GOLDFIELD's ADVANCE

A ICH mining developments in the
Goldfield and adjoining mining
Ia districts in Nevada stagger the
1old-time Comstock mines and are the
source of constant astonishment to all
even the operators there. At the Gold
field district alone the output for the
last two weeks of July and first two
weeks of August was $2,06S,s00 and the
ore bodies in sight insure continu-
ance of this wonderful showing.
Like all mining regions, Goldfield has
had a share of labor troubles, but the
sequel proves she has men in the lead
there who are competent for all emer-
gencies, and no marked halt has been
permitted in production. Few who note
the surprising output Of these new
fields ever stop to think of the brain
and muscle and courage required to
initiate and conduct such herculean
tasks and when the true inner history
of that half desert-half fairy land
comes to be written we shall read of
the sacrifices and tolls of new order
of captains of industry and learn that
though nature was lavish in her gifts
ii required almost superhuman brains
and courage to gather and apply them
TO profitable uses. Men of will power
and determinate character have seen
past and present fortune to the day of
future needs, and have been builders
of cities and towns, railroads, telegraph
lines, homes, schools and other evil
dences of civic life, exemplifying in a
marked degree the many-sided nature
Of American character, and the proof
of it all lies in the fact that where the
lone prospector and desert companions
were to be found one year ago, today
are all the evidences of concrete
municipal life with all the appurten-
ances of peace and prosperity to be
found anywhere.
Adaptability, that puzzle in American
character SO difficult for foreigners to
grasp and understand, has here found
it's fullest application and fruition, and
the Goldfield mining district is prime
factor in Pacific coast interests in con-
sequence.
1t is earnestly hoped that corporate
interests controlling traffic in these new
fields will be wise enough to help rather
than injure this great national feeder,
and by generous treatment to conserve
its trade interests, that the fullest pos
sible measure of good may come to all.
Piratical trade tactics is something that
is repeilent to the men who made and
dominate that FL Dorado, and they will
resent IT.

fact that thousands. are
studying the question for themselves,
and such course is certain to make
votes for the Democratic nominee for
the presidency, as the platform on
which he will stand will be for the COM
stitution as handed down to us from our
fathers and conserved and protected by
good and loyal Democrats to the present
hour. The elemental processes for every
conceivable twisting of the plain funda-
mental law of the land lies in the doc
trine of inherent sovereign power"
and the people are warned Of it's ne

BooDLER DISGRACE

IN HE thought of the many important
and pressing questions to come
before the<state board of railroad
commissioners makes men sick at heart
when they remember that Bood1er VIII
son will have voice and vote in their
settlement, thanks to the protecting
hand of Governor Gillett. Now, when
the state is in the national eye through
hagrant crime and dishonesty on the
part of sworn officials, and when the
scoundrels are being pushed to merited
punishment, this man, a self-confessed
criminal, utterly without palliatihg
fact in his mean offenses, is held in
important office by tacit consent of the
chief magistrate, and all the people of
all parties are up in rebellion against
the insult and wrong; and yet the gov
ernor calmly stems the tide of public
disapproval, and for fealty to the cor
porate interests that made him, polit-
ically, fastens this great wrong on an
innocent people and gives added insult
to the injury by ignoring their cry.
The people and press are a unit in
condemning Boodler Wilson, and il
nothing else can be done to place him
in his true light in the public eye surely
some honorable man on the Republican
side should rise and demand in the
name of common decency that he be re-
quested to resign, if only to give the
appearance of assuming virtue that
one wing of the party in California is
known not to possess.
Abe Ruef is a member of the Repub-
lican state central committee and
member of the executive committee of
that organization, and no man rises to
take this shame from the people. Fra
ternal orders expelled him, business
and professional men turned from him,
only Elisor Biggy consorts with him,
and that only on sufferance for a
salary, and yet the decent men of the
Republican state committee permit his
name and membership to remain among
them and outrage every decent man in
the statei
With Boodler Ruef and Boodler Will
son yet in the political saddle the cry
Of stop thief" so vociferous and stri-
dent by the Lincoln Roosevelt league
members, has hollow and mocking
sound that must be sweet to the ears
Of Herrin and of Gillett, his political
creature.

GENERALIZATION

UDGE ALTON B. PARKER, adj
mittedly one of the leading con-
- stitutional lawyers of the age, in
an address before the American Bar
association in Portland, Me-, on Mon
day evening, speaking on Capitalization
of power in the federal government,
said:
ut is, however, true that on every
hand we hear not only suggestions of a
broader control by the federal govern
ment of corporations than the constitu-
tion seems to warrant, but also argu-
ments to the effect that, while the
necessary power is not to be found
among the enumerated powers in the
constitution, the desired result may be
brought about under the inherent or
sovereign powers Of government.
1.-THE fathers who framed our consti-
tuition, as we'll as those of the original
thirteen states, had wholesome fear of
arbitrary power. They sought to limit
governmental power by law, the source
of which should be the people-the
states to be supreme as to all matters;
and to exercise all powers except those
specifically granted to the national gov
ernment, the constitution of each state
to be the supreme law and capable of
amendment only by it's people.
1.-THE attempts, however, on the part
of the federal government to despoil
the states of the powers and, functions
belonging to them will not tend to
smoothness in the working of our dual
scheme of government. Already it has
had it's effects. The Indignation of the
governing forces of many of the states
is already aroused. 1t is shown in the
legislation of the year. 1t had not a
little to do, in my judgment, with the
recent conflict of judicial authority in
North Carolina"
His auditors were the leading legal
and judicial minds of the profession,
and the speaker was free from political
bias, having in mind only his profess
sional standing. Note the condemna-
tion placed on what Republican poll
ticians are pleased to- call the inherent
or sovereign powers of government"
Judge anu lIl6 DdI dSSOCldllOD,
as lawyers, know that If an entering
wedge is once driven into constitutional
law in the name, of this monstrous doc.
trine there can be no limit to possible
tinkering of the constitution, only that
of the desires of the Republican party
and the fact of pending resentment on
the part of some states at present in
open hostility to proposed centraliza-
tion is quoted to prove it.
That the federal government should
be endued with unquestioned power
to undo and overthrow all state law is
proposition never advanced even by
the most 1abid of states rights"
authorities in the ''fifties," and that 1t
should come now, when the bitter fruit
of robber tariff is being reaped, shows
to what desperate ends the administra-
ton is driven. Such power so central
lied, would saddle political oligarchy
on the nation and make of it a travesty
among republics. 1t would fasten tariff
robbery and cognate wrongs on the
people and enable the party in power to
be self -perpetuating. State sovereignty
in any sense would exist in name only
and a hundred years of history go for
naught.
There is hope for the people in the

SWEET BELLS TANGLED

THAT Herald readers may know Re-
publican opinion on tariff revision
as an issue in the coming CAM
paign, the following from the east
and west is submitted. The st. Louis
Times says:
While our leaders are wasting time
and talents looking about for issues
they seem to overlook the question
that Will force itself into paramount
place when the campaign is once begun.
Tariff revision means solution of the
trust problems. Revision is demanded
by the people, and to that extent OPP
perfume as a winning measure. DEM
ocrats will use the plea, but it is the
Republican party of tariff wisdom and
long experience that should pursue re-
vision from this day forward"
The San Francisco Chronicle follows
suit in the following, written in crit
icism of Secretary Taft's halting utter
ances in his Columbus speech:
"It is evident that Secretary Taft is
not unwilling to be considered as among
the number of citizens from whom the
people, are at liberty to select the next
president. That being the case 1t would
seem to be due to himself and to the
people to make an unequlvocal declara-
tion of his views on the only distinctive
tenet of Republicanism Oariff revision),
and in fact the only tenet which holds
the party together. The Democrats
with one voice demand tariff revision
80 -I.Tt
wild horses cannot get many of them to
say on which articles the duties should
be reduced, or how much. In the same
way certain alleged Republicans declare
that the tariff must be revised-mean-
ing reduced-and are equally stubborn
in their refusal to pick out the victims
for the slaughter. Now what difference
is there between a Democrat and that
kind of a Republican? Shall we go
into the next campaign with confess
sion that we have done wrong and
promise to reform? Will it help to get
votes to assert that duties ought to be
reduced. but that we do not dare to do
it until after election lest a suffering
and distressed community would turn
us all out of office?
I'VE think that Secretary Taft should
make his position clear on these points.
The studious reader cannot fail to
see the anxiety displayed here, touch
ing the "up and at them" attitude of
Democracy in the issue of tariff re-
vision, and while both differ as to the
non-essentials of "how much" and
which," both agree on the necessity
of revision in some measure, and that
it shall be undertaken at the next ses-
sion of congress.
But Senator Aldrich and Speaker
Cannon hold the lines on both houses,
and the whips, too, and will not permit
move in the direction of revision now
or hereafter, and there you have it; an
administration crying revision, and a
"standpat" congress loaded to kill 1t
should it put in an appearance. To
what base uses may not the great
abilities of able men be brought at the
command of partisan politics!
