by Coroner Davis, had but one kid.
ney from birth, it was learned dur
ing the autopsy conducted by
County Physician Gibson. There
was no evidence of an operation
having been performed but the
left kidney was missing just the
same. II was not the lack Of a
kidney, however, but indigestion
which is believed to have killed
Weaver. At the sheep carp Ii

fast and went out to cacth some
horses. He came hack with co n,

TONOPAH WOMEN RURCOED

The old worn out frazzled game
of selling "smugrlcd" goods to the
housewives Of T~oncpah is in full
swing through the activity of a
couple Of peddlcrs whose persuasive
tongues have wen over a bunch of
victims. They are engaged in foist-
ing off a lot of cheap truck undo
the guise of goods imported from
Europe ard Mexico, consisting
chiefly of lingerie and drawn work.
The drawn work, which purports Ia
be hand made in Mexico, is a lot of
cheap trash from Connecticut mills
and the linen alleged TO be from
England and ireland is nothing
more than a bunch of himsy cotton
sutff chemically treated. Such
peddlcrS should be treated as they

CREATING ANOTHER CzOLGOSz

Elihu Root, then secretary Of the

delivered a speech at Utica, Nov,
1, 1906, in which he said:
"In President Rooseyelt's first
message to congress, in speaking
Of the assassin Of Mckinley, he
spoke of him as inflamed by the
reckless utterance Of thos, who,
on mo stump and 10 the public
press, appealed to the dark and evil

and sullen hatred. The wind is

PROPHETS HAO WRONG IDEAS

IN the year l7SS Alexander Ham

unites in an emiAnt degree all the
advantages the union of whi'h was
to be wished for" Yet in a decade.
the electors would not have thought
of exercising their constitutional
prcrogatives.
Hamilton predicted the house
of representative would have no
small advantage, over the senate
in any dispute. since it would be
the popular branch Of government,
and because it would have the
power of originating all none
hilIs-a strong weapon in its hand.
But the senate sCon became the
dominant partner and the house
found that the- power to amend
money bills exercised by the s?nate
nuilitied the advantage of original.
ing them.
At the close IF John Adams ad-
ministration il is said that John Jay
refused the appointment of chief
justice on the ground that the
bench would never attain the
energy, weight and dignity which
were essential 10 its affurding due
support to the national go. crn-
ment." This forecast John Mar
shall made absurd.
When Louisiana was annexed
Senator White remarked in debate
that gentlemen on all sides, with
very few exceptions, agree that
the settlement Of this country will

but its situation is not so favorable

In 1862 Lincoln, in q message to

Kinley's murder fresh be ore ham,
he had Mr.. Hearst specifically in
his mind.
"And l say. by his authority.
that what he thought of ME. Hearst
then he thinEs of Mr.. Hearst now"
Mr.. Hearst apparently learned
nothing from the assassination Of
William Mckinley. Or if he learn
ed, he has quickly forgotten. file
is now making against President
Wilson the same appeal to the
dark and evil spirits Of malice and
greed, envy and sullen hatred" that
he made against President McKin-
ley. Indeed, his attacks upon
President Wilson are even more
malicious, mendacious and incen-
diary than were his attacks upon
President Mckinley.
Day after day. Mr.. Hearst, in
word and caricature, is picturing
the president of the United States
as q traitor to the United States.
Day after day Mr.. Hearst charges
the president of the United States
with overt and calculated treason.
Day after day Mr.. Hearst presents
the president of the United States
as the cowardly and cunning enemy
Of the American people.
This is the food upon which the
twisted and distorted brain Of a
Czolgosz feeds. If some later Cool.

infiamed by Mr.. Hearst's delna-
gogic abuse of the president should
carry the Hearst argument to its
logical conclusion and proceed to
remove the traitor" that the
Hearst papers have portrayed to
him, nobody would be more aston
ished perhaps than Mr.. Hearst. He
and his kind are always astonishpd
when the wind they have sowed is
reaped in the whirlwind.
Mr.. Hearst has a legitimate right
TO oppose President Wilson's ad-
m~inistration. He has a legitimate
right to oppose the repeal of the
canal tolls exemption clause. That
question involves issues such as

not believe IN government by as

crossed that line further than he

ISSUE CONCIsELY STATED

AHe OHe anu pIdCllCdiib oHly 10
sue, Invested of all trimmings in
volved in the Panama canal tolls
question. is independently discussed
in a clear forceful manner by the
st. Louis Republic. That paper
says:
The Republic begs its reader in
their following of the canal tolls
discussion, to observe n capital
fact. The opponents of repeal are
not discussing the treaty.
One honorable member IF the
house declares that "if the Ameri-
can people had suspected that the
Hay Panncefote treaty gave Great
Britain equal rights with US not a
shovelful Of dirt would have been
turned on the Isthmus."
This comes periously near being
funny. Had suspected" Why
didn't the American people read
the treaty? For it gave not only
Great Britain equal rights with US,
but also Germany. Venezuela, Hol-
land and Siam. Norway and Chile,
Liberia and Ecuador. All the
right" the treaty gave any nation,
including the United States, was
the right to send its vessels through
the canal on payment Of the tolls.
Here is what we put our hands to:
THE canal shall be free and
open. in time Of wal as in time of
peace, to the vessels Of commerce
and war of nations, on terms of en-
tire equity, so that there shall be
no discrimination against any ma
ton o" its citizens or subjects in
respects Of the conditions or charges
of traffic, or otherwise"
What are these gentlemen really
contending for? They say they
want American coastwise ships
passed through the canal without
payment Of tolls. That will, of
course reduce the income of the
canal by just the amount which
these ships should otherwise pay.
And the income Of the canal is pub
lie revenue. Such a reduction
would simply mean that the gov
eminent of the United Stases cub
sidiz I'd the ~raastwise fleet by the
exact amount of t." RENTED tolls.
We already confer upon the
coastwise fleet an absolute monopoly
of American coastwise trade. BY
the provision the president is try
ing to repeal we have put a sub.
sidy on top of that.
We have never seen anything
nor empty than the Ease against
repeal. 1t starts with utter disre-
gard of our plain promise, quoted
above. 1t vigorously defends the
rights" CT the Unite5 States to-
what? To tax the rest Of US in
order to confer further favors on
the coastwise fleet, already granted
a monopoly Of one of the richest
trades in the world.
The enemies Of repeal have need
of all their eloquence, all their
facilities Of appeal to prejudice.
For, in view of the language of
our covenanted promise and the
nature OF the special privilege they
seek for a already favored interest,
they will be in a sad case if confin-
ed to a plain and straightforward
statement Of tho facts in The case.
