simply voice the sentiments of the
words in the days of the wal by
honest old Abe Lincoln when he
said: Labor is prior to and should
be superior to any consideration of
capital which employs labor" Now
give us a right foundation. You can
not begin to fix things at the top.
Some of you people are builders.
You know well that you do not start
to build a house at the roof tree. You
start at the foundation. So in any
industrial and political improvement
1t must begin at the foundation. And
that means 1t must begin in the ranks
of organized labor. And there it is
beginning and the politicians and
the great capitalists are recognizing
the fact. They are realizing that
there are such unions of working
men.
Then / believe there should be no
greater expediture of power on the
part of working people than enough
to procure the necessities of life and
many of the comforts and some of
the Injuries. (Great applause.) So
i say to you all get into the union
and let the union work ever to that
end.
Then again l say that the con-
ditions of the working class under
which they work should be improved.
We need to study the laws of SANTA
ton. The conditions under which
too many work beggar description.
When We consider the sweat shops
and the dangerous mines and the ter
rible conditions of many of the fac
tories of this land, in the east and the
south, where men and women go to
work, We realize that they work
under conditions where they are
gambling their lives. The stake is
too terrible a loss to mankind. And
all this is for what? A mere pittance
on which to live or rather to merely
exist.
Again / believe that we should
curb the rapacity of individuals in
this country who by reason of great
wealth have obtained possession of
great influence and of great power;
and possessions where they have
been able to grab everything in sight.
We need to curb that greed for
wealth in order to curb that capital
istic power by which they sieze the
land and the oil and the minerals
and nearly always in violation of
laws of the land. / believe that or
ganized labor is going to have some
thing to say about that and what you
say will be listened to when we have
the power to enforce u rights by
a strong union. We need to get to-
gether in order that we may elimi-
nate from public life some of the
leeches who are sucking the blood
out of the life of all they can reach
at the public crib. We are in a
chaotic condition today. We need
education and agitation for making
known the facts not fully known by
the people. We need to educate the

LABOR DAY CELEBRATION N ELY
BEST EVER HELD IN THE DISTRICT
A THOUSAND UNION MEN IN UNIFORM MARCH IN BIG PARADE
SOCIALIST CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS, A. GRANT MILLER.
MAKES SPLENDID .ADDREss-MAYOR MCDONALD WELCOMES
THE HOSTS OF LABOR TO THE CITY

The Labor Day celebration of 1910
In Ely has gone down in history as
one of the most successful affairs
ever held in eastern Nevada. The
entire population of the surround
ing territory turned out to do honor
to the occasion and when the hour
arrived for the beginning of the pro-
gram of the day the streets were
thronged with people and every avail
able vantage point was occupied with
a crowd of humanity to witness the
parade.
Following the arrival of special
trains from McGill and the mines the
big parade formed at Eighth and
Clark streets began to move with a
thousand union men in line, repre-
senting every industry in the district
The Steptoe Valley band lead the
procession followed by the various
unions in the following formation:
Lane Miners union, Carpenters
union of Ely; Painters and Paper
hangers union; Bricklayers and
plasterers' union; Building Laborers'
union; M~achinist's union of McGill;
Mill and Smeltermen's union of Nc
Gill; Carpenters union of McGill;
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers; members of the Ely
Fire department with hose cart;
mayor and members of the city
council in carriages.
A feature of the parade was the
float of the Campton Commercial
company which represented a camp
ing scene and which brought forth
much favorable comment.
The parade d%isbanded at the
speakers stand and after several
selections had been rendered by the
band Chairman Frank j. Cox, Sec
rotary of the local union of the West
ern Federation of Miners, introduced
Mayor Mcdonald who made a brief
address and heartily welcomed
the visitors to the city. A. Grant
Miller of Reno, the orator of the day
was then presented. and spoke at
some length upon labor questions.
Mr.. Miller is recognized as an au-
thority upon economic questions as
well as a leader in the labor move
ment and great interest was mani
fesed throughout. his remarks. In
view of this and at the request of
many the News herewith re%produces
in full the address of Mr.. Miller as
well as that of Mayor Mcdonald and
Chairman Cox.
Mayor McDonald's Remarks.
Mr.. President, ladies and gentlemen,
and fellow men: 1t is most fitting
that this day has been set aside by
the labor element of this country to
celebrate the dignity of labor. 1t is
proper that the bone and sinew OF
this community and or all the COM
munities of this land, should meet
together and celebrate this day.
Those who are the wage earners and
the toilers of the land-everybody
that works-all should meet here on
a common plane.
Without labor there is no pro-

COUNTIES DESIRE
MORE REVENUE
May Appeal to Legislature to
Give Counties Assessing and
Taxing Powers.
(Mail Special to The Advertiser.

Mail SPECIAL to The AdVertiser.)
HILO. August 22.-One matter that
VIII probably be drawn to the attention
of voters on this island during the pres
ent campaign, is the question of taxa,
ton, and Il is very likely there VII
be an act introduced, at the next ses-
sion Of the legislature, to again amend
the county act.
The county of Hawaii, owing to its
size, has more .jails and sehoolhouses
to keep in repair than falls, proportion
ately, to any other county and without
the corresponding increase in income
There are also more jailers, police and
district magistrates to pay The wet
weather here compels more repairs to
buildings as well as more repairs TO
roads, and the trouble is how to get
the best results with the money avail
able.
There is a pretty general opinion that
the county should have its own asses
sor, especially as there is large guam
tity of idle land on Hawaii that is
assessed as a nonproducer. If its taxa
ton value We're put at its market
value for agriculture or building lots,
then there would be an increase in reve-
nue.. the land might be put on the mar
ket and become still more valuable as
revenue producer when built upon or
utilized as farm or pasture land
Another point, and the one on which
there seems to be chance of a Joint
Maui and Hawaii fight is that the taxes
on corporations doing business on these
islands be turned over as county reve.
nue. and not to the Territory in Homo
lulu.
It is claimed that the land on the b 9
Island and the business done bv plan.
tations from the land enable their sue
cess and their profits, and that the
taxes should be used where the soil is
taxed by cultivation for production and
profit of the owners or lessees. In
short, the claim is that the tax money
is earned here and should be spent here
The subject is one that is likely to
| cause considerable debate in the legis-
lature, if not on the stump, and its
advocacy may be plainly set forth in
one or more of the party platforms.

ASKED SHERIFF
TO EAT POISON
An AGED Chinaman Requests
Jarrett to Test Some
Doubtful Pork.

Sheriff Jarrett is the mark Of a Chi
nese for consignment to the happy
hunting grounds.
Yesterday afternoon the sheriff was
invited TO partake of same greasy-look-
inc fried pork, handed to him by an
old Chinaman with the request that he
eat it 20 see whether it contained
nolson. The Chinaman made his request
in All seriousness.
Sheriff Jarrett is accustomed to hear
ing odd requests and suggestions, but
the one made 10 him by Lum Seong
was by all odds, the queerest. The
Chinaman approached the sheriff and
deputy sheriff while they were stand
ing on the steps of the station and
handed the package over to big Bill. :"
u likee You eat EN-. said he. 8 Ne
all same think no good The sheriff
took the package and smiled. His
smile is much like LII Artha 50 but
not so golden.
"You want to put the sheriff out of
commission" inquired Deputy Sheriff
Rose
u think so, yes, was the China,
man startling answer.
When the package was opened it
was found TO contain pieces Of fried
pork for which the aged possessor said
he had paid five cents. The sheriff at
this stage found it necessary to call
in the services of an interpreter to get
the straight of the request. Through
the interpreter the old Chinaman made
known that he had been in the habit
of purchasing fried pork at a Chinese
store on Maunakea street. A few days
ago after eating pork from this place
his hands and feet tingled and he be-
came hot and cold and had pains in
his stomach, accompanied by violent
vomiting. Some children had similar
symptoms Immediately after eating He
had bought more pork from the same
place and the same peculiar stomach
gripings followed. The Chinaman went
a little further in his explanations and
advanced the theory that the proprietor
of the store kept poison under his
counter and whenever the aged man
| came to buy, poison was put on the
| pork.
He expressed the belief that the
t package of pork in his hand was
| poisoned and he therefore, desired the
| sheriff to eat and make a test
"Well. | We heard of trying things
out on dog, but this trying it out on
the sheriff is the newest thing on the
market,' commented the sheriff as he
| sent the deputy sheriff with the pack
| age TO Territorial Chemist Blanchard to
test the pork slices.
