Roosevelt is still writing letters and
dragging the dignity of his high office
into the political mire. When you
read n of his illusions as to what he
has done to correct railroad abuses, Just
remember his treatment of Paul Mort
on, the Santa Fee rebater. Morton was
caught in the net spread by Roosevelt
and acknowledged his guilt. Was he
punished? Not on your life. Roosc-
welt gave him Il seat in the cabinet and
when Morton resigned he gave him a
certificate of character. This act of
Roosevelt should he remembered
when reading his campaign letters.

Tuesdays White Pine News con-
tains the following account of the
death of Rev. J. H. Plummer. formerly
rector of the Episcopal church of Elko.
The many friends of Mr.. Plummer will
be saddened by the news of his death:

known ms II minister in Nevada, died

daughter, Mrs. Hedrick, in Geneva,
n. Y, a Telegram containing the

MI. Plummer had been i'm bad health
for some time, having retired from the
active discharge of his duties rs n
minister of the Episcopal church sever.
al months ago, when he went to live
with his daughter. wife of Prof. He'd
rick of the Geneva agricultural ex-
perimental station. His death. while
sudden, was not unexpected as he had
been afflicted with the trouble which
proved fatal, Arterial Thorosis, harden
ing of the arteries, for Il long period.
Deceased was born in Maryland and
it was there that he met and married
Miss Lena Layton, shortly after his
ordination to the ministry. The call
of the west sounded for the young min.
ister and he became Il missionary for
his church in Nevada. While in this
state he resided in ElkO. LovelOck and
Ely, while here being for II time the
Editor of the White Pine News.
Leaving Ely about eight years ago,
MIR. Plummer went to Portland Ore,
where he occupied the pulpit of the
most prominent Episcopal church in
the city. From there he was called
to st. Marks church. ut Baltimore,
Nd, This was the last pulpit that he
filled regularly, having since resided
with his daughter ut Geneva.
Mr.. Plummer is survived by Mrs.
Richardson, Mrs. Hedrick and by Lay
ton Plummer, his only son, who is a
resident of Ely, being connected with
the Consumers Ice Company. His
wife preceded him to the grave by

WAS remembered here for his Christian
character and constant charity which
made him beloved among the old

Edwin E. Cair..

In renominating Edwin Z. Caine for
district attorney, the democratic county
convention rewarded u faithful. con-
scientious official.
Mr.. Calne is $ well known to the
people of Elko county, both as principal
of the high school and as district
attorney, that it is almost n waste of
time and space to say anything about
him. His record in both positions is
before the people and upon that he
is willing to he judged.
AS Il prosecuting officer during the
past two years, he has made an envi-
able record. He has performed his du-
ties without fear or favorE He has
no friend or foe in the prosecution of
offenders. All criminals have looked
alike to him. That he has been sue
cessful in the prosecution of criminals
is proven by the long list of convictions
had in the district court since the first
of January, 1907. This record speaks
louder than words in his favor.
He submits his record to the voters.
If their verdict is favorable. his expert
ence during his present term will en-
able him to render better service in the
future. There is no doubt of his abil-
ity to fill the Office. This is proven by
the record and conceded by his oppon-
ents.
Mr.. Caine is licensed attorney. He
fills the requirements of the law. He is
able and fearless in the performance of
his duties. If elected, he will serve the
people of Elko county faithfully and
well. No IL will make a mistake in
voting for him.

He degrades his high office and trails it's

reader should not forget that the writer
Of the letters is the same Roosevelt who
four years ago called Judge Parker Il
liar for stating that the trusts were
contributing to his (Roosevelt's) cam
paign fund and that the insurance in
vestigations proved that Parker told
the truth and that Roosevelt was the
one to whom the Shorter and uglier
word should have been applied. Also
that it is the same Roosevelt who has
not had the moral courage to apologize
to Judge Parker for his insult. A rem
cmbrance of these things will help the
reader to weigh Roosevclt's utterances

He states that he has crossed the AIMS
eighteen times and Of these six were ON
loot. During his travels, he picked up
bull fights and fine palaces and cathe-
drals. Prof. Tripp will he remembered

would leave for the West Indies this

all the qualifications claimed by Mr..
