THE TEST OF
POLITICAL HONESTY

We have heard nothing from
Roosevelt to the effect that the
Illinois primary was conducted
fraudulently, despite the report
that the steel and harvester trust
spent half a million dollars for him.
or course not, because Roosevelt
won there and wherever he wins
you may be sure there is nothing
wrong
Had he won in that state the
reputation Of that state would not
lave been blasted Had he won in
Indiana. we might still regard the
HoosierA Rs honest. Had he won
in New York. we should have
heard no word Of accusation or
cry Of outrage. But he lost in
North Dakots, New York and
Indiana and therefore the majority
of the people in those three states
are crooks or reactionaries.
And so we announce these
truths as Telf-evident:
A primary is an honest primary
when Roosevelt wins.
A primary is dishonest primary
when Roosevelt loses.
a pledge is not a pledge when il
is made by Roosevelt.
A promise can never he violated
with impunity except when it is
made by Roosevelt.
A citizen is always liar when
he disagrees with Roosevelt and
always an enemy OF the public
welfare when he refuses to swallow
the Roosevelt nostrums.
Political honesty consists of
being for Roosevelt, or changing
with him. reversing with him.
intriguing with him-in fact Of
believing in a government Of
Roosevelt. for Roosevelt and by
Roosevelt Exchange.

THE TITANIC DISASTER

The more we read OF the IT,
tanic disaster the more the opiniun
grows that Captain Smith was
careless Of the lives and property
in his charge. Warned the day
before the awful accident to his
ship that an ice field was in front
Of him. he seemingly paid no heed
to the warning bat crowded on
more steam in order to make
more speed and win a record for
his splendid ship. This would
make the Titanic famous the world
over and bring u harvest Of gold to
its owners. This is the way the
Captains actin appears to us.
1t may be that Captain Smiths S
supreme confidence in the ability of
his ship to withstand all dangers
of the sea warped his judgement.
But even il this he true, he should,
as q prudent man. have avoided
the ice field he knew WAS in his
front.
Captain Smith may have been
careless and negligent of the lives
of his passengers but when the
supreme test came he proved him
self every inch a hero. He saw
that the women and children were
put in the life boats and stayed
with his ship until IL sunk beneath
the waves II may be that IL is
cruel TO even intimate that he was
negligent and careless, bat that is
the way II looks TO an ordinary
man who knows nothing about The
sea.

JUDGING MEN IN SENTENCES

N s. ntencing Federal prisoners
for selling whisky to Indians Judge
Facri gton has a habit of sizing up
the victim. A few ell.directed
words generally brings forth re-.
suits. A man who has fallen into
evil ways by liquor and is a first
offender generally gets tFe
benefit of justice and mercy.
Some fatherly advice is given and
a light sentence follows.
Then there is the class that
comes up who are absolutely ne'er-
do-wells; men who would live
from selling whisky to Indians.
drugs, or anything to avoid work.
In such cases as rule they stand
trial and when found guilty the
Judge generally find them con-
venient place at McNeil's Island or
some other port where they will be
out of temptations way.
During the next week the Judge
will he busy dispensing justice
with mercy and where il falls the
public can rest assured that he has

HEAVY DAMADES

A jury in the United States
court at Carson Thursday in the
case of A. F. Benner and others
against the Truckee River General
Electric company brought in a
verdict assessing damages for the
death of Clarence Benner at $1,000
This is uut $500 less than the am
cunt assessed ky the jury On the
first trial of the case.
The suit arose over Clarence
Benner who was electrocuted when
he came in contact with an
electric current in leaning against
q sheet of corrugated iron at the
mouth of mine on the Comstock.
The iron rubbed against a live
wire, bearing a heavy voltage, and
the current was sent through
Benner's body, killing him instantly.
The puint on which the new
trial was secured did not seem to
make much difference with the
second jury. 1t was claimed that
the judge erred in permitting the
question of exemplary damages to
90 to the jury. rhe evidence did
not show very clearly what loss
was sustained by the plaintiffs by
the death, they being brother and
sister # the deceased, so the pre-
sumption was that the damages
were found as exemplary or
punitive damages. In the present
trial this error was omitted but
it had little effect on the amount of
the verdict.
