TAKE NO CHANGES

Judge Fitzgerald i'll his argument
claimed that if the state police law
was approved by the people next Tues
day the law could not be repealed OF
amended by the next legislature but
must remain in force for two years as
it now is The section of the constitu-
ton Of the state bearing on this matter
reads as follows;
when majority of the electors vot-
ing at state election shall by their
votes signify approval of law or res
olution, such law or resolution shall
stand as the law of the State, and shall
not be Overruled, annulled, set aside or
suspended, or in any way made inopcra-
tive except by the direct vote of the
people. When such majority shall so
signify disproval the law or resolution
so disapproved shall be void and of 10
effect"
1t will been seen from the above that
the legislature is not prohibited from
amending the law, but is prohibited from
setting it aside or making it imperative.
There is no intention on the part Of
those fayoring the law to annnl it or
set it aside, but it is their intention at
the next Legislature to SO amend it that
it will retain its effectiveness and make
it less expensive. This will undoubt-
edly be done if the law is approved.
But suppose the law is disapproved by
the people, can the Legislature pass law
along the lines of the law disapproved
and will it become affective without re-
ceiving the approval of the people at
the next general election? Some hold
that it cannot. If they are correct, the
situation resolves itself into this: IF the
law is disapproved by the people next
Tuesday, the state will be without any
means of enforcing law and order and
its people will be at the mercy of the
element that made Goldfield averitable
hell
The only safe way to avert
such a condition is for every
good citizen to vote yes on
the approval of the police
law. This will give US in
dustrial peace two years
longer. Take no chances.

The following dispatch nails a despic-
able campaign lie:
Reno, Nevada, Oct %. 1908.
INDEPENDENT, Elko, New.
Driven to desperation in their efforts
to elect p. L. Flanagan, the republican
state central committee, through its
federal office-holding leaders, has given
the stamp of approval to one of the
blacklist ISLANDERS yet circulated in this
state, to wit: That the democratic
party has called upon the people to vote
member Of the Catholic church. The
democratic state central committee
through it's chairman, Peter j. Somers,
and it's executive committee, denounce
this falsehood in the strongest terms.
The anonymous circular has been dis
tributed throughout the state. The
committee has been using every en-
deavor to trace down it's origin and
circulation by the republican state
central committee. 1t appeared stimuli.
taneously in practically ever republican
newspaper in the state. 1t is the one
faint hope the republicans had of de-
feating the democratic candidate for
United States senator.
The charges contained in the republi-
can circulated dodgers are falsehoods
of the most cowardly type. The writer
of this, the chairman of the democratic
state central committee, is a member of
the Catholic church. He personally
passes upon all democratic literature
being used by the democratic party in
Nevada and certainly would give no
support to throw ridicule on the faith
of his fathers.
Francis G. Newlands is too broad
minded a man to give his support
morally or otherwise to such a SANDER.
Wherever the opportunity offered, he
has fought for the principles upon
which the foundation of American
liberty is based: Religious liberation,
the right of every man. woman and
child to worship God in the way their
conscience tells them is right:
Pay no attention to this cOwardly
effort to soil the garments of religion.
1t is sponsored by the republican party
of Nevada as the campaign draws to a
close, when it realizes fine hopelessness
of it's fight to stay the citizens of this
state in their now thorough intention of
returning Hon. Francis G. Newlands
! to the United States senate.

Committee.

TAFT CHANGES PLANS.
He VIII Not Appear in Sandusky on
Labor Day.

Middle Bass, o., Sept. 3.-That
Judge Taft should go personally into
the campaign outside of Cincinnati
sometime in October seems to be the
suggestion now under advisement. 1t
is believed that is one of the subjects
to be taken up when National Chair
man Hitchcock arrives here for a
conference next Saturday. Chairman
Hitchcock expects to report to Judge
Taft the progress of the campaign
generally and to inform him as to the
details with which, because of his
sojourn here, he has not been in df-
rect charge.
Judge Taft's plans for visiting
Sandusky have been changed. He
will not appear in Sandusky on Mon
day, September T. for fear that his
presence there might interfere with
the Labor day celebration. already ar
ranged. He may leave Middle Bass
for Sandusky Monday night, but any
demonstration in his honor would be
postponed until Tuesday morning
The departure of the Taft party
from Sandusky for Cincinnati is
scheduled for Tuesday at 1 D. m.

FALLS 500 FEET.
BaIIoonist Drops to Death Before
$4,000 Spectators.

Waterville, Me, Sept. 3.-In full
view of $4,000 Mortified spectators,
assembled on the Central Maine fair
grounds here, Charles Oliver Jones,
the well known aeronaut of Ham
mondsport, N. Y, fell a distance of 500
feet to his death. Among the wit
nesses of the frightful plung were Mrs.
Jones and child and they were almost
the first to reach the side of the dying
man. He died an hour and a half
after the accident.
Jones had been at the fair grounds
with his dirigible balloon Boom
erang," known as a Stroebel airship,
since Monday. When the aeronaut
reached a height of more than 500
feet, the spectators were amazed to
see small tongues of flames issuing
from under the gas bag in front Of the
motor. Many persons endeavored to
apprise Jones of his danger, but sew
eral minutes elapsed before he no.
ticed the fire. Then he grasped the
rip cord and by letting out gas en-
deavored to reach the earth. The
machine had descended but a short
distance when a sudden burst of fame
enveloped the gas bag. the frame
fell with the frame of his motor and
when the spectators reached him. he
was lying under it. The gas bag was
completely destroyed. The physician
found that Jones had no chance to
survive as he was injured internally
and his spine was broken.
1t is thought the bag leaked and
that a spark from the motor caused
the disaster.

Rogers. With the exception of a few
bruises and severe nervous shock
Banks was uninjured.
