What’s the matter with those solons in Tallahassee? They must he afraid of the saloons, or are they waiting for doubloons. Had President Roosevelt considered Proper connotation he would have named Gore as ambassador to Cuba, instead of Puerto Rico. After today the difference between being an honest and law-abiding citizen and an outcast felon is just one gold dollar. You may retain $99 in gold but one more will put you in the hoosegow. .So be a good fellow, put all your gold in Uncle Sam’s care, and take his notes for it— it anywhere. Tuaatoss entered the office. of the Homestead Leader, where “Scoop” Archer holds sway and found just two cents in the tiller, which they did not deign to touch. Looking in a newspaper office for swag is just about the limit of futility, and Home- stead’s Most Important Newspaper is all “afiutter with the flattery paid to it by the would-be burglars, The Citizen has on innumerable oe- easions emphasized the importance of a daily paper as a rumor killer just as much asa. news dispenser. Last week again it was rumored that Rosenthal] was granted a rehearing before the supreme court of this state, The Citizen paid no attention to this rumor and so it died out. Disregard rumors and read the news when it is fresh in your daily paper. <«.iSstmner Welles, the new American ambassador to Cuba, is no novice in Latin American affairs. He was head of the Latin-American division at the early age of+28, and wrote the Washington treaties under which the Central American re- publics, with the moral collaboration of the United States, agreed not to recognize coup d'etat governments among them- selves. He is mble to tell the Cuban dic- tator where to get off in the lingo of the land without the aid of a dictionary. Things look dark fer Machado, which means that soon Liborio will again breathe the air of freedom. Some weeks ago in this colymn, The Citizen, in a spirit of levity suggested that since the assistant postmastera do nearly ait the work, the political sinecure of post- master he abolished as a measure of econ- omy. But now comes the American Legion of Ocean County, N. J, and passes @ resolution in all seriousness calling for the abolishment of first class postmaster jobs throughout the United States in order to effect a saving of some $12,000,000, and « copy of the resolution was forwarded to President Roosevelt. It is not likely, how- ever, that the administration will resort to such drastic measure to encompass the pledge of 25 per cent reduction in ad- ministrative expenditures. “Ladies Must Live,” a movie proclaims, and so must politicians. BIMETALISM The adoption of bimetglism by con- gress last week was the realization of a hope that The Citizen has entertained for some time and which it has advocated, time and again, during that px..od. Every objection that has been made to the free and unlimited coinage of sil- ver could have beep traced to the fetich that the Gold Standard was the only safe standard on which to base a fiscal pol- icy. 5 What was the cause of that view, in what was it grounded? In:eustoms that had eome to be almost second nature to many financiers, none of whom could or can advance any sound reason to prove that gold is a better monetary standard than gold and silver. Intrinsically, silver is more valuable than gold because it can be put to more uses to promote the comfort or convenience of the human race, but gold was favored as the sole standard solely because it was, and still is, searcer than silver. In view of that arbitrary stand, Gold Standard adherents would he Silver Stan- dard adherents were the quantities of the metal in pessession of the world reversed. Fourteen times more silver than gold is produced, but the ratio in the values of the metals has been as high as 84 to one, due | solely to the arbitrary cheapening of sil- ver and boosting of gold. “Boosting” is an apt term because gold had been forced up and up and up with sweeping disregard for its intrinsie worth. Admitting that William Jennings Bryan’s advocacy of the coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to one in 1896 and 1900 was untimely because of the economic condi- tions that prevailed at that time, The Citi- zen maintains that conditions now warrant the coinage of silver, nat necessarily at a ra- tio of 16 to one but at a ratio to be deter- mined by President Roosevelt, in whom The Citizen has implicit faith and confi- dence to fix a fair and workable ratio. In the final analysis, however, money is as good as the gayernment behind it, and, with the government of the. United States behind bimetalism, it will be as sound as though the country were still on the Gold Standard, With a man like Roosevelt in the White House, surrounded by some of the greatest financial experts in the United States, it is idle talk to say that the finan- cial straeture of the country, because of bimetalism, will be in danger of toppling, as Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, and other Republican senators declared during the debate in the senate.an bimetalism and other provisions of the measure for con- trolled inflation. They were merely play- ing politics to the “gallery,” that is, to the country at large, particularly to that part of it that is carried away by high- sounding language that turns aut to be meaningless when one tries te determine ita velevancy. Among the editorials The Citizen has published on bimetaliam ia the following of last March 10, severg) points in which..par- ticularly about world commerce, was stres- sed in the senate during the debate on sil- ver; Not so many years ago proposals to give silver a place in the monetary system seemed the rankest radicalism. Now similar propasgls are finding the support of conservative business leaders, The world has chanaed much ina short time. We have found that gold is not capable of keeping world com- merce constantly in motion. We have seen ruinous silver prices destroy the purchasing power of whole countries and thrust world trade down to the point of disappearance. And we have come gradually and logically to the belief that a necessity of recovery is a fair and unbiased study of the entire monetary problem and the creation of a plan to give silve? stability and per- manent value. One of President Roosevelt's hobbies is stamp collecting. And seme congress- men fear he is too partial te the rubber variety, It is said that President Roosevelt works 15 hours a day, hut «doesn’t faver any share-the-work program for the White House, — Beauty contests have been condemned by the Big Sisters’ Association, possibly beeause the little sisters have carried off the honors.
