The democrats of Elko county
should weigh well the advice given
by Senator Newland. That many
of them have strong personal

cause of his long residence here. is
a we'll known fact. That friend

What will avail the people of this

DO the democrats of Elko county
want democratic president, whose
hands are tied by republican votes
in the senate and house? Or do
they want senate and house that
will support President Wilson in his
efforts to accomplish the reforms
demanded by the people? If they
want the latter, they should cast
their ballots for Key Pittman and
Clay Tallman. Any other course

HUNTED 'pOssUM AND COON

There is no better known
American than j. Adam Bede of
Minnesota, whose fame as writer
and political forecaster is more
than country wide. John Maynard
Harlan of Illinois is noted also as
one of the great writer's and care
full observers of the United States.
The two careful ard conscien-
tious Journalists do not make
political mistakes-for their present
high standing is the result of
years of past success therefore it
is not but reasonable that their
comprehension and observation of
things to come should bear weight.
These two have just completed
tour of the west with the great
Teddy, and they watched his
movements closely. When they
arrived in Omaha the other night
in speaking of their trip Mr.. Bede.

Mr.. Harlan, said:

political slaughter of the most
garrulous demagogue in American
history, a man who has talked
more and done less for the good of
his country than any one elevated
to the presidency. And Roosevelt
realizes his doom. That is why ne

his inurdinate lust fer power. his
insatiate thirst for revenge. They

The best that the republican
party can hope for is that this mad
Mullah will stay on the stump until
election day. His crowds are large.

prices for agricultural implements
for the American farmer?
1t may be very wicked to refer
to 1t hut | notice. in passing that
in 1911 this monopoly earned divi-
dends of 25.7 per cent on its pre-
ferred stock, and li.l5 per cent on
its common stock.
In 1910, it did little better:
that year the preferred netted
26.l per cent, and the common
l4.S5 per cent.
In 1909, the concern was also
prospering; it paid 24.82 per cent
on its preferred stock and 1882
per cent on its common stock.
Prior to 1907 the capitalization
of this concern. as have said. was
about SS,0O0.O0O.OO, and prior to
that year the institution had earned
dividends as follows:
1906 upon its stock, common
and preferred, 6.54 per cent; 1905,
6.23 per cent; 1904, All per
cent; 1908. with a capital of
$5,64l,lS4.00. it paid a dividend
of only 40 per cent. 1t did not
have a monopoly until 1907.
Th1 people will be able to ap-
preciate the difference between
monopoly profits and the profits
made by concern still having
competitor when they compare the
All per cent dividend of 1908,
when there was not a monopoly.
As profits in the end are paid by
the consumers, it is manifest that
this monopoly has been most pro-
fitable venture for Mr.. Perkins,
and most Improbable one for the
farmer.
No wonder Wilson cannot so
state bic views as to meet with the
appreciation of Brother Perkins.

The officials claim that the note,
will be couched in the firmest and
most uncompromising spirit. The
administration has been brought to
this attitude by the unexpectedly de-
fiant tone of the Mexican reply to
Secretary KnoXs note of last Septem-
Der in which the secretary earnestly
requested the Mexican government
to take steps to preserve the lives of
Americans and their property The
Mexican reply was full of resentment
and even went so far as 10 impugn
the accuracy OF the secretary's state
ments. II was charged that many
Americans who had complained We're
themselves to blame, having secretly
participated in the rebellion. and that
the Orozco uprising could not have
happened had not Americans aided
it.
The statement now coming from
Secretary Knox will place the matter
squarely before Madero and oblige
him to be more just in his complaints
against the United States.
