trouble than has ever been in the
past.
The excuse of the operators is that
they cannot afford to lose the ponce
bill. What is the police bill anyway,
if there is to be constant roublef
The police cannot prevent strikes ana
bovcotts All they can do is to make
an effort to prevent violence. what
hurt Goldfeld in the past has been
her strikes and bovcotts. 1t is the
constantly interfering with condl-
tons. the upsetting of values. All
of the financial troubles of Nevada
NAV be laid at thedoor of the West
ern Federation. The object of the
present stand of the people, who sup
posed they were being backed by the
mine GENERATORS, in a way. was to rid
Goldfeld of the blight of the West
ern Federation. The assembly says
TO the mine owners that they must
retain the Western Federation, and
the mine owners with meekness and
servilitv gave in. The mine owners
reckoned it of more Importance to
have the police bill than to eradicate
the conditions that have brought
about the former conditions. They
forget that in the first place to cure
q disease you must first remove the
! cause. and the second place hat the
mere passage of a police bill and the
presence of the police will prevent
none of the troubles which Goldfield
has inflicted on the state of Nevada
in the past. Furthermore, II the
operators ever had it in mind to re-
move the cause, they forgot that the
'scard svstem' is not the cause but
that it is the Western Federation.
GAS far as the assembly is concern
ed. that whole transaction has every
earmark of petty. peanut politics.
Why cannot men sent to Carson do
their duty as representatives of the
people-do what they are sent there
for? Why do they have to be such
unspeakabIe hypocrites9 What is the
matter with George Bartlett, who sud
IDENTIFY discovers the card system to
be "infamous'9 Suppose the card
card system is infamous, was it not
brought about by the federationists
themselves9 They have made thir
bed; now why not let them lie in
it9
CIT would seem that there are seine
people who dislike trouble so much
that they never want to get rid of
it. Such men are the members of the
assembly and their coachers, and the
operators who were put to the test.
They will get that same trouble which
they are looking for. with the joker
left in the deck, Goldfeld will still
have it.
Did you ever witness that old
spectacular play. around the World

Verne shows up at Suez, or some such
place, and for some reason or other.
the same actors are at the same place
also, though he bid them goodbye at
the start and they were not supposed
TO be travelling with him Tt is the
same at Calcutta, Singapore, Hong
Kong. Yokohoma, San Francisco and
fifty other places. Not that actors are
particularly scarce, there are just as
many in the company, and some of
them have DISCUSSES, you cannot help
but recognize them in any part Of the
world-everywhere Verne turns up.
Finally. in the wreck scene. Just before

ception of Verne. viii be drowned

ton mine four years ago until now.
including numerous deportations,
beating-ups, strikes and boycotts-it
is the same old Western Federation
II will be the same after the police
bill is in force, and the same old Gold
field fires its present. troupe and hires
a brand new company o actors and
other stage help, which will never hap
pen. The troupe does not know how
to play peaceful roles. 1t will take
new help to do that but Goldfeld
could not stand it in peace, hence it
prefers the same old actors, and has
made arrangements to keep them.
