NEGRO SHOOTS AT .
 NIGHT MARSHAL

At o'clock this morning an un- at Night Marshal E. L. King, the bull let passing through his coat and miss ing his body by scarcely an inch. The shooting occurred in the alley at the raer of Menty X Dollahite's store, the negro firing when standing within six feet of the officer.
 Mr King states that he had just completed making an inspection trip through the alley and was putting away his dark lantern preparatory to going out on the street, when he glanced up and saw negro standing partially concealed by a fence with a pistol pointed straight toward him. Mr King endeavored to dodge behind the fence and draw his own weapon, but tripped and fell over an obstruc- tion, the negro firing at the same instant. The officer recovered and fired three shots in the direction of the fleeing negro, but never saw him again. Mr. King was unable to get a good view of the would-be assassin, but says he is sure it was a negro or a white man with his face black ened, and wore an old-style derby hat.
 It was discovered this morning that the business house of T. R. Douglass & Sons was forcibly entered from the rear door last night, but noth- ing was missing and no other at tempted burglares have been report ed.

NIXON FOR

With George S. Nixon in the SEN
ate of the United States the next six
years Nevada will be ably represent
ed in the upper branch of congress.
What this state needs in the greatest
law making body of the world is a
thorough going. keen, level headed,
aggressive business man who reads
the handwriting on the wall, and
when the time comes for action is
on the spot to secure for his state
such recognition and appropriations
for public Improvements as are
available or within the reach of
possibility.
Every thinking man within the
boundaries of this commonwealth
knows that Mr.. Nixon is a business
man first, last and all the time. The
same intelligent, conservative meth
DDS that made him a master of
finance in private affairs, have been
applied in his official career with
signal success and he has returned
from the national capital ready for
the searchlight. During the time
Mr.. Nixon has been in Washington
much important legislation has been
enacted. For these many beneficial
measures the Republican party is res
ponsible and in their enactment the
Republican senator from Nevada
bore no Insignificant part.
In addition to his splendid bust
ness qualifications Mr.. Nixon is a
Nevadan. This state is his home.
Here his children were born and
reared. He made his money in Ne
vada and has invested ii in Nevada.
When he goes to the legislative halls
of the nation ii is as a representa-
tive of his neighbors and friends and
the people of the state. Their in
terests are his interests and the well

Here's one that's just as true as II
1t were copied verbatim out of a
spelling book-true, Notwithstanding
that the names were omitted owing
to a fool promise that one was talked
into making before the story was
narrated.
An excited man rushed into the
Office of a banker with his mouth full
of words.
Say" he painted, you remember
well enough that ] was in here for
two hours this morning, don't you
-mebby two hours and a half, but
two hours anyhow"
The banker nodded that he recall
ed that fact.
"Uh, huh went on the excited
man, slightly relieved, land those
two hours or more included the hours
between 10 and IL o'clock, didn't
they? You remember that, don't
your"
All, I'm glad you remember. Now,
II my wife calls up and asks you II
| was here right in sight every min
ute of the time from 10 TO IL, you
could tell her so truthfully enough,
couldn't you Good, What do you
think! You know that fellow Smitt
that lives right next door to us?
Always seemed like a nice fellow,
but what do you s'pose he did this
morning? On his way by the house
he tells my wife that I've Just been
arrested for insulting a woman down
on the public square about 1920,
and that | then got into a fight with
her husband, who managed to push
my face for me before the police got
there.
'Smitt thought it'd be a great joke

II? And now my wife's called me up
and won't believe there wasn't my
thing to It,. Says the reports may
have been exaggerated, but surely
something must have happened.
Gawd! I'm glad you're able<to prove
an alibi for me. Well. | must get
along. This things upset me so that
I've had to let my work Just sort of
slide"
The banker waited for the wife TO
call him up, intending to do every-
thing In his power toward the ae-
quittal of his friend.
! In about three-quarters OF an
hour the friend came rushing I'm
again. This time he was smiling and
was less excited.
Its all right" he said. "Here,s

IMMIGRATION

The commissioner of immigration
last week issued an estimate of the
total number of immigrants admitted
to the United States last year, show
ing a total of 1,635,545, an increase
of 2S3,759 yer the previous year.
The increase In immigration may be
taken as an index of comparative con-
ditions in foreign lands and in the
United States. Several years age,
when the panic came on, there was a
falling off of immigration, especially
among the laboring classes, and man
of those were here returned to their
native land. Now the tide Is turned
toward America again. 1t indicates
that America still looks good as a
place of residence. The opportunity
to work, to draw wages for that work
and to live in as good or better style
than that accustomed to In foreign
lands is here, and nobody knows 1t
any better than the men and women
who leave their native country to
join their friends in the United States
Things may not look just as bright
to the natives of America as they
would like to have them, but the fact
that foreigners are coming to make
their homes here may be taken as
prima facie evidence that general
conditions In America are better than
they are In the old country.-Ex.

ton and seeking a place IN the cleo
tion ballot.
1T is not good public policy to
make candidacy for Office expensive
and troublesome. This tends to shut
out honest men of small means, and
play into the hands of grafters and
tools of corporations, who expect to
profit crookedly by all political out
lays.
1T is a sound principle that the
Office should seek the man, and not
the man the Office. And there is
neither sense nor consistency in call
ing upon the best citizens to serve
the public as a matter of duty and
at a personal sacrifice to. themselves,
and at the same time requiring them
to assume the attitude of supplieants
for signatures TO a petition, in order
that they may get their names on
either the primary or the election
ballot.
THE principle of the direct pri-
mary is not involved in the objection
to needless petitioning. Nor is 1t to
the discredit of the direct primary
idea that in Pennsylvania and other
states certain candidates have spent
large sums of money in campaigning
for party nominations at primaries.
The law should not only forbid more
lated outlay. but also provide such
seyere penalties for violation as to
prevent anything OF the kind"

OBJECTION TO PRIMARY LAW.

Some of the California direct
primary law provisions, after which
the Nevada law is patterned, are
meeting with objection especially in
regard to the petition clause. In
speaking of the matter the Sacrament
to Bee says:
Experience in California and
other states shows the need of doing
away with the present burdensome
requirements of petitioning to en-
able a candidate for a party nomi-
nation to get his name upon the pri-
mary ballot
THE object of this requirement is
to prevent the loading of the ballot
with a multitude of candidates. But
petitioning involves a burden of ex-
pense and trouble, and its object Is
better attained by dispensing with
petitions and requiring merely the
filing of a bond.
Such a bond calls for the payment
of a stipulated sun in case the candi-
date shall fail to obtain a certain
proportion of the votes cast. This is
sufficient to prevent irresponsible
persons from getting their names on
the ticket.
Petitions should also 10 done
away with in the case of Independent
candidates having no party nomina-

the White Pine county bar, has an
nounced his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for Judge of the
ninth judicial district, and for the
past several days has been busily en-
gagged in the preparation of his nomi-
nation certificates. MIR. Walker is a
pioneer in the legal profession in the
county, having had the field all to
himself for several years, and in con-
sequence he probably has as large an
acquaintance throughout the district
as any candidate whu will come be-
fore the voters during the present
campaign. He has served the county
in the capacity of district attorney,
has represented clients in many of
the most important legal contests
In our courts, is a progressive, ener-
getic citizen, and his friends are
numerous who believe his qualifica-
ton and legal attachments are such
as to entitle him to the considera-
ton of the Republicans of the coun-
ty at the coming primaries.

REPUBLICANS ARE READY.

can make a winning canvass on the
tariff this year sounds strange to any
body who remembers the wrangles
among the Democrats of the two
branches of congress when the Payne
act was before them. Many Demo-
Gratis in each chamber broke away
from their titular leaders. The split
among them on the tariff was worse
than 1t was among the Republicans,
while the Democrats lack the Repub-
licans' rallying power in a crisis. On
many divisions in the Senate Aldrich
had more Democrats on his side than
went with their chosen spokesman,
Culberson. In that tariff fight the
Democratic House leader was unable
to lead. 1t was a go-as-you-please
fight among the Democrats. Repub-
lican Emergencies attracted more no.
tiee by the country, for the Repub-
liean party was dominant. and was
responsible for legislation. But the
division among the Democrats struck
nearer to the middle of their party.
And, moreover, the Democrats lack
the intelligent. forceful leadership
which the Republicans always have
in great ~exigencies.
The Democrat who. at this day.
predicts Republican defeat forgets
the record which the Republican
party made in enacting constructive
in the recent session. In
the special session the Republicans
passed a tariff act on which they are
willing to make a canvass this year..
Half a dozen measures of large con-
sequence were passed by the Repub-
licans in the session which closed in
June. These recent measures, or
some of them, are particularly popu-
lar in the insurgent region. The in
surgents are claiming most of the
for The ebonin1 80 tho ra;1urou
and the postal savings bank
bill. Those measures will figure in
the campaign in the prairie states.
Long before election day arrives the
line of separation between the Re
publieans and the insurgents will
have disappeared. Every insurgent
convention and candidates indorses
the national administration, and the
administration has stood all along
with the stalwart element of the party
reason existed a few
ago for hope for the Demo-
has been d~ispelled. The session
was not only not barren, but it enact
ed more important legislation than
any other single session since the
civil war and reconstruction days.
On that record the Republican party
will enter the campaign with
confidence. The Republicans have
the issues, the record and the
leaders. A large majority of the in
telligent, progressive and public
spirited people of the country are on
the Republican side. The fact that a
Democratic victory for congress this
year would give a setback to all
branches of trade, even though a
Democratic house would be power
less to enact anything, will impress
itself more and more on the public
consciousness as election day draws
near. There is no good reason to be-
lieve that the series of Republican
congressional victories which began
in 1894 will be interrupted in 1910.

1910 will go down in history as a
Republican year in Nevada, notwith-
standing the claims of the opposition
who have been sweeping the country
