RECIPROCITY VOTE A TEST

We trust that Senator Penrose has good
ground for his estimate of at least sixty safe
votes for Canadian reciprocity in the Senate
Certainly the issue has been clearly drawn and
the country demands ratification Of the agree
ment drafted by representatives of the two in
terested governments Every senator will be put
to the test when the vote is taken. The Demo
Gratis will have to show whether they are big
enough to support Republican President who
they know is working for the welfare of the
nation The Republicans will have to abandon
fractional differences and be progressive in prac-
tce as well preaching.
The situation is unique in American public
life. President Taft knows that he is insisting
upon policy that may reflect credit upon the
Democratic party, since it was only with the aid
of Democratic House of Representatives that
he was enabled to make any progress Such
Democritc leaders as Chairman Underwood of
the ways and means committee and Speaker
Clark knew in urging their partsans to support
reciprocity that the result might be a tremen-
dous boom for the popularity of the man who is
sure to run against their own candidate for the
presidency in 1912
The men OF large calibre in both parties have
risen above politics and regardless of conse-
quences other than those that will contribute to
the benefit of the American people, are firm in
their advocacy of a great project.
The Record Union of Sacramento squarely
hits the nail in the head when it says:
'Only the demagogues and trust servitors are
opposed to reciprocity, and when the roll is call
ed we shall be able to identify them by no mis-
taken Judgment Unfortunately, they will have
variety of excuses. but whether the man who
votes against the bill be Root, or La Toilette, or
Bailey, or McCumber Lorimer we shall
know that he holds local prejudices or special in
terests above the veal of the nation
President Taft has had no thought of per-
sons, politics or parties. With frmness and bold
ness he has gone ahead with his program in
manner to compel admiration and discomfit those
republicans who have been making a lot of noise
about their progressiveness, but have lacked the
courage to be genuine as he has been
There is no denying the fact that reciprocity
has long been the goal of the republican party
Likewise there is no denying the fact that it's
realization has always been delayed by the op-
position of interests exertng their selfish inhu-
ences through suppliant representatives and sen
ators, the majority of whom have been repub-
LEANS
''Under the conditions of it's present consd
GRAFTON, therefore, the issue belongs to neither
party. Circumstances have really taken it out of
politics, and every man must stand alone and
have his motives subjected to a scrutiny that will
take no account of party service.
I'VE sincerely trust that the republican SEN
ate will vote decisvely for the bill as the
democratic house did and we consider the ques-
ton as to which party receives the credit of no
Importance whatsoever

JUDICIAL BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT

For fear that the following article on ''Judi-
clal Branch OF Government" has not been read
by the legal fraternity of the state, and no res
ponse made by any bar association we reproduce
the same and write contradiction to the article:
Does the judicial branch Of our state gov
eminent perform its functions, as provided by
the constitution and laws of the state?
Section il, of article 6, of the constitution
OF Nevada, reads as follows: 'tThe justices of
the supreme court and the district judges shall
be ineligible to any office, other than judicial
office, during the term for which they shall
have been elected, and all other elections or ap
polntments OF any such judges by the people,
legislature or otherwise, during said period to
any office other than judicial, shall be void
In the face of this constitutional provision
the legislature of this state made the justices
OF our supreme court code commissioners to
revise and compile the laws of the state and
provided them with compensation for filling such
offices. Statutes 1907, Page 800. Our supreme
justices accepted these Offices and ever since have
been filling the same in conjunction with the
offices OF justices OF the supreme court. It is
alleged that the business of the supreme court
is about year behind and that branch of our
state government is not fully performing its
functions
Some time ago the district Judge of Esmer-
aida county conceived the idea of having some
litigation, pending in his court heard by three
judges, outside of his district, whereupon the
respective counsel to such litigation subscribed
to such procedure, and now three Of our district
judges are engaged, while Nye county is
suffering for the want of judge, with many
cases that have been submitted for some time
undecided.
Has the supreme court any right to act as
code commissioners?
Have the district court judges any right to
neglect their duties to act as arbtrators at the
expense of the public?
The Bonanza will be obliged for an answer
to these questions from anyone.

MAJESTIC TRIO

IDORA TONIGHT
SINGING AND INSTRUMENTAL
ARTIST WILL BE AT NEW
THEATER TONIGHT.

The Idora theater will have a
change of vaudeville tonight when
the Majestic Trio will appear for
the first time in this city. This
trio is composed of a bass, baritone
and contra tenor, with stringed
instruments as accompaniment. The
Goldfield Tribune has the following
to say in regard to the Majestic
Trio:
"Goldfeld theater-goers were Civ
en- surprising musical treat at
the Hippodrome last evening when
the Majestic Trio, composed of
Mack, Smith and Brooks, all finished
vocalists, came on for their act.
Each is possessed of an excellent
singing voice, and the combination
of bass, baritone and contra tenor,
especially in The Rosary" proved
more than pleasing. Their program
| consisted of popular and classical
selections with guitar and banjo
accomplishments, and they were
given unlimited applause"
An excellent line of pictures are
also in store for those who attend
the show this evening and a dol
lars worth of entertainment is
promised for ten cents. Don't for
get our seats are as comfortable
as those of a Pullman standard.

CANNOT BUY INSPIRATION

We are not at all in sympathy with the eff
fort being made by several Eastern papers to
obtain new patriotic song which in time might
take the place of "The Star-Spanged Banner
the national anthem.
What hope there be that any made-to-
order song would ever suppant in popular es-
TEEN the inspired work of Francis Scott Key,
which for nearly hundred years has been po-
tent to thrill Americans and command the res
pect of other people wherever its strains have
ben heard?
Key expected neither fame nor financial re-
ward when he wrote 'NThe Star-Spangled Ban
ner." As he paced the deck of cartel ship
during the bombardment of Fort McHenry and
after a night of fearful uncertainty saw with the
first break of dawn the flag of his country still
waving IN triumph, he obeyed the inspiration of
his own heart and composed an anthem powerful
and gripping inits patriotism.
The offer of prize never call forth such
an expression. Indeed we fail to appreciate the
need of new national song, and believe that
effort should be directed toward impressing all
with the Importance of learning the words Of
'The Star-Spangled Banner = = Sacramento
Union.
