HOME ENDORSEMENT
Resolutions Endorsing the
Candidacy of W. H. Hatton
for United States Senator.

For the first time in the history OF
the state of Wisconsin, a United States
senator is to be nominated this year
by popular vote of the electors of the
state at the September primary cleo
ton.
The Republican party presents sew
eral prominent and able men as as
pirants for this, the highest honor a
state can bestoW upon a citizen. The
people of New London are proud of
the fact that one of its citizens stands
foremost in the list of such candidates
as the most logical aSpirant for this
honor and one whom the voters of the
state will delight to honor at the pri-
mary this year.
Hon. w. III. Hatton is one of the
most prominent public men of the
state to-day and for years has been
identified with all movements for the
betterme1t of the state, the advance
ment of learning, the control of preda-
tory wealth and corporations, the
amelioration of industrial conditions
and the securing of equal opportunities
for all. His pioneer and mastery eff
forts in securing the teaching of agri-
cultdre in our public schools and in
securing the most excellent railway
legislation now upon our statute
books. serve as illustrations of the
m inn - of hi al1 hn
has given his best thought. No other
candidate presents an equal record of
achievement as constructive states
man and even his opponent can find
, no flaw in his efforts, public or pri-
vate. He has served his state faith
fully in the state senate and many of
our institutions of learning owe much
to his counsel and support.
Mr.. HatJon should receive the sup
port of all good citizens and the nomi
nation for United States senator
should be extended to him, not only
| because he is deserving, but because
he is peculiarly fitted to represent the
state in the National Congress where
his experience in the senate of the
state will qualify. him, not only to
vote right, but to advise upon many
of the questions which have been
prominent in Wisconsin aId are now
of national significance.
We, therefore, the citizens Ct New
London; in maSS-meet1ng assembled,
do hereby give utterance to the uuan-
imOus sentiment of his fellow-towns-
men in favor of the candidacy of Mr..
HattOn and do pledge him our most
earnest and hearty support for such
nomination and do urge upon the
voters of the state the obligations
they are under to Mr.. Hatton for past
services, his fitness for the position
and his standing as a man whom all
who know delight to honor.
New London, Wis, June 3, 1908.
We. the undersigned, hereby certify
that these resolutions have been ap-
proved by ninety-eight per cent of the
voters of New London and adopted in
public mass meeting.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Strict enforce
ment Of new child-labor law was
started in this town today. Children
under Is years of age who wish to
work are required to have an age and
schooling certificate, an official per.
nit, and badge. Special inspectors
and police have been ordered to arrest
every Observation-Disclosures as well as
parents of children unlawfully at

execute the spirit as we'll as the letter
of the law without further warning.
Building regulations regarding
theatres, roof gardens, all places of
public assembly, and every other kind
of log cabin, marble pile, or bungalow
have been stringently revised. Moth
ing goes now unless it's the finest type

IT'S only step from the sublime to
the ridiculous, says the story, The
groggy clubman got home feeling sub
lime, but he missed d step on the
polished stairs and ''wifey" promptly
made him feel ridiculous. The ma
tiOnal capital long tolerated two
grOggy old railway stations that were
entirely out of tune with general ex-
pectationS. Every traveller entering
for the first time into his Govern
ment's, mecca looked with sublime
anticipation for something grand.
The shabby railroad sheds greeted him
on the outpostS. The first step lacked
proportions. Mr.. visitor naturally
felt ridiculous. But public sentiment
has forced change and the District
has gone to the sublime with liberal
stride. Result Of the transformation
is great white marble Union Station
the finest and largest in the world.
It's rOomy cOncOurse alone can hold

TARIFF REVISION.

The meaning of republican tariff re- vision may be concisely stated as fol- lows:
 I. Maintenance of the protective system. declared by the late President Mckinley in his last speech to be "now firmly established"
 ?. The adjustment of all import du- ties to present labor and market cCndi- tions.
 B. If any duties are not high enough for adequate protection they are to be made higher.
 4. If any duties are too high for fair protection they are to be made lower.
 5. The work is to be done intelli- gently, thoroughly, and as soon as pos sible after information necessary to a proper performance of the task shall have been gathered.
 There is no doubt that the number of Americans who favor this course is vastly larger than the number who de- sire to see tariff revision undertaken by the democratic party, which de- clares that "Protection is robbery, " and has frequently asserted that the amount of revenue to be yielded is the only question which properly has any thing to do wit thhe adjustment of inn port duties.

$50, ,OOO Mire Sale.

First payment of $6,000 on the pur. chase price of $50, 900 was made here yesterday to NJ. r.. .Iosephi, of Cunning ham Pass, for group of four claims re- gently, taken over under bond by the Cunningham Pass Copper Company srys the Wickenburg Miner.
 Considering the amount of the pur- chase price and that the deepest shaft On the ground is only 1l5 feet, the sur face showing in gold and copper ores must be very promising, as the pur- chasing company took over the ground and made the first payment only after thorough examinations were made by competent mining engineers.
 A new working shaft will be started at once on the great ledge which can be traced the entire length of the claims some of the outcrop carrying values high enough to be considered in the shipping class. Iloisting machinery will be installed later and development rushed with all possible speed. The company now has 52 men at work on the Boone claims, a short distance from the .iosephi purchase and has that prop erty developed so that regular ore ship ments can be made from it in future. The Boone property was formerly known as the "Old Bullard" mine, among the oldest locations in the district, next to the Josephi claims.

Attempted Rape.

Jesus Moreno, accused of attempted rape upon the person of Nsperanza Lo- roma, had a preliminary trial before Justice Eedondo Tuesday afternoon and was held in the amount of $500 to await the acticn of the next grand jury.
 Witnesses against Moreno are Fred F. Aeeden and Mrs. Fred E. Meeden: for the defense, Isidrio Hermosilla and George DeCorse. The alleged crime oc- cured on Maiden Lane about four o'clock yesterday morning. Moreno en- tered the yard where the girl was sleep ing near Mir. and Mrs Meeden, and, finding her asleep, grabbed her by the throat and attemrted to carry out his foul purpose. The screams of the girl, however, aroused Mir. and Mrs. Meeden and caused the brute to dtsist. He ran away, but later a warrant was sworn out and Moreno was arrested.

Want Provision for Family Increase.

Through Chief Miguel the Yuma In- dians will make an appeal to the gov ernment to give them egress through the railroad levee so that they may get their wagons through to the river and continue their wood traffic, which to them is quite important.
 Other complaints are to be made, one being that the allotment of lands is too small per capita. Chief Miguel thinks the government, in allotting the h. dians their lands, should make prOYis- ion for future increase in families. From careless observation of the pro- likeness in the average Yuma habitat, we are inclined to believe Miguel is right. And perhaps the same provision should be made in the case of the white settler, in adjusting the farm. unit. How would it do to base the farm unit on the number of kids in the family say forty acres to start with and add five acres for each subsequent addition to the family?

Old Armony Building Burned.

The building at the southeast corner of Main and First streets, known as the Armory building, was destroyed by fire early Saturday afternoon, causing loss estimated at about $2,5O0 besides the building, most of this falling upon Crane & Warrel, who occupied DOT tiOn of the building with merchandise store. The fire originated from gasoline used in operating d brazing machine by Mr. Crane, and resulted from an acci- dent to the machine which released and fired the gasoline.
 Only for the prompt and efficient work Of the fire department and the aid of many citizens the loss would have been much greater to adjacent property. Labatt's shoe shop suffered considerable loss by water, as did also Levin, the tailor, next door.
 The north end of the burned building was until recently occupied as an armo- Try by Go. IT, ; N. c. A. The stock of goods owned by Crane X Warren was totally destroyed, there. was no insur- ance on the building or store, so that the lnss is complete.
 The burned building vas owned (though on leased ground( by John Gandolfo, and was one of the landmarks of Yuma, It formerly stood on the or- posite side of Main street, but was 're- moved to make room for the Gandolfo hotel building. Twenty years ago the building housed big mercantile es- tablishment conducted by Gandolfo & Sanguinnetti, but was previously occu- pied as a store by Wm. B. Hooper x Co.,, Of which James NJ. Barney was a member, ,and later by Gandolfo & GenO- echiO.

Mention was made in the Sentinel a year or two ago that David NJ.

He must have succeeded fairly well, as he was elected delegate from the island province to the late demo- cratic convention at Denver. He did not attend, however, but was represent ed by Senator Owen of Oklahoma, who held his proxy.
 Field was made national committee man from Porto Rico. Years and ears ago Mr. Field served as member of the legislature from Yuma county. He was also Q member of the board of su- pervisors.
