CATS RUINED HIS BUSINESS

In the late sixties and early
seventies there lived an old French
man in Virginia City, named Canaan,
who followed the occupation Of
buying, hauling and selling cord
wood. He insisted on cording the
wood he bought, and also cording
it when sold. He corded it hauled
it and recorded it and sold it for
the same price he paid for it, and
made money. After he retired
from business, he explained about
as follows:
"You see | buy re wood and cord

An UEDAUNTED DEMOCRACY

Here's to the undaunted and
unterriied democrats of Vermont.
OF all the democrats in our sister
hood of states, the Vermont demo-
Gratis are the pluckiest. Without
inspiration of hope. with sure and
certain defeat. always staring them
in tie faces, for over half a century,
the Vermont democrats have gone
to the polls rain or shine, and cast
their votes for the principles they
professed. The Vermont democrats
have just nominated their state
ticket, and inaugurated an active
campaign. Such democrats who
have continued for years in spite
of uninterrupted and overwhelming
defeat, to contend for what they
think is right and best, deserve to
win, and ultimately will. In 1872,
Vermont cast &c, 927 democratic
votes and in 1908, ll,496 votes a
gain of 500 in SO years. an average
of about Is a year. Vermont re-
publicans cast 4l,4Sl votes in 1872
and 1852 in 1908, a loss of 1929
in SO years, an avCIaCe Of "a a
year. The republican plurality is
2S,056. So il can be seen the
democrats are not losing ground,
and this is giving courage. At
this rate of gain by the democrats
and loss by the republicans, the
democrats have good reason to
expect, by remaining loyal, to
capture the state in 4Ol years. and
in 1912 there is every reason to
believe that the plucky Vermont
democrats will hand the electoral
vote of that state to the democratic
candidate for president. If the
democrats of the country every
where had such courage and de-
votion to principle that they have
in Vermont. and would always fight
for the right as against the wrong,
for principle rather than for self,
the democratic organization would
be eve more powerful and effective
than it now is.-Exchangc.

THE REPUBLICAN GOD

Theodore Roosevelt was the
father of conservation in this
country" said Clifford Pinchot at
the dinner of the Knife and Fork
club of Kansas City. That is
automatic. Theodore Roosevelt
was also the father of the DccIara-
ton of independence, the Massa-
chusctts Bill of Rights, the Enamel
patton Proclamation and the Gcttys-
burg speech. He invented the
steamboat, he built the railroads.
he was the father Of the telegraph
and telephone, and his immortal
words: Give me liberty or give
me death" are still the inspiration
of every patriotic American. Why
is Mr.. Pinchot so ~niggardly in his
praise? He talks like a rcactionary.

JOHN HUNTER

The young men of Elko are TAX
ing a laudable interest in politics
this year The last to come to the
front is John Hunter who tells our
readers elsewhere that he is an
independent democratic candidate
for Justice of the Peace of this
township. He will file his petition
under the Australian ballot law.
John Hunter has lived in Elko
all his life. He is known to every
body as an upright, honorable.
industrious young man. He was
educated in the Elko schools and
for the past few years he has con.
Quoted the Home Bakery.
He has arrived at the agc of
mature judgement and we have no
hcsitancy in saying that he has all
the qualifications necessary to make
an efficient Justice of the Peace
for this township. We commend
him to the earnest consideration of
the democratic voters of this town
ship at the November election.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD
INVESTIGATE

The Gazette charges that Gov
ernor Dickerson and Charles S.
ISprague, democratic candidate for
the cnngressiona! nomination, have
formed an alliance with the gamb-
ling element of the state. 1t also
charges hat within the last few
days Governor D~ickerson's agents
have given the gamblers to under
stand that in return for their sup
port they will have a friend at
court if Dickerson is elected gov
ernor.
The Gazette's charges may be
founded on fact or they may be
only the result of an over-heated
imagination. 1t has been stated
for some time that the governors
strength in Washoe county was con-
fined almost entirely to the gamb-
ling element and its allied interests
that do not make for good citizen
ship nor the upbulding of the state.
1t has also been frequently stated
that the governor is under
monetary obligations to that
element and is to a certain extent
controlled by it. These statements,
if true, lend color to the Gazettc's
charges.
This is a matter that the good
citizenship of the democratic party
should investigate thoroughly be-
fore the primary election. If the
governor is proven to be in an
alliance with the gamblers as
charged by the Gazette, the solid
citizenship of the democratic party
should rebukc him by supporting
Frank X. Nicholas for governor at
the primary election.
4 So far as Mr.. Spargue is con-
cerned, the writer has heard moth
ing to justify belief in the truth of
the Ga2ette's charges. If, how
ever, he is a party to the unhoIy
alliance, he should be given the
same medicine prescribed above
for Governor Dickcrson.

OBJECTION TO PRIMARY LAW

Some of the California Direct
Primary Law provisions, after
which the Nevada law is patterned
r meeting with objection.
especially in regard to the petition
clause. In speaking of the matter
the Sacramento Bee says.
Experience in California and
other states show the need of doing
away with the present cumbersome
requirements Of petiti0ning to
enable a candidate for a party
nomination to get his name upon
the primary ballot.
"The object to this requirement is
to prevent the loading of the ballot
with a multitude of candidates.
