Ii the republican party has, or has
had. its Roosevelt, the democratic
party has its Rryan, and Bryan can
not be much less a menace to the
peace of the democratic party than
Roosevelt has been to that of the re-
publican party Current events at Chi
cago have been highly edifying to de-
mocracy. but the time of its own ira
vail fast approaches. Less agonizingly
perhaps. but none the less certainly it
must undergo the conflict of two op-
posing and irreconcilable ideas. The
new idals which have distracted and
finally rent the republican party have
their apostles and worshipers in the
democratic party. Likewise it has its
tory faction 1t may be possible to
reconcile the two, but such reconcile
alton would produce compromise that
would satisfy neither and disgust the
country. The analogy between the re-
publican and democratic situation is
almost as perfect as if it had been
made TO order. The imagination viii
not be heavily tasked to conceive Par
ker as democratic Root. Both are
men of extraordinary ability, of unim
peachable private character-and o.
stern repugnance to everything having
the odor of radicalism. The analogy
lis made pluperfect by the news iron
Baltimore that Judge Parker is favor
ed by the national committee for TEN
porary chairman, just as Senator ROO
was favored for that position by tn
republican national committee, AM
that Judge Parker is being opposed b
Mr.. Bryan, just as Senator Root wa
opposed by Mr.. Rooseyeit-Dalla

The board of equalization adjourned
Thursday afternoon after a four days
session. There were only six com.
plants of over assessments in the en-.
tire county. There were 4S raises by
the board and no one protested which
shows they were satisfied with the as
sessment. Within the city of Vinita
there was only one protest and the
board sustained Assessor Shelton, and
left the assessment as made.
The average land assessment in
Craig county is s1725.

One thing may be said in favor OF
the Baltimore convention. 1t don't
take long for that body to settle
question. Maybe the fact that the
democratic delegates have no Perkins
may be responsible for the speed of
the convention.

W. j Bryan, in his report of the
Baltimore convention, to various news
papers throughout the country says
| have attended conventions since
my youth, but l have never known a
more brazen attempt upon the part of
an Insignificant few to thwart the viii
of the rank and file of the party.
It is not burglary, but plain, open,
daylight robbery, where the leaders do
not even take the trouble to wear
masks.
If the plain, everyday citizen who
earns his bread in the sweat Of his
brow could understand the influences
that operate at a convention like this,
and if he could see the misrepresenta-
tives of the people slipping around 10
the rooms of those who manipulate the
schemes through which the public is
plundered; if he could number the
whispered conversations that take
place in dark corners; if he could
hear the specious arguments made in
behalf of regularity; if he could be
made aware of the tremendous pres
sure that is brought to bear on the
weak, and of the deceptions practiced
upon the unsuspecting, he would re-
alize how important it is that men
should be selected as delegates whose
hearts are right, whose sympathies are
with the people and who have the
moral courage to stand for the silent
masses.

BEET INDUSTRY A SUCCESS.

The sugar beet industry in Churchill
county is now an assured success and
the farmers as well as the Nevada
Sugar Company are pleased with the
results This year quite number of
put in large acreage of beetsertg..
farmers put in large acreage of beets
and they are meeting with great sue
cess in their culture of the product
The Nevada Sugar Company has
photograph ia beet field of IL
weeks growth belong ing to Tom
Dolf. This is field of twenty-five
acres and the experts of the sugar
company figure that the field should
turn in 80 tons to the acre and the
beets at this time test up l8 per cent
sugar, making the value of the field
$l62 per acre The photograph shows
a mass of beet tops and it is said that
the beets are all large and carry a big
percentage of sugar.
The exjerts of the sugar company
state that the beet field owned by
Tom Dolf near Fallon demonstrates
that fine beets can be raised in large
quantities if the land is properly cul
tured and they say that with proper
care of the the fields they should get
80 to 40 tons per acre and declare that
they cannot beat this with alfalfa for
value.
Speaking further of the culture of
sugar beets in Churchill county, H.
E. Roe, Secretary of the company
says:
Last year was nothing by which
to go, as the ranchers did not have
their land in shape, and then they
NEW nothing about beets, but this
year we have given particular atten
ton to them and have demonstrated
what can be done if they go at it
right, and we look for our acreagt to
triple next year as result of the sue
cess we are having this year"

MASSEY ON DECK.
His Maiden Speech Makes the Old
Members Take Notice.

A Washington dispatch of July 81
says that official Washington is eager
ly discussing the maiden speech Of
Senator w. A. Massey, of Nevada.
1t is recognized that he will be a
force in the United States Senate, that
his strong argument in support of the
government control of the Panama
canal, is but the commencement of
series of speeches that will place the
Nevada in the ranks of of the leaders.
1t is matter of favorable discussion
among the staid members of the Uni
ted States Senate that Massey has
broken into debate on great sub
ject before he has occupied seat in
the Senate more than fortnight Il
is recognized that Senator Massey
possesses the power of oratory with
the ability to lead and the manner i'll
which he jumped into the debate on
the question of control of the Panama
canal is exciting considerable interest.
Senator Massey, in his argument,
contended that the treaty with Pana
ma gives absolute sovereignty to the
United States exclusive of all other
countries to the territory upon which
the canal was constructed. He show
ed where the Panama treaty was made
long after the Hay Paunceforte treaty
in 1901.
Citing the fact that the canal was
built upon American soil, he iluustra
ted how this differed materially from
the canal contemplated under the
Hay Pauncefote treaty. (which sought
to regulate where the canal was built
not on American soil or upon for
eign. Inasmuch as the canal is con-
structed upon American soil, he held
that it was outside the treaty agree
ment and that consequently Great
Britain could have no direction in
the matter, and therefore nothing
could be submitted to the Hague
tribunal. He showed where Congress
had the exclusive jurisdiction to leg
islate as to the tolls to be paid by all
shipping and also had the power to
discriminate in favor of American
coastwise and foreign shipping
In the Notifications of the canal,
Congress had violated the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, and this action had
been acquiesced in at least tacitly and
had not been protested by Great
Britain
I'm other words under the facts
shown by contemporaries history at
the time of the execution of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, and in the discus
sion of the proceedings, neither Eng
uand nor the United States ever in
tended to extend the terms of that
treaty to any territory belonging to
either of the powers" said Senator
Massey, but intended that its terms
should be applied only to canals con
structed by the United States upon
foreign territory and which should re-
main foreign territory"
