Throughout the administration of Roosevelt this land has been
blessed by prosperity and happiness, and when he passes out Of Of
nee we humbly bow in mute admiration. To Theodore Roosevelt
the ruler of this nation since September IA. 1901, a debt of graft
tude is owed by every man, woman and child, for he has made us
what we are. the most prosperous government in the world.
As a relentless foe to law-breaking corporations and trusts he has
done what he considered.to be his duty, and he worked for the
beterment of all mankind. irrespective of personality or power.
When he took the oath of office he declared that the administra-
ton would be conducted along the lines laid out by the martyred
William Mckinley, and to the last days of his term he has respected
the memory of Mckinley by following the policies of that flusrious
statesman.
May prosperity and happiness follow in his every footstep.
The old saying. Laugh and the world laughs with you, mourn
and you mourn alone is a truth applicable at any and all times 1t
might also be used in this age of modernism. Boost and the world
boosts with you, knock and you knock alone" Although there are
hundreds of knockers in the world, yet tit is true the world despises
a knocker.
Bouse is a healthy young city and has thousands of boosters
from all parts of the country. boosters in all walks of life. but, I'M
fortunately. like all other cities and towns she has knockers, but her
knockers are ah confined, % far S can be ascertained, to a few dis
contents, who float in and float right out again, intent on making
themselves and everyone around them miserable.
A more miserable wretch cannot be conceived than he who wan
des from place to place stirring up discord everywhere he goes. If
the world moved according to his way of thinking he would leave be-
hind him as he drifts from place to place, a path strewn with misery
and want. starvation and degradation-a world filled with the idle
and penniless.
Judge Goodwin of Salt Lake writes n Goodwin's Weekly IN the
Rights of Citizens on the prohibition law which has just been kill
ed in the legislature of that state. What he says applies to Nevada
on the gambling question. If Reno and Elko want local option give
it to them, but do not try to force other counties to the same when
the people are opposed to it. This is what he says:
THE Cannon bill has been killed by the senate. One or two
other measures to adjust the liquor question are under consideration.
Why not keep in mind that the government of the state should be by
the people, and 81 far as the liquor question is concerned, it should
be localized. That is, the Rubens of Sanpete and Sewer ought to
make their own rules and regulations regarding it, but they should
not make regulations for Salt Lake or Weber county, the thought be-
ing all the time that individual liberty is the thing to be most treas
ured under free governments"
As about every paper from the Bingvnle Bugle to Hearsts Ham
erican has picked out a cabinet for the incoming administration, the
Miner offers the following as being the real makeup Of the crew:
President, +. ii. Hartman; vice president, j. Pierp Morgan; secre-
tay of state, J Doughnut Rockefeller; attorney general, n. Water
melon Aldrichi secretary of the interior, Miller and Lux; secretary
VI I'M treasury. henry Hog rogers; secretary VI commerce and Ia
Dor, Harrison Gay Otis, with Lonely Clarence Branson as first as
sistant; secretary of war. Baron Kamura, assisted by all the short
haired women and long-haired men in the confines of what is called
the republic; secretary of the navy, Thomas Windy Lawson; post
master general, Carrie Nation; secretary of agriculture, George Gra-
ham Rice. II is hoped this lineup will be changed. and this paper
win gladly publish corrections al they become apparent.
The bill introduced by Speaker Ginen of Manhattan. not III

county. The taxes and licenses derived from the Tonopah house
alone amounts to about $4,000 annually. This the county cannot
afford to loose at this time. The county is now negotiating the
loan of $4,000 to carry on business with. Speaker Gifen has been.
written to by prominent merchants protesting against his bill. but his
only hobby seems to be to knock Tonopah and Ne county in general
his narrow mind. Again the people of Nye county ask,
THE BILL DO NOT PASS.
The Daily bonanza received a dispatch from Carson last evening
stating that the county division bill dividing Nye county and Great
ing Bulfrog county had been laid Oh the senate table. This "a the
proper thing TO do and was done at the proper time. 1t lis to be
hoped that the people of the southern end of the county now see their
folly and will admit it was a little too previous in asking for a d-
yorce, The "od man Tonopah loves his children and will certainly
care for them in the future as he has in the past.
Once more the Bonanza demonstrates that it is the only up-to-
date newspaper in Nevada, for in this issue we present the full pro-
gram OF the happenings at the Inauguration in Washington yester-
day. This paper reaches practically every home in the southern
portion of this state and is growing rapidly, neeessftatlng the pub
fishing of the news, although it has not been our custom to brag
about t. And besides it is conceded by all business men to be the
best advertising medium Of the southern section.
