GOLFERS WEEKLY AGAIN.

Golfers Weekly has been worry
ing again about the future of Ne
yada. 1t would like to see us hitched
up to Arizona or butchered to make
a Mormon holiday by anneXing one
piece of us to Utah and another piece
to California. Even at that it is moi
sure that we would be much good.
We are free to confess that Col
lier's Weekly makes us weary
makes us tired until we ache all over
not the least of which aches is in the
toe of our right boot.

ed young lobster, named Hapgood
who evidently is not aware that he
is crustacean, or that he would be
more seryiceable la Mayonnaise, OIL
a la Newberg than as writer of edi-
torials for a presumably great week
ly.
He is very young. and the great
trouble is that he does not, with adj
vancing years. seem to be getting
over it. He thinks that he has con.
tract on hand to reform the world
and he starts in with the most sparse
ly inhabited part of what is lying
around handy. He begun with Ne
is apparently possessed of belief
that he will make Methusalah asham-
ed of himself when it comes to reg
istering birthdays, and that if he
spends forty or fifty years on Ne
vada he will have time enough re-
naming to devote to curing the ills
of the rest of this wicked world.
He seems to have overlooked the
fact that he has a fruitful field at
home-that he dwells in the rotten
est. most corrupt, most morally de-
generate, most financially unreliable
most God-abandoned, mammon-rid-
rem, shame-forsaken home of prosti-
tutes. den of thieves, refuge of graft

ELY'S BUSINESS FUTURE.

There is no better index of the
view that is taken of Ely and the OPP
portunities for investment here, and
of the business future of the district
than is given by the purchase few
days of the stock exchange corner by
a woman who came across the seas
and third of the way across the
continent for the purpose of making
an investment in Ely real estate.
When one leaves Honolulu, crosses
the Pacific ocean, escapes the realty
agents and boomers of San Francisco
and the other coast cities, and finally
arrives here with her determination
TO investigate fairly and impartially
into local business conditions, and
then after such investigation pur
chases gilt edged business propert!
merely for an investment, it certainl!
speaks well of the camp and of the
opinion in which its business future
is held by the people outside.

THE REVOLT OF THE
PHOTOGRAPHERS

Any book of industrial etiquette
will tell you that it is not good
form to go out on strike. The strike
is the most wasteful method of set
Ting industrial troubles, and like
other warfare is justifiable only as
a last resort against tyrants. Judged
by this standard, the recent revolt OF
the telegraphers does not merit UNI
qualified endorsement. 1t was pre-
mature, sporadic not absolutely the
last resort. 1t plunged the country
into expense and inconvenience with
out first exhausting all other re-
sources. BY its hasty action the Tel
egraphers' union endangered the
chance of righting the grievances oil
the operators.
This was unfortunate because the
grievances of the operators were
many and great. The telegraph com
panies were as tyrannical and AFRO
CANT in their treatment of their EN-
ployes as they have always been il

perfect monopoly in so far as wage!
and rates are concerned, the two
companies forced down one while
| they raised the other, kept one hant
upon the throat of the telegrapher:
and with the other maintained {
strange hold upon the public. They
arrogantly refused to treat with theil
employees, did not recognize the unior
which the telegraphers had formed
for their own protection, and ever
refused to admit the existence of ;
strike.
The lot of these useful public ser
wants is not an enviable one. TIL,

of living. salaries have declined, tn,
hours are long, the work nerve
racking, the chances of promotion
small. Women are being put in tn,
places of men and are paid less TO

those who would justify their own
failure to grasp opportunity as she
passes feetingly, and it is barely
possible that the gentleman who is so
fully quoted is of this class.
If Mr.. Pardee were to come to Ely
he would see things in a different
light. perhaps. Here he would see
no idle men, save the few worthless
ones who are idle from choice. Here
he would see advertisements posted
in the windows of cafes and hotels,
and in all public places, asking for
first class workmen to apply at once
TO the mines of the district for steady
work at good wages.
Here he would learn, if he were to
investigate carefully that there is
more than a million dollars on de-
post in the local banks, largely the
savings of the workingmen. He
would learn that food in abundance
can be had at prices that can be COM
pared favorably with those charged
in Salt Lake and Ogden. He would
not find men going hungry, and he
would see but few who sleep in sa-
looms and in the dark corners behind
gambling houses.
In this district he would find busy
workingmen, contented families, ire
mendous development works in prog
ress and general prosperity and con-
tent.
Either Mr. Pardee's view has been
circumscribed by personal prejudice,
or he has spoken without giving
careful consideration to the subject
in hand.
At any rate, an injustice has been
done to this state, and if Mr.. Pardee
is of fair mind he may admit that
he has spoken hastily.

A LONESOME EXPOSITION.

Doubtless a number of very pleas
ant things might be said about the
jamestown exposition. 1t were
strange, indeed, if each succeeding
exposition of this sort did not con-
tain a number of new and interest
ing features rejecting the progress of
art and science. But judged by the
standard set by the big American
fairs, the Virginia show is a failure
The people have not attended it in
large numbers; it is doubtful whether
they will do so during the fall
months. Among those who did go we
find remarkable absence of enthu-
siasm. For one thing, the manage
ment was slow in finishing the build
ings and exhibits. One does not,
without protest, spend ones railway
fare to look at scaffoldings and to
listen to the Industrial but unmusi-
cal sound of hammers Besides. con-
ditions have so changed in the last
three hundred years that jamestown
is no longer the center of America S
population Then, again. with all due
respect to the early Virginians it was
thoughtless of them TO settle in a
country which gets so warm in the
summer time. The Pilgrims were
much more farsighted in this respect
Back of all these difficulties there
is a pretty general sentiment that we
are OVERRIDING the industrial COM
memorative exposition. There is also
a feeling that the United States gov
eminent should stop Substituting pri-
vate celebrations of public events,
that the makers of breakfast foods
and patent churns should pay for
their own advertising. We have in
the middle west, class of people
who have travelled the whole weary
fourteen years journey from Chicago
to Norfolk. With perennial enthu-
siasm they will always welcome new
opportunities to hang scalps npor
their belts. The rest of us are tired
Maybe that is why We didn't go to

MISREPRESENTATION.

Under glaring headlines an Ogden
paper prints an alleged interview
with Frank d. Pardee, who is quoted
as saying that in many Nevada towns
hungry men walk the streets at night,
with no food, no place to sleep, and
with no money to buy the necessi-
ties of life These men, the alleged
interview states. are willing to work,
but there is no work for them, and
being broke they are compelled to
remain where they are, in imminent
fear of starvation.
So far as a careful examination of
the exchanges that reach the desk of
The News. from every newspaper Of
flee in the state, can show, there
have been no cases of starvation re-
ported to the press. The newspapers
as a rule are not in the habit of
overlooking good live copy of that
kind, regardless of the fact that there
may be boomers" among them.
The interview purports that Mr..
Pardee says that Goldfield is the Gen.
ter OF this disastrous condition of af-
fairs. but that there are other towns
and camps in the state which are in
nearly as bad shape. Tonopah and
Ely, he says, have not been as wide
" advertised as the southern part of
the state. and perhaps, he is quoted
of the onrushing horde of adventur-
ers and fortune seekers who have
been lured by dreams of wealth.
Unless Mr.. Pardee has been gross
ly misquoted, he has spoken either
without proper investigation, or with
out due regard for the strict observ-
ance of the truth.
Why he should have gone out of
his way to attack an entire state
merely because he did not find things
exactly to his liking in one section
of the state, cannot be readily under
stood Perhaps Mr. Pardee would
discount the achievements of those
who have developed the famous gold
properties of that section of the state
and have wrested millions upon mil
lions of dollars from the tenacious
grasp of nature. Perhaps Mr.. Par
dee is a bit envious that he did not
take the hazards of the desert and
risk his comfort for a short time and
in exchange receive golden stream
in his lap.
Perhaps he would prefer to sit on
the lawn under the shade of the plum
tree and have the fruit drop into his
open mouth.
On the other hand, Mr.. Pardee may
have spoken from cursory examina-
ton of an isolated case. There are

BUY "COPPERS" NOW.

The mines in this district are bet
ter than they have ever been; there
is more ore blocked out ready for
hosting and the camp will be big
producer just as soon as the smelter
starts. Just why it is that values
have been knocked so hard it is i'm
possible for one not on the inside of
the System to say. The man who
buys approved copper stock in this
district at the present prices will
know a few months later that his
judgment was good.
