Tnt NtSI m CONGRESS.

| tore had OCCASION to note that IN
Congress the best friends of 'the
West" are not always to be found
among western Congressman.
The defeat, for the present, of all
legislation looking to the preser-
walton of the remainder of the
nations landed domain for the
use of actual settlers, and the
abandonment of that domain for
practically another year TO the
operations of the land pirates, is
an instance in point. That defeat
and abandonment has been
brought about wholly by the OPP
position of western Senators and
Representatives. To these the
Congressman from the eastern,
southern and middle States have
naturally deferred, as supposedly
standing for the welfare of the
people sending them to Washing
ton. In point of fact such men,
for example, as Hansbrough and
Warren in the Senate, and Need
ham, Mondell and Bede in the
House, have in their anxiety to
serve the land pirates betrayed
both their constituencies and the
nation at large. 1t would have
been we'll for the West had men
from other parts of the Union
been given more places on the
committees having the repeal bills
in charge, and if more such men
had taken a stand like that of
Representative Underwood of AL
ALBANIA, who, in voting in the If
rigation committee to report the
repeal of the desert land act to
the House, stated that "he did not
blame western congressman foT
opposing the repeal of the land
laws, since in every case they un
doubtedly had constituencies O.
interested in seeing the laws re-
f1atr hat fhnf he
must view the matter from what
he considered a broader stand
point; that the lands were a re-
source of the whole nation and
that his vote would be cast as rep
resenting the people of the East,
who in reality had as much own
ership in the public lands as had
the people of those States them
selves"
Had Mr.. Underwood said that
those western Congressman to
whom he referred had some con-
stituants" interested in seeing the
land laws remain as they are, in
stead of constituencies" he.would
have come nearer the truth. An
attitude like his should have been
that of every man in Congress
claiming to speak as Republican.
Every citizen of every State has
as much right to be considered in
the disposition OF the nations
lands as the richest land baron in
California, or the richest occupant
of fenced-up cattle range in
Wyoming. In this matter the in
terests of the vast majority of the
Minnesota are identical with those
of the people of the East" and
these interests have been wholly
ignored by the course of Congress
on the repeal bills.

6fO. S. NIXON.

upon george >. NIXON the CdnuI-
dacy of United States Senator to
succeed the Hon. VIM. NJ. Stew
art, who has stated that he will
not be candidate for reelection.
1t is our opinion that George S.
Nixon is made of the right kind
of stuff to make a good Senator.
The writer has been acquainted
with him for a number of years,
and knows that in all his dealings
with his fellow man he has been
Just, honest and upright.
Mr.. Nixon is a man of middle
age. He came to Nevada when a
mere boy, and we believe the first
sob" he struck was that of tele-
graph operator at small station
on the southern end of the Car
son & Colorado railroad. He per-
formed his duties well in that ca
pacity. The next that was heard
of him he held trusted position
in bank in Reno. There, also,
he performed his duty WE'LL and
when he chose to sever his con-
nection with that institution his
employers were 10th to part with
him. From Reno Mr. Nixon went
to Winnemucca where he pur-
chased the Silver State and for a
time conducted that journal. He
also established bank in that
town, which he now conducts, and
the town he has since made his
home.
During his residence in the
State he has from year to year
forged ahead; instead of being a
drone he has been a worker, a
promoter and a builder of the
country. While not rash specu-
lator he he has always given his
money a chance along lines of le-
gitimate enterprises, until he has
acquired sufficient of the worlds
goods to make him comfortably
we'll off, although he is a poor
man as wealth is computed by
wealthy men. What he has, has
been acquired in an honest, legiti-
mate way, and is clean money.
Mr.. Nixon is quite heavily in
terested in land in Humboldt
county, he is also heavily interest
ed in Tonopah mining property
and in a bank in that camp, and
in Carson. He is also interested
in building up the new town of
Sparks, in Washoe county. As
before stated, he is builder.
Mr.. Nixon has very pleasing
personality. None know him but
to like him, and the closer the ac-
quaintance the greater the friend
ship.
We think Mr.. Nixon in not a
native son of Nevada, but no ma
tive son has the States welfare
more at heart than he, nor are
there any who would more val
iently uphold her standard in the
upper House of Congress than he
He knows the States every need
and would make his demands in a
forcible, logical and courteous way
should he be chosen to the high
and honorable position to which
he aspires. He would be in touch
with the administration, for of
course Roosevelt will be the next
President, and this would be of
great advantage to out State.
The people would make no mis-
take in electing George Nixon U.

End of the Meat Strike.

The butcher workmen at Chicago lost
their strike weeks ago. That Is to say,
they lost the sympathy of the country then.
and from that day 1t has been but ques-
ton of time when they would have to yield.
They had arbitrated their differences with
the packers, but Immediately put an unfair
Interpretation on the terms agreed upon.
and went strike again. The packers
had agreed to take back the men as rapidly
as places Gould be found for them, but the
men presented themselves in a body and
II sisted that all should be provided for
at once. This, as the packers were able
to show. was not only not the agreement
but was impossible. At the end of two
months the men are obliged to confess
defeat, and to return to work on the terms
formerly rejected Meanwhile millions of
dollars have been lost by them in the way
of wages. other millions by the packers
in the way of arrested business. and the
public has been greatly Inconvenience.
Striking is usually a risky. and often a
losing, game for those who indulge in It.

1908.


This from Galveston is interesting, If
true:
Senator Bailey and Congressman Bur-
CESS, In recent addresses and interviews
have practically conceded the defeat OF
Parker and the election of Roosevelt In
closing an address at Brentwood last night
Senator Bailey made the significant state
ment that he was confident the democrats
would win In 1908. the reason being that
the people by that time would be disguised
with Roosevelt
THE Texas republicans construe this as
an admission that the democrats have be-
come discouraged. In an interview, Con-
gresham Burgess said:
Even though Parker will probably be
defeated the platform will be perpetu-
ated.'
Each of these men INDUCES in risky
statement. Take that of Mr.. Bailey. Why
should not Mr.. Roosevelt. IL elected in No
vember strive so to conduct affairs as to
make his party as strong in 1908 as 1t now
Is? And so striving why should he not
succeed? He has had considerable success
up to this time party leader and four
years more of practice should not dull his
edge. In some things he has been lkened
to Jackson. Now one of Jackson's most
notable performances was, after holding
his party together through long period of
storm and stress. handing over affairs at
the close of his service to a man of his
own political faith. Mr.. Roosevelt may try
to duplicate that. In fact, nothing is more
likely.
The prediction of AIr. Burgess is even
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-09-09

riskier. If the st. Louis platform Ii re-
jected. everything with the democracy will
go to the melting pot. THAI platform sat
isles nobody. The silence on the money
question, the shutting on the tariff ques-
ton. the unwise deliverance on the Philip
pine question, have all emphasized the d.
visions in the party. Then there is Mr..
Bryan's distinct threat OF pushing a plat
form which he outlines, and which Is very
unlike the instrument he reluctantly at
cepted at st. Louis. 1t is something on the
line of Mr.. Hearst's propaganda. and, as
far as 1t goes, thoroughly Watsonian. Not
improbably. we may witness a contest in
which Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Wat
son will battle for leadership and In which
the appeal will be made to those who today
compose the rank and file of the demo-
cratic party.
Guessing about 1908 Is within everybody's
province, but is full of peril 1t is far cry
in these times of experiment, and with one
of the great parties frankly admitting that
1t Is tired of being in the minority. Judge
Parker in defeat will bear no resemblance
and not two of the planks of the platform
upon which he is standing will. then hold
together. Both he and il are but expert
ments in the hands of men who have shown
the capacity and the willingness to make
lightning changes in the hunt for power.

Judge Parker and the Press.

Judge Parker's tribute to the press. ex-
pressed to his editorial visitors yesterday,
was cordial and of course sincere. 1t was
not his first He has given evidence of the
fact that he reads the newspapers. and now
and then guides by them. His main
strength in the east rests upon his gold
telegram. and that most distinctly was the
product of the New York Evening Post.
That robust journal, on the Friday after
noon before the telegram was written,
pointed out his duty IN the frankest way to
the candidate; and after sleeping over the
suggestion. and seeing it repeated by other
journals the next morning. he took the step
Indicated. In case of Judge Parker's cleo
tion, If he does not call the editor of the
Evening Post to a seat at the cabinet table.
or offer him choice of the diplomatic posts,
he will be both shortsighted and ungrateful.

The Horse and the Auto.

LII one may judge from the number M
morse shows, the patronage they enjoy. and
the newspaper space given to the horses.
the critics. the visitors. the gowns. the rigs
and the ribbons. the horse Is doing business
at the old stand, automobiles to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
1t may be urged that the horse is on,v
an excuse for horse show. and that he ia
but an incident of the thing rather than
the whole thing. 1t may be that the horse
is just a lay figure around which that
funny tumble of clothes and chatter called
society promenades. There is reason for
the suspicion that this is So because in the
reports of the proceedings of horse shows
there seems to be more about mousseline
de soire. crepe du chine. picture hats and
ciingfng gowns than. about names, tails.
hooks. hoofs. withers pastern joints and
the like. But that fashion uses the horse
as an excuse to show off new clothes is
evidence that the horse is still proper, 1t
shows that society thinks as much of the
horse as 1t does of the Sunday service

ostrich plumes, diamond stomachers and

Correspondents in the War.

The Russo-JapaneSe war, unlike some re-
cent wars. was not declared and is not
conducted by any newspaper or string of
newspapers. 1t is being fought by soldiers
and not by correspondents though the pho
tographer shows a commendable degree of
activity and enterprise. 1t Is a un-powder
and not red-ink war.
War correspondents who have wrought
bloody wonders on other fields and who
have guided armies to victory or saved
them from capture are now complaining
that there is "nothin' doin'" Russians
have never regarded newspaper men as
among the necessaries of life. and the Jap
anese have certainly circumscribeU the
privileges which correspondents have here
tofore enjoyed. Those who are with the
armies are not allowed to occupy exposed
and heroic positions on the firing line, but
are held In leash miles in the rear, where
the sound of guns tantalizes the ear. They
are not allowed to send out anything not
approved by a censor who Is unsympathetic
as an editor and not easily impressed by fine
writing. Many of the correspondents have
withdrawn from the field and abandoned
the armies to their fate.
1t Is a question whether too great restric-
ton has not been placed in this conflict on
ponds on the character of the correspondent.
Most of these men are able. honest and
trustworthy, but of course here and there
one breaks in who would kill an army to
get a sensation and who would betray con-
fidence to get a SCOOP" But these men are
rare and they do not last long in the bust
ness
A correspondent who sends to the New
York Herald a eraphic account of the ba n 10
of Liaoyang prefaces his dispatch. which he
sends from Shanghaikwan, with this para
graph:
II have just made seventy miles on horse
back through a heavy Storm passed sixteen
hours in Chinese open boat and walked
twenty miles to send you the story of the
great nine days battle ending in the cap
ture of Liaoyang by the Japanese. Hitherto
1T has been impossible because of the child
ish censorate restrictions and the final with
holding of all correspondents messages on
a fimSy Subterfuge.''

that the automobile has driven more men

shows how unreliable prophecies are. They

AT first 1t was only the ordinary meniaa

Fruits of the better regulation of the
Fourth of July the country over appear in
the record of deaths from tetanus caused
from wounds inflicted on tina. day. Up to
date there have been 10j deaths, against
AIS persons killed through the toy pistol last
year. This is a great gain, but still the
hideous record Is too great. Of course.
every one of these lives was needless loss.
The outlawing of the toy pistol should be
universal. but waiting that the parent who
