The Bio Spenders.

The biggest contributors to Demo
cratic success at present are Messrs.
Roosevelt and Taft, whose bureaus
are costing $4,000 day apiece.
The more they spend against each
other the worse they do for the Re
publican party, whose failure is the
issue of their controversy. They are
In effect only advertising their party's
and each others shortcomings to the
country. If the Democratic national
committee had 1t they might spend
$4,000 a day to the same purpose
with less effect.
There is more educational value for
the people in one day OF controversy
between the Republican leaders than
there would be in flooding the mails
with campaign literature for a month.
If either the Taft or the Roosevelt bu-
reau runs out OF funds 1t would pay
the Democrats to keep them going al
their own expense. If possible.

FOR THE sX-YEAR TERM
Chicago journal Brings Forward Some
Arguments That Appear to
Have Weight.

The proposed constitutional amend.
ment providing for six-year term for
our presidents, and no reelection,
ought to be entitled:
AN amendment to restore the dig
nifty OF the presidential Office, and 70
permit presidents to attend to public
business"
II that amendment ever runs the
gauntlet of congress and gets to the
people of the United States, 1t will
pass.
The argument now raised against It,
that It will deprive the nation Of the
services of some proven great men In
time of crisis, 10 too silly to be an
swered.
The proven great man can be useful
without being president Washington
was not president when he held the
fort at Valley Forge.
With the exception of Lincoln, the
fate Of this country has never rested
on a single man since the constitution
was adopted.
A single six-year term would have
kept Lincoln in ONCE nearly two years
after the close Of the war.
This country IL not going to be de-
stroyed by second-term candidates.
nor even by third-term candidates.
But this country is profoundly disgust
ed with situation which a former
president is making attacks on a pres
ent president, and the present presi-
dent is obliged to drop his real duties
to answer and slang back at the form
er president
The single-term amendment will
pass by big majority If 1t ever gets
to the people.-Chicago Journal.

UP TO Mr.. ROOSEVELT
SOME QUESTIONS VOTERS WOULD
LIKE TO HAVE ANSWERED.
People Are Naturally Interested In the
Matter Of Campaign Contributions
for the Third Term
Candidate

Now that Mr.. Roosevelt Is scream.
ing about Mr.. Taft's surrender to the
interests, Mr.. Taft Is charging that
Mr.. Roosevelt received corporation IA
vors and returns them In protection
and Mr.. Perkins Is artlessly confess
ing that he contributed to the cam
paign funds of both Mr.. Taft and Mr.
Roosevelt perhaps we can get inter
esting information we have long
sought.
We know that Mr.. Perkins gave the
Roosevelt fund $4,000 of insurance
money and that two other insurance
companies contributed $4,000 each.
We know from Mr.. Perkins testimony
that the Steel trust contributed to the
fund OF 1904.
We know that Mr.. Hartman raised
100000 for use In New York. We
know that Standard Oil sent 100000.
which Mr.. Roosevelt says he sent back.
Mr.. Armour boosted that the beef
trust contributed to Mr.. Roosevelt's
fund. We know that Mr.. Roosevelt
checked the prosecution of the har-
vester trust and gave the friendly
Morgan interests immunity in absorb
ing the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company. But this information is
fragmentary. If Mr.. Roosevelt really
is willing to have the whole truth
known he should tell the country pre-
cisely what trusts contributed to his
campaign fund and how much each
one contributed; he should answer,
or get Mr.. Cortelyou to answer, these
frequently repeated but so far unan-
swered questions OF the Post-Dis-
patch:
1. How much has the Beef trust con-
tributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
2. How much has the paper trust
contributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
3. How much has the coal trust con-
tributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
4. How much has the sugar trust
contributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
5. How much has thu oil trust con-
tributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
6. How much has the tobacco trust
contributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
z. How much has the steel trust con-
tributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
s. How much has the insurance
trust contributed to Mr. Cortelyou?
8. How much have the national
banks contributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
10. How much have the six great
railroad trusts contributed to Mr..
Cortelyou
Frank replies to these questions
would be a valuable contribution not
alone to the literature of the Roosevelt
third-term campaign. but to the polit-
ical history of the country.-St. LouiS
Post-Dispatch und't).

Democratic Opportunity.

The Democratic responsibility. no
less than the Democratic opportunity.
Is tremendous. for upon the Democrat

the country decent alternative in

ranks leaves the Republican party
helpless to continue effectively in

Enlistments For 7 Years

Adjutant General George Andrews
of the army has informed recruiting
officers that after November all enlist.
ments must be for a period Of seven
years instead of four years. This is the
first application to the recruiting service
of the lonR-term provision of the new
law. While the full enlistment term
will be seven years, only the first four
years will be for actual military service.
After that the soldier who does not care
to re-enlist will be transferred to the
army reserve, without pay or allowance.
but will be subject to call at a moments
notice.

STRIKE COSTS $1,000 A DAY
Nevada VIII Have to Foot Heavy Bill
in Ely Smelter Trouble

Carson Appeal: The strike at Ely is
an expensive affair all round. In the
instance of the State the weight falls
pretty heavily. The maintaining of
the Stare Police will b. in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000 per day, as between the
equipment. the commissary expenses
aud the mems pay for 100 men 1t will
average pretty close to $40 for each. or
$1,000 per dav. At this rate it figures
$4,000 per mouth. This. when the
present condition of the treasury Is
considered, is heavy drain on the
treasury and should the strike run go
days and the full equipment of men be
maintained. will about close out the
@ In on hand.
While the Ely smelters. or the Con-
solidated, is the heaviest bullion tax
payer in the State, yet it will take
some time to even mp affairs. The
bullion tax from this source has been
running about $4,000 per quarter.
raise from $1,000 per quarter. This
higher rate comes through the increased
price of copper in the past six months.
At the present time the smelters at
Ely are running. This is possible from
the fact that large accumulation of
concentrates were on hand. and it will
take some time to work them into mats.
Should the pit and concentrating mill
remain idle much longer it would force
the shut down of the smelter. In this
event all revenue to the State ceases
for the time at least While the ore
is there and will eventually be turned
into marketable product. yet shut
down to the entire plant means heavy
loss both to the State and the corpora
tions operating.

WHY NEVADA WOMEN
ARE INTERESTED IN
EQUAL SUFFRAGE

"rhe matter of the revision of the
tariff sched ules" is OF vital interest TO
the woman who must make both ends
meet, and Who must do it out of the
family income. Ii makes u difference
TO her what tariff is placed upon the
materials she uses. Ii makes a differ.
ence TO her what restrictions are put or
not put upon the commercial com bina-
tions that handle the articles which are
necessities to the household, whose
management is her business.
Therefore, she is interested in the
legislation that controls them. II she
earns her daily bread outside the home,
the regulations of industrial conditions
mean her comfort or lack of comfort. her
health, sometimes even her life.
The government is of eqnal Importance
to man and woman. Interest in the
right administration of the government
Is good citizenship and patriotism, and
man is more patriotic and a better
citizen If his mother was intelligent,
understood government and patriotism,
and taught them to him. Naturally
women will be more interested in these
things and will be more patriotic when
they are allowed to take part in the gov
ernment.
Some say, because women do not
hight, they should not be allowed to
vote. Now, if no men were allowed to
vote except those who are able and will
ing to do military and police duty,
women might consistently be debarred
for that reason. But so long as the old,
the infirm, the halt. the lame and the
blind are freely admitted to the ballot
box, some better reason must be found
for excluding women than the fact that
they dc not fight. Again, it must be
remembered. that it is women who fur
nish the soldiers.
Mrs. l.. G.. Wallace of Indiana, from
whom Gen Lew Wallace drew the por.
trait of the mother In "Ben Hur," said.
If women do not fight they give to the
State all its soldiers"
Lady Henry Somerset says, "She who
bears soldiers does not need to bear
arms"
Lucy Stone said, "Some woman risks
her life whenever a soldier is born into
the world" For years she does picket
duty beside his cradle. Later on she
is his quartermaster and gathers his
rations. And when that boy grows to
be a man shall he say to his mother.
"If you want to vote you must first go
and kill somebody" 1t is a towards
argument.
