Talks of Nevada
"There is al solutely no limit to the
possibilities of development in southern
Nevada" said Mr.. Bartlett, "and the
country promises to yield boundless
wealth. I regard the labor troubles as
practically over for the present. The
unrest caused by the efforts of the
1. w. w. to draw all unionists to-
gether and form coalition is practi-
cally over and the development of the
district will go ahead s it never did
before
Congressman Bartlett related the ac-
count of the governors action in hold
ing the labor outbreaks in check in
reply to a recent editorial in Los
Angeles paper, in which the Democratic
administration was violently attacked
and charged with being responsible for
the labor troubles. Governor Sparks
was elected by a majority of 5000
votes, after a Republican majority of
5000 had been given to Roosevelt.

NRM PARAMOUNT IsSUe7

Will an entirely new issue take pre-
.cedence in the presidential campaign OF
next year?
The political weather vane at Wash
inston certainly seems to be veerlng
toward a new point.
The character Of the Issue thus fore
cast IS disclosed i'm a recent dispatch
from Washington, containing this state-
ment: zone of the most radical ana
far-reaching movements in American
politics that has been opened up Is the
presidents latest addition to his rail-
road policy" This movement, as briefly
outlined, has for it's basis the assump-
ton that state government. so far as
the railroads are concerned, will be
wiped out, the administration claiming
that state courts and legislatures have
no jurisdiction to regulate the rail-
roads,"
This is the new departu on which,
as intimated, the president is aiming
to- switch the Republican party for the
run next year. 1t involves what was
known in the early days CT the republic
as the Hamiltonian idea of the right
ful authority of the federal govern
ment. That was the idea that the
states should be relatively unimportant
factors in all national matters.
The passage of the tate bill by con-
gress appears to have been taken as
the entering wedge for forcing this
issue into the foreground of national
politics. According to the presidents
view, as intimated, every act passed
by a state legislature concerning rail-
ways since the rate measure was en-
acted, is null and void. The several
state laws providing for reduced fares
and all other measures calculated toI
regulate railway operation are not
worth the paper on which they are
printed, according to the Interpretation
attributed to the president.
In order to clinch the administra-
tion's construction of the law the
United States supreme court, of course,
will have to pass upon the constitu
tional aspect of the question. With that
object, as reported, "the matter will Oe
hurried to the supreme court before
and it is expected that rail-
way control by the states will be de-
clared a thing of the past in respect
both to interstate and within-the-state
carriers"
Herein we see the essence of what
may become the paramount issue in
the national campaign of 1908. Reduced
to it's simplest form the question will
be whether the states shall surrender
to the federal government certain pre-
negatives hitherto supposed to be in
2luded generally in the reserved rights"
Of the states as indicated in article X
of the constitutional amendments.
Shall the Hamiltonian idea of CEN
tralization or the Jeffersonian idea of |
state supremacy in matters mot dele
gated to the United States by the con-
be accepted as the para
mount American idea?
If that is the issue which the adminis-
tration is preparing to project at the
front in the coming presidential con-
test the Democratic party will hail the
with delight.

THREATENS TO
HANG LEADERS
Congressman Bartlett of Nevada Tells
How Bloodshed Was AVerted
During the GoIdfieId
Troubles

Congressman George A. Bartlett of
Nevada, who is at the Alexandria
hotel, gave an account last night of
an ultimatum delivered to the Gold
field miners by Governor Sparks, which
is made public for the first time, and
which is believed to have been the
chief cause in preventing a repetition
of the Colorado situation in southern
Nevada.
Governor Bartlett made a hurried
trip across the desert when the sit
uation reached a crisis early last sum-
mer, accomplishing part of the journey
in an automobile, and told the union
lists their leaders would be hung at the
first shedding of blood in the district.
Governor Sparks made the trip in
response to telegram from the West,
ern Union Telegraph company saying
they feared violence at the hands of
the miners, and had reason to believe
an attack was planned on their Gold
field office. The governor left imme-
diately for Tonopah with Attorney
General Sweeney. 1t was necessary to
finish the remainder of the journey in
an automobile and they We're taken in
a night ride across the desert to Cold
field in Congressman Bartletts ma
chine.
Situation Critical
The situation at that time is said
to have been the most critical ever
known in the district. The governor
faced a large meeting of the miners
and by a strong speech completely won
them over. He recalled his efforts in
securing the eight-hour day and as
sured them of his sympathy, but as
sured them that at the first outbreak
of violence the state militia would be
called. lie still had failed to win over
the union officials and the .Godheld
Industrial situation is said to have
hinged on a meeting with three of
their leaders two days later. The In
dustrial Workers of the World were
represented by w. w. Smith and two
other union leaders. They apparently
had been but little impressed by the
governors visit and gave little indi-
cation of being in sympathy with pa
cific features After they had persis-
tently refused to accede to the gov
ernor's demands, he said:
