Offers to Act as Guide Editor of The Telegram: I was filled with more pity then disgust smsiement surprise or whatever what-ever it is I should hsve felt when I lately heard s visiting churchman ssy thst perhsps there were spsskeasies even in Sslt Lskel Even in Salt Lake! I'll tell the world there ia. I'll not hide anything about myself. my-self. I like a drink when I can gat It and the oftener I can get It the better I like it I do hate to part with good money for bad liquor, though and that's the only kind there Is on tap s round here. I'll be glsd when the people of Utah pull their hesds out of the sand. Then maybe they'll know what's going go-ing on around here. If they think the prohibition law has ever been enforced en-forced here, either before or since the nation went dry, they have another an-other guess coming. If the country goes wet snd Utah stavs dry, It will be worse than ever. Why doesn't the legislsture face the facts ? They ought to put the Utah dry law out on the line right now and get it taken off the law books. Then when liquor comes bsck to the rest of the states us drinking drink-ing men csn get good liquor for our money snd it won't cost so much snd the government will get something out of It instead of all of It going to racketeers and the gravediggers. Everybody who ever steps out of his house snd knows his wsy s round town ought to know whst s joke prohibition pro-hibition Is here. If there is snyons who don't know who wsnts to find out sll they hsve to do is to get in touch with me. I'll be their guide if they'll buy the liquor. I csn take them Into two downtown blocks and take them in eleven speskessies thst sre as essy to get in ss s drug store. HI LAMAS. Silver Holds Danger, But Not to the Masses Editor of The Telegram: I take heart when I resd In The Telegram that it Is becoming recognised recog-nised that the chief enemies of silver remonetizstion sre the lnternstionsl bankers. I hsve often wondered why ' bankers were considered outside the , pals of criticism by the press. Now, ss I ssy, I take heart because it MRU times have rhaneef mil rtunr.

The economic cycle thst brings us our panics would be upset The economic cycle thst makes the world slaves is the economic eco-nomic cycle resulting from dependence depend-ence on gold slone when there Is not by any means one-tenth enough of it for the trade of the world. Let's hsve silver coinage sll over the world snd get rid of slavery to the greedy international bankers. SILVER DICK. Renovation Campaign Means All Must Help Editor of The Telegram: The renovation campaign sponsored by Sslt Lake organisations for the purpose of providing employment In the remodeling snd repairing of business busi-ness buildings snd dwellings Is a most laudable one, and should bsva the whole-hearted support of business houses snd individuals alike. At the ssme time, the campaign will be a dismal failure if each business house snd individusl does not "practice "prac-tice what is preached." In other words. If John Thlsfsllow pledges himself snd his company to the sup- ?ort of the plan snd points out to im ThsUsllow some work thst ought to be done, snd then goes bsck to his own office, store or plant snd fires workers snd slsshes salaries, he will be overbalancing any good that he started out to do in the first plscs. A chsin is no stronger than its ing times bring changing ways. Silver remonetizstion is one of ths most dangerous things snyone could think of for the lnternstionsl bsnk-ers bsnk-ers but not for ths masses. It would transfer power from the few who board the world's gold and thus acquire the power of dictatorship dictator-ship to every crowned hesd, every ministry and every government in the world. With islver where It belongs be-longs in the world money program people would come Into their own sll over the world. Our msrkets would expend. Labor would be em- wu.rii una, ana mnj cummunuj movement is no stronger thsn the links In the chsin thst form it And providing temporary work under forced pressure for a few specific trades will do no good if a general practice of firing snd slashing sslsries lust ss a matter of "principle" (?) continues. There are times when retrenchment re-trenchment is necessary to ssve the very life of a business, but 1 believe thst spplying the ssme principles of "msking work" right in one's own office, of-fice, fsctory or store, will accelerate the renovation campaign such ss noth-lng noth-lng else will.
