Our Oriental Possessions"
have gotten the G. o. P. in a
hole. The impractical ility of
a protective tariff on imports
from the islands is plainly
manifest and many of the re.
publican leaders recognize it.
Yet the term, "free trade"
CRATES so harshly on their ears
that they can't endure it, and
the fact that it is democratic
doctrine sets them wild when
they think of adopting it. But
they're coming to it grad.
ually. The members of the
Taft party are warming up to
it by announcing themselves
in favor of great reductions
in the tariff on sugar and to.
bacco and other articles" of
consumption and possibly
free trade on "other articles"
There isn't a man who has
studied the question whodoes
not know that absolute free
trade is one of the most es.
sential necessities to protect
the people against the rob-
berry of trusts in these times
of closely organized and CO.
operative trusts. 1t will not
solve the problem fully but it
will bring great relief. This
much is recognized by the
president and the better ell.
ement of Legislators in the
republican party and they
would put it into effect at an
early date if they were not
hampered by their party ira
ditions, the party lash and the
fear of estranging trust sup.
port in future campaigns.

HOW MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP GROWS.

! The census Office of the United States
undertook some time ago to investigate
the growth of the public ownership
idea as applied to the lighting systems
OF cities and towns, and to compare the
methods of the publicly and privately
owned plants.
The first thing the agents charged
with this investigation discovered was
that the managers of the privately own
ed plants were exceedingly loath to fur.
nish any information and rather inso-
lently defiant in their efforts to avoid
doing so.
The reluctance and the insolence were
alike natural
So great has been the spread of the
public ownership sentiment that the
Of private corporations realize
the fact that they are on trial for ex-
tortion, corruption and inefflciency.
They are as unwilling to give the facts
as felon in the dock Is to testify
against himself.
And for so long time have they, by
tteir persistent participation in par
tisan politics, been abb to rule mayors
and COUNCILS, commissions and legls-
latures that they doubtless feel it an i'm
pertinence for the mere agents of the
people, officials of the United States
government, to come prying into their
private affairs. longtime public in
difference has been the meat on which
these corporate Caesars have gro wn
thus masterful, and it is hafd for them
TO comprehend that the banquet Is no
longer for them.
When the statistics thus painfully
gathered from unwilling witnesses ale
codlfied they show the extravaganza of
private as compared with public owner.
ship, and the rapid multiplication of
munlcipally owned plants in the United
States.
That We are far behind European or
even South American cities in our mn.

In Buenos Ayres, or even in Tiflis.
New York's present situation would be

port of the United States census shows
how rapidly this situation is being cor.

matter of electric lighting plants alone.
there are to-day BIS owned and operated
by cities, as against only eS in 1889.
Since that year the increase in NUM-
clpal plants has proceed ed and shows
constant growing ratio.
An interesting fact in political his.

report, is that no city or town of the
United States has ever bad an oppor

snip without warmly approving it.
Chicago furnishes doubtless the most
shining example of the force of this
public sentiment, but scores OF cities
have had an opportunity to decide at
the polls the question of taking over
their gas or their water systems. Not
one has voted adversely.
We have no reason to believe that the
electorate of New York is SO far behind
that of other cities in recognition of it's
rights and needs as to vote wrongly on
this subject If it shall be- fairly present.

crushed and amputation was necessary.
The left arm was taken off from above

THE BOYS CLUB
A Worthy Object Should Be
Encouraged

Early last fall the boys of the High
School organized a club, Their idea was
to have place where they might meet
of evenings for debating. singing or
amusement. All winter they have met
regularly and have gained no small
Knowing that as the warm weather
Games on evenings indoors would be
much less pleasant, the boys decided not
long ago to fit up a tennis court for
their amusement in the spring and sum
mer. That, they found. would take
money. and in casting about for ways
and means, they decided to present a
play. For the past three weeks they
have been working earnestly and the re-
suit of their work will be seen Saturday
night.
The boys attempt is very iaudable for
two reasons: To secure a liking for and
appreciation of proper amusement is one
of the aims of education. Well conduct
ed athletic and debating clubs among
young people form one of the best
means to that emo. Moreover, the work
of memorizing parts and attempting to
portray character is mental training of
great value. 1t is too often neglected.
The boys should be successful. They
are striving by good means to attain
worthy end.

Bad Indians Of Nye

John l.. Considine, Warden of the
ing some San Francisco reporter lurid
tale about the bau Indians of Nye coun-
ty. Johnny was newspaper man him
self once and knows the kind of stories
they delight to send in. He Is quoted
saying:
Although there are federal and State
laws prohibiting the sale OF liquor 10
Indians, said Considine, for some
strange reason parts of Nye county are
not being properly protected against
this traffic. The Piutes seem to have
they want and of late they have been
going on big drunks and committing all
kinds of depredations. In consequence
many of Nevadas citizens have found
it necessary to take the law into their
own hands for self-protection, and
tragedies ensue which the outside word
never hears of.
only recently County Treasurer Gill
bert was corraled on the main street of
Belmont, the county seat, by drunken
Indian, and it was only Nilberts alert
saved his life. The Indians life was
sacrificed to the lawlessness of certain
white men who were cruel enough to
give the red man whiskey
Another affair that can be directly at
tributed to the unlawful sale of liquor
to Indians occurred lately near Kawicn.
John Doherty. consulting engineer of
the Kawich Mining Company, was trav-
cling from the company's mine to Gold
field one night, when a drunken Indian
held him up and compelled him to hand
over valise containing rich ore speci-
mems that Doherty intended to ship to
San Francisco to have made into quartz
jewelry. The specimens, worth several
hundred dollars. were afterward found
scattered along the desert All the In
dian desired was the valise, which took
his drunken fancy. After robbing
Doherty the Indian fired a shot at his
victim, but fortunately the bullet went
wide of it's intended mark and pierced
the top of the engineers buggy.
incidents like these are arousing
general indignation among the settlers.
