her own data the American figures
as TO the difference between the
money involved in two possible
plans. The first calls for suspension
OF conditional and unconditional
payments alike. the second allows
only for a moratorium Of the condi-

AS one Of the biggest sufferers in
the war, France became among the
largest beneficiaries through recon-
~Struction payments. which are class
ed as unconditional. The loss Of
these. it was reported, would be
felt keenly.
President Hoover. however. in his
announcement OF the plan included
"all payments on intergovernmental
debts owing the important creditor

conditional and unconditional obli-

COMMITTING more than the usual interest
y will apparently be taken III the ANIMAL LlbDy
school election to be held next Saturday after
noon, April 4. Two directors are to be chosen
each for three year term. Everyone who wishes
to have Libby's excellent school system contln-
ned should take enough interest to go to the
polls and east ballot for the two men who they
consider will best fill the position with ability
and integrity.
Politics should not be allowed to enter into
this matter. There may be lively squabbles III
other elections and the people seem to enjoy
them There may be honest differences OF opm-
ion in political matters and everyone has per-
feet right to fight out those differences at the
polls. But when it comes to choosing the Off
cials who are to have charge of our schools and
who direct them and manage them-wlth the
assistance of the teaching staff-there Is where
politics should be discarded and nothing consld-
cred except the welfare of the boys and girls OF
the district.
The Libby school has enjoyed good man
agement in the past. Under that direction the
school has been built up until it IS one OF the best
in the state The school is fully accredited and
Libby high school graduates have free access
to any of the colleges and universities Of the
country It's graduates possess high standard
Of scholarship.
Go to the polls next Saturday afternoon and
cast your ballot for the two men who yon con-
slider are best fitted for the position, the two
men who are more apt to have the best interests
of Libby and the Libby schools at heart.

who is freezing to death. Fortunately aid
reached the young sufferers Ill time TO save the
lives of most of them, and the 13-year-old boy
awoke in warm farmhouse and told what he
and others had done. Five of his companions
were dead; the others will live The bus driver
left the stranded bus III an endeavor to get help

We expect every man to measure UP to
the high standard Of heroism whenever the oc-
casiou demands it. Most men exhibit the full
stature of manhood when the supreme test
comes. Some of course fail and are classed with
the towards. But we do not expect and we do
not demand that little children shall measure
Up to that same high standard. When we see
them, in their natural unselfishness, make the
supreme sacrifice that young or less robust
companion may be saved, we are forced to stand
III awe before such a glorious spectacle One OF
the doctors attending the little sufferers said
that unquestionaby every one OF the five died
a hero
Mankind must, after all, be very much all
right when even its children SO readily become
heroes.

a FINE AMERICAN PASSES.

A BOUT 1890 p. III Tuesday word reached
} Libby by radio that Knute Rockne the great
Notre Dame football coach had been killed III
an airplane accident III the East He and five
companions and two mechanics lost their lives
when plane crashed
The news was received by the nation with
pang Of regret, and by hundreds with great
feeling Of sorrow. Rockne had become nation
ally famous by developing for number Of years
at Notre Dame football teams Of championship
calibre lie probably stood ont as the greatest
football coach Of his day: at least no one will
deny that he was one Of the very greatest. He
stood for all that was fine and admirable III col
lege sport and athletics and was a stalwart
fighter for high standards Of craftsmanship.
Ills sudden taking away will be tragedy to
Notre Dame and the hundreds Of young men
whose lives he has influenced in his capacity
as their coach. His loss will be regretted by
thousands who love clean craftsmanship.

ALL HONOR TO THE YOUNG HEROES

n OCCASIONALLY one becomes discouraged
- and the iron of cynicsm enters one = heart
when one watches mankind and sees how sense
less and silly and ugly and selfish and vulgar and
vile 50 many lives are. The urge towards dis
gust with mankind in general becomes strong
and one is on the verge Of becoming nissan
thrope. Then suddenly one reads or witnesses
some outstanding act Of heroism or unselfish-
ness and all that disgust Of mankind fades away
as chilling fog disappears before the bright
and warm sunshine.
Last week five little children, still in their
teens, rose to the very heights Of heroism and
unselfislness and died that their companions
might live. One 13year-old boy took off all his
clothes except his underwear and gave his dis
carded clothing to younger companions that they
might not freeze to DEATH when number O.

INTRINSIC VALUES.
Mining Congress Journall

OLIVER as a commodity never did have any
> large value. The same thing may be said Of
gold The public mind is accustomed to think of
gold having intrinsic value This is al unnlis-
taxable fallacy. They value of gold depends
upon its acceptance BY governments and BY
common public consent. The value Of
silver for many years rested upon
the same basis. AT time when the business
transactions Of the world were but fraction-o OF
present day operations, at a time when Great
Britain was the creditor nation Of the world,
at time when in public affairs might made
right, at a time when civilization was emery
ING from the feuda system under which few
people owned most of the property and where
the great majority OF people were either tenants
or Debtors the establishment OF the single gold
standard was made to serve accumulated wealth
BY making the debtor perform more OF labor or
produce more of goods with which to pay his
obligation.
This control OF the many by the few was
based upon commercial domination and rehg
ious dictation The Puritan established in the
new world theory OF government based upon
the supremacy OF man. his right to develop re-
ligiously and industrally along independent
lines, his success being based upon his ability
to initiate to determine and to perform. Had 1T
not been for this newer thought in world de-
yelopment the condition Of baron and tenant
would still prevail throughout the world Upon
these principles were founded an industrial de-
velopment SO powerful that it was able not only
to pay off the Indebtedness to Great Britain
but, through development of its mineral re-
sources, its production of gold and silver, its
ability and efficiency, being able to under sell
III foreign markets and at the same time pay
higher wages, brought into the worlds vision

With its changing flame to light my way
As the warm west wind slips by.
When go out on the last long trail,
Grant me the sight of distant hills
And glimpse of the trail ahead
Through the asles of stately, towering pines
With their locking branches spread.
Grant me one lasting memory
Of quiet lake at dawn,
With hidden inlet. deep and dark.
Where the flashing fishes spawn.
And give me beyond the massive gates
Not Jewels of gold or jade,
But lakes to fish and road to tramp
And little wooded gladso
