Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. Nevada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA From the Californian, March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists in the right to publish the Truth, with good motives and for ifiable ends. ton. just—Alexander Hami.= Vote for President Roosevelt and give nine and a half million men and women a third term on unemployed doles. Vote for Wendell Willkie, throw Mr. Roosevelt out of employment and put nine and -a half million, unemployed since Mr, Roosevelt took over, back to work. In this way the democratic ideal of the greatest good to the greatest number can be realized. Among other things to which President Roosevelt gives lip service are the revered names of Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson.: But it was Andrew Jackson who six: times asked the United } States Congress to submit to the states an amendment limiting the terms of the Chief Executive. Both Jackson and Jefferson, loving their country better than themselves, refused a third. George Washington, offered a third term, said: “The period for a new election of-a citizen to administer the executive government of the United States, being not far distant, and the time actuall arrived when your thoughts must’ be employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper,” especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among _ those, out of whom a choice is to be made.” a At a time when the population of this country was between thirteen and perhaps twenty millions, Presidents Washington, Jefferson, (Madison, ‘Monroe, and Andrew Jackson all refused to be considered candidates for a third term. They, even in those days of a small population did not regard themselves as indispensible to ‘the nation’s welfare. But President Roosevelt in a population of 131,400,000 people, regards himself as the only man capable of filling the office of President. Is there character in all history, Alexander the Great, Julius ‘Caesar, Charlemagne, William the Conqueror, i Napoleon, or in our day, . Wilhelm, Adolph Hitler, or Stalin, who was or is Subject. to a greater delusion of grandeur? any Mussolini, We hear that good saw: ‘‘Never swap horses in the middle of the stream,” trotted out and now used as an argument to perpetuate Mr. Roosevelt in office. But as, Mary Pickford, pertinently asks: ‘‘How do we happen to be in the middle \ : of the stream?’’ ‘Mor seven years, . a the film star points out, we have 4 been splashing around in the midi dle of the same stream’ of the world dangers, the mounting deficit, the same old millions on the dole, when long ere this we should have ‘been on dry ground with our feet planted on the firm earth. As a matter of fact the little lady points out, we have not been on a horse at all, but on a donkey who has deliberatelybalked in the middle of the stream. Merry Miss Pickford says: “You remember seven years ago we climbed aboard this donkey because he brayed so loudly and convincingly that w believed he could take us from a ‘shore of depression, severe unemployment and heavy taxation ,safely and speedily across a certain stream called the stream of promises to the opposite shore of ‘prosperity and abundance for all. “That was seven long years ago and since then that donkey has gotten deeper and deeper into that stream of promises and now -we find we just haven’t been able to get out from continually being in the middle. On top of that we’ve ‘ been having a heck of time _ to keep our heads above water. “What we have gotten out of that ride has been a good soaking. We've been thoroughly immersed and submerged, we've been dunked and almost sunk. ‘We’ve been floundering. We’ve been inundated, saturated and liquidated and at the end of seven long years we ifind ourselves all wet and in plenty of hot water—and that stream of promises just keeps’ rolling along. “Well, anyway, here we are in 4 the middle of the stream and our little old donkey is water logged and water bogged and _ suddenly and fortunately at this moment a big, strong, young, healthy eleph-" ant comes boldly cutting through the water.

CRIPPLE CREEK DRAINAGE BORE Clayton (Bennett; superintendent of the Sixteen-to-One mine at Alleghany, has returned from the convention of the American: Mining Congress at Colorado Springs. While there he was among the delegates who were permitted to inspect the operation of boring the great tunnel to drain the Cripple Creek mines. This tunnel makes an average of 60 feet a day.

The holes are-so placed that with each blast nine feet of rock is broken clean. The mine cars used hold three tons each. Three shifts of miners are employed and thus far the tunnel has traversed little but granite. making little timbering necessary.
