The Independent says editorailly:
From the interview published else
where, it will be seen that Judge A. l..
Fitzgerald is candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed Stewart. The
Judge is too well known to the people
of Nevada to need any introduction.
He has lived i'll the State so long that he
is a part and parcel of it and is so thor.
oughly identified with its interests that
his candidacy is sure to meet with a
hearty and generous support.
His record as citizen and as an able
lawyer won the admiration of his fellow
citizens and placed him upon the bench
of the State at time when his party
was in a hopeless minority. His record
there won him place ON the Supreme
Bench of the State. AS a citizen, advo-
cate and Judge he has never been found
wanting in any of the elements that
make an honest, upright man.
AS candidate for the United States
Senate he possesses ali the qualifications
necessary. He is clean, able and con.
scie entuous and the interests of Nevada
would be safe in his hands. He has a
deed and abiding faith in the justice of
the silver cause and honestly believes
that silver can be restored to it's proper
place among the money metals. His
views upon the silver question are brief.
ly set forth in the interview. He is
deeply in earnest on the question and
honestly believes that the fight for
silver can yet be won. If the people of
Nevada are as earnestly in favor of the
reconciliation of silver as Judge Ntz-
gerald is. they should unanimously
elect him to seat in the United States
Senate.
The Independent believes that Judge
Fitzgerald possesses all the qualifica
tions necessary to fill this exalted posi-
tion. His ability, integrity and consci'
entious discharge of every duty is 6
guarantee to the people that their trust
and confidence would not be betrayed
With him as the candidate of the Flu
sion forces. victory would be sure.

JUDGE A. L. FITZGERALD.
Candidate for United States Senator
Voices His Principles.

Supreme Judge A. l.. Fitzgerald while
in Elko last week made public announce
ment of his candidacy for United States
Senator to succeed Senator Stewart.
The reporter of the Elko Independent
sought the Judge in the matter and to
ascertain on what platform he intended
to go before the people of Nevada. The
following interview resulted
Reporter-Are you, Judge, a candi-
date for the United States Senate
Judge Fitzgerald-Yes,I am a candi-
date for thu position. Do you remem-
Der that during the last election in this
State there was published a letter to me
putting that question and my response
thereto?
Reporter-Yes, I recall that.
Judge Fitzgerald-Well, in that re-
sponse stated my candidacy, and also
that in due time would lay my princi-
pies before the people of Nevada, whose
suffrages would solicit. referred to
the book on the money question that
then had in mind. That has now been
published and is entitled "Ihe Thirty
Years War On Silver"
Reporter-Do you believe silver can
be restored?
Judge Ntzgerald-I have no doubt of
it, if the battle is fought properly.
Reporter-Can you state briefly the
mode of contest to which you refer?
Judge Fitzgerald think SO to some
extent. Thus: The battle should be
fought on scientific principles and con-
stitutional law. If the people of Ne
vada will elect me representative of
them to the United States Senate, /
will devote my entire time and efforts
to restore silver to its constitutional
money functions. will make the con.
test both by bill in Congress to repeal
the unconstitutional silver demonetiza-
ton enactments, not laws, and by suit
in the Supreme Court of the United
States to have the said silver demoneti-
zation enactments judicially declared
unconstitutional and therefore void.
This fight should be made; and if the
people will place me in the position,
where 1 can fight, will unfiinchingly
enter upon the contest.

To THB EDITOR OF THE SUs--sfr: see In your
paper OF to day, under title Truth the Need OF

Japanese are "notorously uutruthfu" past

Sum- where have lived for some years The only
dishonest Japanese l came In contact with were
those whom the foreigners themselves had con =
tamnated. In the wake OF Commodore Perry
came q rush OF Europeans and Americans to the
treaty ports OF the island empire. and with them
many undesirable characters. Before tho extra :
dt,on laws went into effect many sought the shores
of Japan as haven OF safety.
What was the RESULT They robbed and cheated
the Japanese who had no Idea OF Western business
methods In those days. and now the Oriental hav-
ing learned his lesson In the school OF so called
civilization, he has proved himself clever enough

Questionable business methods on the part OF
the Japanese are confined TO the treaty ports OF
yokohama, Kobe and Nagasaki. The great part
of the country lying inland which has been left
free from the poison OF Western invasion, still
remains In q state OF purity, commercially and
otherwise, and It would be well for some OF our
merchants and missionaries 10 emulate Its example.

In Gen. Kuropatkn the Russians possess a soldier
who knows how to retreat In the face OF the enemy

serious decentralization After all that Is the Russian
tradition. The men who Tetresied before Napoleon
In 1872 were always being beaten In the neld and
always falling back, and yet never suffered the sort

Agriculture in the City Of New York

The autumn harvest is now under way
successfully in the agricultural regions
of the cosmopolitan town OF New York.
The farmers of the outlying rural sec
tons of Queens, OF Staten Island and in
the Bronx Valley of Westchester are gath
ering their crops.
From one part Of Long Island comes
the bulletin that with the exception of
fruit, especially plums and peaches,
the returns are good. Market garden
ers have harvested abundant supplies
Of vegetables. There is a fine product
of potatoes, while caulihowers, always
favorite, have broken every previous
record. The late cabbage crop is turning
out satisfactorily. Cucumbers for table
use and for picking have been up to the
standard. The oat crop has been above
the average, and the corn is fair. Hay
was of good yield, and favorable weather
at the time Of its cutting secured it
in desirable shape. The cantaloupes,
squashes and pumpkins were more than
ordinarily abundant and good in quality,
and the tomato crop was never better
Bronx Valley beans, both lima and
string, rye and turnips are reported as
of good yield and as obtaining fair prices.
The farmers Of New York, an Industrious
element of the city's vast and varied
population, have no reason to complain
of the season Of 1904.

WELL FED JAP SOLDIERS.
Three Meals a Day ana Wine and Bee
In the Canteens

From a Toxic letter 10 The Cologne Gasetts,
the Japanese soldier eats three meals q
day, and his Wanted absteIniousness is a
legend. In former times he was satisfied
with little rice but now his appetite has
increased enormously. Ne rarely gets pre-.
pared rice; the custom IL to give him cooked
rice with decortcated grain which, by the
way. he likes less than pure rice, This
diet IL prescribed to increase his physical
strength, and to guard hiih against beri-
beri. At present tho Jap soldier is served
with fish and meat. For breakfast he has
boiled corn and rice, bean soup and pre-
served vegetables, For dinner he has fish,
meat, boiled rice and corn. and COOKED
vegetables. For supper the menu of tho
dinner Is repeated Consequently the Jap
soldier sleeps comfortably.
In addition to this, he has the privilege OF
white bread. which he calls pan. He hates
black bread, or Ruropdn. as he calls It, lie can

OdeH Right-Cortelyou Wrong!

Governor Chairman ODELL, in our
humble and modest judgment, is wholly
right, and National Chairman CoRTELYou.
by the same token, is utterly wrong, in
the advice and suggestions which both
have heaped upon the Governor-Chair-
mans candidate for Governor within the
last few days.
Governor Chairman ODELL, with a
sinuous wisdom born of rough expert
ence in the campaign of 1902 and since,
tells his candidate for Governor that he
must not and he shall not take the
stump in this campaign Mr.. CoRTEL-
YOU, on the other hand, informs Mr..
HIGGINS that he should not rest upon
the dignity which Mr. HIGGINS believes
should hedge in his candidacy, but that
he should get out in the open where the
folks can see him and talk with him like
a neighbor.
Governor Chairman ODELL, in the
campaign of 1902, began flexuous de-
fence of his participation in the profits
OF the grocery firm of MATHEWS & Co.
of Newburg which, under the Odell
grating system, was selling groceries
to the charitable institutions of the
State. Governor Chairman ODELL FUN
bled and stumbled, declaring one day that
he had no connection with MATHEWS Il
Co., pointing out on the next that he had
only loaned money to the concern; and
finally, when confronted with the fact
that, while Governor of the State, he was
a stakeholder of record in MATHEWS Il
Co., he became suddenly dumb as a cob
bestone; and we haven't heard from him
since, personally or officially, on the I'M
happy topic.
Governor-Chairman 0DELL, in fasten-
ing the muzzle to his candidate for Gov
ernor, infers rightly, in our opinion, that
the citizens OF the State would not hest
tate to ask the Hon. FRANK WAYLANp
HIGGINS how, as member Of the Canal
Board, he came to vote supinely on
July 30, 1908, that the State pay the once
rejected and thoroughly exposed claim
of Mr.. E. H. HARRIMAN's Furnaceville
Iron Company for $ls,els extra for al
legged rock excavation on a section of the
canal where there was no rock. II is
true that Mr.. HIGGINS might explain
his vote by insisting that Mr.. HARTMAN
