DEPEND ON THE TROLLEY
TrucKmen With Heavy Loads Get i'm
 the Tracks and Wait for Boost.

New York truckmen seem to have contracted habit of making electric ears push their trucks up hills. and, as rule. the cars' crews are nothing loath, although passengers in hurry frequently suffer in spirit as they pro ceed at snail's pace up some of the long hills. like the one of Amsterdam avenue at Morningside and Washing ton Heights, says the New York Sun.
 There is local ordinance forbid ing vehicles to hold to the car tracks for more than two blocks when a car is behind changing for clear track. But the truckmen ignore it and con- ductors and motormen haven't time to get 1t enforced.
 When there's cop on the car" said conductor, "he's apt to get tired after two or three blocks and to go out on the front platform to yell at the truckman, who generally turns around to sass back, but seeing the uniform draws to one side. If no cops on the car we can't do anything. Cops stand on the sidewalk here Git was on Am sterdam avenue) and pay no attention to trucks that have held the track from One Hundred and Twenty-fifth to One Hundred and Sixteenth street. We don't object to helping them along in wet or slippery days, but on 8 dry day when the roads good these truck men ought to get off once in awhile They don't, though, for they know we'll usually help them.''
 There is a hill on West One Hundred rnd Ninth cfroof froro Manhattan fo Columbus avenue that truckmen don't like to negotiate unless helped along by a car. Recently man driving a com paratively light wagon hitched to a single horse drove on the track and stopped. It was nearly five minutes before a car came along.
 Give me a boost" cried the truck man.
 "All right" said the motorman.
 Don't you do it,' yelled car start CT, running up. That fellows been there five minutes. Make him get off the track
 Don't you get off, yelled man on the sidewalk, who resembled pool room lookout.
 The starter took the horse by the bridle and started to lead him from the track, whereupon the lookout ran out into the street and pushed him aside. There was 8 long block and a dispute until a policeman hove in sight ten minutes later.
 At the sight of him the truckman drew aside. No one was arrested
 These truckmen have the public sympathy on their side when we try to get them out of the way" said the conductor. People seem to think that the Metropolitan Street Railway com- pany wants to own the street when we ring for truck to move over.
 f'They think that by the trucks keep ing back the cars they're spiting the company. They ain't. They're hinder ing the public.
 .'No, sir, obstreperous truckmen don't hurt no one but the public, and that's themselves. If they'd have enough consideration for the public, and realized they were not hurting the company by delaying cars and would give the cars a chance, it would go long way toward making more rapid transit for the neOpIe"

No Exerffo,1 af All.

A writer in London newspaper says: "In describing the royal prog ress to open parliament one of the morning papers declared that the queens incessant lowing in acknowl- edgment of the crowds applause amounted to no inconsiderable physi- cal exertion. It happened few years ago that the writer drove short dis tance in royal carriage. He found it difficult to maintain an upright pose and not to bow automatically and fre- quently. The fact was. and is, that the seats of royal carriages so rest on springs and rollers that lowing is al- most involuntary. Royalty sits down and the seat does the rest.'

THE MOHAWK CONFERENCE

At the annual Lake Mohawk Indian
 conference, recently held, Charles J
 Bonsparte, chairman, said in his open
 ing address :
 "rhe American natl on owes to its Indian wards, first of all, and beyond all else-justice and justice Is what they have least frequently and least readily obtained. We have been, in n sense, profusely generous to them. If all the public money expended, and in great part wasted Ondeed, too often worse than wasted), svowedly for their benefit were now invested for their use the mere income would render what is left of them the richest community in the world. We have poured out to them oceans of emotional sympathy, partly humanitarian, partly artistic i; common sense and fair regard for their own welfare, as we'll as for ours, have been more than once in grave danger of drowning under floods of sentiment. But the one thing it has always been and is now hard to get for them Is simple justice.
 The final platform adopted by the conference recommended The taking of initial steps by congress looking to the closing up of the Indian bureau as soon as it may be done safely and the ultimate transfer of it's functions to the several states and territories i; adequate provision in the meantime for all neces's 'sry increase in the number of day schools for whites and Indians to- gether that non.reservation and h. dian boarding schools should not be enlarged nor increased in number :; that native in lastries should be en- outraged.

deplorable feature of the election in Globe was the free use of whiskey, which is entirely inexousable, in view of the very plain provision of law against it. Two liquor joints were main tained in the same block with the court house where the polling place was located, and their existence must have been known to the local officers as there was no attempt whatever tC conceal them. The prohibition of liquor in elections should be enforced which would be in the interest of all political parties. and especially of tht candidates who furnish it. A man who will debauch voters by giving them whiskey is not deserving of the sup port of any reputable citizen.

 New York, Nov.S .S.-The Odore Roose- velts plurality ln this, his native state, Is second only to McKinley's 26s, 900 in 1896. It exceeds McKinley's in 1900 by about Il ,000. Late returns show there were cast for him in New York state about 1S5, 900 votes more than for Par ker. Not only was his vote heavy in the country districts, where the repub- lican strongholds are, but in Greater New York, additionally democratic, he ran much closer to Judge Parker than had been expected even by his own campaign managers. He come down to Bronx with better than l40, ,00O plurality, but figures tonight showed that this forecast would be exceeded by approximately 5000. Within the city Parker 5 supporters had expressed hopes that their candidate would have from 140.000 to 160,OO0 more than Roosevelt, but in this they were disap pointed by more than loo, 900. So over. whelming was the republican vote that tue result was known positively early in the evening.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Later ant more complete returns from the election throughout the United States emphasize the republi- can victory. Every doubtful state, in cluding probably Maryland, has cast its vote for republican electors, and President Ro osevelt has received the largest popular vote ever accorded n president. The result is surprise only in the whie extent of the victory, exceeding the most optimistic fore casts of the re publican leaders.
 The verdic must be accepted as proof that the American people are satisfied with present conditions and the outlook for a continuation of the prosperity whi,h the United States has so long enjoyed, The American peo- pie are conserv stive, even to the ex- tent that they will tolerate abuses rather than distu ,b business conditions which make for prosperity. Onerous taxes the result of enormous national expenditures are borne in plenteous times whereas general business de- pression brings dissatisfaction and in. crsases opposition to the policies of the party in power.
 After so many years of dissension in the democratic party of the nation it was hardly to be expected that the wounds made by factioual strife could be so quickly healed and the divergent views of party leaders harmonized so as to insure success in the national contest just closed. Sweet are the uses of diversity" and may it not bs that the recent defeat will impress upon all true democrats the necessity of agreement on party policies and unity of action that will restore the democratic party to its former power as a great force in national affairs.

DAlY-WEST DIVIDEND
 LIKELY TO BE CUT AGAIN

The stock of the Daly-West Mining company is still being kicked about in the market like football, apparently friendeSs and with small indication of any improvement in the immediate future. The truth Of the matter is that feeling prevails very generally that the company mast again reduce It's dividend rats, and it will not be at all surprising, according to late ad- vices coming from trustworthy sources in Salt Lake City, if the re. duction is made during the current month. The expectation among those well informed now is that the cut, when 1t comes, will be to a 20 cent level. Indeed, the best friends of the management are advising this course In the strongest manner possible.
 In this connection it may be added that several of the directors have within the past few months practically sold out their stock, and at least two members of the board are not holding now any more than the law requires for directory membership. The out put of the mine during the past month has shown some shrinkage and the feeling concerning the future of the stock, both in Salt Lake ana here Tn Boston, continues uneasy. Boston JC urnal

ROORBACkS

The close of the campaign iu Globe was enlivened by the emission of two printed circul ars, one by Lyman O. Woods in the interest of his own can. didacy for supervisor, and against J. C. Oldfeld, democratic candidate for the same office, and the other circular coming from "Bill' Sparks, Arizona ranger and politician, in support of Pollard Pearson, Both writers took occasion to air their grievances against the editor of the SILVER BELT
 MT. Woods production was pur- posely withheld from the public until Monday afternoon. so that there would not be time to refute the false state- ments it contained-one of which was that the former board of supervisors, of which MT. Oldfield was chairman, made personal note to the First Ma. tional Bank for 5000. in order to pro- cure the money with which to pay for the court house lot purchased from Mrs. Kinney. It is sufficient to state that J. N. Porter. president of the bank, has denied this over his own sig nature. The statement that the tax levy has been reduced by the present board is also untrue. The reduction of the total levy from S4.00 to S3.95 Is ac- counted for by the fact that the terri torial levy this yeur is ten cents less than it was last year. The board of supervisors have actually increased the levy for county purposes five cents.
