P. L. Flanagan told the workingmen
of Reno that he was their friend 4,
Flanigan's record in the Nevada
Senate brands him as labor's enemy,
for he worked against and helped to
kill the eight-honr bills.
Confronted by that record, he told
the farmers at Lovelock that he fought
labor to protect their interests, which
were Threatened by the eight-hour
bills.
The eight-hour bill became law in
spite of Flanagan, It was declared
constitutional in spite of Flanagan 1t
has been in force for five years.
The farmers are still safe
The farmers cannot find anything
threatening" them or their interests in
the eight hour law.
Because there isn't anything there.

FLANIGAN'S LABOR HISOTRY

No one who reads the Journal of
the Senate OF Nevada for 1901 can
escape the conclusions that p. l..
Flanagan is IL political hypocrite for
by word and deed he is there revealed
as persistent, unrelenting and vim
dictiye foe to the workingman.
Flanagan worked against and helped
to kill two of the best bills ever
proposed in the interests of labor in
Nevada. He did it in the Nevada.
Senate in 1901, where he was sent
by the tOilcrs who believed him to
bc the friend of the down-trOdden
and oppressed. These bills were the
EIGHT HOUR acts.
Here is the record found in the Sen
ate journal for the both session:
February 6, 1901. Assembly Bill No.
! was introduced in the Senate. hay
ing passed the lower house unani-
mously. 1t was railroadcd into com
mittcc, reported unfayorably and
killed February 10, Senator Flani-
gan attacked the bill in committee
and his vote helped to kill that bill.
Assembly Bill No. : was entitled: AN
ACT REGULATING THE HOURS
OF EMPLOYMENT IN UNDER
GROUND MINES AND SHELTERS
AND ORE REDUCTION WORKS.
On March 8, 1901, Assembly Bill
No 81 was introduced in the Senate,
having passed the lower house. 1t
was railroaded also, knitted in com
mittee and on March 13, 1901, Ssna.

Hand OF The Church.

A rather unusual resolution was
passed at the annual convocation of
the Episcopal churches of Nevada at
Reno several days ago and relating
to the subject of labor unions. 1t is
usually only when great moral ques-
tions such as slavery are invovled
that the churches take part in the
settlement but the Episcopal people
at their meeting passed resolution
favorins labor unions and pledged the
church to further the interests of the
laboring men and to try and settle
the difference between capital and
labor Where such exist.

tor Flanagan helped to kill that bill
on the floor of the Senate by his vote
Assembly Bill No. IS was entitled:
AN ACT REGULATING THE
HOURS OF EMPLOYMENT OF
OPERATORS OR ENGINEERS OF
MINING HOSTS.
While these bills were pending,
broken-down miners and millmen APP
peared before the Senate to bear wit
ness that long hours of labor in the
choking ore dust of mills and smell
ters doomed them to an early death;
that the pounding of the stamps made
them deaf; that the jar Of the ma
chimes ruined their nerve-systems and
that they were enslaved by their
very lives. Elanigan's voice and vote
answered: II will do nothing for
you"

BILL AND JACK.

This is one of the combinations pos sible of approval by the Republican na- tional convention--for President, Bill Taft, for Vice President. Jack Ham, mond, the former a graduate of Yale in the class of 1878 and the latter in the class of 1876. The aspirations of Taft have long been familiar to the people of the country but until the oth. eri day 1t was not suspected that Ham, mond was ready to quit business to drone the best part of his active life away curbing the petuance of Forak- CT, softening the speech of Jeff Davis and drinking in the rarifled eloquence of Beveridge.
 Why not this ticket of Bill and Jack, an all Yale ticket? Think for a mos ment of the resultant team play. Yale is noted the world over for her suc- cesses in every line of work, save de- batting. President Roosevelt said when he visited New Haven to receive the degree of Doctor of Laws that wher- ever he had been called upon to do things in life, he had found Yale men at his side. How about the country having two representative Yale men ot tc ctda I,,r tney ha fo,, o What could be better? Isn't 1t time the country was taken over by grad uates of the great institution which is known as the mother of men? Sure 1t is.
 It is commonly understood that the delegation from this state, the home of Yale, to the Chicago Republican na- tional committee travels unpledged so far as the second place on the ticket is concerned. President Roosevelt has expressed himself as willing to let the convention select the vice. president. The way is thus cleared for the Con. necticut delegation, mindful of the truth of the old adage that charity begins at home, to hoist the Yale flag and keep 1t flying until the outcome is Bill and Jack. There being no ques- tion of the fitness of either man, there should be no question of the Connecti- cut delegation aiming straight at the bulls eye. Come, gentlemen. take aim and fire. History will reward you bountifully as you will deserve tc be rewarded. Let 1t be said of you that you "seen your duty and done it."

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The American Medical association in convention in Chicago has taken two stands of great interest, lt has put itself on record as favoring vivi- section. going so far as to create commission which shall sec to it that, wherever laws are proposed which have in view the doing away of vivi- section. pressure and argument shall be brought to bear that such laws may not be passed. The other moment ous matter concerns the public health. A number of distinguished medical men urged with enthusiasm that ways and means be sought to create a new cabinet member at Washington, whose province should be the supervision of the health of the nation.
 The suggestion is one that is grow ing in favor in certain quarters and, when the medical men in convention assembled heartily endorse 1t in this manner, there is reason to believe the matter will be pushed. It may be ta- ken as another example of the grad ual tendency there is for governmental functions and activities to be increased and extended The doctors point out the increasing number of efficient state and city boards of health ell over the country and then quite req sonahly ask how the maximum of utility may be expected from these various boards when there is no cen- tral head to see that their actions are compish the desired result. The sug gestion is not matter to favor or condemn at this stage There will be those who will say that the less inter- ference by federal officers and powers the better, that to create a cabinet officer whose functions are in relation to the public health, only means a subsequent demand for score of oth- CT officers with other functions. But in these days of fast and artificial llN- ing, with hosts of people getting prac- tically no bodily exercise, the import ance of health regulations must be in- creasingly apparent.
 Said one of the doctors at the con vention: We must not be blind to the fact that our scope of usefulness as physicians in dealing with large dis ease problems depends in great meas ure on the cooperation of the pub ! lic." Now such cooperation on the part of the public may be gained in number of ways. The public may not be expected to cooperate until it l is educated into realizing just what is necessary. Education may be done in the physicians office, on the lecture | platform, in books and in the press. It may be done by means of cabinet officer at Washington, such as is pro | posed The problem Is merely one cs the best method and the various ones are worthy of careful and thoughtful scrutiny

feeling of prosperity by convincing themselves and indirectly the country at large that 1t was a fact, which pro ceedlng may be beneficial from the workers standpoint, but It Is not en- tirely sound business.
 New England has been far from tlIs St, Louis movement and whatever prosperity advances We may be mak- ing here now cannot well be attributed as due, in the main, to the National Prosperity association, The starting of the factories and mills in this part of the country is significant as being due to a real betterment of condi- tions, tangible return of prosperity.

that when the town and the city were consolidated the school district was able to stay out and continue its inde- pendent existence, In those days poli- ties were as deep as mud after heavy storm on the country roads in the con duct of the schools, Commissioners, school principals, teachers and school house employees were practical and trained politicians In time the burden became lntolerable and consolidation took place, at first upon limited scale and then as we have 1t today with the power of appointment lodged in the hands of the mayor. The argument was convincinsly made that the schools should be entirely eliminated from par tisan control and the point insisted upon that the responsibility should be placed upon the mayor for the char acter of services given.
 The point might be taken to good effect that the appointing power is now more removed from responsibility than 1t should be but this Is easy of change in such a way as to make each admin istration actually responsible for the school government. To return to the election of commissioners by the peo- pie, or by the board of aldermen would be to rentroduce the schools to poit- ical manipulation. The people already have offices enough to elect and the number should be increased only for the most pressing of reasons. Those reasons will not be found in the his tory of the school administration since the adoption of the prevailing plan of organization. Here and there there have been disappointments connected with the administration of the schools but on the whole the schools have been better managed than they were under the discarded system of popular vote
 This fact should not he lost sight of 1T any controversy which has for it'
 purpose the revolutionIzing of the school commission. Let well enough alone.

PROSPERITY AGAIN,

Prosperity, that commercial will-o- the-wisp, is on the way back The shuttles are humming, the forges are glaring, the dinner pails are getting their first cleaning since last fall, many of them, and soon our critics will be turning their attention from the evils of no employment to those of er-employment, from those of no hours to those of long hours. The best part of it all Is that the condi- tions are not forced; they will not prove spasmodic and temporary; they have come to stay, in spite of the fact that this is one of those years wh en a presidential election tends to maKe business conditions, unstable. It is nothing but the ageless truth that the song of the optimist is the only real song. That of the pessinist is not a song at all; 1t is a dirge.
 u IS peTIldpS SlBHlllCdHL LIldL Ol all the country New England has so far felt the returning life-blood of pros perity the most vitally. In the six New England states on Monday, which was the first of June, 1t Is estimated that over 50,000 workers started in on a fuller time schedule than they had been used to since last fall when the panic came Those mills which have been idle altogether have, for the most part, started up again on cred itable number of work hours week and those that have been working on part time have returned to the full schedule of hours The movement of the National Prosperity association of St. Louis has been criticised widely as attempting to create prosperity in an arbitrary way. Its members agreed to give employment to idle hands, ir- respective of the orders they had to hll. The idea was rather to create &
