LEARNING THE PEOPLES NEEDS

Senator Massey is making a cam
paign which will place him in a po-
sition to know the needs of the peo-
pie of Nevada when he is sent back
to Washington to battle for their in
terests. He is meeting the people of
the state personally. getting ac-
quainted with them in a friendly
way, hearing from their own lips the
needs. of Nevada. When Senator
Massey meets a man he makes a
friend. He is one of those affable,
earnest, intelligent men who natural
ly attracts, because the evidence of
his ability is indelibly stamped in his
manner.
If Senator Massey could meet
every voter in the state, he would
score a sweeping victory. Every
voter who can possibly do so, should
make the acquaintance of the SEN
ator. He should know him because
he is the mouth piece through which
the voter gets action at Washington.
He should meet him because the
meeting will open the eyes of the
person to the real worth and intelli-
gence and broadness of the senator.
To meet Senator Massey personally
is to vote for him. Make II a point
to see the senator.

"A No. J." the king of hoboes will

paint his cognomen in faring letters
on the deadwalls from one end of the
United States to the other. "A No.

A few days ago he slipped from the
rods of a passenger train near New
Orleans, was caught by the trucks of
the heavy coach and literally ground
to death. The friend of Jack London
and the advisor of youthful ad-
v%enturers died in harness but count
less thousands of monuments are left
TO testify to his active existence. "A
No. 1" was Al years old and was
born in San Francisco of parents Of
moderate means and some culture.
But the call of the Wild was in his
blood. and although possessed of a
fair education, he gave up excellent
prospects and became a hobo in every
sense of the word. He early deter
mined TO travel 1000. 600 miles on
the railroads of the country without
paying of fare, and up to the time of
his death had practically fulfilled
that ambition.
His real name is not known. He
was the author of a book on his ex-
perience as a hobo and its sale netted
him a comfortable sum, which he set
aside to be given to orphans at his
death. From the proceeds he held
out a sum sufficient to buy a tomb
stone for himself, and it stands today
on a beautiful spot near Cambridge
Springs, Pennsylvania. The stone
bears this epitaph:

She was principal speaker at a great

she says woman suffrage is regarded
with special favor. The Chinese
speakers, both men and women,
stated that as women had played a
prominent part in the recent uprising
forming revolutionary societies and

capacities, they had earned their
right to the ballot on equal terms

WHAT EYE HATH NOT SEEN.

We feel infinite compassion for
those unfortunates who are born
into the world blind or deaf or dumb.
We think of all that they must neces-
sarily miss; the gorgeous eolors Of
sunrise and sunset; the rich. en-
erald green of a spring landscape;
the ruby and gold of a northern au-
tumn. When We listen to the sub
lime music wrought by a master
touch on violin or piano, or sit en-
traneed as We hear the voices Of
those who lead us from the shadowy
wales of everyday life to the mountain
tops of happiness with their ex-
uuisite harmonies of deathless song.
we sorrow for the sad lot of those
who can never appreciate nor under
stand in the slightest degree these
delights of sense perception.
They are like barren. isolated Is
lands in a wide. wide sea, and. so far
as existence is concerend. it were
better, mayhap. had they never been
born. There has been but one Helen
Keller, but one Laura Bridgman.
All the others have not as much en-
joyment as the lower forms of life
that are endowed with all their IA
tural senses.
And yet We are not much better
off with our splendid gift of sight
and hearing, If We consider all the
wonderful phenomena about us of
which We know the existence, but
cannot perceive by any of our senses.
If an inhabitant of some other planet
where sense development has reach
ed its highest perfection, were TO
visit this world of ours, he might re-
gard us in very much the same way
as We regard the sense-bound-

PRESIDENT MOVERS IDEA.

In view of the existing strained
relations between the striking en-
ployes and the mining companies in
the Ely district, the suggestion of
President Meyer of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners that the employers
and the employees get together and
settle the question in a mutually
satisfactory manner, seems to offer
a happy solution of a difficulty
fraught with serious consequences if
an agreement is not reached within
a short time, and it would seem
logical to suppose that it would meet
with the approval of all concerned.
Anyone is willing TO concede that
a strike long continued, or for that
matter of short duration, is bound to
result in hardships to say the least,
and that the loss from a financial
point of view Is or mutual consid-
GRAFTON. The companies, the en-
ployes and the community in which
the strike prevails all suffer in a
greater or less degree, and the long
er a strike is continued, the longer
the period of recuperation.
1t is hoped that the suggestion of
President Meyer will be acted upon
and that a meeting may be arranged
for that will result in a settlement
of mutual satisfaction.

ANOTHER WILSON FIND.


Democrat. writing from Denville, H.,
a place renowned for conservatism,
artillery and rampageous elephants,
has made another interesting find in
the literary remains of Prof. Wilson.
We add it to the aceumulating col
lection of rare and racy things
thought and said by Woodrow in the
days when. as college professor. in
close touch with all of the dilletanti
OF that great town, he was giving
blithesome expression to all that was
in him of contempt for the plain peo-
pie and the common people and all
of their leaders and prophets.
This Danville excavation in Viii
son archaeology is one of the best of
its kind. 1t is unearthed from a
period of July. 1895. To that maya
zine of that date Prof. Wilson con
tributed what was called a patriotic
essay, and it may have been what it
purported to be. but not from the
viewpoint of Democrats. 1t singled
out the founder of the Democratic
party, Thomas jefferson, and one of
its greatest leaders Thomas II. Ben
ton. as shining marks for shafts of
wit, not to say "invectiye." JEFF
ferson was un-American," wrote the
professor in all of the wild and free
abandon of those clustered days.
thoroughly un-American because of
the strain of French philosophy that
permeated and weakened all his
thought What awful echoes out of
the past are these, coming untimely
to mar that sweet music in which the
professor, nov leading the Jefferso-
MAN Democracy is sounding the
saw afar all the problems of
today and solved them all in the
cryptic phrase: Equal rights to all
and special privileges for none" Is
that declaration, which gets into
every national Democratic platform
before election and out of it after
ward, only an echo of French phil
osophy?" And is the professor a
French philosopher because he has
been quoting it, in this campaign, in
nearly every speech he has made?
Is the professor now, as the fore
most disciple of jefferson and JEFF
ferson's party. talking through his
nose?
Equal rights TO all and special
privileges to nonei" We have often
said that, in the hands of the Demo-
cratic party, nothing more meaning
less than this ever has been uttered.
1t is fitting and proper that that
party should at least have nominal
ed for president m who has de-
nounced it as a special philosophy"
which lis exotic and runs like a false
and artificial note through all JEFF
ferson's thought What sort of JEFF
fersonian administration would Will
son give the Jeffersonian party? The
sentiments of 1895 carry a much
deeper stamp of sincere conviction
than do any of the late re~cantations
made under the spur of a selfish
ambition. Should the professor take
to singing the Marsellaise on the
stump he could o convince us that
he has been converted to Jefferson's
French philosophy"

FARM MORTGAGES HAVE GROWN
UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE

Ten years of unexampled prosperity
for the protected trusts have left
marks of debt and dependency upon
American farmers The story of this
is told in a Census Bureau bulletin
just issued.
Figures in this report show that Of
the 1851 ,502 farms of all kinds in the
United States 3,948,722, made returns,
as to their being subject to mortgage,
and the results show that 1,327439 OF
these are mortgaged, an increase in
1910 of nearly is per cent over 1900,
and 1921 ,283 are not mortgaged, an
increase of only 4 IL per cent.
Of the rema ming 2,412,78 farms the
bureau discreetly makes no report on
the subject of mortgages, but it is sig
nificant that of these 5S.104 per cent
are operated by managers and 1884,
676 are occupied by tenants.
1t is true, as pointed out by the bu-
reau, that mortgages on farm property
are not necessarily an indication 81
hardship, and it is also undoubtedly
true, as the bureau explains, that
farm values have increased, and in
creased far in excess of the aggIe gate
mortgage debt, but neither of these
explanations can explain or clear
away the appalling growth of tenan-
try
No matter how the Washington of
ticals may juggle the figures; taken
as a whole and carefully analysed
they show clearly where the blight oil
privilege, p7utocracy and national ex-
travagance has fallen. We have agri-
culture, once the freest and proudest
institutions we had, bending under q
growing debt We have one-third OF
the American citizens who pursue il
unable to own the soil they toll.
Who owns these millions of rented
farms? They are owned CHI efly by
the money lenders, whose mortgages
have been force osed. This undesir-
able condition in our agricu'tu raI
communities should spur on whatevei
party comes into power after March

CULTIVATE CHEERFULNESS AS
AN IDEAL

A Western railroad is trying to en-
ploy only men who have no "domest c
troubles, the theory being that only
those employees whose minds are NOT
distracted by worry of any kind can
be truly efficient
The attempt of this railroad to avoid
accidents and TO reduce the liability
of human error in transportation OPP
erat on to minimum in this manner is
aiming at a far-distant target, with
little hope of many bulls eyes being
made The railroad company will
have to go far aiield to find men who
never worry over their domestic
| troubles" or anything else Few such
Aperfect men exist in the world, and
those few, even f they could be isolat-
ed and made available, would not be
the kind of material out Of which to
make successful railroad men, or ca
pa5le employees at any calling. Per-
+ h2ps the only type Of man in this
wor d who is free from worry incident
to his connection with soc ETY. is the
tramp. Surely this railroad is not
contemplating drawing its future sup
ply of engineers, conductors and
brahomen from the army Of care-free
knights of the road.
Yet this company is aiming at an
ideal which most of us would do well
to cultivate more than we dc now. To
cultivate a cheerful spirit shou d be
the aim and purpose Of everyone, and
to avoid mingling home worries ana
bus Eess.
Most men and women worry too

hes. Some people when for the NOM
ent they have no actual causes for
VERY invent them These classes OF
people are daily erecting barriers
which prevent them from attaining a
III Ter measure Of success in life and
they are to be D tied
But on the other hand the most pee
wish of the men and women who worry
are to be preferred, when results are
desired, to the men and women who
never worry at all. A person who
never worries is pretty apt to be an
ahnormal nerson. or one who is shift
less or lazy. In fact the person who
never worries is generally a poor
stick all around
1t is the men who do worry, as ev-
err normal person must worry to
some extent or other, because their
lives and work are of serious import
to them, but who are able to forget
their worries when there is work to
be done, who make the world &c

N supply of rubber is derived
from a species of the Hevea
tree, but considerable guam
titles are secured from the Castilloa,

Der of other trees and vines yield rub
Der and several of them are under ex-
detrimental observation with promise
of successful outcome of their Cultiva-
ton. The production of rubber during
the year 1911 was about $4,000 tons.
More than half of this quantity came
from South and Central America,
about ene-th.rd from Africa, and al
most all the remainder from Asia. The
Asiatic output now includes 5000 or
more tons of plantation rubber. The
valley Of the Amazon is by far the
greatest source of rubber supply. The
shipments from Brazil are equal to
fully one-third Of the worlds supply,
and for the first quarter Of 1912 were
valued at $27,5O0,000.
The cost Of producing rubber is
about % cents pound, and this ap-
plies equally to the wild and planta-
ton product. In the case of the for
mer, labor is very cheap and there is
no investment in land nor plantation
to carry, but transportation Is eXpen-
sive. In the plantation regions day la
Dor is more costly but, as the trees
are grouped, a man can gather
greater quantity in given time than
he could in the forest. shipment from
the plantation is easy and economical,
but the process of production involves

money than are devoted to the prep
aration Of wild rubber for the market.
