vision to further initiate the Ma

is a mischievous plan that puts
every bank at the mercy of the

must pass upon the securities

further imitation of the currency
by artificial means, for the in

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL

As matters stand at present
Taft would seem to be- in the
republican nomination for
president. LaFoliette ia gain
ing. however, every day, and
this means that he is gaining
in the east as we'll as the west.
The people are rapidly coming
to the conclusion that If La Fol-
le,te principles of statesman
ship are goo d for Wisconsin and
have been the means of getting
government by the people for
that state. the same principles
applied to national a fairs
ought to have the same effect.
Wisconsin has had restored
to it by the active work of La
Toilette government by the
people. The "interests" are no
longer dominant in that state
bot there were many hard
battles fought before the PEG.
pie finally triumphed. LaFol-
lette was beaten time and again
by bribery. intimidation, and
other like methods, but he came
right back and fought until the
people under his leadership be-
came supreme as against the
selfish domination of mono
poles.
In his present fight for the
nomination on the republican
ticket, his Wisconsin record
gives promise IF what he would
do as president. If he is nomi-
mated he will be elected, and he
can poll many more votes than
Taft. Taft is an excellent man,
q good man for president, or
any other position of trust and
responsibility, but he has a
verv strong opposition among
the labor element on account
of some decisions he rendered
as judge, in which the laborine
classes had an interest. This
opposition The Search-Light
believes to be unjust, but it ex-
lists. and must be reckoned with.
Another element of weakness.
that is unjust, but exists, is the
fact that the office holders ap-
pointed by Roosevelt are very
active in behalf of the Taft
candidacy, knowing that he is
koosevelt's choice, and also be.
aieving that if Taft is nominal
ed and elected they would be
safe in their present Offices for
another presidential term. This
activity is not inspired by Taft,
and in fact it is believed he
would be very much obliged if
they would cease their work,
but they keep going. and some
of the people seem to believe
that there is too much official
dictation in the selection of a
candidate.
The search-Light sim ply
gives these matters currency
rs it finds them. They are
proper matters to be considered
in connection with the nomina-
ton to be made although the
editor is satisfied they should
not be charged up against
Secretary Taft.
Whoever is nominated by the
republicans must be a "pro.
gressive" and not a IRE action
ist," otherwise the democrats
will surely win. With a re.ac-
tionary as the republican nomi-
nee, and either Bryan or John
SON, of Minnesota, the demo-
cratic nominee, the democratic
candidate would carry this state
by a large majority. The indie
pendent feeling, for the sake of
serving the best interests of the
country, is now very strong in
North Dakota. The people have
come to see the need of more
independence, and less parts

liquor which he sampled in the prohibi-

the component parts was informed by
the bender that he took a gallon of
wood alcohol and put wineglassful
of glycerine in it to mellow it, then
ground down some plug tobacco, and
strained it through cheese cloth to
give it flavor, and then united the
whole with a gallon of water. He
added that it was called squirrel

is doubtless all his friends claim for
him, but the fact of his being state
official should disqualify him He is in

The treaty tree" the original Ameri-

gress was held, with William Penn on
the one side and the Delaware chiefs
on the other, was mighty elm that
stood at Shackamaxon, on the banks of
the Delaware river. Kensington, one
OF the suburbs of Philadelphia, now
surrounds the spot.
AS was customary on such occasions,
the parties to the treaty exchanged
belts of wampum, and the belt said to
have been given Penn on this occasion
IS now in the collection of the Penn
sylvania Historical society. 1t consists
of eighteen strings of black and white
beads, and in the center are two figures
representing European and an
Indian, with hands joined in friendship.
In exchanging tokens with the chiefs
Penn said:
The friendship between you and
me will not compare to chain, for
that might rust, or the falling tree
might break. We are the same as if
one mans body were to be divided into
two parts. We are all one flesh and
blood" When the Indians handed
Penn the wampum belt of peace they
said: g .s MI
1--WE will live in love and peace with
William Penn as long as the sun and
the moon shall endure" '...

Held on Larceny Charge

William l.. Claiborne, a member
of the state police, has been recog
nized to the Esmeralda grand jury on
the charge Of larceny by Justice Brede
of Rawhide for the alleged crime of
stealing an automobile. Claiborne was
arrested at Reno, where he had driven
from Rawhide in theI machine. The
arrest and charge came as the result of
q dispute over the ownership and
possession of the auto The Rawhide
Press Times pronounces the decision
of Judge Brede as "a damnable pros
titution of Justice and says that
when Carl Young snaps his fingers
Brede is perforce constrained to jump
through hoop" and that is what
occurred in this case owing to the deep
enmity Young has for Clai oorne. The
paper also favors vigilantes in the camp
unless quietus can be put on Young
and his friends peaceably.
