Among the more important state
conferences of the day were those of
Ohio, New York, Indiana and Iowa.

IS GRANTED
Ely Council Gives North
ern R. R. Desired Street
Privileges Other Bus
ineSs Of Meeting

The most important meeting
of the city council in some
months was last evening, at
which an ordinance granting
the Nevada Northern franchise
for the use of Garden street
for a period Of 30 years was
passed to second reading after
a long argument in which sew
eral citizens took a leading
part. The bone of contention
all the way through, however,
was not the granting OF the
franchise but the length OF time for
which it should be operative. The
railroad wished 35 years, while Counr
Gilman Carbon and a portion of the
citizens wished to grant only 25
years. Root and Hall. however,
stuck out for 25 years and later, as
compromise measure, 80 years, to
which Carbon agreed.
The meeting was called to order
with all members of council in at
tendance and number of citizens
present. Mayor Clark announced
the suspension of the regular order
of business in order that the citi-
zens might not be kept waiting, and
the ordinance requesting franchise
for the railroad fer 35 years was
presented and speeches made in ia
yor of its passage by the city attor-
ney and Attorney Quayle, for the
railroad.
Carbon in reply stated that in his
opinion = ) wears was too long time,
but 25 years would be about right,
as it would give the citizens chance
to remedy any defects at the end of
that term. He also favored giving
the people the chance, as In the wa
ter franchise. every ten years, to say
what the general regulations of the
line in the city limits should be. He
called on the citizens present for ex-
preston of opinion.
J. E. Aiken stated that if Ely was
ever to be anything of town it
would have to depend on street car
service for substantial growth. The
service would be the life of the town,
he stated He called attention, how
ever, to value of the desired fran
chise to the road, citing instances of
sales of franchises for substantial
amounts.
He asked that the council in grant
ing a franchise should consider time
nf ritnuipu farn tn hp pharOad and
the motive power used. He called
attention to the fact trat the fran
chise did not mention the motive
power to be used on the line and
asked if it was intended to electrify
it,
He was answered by the city at
torney. who stated that there was
nothing in the franchise to keep the
railroad from electrifying the line il
it so desired.
Councilman Root told Of the meet
ing had few days ago with the
railroad officials, at which the com
mittee of councilmen refused to do
anything about the freight depot
abolition. which was asked of them.
He spoke in favor of a So year fran
chise He then asked how many
trains Would have 10 be operated to
hold the franchise. Quayle stated
that if trains were not operated for
a year, the franchise would be va
Gated.
Boreman spoke at length upon the
duration Of the franchise, drawing
comparison with the usual life of
franchises, which he declared was in
most cases from so 10 100 years. He
called attention also to the fact that
the initiative had been taken by citi-
zens of Ely and not by the railroad.

that he was going to give every man
brought before him on this charge

as he means to break up the prac-
tice so far as possible.

THE UNERRINC ROOSEVELT.

Many of the great banks boast of
the almost superhuman sensitiveness
of receiving tellers who can intui-
lively pick the counterfeits out of
heap of coins. President Roosevelt
seems to have had the same acute
sensitiveness in discerning the count
erfeits in humanity. In nearly every
instance where Roosevelt has declared
that the human coin rang false the
event has proven him in the right.
His unerring judgment of men is
well-nigh miraculous.
President Roosevelt has tried
Secretary Taft in many ways and dur
ing years of service. He pronounce
him to be the best possible man t
carry on the work of the administra
ton. Roosevelt has been right s
many times that it is fair to presum
that he is right in regard to Taft.

DES MONIES DOES THINGS.

Superintendent Hamery of the de-
partment of public safety in Des
Moines is entitled to the thanks of
decent people for his determined
warfare on the dissolute women of
that city. He has declared war of
determination so long as they insist
in plying their awful business, which
! ruins soul and body With his severe
measures, he hold out means of
escape to better things. Many re-
formers are valiant in attacking
wrong practices. but fail to likewise
interest themselves in substituting
amusements means of occupying time.
or extending helping hand to un-
fortunate ones. With system of
monthly fines, safety from restraint
if certain quarters OF city are oc-
cupied. the dolngs of these filthy
creatures are dignified. 1t is made t.
appear that their occupation is 6
necessary evil. Strangers going te
the city are more easily influenced t.
see the tough side of city life. if ii
can be pointed out, and seen will
publicity. 1t is amazing how paralyz
ed is the arm of the police and thu
mayors of cities. when it comes t.
dealing with dissolute women. There
fore all the more credit is due to tn
men at Des Moines who have starte'
in earnest to drive from the city
open houses of shame.
