LOOKS GOnD FOR WILSON

The New York Press has made a
canvass among the republicans
selected at random from its sub
scription list and not living in New
York or other large cities, and the
returns are significant. OF the
1000 first replying all of whom
virtually voted for Taft in 1908.
442 said they would vote for Taft
this year. 1856 for Roosevelt, 1872 for
Wilson. and 81 said they would not
vote at all or were undecided.
Thus Is per cent of these 1000 re-
publican voter. are for Wilson.
The New York World figures it
that If this percentage were main
taind in the. same proportion
throughout New York State it
would mean a gain of over 49,
600 republican voets for Wilson, TO
say nothing of democrats who
voted against Bryan four years ago
and will vote fro Wilson this yesr.

REVIEWS THE SITUATION

The Stockton Mail in reviewing
Hearst's break of faith and his
disregard of party pledges says:
In Hearst's newspapers Woodrow
Wilson was treated with all the dis
respect and contempt conceivable
before the convention. When the
governor was nominated, Hearst
showed symptoms of having an
inspected streak of manhood, by
declaring he would i.nore past
differences and support the regular
candidate, and while Governor
Wilson is still being handicapped
by that support, yet Hearst has
denounced the democratic platform.
Hearst is no more of a democrat
than Roosevelt is a republican.
Each deerted the party to which he
was pledged aud attempted to start
one of his own. They differ, how
ever, in this: Roosevelt doesn't
know any better; he thinks he is
that exceptional man who can fool
all of the people all of the time but
Hearst is inadvertently treacherous
as Galeon, he does it because it
is his nature.

". |. PLUMB

Inc subject OF this sketch as
near as we can learn was born in
the State Of Ohio about "a years
ago. Shortly after reaching man.
hood, he entered the Union army
and served until the close of the
civil war. In the late sixties he
came to Nevada and settled st
Belmont. then a thriving mining
camp. He afterw6rd went to
White Pine county and in 1872 he
joined the rush to Cornucopia. then
a busy mining camp, in the northern
part of this county. In 1885, Mr..
Plumb moved to Tuscarora. and
since lived there almost contin-
uously till his death. .
During his long residence in this
county, he had the respect and
esteem of all who knew him. He
took lively interest in politics and
for many years was one of the most
active republicans in this county.
His party services were recognized
by President Harrison and he was
appointed agent of the Duck
valley Indian reservation. He
filled this position with ability and
retired with clean record. In
1904 he was appointed postmaster
of Tuscarora and held that position
at the time of his death.
In late years, his life was in
Iimately interviewer with that of
the people of Tuscarora. He was
active in everything that would
contribute to their welfare. He took
an active interest in labor matters
and was an honored member of
Tuscarora Miners Union, and
represented his union several times
at the annual meeting of the
Western Federation of Miners He
was president of the union when
called to the other shore.
AS soldier, an official, and as a
private citizen W. l. Plumb
measured up to the true standard
of a man. He was a lowing
husband, and an indulgent father.
A few years ago his wife passed
away in California and her last
request was that her remains be
laid away at Mountain City. Last
Saturday night he died near the
last resting place of his beloved
wife. May they be re united in
the spirit land.
Four daughters Mrs. King, of
Tuoloumne. California; Mrs. Billing
of Mountain City; Miss Alma of
Tuscarora; and Miss Blanche of Los
Angeles, and one son. William, liv-
ing in Idaho, mourn the death of
a loving father.
May they be comforted by the
thought that he left q stainless
'ecord, legacy more to be esteem
ed than gold or silver.

BESIDE THE QUESTION

1t is apparent that an attempt is
to be made by the republicans in
Nevada to play up Judge Massey's
personal virtues as a man as
strongly as possible, in order to
detract from the serious considera-
ton of the political principles he
stands for. The voters of this
state know, however, that Judge
Massey is irrevocably lined up and
allied with the Taft reactionaries,
notwithstanding any middle Of the
road policies he may pretend to
espouse.
In personal ability. character,
integrity, habits and cap acity for
work, Judge Massey has none the
best of Key Pittman. No doubt
Judge Massey:is a respected citizen,
but he has no greater claims for
respect of his fellow-men nor has he
the interest of Nevada more at
heart, nor has he done, nor can he
do. more for the states, upbuilding

have served Honduras have vacated Of
f1ce without resorting to force to hold
their places. One OF these was Sierra,
the road builder Of the country. and the
other was Policarpo Bonilla. the present
thorn in the flesh OF President Manuel
Bonilla. The term Of office is four years,
and vet the average service Of the entire
list OF presidents has been only two and
a half years. There have been seven or
eight revolutions in twenty years, to say
nothing Of innumerable rebellions that
were put down. All this tells why Hon.
duras Is an undeveloped country. why
foreign capital stays out for the most
part and why what does come In demands
huge profits.
Honduras 10 no exception to the general
rule Of Spanish America-that the masses
are as poor as church mice and live
wholly a hand-to-mouth existence. The
import duties are so high that they can
buy almost nothing to wear that 10 made
abroad. and there Is precious little made
at home It Is estimated that they spend
for clothing and other imported goods
about $50 each annually. But why
should they accumulate more than a
shirt apiece when the first revolution
that comes along will rob them OF every
thing not on their backs?

Hardly anywhere else In tho world can
there be found q country SO rich In nat
ural wealth in proportion to its size az
Is Honduras. Yet revolutions have FOL
lowed one another almost with the succeed
ing seasons, and the people are as poor as
their country II rich. With an area equal
to that Of the state Of Ohio, it, popula-
ton IL but little moro than double that OF
Cincinnati. With hundreds OF thousands

with mineral deposits that mako the

are out are strong enough to Dust than.
and then the process begins anew. The
consequence 10 that Honduras has been
going backward. Years ago President
Sierra built a road from his mountain
capital Tegucigalpa, to the sea. In those
days it was a good road. but soon 1t
began to go down. Even UP to the time
that the auto truck came into existence
It was yet q popular highway, and few
who have seen pictures OF Honduras have
failed to see the big auto truck pictured
on a hne stretch OF road leading from
Tegucigalpa to the sea- But the big
truck makes its way no moro. Cuiverts
have been washed away. sections Of the
road have slipped from tho mountain
