Mr.. Taft is perfectly definite on this
proposition. Where does Mr.. Bryan
stand?
The citizen who votes for or against
Mr.. Taft On this proposition does so
with his eyes open and with a clear
understanding from Mr.. Taft himself
of his position. He has frankly dis
cussed this subject time and again
with workingmen themselves, both in
this campaign and prior to his nomin-
alton. He has been willing to express
his position clearly and to assure
workingmen that to protect them in
limits of what he considers justice,
but that he will not go farther. His
definition of justice to labor does not,
as We understand it, include either OF
the principles contained in Mr.. Com.
pers' program as set forth officially In
this bill
Does Mr.. Bryan disagree with Mr.
Taft on these propositions? Will he
state publicly. definitely, categorically
whether he accepts the program out
lined in this bill, as Mr.. Gompers in
his letters has assured the public that
he does?
Gompers Attacks Courts.
Mr.. Bryan's party platform paid a
high tribute to our courts of justice

We resent the attempt of the re
publican party to raise a false issue
| respecting the judiciary. 1t is an I'M
just reflection upon a great body OF
I our citizens to assume that they have
no respect for the courts"
! The great body of our citizens" te
whom this platform refers is admitte d
ly Mr.. Gompers and his followers.
! MIR. Gompers, now Mr.. Bryans oper
and avowed ally, has in the letter
/ herein quoted attacked the fedora
courts in unmeasured terms of re
/ Droach because. by a long line of de
cisions, the equity courts have refused
to make an outlaw of the business
man, because his right to carry on {
/ lawful business under the peace o.
! the law has been protected by the pro
cess of injunction, because, in a word
one of the most vital and most funda
mental rights of the business world
| the right of business man to carr,
on his business. has been sustained
and not denied by the processes of thu
courts of equity.
This sweeping attack of Mr.. Comp
ers upon the judiciary has been made
in frank and open effort to secure
votes for Mr. Bryan. Are these at
tacks made with Mr.. Bryan's consent
Do they meet with his approval? Doe:
he indorse them or does he repudiatt
them?
Mr.. Bryan has frankly questioned
Mr.. Taft during the progress of thi.
campaign, and very properly SO, ask

public matters on which the publ,
were entitled to be enlightened. IL

CANADA MAIL PACT MADE.
Second Glass Matter at Pound Rate

firmation was obtained at the post
Office department today of report
from ottawa that an agreement had
been reached between the two gov

after admit American newspapers,

higher stamp rates imposed when
Canada abrogated her postal conyen-

ago.
Under the arrangement that be-
came effective when the convention
was cancelled 1t was required that
stamps should be affixed to newspa-

posed that were annoying to .Ameri-

the pound rate and the conditions
generally that previously prevailed
and announcement was made today
that he had been successful.

malady was suspected and DR.. Wal

Anti-toxin in sufficiently large guam

the disease was administered and,
while her return to health has been
slow, ii has nevertheless been steady.
A strict quarantine has been main

young man who died Sunday night,
went to the house to see Miss Goods,
to whom he was engaged. In con-
sequence he contracted the disease
and died, not summoning physician

ministered with success. Aside from

BUNKER HILL TO

Within a few weeks the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan property at which
the rich silver lead strike was made
last week will be incorporated by
the holding company and sufficient
shares be placed ON the market to
pay expenses of development. The
property is situated a mile pnd a
half from the Vulcan mine and has
exactly the same formation to work
in. The striking of ore. which took
place at depth of approximately so
feet has created a good deal of local
comment. as numerous Ely people
are interested in the vicinity of
Campbell's ranch, on which ii is sit

Sinking is now down rs feet. Six
men are at work. With every foot
of depth the vein widens and ut pres

ore is soft galena, bearing larger
values In lead than silver. A slight
percentage of gold is also carried,
assays showing about 50 to the ton.
The mine is situated six miles from

point being Shops ranch. At this
point 1t is stated n side track can be

County Facing
A Suit For
Funds

VIII the city of Ely establish two
funds to he known as the road fund
and the city fire fund and receive
from the county auditor monies now
in his possession, or will suit be
brought, friendly in nature, to de-
termine whether the funds can be
legally applied for general purposes? :?
This is a matter which is causing the
city counc1imen a good deal of per-
plexity.
The subject has been broached
several times in the past, but the eli
max was reached Tuesday evening
when Councilman Carbon moved that
the city bring friendly suit against
the county auditor to determine just
where the money belongs There is
at present in the hands of the audi
tor something like 500 for the fire
fund. while according to law the
taxes collected by the county in Ely
for road purposes must be expended
in the town limits.
The origin of the Iuna which Aud
itor Mcknight desires TO turn over
to the fire fighters came about in
this manner. Several years ago when
the city owned the water rights at
present held by the Ely Water COM
pany, bond issue was made. Later
when the franchise was granted the
water company and the water turned
over to them, several hundred dol
lars remained in the county treas
ury which had been acquired y.spe-
cial taxation for the purpose of TAX
ing up bond issue covering the wa
ter rights. This matter has been
held in allegiance up to now, but re-
Gently agitation was begun by the
city.
On Mr.. Mcknight being approach
ed he refused TO deliver the money
in his hands without having it placed
in special funds. His reason for TAX
ing this stand was that when the
bond issue was made it was under
the name of the Ely fire fund Tech
nically he is of the opinion that un-
less the city establishes such fund
no transfer can take place. 1t is the
same with the road money.
Ely has many other uses to which
the money secured from the county
could well be put, and for this rea-

95 feet remains to be completed. II is
expected that unforeseen delays bar
red, the big stack will be completed
on or before May 1.
Few people realize the care requir-
ed in stack building. An improperly
erected stack is liable to crack from
the extreme heat to which Ii is sub
jected, within a short time after be-
ing placed in service. To avoid this
and other faults special methods of
jointing are employed by the work

New Tourist Tickets Will
Enable Ten Day Stop

Changes Made in First
and Second Class Tick
etS--fareS Advanced

Colonist rates will be in effect all
next month and throughout April,
instead of being taken off on April
20, as heretofore stated, but they
will be IS higher than in previous
years, from both Chicago and Mis-
souri, River points. The rate will be
$50 from Omaha. Kansas City and
other Missouri River cities, and from
Colorado points, Salt Lake City and
Houston, Tex. From Chicago the
rate will be $38, but from St. Louis
1t will be only $3.50, and from Des
Moines $32.S5
A peculiar feature of these cheap
tickets is that stop-overs are allowed
on them, but not on regular first and
second class tickets. For instance,
the interstate commerce commission
has adopted rules which allow only
five days to reach California from
the Missouri river on regular first
class tickets. except on certain un-
limited tickets which come at high
rate.
Stop-overs are allowed ON cheap
colonist tickets, however, at numer-
Gus points en- route, including 10
days in Nevada.
