which would certainly mark any such hand mouth
enactment. The panic is passing for the time, and
there is reason why Congress should not take its
time to act carefully and saney, perfectng its bill
IN detail, and meeting many of the conflicting
ideas possible But it does not appear to be the
intent of the leaders, There is most regretful dis
position the part of the lower house to evade re-

Not Much of a Revolt.

1t appears from the representations of a Republi-
can of Importance residing in Fremont County, who
invaded the haunts of the Republican machine in
BOISE this week. that Governor Gooding manpu-
lator of the machine is afflicted with progressive I'M
popularity and if SO, he may not be able to survive
the crisis that always comes when the disease takes
that form
Fremont County, says this insurgent would have
cast It's last vote against the Governor but for its
determination to defeat the operation of the con-
stltutona provision against polygamy and the other
1mmoraes associated with it under different names
That 1t might maintain one evil the county had TO
maintain another and it reluctantly conferred ma
Jorlty on the Governor, opposition to the constt-
ton and favor for the Governor being inseparablv
com1ngled in the election day repast
Under the circumstances, Fremont County gave
Governor Gooding 1000 majority while according to
this torerunner of revolt under normal circ11m-
stances, it would not give him any kind of a majority
This eruption IS probably nothing more than diff
terence between the slate makers-one that could be
subdued by an agreement to surrender some COW
eted spollS, for there is no evidence that real in
tent1on to reform methods is behind the outbreak
The enforcement of the constitutional provision
for the suppression of the po1ygamous remains the
issue and If dlsgruntled county was compelled to
vote for Mr. Goodng the last election on account
of that ISSUE it will face the same alternative at the
next election
Progressive unpopulary, therefore, encounters an
important stumbling block

With the opening of Congress comes the announce
ment that action with reference to currency is
likely to be had before the end of the session. and
that it is doubtful whether anything will be done
even then. This follows hard upon the statement of
President Roosevelt that the leaders in Congress are
working upon bill and that the measure is likely
to be passed before Christmas. Accompanying both
is the report that the House leaders are getting ready
to force currency scheme through the lower cham
Der with little or no discussion. There is no real
inconsistency between these apparently contradictory
Stories nharmonious they may seem. On the
contrary, they but too clearly indicate that the ia

Automobile Party.

An enjoyable automobile party was
given by Mr.. J. ]. Beatty on Thursday
evening of this week. The party was in
the nature of surprise to his guests in
that it was not known what the destina-
ton would be until the big machine with
its load of merry young folks neared the
Kinds Hot Springs in Smith Valley.
Here a stop was made for an hour or two
where the Ponce de Leon qualities of the
spring water were fully tested and de-
licious lunch was served. Returning
home in the wee sma' hours of the morn
ing the run was made by Chauffeur Estes
in an hour and thirty-fve minutes, and
the guests were loud in their praise OF
their host for the pleasure of the trip.
Those of the party were J. J. Beatty,
host, Mr.. and Mrs. Thad Hoppin, Miss
Pierce, Miss Josie Becker, Miss Edna
McNeely, Mr.. J. Cheatham and City
Attorney n. w. Willis.

Before the fall campaign warns up we
want to suggest that great care should
be taken in the selection of candidates
for county commissioners. The commits
sioner's Office is by far the most import
ant in the county. The commissioners
have exclusive direction and supervision
of our finances. None but broad minded,
fearless business men of proven integrity
should be nominated. There should be
no politics in the selection of commits
sioners.

Almost a Killing

But for little luck and the presence of
mind of one of the city officials we
would have been compelled to tell of a
killing in this issue of the Times. Some
of the residents of Yerington are in the
habit of staying out late at night, and
while they claim to believe there is no
danger, still they are in the habit of car
rying guns. One of them was out with a
lady last night and their conversation
became so interesting that they walked
farther than was originally Intended, and
as they were returning home the lady's
husband suddenly appeared on the scene
and two guns were pulled simultan'
eously, and-a city official said; Let's &c
to Vic Bernard's and get some Bodie
Steamed Beer and cool off," A sugges
ton that was adopted and the double
killing prevented.

The second party of campers returned
last Saturday. They were only absent
long enough to grow a half inch of
whiskers on their chins and get nicely
sunburned. Their trip was about the
shortest of the season, but they certainly
came home loaded with venison.
Just four in the party Mason Mcleod,
Frank Estes, Harry Holland and Charles
Doudell. Holland tells the story and
the others swear to it. Their first en-
counter was with bear tracks, from which
they escaped only by getting where the
brush was SO thick that the tracks couldn t
follow them. They caught more trout
than they could eat, notwithstanding the
fact that none of them were hungry.
Mason Mcleod dreamed that he was in
den of mountain lions and would un-
doubtedly have slain his companions if
they had not awakened and found out
what he was trying to do. They met a
California game warden whom they fed
on grouse to keep from being arrested.
The most enjoyable encounter they
had was with two deer, both being killed
dead after a running fight One deer
chased them half mile after having all
his legs broken, each of the hunters hav-
ing shot leg to save the others lives.
The venison brought home was the
real thing, and was served Saturday
evening at the Yerington hotel.

Patrick Henry McCarren is not
dismayed over the result of the
primaries last week. His Irish is
up and he is going to do things at
Tonopah. AT present he is busy
preparing Gross of Gold and
Crown of Thorns" speech that will
place Mr.. Bartlett in the "also ran"
class.
When the congressional bee
quietly stole into the bonnet of
one Colonel Maxson, of Reno, it
put III action one of the biggest
punches of nerve and energy that
will disturb political circles this
year. Maxson is fighter, he has
ideas of his own and is not afraid
to express them. If he gets the
republican nomination the demo
cratic nominee may look for sur
prise about every other day until
the campaign is over.
When you see an attorney look
ing pre-occupied, evidently think.
ing deeply, very busy but always
having time to shake hands, at
this time of the year, he has been
visited by the bee and is planning
his campaign. We have nothing
authentic to report, but believe
that plum labeled district attor-
ney" would look good to Attorney
Cutlery.
The legislative situation in Lyon
county does not seem satisfactory
to anyone in either party. A SEN
ator and two representatives to be
elected and most of the good tim
Der inclined to be shy. Few bus
mess men care to make a campaign
for an Office that takes them away
from home for two months and as
a rule gives very little in return
for services rendered but criticism.
An excellent opportunity for the
political bee to get busy.
Some one noticed recently that
two or three of the substantial old
timers were watching a young
married man very closely. The
results must have been entirely
satisfactory as one of them was
overheard making remark that
sounded very much like this: eve
want to run Ira Wagner for con-
stable"
Judge Rogers, of G oldfield, ought
to get wise and make a timely
switch. If Reno gets the republi-
can nominee for congressman (and
it will happen that way) then Gold
field is entitled to the candidate
for U. S. Senator. We would sug-
gest Rogers-Maxson political syn
dictate or combine, it would make
a hit, and might be successful.
