Temperamental and family differences

Madame Schumann- Heink had
eight children by her two former

piled to the Essex courts for natural

that | would return whenever it was

that the officers were arranging to

Ryan RECEIVERS sufficiently from the

prepared. When | go back TO Butte
I'll be ready for any emergency and
I'll probably prove troublesome if
they try to attack me-"
The door to Davis's room at a To-
cal hotel is always barricaded with a
chair. When a knock comes at the
door Davis stands to one side, reaches
over with his left hand and remove
the chair, holding his revolver with

the police wished Davis to be ready
to return to Butte on receipt of tele-
graphic information that he was

old-time fiend of Davis, is lookins
after his interests in Butte.

As TO Gov" CoLBCRN.

Charles Colburn member of the
state tax commission, who arrived in
Elko Tuesday with his colleagues.
]. F. s~haughnessy and Emmett Boyle
is ayerse to discussing politics while
on the trip. and as a matter of fact
the entire commission is not permit
ed 10 take part in any political dis
cussions. as such action is barred by
the statutes. says the Elko Free
Press.
Nevertheless, Colburn has a griey-
ance. He has troubles and is con-
stantly reminded of them by both
S~haughnessy and Boyle.
1t appears that kind newspaper
friends in the western part of the
state have nominated both shaugh-
messy and Boyle as Democratic candi-
dates for governor, while Colburn
thus far has been overlooked for the
same honors By the Republican press,
as he is affiliated with the latter par
ty. Naturally the W. Democratic
members of the committee carry
their latest honors with considerable
dignity and eve overlook an oppor-
tunity of informing Colburn that he
is only a member of the rank and file
of his party and must always assume
a respectful air in addressing his col
leagues.
Colburn is commencing to feel
grieved over the sighting attitude of
his own party. especially in view Of
the fact that no Republican candi-
dates have been announced for the
gubernatorial honors, and also over
the actions of his fellow commission
ers, who never overlook an oppor-
tunity of rubbing it in"
An incident of the in which
Colburn is being treated occurred last
Tuesday in the Free Press Office,

toral desk and were eontentedly puff
ing away on stogies distracted from

dressing Shaughnessy, what
Kindly call me governor" inter-
rupted Shaughnessy.
What do you think of that, En-
mett?" asked Colburn, turning his
attention to Boyle.
Call me governor Also" replied
Boyle.
oh. hell" retorted Colburn. q
am not so particular. You can call
me Charlie. Good night"
1t is o to be wondered that Col
burn is nursing a crouch and his only
salvation now is to have some paper
confer the gubernatorial honors upon
him. In the meantime he will be
forced to address his confreres by
their newly acquired titles of Gov
ernor."

$4,000 FIRE A SUNDAY
INCIDENT IN RED LIGHT

\ fire in the restricted district.
early Sunday afternoon. burned OUT
eight cribs and one saloon and did
property damage % an amount esti-
mated from $1,000 to $4,000. The
buildings burned were owned by
Ethel Kraft and Hugh Wilson. and
the total insurance was 5000 carried
BY Miss Kraft. The FIRE was a
spectacular one. and for a few min

The fire broke out at 1:30, mid
way of the line in the block last of
Ruby's Place, and is said TO have re-
suited from an oyerheated stove in 4

to the nature OF the buildings the

lines were run in such a manner as

area. The drift of the breeze was
from the west. and at the height of
the blaze thick clouds of smoke car

streets and property owners and busi-
ness men In that section of the city
had an anxious quarter of an hour
until il was seen that the fremen
were winning out. Hose lines Were
laid from hydrants protecting the
business section, to be IN readiness In
case buildings became ignited from
flying brands.
The fire attracted a big crowd, and
there was a general effort on the part
of spectators and firemen to save as
much as possible of the personal
property of the occupants of the
cribs, but Notwithstanding the loss 10
individuals from fire n water was
severe. and many of the girls affect
ed by the fire lost everything they
possessed in the way of wearing ap-
parel and other belongings.
Building operations IN the burned
area are already under way to re-
place the cribs destroyed, and prob
ably a more substantial type of
structures will be erected. Miss
Kraft has decided on a modern two
story brick building. with steam heat
and other conveniences, which will
be a decided contrast to the nimsy
shacks that have constituted the red
lights architectural lines. The sa-
loon burned was known as the MY

Mr.. Wilson had cancelled insur-
ance TO the extent of one thousand
dollars, bat a few days before the
fire.

ROOSEVELT ON THE NEW PARTY

Col. Roosevelt has gone on a long
trip to South America, but will prob
ably survive the dangers of the
jungle travel and be back in the
actiye arena of American politics by
time of the next presidential cam
paign. Before he left he reviewed
in the October Century, the existence
of the Progressive party. and found
absence of real distinction between
old parties and the rise of new issues
as being the cause of the new party's
birth. He finds that most of the
vital issues of the day. have become
such within the lifetime of the pres
emf generation, due to profound So
cial and economic changes of the
last century.
He refers to Taft's recent Yale
lectures as giving the theoretical
justification for the course of such
men as Penrose and Smoot. He
charges that the destinies of the Re-
publican party today are given over
10 a committee of irresponsible and
obscure politicians. From the Demo-
cratic party he says the Progressives
are divided both because of the in
conference of that party and because
the doctrines of it are false or set
forth so vaguely as not to be under
stood. Their only performance so
far is the passage of the tariff bill
and that is merely a red herring
across the trail of real economic
issues. So far there had been no
evidence that the Democratic tariff
would decrease the cost OF living, He
finds in President Wilson's New
Freedom book not one affirmative
suggestion as to how TO deal with the
trusts. He cites the Progressive
pianks dealing with social and in
dustrial justice as being concrete and
definite, specific and reasoned pur-
poses Of a great political party
for the first time in our history.

rural life and il would require of the

THE PART.

Now the News Letter appears as
the apologist OF the Digs stamp Of

Mann act be so changed that the
girl or woman who participates in
the Joy OF unaeeustomed pleasures

violation of the law with the man,
complaining that the man alone nov
bears the brunt OF the suffering
which the Law metes out.

Upon the man has been visited no
punishment more severe than be-
holding the tears Of his Outraged
wife. and TO such men tears bring
little of the suffering which is sup
uposed to accompany punishment
The Mann act requires him TO pay a
penalty for his mlsdeeds. A few
years in the penitentiary is not a
greater punishment than Is the life OF

must endure. and from which no
governor can release her. There Is
