DUTY OF DEMOCRATS

Senator Newlands in this speech
last Friday. night urged the demo
Gratis Of Elko county to be true to
their party and cast their ballots
for Hon. Key, Pittman for United
States senator and Hon. Clay Tall.

representatives He said if Judge
Massey and Mr.. Roberts were
elected from this state it would be

was thoroughly democratic. He
also said if the republican candi-
dates were elected they would op-
pose President Wilson's administra-
tion and might by their votes in
the senate and house defeat his
policies. The democrats of
Nevada would then be in the posi-.
tion of casting their votes for 8
democratic president and at the
same time voting to send men. to
Washington. to oppose the admins.
tration Of the president they were
trying to elect. Personal fl lend

he said, should not outweigh the
duty democrats owed to their

The democrats of Elko county
should weigh we'll the advice giver

cause of his long residence here, i!
a we'll known fact. That friend

the duty they owe to their party
and its great leaders.

HUNTED 'POSsUM AND COON

There is no better known
American than j. Adam Bede of
Minnesota, whose fame as writer
and political forecaster is more
than country wide. John Maynard
Harlan of Illinois is noted also as
one of the great writer's and care
full observers of the. United States.
The two careful and conscien-
tious journalists do not make
political mistakes-for their present
high standing is the result of
years of past success therefore it
is not but reasonable that their
comprehension and observation of
things to come should bear weight.
These Two have just completed a
tour of the west with the great
Teddy, and they watched his
movements closely. When they
arrived in Omaha the other night
in speaking of their trip Mr.. Bede,
all of which was concurred in by
Mr.. Harlan, said:
II have hunted 'possum and coon
in the south and bear in the north,
but never had so much fun and got
so much game as on this trail of
the Big Bull Moose. But it is not
all run; we are viewing the
political slaughter of the most
garrulous demagogue in American
history, man who has talked
more and done less for the good of
his country than any one elevated
to the presidency. And Roosevelt
realizes his doom. That is why ne
raves and tears as he does like e a
wild beast.
THE people are sick of his sham
pretenses, his disregard of the
truth and his predisposition to call
everybody else a liar. They are
beginning to realize that God
Almighty was not unjust enough to
make only one honest and wise
man. They see his naked theft in
politics and his cheap mendacity
his inordinate lust fer power. his
insatiate thirst for revenge. They
have seen him throw away friend
ship and honor personal ambition.
1.-The best that the republican
party can hope for is that this mad
Mullah will stay on the stump until
election day. His crowds are large.
People will go to a circus. You
know what Barhum said. But
they are not for Roosevelt. They
are not enthusiastic. ! have never
witnessed such degradation as this
man is bringing himself into. Yet,
he did his nation service in re-
vealing hiself, for had he not
done so history might have cheated
posterity. But, of course, his real
self made that impossible"
After an honest American reads
this how can he vote for anyone
except Wilson?-St Joseph Obser.

A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.

The parliamentary or constitutional
point raised on the passage of the
wool tariff schedule Owe the preSi-
dents veto is an interesting one.
There We're 264 members present, but
only 254 voted for or against the
schedule. The vote of liza for pass
ing the bill over the veto was four
more than two-thirds Of those voting
v or no. but was two less than two
thirds of those present. Speaker
Clark held that under the constitu-
tional provision this constituted a
quorum. Several republicans pro-
tested. but Mr.. Mann, the leader of
the republicans. agreed with the
speaker.
People who refer 10 the constitution
ON this point will be surprised AT the
difference between the language OF
thai document and the construction
which legislative, and indeed judicial.
practice have given it. Article /, sec
ton I, clause .. provides that when
n vetoed bill is returned TO the house
in which it originated it requires a
vote of 'two-thirds of that house" to
SEND it to the other branch, and n
vote of 'two-thirds of that house" 10
pass it over the veto. n ordinary
meaning of the words "two-thirds of
that house" would certainly be two
thirds of it's total membership.
II is the fact that the supreme
court in an early decision has taken
away that meaning. 1t held that two
thirds of the quorum shown 70 be
present is all that is required. Rut
even on that ruling the case hardly
seems TO meet the requirement. The
ten members who did not vote We're
recorded as present but not voting
because they were paired. In other
words. the practice of congress in al
lowing pairs is given Sc much impor-
tance that the members recorded AS
present are made constructively alb
sent.
Eat We are certainly disposed to
rriticise the old supreme court rul-
in2 more than the speakers. for its
Effect appears very plainly in this

Die for twenty-six less than a majority
If ;he whole house to override the

that it was the intent of the consti-
hutton 10 require a two-thirds vote of

So widespread has been the demand
for the return of Burke that V the
politicians most bitterly opposed to
him are devoting most of their time in
an effort to pick flaws in the confess
sion of Burke and are circulating ru-
.norS to discredit the man wherever
possible.
1t became known today that rather
than face the storm h knew would be
aroused by his confession Burke con-
hded the entire story of his carly life
to his wife and went to the baldwin
Locomotive works at Eddystone. Pa.
and under an assumed name. applied
for a position. There was nothing in
his particular line. The dav following
the tremendous police raid, which very
nearly depopulated the tcndcrloin,
Burke appeared at the Office of a To-
cal attorney and requested the attor-
g to obtain a pass for him to see q
mar who had been captured in the
raid.
Wanted Final Plea.
The attorney today declared he re-
fused to get the Jail pass for Burke
but now he is sorry as he believes
Burke wanted to go to the Jail to make
one more plea with the ole convict
who had been Matchmaking him.
Il know that Burke paid money to
an old convict for something" said
this lawyer today. but I had 40 idea
the old fellow was blackmailing him.
OF course l knew nothing of Burke's
record, prior to his coming to Phila-
delphia. but / kno" him very we'll
since coming as he spent a good many
afternoons in my office and We became
real chummy."
This same attorney declared that
during the last nine months Burke ap-
rarently did not have n cent to spend,
even going without his usual cigars
so that he might horde his money.
II believe" said the attorney. that
Burke feared the time when he
wouldn't have any money TO give the
old pal' who threatened t. tell of the
past. I have heard him remark sew
e'al times that 1t would be a mighty
good thing if a certain person would
drop dead" He probably was wishing
for the death of the blackmailer.
Friends of Burke today recalled
that he "a afraid Of a camera as a
young horse is of the steam cars. They
remember how ne jokingly said when
asked to get out Autographs for his

TYPHOID CARRIERS AGAIN.

Whom a few years ago III" New
Works papers devoted much space to
the mysterious case of Typhoid
Mary" a cook who. although she had
never had typhoid fever herself. was
charged with having conveyed the in
fection to many others who ale the
food she cooked, the general public
regarded the story as a triumph of
imagination. But now another ny
Jhoid carrier is reported to have been
discovered ny the board of health of
Monrestown, n. j. This village has
been suffering from an epidemic of fe-
YER supposed to be due TO the water
supply. Someone noticed, however,
hat all the victims We're customers
of a certain dairy farm. reputod to
be one of the best in the country. In
spection of the dairy confirmed this
reputation. and the health board then
took up the typhoid carrier" theory.
making blood tests of all the am
ployes. when il Vas discovered. it is
reported, that the blood of the man
ager reacted Enthusiastically to the So
called Vidal test applied to suspected
carriers. But he had never suffered
from the disease and had enjoyed ex-
cellent health.
In both cases it will be observed
the supposed carrier was engaged in
preparing God for others-one a cook.
the other a dairyman. If they had
had the disease the theory would be
easily credible. Cases of infection
from convalescents discharged from
hospitals as cured have been known.
But il it is possible for a person who
has never had an attack to become
a source Of infection, where does it
leave the accepted theory of the
transmission Of the disease? We NAV
filter our water supply and protect
u milk supply and still be imperil-
ed by unknown risks. In that event
It is suggested the only precautton
would be incubation, as has been
tried in the army. But the typhoid
carrier" theory as set up by his VII
lage board of health in Jersey will
require further corroboration.

day the terrible financial straits Burke
appeared to be in when he borrowed
stray dollars as often as possible,
sometimes right in the council cham
Der when. after getting the money he
would hurry into the corridor Of the
city hall to return in a few moments
minus he money but with a half-con-
tented smile On his face.
The discrepancies found in the con-
fession OF Burke are of omission rath-
or than commission. He failed to state
that the child he called his own was
the daughter Of his wife who was a
widow when he married her and he
did not state that the money with
which he opened the cigar store was
obtained from the Philadelphia Trac-
ton company in settlement for in
Juries to the child by a car.
There is but one discordant note in
the almost universal sympathy ex-
pressed for the position Of Burke. The
assertion was made by Burke's moth
er-in-law that Burke had returned to
the use Of opium about six months ago
and shs suggested that he vas under
the influence of the drug when he
wrote the confession. This assertion
was Offset b. the fact that 1t also was
learned that Mrs. Brennan. tho moth
cr-in-law, and the Burke family had
not been friendly for many months
and tho mother-in-law knew very lit
tie Of the goings and comings Of
Burke.
