EUREKA COUNTY
BANK MET7TRS

During the week there have been
no new developments in the straight
ening out of the affairs of the defunct
Eureka County Bank. 1t was ex-
pected that there would be meet
ing here this week of the trustees
to whom has been given a trust
deed of all the property of the
Eureka Live Stock Company in trust
for the purpose of securing the pay
ment to its creditors of is indebt-
edness. The Board of Trustees con-
sist Of R. G. Turritin, A. E. Kimball
and Receiver Spencer Reynolds.
The two former trustees have not
arrived, and therefore the proposed
meeting has not been held. 1t was
expected that at this meeting ar
rangements would be made to take
over the property of the Eureka
Live Stock Company now in the
hands of Sheriff Mahoney and his
keepers under attachments-the
trustees assuming management of
the entire property.
In response to inquiries made of
the Sentinel as to when the partial
report of the present Grand Jury
shall be published, it can only say
that until the District Attorney
sees fit to act on the order of the
Court and have bench warrants
issued for the arrest and prosecution
of those against whom indictments
have been found, the report can
not be published, as to publish the
names of the person indicted until
then would be against the law. The
Court made the nee essary order
for bench warrants upon the filing
of the findings of the Grand Jury
two weeks ago, but the District
Attorney arose and said he would
not ask that bench warrants be
served for the present. The Judge
then pointedly said that neither the
Court nor Judge should be held re-
sponsible for the course being pur-
sued by the District Attorney, and
here the matter stands at present.
But there is limit to the time
the District Attorney can withhold
the issuance Of bench warrants
and take the usual action on the
indictments found, and that limit
will be reached when Court meets
for its next term on the first Mon
day in June. Eureka Sentinel.

TEDDY, THE ONLY

What will we do with Teddy
when we get him back? Watterson
thinks he may be dictator of the
American republican American
plutocracy, to be exact. The in
surgents look upon him as their
natural leader-so do the conserva-
tonists. The standpat crowd look
to him hoping that the force of his
name will pull the Republican
party out of the mire in which they
have put it, long enough to place
them in power again. What will
we do with him?
Or, perhaps more appropos, what
will Teddy do?
Is he coming back a progressive
or standpatter, or will he try to
please both factions or attempt to
make enough noise to silence their
chickering's? He'll make the noise
sure.
Roosevelt is the greatest politician
of the age. He understands the
Americans natural love for frank
ness. He knows their admiration
for dashing courage. He plays up
on these two characteristics.
Naturally we do not associate guilt
and chicanery with noise and
buster, so the average American
thinks of Roosevelt as the quint
essence of outspoken honesty. Yet
he was the man that wrote Harri-
man letters, and boldly denied that
he used any Wall street money in
the campaign of 1904.
He was the man who with fiuorish
of trumpets instituted libel suit
government suit, if you please
against the Indianapolis News and
the New York World right in Ethe
midst of the campaign of 1908.
When he knew those suits could
never be brought to trial-when he
did not want them brought to trial
under any circumstances.
Yet in spite of all these things,
IN spite of the fact that no one
predatory" interest was ever re-
strained during his administration,
the people have continued to pin
their faith to Teddy-that is, the
Republican part of the people have
done SO. Nor is it much wonder.
The peculiar nature of his years
hunt in Africa, the continued
ovation accorded him in Europe,
and the general high-light nature
: of his performances have kept
attention focused on him.
But what will he do in American
politics? Taft was his man. His
influence nominated - yea, and
elected the present occupant of the
White house. Will he support
him7 His friend? "
If he does so, he breaks with the
people. During the past year they
have learned to think. They have
begun to see the truths which

THE WHITE CARNAT|ON

the official song of Mothers day,
will be sung through out the coun-
try next Sunday. The White Car
nation" was written by Mrs. Baker
P. Lee of Los Angeles, for the
Mothers day observances in that
city last year.. Mrs. Lee is the
organizer of the Order of Mother
hood and originator of the Mothers
fund. Her poem follows:
Was it for this through all the
countless years
The sun and dew poured spices in
your cup?
Was it for this, with patience and
with tears,
You garnered all your priceless
incense up?
Oh, white carnation, symbol of the
flesh,
Your bourgeoning at last has
found its own;
Today we break your ointment to
refresh
Our memory of mother, and of
home.

entwined
A golden head against her bosom

1t may be distance, or grave she
- finds,
o. A man with furrowed face and
silvered brow.
But they are still her little ones,
as when
She braves the pangs of death
that they might live.
She periled all her life for them,
and then
Her overlooking heart and more
to give.
And we! What have we done to fill
her years?
How have we paid her sacrifice
and pain?
Oh, Father! for her love, her
hopes, her fears,
Have we any gift of recompense
not vain?
My mother, take these fragrant
flowers today,
In giving them pray that I may
be, -. ...
To you, ere Gods still touch takes

All, all that you have ere been to
me,
And if too late to win your loving
smile, ...' e. I'..-'}
And you have risen pure, and white,
and true, s,..
Twill only be for me a little while
Till I may come and be at rest
with'you.. - '1#''
And when mire eyes close in my
last long sleep,
To the strain Of that sweet song,
your lullaby.
Let me place my head upon your
breast, and keep. y"
