who is looking for easy money to APP

some sort to help the people get rid
Of their money. These fakirs usual
ly keep pretty close track of the
crops and the prosperity Of the coun-
try and are always ready, as soon
as the returns for the years work
begin to come in, with some way to
get part of the money without any
hard labor. The best and most eff

to be unloading stock in some great

If the people would stop for
short time and think the matter over
for themselves and not allow the
agent, or whoever he may be, to do
their planning OF thinking for them.
there would not be nearly so many
of these investments made. When
it comes to big enterprise, that IS
being started or that some one is
trying to float away of in some other

that the party, before biting. should
look well into the matter previous 10

STOCKINGS HIGH.

So the bill passed the senate increasing the duty on stockings
AFTER all and the poor women that protested, who filed their pro-
tests with the representatives of the different states at Washington
have had all their work and worry for nothing.
Senator Penrose from Pennsylvania, that dear man who so dear
~ loves the people, says he would not vote in favor of the Adrch
schedule OF stockings, were it not for the fact that by so doing, he
helps maintain wages; that his tears and his acts in this are all for
those who toll.
II we We're endowed with the Roosevelt propensity to harsh
language, there is only one word that would fit the Penrose case:
Penrose is Just a plain liar and he is merely playing to the gal
leries, trading upon the gullibinty of the many when he says such
things.
Penrose, like other Penroses of the senate, who vote for an in
creased duty on stockings, does 1t because he is urged to it by the
stocking manufacturers of this country and not because of those
VINO knit and spin, these to him are as nails in a wall.
When the tax on stockings was being considered in the make
up of the Wilson bin under the Cleveland administration a bitter
a was waged on the proposed rate and the tendency of those in
authority was to cut that rate.
In order o settle the controversy, three big stocking manufactur-
err o the country were summoned to Washington, two Democrats
and M Republican, and after a long session, these men absolutely
determined what that rate should be.
Under the Mckinley bill that rate was raised, and now the AL
drichs and Paynes and Galhngers and Penroses propose to raise it
again, and all in the name of the dear people" who are making
three OF fou hundred dollars a year while the stocking manufac-
turers, like the heads of the steel trust. are making millions.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

Under the smooth, hoped for respectable, and much abused term
safe and sane" We can SO emasculate the Fourth of July that the
children of a couple of generations hence will not have sufficient
interest in the day to inquire its significance.
Some years ago a Chicago newspaper undertook the task of
compiling the accidents and fatalities of that day-tabulating them
for the imagined benefit of its readers, and then had the column
wired to every paper in the country that would buy it, and rs a re-
suit of this, the people have become scared, for inevitably the list
is long.
But there has been no compilation of the accidents and fatali-
ties of other days of the year-that list too is long, but we never
see it in concrete form; no one institution has made a business of
gathering up these facts and sending them broadcast
Some mornings when we pick up a newspaper, we see a whole
front page devoted to murders and accidental deaths and serious in
iuries occurring on the preceding day, but we fail to charge it up
ious IS on any Fourth of July.
Where there are eight millions of lives, wide awake, enterpris-
ing, MISUNDERSTANDING people, there must be accidents and many
of them. To think otherwise is absurd.
1t is well to have the matter of Independence day celebration to
cracker, the anvil the horns, the bells and the pink lemonade and
the general feeling of abandon and rejoicing, and turn the day over
to cemetery-ike proceedings, church services and tresome oratory,
the old folks may be pleased, but the young folks, those who make
the day glorious, what of them?
What If your early hours of rest ire disturbed on the Fourth of
July morning by a little or a lot of noise? 1t is only one day in
the year. You love your country and you would be offended if
your neighbor doubted your patriotism. Clustering around indie
pendence day are memories it is not profitable to forget. The day
when freedom is won is always a great day.
1t is quite likely, in fact it is morally certain that if we aban-
don our present methods and our past methods of celebrating the
good old Fourth, W e are likely tt run to another extreme much
less desirable.

INFORMATION SAYS RAWHIDE
is ON VERGE OF BOOM

w. c. Harding, the live automobile
agent of this city. yesterday receiv-
ed advices from Rawhide that the
camp had taken on a new lease OF
life and that the indications pointed
to a revival which would compare
favorably with the boom Of the earl
Ter days Of that camp.
In the letter received by Mr.. Hard
ing, 1t is stated that a good strike
has been made in the Mint shaft at
a depth of 400 feet and that thirty
men have been added to the payroll.
From the 400 level drifting on the
ore body and prosecuting the same
are in progress. This r body was
encountered a few days since and is
quite extensive so far as present de-
velopments indicate. 1t Is proposed
to begin the shipment of ore at once
or as fast as the same can be eX-
tracted.
The letter also states that a seven
foot ledge has been discovered on the
Grutt property on Balloon hill,
which shows free gold in quantity.
The Marigold is making regular
shipments and there are other prop
critics that are looking toward an
early entrance into the producing
class.
According to the information re-
ceived by Mr.. Harding, Rawhide is
on the eve of another boom.

CHARITY DEMANDS
THAT SOMETHING
Be DONE NOW
CITIZENS WILL BE ASKED TO
HELP A WIDOW IN
DISTRESS.

There's a little cottage in the heart
of Tonopah where a drama of life is
being enacted which cannot fail to
arouse the sympathy of him in whose
breast there beats a human heart.
Bending over a wash tub from
early morn till late at night a frail
widow works beside the bedside of
a gray-haired mother whose aged
limbs ache with the pains and pangs
of rheumatism. A wee tot of a
child plays at the feet of her who
gave her birth-the same one whose
hands are rough with the toll of
years-oblivious to the miseries that
sorrow and pain bestow upon the
many and not upon the few.
'Tis a scene from the stage of life
and has been going on for nearly two
years. Mrs. Fred Dixon, whom death
robbed her of him who had taken
her to honor and protect, a widow,
is toiling through the day to keep
the wolf from the door. The woman
in the bed is her mother, who has
lain there for w years suffering
with rheumatism. The child is the
daughter of the widow.
But humanity cries out that some
thing must be donet Friends have
taken 1t upon themselves to help the
widow and her aged mother. These
friends will ask their friends to help
and it is likely that before many
more days pass the old mother will!
be on her way to a sanitarium in this
or some other state where she will
be given treatment in the hopes that
medical skill will be able TO relieve
her terrible suffering.
Yesterday quite a little sum was
collected from those charitably in
clined and today the paper will be
taken over the town for additions.
contributions. The money giver
for such a worthy cause will never
be missed. Those who contribute
will unquestionably reap abundantlS
and those who can should certainly
come forward and help the widow II

which it has lacked-that assurance
of definite results, that power to CO.
ordinate advertising with the other
processes of business and base safe
representations upon fixed data.
1t was part of Mr.. French's pur-
pose to show how the advertising
business may be placed upon the
scientific plane where he thinks it
belongs. 1t is not at all certain that
all who read what Mr.. French says
will be convinced that he fully JUS
tifes the great expectations he dis
closes; but, be this as it may, all
will agree that his is excellent adj
vice and sound percepts for those who
pay Tor advertising and those who
write and place advertisements,
No doubt he is quite right in his
main contention that the man who
intends to devote himself to the ad-
vertising business should undergo
special preparation for his work; no
doubt, too, he offers some extremely
valuable suggestions as to what this
! special preparation should be. 1t
may not be possible, no matter what
preparation is given them, to turn
out absolutely competent and infal-
lible advertisers; but 1t ought to be
possible to increase efficiency through
training and to multiply considerably
the number of men able to obtain
satisfactory returns for money e
pended in advertising.

THE PEOPLE ARE THANKFUL, IF IT is LATE.

Better late than never must have occurred to the Tonopah Unit
G a water company, when it arrived at the conclusion that the people
OF thsc city were entitled to a water rate which would enable them to
surround their homes with some show of verdure. Had this action
peen taken years ago when Tonopah had shaken it's swaddling
clothes and became a reality. this city would today present a far
hefet appearance. Perhaps it is a little late in the year for the
people to take advantage Of the magnanimity of the water company.
as IN most localities the time for planting grass in the year 1909
has passed to the great beyond. However, there will be other DAYS
propitious for the cultivation OF the soil When they arrive il is to
be trusted that the established rate will be in force and eHect. IT.
better still, that it be even further reduced.
