main concern to use our energy

cussion of the race problem. We
would call attention to the fact
that our people charged with

urge all to become taxpayers and
to promptly pay their taxes; to

EDITORIAL NOTES.

II. f. Huntington Of San Francisco is
the most logical candidate for President
of the Southern Pacific Railroad, an Of
fee that seems to be going begging. de
is a man Of about fifty years, and was
left large property interests by the late
Coils p. Huntington, his uncle. 30 lar
as expressions OF confidence in his char
aeter and ability can be gathered from
his acts, the uncle intended to be sue
oeeded by his nephew. The younger
Huntington is practical railroad man,
who has been for years identified with
Pacific coast interests. The interest OF
the producers and business men OF the
coast in who shall be President is great
end II is hoped a man will be chosen
who is closely identified with the reaI
interests Of the people. Such a mar
will protect the real interests Of the
great corporation.

Much has been said lately in the Ore.

been given the public to understand
that these meetings were held by their

opposed by large majority of the old
soldiers and the Republican party has
met with severe condemnation for its at
tempt to arraign the old soldiers as a

The victory for organized labor in the

who mine the coal are entitled to a

their labor depends the welfare OF or

the matter is that the volunteer
are opposed to any scheme which
sbal array them as a body upon either
side and being divided among them

inclination dictates. A noticeable
feature of this movement is that those

were willing that every one OF then
