MAY CALL EXTRA SESSION
OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

A special session of the Nevada
state Legislature, 10 meet at Carson
during the early part OF March,
may be called by Governor Oddie
that transfer OF funds may be
made To The general fund which
has been exhausted since last fall
says the Reno Journal.
Governor 01dle is considering
the feasibility of the plan for call
ingan extra session and is OF the
opinion that the expenses OF the
session, which will last about three
days, will not exceed $1,000.
Whether other matters than
that calling Tor the transfer of
funds will be embodied in the call
is not known at the present time,
as the governor is also considering
several matters OF Importance to
the state.
Governor Oddie remarks that
the failure of the ways and means
commitle at the last legislative
SESSION to pro. ide an adequate tax
rate has resulted in depicting OF
the general fund by th3 payment
OF bills authorized.
"lf an extra session IL called" +"
said Governor Oddie, 1T alll be
necessary 10 pass measure
authorizing a bond issue to the ex-
tent of 5000, 700. The bonds will
be Ken up with school funds ami
the moneys received viii 90 into

action the school fund OF the state
will be benefited and the interest

practice In the past.
Il have been considering the
matter of the special session for
several weeks, but will reach 10

report shows the financial cond'-
tioen of the state at the close oi the
year. There are ample funds nov
stored in the State treasury, but

ed from except by legislative act.

THE SAVAGE'S WARFARE.

If the Statesman desired to be at all fair to Senator
Borah it would not hesitate to declare whether 1t favors
his return the senate whether it opposes his return
Every reader of that paper knows that it has criticised
his attitude in this campaigns that it opposes the prncl
Piles and policies he advocates that it has THROWN ind
recty and by sbege every obstacle in the way OF his
success that it is possible for it to do but at the time
has sought hold the impression out to his friends that
it, at any rate, is not opposing him.
For instance it has not editorialy said single word
in favor of the election of John NJ Hanes for governors
neither has it said word in direct language advocating
the election of Senator Bora yet in it's columns it
has tried in the most Objectionable possible to do
Borah hurt by connecting him with the Haines campaign
because of it's belief that Haines is unpopular cand
date and doomed to defeat.
This attitude believe, and have charged, is due
to the demands Of the Johnsons, the Cntons the Gun
ninglans, the Fetches and the Grnbaus of this city,
representatives here Of the Guggenheim eyerhauser
Havemeye clique of "big business interests,
wool trust the sugar trust, the brewery and wholesale
liquor interests and the Oregon Short Line that their
gan in this city conduct the savages warfare upon all can
didates known to have views in accordance with the
people distinguished from the views held by the
special interests.
y refute these accusations by making straightforward
declaration of its attitudea declaration which could be
kept and preserved and to which reference could be made
in the future and of which it could be said to Them Here
is what you said you would do
1t is because the Statesman refuses to make such
declaration that have challenged for week or more
to declare its position AS matters stand
say just where that paper stands except to that it
stands in ambush conducting savages assault upon its
former friend So far it's ability to do that friend harm
is concerned not in the least concerned because
know that its managers and all it's friends with which
it intimately associated intend to against the leg

STILL OPPOSE THE PUBLIC WILL.

The Republicans of Idaho being dominated absolutely
by the element which opposed the expression of the
will of the people in Boise relative to commission govern
ment when they tried through the courts to prevent the
people from gaining control of municipal government will
now through the courts attempt to prevent expression
OF the will of the people and effort their part to gain
control of the government in the state.
In other words, it appears apparent that the Repub
cans will appeal to the courts to prevent Secretary Of
State Clifford from certifying the Progressive state ticket
to the voters because they know that if the people
given the chance they will rout the gang control of state
affairs, horse and dragon.
There is not the least chance in the world that they
will be successful in the courts We have too much conf
dence in the majority Of supreme court to believe that
that tribunal will put any strained construction upon the
plain provisions of the law of the state for the very
pose of antagonizng the will of the people who support
them in Office and who constitute the bone and snew Of
our civilization
There limits to which our courts and it's
judges go support of the political organization
which they have attached themselves and do not for
minute believe that they will their official powers
to place unjust unusual construction upon words
take other technical advantage which may be presented
by hireng attorneys Of the special interests in order
deprive the citizens any considerable number of then
of their right to express by ballot their preferences

of our supreme court may do in political way they will

MARJORIE, MAceY AND MAY.
mo. COZ

Marjorie, Maggie and May are the
most popular contractions, dimiputives
and pet names for Margaret in Amer
lea. Marjorie is Scottish, its English
equivalent being Margery. Maggie and
May are English. but Maggy is Scotch.
So is May when it is not a contraction
of Mary. as in the case of the new
queen of England. known to her inti-
mates as May but officially as Mary.
Masie and Made are pet names for
May derived from Margaret.
English girls are fond of subscribing
themselves Margaret, which seems to
be as closely related to the French
Margot as the English Meta to the
Danish Meta.
Madge, Of course, is English to the
core. Outlandish forms rarely used in
this country are Gotten French),
Ghita, Otaliar). Maret Danish). Mar
garet (Hungarian), Markota (Bohem-
lam. Malgosia (Polish) and Margrete
and Greta Iettish).
Similar to the Scotch Made is the
Lettish form Maize, while Lettish
Madche (every letter sounded) seems
the equivalent of our Madge.
The only Marjorie now recalled was
the daughter Of the warlike Robert
Bruce, king Of Scotland, who figures in
the famous ballad as proud Maisie.'
The queen of the feeble Henry vi of
England lives in history as Margaret
but her people called her Valiant Mar
jorie" or Margerie. according to their
dialect. She fought at the head of the
kings troops in twelve battles, at one
of them directing her army with an in
FAINT babe at her breast. Luck was
against her and she fled only to get lost
in the forest, the prey of robbers, who
took her jewelry. Escaping them, an
other knight of the road approached
her. Here. my friend" she cried, 81

PRESS COMMENT
Borah-Cummins-Aadley.


The three most striking as well as
the three most influential men in the
ranks Of the Progressive Republicans
at the Chicago convention were Borah.
Cummins and Hadley. The reaction
aries have sought steadily to make 1t
appear that these three men had
turned against Roosevelt and would
support Taft. Only last week Senator
Cummins announced publicly his in
tention to vote for Roosevelt and de-
clared again that Taft's nomination
was STOLEN" The Taft news bureau
telegraphed to the Associated Press
that Senator Borah would speak for
Taft And now comes Senator Borah
and announces that he will not make
those pro-Taft speeches that the Re-
publican campaign managers adver-
tised SO triumphantly.
Perhaps his formal declaration that
80 Of the votes that nominated Taft
we're stolen" stood In his way. Per-
haps he was deferred by the primary
in Idaho, where the progressives, al
most without organization. came
within an ace Of cleaning up the or
ganization. Or, perhaps. he Is simply
expressing the popular feeling.
At any date it Is clear that Borah
has distinctly receeded from the az
gressive pro-Taft position credited to
him a few weeks ago. Nor has Had
ley become the champion OF Republic
canism and the "old guard" as per adj
vertisement The Taft people seem to
be about as accurate in proclaiming
the course OF individual Progressives
as they were in predicting Tafts ma
! jorities at the primaries.

classes leads fear that they will not stop anything

A Straw Vote.
(Richheld Record)


It's the funniest joke you ever heard,
for the Just now regular Republican
press to prove awful things against
Roosevelt and the Republican party
when he was in IT. as reason TO
vote the ticket straight. They consider
the Eull Moose a sort Of Josh Billings
joke. Here's little indication Of how
Iaughable 1t really is: In the pri-
maries. Taft got one vote In Richneld
at a Commercial club meeting mere
last week, a straw ballot gave every
vote to Roosevelt or Wilson. 1t vas
the business men, too. almost every
one in town. the class from which the

are losing votes wherever they can get

FIGS FROM

Washington, July Shaking figs
from bananas is a novel industry in
Jamaica, described by the U. S. con-
sui, j. D. Dreher, in a recent report.
Several factories are in operation,
each with a secret process.
1t is understood" says Dreher,
that the drying is done by hot air
and that it takes from 400 to 500
pounds of bananas to make 100
pounds of figs. The food products
manufactured are fig bananas, cook
ing bananas, banana chips, flour and
meal.
One factory cuts the bananas in
to short pieces before e%vaporating
them, thus making a product that
looks like the dried figs of commerce.
The figs are delicious and are likely
to be preferred to real figs by many
persons. 1t seems that all banana
food products are wholesome and
nutritious and they have been
awarded many prizes, diplomas and
certificates of merit"
