WHY THEY FAIL.

An article upon the Control of the
senate" by Senator Albert ]. Bever-
idge and which was published a pop
ular weekly not long ago contains
some very pertinent remarks as to
why western senators and congressman
are not retained in office as long as
are those from the New England
states.
After commenting upon the fact
that western men are not retained in
congress as long as they should be the
Indiana senator turns to the reasons
for this situation. He places the prin-
cipal blame upon the western senators
and representatives themselves.
Many new western senator's and
congressman are filled with the idea
that they must stand in with the
powers that be in the senate or in the
house. In order to get good commit
tee appointments the new men place
themselves in the hands of the sem
ate and house leaders. This handi-
caps them for the future and often
gets them in disfavor with their con-
stituents. The bulk of the west is
progressive" and the people do not
like to see their senators and con-
gressmen truckle to the New England
conservative" leadership. AS a re-
suit the senator or the congressman
who trades off everything he has for
the sake of the friendship of the east
ern leaders soon finds that he has
made a mistake. He has reckoned
without his "home people" who placed
him in office and on whom he must re-
ly for reelection. His committee po'
sitions never secure him a reelection
If in order to secure his appointment:
he has been forced to betray his prin'
ciples. "It takes a senator at least ter
years" says Senator Beveridge. "tc
learn that as far as his personal car
eer is concerned, a committee as
signment does not amount to hill Of
beans"

Electric Peaches.

Major Byers, sitting down to his cof-
fee and rolls in Jim's lunch wagon.
"a slow age"
"Oh, is it," said Jim. 'It amt so

"Its presence, James," said Major
Byers. "does not do away with the
fact that it was delayed in transmits

which is some decades ahead of the
now."

suggested Jim.
New it is, but based upon a dis
covery which is now growing DID,"
resumed the major. "It consists in
producing electrotyped canned goods.
A western concern is already putting
out natural roses preserved in a film
of copper Or silver-a very artistic
product. My electrotyped canned
canned peaches and canned tomatoes,
however, will be useful. / intend to
take, for instance, a peach right from
the bough, put in it in solution of tin
salts, turn on the juice-electric-
and encase it hermetically in a coat
of tin. Result-a timed peach,

will keep forever, or until you feel
like cracking it open and eating it.
No chance for deception, either The
natural appearance of the peach will
be retained and you can tell whether
it was worm-eaten or specked. The
grocery of the future will have
baskets of timed peaches and timed
tomatoes with pink mosquito netting
over them. They will never spoil and
can be carried over from season to
season and shined up with metal poll
ish to look attractive. I intend to in
troduce this great system of preserv-
ing to the world if"

A LIVE TOWN.

'Pendleton is hard to beat. You

will hardly find another town that Is
as lively and prosperous as Pendleton."
This is an expression that is heard
here almost every day. 1t is an hon

away in hopes of bettering their con-

admiration and praise for this place.

You run through tunnels all the way.

The Truth.


Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme court says that it is usually
an easy matter to pick out the truth
among lot Of conflicting evidence.
By way of illustration he tells the
following incident, which took place
in little village near New York:
IA house hunter, who had just got
off the train, stepped UP to boy
hanging around the depot, with this
salutation:
"'My lad, I am looking for Mr..
Smithson's new block Of semi-de-
tached houses. How far are they
from here?'
"About 20 minutes walk the boy

A WORTHY FIGHT.

Between the chemists of the de-
partment of agriculture and some
commercial interests very interest
| ihg controversy is now on. 1t is over
the use of certain chemicals as pre-
servatives and the fight has attracted
much attention. The subject is one of
especial interest just now because
most of the food canning is done dur
ing the summer months.
The principal fight at this time is
over the use of benzoate of soda. This
is the preseryative that was used on
the "embalmed" beef that was fed the
soldiers in Cuba during the Spanish
war and incidentally caused the troops
more grief than did the enemy. Ben
zoate of soda, in some form, was also
used by the Egyptians in embalming
the dead. The mummies are evidence
of the fact that as a preservative agent
benzoate of soda is excellent.
But the department of agriculture
chemists object to the use of the chem
ical in foodstuffs. 1t is asserted that
while the preservative may work no
appreciable injury when used in small
quantities by perfectly healthy peo-
Pile, is is clearly deleterious when food
stuffs preserved by it are used by peo-
pie with certain ailments, especially
kidney troubles.
But aside from benzoate of soda
there are other preservatives to which
the department of agriculture men OBJ
ject On the other hand the powerful
packing interests favor the use of
these preservatives for reasons that are
obvious. Just now publicity cam
paign is being carried on in behalf of
each side of the controversy. In de-
tense of the preservative agents the
packers have formed an Association
for the promotion of public health"
and this association is sending out lit
erature in defense of benzoate of So
da and other preservatives.
But those upon the other side of the
controversy declare that this organi-
zation is fictitious one and that the
literature sent out under it's name is
all prepared by an employe of the
borax trust. If this charge is true
then the advice offered should be re-
ceived with suspicion.
Since the government chemists are
working in the interests of the pub
lie and should be able to pass upon
such subjects as this from disinter-
ested standpoint it is but fair to as
sumo that DR.. Wiley and his men are
right in their contentious. SO here's
hoping they will stay with the fight
and will win out in spite of the vast
influence of the beef trust and its
allies.

MUSICAL COMEDY
Will SOON open

SCHEDULED TO OPEN ON
APRIL 20.

Arthur j. Aylesworth returned
from Reno yesterday where he has
been for the last few days arranging
for an engagement in this city and
Goldfield of the Allan Curtis Musi-
cal company of twenty-five people
He was successful in his negotiations
and the company will open at the
Butler theater Monday night, April
26, and will remain here for two
weeks.
The performance consists of one
complete musical comedy each even
ing and the program will be changed
every other night. The prices will
be more than popular.
Manager Aylesworth guarantees
the attraction to be one of the best
companies Of it's kind ever brought
to Tonopah. When they first opened
in Reno they were scheduled to play
four-weeks' engagement, but ow-
ing to the drawing qualities they
were persuaded to stay, and when
they leave for this city they will have
played nine consecutive weeks in the
northern city.
The beauty chorus is one of the
features of the company and it is as
sured that If Reno can hold the COM
pany for nine weeks Tonopah can
keep them for a longer time than
that and have the house crowded
every evening.

HAS.V VISIONS OF
PRETTY STARS
WITNESSES THE FLIGHT IN THE
HEAVENS OF FLOCK OF
METEORITES.

Did you notice that black optic adj
orning the face of one James j. Nc
'Quillan yesterday? OF course you
didn't, for Jim never strayed ten feet
from his own domicile during the en-
tire day. Even after darkness had
fallen last night no amount of coax
ing could persuade James to venture
down town. Not that he was afraid
to appear on the street with a black
eye, but he would rather stay home
and besides he had no important bus
mess to transact in his office.
Jim bruised the optic in question
Friday while endeavoring to show
the little ones how to drive the trick
pony that was presented to Billy
Douglass some time ago. A child's
little go-cart was purchased and Fri
day everything was in readiness for
the long-looked forward to drive. The
pony was hitched to the vehicle when
Jim started to explain the art of
handling the reins.
Its very simple said he, "all
you have to do is to gather up the
long leather straps in your left hand,
grasp the whip in the right hand and
say get up.
That was all. The pony started.
Jim made frantic grasp for the
brake, which didn't happen to be
there, and the next instant both Jim
and Baby McQuillan were rolling on
the ground. Jim's weight was too
much for the small vehicle and conse-
quently the occupants took an i'm
promptu exit. Jim landed on the
aforesaid optic with such force that a
number of pretty stars lowered in
that vicinity for several seconds.
And now Jim is leading the quiet
and simple life, but it is expected he
will venture down town inside of a
week.
