with the Southern Pacific Company

JUDGE SCORES
A GOVERNOR
CaustiC Criticism of Gov. A.
T. Bliss, of Michigan, by
Judge Chittenden

Frankfort, Mich, Nov. 22.-Judge
Chittenden's charge to the jury in the
Thomas perjury case in the circuit
court has caused a sensation because
of the courts caustic criticism of Gov
ernor A. T. Bliss.
The governor recently pardoned De-
putty Game Warden Spafford of Cadil-
lac, who was convicted of manslaught-
er at Frankfort. The case arose from
the shooting of a fisherman who, 1t
was claimed, had resisted arrest when
Spafford caught him in an alleged
violation of the state fish and game
laws.
Spafford's pardon was practically
simultaneous with his conviction. His
friends. followed up their advantage
oy charging that Thomas had per-
.ured himself to qualify as juror in
he Spafford case and Governor Bliss
was a picked jury that had convicted
.ipafford.
In the Thomas case Judge Chitten-
den ordered the jury to bring in ver-
dict of not guilty.
This whole proceeding 50 far as the
pardoning of Spafford is concerned and
the arrest and detention of this re-
spondent, Thomas, is a burlesque up
IN decency, justice and fair play
said Judge Chittenden.
Il consider this case an act of per-
secution, placing the administration
tf justice at a disadvantage in the
country and rendering powerless the
function of the court by the blind in
preference of the states chief execu-
tive"
Judge Chittenden has disregarded
the pardon of the governor on the
ground that the document was not
legally drawn and executed and has
ordered Spafford to appear in his
court today for sentence.

New York. Nov. 22.-Bradstreet's

Colder weather over the greater
part of the country has greatly slim
ulated retail trade, and incidentally
quickened a jobping demand in sea-
sonable lines. In some sections in
quiries for holiday goods exceed last

of matrials taken. Interior retailers,
helped by propitious agricultural con-
ditions, are reported to be meeting
obligations very promptly. Farming
interests are apparently in good finan-
eial condition, an inference that seems
10 be evidenced by the fact that they
display unwillingness to part with
their surplus products at anything less
than what they deem satisfactory
prices, though the movement of cur
rency to the interior continues, but on
a smaller scale than for some weeks.
Southrn conditions are especially good.
Railway earnings are still good, the
increase in gross receipts for the first
half of November being 1-2 per cent.
While the foregoing are the favor
able developments of the week, the
fact must not be overlooked that labor
troubles, the gloomy outlook for build
in hn Oft irov, md Cfa

neries, and the continued hesitancy
in the buying of practically all COM

OF THE
COMING YEAR?
A Reader Looks Into the PO-
IitiCaI Situation in Nevada,
and Is Satisfied

Editor of the Silver State: You ask
for my opinion of the chances of sue
cess of the Republican party in Ne
vada next year. Here 1t is:
Nineteen hundred and four-what
will it bring to the Republican party
of Nevada? If defeat, it will be due
to lack of intelligence on the part of
it's managers. There is, and has been,
since 1892 large class of intelligent
independent thinking men in the state,
known as the Silver Party, who are
dissatisfied with past experiences with
the Democratic party of today, and
who would fuse and get with the Re-
portunity-one that would appeal to
their intelligence and high sense of
reason. The question is, how to shape
up the grand old party in Nevada so
as to bring about the desired results.
Surely not by manifesting arrogance
toward the desired class. but to meet
them on terms of equality; to give
them fair representation in the coun-
sells of the party, and honestly, and
for the good that will come of it. treat
them as our peers.
Theodore Roosevelt will be our nom
inee for president and there being no
state offices to fill except that of
United States senator and supreme
judge. it only remains for us to use
judgment in the selection of candi-
dates for those offices. to choose men
| that will be credit to the party and
an honor to the state; men who are
bona fide residents of Nevada and
whose every interest is identified with
the people.
| The history of Senator Stewart in
Nevada has been written and its
pages are complete. He is not pos
sibility of success and to associate his
name with the Republican party of
| Nevada would only destroy all SEM
blance of principle and all chance of
success. We have in our state a num-
Der of able, qualified men, one of
whom can be selected to represent
Nevada in the United States senate
and the party can then appeal to the
people for support with justice and
with reason.
For justice of the supreme court a
man should be selected from the bar
of Nevada whose education and at
tainments together with his strength
of character fit him for the position,
and with such associates beside our
beloved president our party will score
victory in Nevada for the first time
in ten years. Such is the opinion OF
Republican, who desires the sue
cess of the party and who has no per-
sonal candidate to offer, no enemies
to punish and no desire but success.
A REPUBLICAN.

WinnemuCCd Short on Coal
No More in SIGHT

1t is a condition and not a theory,
as Grover Cleveland once remarked,
that confronts Winnemucca now. The
man who hasn't his coal bin we'll fill
ed. or who has no key to his neigh
boris bin. is apt to be up against a
hard proposition ere long.
The supply of coal in Winnemucca
is very small, and now comes word
from the mines that labor troubles
have closed down the works, and no
one knows when any more coal will
be mined. The last orders from local
dealers remain untitled, and the pros
pect of getting them filled any time
soon is poor, indeed. The last lot of
coal received here was sold out at
Sl1.00 a ton; the same quality is now
retailing in San Francisco at $1,000 a
ton, and is going up there in great
big jumps.
Theorizing won't help-cussing af-
fords but a temporary relief it's us
to the plains with our hatchets, and
chop down the sage brush for our
morning and evening fires. Thank
Providence for this climate, we can
get along in the middle of the day
without fire.

TO REMEDY
LAWS DEFECT
Oregon Legislature Has Been
Called together in Extra
Session by Governor

Salem, Ore, Nov. l2.-Governor
Chamberlain yesterday issued a call
to the members of the legislative as
sembly of Oregon, commanding them
to meet at the capitol building in this
city on Monday, December 81 1908, for
the purpose of convening in extraor-
binary session to enact laws to pro-
vide for levying taxes on assessment
rolls for the year 1903.
This call was made necessary from
the fact that a defect existed in the
act passed by the legislative assembly
of 1908. providing the manner of as
sessment and the levy and collection OF
taxes, known as the Phelps law. The
Phelps law repealed the old law but
did not provide for a tax levy of 1908.
thus leaving the state and counties
without revenue from taxation for an
entire year.
Over sixty members of the legisla-
ture, majority of both houses, have
assured Governor Chamberlain that
they will enact nothing but legisla-
ton which they deemed absolutely
necessary to the welfare of the state.
and adjourn at the earliest possible
date.
Had the extra session not been call
ed the state and all counties. towns
and school districts would have been
thrown upon their own resources and
interest upon warrant Indebtedness
resulting therefrom would have am
ounted to thousands of dollars in ex-
cess OF the cost of the special session.
