the strongest implement in the hands
vi INSCRIPTIONS men to achieve their
ends while at the same time appear
ing to cater to the wishes of the
masses. The application has shown
that 1t is one Of the most cunningly
contrived instruments devised by a
political machine to override the will
of the people. The result in Oregon
has shown this in the clearest coiors.
Missouri gave a popular vote to JOS

yet "Gumshoe" Stone with a miner
ivy vote went to Washington. Folk
carried ~ per cent of the popular
vote as preferential candidate, but
Stone with only % per cent of the
vote succeeded in electing legis-
lature that returned him to the
United States senate. This was a
defeat OF the wish of the people as
clearly expressed at the polls. The
thwarting of the vote of vast ma
jority of the electors demonstrates
what may be done in face of the
fact that the deluded masses thought
they had adopted law by which
they would gain direct representation
in the United States senate. In Ore

RAILROADS HAVE SUFFERED.

Nevada has been exceedingly I'M
fortunate this year in the way of SER
ious floods. The worst sufferers
have been the railroads and for
n arly ten days not one trans-con-
tineItal tain has crossed the state.
Both the Southern and West
ernern Pacific railroads have been
tied III in the northen counties by the
washouts, which have destroyed the
tracks for miles along the Humboldt
river,
Never lefore, at least not since
the old Central Pacific, (Which is
now the Southern Pacific) was built
has there been anything to compare
with the havoc played to the tracks
and road bed as has been the case
this year Heretofore, the Southern
Pacific has suffered very little from
floods IN Nevada; but the elements
have been cutting some rather I'M
usual pranks all over the world this
year and has set the superstitious
tongues to wagging.
In the respect that no lives have
been sacrificed, perhaps the Nevada
railroads have been fortunate after
all. TIE property loss has been ex-
trcmely heavy, but what is that in
comparison to the loss Of human be-
lngs?
Nevada is often referred to as a
barren waste; but it cannot be dis
puted hat we have had plenty Of
moisture to spare this year.

WHERE NIXON STANDS.

Some of the Dickerson journals in
this state are making frantic en-
deavor 10 make the people believe
that the steps taken to test the va
lidity OF he primary election law has
been at the .nstisation of Senator
Nixon; that Nixon does not wish to
go before the voters with a primary
law on the statute hooks.
IT course, this is all buncombe:
done with the hope Of misleading
the voters of Nevada and with de-
signs toward entrenching the Dick
crson machine for two more years.
Senator Nixon has declared his
views on the pr mary election law in
statement issued some weeks ago,
when he endpav0red to make it clear
that he had no objection to the pri-
mary sle"i.on law remaining as 1t
IA which should tc sufficient evil

ssitd in having the 'aw declared in

Senator Nixon has also made the

able. the voter to enjoy a larger in
