A CALL TO ARMS

Editor Herald: 1.-THE oppressors are
going: the liberators are coming"
Thus wrote Victor Hugo If every
wage Garner will do his duty at the
polls on the 8th Of November oppres-
sion, boss rule and the tyranny of the
trusts, monopolies and combines Will
receive a mortal wound. In the pres
ent battle the corrupt laWless trusts,
monopolies, combines and the bosses
are arrayed on the side of special
privileges. Let no wage Garner be de-
ceiyed by the hypocritical declarations
Of those who have looted the jublic
treasury and imposed enormous bur-
dens upon the taxpayers and wealth
producers; those who have accumu-
lated rather than earned millions
upon millions by means of indirec-
ton; in word, plutocratlc anarchlsts
who are fighting against the wealth
nroducers. At this election no wage
Garner can afford to throw away his
vote or permit himself to be intimi-
dated by an arrogant and despotic
n1utocracy. Let not the blood of your
children cry in anguish over your be-
trayal of the august trust imposed
upon you. If man seeks to get you
to trade your vote, brand him as
Benedict Arnold and treat him as one
who would lead you into hopeless
slavery. Wealth producers of Amer
lea. be on your guard! Millions of
dollars will be spent to fasten the
shackles of wage slavery upon you.
TO the polls. We sons of TOLL Let your
reply to the oppressors be, From
henceforth we will declare for the CO.
operative commonwealth, under which
the producer of wealth will receive
the full product of his or her labor.

RIDDLES IN A CHURCH

Editor Herald: In an old church IN
Wales built hundreds of years ago
these inscriptions were found at one
end of the building which was heated
by a large CRATE over which stood a
high mantel, and on the iron surface
were the Ten Commandments.
Beneath the decalogue these letters
appeared:
PR VRYP r F C T NJ N
VRKP P T H S P r c P T S T n
Still lower down and just over the
CRATE were these:
If the B NJ T put:
If the B putting:
At that time the capital letters OF
the alphabet were termed great A,
great B and so on and the small let
ters small a, and so on, and period
was frequently termed full stop.
These two inscriptions after remain
ing undeciphered for over 100 years
were finally read by a passerby, who
supplied the letter e in the first lines
where necessary. When thus supplied,
the lines read:
Persevere ye perfect men
Ever keep these precepts ten.
The other lines being translated read:
If the crate be empty, put coal on;
If the CRATE be full, stop putting coal
on. N. o.

suFFRAeIsTs AND THE HOME

Editor Herald: Nine. Ozaki, wife of
the mayor of Toxic. Japan. who is
visiting America with her husband. is
quoted as saying in an interview that
she "does not believe in woman suf-
frage because it Is a woman's place
to remain at home and take care of
her family" She also says in the same
interview that she has been away
from her own home since May 10, MAX
ing a trip around the world, and will
not return home for some time" A
woman could vote lifetime without
being away from home as long as this
trip of Nine. Ozaki's has required.
1t will be noticed that the great ma
1ority of the anti-suffragists who are
announcing from the housetops that q
woman's place is at home are them
selves away from home when they
make this statement. A few genera
tions ago the duties Of the household
were so numerous and the families so
large that women found very little
time for work or recreation outside
but that period has passed away, and
the one who does not now find time for
great deal of both away from home
is the exception.

The people of this county are at last
in possession of all the evidence neoes-
sa1y to enable them to form a judg-
ment an Fredericks In the now cele-
brated forged will case.
All things considered, was his con-
duct such as befltted an honorable at
torney? Was 1t right or wrong2 Was
he faithful to the obligations of his
official duty? Did he make use of his
office as district attorney to extort a
mercllessly large fee in his capacity
as private attorney? Asked as district
attorney to investigate a wicked Of
fense against the law did he twist the
situation so mucr to his private profit
as to secure a contract giving him half
of the property coming to his clients
as heirs to a dead mans estate?
Such are the questions to be ans
wered. If Fredericks did these things,
he Is unfit to hold his office. If he
didn't do them, simple justice requires
that his innocence should be ascer-
tained and proclaimed.
What are the facts?
Let F'redericks take the stand. Hear
his testimony given in his Simpson
auditorium speech, as follows:
$50 you will see that will (meaning
the first will) was brought to me as a
private attorney; 1t was not claimed
to be a forged will; 1t was brought to
me to employ me as an attorney to
break It."
Now read John Gales statement,
made under oath:
"This position is false for the reason
that shortly after the first will was
filed, that is, shortly after July 8. 1906,
and before the second will was filed,
we called upon him at his office in the
courthouse and Mr.. Volkmor and my
self went with Fredericks to the clerk s
office and inspected the first will, and
the opinion was expressed at that time
by Mr.. Volkmor as well as myself, in
the presence OF Fredericks, that the
codicils to the first will were forgeries." !"
On August 20 the second will was
filed. John Gales, husband of Eliza
beth King, daughter of Michael King,
whose estate was in controversy, fur
ther swears:
within two or three days thereafter
we all came in and called upon Mr..
Fredericks in his office in the court
house, and Mr. Volkmor and myself
went with Mr.. Fredericks, as in the
case of the first will. down to the
clerks office to inspect the second will,
which we did, and Mr.. Volkmor and
myself, as we'll as Mr.. Fredericks,
agreed that the second will bore all the
appearance of a forgery"

THE FOOL PEOPLE

Editor Herald: The vote in Maine
that the reformers are still glorying
over was in part the protest of the
people against being ruled by Wall
street. So they turned down the Re-
publieans and put the Democrats in
power. And Wall street simply laughs
and the stock market even gets
stronger when news of the "revolu-
ton" in Maine comes in. oh, the fool
people!
If Maine had turned its back on the
two old corrupt parties and voted in a
Socialist governor you can bet your
bottom dollar that Wall street would
not have laughed. c. C. CARTER.

them many dollars. But women con-

decorative. Feathers are decorative
when the original owner-the live bird

I KILLED A ROBIN
I killed a robin. The little thing,
With scarlet breast and glossy wing,
That comes in the apple tree to sing.
1 flung a stone as he twittered there;
only meant to give him a scare.
But off 1t went-and hit him square
A little fiutter-a little cry
Then on the ground I saw him lie;
didn't think he was going to die.
But as watched him soon could see
He never would sing for you and me
Any more on the apple tree.
Never more in the morning light;
Never more in the sunshine bright,
Trilling his song in gay delight
And I'm thinking every summer day
How never, never I can repay
The little life that took away!

GOOD SPRINGS ZINC
MINES PLEASE EXPERT

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 9.-That the zinc
attractive is the word brought from
that camp by J. B. Jenson, mining en-
gineer, who has been looking after the
interests Of several companies who are
operating there. Some of the mines
produce a zinc ore of remarkable pur-
ity, and in some cases it is necessary to
sink only ten feet to get into pay ma
terial, making it relatively easy and
inexpensive to open q mine.
The Yellow Pine mine, which is one
OF the famous zinc producers OF the
camp was discovered by man who
thought he was opening silver pros
pect. In doing assessment work he
was following a small streak Of silver
ore, but the ground was hard and he
decided to complete the assessment
work by sinking in an easy place. He
completed the work in what he be-
lieved to be white limestone. When an
expert told him that the stuff he had
on his dump was 50-per-cent zinc ore
he refused to believe it.
But such it proved to be, and the
property has since produced thousands
of tons of it at good profit.
In some of the veins is found lead
zinc ore as well as the pure zinc ore.
That which contains the two metals
in combination presents a problem
of treatment which has not yet been
fully solved, but it is believed that
it will soon be worked out. The pure
zinc ore is shipped in crude form to
the zinc smelters, where it now brings
an attractive price The CRANKY Zinc
company of st. Louis has recently
signed contracts for the outputs of sew
eral of the mines. including the Prairie
Flower and the Milford, both of which
are new properties brought in by Jesse
Knight, a nephew of the Tintio wizard.

AUSTIN, New, Jan. 9.-Radical and
important changes in the mineraliza-
ton at depth in the camp of Austin
are the first contribution of the new
year to the already high hopes of op-
orators in local mines.
In the Panamint vein the deep sink
ing of the Austin Manhattan company
has traVersed the lean horizon OF Sill
yer sulphides and is coming into heavy
deposits of lead. This is taken TO inul-
cate that at depth the Austin mines
will go on a lead base instead or a
copper as was the case at Butte. The
vein matter at the S00-foot level on
the Panamint assays about $50 in sill
yer and shows a lead content that VIII
give easy concentrates of y per cent
The cross-cut punctured the vein in
the narrowest spot, and drifts elther
way will go into heavier minerallzed
sections of the pay shoot The pres
ence of lead is welcomed by the mine
operators, as it not only means added
value to the tonnage, but simplifies
and cheapens the work of extracting
the bullion from the rock.
In the Jack Pot high gold values are
appearing In masses of white iron that
have changed the appearance of the
quartz ledge to a literal ledge of white
bronze metal The silver content
shows no sign of diminishing.
Higher values than ever have been
found on the Hardy mine in the north
and south ledge system.
The more depth attained on the Peer
less lease in Midas Flat shows that
the sulphide zone out there will in all
respects be as rich as it was on the
Lander hill
The White-Bull Mines company, a
corporation composed of Cleveland
capitalists has bought an important
group of claims in New York canyon
and will do heavy mining this year.
