DISTRICT COURT

At 4:30 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon Jack Maher appeared in
court with Attorney Gedney and
demurred to the Indictment agairst
him upon substantially the same
ground satated in the damurrers
filed in the case of the State
against M. B. Johnson and George
Foragor indicted for conducting
gambling game. After argument
the demurrer was submitted ard
taken under advisement by Judpe
Taber until IL o'clock Friday
morning.
At II o'clock this forenoon
court convened and Judge Taber
rendered his decision on the
demurrcrs filed in the case of the
state against Maher, johnson and
Foragor. An Sing and All jim: the
gambling. Judge Taber discussed
the cases and law applicable to
them at considerable length and
sustained the iemurrers in each
case AM ordered the case re-
submitted to the present grand
jury.
The ground upon which the
demurrers were sustained was that
the indictments failed to charge
that the gambling games were
conducted or played for money,
checks, property or representatives
of value. He held that the omis-
sion of these words was fatal to
the indi Elements.
In holding the defendants to
appear before the grand jury,
Judge Tahcr held them under the
bail already given and in force.
In rendering his decision Judge
Taber said that the sustaining of
the indi ctments went against every
fiber of his make up but that he
could not under the decision of the
appellate court of Oklahoma in
n similar case 60 ne to any other
conclusion than that indictments in
all the gambling games were de-
fective because they did not allege
that the games were conducted and
p!cye,; fcr money, checks, property
or representatives Of value.

RAILROAD BUSINESS IS HEAVY

Fifty more men arrived yester-
day at the Southern Pacific yards
and were at once assigned to
thei. various duties. This looks
as though the company meant just
exactly what they said VIXEN they
stated that the force at work in
the shops would be more than
doubled in short time. There
are now more men employed by
the company than were at work at
the beginning of the dictfiulty and
there are more arriving all the
tine. Sparks would be hard put to
find accommodations for the men
that are employed in the shops and
there will be great deal of new
building done when the strike is
over and these men come over
town to secure accommodation for
themselves and in number of
cases for their families.
Business on the road is still
heavy and the crews have all that
they can do in getting tie traffic
over the road. BY the opening of
Spring when the work trains will
be put into commission, there will
be a big demand for road men and
several that arc now working will
be set up.-Sparks Tribune.

BUILDING THE t. 6 P. R. R

The Palisadc correspondent of
the Eureka Sentinel gives the fol
lowing in regard to the progress
made in rebuilding the Eureka &
Palisade railroad:
There is not much in the way of
news to send you from PaIisadc

operations. The contractors have
completed the bridge across Pine
Greek and are now at the mouth
Of the canyon where the heaviest
construction work in rebuilding
the railroad will have to be done.
The road is heing built over a
new survey through the canyon
that takes it on the east instead
of the west sid and brings il
back into the old road at Tom
JewClps ranch. About 100 feet of
trestle and bridge work will have
to be built in one stretch in the
canyon. and considerable other pile
work done. The pile driver has
been rugged up on car so that il
will be able to handle this work
and make good progress.
The road has been graded and
the rails laid to the mouth of the
canyon, about two and n half miles
from Palisade.
One gang Of men is engaged in
the canyon taking out the rails
from the old road. while another
gang and Is teams are at work one
mile further up the road throwing
up grade. Between so and Gt
men are employed.
The contractors have laid The

DELIVERING BEETS
TO FAc1oRP

The first wagonload of home
grown beets was received at the
sugar factory the other day. They
were grown by I. j. Cutler, &c
the Bailey ranch. and went 1874
per cent sugar and 1914 puritv-an
exceptional showing for any
locality. and proving conclusively
that this section, as regards soil,
climate and water, is we'll adapted
to the culture of the beet. a
! showing of II per cent sugar is
regar ded as pretty good back east.
The carload of beets recently re-
ceived from the Percival ranch at
Keno, however, went even higher
in sugar, testing 1877 sNccharine
content.
S. r. Oppenheim who with an
assistant does all the laboratory
work at the factory, is one of the
best men in his line in the West.
He makes test Of every wagon
LOAD OF heets that is driven up to
the factory and of every carload
received from the railroad. The
method Of making this test is
quite interesting. When the
wagon is driven up to the platform
a fork is plunged into the load of
beets from the side. and the
sample is taken by raising the fork
from the bottom of the wagon
The fork takes up about rs pourG
OF beets. These are put in g
basket and Tabled, and taken to the
labortOry. In making the test ;
slice is taken from each beet in thu
basket. The test is conclusive by
the time the chemist is through
with his end of the job.
The factory will begin making
sugar some time after the 2Otl
December-the exact date not
being set yet. They are talking

Trust Adjustment

The decree entered by the district
court at Toledo for the dissolution Of
the so-called electric trust is the Off
cial confirmation OF the plan of reor-
ganization agreed upon, between the
defendant companies and the depart
ment. of justice. in accordance with
the Supreme court opinions in the Oh
and Tobacco cases. While 1t antici-
pates the final disposition Of those
more complex organizations, it follows
directly upon the lines there laid
down 1t thus justifies the conclusion
that the Supreme courts ruling has
both given vitality to the antitrust law
and shown the possibility OF adjusting
business to its requirements without
destruction or disturbance.
The present decree breaks up that
combination among the electric-supply
companies which constitutes an actual
monopoly, dissolves the holding com
pany by which the monopoly was sus-
tanned, and compels each OF the great
concerns to carry on its own business
in its own name. without the sacrifice
OF any substantial and legitimate right
OF business or of property. 1t is SIM
ply an example OF the adaptation Of
business methods TO the reasonable
requirements of law and morals and
of public policy.
Similar action has already been TAX
en- by other large combinations and
will be followed by yet others, like
the "Bathtub trust" against which a
decree of dissolution has Just been
entered. What seemed an impossible
problem will thus find peaceful solu-
ton, and out of all this agitation we
shall get better business methods and
greater general security. under the
reign of law.

Administration is Riqht.

The public lands convention at Den
yer declared for development" the
phrase used by the exploiting element
in their campaign for unrestricted ex-
ploitation OF the public domain. The
presidents answer is that his con-
seryation policy will not retard devel-
opment of the right kind. Or as Sec
rotary Fisher put 1t epigrammatical-
ly: Prices prohibiting development
would be inimical to the present In
terests of the west; prices permitting
purchases with a view to monopoliza-
ton would be inimical to its future
interests" The question is whether
the public domain is to be developed
by monopolists. leaving the west at
their mercy for all time to come. or
whether it is to be developed under
proper safeguards that will prevent
monopoly and assure the public its
rights in the natural resources. The
president believes in the latter, and
that IL will lead to the speediest and
best development of the west, not for
the pockets of few. but for the ben
eft of all. His solution is federal
leasing system that will protect the IN
terests OF all the people. assure cap
ital profitable but all monopolistic re-
turns, and avoid the mistakes that
squandered the national resources OF
the older states by permitting them
to become the assets of favored few.

FOR JUDICIAL REFORM
PRESIDENT TAFT'S POSITION EMI.
NENTLY SANE AND SAFE.
With the "RecaIl" Would BE Grave
Danger That JuHsts Would Allow
Fear Of Popular Disapproval to
Influence Decisions.

President Taft's criticism Of judicial
procedure in America comes with
force and weight The critic is not
only president OF the United States.
but also 1urist OF the highest stand
Ing. and one who has held high ju-
dicial position.
Not long ago the president drew
upon himself considerable censure for
vetoing the Arizona statehood bill be-
cause of the Arizona constitutional
provision for the recall of judges.
Many Americans who are earnestly
opposed to the judicial recall idea felt
that Arizona's constitution was Ari-
zona's business, and that Mr Taft was
not warranted in interfering.
In his remarks at St Louis Mr.
Taft made il clear why he opposes
the judicial recall and why he went
so far as TO veto the statehood bill.
He does not believe in the infailibility
OF judges. He does. on the contrary.
proper method OF removing unfit
judges from Office. But he does not
believe that the popular recall is a
safe or sound method of accomplish
ing judicial reform. He feels that
above all I Judge should be unafraid
of the people, unafraid of making him
self unpopular, Under the operation
of the recall the president is alarmed
lest the bench be filled with trucking
time-servers, whose actions and de-
cisions would all be planned with the
sole aim of pleasing the popular senti-
ment or prejudice of the moment.
detrimental to the public interest
The alternative proposed is some
method of impeachment, easily and
speedily applicable. Mr.. Taft is not
specific in the elaboration of this idea,
but he goes so far as to declare that
Impeachment before congress or be-
fore a state legislature should not be
the only possible way of getting rid OF
an unfit or undesirable Judge. we
can" says the president. have some
other method OF investigating the
qualifications of judges, and, if they
don't fill the measure, tc remove them.
Have some sort OF judicial hearing, in
which the facts shall be considered.
II would be interesting to have the
president elaborate somewhat. The
plan seems good, but its machinery is
not clearly apparent.

UNFAIR TO BLAME TARIFF
Facts Prove That Increased Cost Of
Living" is General All Over
the Wcrld.

The orators who melted the riots
in Vienna placed the responsibility
for the high cost of living upon the
| and easy way and constitutes the an
cient principle that food, clothing.
comfort. morality and happiness may
all be gained by legislative enact
ment. 1t is simple because It fires
imagination. 1t is easy because 1t In
wolves no study. no work, no inquiry
on the part OF the agitator and the
sincere. II ignorant. can obtain results
sought for quite as rapidly as the ed
ucated demagogue.
That the high costs OF living have
little or no relation with tariff sys-
tens was to be clearly read in the
railway strike in EngIand-the griev-
ance of which was that wages were
adequately proportioned to the
prices of foodstuffs The London
Daily Mail has called attention to the
fact that the retail prices of nearly
every commodity which enters into
the daily consumption of the masses
have taken an immense leap in the
last Is years. Bread. -four. beef.
mutton. pork. bacon, butter, eggs,
cheese. tea, cocoa, sugar. fruit, rice
and oatmeal are all from l to 43 per
cent higher than in 1896. while pota-
toes alone are cheaper today than in
that year
The basic principle OF free-trade
England is that of all things. food
shall bear no taxes. Yet in spite of
the fact that the doors of the ports
are open to the farm products of all
the world, food prices have become
SO high in Britain that every work
man in the transport trades felt the
compulsion to strike that the grocer's
charges might be met. We're the tar

BRYAN Not to Be Taken Seriously

Mr.. Bryan tries to persuade the
readers OF his Commoner that he has
forged a chain of fifteen links which
connects the president with the deci-
sion of the Supreme court in the
Standard Oil and Tobacco cases. his
view OF the decisions being that they
are in the nature of a license to the
trusts to conduct business. His ninth
link is this: +'All the trusts supported
Mr. Taft for the presidency-every
one of them" Mr.. Bryan has not the
slightest sense of humor, otherwise
he would see that the ninth link OF his
chain Is about the funniest thing that
he has said in these times of trust
prosecution. But Mr.. Bryan has be-
come so far diminished as a political
parsonage that he evidently feels that
he must "holler" pretty loud in order
to attract anybody's attention. His
preposterous mouthings are negligible,
and for that very reason 1t would seem
that persons who still retain some bal
ance of mind ought not to emulate his
example in devising baseless insinua
tions against the president

Won't Harm Real Business.

No real harm can be done to legiti-
mate business by the filing of this
suit. The government asks for no de-
struction of property. but rather for
its conservation. 1t is merely seeking
to compel one of the largest of Amer
lean corporations to comply in its cor
porate form to the statutes In view
of all the circumstances the govern
ment is proceeding conservat1veIy. and
If business is injured by its action 1t
will probably be because public conf
dence has been deliberately shaken by
speculative interests intent upon run
ming the stock market to lower levels,
or disturbed by the proceedings of the
very corporations against which the
administration has moved.-Washtng-
