THE s.AEsTl' SE' H.a-TEcJt'-
TON.

A new thing in politics, and one
that could never have been incur
bated outside Of Ormshy county.
is TO have party whose main idea
is based upon the destruction Of
the business interests Of the com
munity.
One hardly knows where to class
such party. Il reminds one OF a
scientist discovering new bIrd or
reptile. They might appropriately
be called the '-Pu,, Downs The
spacious mauipulators Of the new
party. who. If course. are Demo
Gratis. have mapped out . program
me for the Fall campaign. The
platform Of the party appears
about as follows when summed W:
The driving from the county ct
every man who helped to develop
it.
The depreciation Of property
values.
The downfall Of men who employ
white help.
The uplifting of men who do
not.
It would at first flash seem that
no one outside Socialist beer Gel
lar could be found who would be
willing to stand upon such plat
form. They have been found how
ever. and they now occupy the
standing room upon the platform.
These men are being led through
the prejudice Of blindness by men
who propose to use them for TEN
pOrary purpose only.
Let the citizens Of Carson see to
it that the men who have iucubated
this conspiracy to down the town OF
Carson BY driving capital and en-
terpriSe away from it are made to
feel thar clique of disappointed
cranks do not run this city. They
have come no in various DISCUSSES,
and masqueraded along the boards
over and over again, but their
lunacy was OF the mild type.
Their proposition to loot the city
of Carson. to crush all who are en-
gagged in building up the country,
t. dictate the methods by which
old taxpayers shall conduct their
business, is one which carries their
heretofore harmless vagar'es be-
yond the line where patience is a
virtue. Every good citizen should
assist his neighbors in meeting the
present trouble and disposing of il
This movement of the cranks
should be squelched. and forever,
upon the broad basis that it is
public nuisance and should be
abated. The regular taxpayers of
the city have but one course to
pursue, and they should make the
action effective.

The Young Fathers First Telegram.

Ii is great fun to watch the senders of
these first baby dispatches as they pre-
pare them. A young father comes in
with hurried step ana an exultant
beaming face. He grasps the blank,
and dashes off something like this:
Great news Mary very well! Fine
boyr'
Then he tears that up. Somehow he
doesn't want the rude telegrapher TO
know the name of the helpless but happy
sufferer, and he tries it again. Expect
ed event realized; little girl; wife do
ing we'll y but. pshawn he says,
that's rather cold way to speak Of
her to her own father and mother.
Wife-why, of course she's wife, but |
don't like that" and he tears it up.
Then he starts again, and this time he
says. '.Confound the telegrapherl He
shan't know anything about it," and he
writes, ut has come eight pounds
female; mother all right" He looks at
it minute and tears it up, with the re-
mark, They don't know whether that
means Jersey calf or a Hambletonan
colt BY this time the young man has
got into sweat, and grabbing pencil
he dashes off, ''lt's a girl. Mother do
ing nicely" and after looking at that
five or six minutes, and it may be with
moistened eye, he signs his first name
to it and hands it in. They're proud
and happy and conscious, and yet they
will do almost anything to conceal their
identity.
Sometimes the young man comes in
showing signs that the great domestic
event has been too much for him, and
then have TO take the pencil and help
him out, and | do it in a practical way.

The enemies of Mr.. Mckenzie hav-
ing been concentrated for the final
struggle this week, are making last
desperate effort to crush him at home
by circulating the story that he was
responsible for the working of COIL
victs outside of the penitentiary. OF
course no well-informed man will be
misled by this false statement, but it
has already been demonstrated that
it's not an honorable warfare that is
being waged upon Mr.. Mckenzie. 1t
was simply the sworn duty of Mr..
Mckenzie to execute the law author
izing the hiring out of convicts that
could not be confined inside of the PEN
itentiary. If the law is bad one. as
some people profess to believe, the
Legislature, and not the commission
ers, is to be blamed. The commits
sioners are no more culpable than is
the sheriff who executes the law in
hanginga convicted murderer. These
enemies know this, but they are will
ing to adopt any means, no matter
how foul or unjust, to compass the
defeat of the object of their malice.
