Sidney story of New Orleans, who is

his way home from Washington, is at
the Hotel Tillman. He Is prominent
citizen of Louisiana and as a ship
owner was identified with efforts to
estab blish what was known as the Pan

He appeared as a witness in the con-
gressional probe" of the so-called
shipping trust. The investigation is
being conducted by the House merchant
marine committee. That committees
inquiry has been directed toward the
question of determining whether the
foreign lines operating between the Uni

erican ports had any agreements or
working arrangements that amount TO
a control of commerce.
Pan n-American Mail
A report in the Washington Star OF
last week set forth that Mr.. Story de-
tailed the movement of New orleans
business men to establish new line OF
steamers to South America. The Pan
American Mail, Mr.. Story said, was
started with three chartered ships In
June, 1912, but the company, 1t is said,
was compelled to withdraw its line be-
cause the ships were forced TO come
back empty.

NEEDS A POST MORTEM

Efforts are being made all over the country to resuscltatc
the late Republican party. Rencently in California a attempt
was made to get the party leaders together with the idea o o III
sort of reorganization. The parties who issued the call TO Inc
faithful had but a shadowy idea of what was to be done and It
is evident that the persons who received the letters of invitation
were equally at sea.
In the old days an occasion like that would bring the old
war horses to the conference at a few hours notice but after
DAYS and days spent in beating the bush but a corporate guard
attended the conference and the secretary found a pile OF letters
as big as a haystack from those who sent regrets and adroltly
framed excuses for their absence.
1t is apparent to a blind man that the Republican party IN
California is too dead to skin.
For some weeks past the leaders of the Republican party
in the Sagebrush state have been feeling the pulse of the party
with a view of ascertainng if any life remains in the body. SO
far the tests have failed to reveal any. 1t was supposed Tor a
while that the party was merely in a trance and would eventually
come out of it. Hope has recently given way to well grounded
belief that life is absolutely extinct and that rigor mortis has
set in.
The test of holding a mirror before the mouth in the hope of
clouding the glass with moisture has been tried, but the glass
remains unsulied.
Some eminent physicians claim that if the sole of the foot
is blistered with a candle flame that a watery blister indicates
life and a dry blister death. Doctors have told us they have APP
Piled both tests with no encouraging signs. Everything has been
done that is possible with no definite results. The only thing iet
is to pay the hospital bills, discharge the physicians and trained
nurses and hold the usual post norton.

LA TOILETTE

Every member of either house who refrained from trying
to embarrass the Democrats on the tariff bill deserves credit, but
to no one man falls the greatest share of glory for independence
because it cost him most. Especially did Senator La Toilette S
situation require strength of character; not only had he always
been a Republican, but he had, since the Roosevelt split, come to
be looked upon as likely to dominate the party in the future. AS
progressiveness seemed needed to save it from the destruction, La
Folette's influence had suddenly been multiplied. In voting for
the Democratic tariff he gave a final proof that n consideration
can prevent him from following always his conviction. This man
has fought the straight fight all his life. Often the sacrifice has
been great. He has given up friends, money, comfort, party praise,
easy advance. He has stood abuse and suspicion. Nearly always
the country and his party have come around finally to La Fol
lettes position. This last proof of patriotism may annoy the
Republican senator's for the time being, but it will probably mean
that La Toilette influence, even over them, will be strengthened
in the end; because a man who is S o experienced, strong, far
sighted, and fearless is badly needed.b by the party now-Tarper's
Weekly.

ton. Total receipts were 1902, 34745, awards 1926 1923 and adj
ditional liabilities were 1859, 500, q, leaving a net balance of 1892,
ASIA, which was turned over to the industrial commissions when
it took charge OF the compensation work. There had been 10000
damage claims filed and 5000 paid.
In the eighteen months the business grew from seven eases
per month to 1900. Twenty three deaths were reported, three
being denied compensations because death was not met in course
of duty Awards IAN from 81 $50 to So, 400 in each ease.
As a result of the safety devices installed the number of acct
dents and deaths has been reduced in factories. Of the first ten
thousand eases reported injuries We're distributed as follows:

The Wells-Fargo company complains of having lost 4 mil
lion and a half by the lowering of rates by the Interstate Com

have been able to save that much by the ruling. If the express
company lost a million a month it would still be a long way ahead
of the game. 1t has had its hands in the pocket of the public

FOrty-Six Tons of Bullion

The shipments of bullion and concentrates from TonoLah on
Friday amounted to rs tons, valued at $211 OS6.3 80, with all the

The News is in r. in stating that Governor Oddie's lass
proclamation had been given no publicity. 1t was published in the
Appeal, therefore, it is now statewide property. And with regard
to the proclamation, it's suggestions should be adopted by every
housewife, restaurant and hotel man in the state. If Nevada can
be made free Of the sugar barons, it means that just s. much more

without regard to tariff, if it receives the proper kind of support.
Carefully compiled statistics show that the prices of all com
modities in the United States have risen 467 per cent since the
Dingley law was passed in 1897. Equally reliable stahstics-all
compiled by the government-show that wages increased but 2s8
per cent during the same period. The p per cent tariff tax of
the new Democratic tariff law, which replaces the 46 per cent
tariff tax of the Dngley law, will materially reduce the gap be
tween wages and prices that now exists, just a the 46 per cent
tax of the Dingley law widened that gap.
Governor Hiram johnson of California is quite sur that there
