A Record of Defeat
With the return of the an
niversary of Lincoln’s birth,
it is not inappropriate to re
call that his earlier history
provides a record of defeat
scarcely exceeded in the polit
ical history of our country.
He was first defeated as a
candidate for legislature in
1832, again in 1838 he was de
feated as candidate for speak
er, and in 1840 again defeat
ed as a candidate for elector.
Other defeats sustained in
cluded one as candidate for U.
S. Senator in 1855; for the
vice - presidential nomination
in 1856; again as candidate
for U. S. Senator in 1858; foi
commissioner of the General
Land Office in 1843; for con
gressional nomination in 1843
and for re-election to congress
in 1848. Jn 1833 he also failed
in business and lost his prop-1
erty.
But, in the face of defeat and
failure he eventually achieved
the highest office within the
gift of the nation and also a
fame that will make his name '
survive in history as long as
human records endure.

Campaign Straws
Preliminary polls designed to
get the drift of political sen
timent have begun to appear j
and some results have been
given out.
A poll of 582 newspaper ed- j
itors by Publisher’s Service
Magazine showed leading
candidates for presidential
nomination to stand as fol
lows: Republicans—Hoover,
320; Coolidge, 19; Dawes, 10.
Demacrats — Roosevelt, 154,
Baker, 132; Ritchie, 22; Smith
12.
Sevety representative papers
polled by the Literary Digest
were asked what prospective
candidates were most talked
about by their readers. Those
mentioned 25 times or more
were these:
Republicans — Hoover 70;
Coolidge, 43; Borah, 31, John
son, 28; Pinchot, 26; Dawes,
25. Democrats — Roosevelt,
70; Baker, 69; Ritchie, 63;
Smith, 56; Young, 35; Murray,
30.
As this is written, Hoov
er is the only republican can
didate for whom a formal an
nouncement has been made,
and Ritchie is the only demo
crat to declare himself a can
didate. Coolidge and Dawes
have definitely come out in fa
vor of Hoover. It has been
known that Roosevelt is act
ively seeking the democratic
nomination, while Baker is un
mistakably in a receptive
mcod.
Most puzzling to political ob
servers is the attitude of Al.
Smith, who has not committed
himself directly or indirectly.
It is generally believed that he
would welcome another nom
ination but whether he will be
come an active candidate is
mi umwijvvn.
At present the renomination
president Hoover seems as
sured, but there will be some
lively jockeying among the
democratic aspirants between
now and the June convention.
The poll conducted by Pub
lisher’s Service Monthly dis
closed that of the 582 news
paper editors represented 300
were of the opinion that the
•ampaign will result in a dem
jcratic victory, while 143 pre
dicted a republican adminis
.ration.

Silver Deserves Help
We have stated before and
again we repeat: The prob
em back of silver goes deep
er than its profitable produc
ion. The fundamental cause
>f the world-wide business
icpi cbuiuii huh ueen urougni
ibout mainly by the lack of a
money medium of uniform val
le sufficient in quantity to
conduct the business affairs of
i the world, and made non
; fluctuating by having it tied
! o basic mineral reserves. This
means the use of both gold and
| diver, because there is not
| mough gold in the world to
| serve this purpose.
Silver deserves the united
help of the world. In stabili
1 zation and proper utilization
may be the means of again re
storing confidence in the mon
ey markets of the world and
may lead us back to the door
of prosperity. — Mining Con

It appears that Al. Smith
doesn’t choose to tell whether
he will choose to run.
We read that 35 per cent of
people have perfect vision.

people is that they usually in
sist on telling us of how super*

What nerve! They want to
cut Babe Ruth’s salary below
that of President Hoover and
Mr. Creekmore.
NOT FIRED

“Yes, 1 served iu de army for four

i “An’ wiu yeh honorably dls

1 not. I up en quit on me own hook.”
We might learn to love our
j enemies by considering that
they never pester us with a
lot of unsought advice.
As we understand it, our
former allies would just as
soon receive their reparations
from Uncle Sam as from Ger
many.

“Why?”

A scientist declares that in

many write 20 times as much

have to say.
“Tommie,” said the teacher,
“what is one-fifth of three
seventeenths?”
“I don’t know exactly,” re
plied Tommy, “but it isn’t
enough to worry about.”

shop) : “How many of these
sweets do I get for a penny,
please?”
Assistant: “Oh, six or seven.”
“I’ll have seven, please.”
TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
February 1, 1922
The Premier tram continues
to work perfectly and is ex
ceeding its specified delivery
capacity by 30 per cent, de
positing 13 tons of ore an oour
in the bunkers instead of ten,
for which the contract called.
A doulble shift was put on
the tram this week and it is
understood that there is suf
ficient shipping ore in sight at
the mine to keep the 23-mile
string of buckets operating at
full capacity throughout the
year. This means that the Pre
mier will produce this year at
least $15,000,000, more than
one-half of the total mineral
production of British Colum
I bia.
One-third interest in the B.
C. Silver group, adjoining the
Permier, has been purchased
by New York interests, pre
sumed to be the Guggenheims,
| for a price said to be $100,
000, the vendors being Grant
Mahood of Stewart and O. B.
Bush of Vancouver. The Selu
qui Gold Fields, Ltd., of South
Africa, represented on this
coast oy L. A. Banks ot Van
[ couver, controls the remaining
! two-thirds. The property was
| originally staked by Grant
j Mahood, Chas. Lake and Dave
! Leary.
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Prov
ince, recent arrivals from Se
attle, have rented Louis
| Legge’s cabin.
I Billy McDonnell has taken
| over the operation of the mov
ing picture machine in the Hy
der theater.
A baby daughter was born
in Stewart Monday night to
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Knipple.
Dr. Chase of Hyder was in at
tendance.
There are a bunch of import
ant birthdays in this month;
George Washington, Abe Lin
coln, E. L. Dale, Harry Tan
ner, John Cornyn and Ground
Hog.
The initial tram installed on
the Silverade is operating and
the high grade ore that was
sacked during the course of
development is moving down
the hill to where it can be
reached by a rawhide trail.
The ore will be rawhided down
to the old railroad barn and
transferred to the wharf by
sleds. No ore has been sacked
that would not go better than
$300 per ton and some of it
leaches the $1,000 mark.
There was between 20 and 3ft
! tons of this grade ore sacked
i at the mine when the tram
j started operating,
i Under instructions from Hy
j der Igloo of Pioneers, R. L.
I Stewart, their secretary, has
j addressed a letter to Alaska
j delegate Dan Sutherland re
! garding Salmon river request
ing him to bring the matter of
securing flood protection for
the town before the proper de
partments. The letter points
out that homes and other
property has already been
damaged and in some instanc
es entire lots have been swept
away completely.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bar
ron entertained Monday in
