HOW DOC" GOT HIM
Vincent ST. John Gets Quiet After the
Guns are on Him

Doc O'Tool pulled down first prize
Friday night Of all arrests that have
been made since Constable Claude
lnman began his crusade against the
gun men of Goldfield. Q'Toole vas
standing on the corner watching like
an eagle for whoever he might see
with an excess weight OF artillery in
evidence, when he saw a man coming
toward him with the handle of a forty
five shotgun poking through his vest.
O'Tool stepped up, tapped him on the
shoulder, saying, You are under
arrest" The mans hand quickly
dropped for his gun, but like a streah
of lightning O'roole pulled two forty
fives. Much to his amazement the
notorious bad man found himself
looking at his reflection in the bar
! rels, which appeared like cannon. ?
: On recovering his amazement, the
man said: Why, In Vincent st.
| John. O'TOol said: Il don't give a
, damn who you are; you go to jail"
! SO the man who name has been
! spoken in whispers ever since the ap-
! pearance OF the special newspaper in.
dictment story, and on whose arrest
/ bets were placed at two to one in his
/ favor, proved as gentle as a lamb
when apprehended in the right man
uer.
Late in the evening Judge Solomon
allowed St. John his liberty on the
promise that he would carry nothing
more dangerous than stickpin and
penknlfe, not even allowing him IA
stick OF dynamite in his pistol pocket.

DANGER AHEAD
Nevada State Likely to Secure an Ex-

Under the above caDtians the Wat

lowing:
The nervy and irrepressible John
G.. WhtsOn has been heard from

vada State where he has hyptOnizeG
the Nevada Commercial League into
endorsing his candidacy for the pc
sition OF Publicity Commissioner
against that of the veteran Journalists,
Sam 2. Davis.
This is the same John G. Whitson
that once managed the affairs of the
WatsOnville Gas Co. very unsuccess-
fully and afterwards conducted a large
retail grocery store in San Francisco
along similar lines. He was about
the most vain and egOtiStical hot air
speiler that ever visited WatsOnvllle.
If Governor Sparks or Sam Davis
desire to be put wise on Whitson
they should send for that gentleman S
Nemises, E. 7. Cheftins. Whitson re-
! spects Cheffins similarly to the way
i which the devil likes holy water.
The above will give Nevada people
some inkling OF what sort of a u" son

Wizard, who is employed at the

crossing the river when he Slipped

Camnaign Money in 1904.

The New York World, with an jmpoS-
ing array of figures reopens discussion
of the republican campaign fund of 1904
Mr. Hartman figures prominently III the
story. and the sums placed opposite the
names OF rich New Workers are large. G.
y Bliss treasurer of the republican ma
tional committee, ,nfuses details. but says
that the story is fun Of misstatements.
while Senator Depew. who is supposed to
possess information, turns all questions
aside with the observation that ancient
history is not interesting.
1t is probable that both sides raised
goodly sums in New York that year. Mr..
R0OscveltS interests were In capable
hands while Judge Parker's were in the
hands of the men who had made him.
Mr. Ryan and Mr. Belmont were not of
the sort to let the candidate they had
nominated go begging. But details as to
either fund are not possible, Those with
the information will not disclose it. and
mere guesswork may he expected to take
the form desired by those who use it.
II is idle, however. to assert that Mr..
Roosrvelt's election was bought. The pub
lie knows better than that II ever can
didate won on his merits appraised by
men with ballots IN their hands the re-
pGDItdI ClItludlc Oh IFbt Uiu. Ills pOpu-
larity at that time swept everything before
it All the money of the Rothschilds could
not have stayed the tide.
MI Dcpew says hat rich men as indi-
viduais have always contributed to cam
paign funds, and always will. That is
true. 1t is crcditahle. too, TO our affairs
that but few Instances have appeared where
an attempted purchase of place was
charged. In 1893 Mr.. Cleveland wanted to
send James J. Van Allen. a New Yorker
of fashion. as minister to Italy. Van Allen
as the story went, had contributed $50 900
TO the democratic campaign fund, and Mr.
Whitney had prom,9ed him recognition"
But Van Allen wilted under the denuncia-
ton of the transaction, which the World
led. Both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Whitney
urged, but Van Allen could not stand the
gafr.
James HaZen Hyde never had the ghost
OF a chance to go as ambassador to France
II anybody separated the fair Jimmie from
his coin upon that assurance In 1904 he
perpetrated a cruel Joke. Mr.. Roosevelt
had he been disposed. could not have made
tender of such a place to such man
without mourning deserved ridicule and re-
proach. and the Senate would never have
confirmed SO unfit nomination.

big Tim" as Warwick.

Far and away the most interesting po-
litiCal development of the day is the ap-
pearance in the national field of Big Tim
Sullivan. Whether he is there by choice. or
has been dragged in by "jolliers," is a
question. There is something to support
the latter suggestion in the fact that only
recently Big Tim retired from Congress
of his own motion and took UP. again the
more COngenial duties of New York ward
boss. While not ornamental in any sense,
lie is shrewd man after his kind. and was
not slow in discovering that playing legis-
lator on a national scale was not his long
suit. Hence his speedy goou-bye to Wash
ington, and his return to the boys of the
BOwery. Even water knows, and seeks, its
level
But before matters are any older there
should be agreement as to where big
Tim" is at Big as he is, he is not big
enough to be on two sides at once. The
Bryantes are claiming him, and even pro-
posing him for campaign manager next
year. He is booked by them for the shoes
of Tom Taggart. and the prediction is made
that with him in charge the campaign will
not lack for ''scads. nor the "scads' for
profitable investment. Sullivan and Sue
cess is the slogan of the de mocracy for the
year of grace 1908.
4 later claim is that of the Chanlerites
Reference is to a corporars guard of New
Workers who amusing themselves and
the public with the name and at the eX-
pense OF the lieutenant governor of that
state. They assert that Big Tim Is for
their man. and is now at work for him
work meaning the quiZZng Of chance ac-
quaintances made in railroad trains and on
ferryboats and in hotel Hobbies as to presi-
Dental quantities and preferences. They
laugh at the Bryanites, and claim Big Tim"
for their own.
However this matter may be, there is a
point in the case which Wall street, If it
really wants to break up the connection be-
tween Tammany Hail and the south by in
duCiug the south to insist next year upon
man of her own for leadership, might seize.
Let the Ryan and the Belmont people send
Big Tim on tour through the south, and
a long step will be taken toward cooling the
sOuth's ardor for her eastern allies. big
Tim" and Murphy travelling together would
probably do the business. The south meets
her northern allies only at national conyen-
tons, where everything is awhirl and every
body excited. Good Judgment Is difficult at
such times. \ close view at time of tran
qulllity would enable her to take a more
correct measure of eX-barkeepers mas
querading as statesmen and as saviors of
society and the country.
