PLATFORM

To THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMO
CRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION
We, Your Committee on Platform and
Resolution, report as follows:
The Democracy of Elko County,
through its representatives, assembled
at Elk this day, declares its allegiance
to the time-honored principles of the
Democracy of the Nation and with
pride and satisfaction endorses and
ratifies the Charter of human rights as
proclaimed by the National Democracy
at Denver and emphasized and pro
claimed by the State Democracy at its
recent Convention held at Tonopah.
The declarations of National and
State Convention deal with problems
and define the position of the Demo
cratic Party on every live question that
vitally concerns the welfare of the
that we heartily commend these declara-
tions to the attention of the Voters of
Elko County for their approval, perusal
study and ratification.
\ We congratulate the Democracy of the
Nation upon it's Standard bearer, to
give force and effect to it's great and
progressive principles, WILLIAM j.
BRYAN, the most illustrious citizen,
the ablest and most aggressive Cham
pion that the cause of human Justice
has had since the days of Jefferson and
Lincoln, and in his running mate, John
Worth Kern, the Democracy has an
ideal representative of these principles.
With qualification, we point to the
complete work of the Democratic Con-
vention of Tonopah in nominating
candidates of honor, repute, service and
capacity that fit ITS splendid declara-
tion of principles where true freedoms
cause leads and under which mans
rightful opportunity will never be
abridged. Pep.
We rejoice in the unanimous selection
by the Tonopah Convention of HON.
FRANCIS G.. NEWLANDS for the
United States Senate, a representative
of great force, whose championship of
Democracy and soundness in constructive
legislation is not equalled or paralleled
by any other statesman in the upper
branch Of the Nations Congress, whose
Reclamation and Inland waterway pro.
jects are the scope of National Applica-
tion and Legislation, through which the
sons and sons of man will until time is
no more, by thrift and enterprise and
toll secure those rewards that ever make
the good citizen, the prosperous COM
munity and the nobility that is true to
the welfare of q Nation. We earnestly
commend the career and service of
Francis q. Newlands to the thoughtful
attention of the Voters of Elko County,
and upon this high and useful service,
we earnestly invoke their united support
for this great Statesman.
For Congress, the Party has honored
the People with the selection of Hon.
Geo A. Bartlett, sterling son of abil-
;,,k L
and fidelity to the interests Of the State
is not surpassed by that of any other
citizen in Nevada, and whose record in
Congress has been able, fearless, and
with an influence for salutory legisla-
tion as First Termer, never surpassed.
For the Judiciary, our own Judge
Talbot, one who is dear to the citizens
of Elko County, and whose unirnpeach-

CONJECTURE vs. REALITY. A Few Home-truths About the General American Attitude Toward War.

Lieut.. Hugh Johnson, U. S. A., in the March Everybody's.
 Do we absolutely ignore the lurid fact
 of war? Have we no glimmer of an idea of our part in an international crisis? Of course not. We have a lick and a promise wartime plan. There is a vague general idea that in the event of war: l. The ranks of the regulars will fill from fifty per cent. peace strength to 100 per cent. war quota.
 ?. Volunteers will spring up like blades of grass.
 8. Somehow, from somewhere, arms and equipment for them will be forth coming.
 4. The new recruits will be trained by experienced soldiers and there will be plenty of teachers.
 1. Will the regular ranks fill so? No, the plan fails there. With the alterna- tive of the romantic volunteers, no man will enlist In the austere regulars. The enlistments are so falling off at this mo- ment that regular companies all over the states are slowly descending to bedrock. And If the ranks were so recruited, the happy fact would invalidate them for weeks. The addition of twenty recruits to company demoralizes it in peace
 time-in war an influx of more than it's original number in raw material would place it with the -effectives. 2. Will volunteers spring up like blades of grass? Yes, luxuriantly; because, with no one to take care of them, they would better not, for they will also die like grass; and further because 8. Arms and equipment will not be forthcoming Equipment for even one fifth enough infantry does not exist Rifles, hardtack, guns, shrapnel, saddles, uniforms, tents, clothing, haversacks, belts, bayonets, sabers, all the Jumbled circumstance of war will have to be man ufactured, after the outbreak of hostili- ties. We have some 150 f1eld-guns; : Japan has ten times as many, and guns are wonderfully made. Their manufacture requires trained men, special material and machinery, and weeks of painstalSing care.
 1. If the volunteers were mustered, would there be instructors to make sol diers of them? Absolutely no. The reg ular army is so denuded of company of ficers by present peace-time demands from the army itself, that there are not one and a half officers to an organization; there should be three. The increased de- mands of war will reduce this number 10 less than one to the company.

A Ghost Story From Italy.

From the Chicago News.
 Italy is steadily producing the cham pion spirit yarns of the decade. The following comes from Ancona and is given in the language of two brother lawyers, the sons of Sig. Marracini, pub lie prosecutor: Since several days the strangest events have been taking place in our house. Last night we heard re- peated knockings and the moving of fur niture in uninhabited rooms. Hurrying thither we heard a rustlng, and nothing more. Meanwhile there was a curious disturbance in the electric wires and all the bells in the house began to ring, mak- ing a horrible din. Believing that the wires had somehow got into contact we had the whole installation examined by competent person, but everything was In order. But the most remarkable thing was the discovery of jets of water spring ing from the walls and almost flooding the floors. These were seen not only by us, but by other persons as well. Shortly afterward we were in the dining room, when we saw milk coming up through the floor. We reported the matter to some workmen, who examined the walls, broke UP the floors raising the blocks, but they did not find the least trace of milk, wa ter or any other liquid.
 still the prodigies were not finished, as was shown by the appearance in the dining room of a cup filled with milk. One of us, who happened to be close to the spot on the floor where the cup ap- peared, drew a little nearer and saw a cup of coffee and milk arrive. Our father then cried, jokingly, Coffee and milk? Rah! I should prefer wine Shortly after ward, while the table was being cleared. we saw a liquid running from the walls; it was wine. A little while ago a pear appeared and then we recalled that our sister had asked at table for pear. but was refused, as she had already eaten enough fruit The pear was on dish, which was locked away in the glass sideboard. When the latter was opened the pear was no longer there.
 we then thought that some myste- rous mediumistc force might be exer- cised by our sister. so we watched her every movement carefully and followed the child when she rose from the table. When she passed close to a book shelf where there were two volumes on spirit ualism, one of the books was raised in the air as though by some supernatural force It hit the girl several times on the shoulders, then danced for a few mo- ments in the air and was then clapped against the wall at the very spot whence the milk had issued"

being paid higher wages. The tips are not as high as they used to be, owing to the fact that shines cost more, but some of the operators accumulate about 50 cents a day in fees A Philadelphia Italian, who is one of the "big" bootblacks of the country, has frequently tried to 'break into'' New York, but his country men here have succeeded in keeping him out. His latest attempt was in the case of the Hudson Terminal, and there he was beaten by Americans.
 It is probable that New York will soon see an innovation in bootblacling stalls. Rain means poor business for the polish CT, for what is the use of having a shine washed off in a few minutes? To encour- age bad weather trade rain checks will be offered. A man may jump into a chair on the way home, have the mud rubbed off his boots, and receive a check which will entitle him to a shine when the weather is clear Doubtless the rain check will be a boon to the fastidious man, who, while he may realize the fu- tlity of getting a regular shine in wet weather, will probably welcome the op- portunity of having the mud taken off.

and enforcing under well-defned limita-
 tions their laws. He has absolutely noth- ing that they have not given him. And any assertion of any other authority is I usurpaton and an impertinence. Even his discretion is buoyed, an unmistakabls channel The citizen is supreme. One half and one of the citizens of the state can control it absolutely by the choice of one of their number to execute their will. And they have said what number of ths whole shall amend constitutions or make laws. All of the governors and judges and presidents and cabinets combine1 cannot do it. The people, however hum ble and unlearned and obscure. can d, what no persons by virtue of any office or position or wealth or influence can do. And if they do not do these things, and prevent things which they do not approve, it is because they are indifferent and un- worthy of their citizenship, or have soll to the demagogues the birthright of the primary and the ballot.

American Citizens Their Own Rulers.

rIncTICdH SitiZenS nclE own nuiCrS' Chancellor Day of Syracuse University, in
 Leslie's Weekly.
 The citizens always have been greater than the officeholders for they create of Aces and select officeholders, who cannot select themselves. The people are the President the Governor. These are names for their will, their authority, and their power, their agents. This Is a good reas on why they should defend such offices and those who occupy them, for they are represented in them and their self respect must suffer by any degradation of the instruments of their self-govern- ment. And this Is why men chosen as representative rulers can never afford to forget whom they serve. That remark of one of our governors that "the people want a governor to rule them was the opposite of the truth It could be reversed and be true The people should rule the governor. They make the laws and the institutions and they determine the per son who shall be called governor And he can rule nobody. He can simply act for the people in carrying out their rulership

Why not let Diapepsin digest
your food for awhile and
let your Stomach rest
until it gets back
its strength.

Your Stomach will not right itself
Indigestion will not go. You can wish
all you please. You may wish you
weren't troubled or wish you were we'll,
or wish you could eat like big Bill
Smith or Sarah Jones-that won't cure
you. Stop wishing. Don't complain.
Get your Stomach in order. There is
nothing really wrong.
One 22-grain Triangule Of Diapepsin,
eaten like candy after your next meal,
will prove to you. five minutes after,
that there is nothing radically wrong
with YOUR Stomach. Your Digestive
system is unstrung-thatS all--needs
vitalizer-more gastric juice. Yes
more digestive juices-then you can eat
what YOU want without the slightest
fear OF Indigestion or Dyspepsia or
that your food will sour or lay like
a lump of lead.
Diapepsin contains the very elements
necessary to digestion, and when placed
at work in the weak stomach and small
intestines supply exactly what these
organs need. They stimulate and re-
plenish the gastric glands and prompt
ly bring the digestive organs back to
their normal condition.
