THE WAY TOWARD WORLD
PEACE
(From Mining Truth)
The surest method to avert a
world crisis is the stabalization
of silver and other metals at a
fixed parity with gold. India
and China have the silver stan
dard, and never will have any
other. Stabilization of silver
at $1.32 an ounce would raise
the purchasing power of one
billion people by 120'; , pro
vide new markets for the man
ufactures of America and Eu
rope, and avert the catastrophe
which will ever loom when
one-third of the world denies
economic justice to the other
two-thirds.
Latin America’s purchasing
power would likewise be raised
and the debased coinage of Eu
rope could be restored to a bas
is that would not compel every
government to be its own coun
teifeiter.
Stabaiization of metal prices
throughout the world would
end the present necessity for a
protective tariff, and the need
for immigration restrictions in
North America. Sooner or lat
er all tariffs will be abolished.
If far-seeing economists have
their way the disappearance of
tariffs will accompany the es
tablishment of international
peace. If jingoes and shylocks
have their way it will be ush
ered in by a universal orgy of
blood that will make the late
World War seem like a Y. M.
C. A. boxing-match.
Millions on earth today may
live to see international parity
introduced by one method or
the other.

SPENDERS
Exceptions prove the rule
that people like to spend mon
ey. So early in life does the
desire assert itself that it is
thought by some to be instinct
ive. There is less odium at
tached to the name “spend
thrift” than to its opposite,
“miser,” which might be cited !
I as evidence of the universality
of the buying habit.
This tendency among the
masses to cpon.l a.,J buy 's
j recognized by those who ha a
something to sell. Before so: •.*
may spend there must be oth
ers with something to sell a J ’
! the times when the demand ha
exceeded tiro supply have beer,
infrequent and of brief durat
ion. There are many degrees
. of buying and spending. S.,mc
buy for the love of “shopping”
ancl others because they need
the things they purchase.
Thera are the heavy spenders
as well as the thrifty spenders.
Every member of civilized so
ciety must spend or buy in
greater or lass degree.
But there are only two typcj
of sellers. There is that type
which strives to give the buyei
his “money’s worth,” and there
is the second type which sees!
‘ in the spending propensity an
opportunity to gat the other
fellow’s money for nothing. I
is indeed unfortunate that the
•public does not do all its spend
ing with those who give them
a “square-deal” i'or their dol
| !ars. If it did there would be '
no need for laws against using '
the mails to defraud, wild-cat
stocks, bogus promotions and
confidence men.
WOMEN IN NEW FIELDS
Woman, being sister to man,!
may be open to criticism for
many things, but those persons
Jo her injustice who would dis
:ount her efforts to attain pro
ficiency in certain fields that
have hitherto been preempted i
by her brother on the score of I
“cheapening” imitation.
Before women’s so-called
“emancipation” many activi-!
ties were limited to the male ;
ifex, not because it was pecul
iai Iv and specially equipped
for them, but because man
made custom so decreed. Now
that the barriers are lifting,
women should be free to enter
any fields that appeal to them.
The fact that such fields have
hitherto been special preserves,
of man is immaterial. If wortf
en can enter them and win out,
she will have earned her posit
ion—and in such case it would
not lie in the mouth of any
man lo criticize her.
WomiJh and man are subject,
to different limitations; but
many lines of activity invite
competition, and it is perrnisa
able fer woman to “imitate”
man in following them. Wom
an’s entrance in a number oi
fields has been delayed by re
strictions imposed by man, and
the fact that the latter was in
first does not give him the
right to exclusive possession,
now that the barriers have
been removed.
-o
It stiil remains true that the
■way of the transgressor is hard.
You never hear a man yelling
for liberty if the paying telle;
stands in awe of him.
Another definition for Amer
ican'. m: Paying cash for the
atre tickets, jewelry and othei
luxuries; making the grocei
end butcher wait.
An Outside newspaper an
nounced the other day that
“The bride’s going-away out!'!
was an old rose, with a hat tc
match. We arc not old-fash
ioned, but darned if we car.
think that outfit was respect
able !
“Girls that puzzle you arc
more intciestir.g than others,’
says a popular writer. Wc
wonder what others he means.
It doubtless required year/
to find the man who looks so
pei feebly at ease in a union
suit ad.
It isn’t so very difficult to sue
ceeu if you have industry, com
mon sense and a few fiivt-clas:
enemies.
Not all of the peoples of the
earth are a menace to eivilizat
ion. Some of them haven’t been
civilized yet.
Getting the battery charged
is not nearly so much of a prob -
lem to the average motorist as
finding a place to get the gas
oline charged.
Patient: “Doctor, what I need
is something to stir me up—
something to put me in fight
ng trim.”
Doctor: 11 Well, perhaps I had
better send in my bill.”
Some people persist in buying
wild-cat stock at a rate which
:ugge::ts that they figure their
hank roll has nine lives.
•Teacher: “A biped 13 any
hing that goes on two feet.”
John, can you name one?”
John: “Yes ma’am, a pair of
.locking
Mother: “Where shall J hide
Johnny’s present?”
Father: “I think the best
place i.-s in the bath room.”
A certain convivial chap;
Jealt a bid and no trump; all
massed. Dummy laid down
ds hand and remarked:
“Well, I can’t imagine what
you bid no trump on when I
have three aces and four
kings.”
4‘Well, if you want to know,”
said the dealer, ‘‘I bid it on one
jack with two queens and three
cocktails.”
In the good old days men
used to fight mainly over hon
or and ladies fair. But nowa
days honor is so cheap and lad
ies are so plentiful that no one
hinks of corning to blows over
anything except politics and
parking places.
An eastern paint manufactur
er recently received the follow
ing letter:
‘Gentlemen: Will you please
send us some of your striped
paint? We want just enough
.0 cover one barber pole.”
Lady: ”IIow much are these
hickens?”
Butcher: “A dollar and a
oalf, ma’am.”
Lady: “ Did you raise them
yourself?”
Butcher: Yes, ma’am, they
were §1.25 yesterday.”
‘‘What made the teacher so
mad she sent you home?”
“Well,” said Johnnie, “she
was talking about trees, and 1
asked her if she had ever seen
a pink palm. She said ‘no,’ and
f showed her my hand.”
Among the most beautiful
words in the language, when
/oil say ’em yourself, are I
told you so.
