At ELY
Belief That Men Will
Walk Out

ELY, New, Sept 3O-The labor
situation here tonight is critical and
! it is the general opinion that strike
of all men employed in the mining
industry in this district will be called
not later than tomorrow unless the
operators agree to recognize the
unions and grant the increase in
wages asked for last week.
The operators declare that ma
Jority of their employees are satisfied
with the voluntary raise of Is cents
la day effective tomorrow and refuse
to meet with any committee from
the labor unions to duscuss the situ-
alton
The labor union officials ale cuua1-
ly firm i'll their stand and say that
the increase granted by the compan-
les will not be accepted
The local unions at Riepetown and
McGill held meeting tonight, but
their action was not made known
Charles H, Moyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners. is di-
recting the affairs for the miners
union and said tonight that if
strike is called the steam shovel men
and sWltchmen on ore trains would
leave their work. Should these men
leave work it would shut off the sup
ply of ore for the mills and tie up
every branch of the work of the dis
trict
Petitions were circulated in McGill
and Copper Flat today addressed to
the company stating that the men
were satisfied with their scale and
would continue to work if adequate
protection is afforded them The Pc
titions were signed by only few of
the men, however
Manager Lakanen of the Nevada
Consolidated company issued
statement tonight in which he said
majority of his employees were
against a strike.
"The new wage scale offered the
men is materially higher than that
for similar work in NEST Of the in
dustrial plants of the West" said
Mr. Lakanen "I met a committee
OF employees representing machinists
this morning and we came to an
amicable settlement and I cannot
believe that these men will leave
their work"

NO TRACE
OF ESCAPE
CONVICT
Riley Wooten Dropped!
Off the Earth

Riley Wooten, who escaped from
the prison camp some months ago,
seems to have made good his escape
Since he left there has been no trace
OF the man who was supposed to
serve life sentence for murder
Wooten evidently had plenty of as
sistance in he departure, as his get
away was clean cut. no trace was
left and so far as the officers know
he jumped off the earth. Wooten
is husky mechanic. man who can
turn his hand at an honest living
and is useful wherever machinery
is in motion. One OF the state po-
lice officers stated some time ago
that he believed that he had made
his way TO the East where he could
easily find employment III any OF the
big mill or manufacturing centers.
As the east is large SCOPE it is
hard matter to figure lust where
Wooten is located

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 80
| In the building of the Panama canal
and the carrying out of vast irrga-
ton projects, the efficiency of a
democratic form of government as a
I constructive force in the world is
on trial. according to Senator Fran
ci> G. Ncwlands, who as president
spoke today before the national irri-
Cation congress.
At the outset Senator Newlands
said he opposed any attempt 10 i'm
pose heavy tolls on foreign ships for
their use of the Panama. canal. "It
is desirable that the great public
utility should in the end be self
compensatory he said. "and that
the tolls should cover admnistra-
ton and create sinking fund for
the bonds. So far as our coastwise
trade is concerned. the canal should
be considered a part of our inland
waterways. upon which it has been
customary, notwithstanding the
large expenditures of the govern
ment in the interest of navigation, to
impose no restrictions or burdens,
but the loss occasioned ov such re-
mission should be frankly imposed
upon the federal treasury and not
upon ships engaged in foreign trade
"FOreign countries could Justly
object to the imposition of the en-
tire coast of administration and bond
redemption upon foreign - ships:
they cannot object to the payment of
their proper proportion, determined
by their relative tonnage.

CHANCELLOR PITNEY'S CASE.

Chancellor Pitney's nomination for the Supreme
Bench ought to be rejected if he is not the right man
for the place. 1t ought not to be confirmed merely
because it has been made by the President and on
the other hand It ought not to be rejected merely
because some Senators do not like the President
can political advantage in such a course.
All very platitudinous no doubt To be more
specific, then it if the time has come when
the Senate ought to take seriously its part in naming
tie Federal judiciary.
1t used to reject candidates for the Supreme
and minor benches, with entire mpuniV of personal
considerations. 1t considered its part in making the
judiciary quite as serious as was that of the Pres-
dent; it made up its mind with just much delibera-
ton and care
Then came epoch, beginning with the Nc
Kinley regime in the White House, when the patron
age power was rather turned as perquiste Of
the Presidential office, and the Senate relaxed the
jealousy with which it had guarded its prerogatve.
The disposition became, more and more, to assume
that this was the Presidents business too often, to
nations was rather nominal and ministerial, and that
any nomination not actually scandaouS, ought to be
ratified.
That is not desirable Interpretation of the Sen
atoria relationship to patronage. Especially is it
an unfortunate Interpretation to be adopted in the
case of the judiciary. The very best information
and discretion of both the President and the Senate
should be brought to bear in every consideration of
judicial appointments.

THE END OF A BAD SYSTEM.

No faculty of prophecy is necessary to show the
observer of presentday political conditions that this
years Presidential campaign will mark tremen-
dous decline in the power of political machines. The
convention SYSTEM two generations DID, has been
marked by the upbuilding of the machine system
of politics to its highest perfection. But the conven-
ton system is now deCadent conventions will never
again be so important they have been in the past
the greatness of the national gathering, as maker
of men and of political fortunes, will be
gained.
This because the campaign of 1912 will mark
the end of the old system of boss-named delegates
making Presidential nominations and national plat
forms to suit the bosses. The old methods of manip-
ulation, the easy assumption that the people back
at home had no interest that the convention must
respect the making of JanuS-faced platforms and
the nomination of compromise candidates whose
chief claim was their utter colorlessness-all these
easy methods of the old regime will be checked when
the Presidential primary shall have brought the day
of the peoples real control.
Regardless of the results in this years fight for
the right of the primary Presidential test the poltl-
clans unanimous in recognizing that by 1916 the
primary will have captured the country This years
conventions win be the last to represent the machines
first and the people afterward Four years hence the
bosses will be dwarfed, the people magnifed, and
we will see the beginning of some curious changes
in political methods.

OTHER THINGS WORTHIER
OF MAIL BAG SPACE

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
l have been reading for some time
the numerous letters that have appeared
in the Mail Bag" Although interest
ing. 1t is difficult to imagine how sane.
educated, supposedly up-to-date men
and women can seriously discuss such
absurd questions as. for instance, "Jo-
nah and the Whale" "Noah's Ark"
lieves that the whale swallowed Jonah
and "B" believes Jonah swallowed the
whale, what difference does II make?
II "A's" conception of a God is one
who found it necessary and expedient
to construct an ark for the preservation
of His people, and "B" believes his God
never would or could have done any
thing so absurd and imPracticable why
waste time discussing the matter? II
a. believes that all who are not
Christians" God forgive the mis-
nomerD will be eternally damned, and
"B," on the other hand, finds 1t i'm
possible to impute to his God any at
tributes that are not of the highest and
noblest, and cannot, therefore, believe
in eternal punishment. why not let 1t
go at that? Discussion and wrangling
will not change the opinion of either
one. We do not believe as we do be-
cause We want to, but because we must
which is only the natural result of our
individual development. I believe we
grow in religion as in everything else.
The deplorable fact. in my opinion, is
that the great majority of christians"
are far behind the times in their
spiritual conceptions.
Why not take advantage of The
