SAFE AND SATISFYING
Henry Ward Beecher said: “I admire the miner's
wealth.Itisciean.lt has neither blood nor tears on -it.!
Nobody has been pinched; nobody has been wronged. The’
miner who digs a fortune out of the ground has the sat
isfaction of knowing that he hasn’t robbed a soul, even
though he becomes a thousand times a millionaire.”
It seems safe to say that legitimate mining is safe
and satisfying.
Vote one of the “old line” party tickets. A Red
wouldn’t look good in a white house, anyway.
Equivalent to a companionate marriage is an ortho
dox wedding of a woman who doesn’t like to cook and a
man who doesn’t like to work.
We are living more .than .ever in a mineral age. The
business of mining is increasingly one of the safest and
essential known.
