VAMDUZER'S FREE
COINAGE BILL,

Some time ago the Republican press
Of the State was shouting for Sena
tor Newlands to prove his devotion to
silver by introducing a free coinage
ger has introduced one in the House.
This is just as good as if one had
been introduced in each of the houses,
because such a measure cannot pass
either without a considerable numb II
of Republican votes.
Now is a good time for the Repu5-
lican press Of Nevada which is sound
ing the praises of the 6. o. p. to show
its influence with that party by drum
ming up a few Republican votes for
VanDuzer's bill An overwhelming
majority Of the Democrats will vote
for it if they get a chance. But the
chance will net be given them. The
Republicans will smother the bill IN
committee, unless a few of them can
be won over by the tremendous in
fiuence of their party associates here.
We shall wait in breathless expect
ancy for some manifestation Of this
influence
Meanwhile we congratulate Van
on the introduction of his bill. He has
done all that he can do, but we have
the satisfaction of knowing that l. :
would have done more if the ReruA
licans would have let him.-Journal.

THE 1ROSPEcIOR.

or the prospector great deal has
been recently said in print Some in
sist that he is passing away, or has
already become thing CT the past
We do not believe a word of it. The
prospector, like the pioneer, is type
of Western CIVILIZATION which simply
moves back as permanent settlements
advance. The recent histories of To-
nopah and Alaska, Of Thunder Noun
tain and Of Goldfeld, indeed, of every
modern mining discovery show this
to be true. The cabin of the hardy
prospector is yet to be found in the
Tavines and gulches where the foot of
the engineer has never trod. He has
still the same enthusiasm as when he
or his father crossed the plains in '49
and as much patience and endurance
as history accords to the early gold
seekers.
Out in the wilderness his presence
until the great strike has been made
and then for the first time does his
name appear in print. Subsequently
he ont infrequently figures as rich
mining man and his opinion on mining
matters is received with great respect
even by those who think that what the
technical books do not teach about
mining is not worth knowing. Has the
prospectoir passed away? Not at all
He has perhaps become a trile more
shy of the world because Of the unfair
criticisms that have been recently
heaped on him. He saw the first CT
the rush for gold on the Pacific Coast,
and we have no doubt but he will
continue to exist SO long as there is au
acre of unexplored territory in the
mineral regions Of America-Pacific
Coast Miner.

}. II. YoUNe's PROMOTION.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT that J. II.
Young. general superintendent of
the Rio GraaGe Western. is to leave
salt Lake 70 take the position of gen
eral superintendent % the Colorado &
SoutherR. will bring pleasure and re-
grct to greae many people here,
pleasure that he is advancing in the
railroad world. and regret thai he is to
leave Salt Lake. His long service in
the railroad field has made innumer-
able friends FOR him. and his relations
with the public have been of a Kind to
make his departure a public loss. Few
men i'm the west have had more ex-
pcrsence in difficult railroad operating,
and none has ever won more thorough
~ the confidence OF his associates and
employees. Capable, energetic. just and
Straightforward, he bears 10 his new
position a record that any man might
well be proud Of.
To those of Us who have known him
personally for years, his departure is
a serious loss. His sound common
sense. his invariable courtesy. his gen.
ial good fellowship have won esteem
wherever he is known; and every one
OF those who know him will wish him
success and prosperity in his new and
larger field.

bad We associate the meleagris with

people who arc SO unfortunate as to be
living IN boarding houses viii be will

OUR GREAT couMTRY.

w HEN WE GET DISCOURAGED
F" because our men are not elected
and because the government isn't run
exactly to suit us. it is well 10 remem-
her that in spite Of everything this is
the greatest nation in he world. 0. p.
Austin, one Of the governments statis-
tieians, has compressed into few
words an admirable resume of the ma
Lions standing in the world. 1t is
worth printing and it is worth putting
2''ay where you can look at it once in
a while just to satisfy yourself. Mr..
Austin says:
Our area, including Alaska, is equal to
mat OF all Europe. Our total domestic
exports are practically one and onc-half
billions Of dollars and surDass those of
any other nation orr total money in
circulation IS more than two and Onc-half
Dlillons OF dollars and exceeds that Of any
inner country. Our total wealth is one
nundred billions OF dollars and exceeds
t3at OF tue United Kingdom aud Germany
combined. The gross value of our manu-
features is thirteen billions OF dollars Der
annum and equals those of the United
Kingdom. Germany and France combined.
our railroads are twO-fifths OF the entire
railway. systems OF The world. and our
production Of cotton. and corn and wheat
ana pig iron. and copper. and all the
chief articles which form the bulk of the
worlds international commerce exceeds
mat of any other nation
Every stateme made - Mr.. Austin
caa be verified from the recorGs by any
one who cares TO xamina them. Tn -
fore. let tho eagle bird scream this
Thanksgiving morning, and. il we have
no other reason for thankfulness, we
can ali be grateful for the fact that we
are alive and living in 50 great a land.

VOTING MACHINES SAVE.

QY THE USE Of voting machines in
~ forty precincts on election day
Vanderburg county, Indiana, saved So
$50 That is enough money to pay Tor
about five machines. The Evansville
Courier explains that the saving was
effected because fewer officials were
needed, rent and light bills were not so
high, and the hours of work of the Of
ficialS who were used were very much
shorter. their pay being proportionate-
" smaller. 1t is also fact that it was
not necescary TO have so many voting
precincts as under The old ballot sys-
ten.. Says the Courier.
Allowing FOR interest on the investment
of $4,000 for the purchase of the ma
chimes. it is evident 10y the saving alone in
time and number of precincts they will
prove a paying investment, to say moth
ing of the most important considerations,
the fact that no mans vote is lost, that
the Inspector no longer has the power TO
disfranchise man by putting doubtfully
marked ballots under the lamp" and the
speed with which the result is known 1t
is the general belief that even if the ma
chimes made the election cost moro than
the Old method. the advantages from their
GRAFTON Of cost. And as a matter OF fact
in economy as wen the advantages are
with the machine.
Here certainly Is q remarkably favor
able showing for the voting machine.
Is is coming into more general use ev-
cry year, and it seems destined to be
used more and more until the ballot
system will be as obsolete as the sys-
TEN of voting viva voce. Already in
the state Of New York machines have
been installed in one-fourth of the poll
ing places. The returns from these pre-
c'Rcts we've received within an hour
after the voting was finished. And be-
fore O'Clock on the night of the cleo
ton the country knew. thanks to those
New York machines. that Roosevelt
had been elected president.
The country knew this because the
carly returns showed concIusively that
Roosevelt had carried New York. and
it was known that, without New York.
Judge Parker could not be elected. The
question of installing voting machines
IN Salt Lake county is one that should
receive attention at an early date. The
tedious wait for returns from the last
election is still fresh in the minds of
the people. It might be good idea to
try few Of them at the next city
election.
