The following letter which tien.
John T. McGmw, chairman - the
state committee IL sending to dele
gates aud those who intend going 20
Denver to attend the national demo-
cratic convention, conveys mueh IN
formation which will be Of value 10
those contemplating the trip.
Grafton, w. Va, June Is, 1905.
Dear Sir:-The subcommittee APP
pointed at Parkersburg to look after
the matter OF transportation for the
delegates and such persons as care 10
accompany them 10 the Denver con-
vention, after many conferences with
the representatives OF various railroads
leaving Cincinnati and Oh icago for
Denver, recommends tor the northern
and middle portions Of the state the
route from Wheeling via Chicago and
Omaha over the same road via Kan
sas City, st. Louis and Cincinnati.
This schedule contemplates the trip
over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad =,
leaving Wheeling at sis p. IN. July 3,
arriving at Chicago at 7.30 on the
morning of the 4th, and leaving Dem
yer at 2.15 p. m. on July 5, making
forty five hour schedule from Wheel
ing to Denver. This schedule contem-
plates going to and returning from
Denver by different routes over the
same road from Chicago and Cincin-
natl.
The best rate which could be obtain
d By the railroads, with efficient SER
vice, is S42.15 from Wheeling and re-
turn, being the rolnd trip, and one
and-half fare from the starting point
TO Wheeling, added to the AZ. Is will
give the rate from any other point
within the state. The Pullman rate il
$3.50 from Wheeling TO Denver.
The subcommittee has not been
able to fix a uniform plan by which
the northern and southern sections Of
the state could go by the same route
as many of the delegates and their
friends fran the southern end prefer
going via Cincinnati and st. Louis
while others prefer the route via Chi
cago. AS no definite plan has been
agreed upon by wbich the delegates
and their friends from the south
ern end are TO go to Denver, II is
thought best to leave the matter in the
hands of Hon. George /. Neal, a mem
Der of the subcommittee, who hopes
to be able to conclude something
definite within the ems ling week, and
when concluded, he will advise yau
and make his schedule pablic. AS
many of our people who contemplate
going to Denver are anxious to know
about the arrangement, it VAS thought
best to advise the members of the
com mittee o. the arrangement as far
as made, and leave to Mr.. Neal the
matter, in so far as it affects the
southern end of the state.
In adopting the iRocky Mountain
Express train over the Rock Island
road fromC Chicago, the committee found
that this train was best equipped of all
the roads leading from Chicago, having
the right of way over other trains on
the same road, which fact guarantees
8 quick trip to Denver without the de-
lay or Inconvenience incident to spec
ial trains or the ether scheduled SER
vice.
Very truly yours.
John I. McGraw.

The proposal to build the jail part
of the new county court house at the
present time and to hold the court
house structure proper in allegiance
until later date is all right, with
the provision that bonds in sufiicient
amount can be disposed of without
sacrifice at the expense of the tax
payers. The plans which have been
adopted are well suited for Jail pur-
poses. Possibly they can also be
swallowed on the court house end.
A mistake has been made in not
placing them on public exhibition.
that the architectural beauty of the
scheme might be generally admired.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-04-09

As the News has ventured before,
there should be no difficulty about
disposing of the court house bonds
of White Pine county at above par,
provided proper effort is made by
the commissioners to bring these
bonds TO the attention of investors,
and provided further that the bonds
are without flaw. Investors the
country over are looking for such in
vestments as White Pine county
bonds afford. They have the back
ing of the greatest copper camp in
the world and of the richest county
IN Nevada in mineral wealth, devel-
oped and developing. These bonds
should bring the taxpayers more
than par.

A COMMENT.

There is one newspaper in Nevada
which still adyertises cashiers checks
as the real thing In local circulation.
For the information of the exchange
list of the sheet 1t should be known
that the advertisement is a libel on
the community and the banks of the
community from which 1t is mailed.
The cashiers check passed out OF
circulation in Nevada long ago. The
space killing freak which still adj
vertises this substitute for coin OF
the realm is left over remnant OF
hard times. Its proprietor should
strike winning streak in his pro-
fession and brace the thing up from
the spois of the green cloth Cal
Hollow Argus.

The l 8 hour law applicable TO the
working time of railroad crews has
its Inconvenience for the public. 1t
also has large measure of protec-
ton in 1t for life and limb. which
should very much more than offset
an occasional bit of annoyance be-
cause of missed connections. The
chances are, however, that the pub
lie will disregard the safety feature
and in a short time yell for the move
ment of trains without reference to
the time the operating crews may be
on the road The traveller wants to
get there when he starts and is as
rule ready to take most any sort
of a chance.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mani
toba. says that the city now owns
| its own water works, stone quarries
and asphalt plant, while the Provin-
cial Government ownes the telephone
system, all OF which proves the
success of municipal ownership.
That statement contains a grievous
error. Not Ownership" but success
full and profitable operation must
prove the success of municipal owner
ship. Winnipeg, however, on the
strength of what that city owns, or
more probably owes for, is arranging
to take over an electric light and
power company, said to involve the
payment of SIS, 100000. AS an ex-
penditure of $3,500,0O0 would have
enabled the city to provide for its
own needs, the apparent intention is
to engage in the general business or
selling electric current in. and out OF
the city. We trust that winnipeg
may have better luck than the city
of Chicago, which, according TO dis
patches printed on the same page
with that from Winnipeg, has been
losing nearly 100000 year for
the last ten years by the peculations
of its officials in charge of its water
works. That is more money stolen
every year for a decade than the Ruef
Schmitz gang has been proved 10
have got away with altogether. Ii
remains to be seen whether anything
will be done about it or whether, by
reason of the great fuss we make
about being plundered, San Francisco
maintains its reputation as the
wickedest city there is
Somewhere in its voluminous re-
port the Civic Federation Commission
remarks that the success or failure
of municipal ownership OF public
utilities in any city will always de-
pend on the character of its people.
If they have the disposition and
ability to put honest, competent and
vigorous men in charge of the en-
terprise and permit them to run 1t
as they would run their own business
there is no reason why the very high
est success should not be obtained.
There is, however. thus far no record
of that kind in any important Ameri-
can city WHICH OWho any pubiiS ae'''NS
Politics and pull are everywhere
present The most competent men
shun public employment because 'hey
are not permitted to act as they
would act for themselves, nor have
they any security for permanence of
employment. Moreover, they are GER
tain of public abuse whatever they
do.
The objection to municipal owner
ship in the United States is based on
a disbelief that there would be either
competence or honesty in the man
agement II those were assured there
would probably be large majorlties
for municipal ownership everywhere.
The number of persons Interested in
private ownership is insignificant.
Public utilities are mostly built With
borrowed money, and those who lend
the money would as soon have
municipal bonds as those of private
corporations. There has been, in
times past. a great deal of money
made by few people from franchises
improvidently, and perhaps usually
corruptly, granted. but there are not
| likely TO be many more such OPP
portunities. But until some city has
maintained an honest and effective
government for at least decade II

Citizens of Ely should give every
aid to the officials in the work OF
cleaning the town and putting it in
the best possible sanitary condition
before the coming of summer
weather. 1t is TO the individuals in
terest to do so by reason of care for
his own health, if nothing more.
With Ely cleaned up and Ely City
with its ideal sanitary conditions con-

will be in shape to make a record

Increases in the salaries of public
officials represent direct assessments
on the people, the miner, the laborer,

man. Remember this whenever you

pense principally of the working

HONORS FOR
 SPRINGDALE BOY
Frank Stewart Chosen to Lead Band Which Will Accompany
 Presidential Candidate.

l. F. Stewart, who has been directing the band at Siloam Springs this summer, came over Wednesday and left on the night train for Chicago. He will di- rect a band of twenty pieces which will accompany Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist candidate for president, on speaking tour of the country, extending from ocean to ocean. They will leave Chica- go Sunday, coming west by way of Kansas City, and expect to be on the road for two months.
 The party will travel in special train painted red, and stops will be made at all the prin- cipal cities in the north, east and west. The band will do the playing and Debs will do the talking, and the party will no doubt attract much attention all along the route.
 Frank IS an ardent believer in the doctrine of socialism, and The News is glad to see him get some of the good things passed out to the faithful. His selection for the position of director of such a band certainly speaks we'll for his ability as d musician.
