twenty-five years have persistently
urged and fought for irrigation legisla-
ton. and 10 the engineers who have
measured Western streams and
threaded the mountains and deserts to
learn the possibilities Of storage and
reclamation we give due and generous
credit and the fullness Of our gratitude.
But above all we declare that the ring
Ing and insistent recommendation of
Theodore Roosevelt that Congress
consider this subjuct was responsible
for the cristalization of all theories and
plans into the bills known as the Ma
tlonal Irrigation Law. which was franz
ed and agreed to by all western Sena-
tors and Congressman and introduced
simultaneously in the Senate and House
and which would have failed In the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt
finally brought his great influence TO
bear to secure its passage.
We rejoice in the requirement by the
United States of sufficient Isthmian
territory upon which to ~excayate. o
struct and operate a commercial canal
between the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans entirely regulated and controll-
ed by the government Of the United
States and which will greatly promote
the industrial development of all sec
tons OF the Pacific Coast and we es-
p~ecially regret that Senator Francis
G. Newlands so far forgot the substan-
tial interests Of the State OF Nevada as
to interpose his vote in the Senate of
the United States against the ratiflca-
ton Of the treaty between the United
States and the Republic CT Panama in
a vain attempt to lnterdict the building
Of such canal.

PLATFORM.

The Republican party Of Nevada in
State Convention assembled reafflrms
its adherence to the principles Of Re-
publicanlsm as expressed in the ma
tlonal platform and wrought into the
government OF the nation from Abra-
ham Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt.
The history Of Repub!icanism is the
party's mightiest platform. Endorsing
the nominees Of the national conven-
ton, we affirm that no man in public
or private life In this country is more
fitted in honesty, daring, uncompro-
missing independence, steadfastness in
what he believes to be right and sound
judgement to guide the American peo-
pie In the fulfillment Of their destiny
the next four years than Theodore
Roosevelt. the stateman in peace, the
hero in war. the westerner always.
and the Republican nominee for Presi-
dent Of the United States.
We respectfully suggest TO the vot-
ers Of Nevada that Alton Brooks Par
ker is too closely allied with the self
fish corporate and moneyed instuti-
tons of Wall street and the lawless
and predatory monopolistic trusts of
the country qualify him for the dis
charge of the duties Of the office for
which the Democratic party OF the
United States has selected him, and

more aptly illustrates his disqualified

National Irrigation.

We congratulate the people Of the
Stale Of Nevada upon the passage Of
the national irrigation law which will
ultimately reclaim the arid. lands Of
the west. and which will within a few
years transform the desert wastes Of
Nevada into fruitful homesteads. We
assert that the attempt to steal the
credit Of this great act for one man
is a t~ravesty on fact and justice. To

agitated this subject, to the western
Senators and Congressman who for

Capital and Labor.

We submit the labor record of the
Republican party against the profess
sions Of Democracy. Republlcanism
has built up a tariff wall about this
country which gives the American
markets to the products of American
labor. II has in every State where in
power enacted legislation favoring
shorter hours and sanitary conditions
Of labor. prohibited child labor, and
passed stringent laws for the safe
guarding Of the life and limb Of en-
~ployees. 1t has under Theodore
Roosevelt substituted arbitration, as in
the coal strike, for the bullet and bayo-
net Of the last Democratic admins
tratien in Its settlement of the Pull
man strike. Promising little, perform
ing much, 1t has been the true and
tried friend Of both capital and labor,
whom 1t holds as equal and concordant
parts of the nations industrial econo-
my. The Republican party will not
support capital in oppression nor labor
in violence, 1t recognizes organized
labor as the unity Of industrial action,
striving to secure a more equitable dis
tribution of the fruits OF industry. II
is the trusted ally Of both capital and
labor; for capital In the things which

0IGYS of the Hermit Crab.

soldier crab, he is sometimes called. The second

PERENNrA1s FOR NEXT YEAR

II is not too late yet to start bed of perennias
for next season that will bloom and take of

and which will be to prove very effective and
satisfactory next summer, may be arranged

in front of these a row OF mixed foxglove. then a
row OF lily bulbs. then centaurea and gaIachia
mixed then perennial asters and peoples. and lark
spur bringing it down to border of striped
ribbon grass. Such bed will continue to thrive
for years. and as the flowers all come into bloom
about the same time the effect is a very gay one.

hollyhocks against the hedge. they will add to the
display

annual cosmos. hardy chrysanthemums and
other late boomers. In a crowded bed of this
sort good rich soil should frequently be applied
around the roots of the growing plants, liquid
manure given occasionally and plenty of water in
dry weather. Single beds Of perenniais too, are
effective and many bloom throughout the entire
season. Gallardias, delphnum phlox tho perennial
hybrid poppy and the giant sweet william all
make fine individual beds.
