THE MINER" ABROAD

I. N. Estes, son of Mrs. Leora Roycroft of Moose Pass, moved to the States some years aro and s now living at Deer Greek, Mi me sota. Mrs. Roycroft sends her son the MINER and he took a copy to the editor of the Deer Creek paper, THE DEER CREEK MIRROR. Then the editor devoted the first column on the front page and turnover to the MOOSE PASS MINER.
 When Mrs. Roycroft gave us that copy of the Minne sota paper and we saw Yourselves" in print we had a sinking spell and said to ourselves, There's where we catch it But fortunately for us all newspaper peo- ple love each other even if no one else loves em, so this editor let us down easy. He quoted column of our items and ended by saying "Besides these items there are many others telling of mining operati ons, hunt ing, the doings of Moose Pass people, etc., that go to make up very fine lit tie newspaper. All in all it was found tc be very interest," ing by the Mirror publi sh- CT and he vi shes to thank MT. Estes for bringing it to the office."
 Breaking precedent s seems to be Pre- si- dent Rooeevelt's favorite indoor sport. It is too silly for words to express that he would lend himself to upsetting Thanks giving tradition. Abraham Lincoln in 1864 Issued the first presidential procla- nation fixing Thank sgiving as nat1 1ona1 holiday, on the fourth or last Thursday in November. Why quibb1e over the "or?" Changing Thank vin- from the last Thurs day in November has upset football sched- ules all over the nation and deprived tur- key raise of an extra week to fatten their birds.
 The stated reason for changing the date that the Both is too close to Chri stnas is absurd. Here is hoping the "exigencies of war" will divert his precedent breaking activities from proclaiming q new date for Chri stmas because it is so close to New Year. Day, and Good Friday because 1t falls so close to Easter.
 War hes it uses. It got the Duke and Duchess of Windsor back into England with no back talk from Father Chamberlain. The duke is to head his old regiment, the Gren adler Guards. He is also on the active list as colonel -in-chief of the Welsh Guards. The Duke and Duchess are living at Col eman' Hatch in Sussex.

Lead and Zinc Expected
To Hold High Levels
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch 10 Inc 0Lar.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Consump-
ton of the non-ferrous metals. lead
and zinc, has shown very pro-
nounced advances in recent months
and gives promise of remaining at
high levels for some time to come,
according to the Financial World.
Lead shipments set new post
depression peak in October and
probably rose still further in Novem-
Der, while deliveries of zinc in each
of the last three months have been
the largest since these figures were
first compiled in 1920, the magazine
points out in it's forthcoming De-
cember q issue.
Since production has not been
increased correspondingly,' contin-
ues the publication, stocks have
been sharply reduced and now
amount to less than full months
requirements. There is a possibility
that the reduction in the tariff on
zinc last year may find further re-
Election in higher imports should
demand outside the United States
undergo any slackening, but to date
imports have not been a serious
problem.
1T is merely necessary to enumer-
ate the principal outlets for these
two metals to demonstrate the fact
that their consumption prospects are
excellent" concludes the article.
Lead finds its largest use in storage
batteries, with paint ranking second
and cable covering still holding third
place. The metal is also used ex-
tensively in the building industry
and in the making Of ammunition.
The principal uses Of zinc are IN
galvanizing and brass making. All
these customers are expected to
maintain their requirements at high
levels"

MOTION PICTURES IN
CRIMINAL PROSECUTION

De Witt Clinton Cook 20, was con-
victed Of first degree murder in the bru-
tai Staying at Los Angeles Of Anya $685.
yeva, former Follies dancer. after a
short trial and brief deliberation on the
part of the jury because Investigators
had the forethought To make a talking
motion picture of Cooks confession and
re-enactment of the crime.
The state saved considerable money
that otherwise would have been spent in
a lengthy trial. The possibility that an
eloquent attorney might have made the
jury believe the confession was bludgeon-
ed out of the suspect was done away with,
and with it the possibility of an acquit-
tai that would have been an abortion of
justice.
Criminal prosecution came into its
own in that Los Angeles courtroom when
modern methods were used to show a
jury what happened Of all the institu-
tions in this country, the procedure fol-
lowed by attorneys is most in need of
modernization. Perhaps the use of mo-
tion pictures, unprecedented and accur-
ate is step toward that goal.
Many cold-blooded killer has been
turned loose because his attorney was
able to convince the jury he had been
framed into confession Many an
other has been freed because lawyer
for the defense has been more eloquent
than the attorney for the prosecution.
II is not often that peace officers take
a man into court unless they believe he
is guilty of the crime they have charged
against him. 1t is still less often that
an innocent man goes to trial after an
arraignment, preliminary hearing and
all the other safeguards the law sets up
to prevent trial of a man unless there is
sufficient reason to believe he might be
guilty.
By the same token, it is not often that
peace officers engage in brutal or under
handed investigation of crime. De-
fense attorneys, however, seldom fail
when they have nothing else to argue
about to picture investigators as unhu-
man brutes bent on getting conviction
regardless of guilt or innocence
All the odds rest with a suspected
criminal when he goes to trial. The odds
are often increased by the limited knowl-
edge laymen on the jury have of inves-
tigation methods. When such methods
are shown as they were practiced with
out opportunity for distortion by clever
attorney, the scales of justice will be
more nearly equal.
With crime suppression becoming more
and more a profession it is high time
professional methods were taken into
the court room, professional methods
employed by witnesses as we'll as attor-
neyS.

Different FINLAND

Whatever happens to tiny Finland in
her negotiations with Russia, she will
have the unanimous sympathy of Ameri-
can citizens as no other European nation
could have. This is SO for several rea-
sons.
Finland is the only European nation
that thought enough of World War agree
ments 10 keep them She paid all she
could of her war debt to the United
States.
Another reason, however. goes deeper
into democratic souls. Finland is the
first European nation to be menaced by
a larger power which has not, herself, at
some time in the recent past menaced a
nation still smaller than herself. Czecho-
slovakia's record was not clean in this
respect. Poland little more than year
ago was threatening war against Ruma-
MIA if her demands were not met.

COTTON GROWERS PAY
MORE THAN DOLE
(Tulare Advance Register)

In majority report, seven-man
committee appointed by Governor Olson
has recommended that cotton picking
wages be only the equivalent of the pre-
vailing SRA relief scale.
Cotton growers records prove that the
average picker is making from so to 100
percent more money than the SRA maxi
mum, which shows that on the existing
80 cent base rate the farmer is doing
more than is required.
With this information at hand it would
be a fine thing for the taxpayers of
California if the State Administration
would order all able-bodied persons off
the SRA dole and send them into the
fields while there is need for labor and
let them help the farmer who helps sup
port them during large part of the year
Even in the event of a dispute as to
the amount of money to be paid for pick
ing the reliefers should pick cotton just
the same with the SRA guaranteeing to
make up any possible deficit in the liv-
ing wage.
If the State SRA would adopt this
policy, 90 per cent of its relief load on
the dole basis would vanish overnight.
Why not try it for a month or two while
ample work for all is available?
