AN INO :.P NDENT
PAPER
INDEPENDENCE DAY.
The fourth is the holiday of
holidays. It is a day of shout
cr.d play of the poll mell rush
o.' restless energy, a day dedi
cate! ‘ o ;oy and celebration.
It i well We have a right to
mat marry on ndependence
day. W_ have a right to cheer
and to bombard the clouds
w th bomb and rocket, if we
r.f> de i:e. For it is the birth
of ° g:eat nation we acclaim,
its lengthening honorable life
end the rosy prospect for its
future. It is not a day for so
berne s, though it will be well
indeed, if we bear in mind why
it is we shout and what it is
we herald. It is fitting, too,
that we keep in thought the
honor that is due the brave
whore blood and courage
made possible this day of
days, this national natal day.
Independence day gave us lib
erty, a chance to live our nat
ional life in our own way,
freed from the dictates of
any distant power. It gave us
a charter of individual man
hood. The founding fathers
might have set up a govern
ment that was administered
from the top down. They chose
to eatallteh a government that
was admininstered from the
bottom up. They chose to
agree that every man should
have a voice, and that one
man’s voice should be equal
with that of every other. In
dependence day also gave us
opportunity, opportunity to
live our individual lives as we
would live them, opportunity
to enter any field of endeavor,
opportunity to develop, to
grow better as well as sti*ong
er, and-above all-opportunity
to serve, cheerfully and will
ingly. our fellowmen in the
up building of a great democ
racy.
Th? priceless heritage of our
freedom is still inviolate. Our
people have met every chal-.
lenge from without and have 1
re^ea’edjy demonstrated their
capacity to withstand every
Insidious assault from within, i
; So rrroat has been our security,
' so conscious pur realization of
! power that the only apparent
j menace on the horizon of to
day is that we may rest too eas
ly, remain too much self-as
sured in the face of those in
. fluences which would honey
I omb our institutions. Even as
we celebrate our liberty, our
ndividual responsibility and
: our opportunity, we must re
member that vigilance is the
price of their security.
LOCALITY AND FAME
The conviction of Edward
3ok that a man cannot be bur
ied in any locality, large or;
"'.mall, if he have the elements
of greatness and achievement
n him, should be of encour-1
igement to those who feel that
their talents are wasted be
cause of an unappreciat
j otive or depressing environ-1
I ment. “Cream will rise to the I
surface anywhere,” asserts j
Bok, and an observation of the
early life of successful men !
goes to confirm his statement.
Vbraham Lincoln in his boy- j
lood split rails for a scanty
’iving, and Daniel Webster
was brought up in a New
Hampshire log cabin where|
hard work was the rule and
money was seldom seen.
Riches have proved a more
formidable handicap to suc
cess than poverty. Opposition
has been and still is the ma
terial upon which character
feeds for its development and
growth. No Gopher Prairie is
trong enough to down a man
"f he has the will power to :
.'orge ahead. i
The country boy has, if any
hing, the advantage of the 11
city boy, because he has quiet
and distance to give him a
sane point of view. But the i
man who will succeed, will
succeed anywhere. He has the
choice of being engulfed by
his circumstances or of tri- ]
umphing over them.
“RENEWING” MINING
For years the great East Hel
ena smelter was operated un
der the current milling pract
ice of penalizing zinc ores as a
metallic menace rather than an
isset. The metallurgical world
eonsidered that zinc was a
pest and teh zinc ores were
frowned upon.
Now, the improved process
es, and the market demand
for zinc, make the old slag
dumps valuable. It is estimat
ed that the East Helena smelt
er has 2,000,000 to 3,000,000
;ons-of zinc slag on its dump,
:hat can be reworked with a
profit. v v
The old Congress mine in
Arizona is said to have $8,
300,000 worth of low-grade
ere on its dumps, which once
eost fortunes to throw away as
waste, but that now can be
concentrated at a profit.
Mining is an enduring indust
rial enterprise. It is the farm
er’s good friend because of the
markets it makes for his pro
duce.
From Idaho to NewT Mexico,
mining has been the basis of
prosperity for every mountain
state. It has been the great
employing and taxpaying in
dustry and it deserves intelli
gent consideration at the
hands of the public. —Wallace
Press Times Mining Review.

There may be some dissatis

The Blueberry Kid thinks

The worst thing about pick

that you don’t see what you
are getting, snaps Frank
Reichenback, but that you
don’t get what you are seeing.
Clyde Hager declares that
while girls hate to have things
kept from them, they don’t
mind being in the dark.
No man ever ran away from
a “dangerous” woman; the
girl he runs away from is the
one that his mother picks out
for him as “perfectly safe.”
Man must be close to God.
No other creature has the

GLAD
TO HAVE
Your Business
ANY BUSINESS THAT tries to get along without a bank
is a very small business, even then it is not too small but
that its financial affairs should be handled through a bank.
A BANK IS one of the most important factors in the bud*

TRANSACT YOUR business through our bank, no mattes
how small it is now—the bank may help make it larger.
