AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with any
nock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
lormation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Silver Outlook Good
Close perusal of the Outside
papers reveals that more of
the world’s industrial and po
litical leaders are commencing
to recognize the necessity for
a return to silver as a mone
tary medium. One can scarce
ly pick up an important news
journal without encountering
an article from influential
sources expressing the view
that the forced depreciation of
silver was one of the most im
portant factors in producing
the present world-wide depres
sion, and that the rehabilitat
ion of the white metal is es
sential to a return of world
prosperity.
Bankers and financiers ap
pear to be about the only in*
terests which are unwilling to
concede silver’s importance to
world finance. One seldom en
counters a statement by one of j
the money-bag ilk who is real
ly prominent who has a good
word to say for silver; their
expression being directed print
cipallly toward inducing a be
lief that prosperity’s return is
dependent upon reductions in
wages and living standards.
But, while this attitude on the
part of financial leaders has
a tendency to hamper action
with respect to silver rehabil
itation, the number of influen
tial leaders in other fields
who endorse silver is growing
at such a rate as to leave nc
doubt that the interest shay
ing clan will ultimately be
forced to acknowledge other
monetary gods than gold.
Viewing the remarkable
growth in silver sentiment, one
can hardly escape the convic
tion that the silver outlook is
better than at any time since
the agitation for remonitizat
ion started.
Glorifying Gangsters
In hi9 speech before a con
vention of police chiefs recent
ly President Hoover suggested
in substance that if there were
less glorifying of gangsters
and more glorifying of police
men it might help in solving
the crime problem. And there
is much truth in that, although
many policemen merit little
glorification.
There is a tendency on the
part of many newspapers, and
in some instances on the part
of motion pictures, to paint the
gangster as a bold, romantic
character. The fact is that he
w usually a sneaking coward
who never gives his victim the
slightest chance. True, he will
do murders for a price, but
gangdom is so well organized
and justice so laggard that he
knows the chances of legal
punishment are negligible. The
1 gangster fears rival gangsters
far more than he fears the
law. When he does land in jail
temporarily, bail is always at
hand, supplied by other gang
sters or men higher Hip. The
front page notoriety he gets is
unction to his own soul and he
revels in it.
i The newspapers have made
Scarface A1 Capone a roman
tic hero in the eyes of an in
credibly large moron populat
ion.
But, speaking of Al. he did
gpt an unlooked-for reception
a few days ago when he and
some of his gang attended a
football game at Evenston,
111. The crowd booed and jeer
ed until they sneaked away.
Which shows that the press
and public might do much to
ward putting the gangster in
his place by holding him up to
the scorn he deserves, instead
of throwing the glamor of ro
mance about his despicable
perttonality.
Just for Fun
?'
Visitor: “And how old 4s
your baby, dear?”
Small sister: “He isn’t old at
all. He’s this year’s model.”
The United States now has
180,000 Indians, not including
the Tammany tribe.
Arabs believe that the stork
has a human heart. Anyway,
the famed bird is extremely
generous to some families.
Italy now forbids the expor
tation of genuine antiques,
but Americans will continue to
buy and lug home the other
kind.
Jack Dempsey is said to be
about to get a divorce. So, it
seems that the old mauler is
really tired of fighting.
We read that few gunmen
drink. The accuracy of their
aim seems to confirm that
statement.
Judging by the husbands
some ladies pick out, it seems
that the ladies are not so hard
i to please after all.
Dumb' Dora thinks those
Hindu "untouchables” must be
bankers.
The cloud of business depres
sion may have a silver lining,
but only the Democratic pol
iticians can see it.
A new film has only women
characters. And, of course,
some mean man had to remark
that it must be all-talkie.

; Patient: "Doctor, how are
j my chances?”
\ Doctor: “Oh, pretty good,
! but I wouldn’t start reading
any continued stories.”
A refreshing note, among
Hollywood’s affectations, is
the comedian who will furnish
one room in his new home with
an iron bed and cheap wall
paper, where he can be “self
unconscious.”
“Sine your shoes, mister?”
| “No time, sonny.”
i “Well, to start the day right
• I’ll do one for nothing.
| “All right, go ahead.”
i “There, how does she look,
boss?”
“Fine.”
[“Well, for 15 cents I’ll do the
I other one.”
