How do you vote!
Do you believe that the Protestant
church and the public schools have
made our country different from the
countries OF the old world where. for
centuries. ignorance. superstition and
poverty have prevailed under the
domination Of the Roman Catholic
church?
DO you believe that the object OF
the Roman Catholic church In oppos.
ing the American Public School and
compelling the attendance OF its chill
dren on parochial schools. is TO i'm.
press on the plastic minds OF the
children. the awe and reverence for
the leaders OF the church that will
induce them, during life. and after.

readily give up the vast sums or
money needed for the maintenance
OF that expensive and luxurious church

rooms filled with treasures worth
untold millions. and It's many churches
throughout the world with their costly
altars, pictures, robes and other fix-
lures; its army OF poor benighted wo.

the Roman Catholic countries, as
they become more intelligent and Inn

put a grain OF faith In his claim.

Jesus said: For God 80 loved the

The pope says, God 80 loved the

How many times has the European

meddling with the AFFAIRS Of the ma
tionl And now he has made up his
mind TO meddle with the affairs OF
Uncle Sam. Let every American citi-

The pope has very good reasons for
opposing our free public schools. He

upper class: he can blarney them and
buy them on without much trouble.

NOT JUSTIFIED

Mr.. Fred C. Weight in the Free
Press does not justify his issuing a
marriage license to a minor, with.
ont taking from him the required
affidavit. The affidavit is not on
file in his office. he did not, take it,
and as consequence great harm
and damage has been done.
Remember, too, that in the other
rase mentioned in the list of his
official plumbers. the fathers con-
sent was absolutely necessary by
his failure to demand and secure
this, the law was clearly violated,
and very great harm and damage
has resulted.

have passed more constructive
legislation during their COM
paratively brief tenure than per-
haps the country ever before wit
messed in like period. Were it
not for the outrageous abuse of the
vetoing power on the part of the
executive the country would at
present be enjoying relief from ex-
cessive tariffs and many other evils
that we are obliged to suffer.
Without a democratic congress.
President Wilson will be powerless
to accomplish the great reforms
promised by the Baltimore plat
form. fie can only be efficient if
the legislative branch of the gov
eminent is in harmony with him.
Keep this in mind when you mark
your ballot tomorrow, and after
voting for Wilson follow down the
line and vote for a democratic
senator and congressman. Don't
take any chances by voting for
Massey and Roberts. They will
oppose every effort of President
Wilson to reform the abuses under
which the country is suffering.
Key Pittman and Clay Tallman will
assist in accomplishing the reforms
demanded by the people. Don't
kill your vote for Wilson and Mar
shall by voting for Massey or
Roberts. Stand by your principles
all down the line.

OUR LAST WORD

. r.
To The Voters Of Elko county
This is the last issue Of the
Independent before the election
the next issue will contain the re
suit of one of the most important
elections sever held in our Federal,
State or County history. 1t has
been our intention and endeavor
during this entire campaign to pre-
sent the issues involved fully, fairly
and fearlessly. We have espuused
the cause of our choice of candi-
dates from our estimate of the
character of the men and the
principles they represent. We
have fairly and honestly opposed
the men whose official actions and
records have not met with our ap-
proval, and whose political prin-
ciples have been contrary to ours.
We hope and believe we have made
no mistakes; if we have, we now in
all cundor and fairness extend our
apologies. No personal harm was
intended for any one. 1t has
been with us simply a question of
men and principles, and that, too,
of the men only, who are before
you as candidates for office, ard
the principles only involved in this
campaign. No others have any
place in Yonr thoughts. and should
not be considered by you. The
entire matter now rests in your
hands. In accord with the under
lying principles of this great gov
eminent of ours--the secret, the
silent, the solemn ballot-you are
to decide whom you want as your
official servants, and what prin-
ciples you elect to prevail. Per-
form this great civic duty intelli
gently and conscientiously, as you,
and you only, can do and we bow
in humble submission to your great
will, in full confidence that by the
result our Federal, State and
County Government will move on
and up to greater and grander
achievements.

WANTED: AN
EFFICIENT PRESIDENT

Il. considering the qualifications
Of each of the applicants for the
Presidency of the United States, it
behooves us to take care to select
man who will be able to act in
harmony with his assistants.
Nothing is more embarrassing OF
more detrimental to the progress of
an enterprise than to have the
head Of such enterprise at daggers'
points with his colleagues. Con.
sidered in this light, the question
should prove, easy to answer.
President Taft came into office
hailed as great peacemaker. His
rampaging predecessor changed
cabinet off as readily as he
changed clothes. Whenever there
was mistake to be patched up,
some head had to fall. During the
latter period of this term of office,
his recommendations were ignored
by congress, and he in turn ignored
the legislation Of the peoples rep.
resentatives.
As pescemayer, Mr.. Taft has
proved to be great failure from
the very start. The whole country
was shocked by the BalIinger-Pinch-
OF controversy with the result that
today the republican party is hope.
lessly split asunder.
The democrats came into
majority in the house, and, not
withstanding all prophecy to the
contrary, they are working to.
