A WAVE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
A sudden wave of righteousness appears to have
struck some of the Eastern newspapers, especially those
of Chicago, which are leveling an attack against mining.
In the light of what has transpired on the grain and
stock markets this effort to curb the movement which,
with farming, has been the only agency thru which the
rank and file of peoples have been able to buy bread, this
outcry cannot be accepted as an act of righteosness cal
culated to save the country from mine speculation.
The facts are, mining threatens to emancipate the na
tion from the grip of the master gamblers, now juggling
the nation’s wealth voted the mby a sympathetic congress.
It always happens at the moment the people seek to
break the grip of the East there is an outcry of hypocriti
cal warning. It is the product of fear that the old financial
shell game is becoming unfashionable and that money ne
cessary to carry on the stock market game may be divert
ed to such legitimate uses as creating new wealth to take
the place of that filched from the people.
Despite all of the abuses which have followed mining
booms there is no record in history where they even ap
proached, much less exceeded, the swindles carried on un
der the guise of legitimate stock trading.
When this “holier than thou” movement originates
in Chicago it awakens the risibilities. But it may be a
question of methods. Chicago has enjoyed big-time rack
eteering so long that it evidently has come to accept it as
the only legitimate means of making money. Piracy on
the high seas once enjoyed this belief.
What has become of the herd of zebras Senator How
ell said he wished to see roaming the veldt in Alaska?
Even a lightweight Alaska politician can sling a heavy
chunk of mud.
Moonlight inspires the writing of poetry, while Alas
ka moonshine supplies the urge to try and sing it.
About the only political explosion promised for the
nation is that of a number of exaggerated egoes.
