SEN. GEO.. PYNE IS SUM-
MONED BY GRIM REAPERS

After battling with death for
several weeks, Senator George ID.
Pyne answered the final summons
yesterday morning in a sanitarium
at Santa Cruz, where he was a
patient. The end was expected,
for the best medical skill on the
coast, which had been called in on
the case, pronounced several days
ago that there was no hope. At
the bedside when the end came
were three sisters, Mrs. Joseph
Stenson and Miss Minnie and
Gertrude Pyne and a brother,
Frank Pyne. Mr.. Stenson departed
yesterday morning for Santa Cruz.
1t is thought the remains will be
buried in the Holy Cross cemetery
at San Francisco beside the grave
of his father and mother. The
news of George Pyne's demise was
indeed sad intelligence To the
people of Southern Nevada, where
he was we'll known. For many
years he practiced law at GoldfclC
and at the last legislature wa!
president of the senate. During
the absence of Lieutenant and Act
ing Governor Denver S. Dickersor
a month ago, Mr.. Pyne oficiatcC
as the states chief executive dur
ing his absence.
He was a man with many friend
and his, honesty of purpose in hi
dealings with his fellow mer
brought him friends by the score
As had often been stated, he wa.
loved even by his enemies.
George Pync was a native Of
Virginia City and his advancement
in this world was made agains
many odds. At the time he starte,
to study law he was employed il
one of the COmstOck mines, an,
often while at work would use hi
spare moments in reading Law
books. Once admitted to practic
before the courts of Nevada h
made rapid Roadway and the hi
career was ended, he was at tn
top of his profession. May he res
in peace.-Tonopah Bonanza.

An Open LETTER
Reno Nevada, July 18th, 1910.
Hon. c. H. Mcintosh,


Hon. c. H. Mcintosh,
Dear Sir:
While here in this city, my at
tention was called to your open let
ter addressed to the Honorable
James G. Sweeney, L. L. Hudson
and myself and published in the
Tonopah Miner July 10th. 1910.
In this letter, you state that there
are four announced candidates for
the Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate from Nevada,
being the gentlemen whom you have
addressed in your letter.
In your letter you make this
proposition: That we. Mr.. Pitt.
man, Judge James G. Sweeney, Mr..
L. l.. Hudson. and the undersigned,
c. II. Mcintosh, do meet with two
friends each in Carson City at the
earliest practical date and then and
there cast lots to determine which
three shall withdraw from the race,
thus insuriLg harmony within the
party; each and every one of US
then and there pledging his loyalty
and active support to the candidate
thus selected to carry forward the
fight"
positively, firmly and irrevocably
decline to accept your proposition
and in support of my course urge
the following reasons:
Your insinuation to the effect
that a contest between the four
gentlemen named for the honor OF
representing the great Democratic
party at the coming election would
disturb the harmony Of the party
and engender bitterness is not
founded in fact or reason. AS you
say, each of the gentlemen named
is an honorable. courageous mar
who holds the interest of the part,
above that of self. Such being the
case, we are but submitting GU,
names to the voters of our part,
for the sole purpose of determining
which of us is the popular choic,
of u own party and the one tina
will most surely bring about the
success of the party and the in
auguration of those principles which
we deem most vital to the life Of
our government and the welfare OF
its people If either you. or Judge
Sweeney, or Mr.. Hudson, is tn,
most popular and the stronges
candidate, then | desire such candi
date to represent the Democrat,
party in the ensuing election
While the Republican party
strength depends upon money, tn,
Democratic party's strength de
ponds upon the popularity of I'll
candidates and the only way that W,
can ascertain the strength of /,
democratic candidate is by submit
ting his name 20 a vote of his party.
Your proposition that we pledge
ourselves to each other seems en-.
tirely unnecessary from any honor.
able, courageous candidate. A
defeated candidate who would not
support his victorious opponen,
without a pledge could claim little
value for his pledge.
But there are more important
reasons why | decline to accept
your proposition.
1t has been the chief cardinal
principle Of our party from its in

HOW THE TARIFF PROTECTS LABOR

Do not the people who made the
protective tariff tells US fiat footed
tht the tariff was ml1a to prot ect
American labor and for no other
purpose? This is true from the
fact that in every instance the
makers of this tariff gave us their
solemn word that it is so.
But now what is really amazing
for US to find is that after all of
this assurance tine committee of
social workers appointed to investi-
gate the condition of the steel trust
report to US that those employees are
working under conditions of almost
unbelievable hardship and degrade
ton, and that the way they live is
a disgrace to civilization.
A large majority of these pro-
tected American laborers work
twelve hours a day. Almost half
of them work not only twelve hours
a day but seven days a week. More
than half of them are paid Is cents
an hour. More than a third are
paid less than IA cents an hour.
In consequence Of these long hours
and scant pay, says the committee,
these men are under conditions
that are ''intolerable for human
beings"
What has become of the millions
and the hundreds of millions that
the protective tariff has taken out
of the pockets OF the people and
turned over to protect American
labor1"
Labor hasn't got it, that's fiat.
Labor is ground down into the dirt
by tie steel trust. / is paid the
lowest penny on which it can live.
1t is worked the longest hours on
which it a keep awake. 1t is
housed and fed worse than Missouri
hogs are housed and fed. Yet it
has an immortal soul. 1t has inalien-
able rights. 1t is made up of free
men and American citizens. The
Declaration of independence was
made for it, and Old Glory waves
over it.
What a travesty on civilization!
What a mockery in the name OF
protectionl
Andrew Carnegie, though, has
gotten out of that protection so
many hundreds of the peoples
money that he can't even give the
interest away as fast as it comes in.
He has planted libraries with his
name on them at almost every cross
roads. and sprinkled a lot of them
over Europe for good measure, AMI
still his bottomless Golfers are owe
flowing. More than that he boast:
that from his steel works he ha!
made three OF four other million,
aires-all out of protection tc
American labor" And they meet
occasionally, these Pittsburg mil.
lionaires made rich out of "pro.
tected American labor" and hire
naked chorus girls to dance in
decent dances on tables laid at $50
to $50 a plate, afterwards cooling
them off with shower baths of cham
payne to testify their ability to ap.
preciate the good things an indul.
gent government has given them.
