Direct Primary Law Wanted IN Nevada

Election is past. The successful a n

their success, and the public Is again az

flment Of the promises made to the
constituents Of all parties remains
Without this those who are in office
cannot hope to make good.
The vital issues before us to-day are
to be met as purely non-political, and
are OF the same Importance to all classes
no matter what the party utilization
may be. The whole Nation rings with
the demand that antitrust legislation
be passed. This is the great National
problem. The same problem in a diff
ferent form is commanding the atten-
tion in a majority Of the States under
the denomination Of what might be
termed .'anti- bossism." The National

most importance. and should receive
the first and most careful attention Of
those who have been chosen to enact
the will of the people into law.
There has been a direct primary law
of some kind enacted in each OF several
States. The demand for such a law is
a~svstrong in Nevada as in other States,
and we have a right to expect the pass
age of a law which will effectually put
an end to the present pernicious system
of choosing party candidates. The ac-
tive supporters Of this Measure should
lose no time in framing a bill equal at
least to the most effectual primary
election law now in force in many Of
the States, and prepare for the strug-
gle which is sure to come. The utmost
care must be exercised. not only in
drafting the bill, but also in defending

of this law will form a very profitable
field for investigation for those who are
to present this matter before our own

No doubt the enemies of primary re-
form will be prepared to introduce
many amendments which. il allowed to
pass. will totally or partially destroy
the effectiveness of the bill. Every n
of these must be subjected to the mos
rigid scrutiny and defeated if there is a
of doubt as to the probable
effect upon the ultimate successful
working of the law. The experience of
the other States should enable u
to avoid the mistakes which
have been made and to give us the best
law on the statute books of any State.
The friends of popular Government
should drop party lines and unite upon
a bill which will stand the tests for con
stitutionality and efficiency.

reasonably certain of recovery. Mrs.
Odett was attacked with heart disease
and her condition becams so alarming

When they arrived. she was apparently
lifeless, and as they were unable to de-
tect either pulse or respiration. they
pronounced life to be extinct. Half an
hour later she revived but was so weak
that a second attack of q similar nature
followed. She is still low. but is much
improved.

President Roosevelt's New Cabinet

Secretary of Commerce and Labor,
Oscar S. Straus.
Until recently Mr.. Bonaparte was a
pronounced Independent in politics,
and Mr.. Straus a representative Demo-
crat. Mr.. Shaw is an exponent of the
high protective tariff. His retirement
may also be significant Of what Presi-
dent Roosevelt expects to urge in his
message to the coming Congress. All
of these changes indicate that his pur-
pose is to ally himself with those out
side the Republican party who are in
sympathy with his efforts to bring
great aggregations Of capital under the
control of the Government and make
them subservient to the general well
fare.
Mr.. Straus is said to be the first
Hebrew to hold a position in the Cab
met of the United States. As Chair
man of the National Civic Federation
he has shown his sympathy with the
wage earners and has actively cooper
ated in the endeavor to secure har-
m%onious and friendly relations between
employers and employed. He has
secured high recognition in diplomatic
service between the United States
and China and Japan. and may be de-
pended upon to comprehend the de.
sires and rights of working men. and
to appreciate the needs of immigration
laws.

EXPLOITATION AND
MISREPRESENTATION

Another of the many nefarious
schemes which have done and are doing
so much to retard the wholesome sub
stantial development of Nevada was re-
ported in the 'Mining Expositor" re-
Gently. The organ Of the Ely Town
site Company" which is attempting to
boom a new townsito under the name
of "Ely City" published a statement 10
the effect that ia lots in the new town
site had peer sold for $IS2, $50 the
opening day of the sale, and that a big
rush for the lots was made by the bust
ness men of Ely. Investigation showed
that only four out Of 9S per cent OF
the business men of that town had made
purchases. The whole statement ap.
pears to have been but a deceitful adver-
Using scheme of which not only the
immediate vicinity but the whole State
must reap the direful results.
Such Misrepresentation have done
more to deter capital from being in
vested In the substantial wealth pro-
ducing districts of Nevada than all
other causes combined. and unless some
thing is done to prevent the making OF
such statements which are intended to
mislead, we shall fall far short Of what
may be accomplished by a fair statement
of fact.
Nevada has unlimited wealth, and
is attracting the attention of capitalists
everywhere. There is no need OF mis-
representation. If it can be shown
that our claims are reliable, and can be
depended upon, the next few years will
bring to us all the capital necessary to
develop our mines, and Nevada will
stand in the first rank on the stock
markets of the world. Such schemes
as that noted above are reprehensible,
and merit only the strongest condem-
nation by those who are really interest
ed in seeing this State furthered. Fair
statements which can be relied upon
will bring us friends, while those made
by the promoters Of this scheme can
only bring us into disrepute.

Refuses High Priced Silver

A Washington dispatch says the
Treasury Department last Monday re-
ceived offers for the sale of silver to the
Government at 70 cents per fine ounce.
These offers were rejected. and Secre-
tary Shaw stated subsequently, that no
more silver would be bought at the
present high prices. The Government
has on hand. he said, silver enough to
keep the minis in operation for some
time to come. and he regards the pres
ent prices as too high to warrant the
Government in making any more pur.
chases at those prices.

managers. who put the funds in their
pockets and kept it there. He does not
name the men.
The Tonopah and Goldfeld districts
went overwhelmingly for the Demo-
cratic ticket. and Booth says this was
due to dishonesty and treachery.
