AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
rormation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Peace A Myth
Despite the overflowing op
timism of peace advocates and
the calling of disarmament
conclaves, the outlook for fut
ure world peace is very far
from favorable if recent find
ings of the Institute of Internat
ional Law may be accepted as
indicative of the prospects.
Statistics compiled recently
by the Institute reveal that in
spite of some 8,000 peace treat
ies promulgated in the past,
mankind has seen Qnly 268
years of peace in the past 3.400
years. And even in these 268
years peace was only relative,
as minor conflicts between re
mote tribes probably escaped
record.
Still more significant is the
fact that the supposedly endur- J
ing peace promised by the 8,- j
000 historical peace pacts last- j
ed only about two years for;
each, it was figured.
Thus it appears that enduring
peace is still rather much of -i i
myth in spite of agreements
and will probably continue to
be such until mankind has as
similated more of the real
meaning of tolerance and
brotherly love. And it appears
that time is still far away.
Let’s Be Consistent
Republican leaders at the
Chicago convention were
doubtless justified in pointing
to the good will of the Latin
American republics as one
bright spot in the record of the
present administration, for
changes in attitude toward our
neighbors have been applaud
ed by the Latin-American
press.
A fairer interpretation of the 1
Monroe Doctrine and a repudi
ation of the principle of armed
protection of our private inter
ests in the Caribbean have con
tributed to this rapproachment.
But most of all our sister re
publics have been gratified by
a reversal of the policy of non
recognition ct revolutionary
governments. “From now on,’*
said Secretary Stimson, “any
government which is the ex
pression of popular will, even
if born of revolution, and
which is able to assure internal
order and protection to foreign
lives and property will be rec
ognized by the United States.”
This was a reversal of the
Wilsonian policy but was a re
turn to the true democratic
principle of Thomas Jefferson.
But campaign orators may
find one vulnerable spot even
in this record. WThile new gov
ernments set up by revolutions
n South America may be rec
ognized as soon as they h;.ve
demonstrated their stability,
he five republics of Central
America are subject to differ
ent rules because of a treaty
which they signed in Washing
ton in 1923 aimed to outiaw
.evolutions. Although the Unit
ed States is not a party to that
reaty, we have refused to rec
ognize the present government
of El Salvador, headed by Gen
eral Martinez, who, as the vice
ciesident, assumed the presi
dency when President Araujo
was forced to flee from the
country because of his poor
record in office.
The inconsistency in our pol
icy is patent. Why not treat
all our neighbors alike?
-o
Turn About
The way back to prosperity,
as we understand some of our
economists, is to spend the dol
lar we haven’t got in order
that the man who gets it can!
spend it with us. Reminds us
somewhat of of the old editor
whose paper wasn’t paying
very well. Somebody asked
him how he made it if he
couldn’t keep what was com
ing in equal to what was going
out.
“See that old man at the
printing press yonder,” he re
plied. “Well, he works for me
until I owe him enough for
him to take over the shop;
then I work for him and get it
back again.” —Beverly Hills
j ( Calif.) Citizen.
Just for Fun
-o
There will never really be a
“forgotten man” so long as he
has anything that can be
taxed.
Spmeone has suggested a
“Think More Week.” It would
be a noble experiment for a
good many people.
If, as the meteorologists pre
dict, there is to be a lack of
rain this fall, it will be hard
on the political mud-slingers.
It seems that we have so far
forgotten the war as to deco
rate Mr. Schmeling of Ger
many with the Double Cross.
Correct this sentence: I al
I ways read the political plat
| froms carefully before decid
ing which candidate to support.
Alabama scientist have made
sugar out of peanut shells
j Now let them try making
I statesmen out of peanut poli
j ticians.
j An exchange claims to have
discovered the laziest man. His
name is Will Knot and he saves
effort by signing it “Won’t.”
Both parties are said to face
the campaign with confidence.
Anyway, they may be confid
ent that voters will not take
platforms or campaign promis
es too seriously.

was a pleasing surprise, as the
piece assayed 811 ounces in
silver, and the resultant button

nice stick pan. Mr. Kahn in
