The Hon. A. o. Stanley, candidate
for U. 5. Senator, voted against the
Webb bill in Congress Congressman
J. Campbell Cantrill voted against the
Webb bill too. We have never yet
heard man say he was against Stan
ley, but what he said he was against
him because he voted against the webb
bill. We have never yet heard II man
say he was against Cantrill because he
voted against the Webb bill. Can any

The victorious Constitutionalists Of
Mexico, under the leadership Of Gen.
Villa have been sweeping all before
them and are now SO close to Huerta's
citadel that he realizes that the insur-
gents or Constitutionalists will soon o.
Verthrow his government unless some
thing desperate is done to thwart that
purpose. Huerta hopes by giving Uu-
Gle Sam few petty insults for the pur-
pose of involving this government in
war with Mexico, SO that it will result
in solidifying the Mexican people be-
mind his government. However, IN
Gle Sam is aware eff the situation and is
not going to allow the usurper Huerta
10 draw him into a war as means for
maintaining his own blood bought

If people would use little more of

The railroads tell us that the rates
the people would have are contiscatory
Of their valuable property when the
Legislature goes to pass laws allowing
the Railroad Commission to fix the
rates, and when the proper authorities
90 to fix value on their property for
taxation, they say it is so high it is
outrageous. They why not the rail-
road's value of their property when
liked for assessment be used as basis
cor their net earnings, and the freight
and passenger rates be lowered so the
roads can get 80 on the value of their
property as they give it in for tax
alton?
No, there is nothing fair about n
railroad company. When their proper
IS is being valued to fix rates it is
worth ten times as much as it is worth
when it is being taxed II our officers
and courts had the nerve and back
bone to assess them at the value they
give when assessing rates, and fix the
rates on the value they give for assess
"ent, the whole problem would be
solved. II we can't get men in office
10 do this, why not the Government
own them? 1t is either the Govern
Auent own the railroads or the railroads
own us, and we believe the Govern
ment should run the Government, not
the railroads run it like they are run

A. VerMehr and wife and John w.
Harris, who have been at the hot
springs on the Big Sandy the past
month, returned home Wednesday last.
Mr.. VerMehr was in bad shape with
rheumatism, but the waters of the
spring appear to have done him great
deal of good.
George w. Miller, the big cattleman
of the eastern part of the county drove
home a handsome Studebaker six auto
mobile, purchased from the Desert
Garage company. He believes that he
will be able to get more work from this
high-powered car than from the light
er cars that he has been driving.
Thursday last DR.. Bucher had hurry
call to the Eshom ranch, below Yucca,
and the trip was made by Jesse Tarr in
fast time. 1t was found that Mrs.
Blaine Crozier had been taken seriously
ill after leaving Kingman last Wednes-
day and that the doctor considered it
so serious that he will remain with the
patient until she has recovered suf-
ficiently to allow of her removal to
Kingman.
1t has been reported to us that the
approaches to the Santa Fe bridge, on
the west side of the river will soon be
in place and that the work of planking
and safeguarding the big bridge will be
completed. The supervisors of San
Bernardino county, California, at first
concluded to fill the big gap between
the end of the highway and the bridge,
but after survey it was concluded
that the work could be done much more
cheaply and to better advantage by
putting in trestle, as this could be
used later for the approach to the pro-
posed highway bridge.

F. A. Wright came in from Chloride
few days ago and departed to Los
Angeles. For some time past he has
been getting matters in shape to open
up the Elkhart mine, and now that the
other properties on the big vein are
being developed and are producing
large tonnage of ore it is probable that
this property may be financed.
The government has withdrawn three
three million acres of land in Arizona
from entry under the enlarged home
stead act. The lands lie close to forest
reserves and Indian reservations.
Homesteads can still be filed on these
lands, but only 100 acres can be taken
up instead of 320. Just what the
reason for this action is cannot be
learned at the present time.

Banquet to e. A. Shaw.

With Dad Parsons as the controlling
spirit and Tom Devlne as toastmaster
about forty of the boosters of Kingman
congregated at the festal board Thurs
day evening, with E. A. Shaw as the
guest of honor. Mr.. Shaw had been a
representative of the local lodge Of
Elks at the big reunion in Denver and
nearly took the treasury of the grand
lodge back with him. In the parade Of
the order Shaw and Dimmick had an
attractive entry ard received greater
recognition than the big entries of
Rochester, New York, and San Fran
cisco. Shaw never overlooked an op-
portunity to boost Mohave county, and
the advertising that this county got
through him in the Denver papers was
worth considerable. 1t was in recogni-
ton of this good work that this banquet
was conceived. The spread was laid
in the Old Trails Caie and was a right
royal feast. Messrs. Gruninger and
Lydy furnished the music, and Tom De-
vine and Dad Parsons furnished the
greater part of the amusement, al
though DR.. Shannon told some excel
lent stories and recited some verse that
was great. Quite number of other
guests were called upon and responded
in way that brought down the house.
The whole evening was one of enjoy
ment ard those present adverted to all
the good work that the live ones of
this county had done and were doing
for the welfare of the whole COM
munity, ard the good work that was
still going on to place the county on
the map and keep it there. 1t was the
general belief that Mohave county was
just now getting more advertising
recognition that any other county Of
the state, and it was through men like
Shaw that this good work was being
done. And in this regard it brought
forcibly to the attention of all present
just what combination of people
could do had they the best interests of
the town and county at heart.

Sometime last night Mexican muck
er fell into one of the ore chutes at the
Goldroad mine and was killed. How
the accident occurred is unknown.
After the man fell many cars of ore
were dumped into this chute, the tram
mers not being aware of the tragedy.
When the shift came off the man was
found to be missing and a search re-
vealed the mangled remains in the
chute. Undertaken Van Marter went
out this morning with coffin and the
remains will be buried in the Goldroad

Congress has been wrestling with
the bill to repeal the free Panama
tolls law this week, and while the
present indications are that the
president will win his fight and get
the bill through, the fight has been
quite bitter. Leaving out of the
consideration the fact that the pas
sage of the free tolls bill was q
violation of our treaty made with
Great Britain, the fact remains
that the free tolls are in effect sim
ply a subsidy granted to the Amer
ican shipping trust. The previous
efforts to get subsidies have beer
unsuccessful, and the free tolls wal
simply a shrewd way of getting in
directly what would not be granted
directly.

The Minnesota minimum wage
commission is having it's troubles

wage law passed by that state.
The com mission is investigating
all places where women and minors

One of the features of the receLt
primary election that few voters
considered is the fact that the nom
ination of Gov. Byrne carries with
it the adoption of the majority re
publican platform. 1t is safe to
assert that not one in a hundred
who voted for Byrne knew what the
platform was that they were en-
dorslng. This platform contains
81 planks. Most of them are good
if properly applied; some are mere
bait to catch votes, while a few are
open to serious question. Among
the latter, we would class the recall
of indicial decisions, which would
practically nullify the consultation.
Another is the demand that con.
gressmen and senators from this
state work with Progressives in
congress. The demand that the
republican representatives elected
from this state work and vote
with the representatives elected by
an opposing party is ridiculous
to say the least. At present o
course the Progressive party has
no congressman or senators il
, congress, but that party is organ
izing in every state and it IL no
. impossible that it may win som
! representation, and under thi
plank in our platform our republi
, can members would be bound t
: work and vote with them, no mat
ter what they stood for.
