KEEP FAITH WITH MINERS

The Pullman act was passed in the main to enable Great Britain to meet her oriental exchange obligations.
 The only place she could get the silver was in the United States and then the only way to get the amounts required in short order was by melt ing American silver dollars in our treasury.
 The Pittman act authorized the melting of 350,000,O00 silver dollars to-be sold at $1.Oo an ounce. The money thus received from Great Britain for this silver was later Io be paid out by our treasury in re- placing it's silver hoard from Ameri- can miners at $100 an ounce-the amount received from Great Britain.
 American miners agreed to this arrangements knowing that the mat ket price of silver would go much higher which it did, reaching the peak of $1.37 an ounce, New York quota tion, Nov 25, 1919
 The agitation to repeal the Pitt man act is on ground it is draining the treasury at this time to pay Ameri- can silver producers more than the present market price for silver.
 The government is simply carry ing out it's agreement with England and American miners and is replac- ing it's silver with the money paid by England. at no cost to taxpayers.
 To repeal the Pittman act would be to deny American miners the market price during the war ard now force them to take the market price and lose great sums of money, to the profit of Great Britain and our own government.

NEW LAW ON ANNUAL ASSESS MENT WORK ON MINING CLAIMS

Much discussion has been going around the mining camps with regard to the interpretation of the new fed eral law regarding the time in which the annual labor work must be done on mining claims. -
 The matter was brought to the at tention of w. J. Galbraith, Attorney, General, and in the discussion he called attention to the law, which iii substance and effect reads as follows:
 The period within which the work required to be done annually on all unpatented mineral claims located since May. 10, 1872, shall commence at .12 o'clock noon on the first day of July after the date of location of such claim, provided that on all such valid existing claims the annual peri cd ending December 31, 1921, shall continue to 12 o'clock noon, July, i, 1922"
 MT. Galbraith said that in his opin- ion this law should be interpreted iii the following maner:
 That on all claims where. under the old law, the annual work should have been done on or before December 31, 1921, the owner of the claim shall have up to noon, July l, 1922, in which to do his work. In other words, all claims located in 1920, Or before, the claimants have until July l. 1922, in which to do their annual work. All claims located on and after January 1, and before noon, July 1. 1921, the claimants have until noon, July l, 1922, in which to do their work All claims located or and after noon, July l, 1921, the

SOME ANCIENT CORN

Corn that grew in Tennessee in the long ago, possibly in the days of Moses, has been dug up in rude pot tery vessels by w. E. Meyer, a gov ernment agricillturist
 The life germs in that corn have slept for thousands of years. But plant them and they will grow.
 How do you explain this long sleep and the resurrection of the life germ It cannot be seen under the micro scope. The lens reveals a cell, but not the life itself.
 Life has no dimensions, no weight It proves the existence of the spiri- tual
 This prehistoric corn, found in Ten nesse, is of a type now found only in the West Indies. How do you eX- plain that?
 How did it make the trip? Did a bird or tornado transport it? Or was prehistoric man a navigator.
 In fact, there are lots of things about this old earth that you cannot explain The find of this ancient corn in Tennesse is one of them.

FEATHER OF ARIZONA" MAY REST
 AT SUMMIT OF PosToN's BUTTE

In ali probability the wish of Col1- nel Charles D. Poston, Father Of Arizona" that he be buried on the summit of Poston Butte, near Flor ence, will be carried out some 20 years after his death.
 Colonel James H. McClintock, state historian, has received letter from the pioneers grandson, Gustavus D. Pope, Detroit lawyer. who wishes to remove his grandfather's remains from the old city cemetery in Phoe- nix to either the Hole in the Rock or Poston's Butte.
 .:- It is believed that the burial will be on the butte across the river from FTorenca where the colonel Built 2 wagon. road and raised the American flag. It was his dream to erect q tample where the Diety should he worshipped with soIemnity at the rising of the sun.
 The pioneer. who was active in work leading to the organization Of the territory in 1863, died in 1902 on the floor of an adobe hut in which he lived alone He was buried at the expense of few friends-all pion- eers who shared the hardships and experiences of colonel Poston during the early days.
 Colonel Poston held many important positions here, was Indian commis- sioner, delegate to congress, register of the Arizona land office at Flor ence, and agent of the agricultural bureau at Phoenix. Between times he made frequent trips east and held high position with the government which commissioned him to visit Asia and study it's irrigation system. Europe in Summertime" one ol many interesting books of which he was the author, was the result. "Apa- che Land" was another of bis efforts, while he wrote entertaingly and well a series of articles on ancient races in which he was deeply interested.

,FocH's BEST GIFT

Ferdinand Foch, marshal of France and commander-in-chie of the allied armies in the world war, sailed for home the other day laden with gifts of every kind from the american peo- pie during his triumphal tour of the country.
 But his most precious gift, and the one that he guarded most carefully, was a little geranium, growing in cheap earthen pot. It was given him by mother in Indiana, who asked that it be planted on the grave of her son who fell at Soissons. Marshal Foch assured her that this will be done, after he has taken branch of it to be planted in the yard of his home.
 A simple little thing, but it shows the big heart of a very big man. No wonder the people Of the earth unite in honoring Marshal Foch, first sol riier of the world

 Second legislator: Well, I never heard him say-but from the best 1 can dope it out he considers it neces- sary to enable the people to look for ward to some kind of a change.

Senator Newberry's henchmen in are now receiving their rewards iii the way of appointments to prom nent Federal positions, according to 8 statement made recently in the Se- nate by Senator King Dem, Utahl, who said: ..-.:

The letter says: Is this q reward for dis tributing money to gain a nomination for office?'
 Myers name will soon be sent to the Senate for confirmation.
 Another letter which I have states
 T understand that five major Fed eral appointments have been made Tn Michigan under the present admins tration, and with one exception, i G., the collector of internal revenue at Detroit all of such appointments have been from the Newberry organ ization. and by that mean men wsl , were indicted with Newberry by a grand jury composed of 16 Republi- cans and ' Democrats. Such appoiu tees are as follows:

 This man has made his living by building houses for the people in the town in which he lives. He will make his living that way in the future. But he will never build a house for the mail order man.

and a very practical proof thereof,
looks upon America as friend and
example.
I'VE are great, and rich. and pow
erful as to states ana sections: we
are in the full concord of union. This
great organic law has preserved and
its antiquities removed. Where there
has been enlarged federal authority,
the states have wished it so. The
constitution has been amended to
meet the popular will. Our repre-
sentative form of constitutional gov
eminent is responsive to the will Of
the Majority, responsive to the ex-
preston of deliberate public opinion.
It must be so to endure. Majorities,
restrained to the protection of minor
tiles. ever must rule. The constitll-
ton and the laws sponsored by the
majority must be enforced. It does
not matter who opposes. IF AN OPP
posing minority has a Just objection
the rising tide of public opinion will
change the law. There is no abiding
liberty under any other plan.
II mean to sound no new note Ct
pessimism. This republic is secure.
Menaces do/arise. but publi3 opinion
will efface them. Meanwhile govern
ment must repress them. The
eighteenth amendment denies to a
minority a fancied sense of personal
liberty but the amendment is the
will of America, and must be sus-
tanned by the government and public
opinion. else contempt for the law
will undermine our very founda-
tons.
The foremost thought in the con-
stitution is the fight to freedom and
the pursuit of happiness. Men must
be free to live and achieve. Liberty
is gone in America when any man is
denied anybody the right to work
and live by that work. 1t does not
matter who denies.
"A free American has the right to
labor without any others leave. 1t
would be no less an abridgement to
deny men to bargain collectively.
Governments cannot tolerate any
class or grouped domination through
force. 1t will be a sorry day when
group domination is reflected in our
laws. Government and the laws
which government is charged with
enforcing must be for all the people,
ever aiming at the common good.
THE tendencies of the present day
are not surprising. War stirred the
passions of men. and left the world
il upheayal. There have been read

Referring briefly to international re-
lat.ons of the United States, Mr.. Hard
ing said that 'all is we'll"
They are securer today with more
reassuring prospects of peace than
ever before in the history of the re-
public. New guarantees have recently
been added, by the very process of ex-
changing viewpoints and bringing the
Spokesman of great nations to the con-
ference table and for the exchange Of
views, and to resolve to do together
those fine and nobler things which no
ore nation could do alone"
At the outset of his address the
president told his fellow townsmen it
was Exceedingly cd to come home
and meet with you again"
The president said in part:
LET me turn ny thoughts to the
natal day of the nation. One hum
dred and forty six years have passed
since the prophetic beginning and it
will be a patriotic thing to stop for
let 'ospection and introspection and
circumspection, to take stock about
our keeping of the legacy benuea . \
by the founding fathers.
"In our international relations all
is we'll. They are securer today with
more assuring pr octs of peace than
ever before in the history of the re-
public. New guarantees have recent

OF exchanging viewpoints, and bring
ing the spokesmo of great nations
to the conference table, and for the
exchange of views and to resolve to
do together those fine and nobler
things which no one nation could do
alone.
Frankly. we have a broader view
point than the founding fathers: we
must have. because human progress
has altered our world relationship.
but we have held firmly to all the
fundamentals to which they commit
ted lis. We cannot be aloof from the
world, but We can impress the world
with American ideals. I mean to
say it. because it is seemly to say it.
the world believes today in American
national unselfishness as never be-
fore and recognizes our commitment
to justice to be no less rcsolute than
our determination to preserve our
liberties. even Russia, toward whom
we remain aioof, except in sympathy
