AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
This 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
formation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Labor Day
Although Labor Day as we
know it in America was first
celebrated less than a half-'
century ago; the parade which
usually accompanies its.observ
• a nee might well be considered
as a revival of medieval pro
cessions of the craft-guilds in
England and on the continent
of Europe.
While there is some differ
ence of opinion among labor
historians as to the exact origin
of Labor Day, it appears that
its first observance was a pa
rade of the Central Labor Un
ion of Ne .v York in 1882. The
idea spread and in 1SS7 Colo
rado passed the first law mak
ing the daylegal holiday. In
1894 Congress made Labor
Day a holiday in the District of
Columbia and in all Federal
departments, since which time
nearly all the states have given
the day official recognition.
It is the nation’s annual trib
ute to its vast army of work
ers and a fitting recognition of
the dignity of honest toil.
o
Who Owns The Stocks?
I
It is popularly supposed, no
doubt, that in the stock crash
last fall most of the losers were
tile little fellows who were nov
ice? at the game of speculation.
While many small fry were
caught in the panic, it now ap
peals that the heaviest losers
were more experienced profes
sionals.
An interesting sidelight is
the fact that thousands of i
small invertors took advantage
of the drop in prices and
bought at low levels while the
professionals were unloading
out ot necessity. Some inter
esting lesults are shown by a
lecent count of stockholders of
several leading corporations.
Today Montgomery Ward
has more than six times as
many stockholders as it had a
year ago; General Motors has
more than three times as
many; International Telegraph
three times as many, while
United Gas, Electric Bond &
Shares and other utilities have
more than twice as many stock
holders as they had this time i
last year.
These n e w stockholders j
bought when prices were low, i
and most of them bought for !
permanent investment, not for |
speculation. They are-receiv-j
ing good dividends on their in- j
vestments, so it appears that;
the past year has shown the lit
tle fellow from Main Street to I
be smarter than some of the
big fellows in Wall Street.
o
America Can Demand
Kerronitization of Silver
(From the Spokane Press.) |
America in 1870 was not aj
world power. Perhaps Amer-!
ica could not then have pre-1
vented the demonitization of I
silver, even if America’s bud
ding statecraft had realized
what it was all about. But to
day America can say to the
world: “Remonitize silver.
Halt this robbery of Asia,and
Palin America. Restore the
value of Asia’s money and
make it possible for Asia to
buy our wheat, our motor-cars
and our manufactured goods.” !
Unless America takes this
lead, the day is coming when
800 million Asiatics will re
solve to wipe the while race off
the earth.

Tribute To Greatness
There is instinctive wisdom
in our custom of paying tribute
to great figures in our national
history. We esteem them not
alone for what they have done
for our own peace, success and
happiness, but because we foc
us in them our ideals and aspir
ations, even tho we may not
really recognize the fact. Their
memory builds a shrine for
varied offerings, a temple for
•many forms of faith. We iden
tify them with things spiritual,
needful and vital to our own as
surance in daily life and there
by they grow beyond their or
iginal stature and become the
guides, counselors and inspir
ation of a nation.
In paying tribute to their
memory we acknowledge the
principles and ideals which are
the core of our national life
and the only guarantee of its
integrity.
