is to be regarded reliable the Bunker Hill has not been losing money
 This reflects favOrably the management of the Bunker Hill conpany's affairs. Somehow Jack Davis did it. and there nothing mysterious about the he accomplished it.
 The leasing game. it has always been claimed, is hard game Operations has been confined to surface worklnSS with the result that many oI tine ofe-bediiii veins worked out. Development work neces sary for the opening of bodies and here is where the of the Bunker Hill has been accomplished
 A leasor doing development work hunting for ore. in other words is truly buckng hard game Any ad the geology of the ground in which he work ing meant the saving of much time and money. Jack Da wis always there with such advice always coopera ed with the individual easor and always extended help ing hand, in many instances going far to stretch point do In other words he played fair with the leasols, helped them in every way possible.
 
 achievement In helping the leasOr to make money. Jack Davis helped the company to make money.
 To those who of the belief that the interests of capital and labor will be joined together for the mutual benefit of both. refer them the mining his tory of the Tombstone district during the past four years
 Jack Davis has done more than make the Bunker Hill pay He has demonstrated point that should go long way in teaching capital and labor where their inter ests really lie.
 While his promotion is received here with much gra- tfcaon Tombstone hates to him go.

EXIT APPEAL TO REASON.

From Girard. Kan. comes the news that the Appeal to Reason which during the past twenty years has chanpioned Socialism with all the militant ferOr of Billy Sunday revival ceased publication with the issue of Nov. 9th
 Evidently difficult make converts to doc trnaire reform than used to be- Perhaps of tine comrades having watched the experiments with Marxan formuae in Russia beginning to have their doubts
 More than likely however. the support that went to the Appeal to Reason throughout the Middle West is withdrawn because has found issues hand When the Appeal suspended there more rad ical candidates in the northern half of the Mississippi valley than it would have been possible to locate through the whole United States when the paper founded when Eugene Debs its editor.

Brookhard from Iowa. and Frazier from North Dakota fighting join La Toilette. Norris. Iadd and Borah already at Washington There political distinctions among these gentlemen. Borah is less radical than La Toilette Ladd voted for the tariff But for ali practical purposes the Middle Western Socialists the Left Wing of the Republican Party.

BABYIZING AMERICA.

year old baby may be large and healthy and vigor ous and strong and if afforded proper protection may grow into mighty man of prowess.
 But remove its protector during its of helpless ness and 1t becomes an easy prey to any aggressor
 It is with this country.
 Numerically, commercially and financially strong, and healthy, with progressive and successful future ahead of us.
 Bu like the baby of tender years. only safe so long have protector capable of repclng az gressve forces which greed and avarice may bring against
 That protector is the navy of the United States
 If congress persts in reducing the navy of mpotency viii be helpless against sudden foreign ii vasion And that, apparently, Is what majority of senators and congressman are intent upon doing
 If financial retrenchment is necessary We suggest that horde of political bnaces be pried loose from the public payroll
 But keep the navy in condition where it can afford the necessary protection until army be formed
 If compelled to depend upon congressional oratory to defend against foreign invasion will be in sad state indeed regardless of the volume of noise that gang can produce.
 Babyizing America is the last step in congressional ncompetency.

UNCLE SAM TO
 CUT BIG MONEY
 MELON JAN. fST

The largest money melon ever sliced open and handed around in this section will be cut by the United States government January l. 1923, for owners of 1918 war savings stamps. This is less than two months off. The announcement was made yesterday by Postmaster w. A. Fow- Ter.
 War savings stamps of the 1918 series. bought in 1918 for s4 and few cents. mature for payment at s each January 1, and each stamp will then have netted every owner not less than 75 cents, or per cent. compounded quarterly.
 Persons will be allowed to exchange their war savings stamps of the 1918 series for treasury savings certifi- cates. registered against loss or de- preciation in any way. which yield about 2195 per cent interest in five years, or they will be allowed to cash them in for s apiece.
 Owing to the popularity of treasury savings certificates, it is expected a great many 1918 stamp owners will exchange their matured stamps for treasury savings certificates after January 1st.

AMPL1F1ERs FOR CONGRESS.

Electricians have been installing amplifiers in the House of Representatives at Washington Numerous large horns being placed in the ceiling connected with an amplfier device in the basement, to magnify the voices and enable the weakest of them to te heard in any part of the chamber The arrangement i said to be intended especially to make the lawmakers speeches heard in the press gallery.
 That is all very we'll What any congressman says ought to be heard especially by the press But ber of that profession naturally feels like speaking friendly word to the lawmakers themselves in this nection What they may is great deal more import ant than how loudly they say it. and with their ap paratus working order lack of substance or style will be all the more apparent.
 Oratory on Capitol Hill has not been particularly notable for quality in recent years Let the Congress men do their best to live up to those amplifiers.

TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW.

What does the future hold in store for nation?
 Within the next twenty years unless there is radi cal change for the better in the relations of labor to cap al will be torn by internal dissensions, if not pros rated by open civil Present conditions not dure forever.
 If the smouldering discontent prevalent breaks into revolution 1t will leave nation of crpples from self-inflicted wounds.
 That will be the psychological moment for foreign nation with grudge to launch invasion against with every hope of definite results.
 The animosity between labor and capital must be moved in fair and just manner for the permanent good of both sides and of the millions of people in between
 It is profitable to provide for the future than to bemoan the past.
