SALARY OF KINGS

Sometimes people have an idea that mon
arch IS not much more expensive than presi
dent King Edwards yearly civil list, for in
stance, was about $2,350O0O He had for their
Malestles privy purse, $550,OOO salaries of
household and retired allowance 100000; ex-
penses of household. $965O00; works. 100000
royal bounty, aims, and special services. $66
900; mappropriated 100000 In addition, an
nutles amounting to $4,000 were paid to Ger
tam members of the royal family, including the
Prince OF Wales, who received 100000, and the
Princess OF Wlaes whose annuity was $4,000
THIS sounds formidable, but it appears that
these sums are not drain upon the public
treasury The revenue is all derived from land
belonging to the crown By arrangement Of
queen Victoria with the House of Commons she
surrendered the crown property for life and
took IN return a civil list fixed at about $4,000
600 for the maintenance of the rova family
me property increased in value during her
reign and by careful management it produced
III time yearly revenue far in excess of the
amount OF the civil list, and such is said TO he

SHOULD REPAIR ROADS IN THIS SECTION

The last legislature passed a law for oo,
vets to work on the roads throughout tbe state
and the southern end should receive its sbaro
OF this labor and thus help in buildino tho
trans-continental auto road The Bonanza
wishes to call the attention of the hoard of
prison directors to the condition of thirty miles
OF road between Sodaville and Crow Snrinos
TINS road lies in Mineral and Esmeralda conn
Ties ana there IS no money in the road fund to
repair TINS highway. The road has no particu-
lar bearing on Goldfield and the commissioners
OF that county are indifferent to it's condition
but 1t is the main thoroughfare to Tonopah and
me commissioners of Nye county should take
the matter up with the prison board and have
that BODY authorize the warden to place the
convlcts at work on this road
An automobile party arriving in Topopah the
other day reports that it took them five hours
to come from Sodavile to Tonopah which
would be making about IL miles an hour and
TINS alone IS proof of the poor condition of tbis
road The section from Grow Springs TO Tono.
pah could be placed in good shape with very
little work, but all travelling from Sodayille
to this city state that that section between
Sodav1e and Crow Springs is in very had

The commissioners should take the matter
OF good roads up and either get the state TO
repair or do it by some other means 50 that
travellers will have a good word for our hioh
ways and all will be benefited by the travel
IN the three counties. There is a state fund for
the Improvement and building of highways
There will be thousands of tourists TRAVELLING

by thrusting Mr.. Kern into the fore
ground?
And why have selected Mr.. Kern for
such an ungracious and ,unneighborly
purpose? Gov Marshall smoothed the
way for Mr.. Kern's appearance In the
Senate. He forced q reluctant state
convention to instruct for senator. and
In the contest Mr.. Kern won. Had the
question Of successor to Mr.. Beveridge
been thrown into the campaign without
"a capitalization Of sentiment in favor Of
any democrat, Mr.. Kern, who had lost
before one uninstructed legislature, might
have lost before another. The brewers
and distillers. whom he charged with op-
posing him for Mr.. Shively, might have
opposed him again successfully for some-
body else.
Gov. Marshall may not be the man for
the emergency. But, II not, Indiana has
no claims to consideration, and will not
figure in the national convention as
dominating factor. Mr.. Kern. as he
himself seems to concede. is not in the
picture, and cannot be drawn into 1t
for any winning purpose, pro-Kern. or
anti-Marshall.
But what will Indiana do If the choice

Wilson? The former is q next-door
neighbor. and well known in the state.
Two years ago he shared in the good
fortune which swept both Ohio and In
diana into the democratic column. Why
should not the Hoosier state make her
salam to the Buckeye state in behalf OF
such a candidate as the latter is pre-
senting?
Gov. Wilson lives at a distance. ana
is a new acquaintance. On his recent
visit to the state he made q good I'M
preston, as. indeed. he has done wher-
ever he has gone. But why the new
friend, attractive as he Is, In preference
to the old. and especially as the old has
had the greater experience In politics?
When the mask Is removed. and the
Kern boom stands forth in its true mean
ing the facts may show that 1t Is not
really Of Indiana origin. but represents
the Zine work. OF politicians operating
from a distance, and busy elsewhere than
in Indiana.

The Eubdub Bird.

The fiubdub bird Is q creature strange,
with q note that Ii heard afar.
It's song is subject to frequent change.
And varied its accents are.
The mockingbird with the parrot blends.
And other strains were stirred
In the evolutions through which descends
That marvel. the dubdub bird.
Its lay is shifted to please the throng
In the moods that swiftly pass.
Sometimes with . note that II loud and
strong
II appeals to the martial class.
And many q heart Is beating high
And bold is many q word.
We think we are called by the Eagles
cry
When It's only the fiubdub bird.
Then It wings its way to some other land
Where the popular mood is mild.
And its note Is as soft and sweet and
bland
A. the laugh Of Q little child.
II seems that the cooling will never cease
That near and far is heard.
We think we list to the Dove OF Peace,
But It's only the nubdub bird.

Payne law just as 1t now exists. and re-
wise 1t to suit their real purposes ana
conform somewhat to their longtime
promises.
Mr. Bryan Is not so happy. however,
when he says ut also will be impossible
to say who the candidates will be until
the issues are defined" That appears to
suggest that. as to the democrats at least
a platform which would suit Gov. Har-
mon might not suit Gov. Wilson; or one
that would suit Gov. Wilson might not
suit Mr.. Clark; or one that would suit
Mr.. Clark might not suit him. Mr.. Bryan.
although he declares again that he is not
candidate.
Now. as a matter Of fact. is there q
single issue upon which these men are
so much divided as to make any possible
democratic platform repugnant to any
Of them? We may ignore free silver
coinage and government ownership and
operation Of railroads, because there is
no possibility of their being presented Tor
consideration. But take the trust ques-
tion or the railroad question, or the 1ni-
tiative, referendum and recall, or even
the tariff question with its thousand dif-
flculties and neither Harmon. Wilson.
Clark nor Bryan would be barred by any
deliverance a democratic national con-
vention may be supposed capable or
making Any of them. according to
party usage, could. and AZ the candidate
would, stand foI'' the party's formal ex-
preston. although it might not square
exactly with his personal wishes or, con-
yictions.
But this Is not to say that Congress
should not have care as to what 1t
does 1t should. The record should
show, If possible, something beyond
party maneuvering. even OF the most
skillful kind. Each party should be
able to write as good a platform as pos
sible, and appeal to the country on 1t
with q candidate whose professions ana
performances come closely to the lines
of the deliverance. A perfect fit may
not be possible in either case. but q near
approach should be attempted in both.

A Protested Boom.

Senator Kern Is in the throes of an
unusual experience in our politics. There
IS conspiracy to thrust a presidential
boom upon him. The first manifestation
was in the form Of newspaper gossip.
His success at home after several de-
feats was mentioned. His association
with Mr. Bryan was dwelt upon Why
not nail down Indiana in the democratic
column by nominating the latest recipient
of democratic favor in the state?
The latest manifestation is in the form
of campaign buttons. A shower Of them
has fallen upon Washington. And else
where they have appeared. Men are
asked to testify to their appreciation Of
the Indiana statesman by decorating
their coats with a declaration for him for
national leader.
The movement irritates Mr.. Kern. It's
source is in doubt, but it's meaning is
plain. The real object is to remove Gov.
Marshall from the equation.
Why should such thing have been at
tempted? Gov. Marshall Is a good man.
and while his course in ONCE has not
been spectacular. 1t has so far been cred
liable TO him and beneficial TO his party.

Neglect Of Fire Precautions.

The New York Sun today takes fling
at the national government Tor It's neg
lect Of fire precautions in Washington.
It makes comment on Secretary Fishers
recent remarks calling attention to the
annual fire loss Of the nation, and urging
that everybody do his share toward
helping lessen the yearly destruction OF
property. The Sun says:
Secretary Fisher is In no way re-
sponsible for the carelessness that Is
shown In any department at washington
except his own The fact that the ma
tional records are not Kept as tney
does II impair the force of his argument
for better protection generally. The
spectacle Of one government employe
urging reform in a matter in which an
ously delinquent illustrates perfectly the
lack of consistency that characterizes
the treatment of the whole subject. Last
winter two state capitols were injured
by fire, with incalculabie loss 70 tne
community: the danger Is recognized. ad-
mitted and deplored everywhere. Gov
ernment agents of all degrees of impor-
tance utter solemn warnings; and all the
time nothing Is done to provide effectuai
safeguards where they are most needed
The Sun calls to mind that the original
Constitution Of the United States and the
Declaration Of Independence are stored In
q non-fireproof safe in the Department
Of State. and that public records are
kept In fiimsy hle cases In many Of the
departments. It would be proper for the
national government to set the example
of nreproof buildings and to insure safe
ty from fire for Its valuable records.
The New York critic observes that "a
fireproof vault In the State Department
would be worth a great many speeches
by members Of the cabinet in New York" !"
Such q vault is about to be built. the
Secretary Of State having directed that
plans and estimates for the structure be
provided.
