FEED IS REPORTED SHOTR

c. f. Hickey was in from Mono
county last Saturday and reports
that feed on the Bridgeport Mead
ows is is practically gone and this
week his company intends to move
2, 900 head of steers to their hold
ings in Antelope Valley. He can
not record the time when feed was
50 short as it is this season. Under
ordinary conditions the Meadows
have carried the same number of
stock until late fall that this year
has failed in August.

May Not
Ship Beets

This paper had been informed that
many of the Carson Valley farmers
who planted sugar beets have decid-
ed to feed the beets to the cows and
hogs instead Of shipping them to
the Nevada Sugar Factory at Fal-
Ion. The Sugar company, it is
claimed, failed to live up to their
contract, they having agreed to
plant and care for the beets for a
fixed sum per acre. 1t is claimed
sthat the beets were not planted
early as they should have been.
To make matters worse the beets
we're not weeded in time and in some
instances it was necessary to cut
down the weeds with a moving
machine. Despite these drawbacks
the beet have thrived in Carson
Valley soil and in most instances a
good crop is reported.
Dave Fountain probably has the
best stand of beets in the Valley, he
having cultivated and cared for the
crop at the right time, and did not
wait for the company S men.
While money can be made grow
ing sugar beets the farmers of Car
son Valley will hold alfalfa as their
most profitable crop for some years

be elected in November is that the
opposition will be divided among
three other candidates; that of the
regular republicans, the bull moose
and the Independent. The duty of
democrats to exercise their rights to
participate directly in the choice of
their party's candidate and to select
the lawyer best qualified for this
position is therefore plain and inn
perative.
While A. A. Heer, who seeks the
democratic nomination, favors a
non-partisan judiciary, he is oppos-
ed to a bipartisan judiciary, where
in a candidate is nominated as a re-
suit of a political trade. involving
other candidates and necessarily,
party betrayal. Although loyal
democrat he is not a politician, in
the popularly accepted meaning of
that word, and has not been implie-
tied in either partisan or factional
strife, and is therefore gratifyingly
unbiased,
The fact of the matter is, Mr..
Heer is an unusual combination Of
the student of affairs. He is pro-
foundly learned in law, with a wide
and varied experience in practice,
and has successfully managed COM
mercial and mining enterprises of
magnitude in this state. For
twenty years he has devoted him
self actively to his law practice. He
has been admitted to the bar of
fourteen st; -es, his wide spread
practice calling him to others than
his home state. He has been engag-
ed in some of tre most important
litigation Ia t..e history of Nevada,
involving interests of great conse-
quence and variety, winning his
cases with phenomenal regularity.
His character and record are with
out blemish, and this is quite an
essential an asset for a properly
equipped Supreme Court Judge as is
high legal attainments. Mr.. Heer
combines the two, has lofty con-
ception of the responsibilities of the
bench and exalted ideals of profess
ional ethics.
The estimation in which he is held
by the Nevada bar is shown in the
vote recently cast by attorneys on
the request of the Fallon Standard,
that sought to elict their expert
opinion on this subject. Lawyers in
every county in the state responded
to this call, and Mr.. Heer received
more than seven votes to his OPP
ponent's one surely fair and
intelligent guide for voters to fol-
low.
He is a member of the firm of
Mack, Green, Brown & Herr, every
member of which stands high with
both courts and the public.

new PARTY IS

ADOPTED.

from all parts of the county. M.
Mack acted as chairman, with Geo.
L. Servoss at the secretary's desk.
The Chair announced that the
purpose of the meeting was to
adopt county platform, perfect an
organization of the Progressive
party in this county and placing a
ticket in the field. The matter of
platform was taken up and the
following was unanimously adopted:
"The inability of old political
parties to solve the problems of
government, their domination by
bosses and machines, and the insist
ent and widespread demand for
honesty in politics, have brought a.
bout the formation of the Progress
i've Party. Free from out-grown
policies and petty spite, unhamper-
ed by tradition, and eager for poll
teal battle, the Progressive Party
offers itself to the electorate, re-
gardless Of previous party affilia-
tions, as the best political instru-
ment for the common veal.
we unequivocally endorse the
the national and state platforms of
our party, and we earnestly recon-
mend their every precept.
Particularly for Douglas county
we favor: Equitable valuation of
property without discrimination in
favor of large property holders.
Such a taxable valuation ON un-
improved arabic lands as to be in
fair proportion to the value placed
by the owners upon such lands.
Fair wages for labor.
Economy in county affairs, with
due regards to necessary improve
ments, such as schools, roads and
bridges.
The advertisement of the re-
sources and advantages of the
county, and the encouragement of
enterprise among the people.
Rigid enforcement of laws re-
lating to public morals, particularly
those having to do with minors.
Our legislative candidates are
committed to a policy of economy
and the elimination of unnecessary
state expense, with due regard to
efficiency; also to a determined ef-
fort to continue Douglas county
entact in its present form. We be-
lieve we can best govern and sus-
tain our county by refusing en-
tangling alliances.
To these principles and the new
era of honesty and square deal, F"
we pledge ourselves and our candi-
dates"
The following candidates were
nominated:
Long Term Commissioner Louis
Heitman.
Short Term Commissioner

Owing to the fact that possible

PROTECT THE STATES
COMMON SCHOOL SYSTEM

Whoever is interested in the welfare of Georgias
common schools has for grave concern over
Governor Browns arbitrary and suspicious attempt
to remove Profs. Jere NJ Pound and ]. C. Langston
as members Of the State Board Of Education. They
had been legally appointed and had been duly con-
frmed by the Senate. The Governor now seeks, APP
pareny at the dictaton Of Special Interests. to re-
move them without cause and to force upon the
Board two appointees of his own, whom the Senate
refused even to consider.
Should such an act be suffered to go unchalenged
and become precedent it would prove runous to the
States public school system. 1t is, therefore, the
duty of Profs. Pound and Langston not merely to
themselves but to the schools and the teachers and
the great cause they represent to appeal forthwith
to the Attorney General for vindication of their
legal status the duly accredited members Of this
Board It is further more the obvious duty of Super
intendent Britain, the responsible head Of the
Department of Education, to call upon the Attorney
General for an opinion and, If need be- upon the
courts for such action will preserve the integrity
and the usefulness of the Board.
AS matters now stand, the State Board of Educa-
tion which has control over more than eight thou
sand schools and more than thirteen thousand teach
ers which administers either directly or indirectly
fund of some four million dollars annually, and
which is to select next year the text books for some
seven hundred thousand pupiIs-this Board is now
in of confusion, If not impotence through the
Governors effort to play politics and serve the Inter

cratic support he is doomed to disappointment 1t
has been said that expects break into the solid

In Texas the combined vote of Taft and Roosevelt
will be less than Tafts of 1908, and that will be
the rule in all the OF the south Colonel Roose
Welt will obtain his strength from the Republican
marty to which may added scattered Independents
The fact that the Republican party is split wide
open is not causing the slightest ripple in Democratic
circles in any part Of the country The real effect Of
the Republican breach will be to bring Wilson sup

nuhlican conservatives who will take the ultimate

radicals who will logical step defeat Taft
II would be extravaganza predict that Wilson Will
carry every state in union but the logic of the
situation is that he will carry all the certain Demo-
cratic states and obtain a plurality in the states
which have been classified Republican.
Roosevelts candidacy is going to destroy the old Re-

From a platform in the square,
And we cheered him long and loud
For the things he told us there

We pledged our support, and then
Drew his carriage to the train
While we howled like crazy men.
Now we're cheering him some more

Is 1T things he's done before
That this hubbub's all about?
Is it for heroic deeds
Battles fought in our behalf
Triumphs that supply our needs?
Stop, or else you'll make me laugh!

THE PUBLIC DEPENDS
ON THE COMMISSION.

Governor Browns unwarranted veto Of the mile

ness interests of Georgia with only one means or
Lope of redress-the Railroad Commission. The will
of the Legislature which represented that of the peo
ple has been thwarted and broken by the railways
in collision with the Governor 1t is thus to the Com
mission, and the Commission alone, that the public
can now turn for vindication of its rights.
AS body established to deal even justice Decween
the people and the publicservice corporations the
duty of the Commission in this matter is clear: 1t
should undo the wrong of the Governors arbitrary
action and grant this demand to which the patrons
Of the roads are fairly and legally entitled

cure would be in effect today. had it not been for
Governor Browns biased and ndefensible veto. The
Legislature enacted the bill after thorough considera
ton and with the advice of able jurists in both the
House and the Senate.
1t was apparent to the General Assembly. as it
must be to every reasonable and disinterested per-
son, that mileage which patron of the road buys
and pays for in advance should be accepted aboard
trains for just what it is worth transportation
and that in requiring the exchange Of such mileage
for special trip tickets the roads nfict upon their
patrons an unjust and useless hardship. Further
more it was known to the Legislature that great
railway systems of the East voluntarily pull mile
age aboard trains and find the practice thoroughly
in accord with their interests and convenience
On these grounds and in response to an insist
emit public demand the Legislature passed the mile
age bill. In disregard of these facts and reasons
and with caloused indifference to the public needs
Governor Brown vetoed the mileage bill. And in
doing So he not only denied the people common
right but he also denied the courts an opportunity
to pass upon the law
1t is in these circumstances that the commercial
travellers and the important interests they represent
now appeal to the Railroad Commission, Their plea
is backed by the action Of the Legislature, by the
moral sentiment of the entire State by the example
of the great eastern railways, and by the obvious
right of the travelling public receive due service
and fair treatment from the roads.
