PITTMAN
SUGGESTS
A Remedy for the Pres
ent Financial
Situation

Key Pittman, the Tonopah attorney
has subml. ed the following plan to
the state authorities for the handling
OF the present financial difficulties
which beset the state through the
closin. of the banks
Have the State Bank Examiner
make careful examination OF each
Of the branches of the banks that
have suspended, and prepare a tab
ulated statement OF the amount OF
each loan and the particular stocks
which secure said loan. This will
require about ninety days, during
which period the various securities,
which ae nearly all mining stocks,
will be held closely in said banks
At ,.4e end of sixty or ninety d<ys
have the Attorney General apply to
the proper court for the appointment
Of a receiver said banks. One man
should be appointed receiver for all
Of said banks for the following rea-
son. He would then have in his pos
session all of the stocks and secur-
tiles Of each Of said banks and could
sell and dispose Of such of said Sc
curities as there was a demand for
on the market, and could SO manage
said selling as to obtain the very
highest prices for such securities and
not demoralize the market thereby,
IL other words, the stock held in
these banks, which constitutes a
large proportion OF the stocks OF min
ing companies OF this State, would
be held in the same manner as
though they were held in a firm and
we'll controlled pool.
The result would be that the
price of stocks on the market would
increase by reason of such stocks
in the banks being held off OF the
market. The brokers who have been
selling short" would have to cover
and that would also tend to increase
the value of such securities. In the
end all of the stocks would have
been disposed of at the highest
market price; the debtors would be
uninjured; and the depositors would
receive the full amount of their de
posits. Not alone would the de-
pisitors by receiving the Iull amount
of their deposits, but most of them
having money in the bank, have thei1
mining stocks in their own possession
and these they would sci! on
market which would be raised by
holding the bank collateral intact.
IF this plan in pursued what az
peared to be a great calamity vii
in reality be the saving financially O
the whole state Had such bank
remained open it must have been b.
sacrincing the collaterals in thei
possession, which were largely min
ing stocks. Such sacrifice would no
only have ruined the debtor. bu
would absolutely have destroyed tlr
market and thereby ruined the m5
1critr of the citizens of our state.

announced that confidence will almo5

GOES TO PANAMA.

From the Gadsden Times-News.
 Walter s. Standifer. one of the most prominent men of Gadsden, has received from Joseph Bucklin Bishop, secretary of the isthmian canal commission at Washington, an appointment in the pay department of the Panama canal project at a salary of 5000 a year.
 MT. Standifer will sail from New York on the steamer Colon for Panama on May 25, his duties beginning on that date The position is considered one of the most desirable offered by the govern ment. The salary is away above the av- craze and the work will not entail any great risks as to health and comfort
 MT. Standifer's good fortune will be bit of good news to his hundreds of friends in Gadsden. He was born in Cherokee, but was reared here, where his family always held commanding posi- ton in both the social and business world. He was twice postmaster of this city and has held many positions of trust.
 There is not cleverer or more ac- commodating man in the world than Wal ter Standifer and the Panama canal will not be served by a more faithful official than he.

About chert Pavements.

'I am very much surprised at the man ner in which much of the chert pave ment is put down here" remarked man who has had quite a good deal to do with paving. "Of course, when it is put down 1t makes good pavement for several months, but as rule by the end of that time small ditches have developed all along and the dust is so thick one can hardly breathe when passing along these streets.
 The cause for this condition Is the manner in which the pavement is put down. A layer of slag is put down, which as a rule is not over three or four inches thick. Then a thin layer of chert about two or three inches thick is laid on top of 1t. This generally finishes the road-builder's work The street is lett with the loose chert, sometimes in large Jumps, for the vehicles to pack down. Rarely is roller run over it.
 "Thls pavement should be laid so as to slope on each side, making the mid dle of the road the highest part. A layer of slag at least eight or ten inches thick should be put down and should then be thoroughly wet. A layer of chert about six inches thick should be laid on this after having been broken up good, and should be laid while the slag is wet. Then 1t should be rolled. Not two or three times, but at least fifteen or twenty times, and while being rolled the chert should be wet thoroughly.
 "When chert Is laid in this manner it makes a pavement which is as smooth as asphalt and at the same tlme the easiest pavement on stock obtainable and also makes d pavement which will last for years and be very free from dust The shape and smoothness combined pre- vent the water from gathering in small streams and making ditehes, but makes 1t spread out and run to the curb in sheet''

Control of CornorAtinns

The New York Times, a conserva- tive newspaper, says it certainly is time that the control of states by corporations should cease, and the control by the state of corporations created by it should begin. This no doubt is the sentiment of the rich and populous state of New York. Since the toned, to use the trenchant words of Roscoe Conkling, to send Chauncey Depew to Albany each winter to say Gee" Flaw" to his cattle the state has been afflicted with lobbies and dictators. Gov. Hughes public utilities bill puts an end to all gee-haw orders, always provided it be executed Up to it's letter and spirit.
 Ten commissioners are to be ap- pointed by Gov. Hughes. Each of them will draw a salary of &5,000. The size of the salary shows what kind of men are wanted. Ten men are needed that no one can say gee-haw to. There is no fear in New York that Gov. Hughes will appoint unworthy men, but there is a fear that some of his successors will appoint men of the machine or demagogues to interpret the terms of the bill. The people dread the future, not the present.
 Upon the operation of the bill will depend Gov Hughes claims to wider public favor. No more important bill has been passed by an American leg islature. It covers all public service corporations in the greatest state in the country. It pushes the principle of corporation regulation to the limit. It is a law that is even more lad vanced" than the Armstrong insurance bill. But the test of use is to come, and this test and it's fruits will be close ly watched in every other state. Doubt less Gov Hughes will try to secure in- corruptible men, and doubtless too he will not, if any of them fall down, hesi- tate to file charges against them as preliminary step to their removal. Gov. Hughes is the state in this matter.

Mr. MansfleId's Goodbye

1 Before MT. Mansfield sailed away in the hope of restoring his seeming. ly shattered nerves to their custom aIy strength, he left behind a mes sage which contains a touch of the pathetic He loves America, but be- fore he saw America he was an Eng lishman-"an English public school boy" to use his own words. Now that he is i'll and tired he longs to be home again. There we have it again. A man in full strength goes forth praying the world, but when strength fails his thoughts turn towards his old home.
 MT. Mansfield will rest an entire year, and then if he can recover his nervous powers he will return 10 the stage. But never again will scenery or reeharsals concern him any more. He hopes to come back to play his part for certain sum. Richard Mans- field, the manager thus bids farewel! to the stage, but all who find in good acting relief and comfort and even tonic will be glad to take back Rich ard Mansfield simply as an acting star Such acting as MT Mansfield does is quite enough of task for one man. Let other and duller brains care for the details of management. All the land will welcome back the player grateful to get even that much while remembering all the sacrifices he made while he combined to the detriment of his nerves the tasks of star and ma,.- ager. Few men have nerves strong enough to withstand the double bur dan

Sons of Martha

Rudyard Kipling has written poem that must be called great simply be- cause no one knows what it means. That is what makes Browning great, and why may it not lift Kipling up to the Immortals? What boosts the one shouldi boost the other if Pantheons are just and impartial.
 The poem in question is based on fragmentary account of bit of hos pitality told by Saint Luke. Jesus came a guest to the house of Mary and Martha. Mary did the parlor bonors, while Martha staid in the kitchen. At length Martha became discontented, and when she asked Jesus if he did not think Mary should help her. He said: Martha, Martha, many things. But one thing is need full, and Mary hath chosen that good part"
 The account in Luke is far too frag- mentary to admit of a clear concep- tion of the philosophy of Christ. Kip ling carries the impression that some are born to work and some are not, and worst of all he does not let us hn iY,ly ,. scheme Is good or bad. It is the old issue of labor and capital revived. It is an old controversy In new form. The poet tells us the sons of Mary, Cast their burden upon the Lord, Ard the Lord he puts it on Martha's
 sons."
 One trouble consists in distinguish ing in these days the sons of Mary from the sons of Martha. The latter are cutting down the hours of labor and are getting into the saddle. The walking delegate certainly is not over worked. In this land of the free and the brave a man oftentimes has to serve as a son of Martha before he becomes a son of Mary, and thus the problem becomes hopelessly entangled. In such a case a son of Mary Is also a son of Martha. and this is contrary to all ethical rules.
 But the poets motive as well as his interpretation of St. Luke are obscure, and that of course places him on the

 As a matter of fact. the Constitution of the United States guarantees to every man equal rights. No man nor set of men has right to take advantage of an- other. Every man has right to join with his fellow man to right a supposed wrong, but no man nor set of men has right to resort to violence nor intimlda- ton to prevent another man from doing his duty as he conceives 1t or from earn ing a living by honest labor. The pres ident of the street railway company has full right to employ men as individuals and to refuse to recognize any organiza- ton. Likewise men of organization of labor unions, or any other body corporate or otherwise have full right to refuse to work for such a concern, but they have no right to belittle their fellow man for working for living wages.

Summinu Up a Years Work

The retiring address of President Jemison and the report presented by Secretary Babb each contains abund- ant evidence that this city and the rest of Jones valley have never known more prosperous year. We built in the year more houses, organized more corporations, made more iron, dug improvements, transferred more real estate, cleared more money, and con sumed more postoffice stamps, than ever before in single year.
 In only one respect did we lose ground. The car service association re- ports that 744,54S cars were handled in 1906, as against 753,107 in 1905. Here is an apparent loss in tonnage. but this loss Is due to the car short age which was severely felt throughout the entire year. Possibly the tonnage was maintained, for the cars that were procured were heavily loaded.
 Mr. Jemison's statement of work done by the club during his presidency makes plain the fact that it was in his hands an active and effective or ganiaztion for the common good. It is a splendid although compact story of achievements. Battle after battle was fought, and some of them were ex- ceedingly sternuous, notable the one foYa sub-treasury, which is to be fought over by President Sterling A. Wood.
 At the outset of his term MT. Wood urges the people to build a home for the Commercial club, and to provide the people with public library. If in addition to the work that will come to his hand during the year he can ,inaugurate these two desirable enter ,prises, he will indeed be able to turn over the task to a successor with a feeling that he had not striven in vain.

LATTER-DAY JUNGLE ToM.v

From the New York World.
 The first version of Uncle Toms Capln," as play was produced at the old National theatre, Chatham and Roosevelt streets, New York. in 1852. If was prompt failure. The second yer slon hadlts first New York performance at the same theatre the next year, after an introduction at Troy, and has been running in "the provinces" with infre- quent metropolitan revivals ever since. A third version opens a season at the Ma 1estic theatre tonight.
 At the new rendering of the old play neither bloodhounds nor the donkey of Marks the lawyer will assist. There will be no auction-block for slaves and no river of rocking ice for Eliza to cross in her perilous escape. Will the whip of Legree be forbidden to lend it's snap to the performance? And shall there be programme request that ladies in the au- dience omit real tears at the death of little Eva? The advance notices do not tell. Yet when once we begin to destroy traditions of the drama, where and why shall we stop?
 Greene c. Germon was the Uncle Tom of 1853. George L. Fox and Charles Kem- ble Fox were in the cast. Mrs. W. c. Jones was the Eliza. W. J. Le Moyne appeared early as Deacon Perry and MT. Wilson. John Gilbert was the Uncle Tom of the Philadelphia production later on and Joseph Jefferson was the Gumption Cute. In a New York revival of the play the year before it's semi-centennial Wilton Laclxaye played the part of Uncle Tom, Theodore Roberts was Legree, Maud Raymond was Topsy, Mrs. Yeamans im- personated Aunt Ophelia and Mabel Am Der appeared as Eliza Harris. This was at the Academy of Music.
 Uncle Toms Cabin" has drawn more money from the public than any other American play, although Mrs. Stowe re- ceived not dollar for the stage use of her story. But will the American public continue to spend it's money on an ''Un- cle Toms Cabin" that has neither blood hounds, donkeys nor an Ohio river filled with ice?

 He cannot change it because there rises up before every eye the figure of a faithful wife and devoted mother, one who served Corey in every pos ,sipIe capacity when he was earning s5O month. That figure stands for the

PLAYING IT SMALL.

From the New York Mail
 There is a story told of suitor with those proclivities which in country neigh borhoods earn man the epithet of near who took his sweetheart in a lv- cry rig to a picnic, and himself contrib uted pie to the dinner, which it is rural custom that the girl should provide. On their return he said: Dearest, I'll say nothing about the pie" He was type of the man, the exceptional man, who in his relations with the other sex is not guided by that large magnanimity, that carelessness as to detail that willingness to make sacrifice to gallantry, which is the accepted masculine tradition.
 The species has just enough examples to emphasize the stability of the tradi- ton. Now and again rejected suitor wants dem presents back and sues for the gewgaws which the perfidious fair one would retain as salvage from the wreck of courtship. Or a country swain pre- sents an itemized bill for expenses in- cured in fruitless quest to win favor in his lady's eyes, Or tilted lover asks damages for breach of promise. Or credulous fortune hunter, beaten at his own game. moves through the courts to terminate the activities of a Hove syndi- cate whose members have mulcted him for diamond lockets. Or a "sociologist' charges that his pockets have been picked by female chance acquaintance.
 None of these reprisals against women is approved by the masculine man. His revenges are elemental. It is permitted him to divorce a woman if his grievance is good one; and under 'the unwrit- ten law he assumes the right to slaughter her. if he deems he has provo cation. But he must not resent 1t if a woman horsewhips him on the street; he must foot the bills without complaint. He must endure nagging and petulance. but he must himself be neither nagging nor peturlant. The policy of pin-pricks for woman; for man, the big stick.
