II. Moore has declared himself opposed
to the general enforcement of the citys
Sunday closing law. which provides

Without considering the merits of any

TO state that the entire district became

kets for them were never better; the
money is in this country and the crisis
through which we are passing is not the
result of crippled resources. The big men,
the big financial interests of the country
began more than a year ago to bring
about the prevailing conditions; they be
gan selling everything they had and kept
on selling after they had nothing left to
deliver. The result is apparent-they

Vast Demand for Copper.
Il can see nothing but a tremendously
increased use for copper. Within the past
couple of years / have talked with nearly
all OF the great railroad men of the coun-

the day is close at hand when every i'm

must be electrically equipped. Think of
the amount of copper that is going to be
required in lacing and interlacing this
country with wire over which to distrib-
ute the electrical energy that these
changes Will require. Think of the
amount of the metal that will be required
in the construction and equipment Of the
mammoth power stations that will need
TO be built on the great rivers of the cotIn-
try to supply this need. That is an ac-
tual need, as evidenced in the trend of leg
lslatlon which is having for an object the

Reply of Roosevelt.

1.-The White House, Washington,
Dec. Is, 1907.
Hon. John Sparks. Governor, Carson
City, Nevada.
1t in effect declares that you have failed
TO call legislature together because in
your judgment, the legislature would not
call upon the government of the United
States for the use of troops, although in
your opinion it ought to do so. The con-
stitutiOn of the United States imposes,
not upon you, but upon the legislature, II
fl can be convened, the duty Of calling
upon the government of the United
States to protect the state of Nevada
against violence. You now request me
10 use the armed forces of the United
States in violation of the constitution be-
cause in your Judgment the legislature
would fail to perform its duty under the
constitution. The state government GER
tainly does not appear to have made any
serious effort to do its duty by the eff
fective enforcement OF its police func-
tons. 1 repeat again what have already
said TO you several times, that under the
circumstances now existing in the state
of Nevada as made known to me, an ap-
plication from the legislature is an essen
ttal condition TO the indefinite continu-
ance of the troops at GOldfield.
State Should Do Its Duty.
Circumstances may change. and if
they do l will take whatever action the
needs of the situation require so far as
my constitutional powers permit. But
the first need is that the state authori-
ties should do their duty, and the first
step towards this is the assembling of the
legislature. 1t is apparent from your
telegram that the legislature OF Nevada
can readily be convened. You have fixed
the period of three weeks as the time
necessary to convene and organize a spe.
cial session. If within five days from
the receipt of this telegram you shall
have issued the necessary notice to con-
vene the legislature of Nevada, 1 shall
continue the station of the troops at
Goldfield during such period of three
weeks. IF within the term of five days
such notice has not been issued the troops
will be immediately returned to their for
mer station.
(Signed)

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING,

Corning Mirror: Courage is the master
Of achievement.
Rich Hill Enterprise: A good book
purifies at once our manners, our taste and
our morals.
Nashville Banner: Roosevelt's policies
all tend to give more power to the Federal
Government.
Chicago Tribune: You can never be
more than small man until you believe in
greatthings.
Howard Advertiser: The first thing too
many men consider is "Will it pay?''
rather than SIS it right?" Now, isn't that
the truth?
Chicago Tribune: The man who cannot
show his religion in his business has no
business with his religion.
Dixon Progress: 1t is a great deal bet
ter to let other people do your talking than
it is to let them do your thinking for you.
Florida Times Union: The man with
the most advice to give is generally the
one who has failed in every other under
taking.
Nashville American: The man who as
sunles that he knows all there is to know
about everything, and that nobody else
knows much about anything, is a nuisance
unless he keeps the opinion to himself.
Meridian Star: Democracy is the party
of the constitution; and whenever it loses
its anchorage in this firm foundation, it
will go the way of all the other illnesses
ing factions and with it will 60 the Repub-
lie of the fathers.
Philadelphia Ledger: That everybody
but an editor knows how to run newspa-
per is freely admitted; but that everybody
understands better than lawyer how to
conduct a murder trial is a new proposition,
and only partially established.
Philadelphia North American: The
ravages of alcohol, the poverty, misery and
crime that it causes, are absolutely appall-
ing. To check this scourge is task that
demands all the energies and resources oil
the thousands engaged in the fight.

There is peculiar pertinence and force
in the eloquent appeal, published in these
columns short time ago by a correspond
ent who signed himself can Indignant
American" to the lawyers of the country
to apply the remedy. The trouble lies not
so much in the inherent weakness of the
laws as in the legal machinery-mostly
"Judge made that has grown up around
the system of appeals, and in the gradual
lowering of the standards governing the
duty and responsibility of the members of
the legal profession.
In the gradual evolution of modern
criminal practice duty to the client has
wholly obscured the idea that an attorney
is also an officer of the court, and owes a
duty to it and to the public. And in the
implication of the process of appeals the
courts themselves have submitted to a
system that has reduced judicial functions
to travesty and thwarted the intentions
of the law. AS the legal profession is
primarily responsible for these conditions,
it is reasonable to look to it for the reforms
that have become imperative, unless we
are to relapse into barbarism and anarchy.
But if the seriousness of the situation is
not realized with the earnestness that leads
to action, if the initiative shall not be taken
by bar associations and the like, the cure
will sooner or later have to be applied from
| without.
