No lie that Hearst can invent
against Bryan is too vile or transpar-
ent for Roosevelt and his cabinet
stumpers to take up and endorse and
repeat. He and his cabinet present a
spectacle of beautiful consistency in
the noisy and ostentatious removal of
a couple of Insignificant officials for
activity in politics, when Taft was
nominated by of1ce-holders, and the
entire cabinet is on the stump. The
circumstance signifies the desperate
case of the republicans and the wild
ness of their terror of defeat-Tampa

The New Danger.

Immigrants should be q chief issue
In this years campaign in South

sive proof that Messrs Roosevelt,

all their force and influence to fill

the congested cities Of the North and
the over crowded countries Of Eu-
rope. No man with half brains can
be 30 simple as to be deceived by the
pretty platitudes Of those conspira-
tors. To save and secure themselves
from the tide Of undesirable immi-
grants overrunning the North and

The unfortunate action as to I'm
migration taken by the administra-

NEGRO BOY KILLS UNCLE.
His Victims Asleep When FIRED Up
conference.-the Case OF Youthful
Depravity.

Bethune, June 5.-Harry lowers, a,
colored man who lived on Mr.. p. Lee
McNaughton's place, about FIVE miles,
above here, was shot and instantly
killed by Wilson Cousar, a 10-year-
old negro boy, about 2 o'clock Thurs
day morning.
From what can be learned the cir
cumstances are as follows: The little.
boy, who was a nephew of Harry
lowers, and who was living with hiss
uncle, was recently whipped by him,
(Jowers) for stealing. The boy, who,
is half idiot, brooded over his imag-.
mary wrongs and procuring a single
barrel shotgun the boy entered thes
room where lhis uncle and wife were.
asleep, and placing the muzzle of the
gun near the mans head he blew his
brains out. Then placing another
she'll in the gun he shot his aunt i'm
the thigh, severely wounding her.
This is one of the most remarkable
cases of youthful depravity ever re.
corded in this seetieA. .b,A :

The Forests Of Europe.

No country was ever more harried
or brought to the verge Of ruin by
war than Germany at the end Of the
thirty years war. Yet look at her to-
day. Her forests have been restored
by q wise and far-sighted policy and
as the years 60 by the forest resources
OF that nation are becoming larger
instead Of being depleted. They are
growing every year more than they
are cutting. We are cutting every year
three times as much as we are grow
Ing.
France has been through the same
experience. The Franco-Prussian
war left her q swept country. The
moment her people returned to their
vocations her productive fields re-.
sumed their nomal fertility, except
where forest destruction by the
French people themselves had done
almost irreparable damage to the
country. The scars left by the for.
eisn Invasion and the bloody conflicts
OF war were soon healed, The scars
the French people had inflicted on
themselves by the reckless destruction
OF the forests on their hilisides will
take centuries to heal, though now
after the terrible injury to the coun-
try by deforestation has been done
the French government has been
aroused to the necessity for repairing
the damage and is spending many
millions to restore what was wan
tonly wasted.

ment for municipal ownership, the
experience Of British unions is sig
nificant. They cannot retain their
members who drift into municipal
employment, nor can they tolerate
separate organizations of public en-
ployees, for such an organization was
repudiated by the trades union con-
gress in 1905, on protest from other
unions that it was weakening their
membership. Municipal employees,
therefore, look to political action to
secure better wages and shorter
hours of labor, and, as Prof. Com
mons says, they "sooner or later cast
their votes for candidates who prom.
ise or have secured a betterment of
their condition." And Mr. Sullivan
found that "unionism and Office
holding, even of the pettiest grade, do
not fuse"

ELKO CEMETERY
SCENE OF MURDER
Inmate of County Hospital Stays
Old Man in Gold Blood.
Proud of His Act

Whitaker was busily engaged in wat
ering a grave he fired three shots into
his body killing him instantly. He is
very proud of his act and thinks he
had done a worthy deed. After be-
ing placed in the Jail at Elko he spent
the time playing cribbage with the
other prisoners, worrying not for a
minute over his action of Sunday
morning
The dead man was a native of Can
ada and came to Nevada in the early
sixties where he located in Virginia
City. Later he went to Washoe City
where he had charge of a big store
there His wife died in 1865 at that
place and after her death he gradual
ly went on the downward grade, play
ing the stock market heavily and al
SO imbibing too freely in drink. At
that time he was supposed to be worth
100000 but the stock market went
against him and he was soon broke.
Previous to the vanishing of all his
funds he staked his sons with sew
eral thousand dollars which gave them
a good start in life. From that day
on he had never heard of them.
The cowardly murder of the old
man has caused a stir in EikO county
and swift and severe punishment will
be meted out to his assassin.
