Are you encouraging your

THE q. o. D. M. & L. SCANDAL

The controversy that has arisen w the @ o I. Mining and Leasing COM
pany affairs, this past week. throws a light upon transactions which ire far
from credhable to those concerned. and warrants al investigation by the mining
exchanges. It is apparent that there mas been a systematic attempt to job the
stockholders Of the company and play the market to the benefit of the officers
and insiders who concocted the scheme. Every trick known to the fraternity
was re@rted to- ever to the use Of fictitious assays the commonesto of all prac-
tees The stock has been III up and down and worked in every conceivable
way, to fleece tn market Worst Of al. it seems to have involved the manager
of the parent company which ave the lease to the @ o D. NJ s L. company,
and this manager is understood o b a big holder of the leasing companys stock.
The public raj given to understand n mi way an another, that the lease
held by the Q o Z. M 8 L. Co, and which was not to expire until sometime this
fall, would not be extended. Although tn DAFT is several months hence, the
manager Of the G. O. Q. wrote to the manager of the Leasing company On April
9th, that an extension could not be expected; but the letter wa so worded as TO
be somewhat equivocal Nevertheless it was usedt to bear the market on Leas-
ing stock Now the parent company's manager comes tut with a statement that
implies that no decision whatever has been arrived at and leaving it tobemf@red
done by the Mining and Leasing people" the lease might be extended. Whether
r. intended or not these utterances Of tn o d management have been used
TO influence the stock market; and as they have been more or less inconsistent

We boast of our country, it's freedom,
its greatness. its power. But it has it's
weak spots. When a band of men defy
ing both God and man can hold up a
great mining camp like Goldfeld with
demands which a man should be sent to
the penitentiary for making, and there
is no redress for the decent people;
then there is something lacking in our
system of government. or there is some-
think lacking in the officers whose bust
ness it is to execute the laws.
II there is not a conspiracy in re-
straint of trade in Goldfeld and If a
creants who defy every law of our coun-
try and of civilization, then our govern
ment is a failure sure enough. 1t seems
to us that Governor Sparks course
ought to be a plain one. tina it should
be plain sailing for the district attorney
of Esmeralda county; hat the machin-
cry of the law If set in motion would
give peace to that region. calm the fears
of the people and permit the natural in
d~ustries of the people to be resumed.
OF course the officers would rave to be
backed by a sufficient forcs of ~resolute

vada and for that matter to the whole
country for the enemies of law and order
and justice all over the country take
hope every day for what is going on I'M
checked in Goldfeld.
This is so important a matter that we
believe the strong business men and
genuine leaders of labor of not only Ne

meet and canvass the situation and look
for a remedy. Nevada a year ago today
had better prospects than she had had
for a quarter of a century. She has al
ways paid top wages, she ~inaugurated
the eight-hour day for miners long in
advance of any other state. Today her
people are filled with anticipation of
violence and misrule and it has all
come from men who nave stolen the
sacred name of labor over which to raise
their black flag of anarchy, ~incendiarism
and murder.
These Industrial Workers" will have
to be stamped out or what they are do
ing will spread east and west and north
and south. 1t has become a contest be-
tween order. law and justice on the one
hand and violence, crime and chaos on
the other. The Federation of Labor, be
it said to the credit of the organization,
is on the law n order side and against
the anarchists. If the machinery of the
law is paralyzed in Nevada, we should
all know that fact. We cannot under
stand the apathy of the officials there.
We cannot quite understand the patience
of the people. 1t seems to us that a few
resolute men acting in the name of the
law could relieve the suspense in a week.
A few arrests, a few held up for trial
would paralyze the others. Nevada Of
acials should vindicate the good name of
their state.

ONLY SLAVES ARE EQUAL

The liter futMty of the doctrine that all men are and should b. kept equal,
using the word in the sense ' the Socialist program. was explained very iucidly
az a recent meeting in New York CITY, by Charles J. Bonaparte attorney general
of the United States The meeting was held under the auspices Il a Catholic
charitable organization, known as the Society of 81. Vincent de Paul The meet
ing vas presided ovr by Archbishop Farley, who introduced Attorney General
Bonaparte as the first Catholic citizen of the United States" In the course
Of his address, which was OF Socialism and Charity h speaker said
LAS have said on another occasion the root Of Socialism is the doctrinet that
all men OF right ought to be, and should therefore be made and kept precisely
equal This doctrine is really a wholly arbitrary dogma. a pure assumption, jus
titled neither by reason or by history and, in fact, contradicted by he daily
experience of all mankind; but it "a $ 20 earnestly preached by the apostles Of
he French Revolution that to question its truth wen nw to a certain class Of
teachers an thinkers is little short Of blasphemy.
But it was quickly seen that to make men more free would make them less
nearly equal, that the faher their start the more quickly nd surely some would
con to the front n others fall behind, that, in short, If equality had the
meaning which leaders In or W revolution thought more and more inclined
to give it. equality was inconsistent with liberty and they must choose be-
tween them.

a dozen years was connected with the
United States geological survey. has
just returned from an extended trip in
the northern camps. visiting the Seven
Troughs, Rosebud and Wonder districts.
He speaks well of all the districts visit
ed but is most enthusiastic about the
Seven Troughs country. While he is of
the opinion that Wonder and Rosebud
will both be large camps. he believes
Vernon the largest town of the Seven
Troughs district, will surpass them
both. Conditions have been very unfav-
orable during the past month for all the
northern camps making it very bod get
ting in and out. The labor situation in
Goldfeld is having its BAD effect upon

"BACK EAST" AND HERE

Sub-zero temperature in a great part
Of the middle west, with blizzard ac-
compartment and accounts of people
frozen to death i'm the northern portion
the eastern states with a deep cover
ing of snow. accompanied by a bitterly
cold gale reaching a maximum of sixty
miles an hour; and from our northern
coast states comes the news of furious
storms and disastrous floods.
Southern California has not been,
during the last two months what east
ern fancy painted It, but at its worst it
never has shown even an approach to
the climatic wretchedness that is re-
ported from nearly every other section
of the United states, And the reports
show that this is true concerning the
"land OF Dixie" to a great extent, as
wcll as the whole northern range from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific.
Eastern sojourners in Los Angeles
had sufficient cause for grievance
throughout the months of December
and January. There was hardly enough
sunshine during the whole period 10
cause a stranger TO think there might
be, after all, some ground for the pre-
tense that this really is LAND Of sum
shine" Never before were residents
so completely nonplussed as during
those two months in attempts to parry
the charge that our glorious climate"
Is a delusion and snare.
But the phenomenal period OF wetness
has passed and now we may reason
ably expect normal Southern California
weather during the remainder OF what
we call the rainy season, There viii be

FREE SEED GRAFT

Congress has at last taken under
serious consideration the proposition
made by all intelligent people through
out the country to dispense with con-
gressional distribution of garden seed.
Such distribution long ago degen-
Grated into a costly farce. Millions of
money have been thrown away by the
government in an effort to maintain
the palpable fraud of distributing bad
pumpkin and squash seed in the Suise
of rare and valuable seeds" in order
to aid congressman in doing politics.
This whole business of sending out
seeds is an official graft and public
scandal. 1t has been denounced from
Maine to California and from the lakes
to the gulf, but it goes on like Tenny-
sons brook, forever"
The house of representatives. has con-
temptuously refused to cut off the seed
graft, and the question is now before
the senate 1t will seem strange If the
grave and reverend" senator's fail to
see the expensive character of the joke
and give their assent to the attitude of
the house
Argument on the question is useless at
this stage of the proceedings, and in
fact, there is no argument to support
the free distribution of unfruitful gar
den SEEDS by the government. The
practice began in a scheme to aid the
western farmers, but it rapidly de-
veloped into a scheme TO help members
of congress get themselves reelected
Even this condition has at last proved
futile, for a package of worthless free
seeGs can no longer influence the vote
of the farmer.
The Herald has expressed itself fire.
quently on this proposition, and now
that the question is again before the
senate we can assure Senator Flint
that opposition to the seed graft will
be heartily approved by his constitu-
epts in Southern California.

rainy days at intervals during some
weeks ahead, but there need be no APP
prehension Of such pluvlal discomfort
as naturally induced general complaint
from eastern sojourners In December
and January
Even when the conditions during
those two months are considered, how
ever, the present winter season here
has been pleasant in comparison with
the experience Of our friends In dear
old back east" No visitor in Los
Angeles can read the current news OF
the last two or three days, particularly,
without tumbling to that conclusion.
All the conclusions formed by strang-
ers about the speciousness Of our "glo-
rious climate" claim will dissolve and
disappear, like eastern snowbanks un-
der the rays of the spring sun, in the
enjoyment of the ideal weather that we
are sure to have henceforth.
