BROADWAY EMPLOYEES TO ENJOY
SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY

Beginning next Saturday. July II,
and continuing through the month of
July and August. the Broadway de-
partment store will close at 1890 noon.
Arthur Let's has been the pioneer in
the early closing movement, and this
year the store will follow its usual
custom. AS the employees are given
full pay for the day the afternoon
will, therefore, be spent in recreation
and outdoor amusement.
This Saturday closing movement is
of untold benefit to the employees of the
big stores and is rapidly gaining the
support of every fair minded shopper.
A short time ago one of the women's
clubs indorsed the movement, going so
far as to pledge their support to the
stores which afforded their employees
the half day rest.

A PREMIUM UPON CRIME.

Referring to the cold-blooded murder of Postohce Inspector Fiz-
gerald at Clinton, Mississippi the other day the Grenada Sentinel re-
marks that another man has been sent by a assassin to a premature
grave because human life is not properly appreciated by the courts of
this countryi" that is, the chances that a murderer may be acquitted or
escape the death penalty under a lighter sentence are 10 good that they
actually encourage and promote deadly assaults. There is a large mea-
sure of truth in the declaration, but it is much too general, because JUS
.tne, Is to the taking of life, is stern and memorable and swift in some
states or localities compared with its hardness or failure in others.
1t applies more fully to other crimnalty, such as bank wreckng,
bribery, and the category of crimes INDUCED in by those whom W desig-
nate al the higher ups The Hickey case is but a fair example, and the
.Ruef, Schmtz, Calhoun and Ford Eases in San Francisco are still
other examples of where criminals escape the penalty of their crimes
through iuryjuggles and legal technicaities. By enabling the rich
criminal to escape quick and severe punishment, the courts of the land
discount honesty, and set a premium upon all the crimes in the caen-
dar, from murder down to larceny.

gresham Bartlett and hiss attitude throughout on the sending of troops
to Goldfeld and in favor of the police bill. The latter was voted for by
the governor. The Tonopah platform makes full and complete endorse
ment of these measures. Swapping of horses in midstream is unques-
uonably bad business. 1t spells desperate distress, which is Just what
confronts Newlands. He is trottng his last heat in Nevada and on No

Francis and settle some accounts. Sir Francis can not answer questions
that will be propounded to him. The slogan is Nevadans for Nevada. Sir
Francis was not and never will be what is termed a bona fe resident of

Bryan's patent medicine fnanc is one of the reasons, and one of
the strongest reasons at that, why he should not be elected president Of
the United States. Safe, sane and sound financial laws are the basis Of
national prosperity, and juggling with these laws ieapordizes the bust
ness welfare of the nation. His advocacy OF guarantee of bank deposits
is no less charlatan-lke than many others of his pet dreams. On this
subject the following article by a well known New York financial writer
will be Z. interest:
There are individual banks in New York having deposit liabilities
in excess of one hundred and fifty million dollars and a good many banks
throughout the country with deposit liabilities exceeding fifty million
dollars. To draw one hundred million dollars from the reserves of the
national banks to pay off at once the deposiors of one or two of these
great banks, if they should suspend payment, would force the suspension
of nearly all the banks in the country and would precipHate universal
panic and disaster. What would such a guaranty have been worth dur
ing the recent panic. when all the banks suspended"

The National Banker, in a recent issue, makes the unequivocal
statement that the combined dividends paid by the gold and silver min
ing companies of the United States are greater than the combined dfvi
dends paid by all the banking institutions in the United States. Also
that the combined dividends paid by the copper mining companies of
THE United States are greater than the combined dividends paid by all
the railroads Of the United States and that 81 per cent of all the freight
handled by these railroads is either ire or some commodity connected
with or used in the mining industry.

TAFT GAINING o

The indications now are that the landslide" prophesed by some is
Undertaking, but that it is a landslide from Mr.. Bryan and not toward
him. The campaign has drfted strongly into a discussion of the per-
sonal fitness of the two candidates to discharge the duties of the greatest
administrative Office in the world. And when we look at it in that way
the position of Mr.. Bryan is almost pitful. AS between a man totally un-
familiar With practical administration of anything and by nature and
fixed habit devoted to speculative theory, and an opponent who has for
years been assisting to formulate great policies and has personally di-
rected the execution of the majority of the most important among them
and whose administration has met the universal approval of political OPP
ponents al well as political friends, there can, of course, he but one
choice.
This has come about because the American people have instinctivey
recognized that in this campaign the personal issue is paramount. 1t is
a matter of bread and butter to millions of our people that there shall be
a rest from social and economical agitation. We may some time go at it
again. Very likely we shall. But just now there must be a breathing
spell The great social and economical policies which the Republican
party has settled upon during the last eight years must be permitted to
harden up and fFueuiy under a mar of frmness and vgor but also of
judicial temperament. And that means Taft. There is no reason TO be-
lieve that the Gompers movement to retain his own Office by catering to
the socialisdc element in his ranks will amount to much. American
workingmen who work re intelligent and fair minded. They know as
well a S Others that It would be shocking to oppose a candidate for a po-
htical office because al a Judge he declared the law as he understood it
and as the supreme court of the United States has declared the law to be.
Asto the tarin. there is to be revision. There are none so ignorant
as not to know that to the extent that Mr.. Bryan could control it would
be revised in the direction of free trade. while to the extent that Judge
Taft could control it would be so revised IS to continue protection to
American industries. And the protective policy is as strong in the United
States as ever It was. There is no danger to the Republican candidate
there.
AS for the guarantee of bank deposits" which Mr.. Bryan seems to
make his paramount issue" it has been brought home to savings banks
depostos all over the country that they have nothing to gain by having
to go bail for the security of other banks, such as the State Bank and
Trust company of local fame. If their bank has to pay for the failure of
other banks, they, the depositors, can not get IS much interest On their
deposits as they otherwise would. 1t won't go. The postal savings bank
will come, but that guarantee of bank deposits" is merely another spec
tactular play for the benefit of the grand stand.

The candidacy of that Abraham Lincoln of Nevada, Hugh Brown,
for the Office of supreme justice of this state, is one which is removed
from politics, S o far as politics, a a general term, is understood. The
judicial bench, from justice of the peace, up to United States supreme
justice, should always be free from partisan politics, and this fact is be-
coming to be more and more generally accepted year by year 1t is al
ready accepted in Nevada that this should be the case, and through this
very reason, aside from the sterling worth and merit OF Hugh Brown, he
will receive of the largest votes which any candidate for Office in
the state of Nevada ever received. Nye and Esmeralda counties will vote
for him practically as a unit, Democrats and Republicans alike Votes
against him will be noted by their scarcity, rather then by their number
Like Caesars wife, Hugh Brown Is above reproach. OF enemies, he has
none; friends are legion.

of the committee, by senatorial courtesy and because arid lands in Ne

bill, which thus was burdened by his name. Glorious achievement,

There seems to be more trouble ahead for the Democratic campaign
managers. With Samuel Gompers trying to deliver the labor vote, and
failing, it now appears that Herman Ridder, the newly elected treasurer
of the national committee, has a record which has brought upon him the
charge of being hostile to union labor. The Central Federated union in
New York has made this accusation, and Ridder is getting ready to try
to answer It, Even if there re no more letters from Mr.. Bryan and Gov
