THE HYPOCRISY OE TAFT

Taft, the man of many pounds adj
voirdupois, who Is running for prcsi-
dent of the United states by orders
Of President Roosevelt. is not only an
unbelicvcr in the divinity of Christ,
which he strenuously denies, but he is
far worsc-hc is II hypocritc. This
charge is made because it can be prov
ell. 1t WAS demonstrated ut Kansas
City u week ago Sunday when Mr..
Taft WAS the guest Of that burg ut
the mouth of the Kaw.
Mr.. Taft arrived in Kansas City on
Sunday morning. The first thing he
did was to go to one of the fashionable
churches of that city, his coming hav.
ing been carefully advertised by the
politicians. At the conclusion of the
services he made an address to the citi-
Zcns and assembled politicians. Then
he went to another church and did
likewise. Then he went to another
church and did likewise. Then he adj,
dressed an overflow meeting of church
members, citizens and politicians. At
all of these meetings, Mr.. Taft admit
ted that he knew but very little about
the subject Oh which he was billed tC
speak, but said that he believed in Il
general way that the Y. VI. G. \. was
Il very good thing.
Then Mr.. Taft did the great c o
his religious career. He went to {
colorcd church in the suburbs anC
accompanied hy II gang of politicians,
addressed the assembled negro worship
pcrs aud negro politicians; then h,
capped the climax by coming outsid,
the chapel, getting into the ENTER o

ing thus ~rciigiously consumed the day
Mr.. Taft put on the finishing touchc;
by discussing theology with sucl
eminent tlicolOgians as Dickcy, Boards
ley. Mann and that star t%hcOlogian
Baron William X. Nelson. who edit
the vilcst sheet in Missouri.
Such prostitution of the church 70

ELECT A DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE

The importance of clecting II strong
Democratic Legislature to hold up the
hands of Governor Dickcrson in his
announced policies, is paramount.
The platform adopted mt Tonopah
pledges the Democratic party and the
administration to reform in the lcgis-
lation and in the executive manage
ment of the States affairs. Unless the
Governor can he supported by II Lcgis.
laturc with a program along the lines
promised by the platform, these things
cannot he done.
The Senate starts off with II hold
over Senators, seven of these Demo.
cratic and there will he II Democratic
Senate mt the next session without Il
doubt. The Assembly was Democratic
by an overwhelming majority at the
last session and many measures de-
signed for the better government of
Nevada no less than the more eco
nomical management of the States
affairs, were passed.
At the next session the Democratic
party intends to amend the State Police
Law. 1t has given it's pledge MS n
party to do this and is the only party
in the State that has done so. The
Republican convention nc Goldficld
failed to say anything about the Police
Bill except in the most general
terms so that in the Democratic party
lies the, only hope that the bill will Inc
amended in order to fulfil the duty
without carrying the opportunities for
evil which it now has.
As IL matter of fact, not II man nor
woman In tho State has suffered by
reason of the passage of that bill. All
have been benefited in the knowledge
that il is impossible to create such u
condition Of affairs as preceded the
passage of the act and the invasion Of
Federal troops into the State.
Another thing the Democratic party
has promised to do and intends to do Is
TO repeal tho banking laws and to pass
u guarantee deposit banking act based
upOI; the Oklahoma law which has
proved the best State banking law yet
enacted by any state Of the Union.

the loss of deposits in banks in Nevada.
There are hundreds Of dcpositors In this
State now who have not yet received
one cent of tho moneys held by the
banks that failed during the last ~
months. and others who have received
but five per cent on deposits In one of
the biggest banks in the state.
All these things require u remedy
and the Democratic party is tho only
party in the State which had tho hardi.
hood TO declare itself in such matters.

A FUTILE ATTEMPT

1t has been and is being sought TO
array against George A. Bartlett,
Democratic candidate for Congress, the
forces of organized labor. This at
tempt has been futile and has been
rendered more so by the declaration of
Samuel Gompcrs. President Of the
American Federation Of Labor, that
George \. Bartlett is regarded by the
Legislative Committee of that body
n Il true friend through his efforts
in labor's behalf in the halls Of con
grcss.
1t is an insult to the thousands of
members of that great body of organ
lied labor in Nevada to- believe that
they can DE mislcd by misrepresentation
and falschood INTO the belief that
George Bartlett is their enemy
No class of citizens is more benefited
by the enforcement of law and order,
without fear or favor, than the honest,
industrious. law-abiding members of
organized labor.
Upon the other hand the real enemies
of organized labor are the nOn-workcrs.
whose cndcavor is to fOmcnt discomfort,
and the political dcmagogucs who seek
to mislcad labor that they may accom-
plish some personal end.
John Mitchell, while President OF
the United Mine Workers of America.
said: Il would rather II strike be lost
than that it be won by violence" John
Mitchell was ono Of the grcat-labor lead,
crs in this country. He knew that ne
real victory for labor could be wOn by
violence, and that when resort tn
violence is had. it is next to impossible
to win a strike for any cause, no matter
how just it may he.
Every intelligent. law-abiding and
hard working member of organized
labor. who loves his family and his
State, who wants to prosper his per
sonal affairs and t9l see others prosper,
should ask himself this question
"Who has been the friend of laborY"
Has it been the discontinued. trouble
breeding faction whose activity ln,
resulted in the destruction of confidcnc,
and the creation Of suspicion among
w~orkingmcn. or has it been such moi
as George Bartlett. who declare thai
no man planning violence ~ destruction
Of property or life. nor u blatant
