ROUTES TO
BECHANGED
And AutoiStS Will Prob
ably Spend Night in
This City

1t is understood that the route for
the big New York to Faris auto race
which is now on has been changed in
regard to the passing through the
State of Nevada.
Shortly after the original route was
named Hal Lennon Of this city, who
is probably more familiar with the
roads of this state than any other
one man wrote to the people in charge
of the routing for the race and ex-
planned to them the conditions exist
in. in Nevada. He also suggested a
racers and would insure them good
travelling and a chance to make time.
AS a consequence word has been
received in this city that the rout
will be changed so as 10 conform
with the suggestions of Mr.. Lennon.
The autos, it is said will go south
from Ogden to Ely and then from
Ely cross the southern part OF the
state to Goldfield From Goldfeld
they will come northward to Carson
City. and from here cross the summit
via the kingsbury grade into Califor-
MIA. BY this change the racers Will
not touch Elko Winnemucca or Reno
as originally laid out in the route.
AS soon as official word is received
on the matter it is probable that some
sort OF an entertainment will be ar
ranged for the men who are handling
the cars in the greatest race ever
pulled off. They will probably re-
main in this city overnight fer a rest
and repairs and if such should be the
case they Will be given chance to
enjoy the hospitality Of the capitol
city of Nevada.

THE PRIMARY APPEAL,

The appeal from the decision Of
Judge Templeton, which held consti-
tutional the thirty per cent clause
of the primary election law, has been
filed with the clerk of the supreme
court and will be argued before the
court at the coming term. AS we
Judge Templetons atti-
tude in the matter, he is inclined to
believe the whole primary law I'M
but as the question of
the whole law was not before him,
he could only pass on the one ques-
ton before him, and he sees nothing
essentially unconstitutional about it..
The matter comes before the supreme
court on this single question, so that
even if there are unconstitutional
provisions in the law aside from this
they will not come before the court
for review. -. ..t~ $751;. "
If the whole matter of the law as a
constitutional measure is to come
up for settlement it must be in an
other case from this one. About the
only feature of the law that seems
to have been attacked in private
speech rather than in public form
is the provision requiring a vote on
the selection of United States SEN
ator. Some of the opinions in the
state is that this is in violation of the
constitution and law of the United
States governing the matter of cleo
ton of United States senator's. But
this expression of the people is not
an election-it is a directory sugges-
ton to the legislature. So far as we
know, there is nothing but moral
obligation about it, and it cannot be
said that a member is under any
duress but that of the conscience.
With reference to the provision oil
the law requiring a candidate for
the legislature to make affidavit that
he will obey this provision before he
can be nominated, we think there is
"a grave question. But the member
having voluntarily assumed that OBJ
legation, this question would hardly
enter at this time. And the mem
beers OF the legislature will follow
the directory suggestion of the vot-
ers ind that is all there will be to
it-un1ess. Of course. the court
should in some case to be brought,
find that the provisions of the law
do; conflict with the constitution,
state and federal. g sss {:

ADVERTISING AGENTS:
MEMBER or ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE NEWSPAPERS FOR TAFT.

Some comments upon the attitude
of the newspapers of the country in
the presidential election are inter
esting as showing the trend of press
opinion and favor. Mr.. Bryan, it is
pointed out, has a smaller following
OF newspapers than in either Of his
preceding campaigns. With few, ex-
ceptions, the metropolitan press is
against him. Mr.. Bryan may tell of
the correction Of the press and its
purchase by the Interests but the
simple fact of the matter is that this
cry is too old and hackneyed to have
any effect.
The press of the country is pretty
generally representative and it is
against Mr.. Bryan for the reason
given by the Baltimore Sun in it's
recent declaration for ft-that it
is felt the business interests Of the
country will be safer in the hands
OF an experienced administrator
like the Republican nominee. Mr..
Taft is honest, he is fearless, he
stands pledged to sound sound poll
cies in behalf of all the people, and
he is judicial, conservative and has
had wide experience in public af-
fairs.
As the Baltimore Sun points out,
fine questions such as s.ShaII the Peo-
Pile Rule opens no factories, pro-
vides no employment and establishes
no Industries. The press Of the
country is generally against Mr..
Bryan because it believes him to be
eTratic, untried and unsafe his the
cries Of government and Of Industrial
policy have proven without safety or
wisdom, and as president of the
United States he could not Improve
upon Mr.. Taft in single part cular,
and his influence in national affairs
might prove immeasurably harmful.
The press and. the people of the coun-
try find much to admire and respect
in Mr.. Bryan but little to command
the confidence that should be felt
In president OF the United States.

LET Us HAVE THE q. NEW n WHEAT.

There IS a kind of wheat reported
in the press dispatches as sAlaska'
wheat-said to produce as much as
222 bushels to the acre-222 bushels
and no misprint about it-and our
crop and agricultural authorities are
In measure worried lest it be in
troduced into this section, raise the
total production of wheat to an enor-
nous total, reduce the price to the
farmer because of the increase of the
product, and otherwise overturn our
agricultural economy.
We do not worry-and we do not
think the farmers need to worry
about obtaining a kind of seed that
s5i11 raise too much crop. No such
condition .was5 ever known in the
world-so far as we are advised
and we do not believe ever will be.
1t is an example of the fine co-ordina-
ton Of the elements and of condi-
tions, that the best efforts Of all the
people are necessary at all times to
produce enough of the things the
world needs, and it is well that this
should be so, otherwise mankind
might IVORY only a few weeks and
idle the rest of the year, to the de-
generation Of the race.
But If we find and develop a kind
Of bread making wheat that will
raise hundred bushels to the acre
or two hundred, we are for 1T. Pres
ident Worst OF the state agricultural
college, takes the other tack and
thinks the farmers of this state dc
net want it. In our opinion, such q
grain would so enormously increase
the world supply OF food that hunger
and privation would be unknown
New markets would be found for i
in the great Orient where million,
do not know the taste of white bread
There would be no possibility o

The price to the farmer would reg

Iation Of the world would be solve

WHERE REAL POTATOES GROW.

The sale Of Red river valley pota-
toes is reported to, Kansas commits
sion men, for supplying the Sun
flower State with seed, and without
desiring at all to reflect upon the
potatoes grown in the heavy soil
along the Red river, we have merely
to say that the KKansas people, and
in fact any people, do not know what
real potatoes are-the mealy, fluffy
kind that break open and burst out
like white ffower-until they have
seen and eaten the tubers grown in
the loamy soil OF the Missouri Slope
country. 1t is here alone that the
potato. reaches its full perfection,
and one may travel far and eat
much before he will encounter away
from this country the kind of POI
tatoes raised here. 4& e9i*t@ a &z$$ G::s
The heavy grained and soggy po-
tato of wet and muddy soils is no
more to be compared to the Missouri
Slope potato than is the bull frog

Of potatoes Kansas soil would grow,
but we believe that Missouri Slope
seed come to fruition in Kansas,
would produce potato that would
reyolutionize the Kansas idea of a
tuber. And the Red river valley

would be need of elevators to handle
it, new railroads to haul it, new ma
chimes to cut it and thresh it and we
should see such an increase of in
dustry as we have never seen. In
stead of worrying about it. let us
pray for it, and trust to the tendency
Of the world to adjust itself to the
new conditions. But we do not think
there is any such grain in sight at
the present time, so there is little
profit in speculation about it.
