There are no division lines for the
various sections Of. the country, but in
! usage the south means the states that
formed the confederacy, and were slave
holding states, the designation having
had a political significance that still
remainse The east means the Atlantic
slope as far west as the Alleghenies,
and as far south as the Potomac,
though Pennsylvania is classed among
the middle states. The middle west
broadly extends from the Alleghenies to
the Mississippi, and far west to the
region beyond as far as the Rocky
mountains. West of the Rockies the
county is designated as the Pacific
slope.
One of the issues in the presidential
campaign will be the extravaganza of
the republican party in it's conduct of
the government. 1t is startling fact
that the expenditures for the two past
years and the appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal year and for the one next en-
suing. the four years of Roosevelt in his
| own right-as some are wont to say-will
aggregate sum in excess of the amount
expended during the civil-war years
1852 1865. During those years the ex-
penditures were So, 1914, $50, 931. Under
Roosevelt the expenditures for the four
years mentioned above total $3, 42S, $780,
81; $33, 973, 440 more than was expended
during the four years of the civil war.
Government comes high under Roose-
welt and the republican party.
Isn't it wonderful how a panic strick-
en- republican will catch at straws this
year to prove that this country is really
prosperous2 One stopped. us on the
street the other night and gave us as a
proof of the genuineness Of republican
prosperity that the receipts of the Elko
postoffice were greater for the month of
June than for the month of May. While
this was doubtless true, he did not say
how much greater the postoffice receipts
for June would have been were it not
! for the republican panic that struck
the country last year and still con-
tinues. Neither did he say anything
about the whitening effects of the panic
upon the mining industry of Nevada.
His mind seemed a blank on this point,
but the fact that the receipts of the
Elko postoffice had increased last mon h
was proof positive that the country is
prosperous.
