GOOD BUSINESS gzkso--s.

AS long rs party cmblems and par
ty tickets are used in elections there
will naturally be that party jealousy
which exists in all campaigns. This
applies to the coming city election
and the members OF every party con
cerned desire to see their party rep
resented, especially on the Board OF
Affairs. 1t is we'll that We have par
ty rivalry and it is a good thing for
the city that no one party a get
absolute control of the city govern
ment and the election machinery.

Since parties are, to be recognized
as such in the election next month
the question naturally arises as to
what course will be the best for the
city. The Republican and Demo-
cratic parties represent about so per
cent Of the voting population of the
city. They not only represent the
larger part of the voters but they
represent about the same proportion,
or even more, of the taxable property
of the city. The three other parties

Yes, the short cut method Is all
right but you know that there will

FOLLOWING THE pECoY.

Il|L#
The Democrats in congress have at
last scented one of the reasons for
the high cost of living and have COM
menced to probe the cold storage
trust. We tried to remind them,
when they we're preaching tariff re-
form until they were blue in the
face that they were, On the wrong
tack andt that tariff reductions
would n6t fnang way reduce the re-
tail prise offs the necessities of life.
They hsye By following the decoy Of
tariff reform let fthe trail get cold
but il theySwill follow the scent that
has at last been picked up they may
yet be able TO- accomplish something
Of real value to the consumer. Con-
gress has shown its ability to regu-
late most anything. 1t has regulated
the railroads until they have been
paralyzed and no longer are attrac-
tive as investment propositions. Con-
gress a regulate any storage trust
or smash II If it chooses. The states
themselves can do likewise and there
is no excuse for the existence of this
arrogant monopoly which stores food
products when they are cheap upon
the markets and only lets them be
sold when prices become exorbitant
and oppressive, and then these prod
ucts are only put upon tile markets
in niggardly amounts to maintain
the high prices.
Cold storage could be made a bless
ing. 1t makes possible the %preserva-
ton of food stuffs chat would otherf
wises 20 to. waste wnen the markeH
do not demand them. But. while ting
is the case It has proved,to aGurSs
rather than u blessing, Tie country
W5Ild Tbe BdtteT or without 'thenl
than with'them under present cordi-
lions. If the state legislatures ana
congress would enforce regulation Of
the cold storage plants they could yet
be put in the category Of human
b~enefactors but unless this is done
it would be better to prevent tn
storage of any such commodities. II
would seem TO be the better plan 70
permit the cold storage OF food prod
nets and limit the percentage OF
profit that might be made from them
A high limit of $50 would be bettel
]nrotection than we now have. The
profits nov, in many instances, run
up to several hundred per cent anG
81 thousand per cent. profit is not ull'
common. BY limiting the profit II
a reasonable income upon the money
invested to six or ten per cent, the
natural consequence would be thit
at the time markets would make this
profit possible these products
would be available for consump-
ton. It would be a useless ahd
an additional expense TO hoId
them longer. The room they
take up would be sought, 10 place
other products i'll storage There
would be Il quicker emptying OF the
cold storage plants and these plants
could by repeating their operations
several times a year make their siE
per cen" over and over again, instead
of robbing the public at one opera
ton when the ''holaup' season Is
reached.

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington. May 30.-A few
days ago j wrote an article de-
picting the unusually close COM
radeship exciting between Champ
Clark and his son, Bennett. which
appear to have attracted much at
tention.
h. N. Wheeler, Editor of the
Quincy, Journal, a close old time
friend of the Clark family and one
OF the grand old editors of the
State of illinois. relates the follow
ing incident as having occurred in
the city of Quincy during the last
campaign.
Last summer, as our people will
remember well. Champ Clark and
his son were in Quincy. The speak
er put in a strenuous day here,
that day. He made a short talk to
the teachers in the high school
auditorium he wrote a long reply
to All authoritative interview Just
published with President Taft: he
attended to a big bunch of cores
pondence; he received visitors by
the score; then we had to take him
out and show him the town Of
course and at night, he made a set
address. That was some day for
n man. During the afternoon,
Bennett had to leave for home,
and leaving time had come. The
father and o we're standing off in
n corner of the speakers recep-
tion room having a few parting
words. l stood near waiting to
break in, and introduce some n
who wished to speak with Mr..
Clark. Presently, the speaker
stopped over, kissed the boy on
the cheek and said, Goodbye,
son." The boy turned and kissed
the father and said, Goodbye,
father" Hardly anyone else in the
room noticed it, but it impressed
me as a highly sweet parting be-
tween father and son. And the
thought that came to me was this:
If that should happen to be the
last meeting between the two, how
sweet it was! Afterward, when
we were alone | mentioned the
parting 10 the speaker and he
said: 81 kissed him goodbye to-
day. Mr. Wheeler, just as l did
when he was a baby hoy three or
four years old / don't seem to
know how to break the habit and
don't believe / care to Bennett is
very close to me-"

ElK0 TO CELEBRATE

Memorial Day 10 to be observed
in Elko next year with appropriate
ceremonies. The absence of any
demonstration in Elko yesterday
the bare flag poles piercing the
skies with no stars and stripes to
adorn them led a few patriotic citi-
zens to assemble and lay plans for a
public celebration next year. Here
tofore the fraternal organizations
have assumed this responsibility
but this year have been remiss.
This is the nations day and belongs
to all the people to celebrate the
heroic deeds of the nations dead.

thirtieth Of May 1914 in the public
auditorium of the church and Y.

If the citizens of Elko will leave

ValdOsta Boys Plan
Walk Across Continent

Valdosta, Nov. 29-D. V. Vance
and j. H. Bailey, two young Val
'dostans, are preparing to start
early in the new year on a walk
across the continent to the Panama
exposition in San Francisco. They
propose to give themselves plenty
of time and expect to be in San
Francisco long before the opening
of the exposition in 1915. By way
of getting themselves in condition
they are making trips of from ten
to twenty-five miles day on foot
and are making more than a local
reputation in that line. The young
men walked from this city to Abel
a distance of twenty-four miles, on
Thanksgiving day and were in
such good trim that they felt able
to duplicate the performance the
next day.
