Sharp Sayings About Free Wool.

Sharp Sayings About Free Wool.
Another flood-of free wool.

idea.
Those Texas Congressman certainly
got Wilson's goat.
Evidently the sheep industry is
not Legitimate industry"
Bryan waited sixteen long years
to get even with a poor sheep.

And to add insult to injury the
Australians threaten to show their
sheep at Frisco.
There was a reason" why Gov.
Wilson refused to commit himself
on the wool Tariff.
The wool grower is sentenced to
four years of hard labor, with no
chance for a pardon.
1t was "Rainey day" when the
Illinois Congressman saw the Presi-
dent about free wool.
Ida Tarbell will now proceed to
knit those free wool pajamas for
Emmy Hough's birthday.
The kangaroo" and the donkey"
will now feast on the dead carcass
of an American Merino buck.
Free wool cut short the political
career of one president, and you
know history generally repeats it's
seFff.
Free wool and 20 per cent duty on
mohair. We choke on words to ex-
press our feeling. Ye gods! What
next?
The Farmers Free List is the
biggest Tariff humbug ever perpe-
trated on the American farmer. but
the American farmer is too smart to
be caught by it. Barnum in his palmy
days would never have attempted
such a raw joke on the tiller of Am
erican soil.
AS sure as the sun shines a flood
of shoddy clothing will follow the
passage OF a free wool bill. 1t came
under Cleveland. 1t will come again.
We now have convincing proof that

PRISON SENTENCE
FOR JESSE CLARK

Jesse Clark, the young man
found guilty in the district court
last week charged with trying to
accomplish the ruin of a young
Caliente girl, was given an indie
terminate sentence by Judge Taber
Thursday morning.
Because of the youth of the ac-
cused, it was the desire of Judge
Taber to commit Clark to some in
dustrial school rather than to the
penitentiary. But IS the state is
not possessed with such an insti-
tute and the last Legislature made
no provision to send such charges as
Clark to other states. there was no
alternative than to send Clark to
the penitentiary. 1t is understood
however, that he will likely be Civ
en- place on the prison farm. ~
The sentence imposed is from FIVE
to ten years-Pioche Record. -

trail which was abandoned some
fifty years ago where tie Donner
party passed on their road to death
and disaster in the pioneer days.
They crossed the Humboldt river
at "Gravelly Ford" which was a
favorite rendezvous for indians on
the war path and was considered
the most dangerous place on the
overland trail. IT., ... ..-
The young ladies we're mounted

A HEROIC DEED

To save a human life a great
feat of strength was performed at
the Western Pacific's Elko shops
recently. While a machinest Mr.
Kellar was working under the pom
derous main driving rod Of an eu-
gine he did not observe that all
was not safe. George L. Ferrick
walking by the engine saw that
the driving rod was beginning to
slip. Quick as flash he yelled to
McKellar to escape and seized the
rod with both hands and held it till
McKellar had crawled from be-
meath. AS this driving rod weigh
ed 550 pounds the strain OIL Fer
rick was terrific. When he released
is hold on the rod blood was
streaming from his nose. After an
examination by the Company SUI
geon it was found that Ferrick had
two fractured ribs. This heroic
deed saved Mcclellan from being
cut in two McKellar formerly
resided in .Winnemucca where he
was operator in the Pictureland
theatre. Supt. Ogilvie granted Fer
rick a lay off until fully recovered
and with full pay.

body who knows Washington knows
Finly Gray, of Indiana. His tall,
gaunt figure. loosely knit, clad with
roughness suggestive of Lincoln
his thin, ascetic face, his shock of
untamed hair, and his deep set eyes
burning with zeal for the people
all combine to make his figure one
of the most familiar on the floor of
the House of Representatives.
Finly Gray is friend of the
people. He is a progressive. not
because progressiveism is politics
nowadays, but because he cannot
help it. He has always been pro-
gressive and was born one.
In his Congressional service he
has never been wrong" on any
matter of legislation. That is be-
cause he has never had to stop to
figure OUT the right and wrong of
a proposition. He works and votes
as he feels. The wrongs which
have been put upon the people the
blind struggle of the masses for
the easier conditions of life
these are in Finly Gray's heart.
He knows. And because ne is
such a man justifies me in setting
down. here portions of the speech
~. fGray made in the tariff de-
BATE. The words came straight
from his heart. The climax of
his speech was reached when he
exclaimed: 81 deny the principle
Of high protection as it effects the
vital necessaries of lite. / deny
the right to increase the cost of
necessities for private benefits
and render them more difficult to
obtain. | deny the right to main
tain system of tariff taxation
under which the cost of the vital
necessities of life have been raised
so high to the laboring man that
he can no longer with his own
hands and his labor support a
family. but must drive his child
rem out Of the cradle into the fac
tories and into the sweatshops to
earn their own living and burden
society with the curse of child lab
or" Mr.. Gray commented sarcas-
castically upon the fact that no man
had appeared to speak for the wool
en- trust in the debate, but all the
argument was in the guise of def
ending the working man. "This
plea of defending others Is a sub
terfuge as old as history, used to
divert attention from that which
cannot be openly defended" he
declared. every man who has
enslaved another man has enslav-
ed him under the claim that it
was for the benefit of the enslav-
