said, because of the stand have ta-
ken concerning the present commercial
revolution that is on in these United
States of America. The commercial
world is being awakened and, as in all
wars, men and women are being killed,
both literally and financially. This has
been called the age of commercialism
and 30 it is. Every age has been an
age of commercialism. The entire
centralized population of the world is
engaged in this struggle, and it is an
error to consider only those men as en-
gagged in commercial pursuits who are
engaged in merchandising or financial
institutions alone. The professional

The greatest question of the present
day is the proper control of the great
commercial forces" said Mr.. Darling.
He professed himself to be democrat

kind of socialim which insists upon
those who had been successful dividing
up their means with those who had not;
rather would he create opportunity and
encourage every one 10 take advantage
of it. He painted vivid picture of
the conditions existing in the slum CEN
ters Of all the larger cities, showing
how the vivid and unsanitary conditions
in the sweat shops are brought about
through the greed of those who enrich
themselves at the expense Of the poor
in the sweat shops, and how these foul
and disease breeding tenements are
made to play prominent part in the
bargains displayed in the great de-
partment stores and advertised by the
mail order houses.

Building Blows Down.

The two-story frame building that
was being erected by Villeneuve &
Staniger for B. R. McCabe, on South
Main street, was blown squarely in two
in the middle Monday afternoon, the
upper half sliding clear of the lower
portion. A very strong wind was pre-
vailing at the time.
This is the second time the building
has been destroyed when nearly ready
to turn over to the owners by the con-
tractors, the first time by fire. The
loss in both instances falls on the latter,
as according to the terms of the con-
tract, as we are informed, no money
was to be paid until the building was
completed and turned over to the
owner.
Messrs. Villeneuve and Staniger are
both hard-working and deserving men
and they have the sympathy of the
community.

A Burning Shame.

The report of the condition of
the State Bank and Trust Co., !,
just made public by the receiver
shows a deplorable condition Of
affairs and a wanton disregard
of trust obligations by the Off
cials of that institution. There
has been altogether too much of
wild cat banking in the State of
Nevada, and it is high time that
some of the guilty officials were
being made an example of for
the future safety of depositors.
1t is to the interests of the
banks that are doing a square
business to see that legal steps
are taken at the next session of
the Nevada legislature to safe
guard the public welfare in this
respect. Such lax methods, if al
lowed to continue, will do more
to destroy the confidence in banks
than anything else.

Journalist Pays Fallon q Visit

d. E. w. Williamson, editor of
the Reno Journal, spent a few
hours in Fallon Monday after
noon. He was accompanied by
his son, D. E. w. Williamson, Jr.
He said that he had just taken
advantage of an opportunity to
get out of Reno for a brief spell
for the first time in a couple of
years and thought he would see
what Fallon looked like. He ex-
pressed surprise at the evidences
of prosperity here and the size
of the town and business houses.
The thing that impressed me
the most on entering your city,"
said Mr.. Williamson, was the
number and beauty of the shade
trees. They surely look inviting
to one coming off the desert. The
reclamation service is certainly
doing wonders for Nevada, and
it is plain to be seen why your
people are such staunch suppor-
ters of Senator Newlands. After
personally seeing the great work
that is under way right at the
very door of Reno, | am all the
more impressed with the impor-
tance of the Reno papers assist
ing in spreading the fame of
Carson Sink, and from this time
on the Journal will devote more
space to the exploiting of the
Truckee- Carson project.

Carson Farmers Association in

A Small Blaze.

An alarm of fire Monday afternoon
called out the department for the first
time. The blaze was discovered in the
residence occupied by s. A. Polly and
family in the John Oats addition, and
was quickly extinguished. but not un.
til about $500 damage had been sus-
tanned by fire and water. A defective
flue in the kitchen was the cause.
At the first alarm the department
seemed to be a bit demoralized, some
going in one direction and some in an
other. However, those who once see
the Fsllon boys in action all admit that
the material is there for an efficient
department. They put their whole
soul into the work. There is not lag.
gard among them.

News was received in this city
this week of the serious illness
of Mrs. ]. w. Danielson, who is
confined in a sanitarium at Mo-
desto, Cal. The following from
the Herald of that city gives the
sad intelligence:
Mrs. J. w. Danielson of Fal-
Ion, New. is very i'll at the Evans
sanitarium, from the effects of
childbirth. The child was born
Saturday and died that night.
Interment was made Monday in
the Catholic cemetery, Father
Giles officiating. Mrs. ]. j.
O'Brien and a daughter, mother
and sister of Mrs. Danielson,
were summoned to the sick wo-
mans bedside, arriving at noon
Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Danielson are a
young couple and built many
hopes on their prospective child.
They came to Modesto on June
26th as the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. A. Pillman, Mrs. Daniel
son and Mrs. Pillman having
formed a close friendship while
in business college together, and
that the former might not only
have the advantage of the pre-
sence of her friends but also of
the change of climate and of our
skilled physicians and sanitarium
at the time of her accouchment.

where the farm lands have absolutely
deprecated in value. This state is
gridironed with railroads; only eighty
five square miles in that entire territory
are not touched by railroads The great
state of Iowa is second in the amount
spent in the catalog house; the
first is New York, and third is Texas. In
the latter state, there are thousands of
people far removed from the great CEN
ters, and hundreds far removed from
even the smaller town. This revo!u-
tion must have its ending. There are
various ways by which the merchant
can be eliminated. You can reduce his
neighbors. his capital and his influence
by taking away from him the business
he ought to do, which will result even

The speaker told the story of an in.

of Prosperity, Okla, where the little
company had gathered about the fes-
tive board, when the village milliner
handed the boarding -house keeper IS to
pay her two weeks board bill, and the
boarding house keeper paid the village
carpenter for work done for her, and
he in turn handed it to the village ply

Shears, Sawbuck & Co., in the city of

A city of million people. or more,
IS menace to the very life of this Re-
public. There is no question about
that. Mr.. Darling described some of
the horrible scenes he had witnessed in
some of the largest cities, to show the
truth of his statement regarding con-
ditions there and contrasted IT with
conditions to be found in the smaller
towns of Oklahoma. Where are we
raising our best citizens7 he asked. A
citizen of Chicago does not know what
is going on under his very nose. This
catalog house way of doing business.
this destroying of the village, are all
great steps in the further concentration
of capital and population in the great
cities. The problem is not how to get
more people, but what to do with those
we already have. One concern IN Chi
cago employs 1000 people although
there are less than that employed there
now. This is not alone because of the
falling off in orders because of the late
financial panic, but because of the fight
which is being made and the revolution
in the feeling that has taken place in
the minds of the people of this country;
and the return to the old way Of doing
business, from manufacturer to jobber
and from jobber to dealer and from
dealer to consumer, is a practical dem
onstration of the decreasing inclination
of the people to patronize the catalog
houses. Now, said Mr.. Darling, you
merchants must appeal to the other
side of the question and not simply to
that Of money.

OARSMEN ARE NOT WELCOME
Washington Varsity Eight Cannot
Row at Poughkeepsie.
Stewards OF Regatta Claim Entry
Was Received Too Late-nne
to Start East Tomorrow.

New York. June THE announcement
from Seattle that the university crew OF
Washington is preparing to start for the
East on June 9, having forwarded an
entry to the Poughkeepsie regatta, has
caused some surprise here.
On behalf OF the board OF stewards OF
the Intercollegiate Regatta Association,
the statement is made that Washington s
entry is too late. and that the crew. even
II 1t comes here will not be permitted to
start. Colleges do not enter the regatta
on the Hudson. They are invited. so that,
in one respect, the Seattle announcement
is wrong
However. it will be recalled that last
year. after Washington won the Pacific
Coast rowing championship. an effort was
made 10 have the crew sent TO the Hud-
son. The stewards at that time notified
the Coast oarsmen that they did not want
to invite any one Of the three colleges to
come to the regatta, but felt inclined 10
Issue a general invitation % the winner
OF the championship. Since then no word
has been received as to whether that was
satisfactory to the Coast oarsmen.
Judged from the recent Seattle dis
patch. il is clear that the Washington
eight having WON from Stanford and
California in separate races. believes the
blanket invitation suggestion 70 have
worked automatically. and therefore is
preparing for the Eastern trip. In spite
Of what has been said. it is believed that
the Washington crew would be welcomed
10 the Hudson. should It arrive as has
been scheduled. The defecuons OF George
town and the Naval Academy would make
the infusion OF new blood into the re-
gatta all the more desirable.

SPRINGFIELD WANTS RACE.
hale-HarvHrd Crews May Row on
Connecticut Hereafter.

Springfield, Mass. June With a view
to bringing back to Springfield the great
est of intercollegiate aqustic battles. the
committee in charge Of the national re-
gatta on the Connecticut River course
here August Il and Is. is already making
arrangements TO have present represen-
tatives OF every prominent college navy in
the East. The Springfield committee IS
particularly fortunate in having as work
ers to this end Charles T. Shean and c.
II. Hathaway. each Of whom is qualified
to exert great influence on college crews.
1t has long been felt that the Connect
cut River course should be the natural
neutral location for the Harvard-Yale
race and the Springfield committee be-
lieves the national regatta Will so amply
demonstrate this fact that the movement
vii! take definite proportions. More than
that, it is believed the regatta will give
rowing a start in minor New England col
leges, and to this end Mr. Hathaway is
now fostering plans that are likely to re-
suit in Gn annual rowing carnival among
colleges now represented in the New Eng
land Amateur Athletic Associations an
nual track and field meet.
Mr.. Shean has long cherished the idea
that Yale and Harvard should have their
annual struggle on the Connecticut. and
he has an able ally In the person of
Coach John Kennedy. of Yale Mr.. Ken
nedy has gone on record in favor OF
Springfield as the place for the big race
between the Crimson and the Blue. Har-
ward has certain property at Red Top
which it dislikes 10 abandon, but Il is felt
here that, with the completion Of Spring
fields big river front proposition. the
advantages Of this course will be so ap-
parent as TO prevent Harvard from hold
Ing off.
While ii is not thought that the change
will be made next year, and perhaps not
even the year after, the Springfield man
has an abiding faith that II will not be
long delayed.
Coach Kennedy has already announced
his intention Of being present at the na-
tional regatta, and will be given an op-
portunity TO view the course from every
angle. Julian W. Curtiss, Yales graduate
rowing adviser. is expected also. and
every effort Will be made 70 have here

ADMIRAL DEWEY (2:O434) DIES
Third Fastest TrOtting stallion In
World Succumbs Suddenly.

Following closely upon the death OF

son. comes that of his fastest son. Ad-
miral Dewey, 2:O4N. who died suddenly
last week at Kirkwood. Del, where ne
was being logged by DIR. J. c. Mccoy.
Admiral Dewey was brown horse,
foaled 1898. and bred by the late j. NAL
colin Forbes. Of Poukapoag, Mass. He
was sired by Bingen, 2;o6A, while his dam
was Nancy Hanks, 2:o4, the former cham
pion trotter.
BY the records, Admiral Dewey was
the third fastest trotting stallion IN the
world, his record being surpassed only
by those Of Cresceus. 2:02h, and John A..
McKerron, 2:041k. From the standpoint
Of breeding he was TO most people horse
with no equals. Bingen, 2:C6h. h7s proved
the most phenomenal sire Of colt trot-
ters ard sons and daughters which breed
on that has been seen since the day of
Electioneer, his paternal grandsire.
Nancy Hanks. unbeaten upon the race
course, has shown speed with surprising
regularity. Besides Admiral Dewey, she
is also the dam OF Lord Roberts. 2:07A,
and several others. and the grand dam
of Vice Commodore, 2:11.
