WOOL AND THE TARIFF

During the recent conference Of
wool producers and manufacturers
held in Washington, figures were
presented in the senate showing
that wool was bringing higher
prices in Oregon tfan at any time
in the last twenty-five years, with
the exception of two years. The
showing was made by Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon. Senator
Smoot's commcnt was interesting,
Were it not" he said "for the
fact that there is shortage OF
240 100000 pounds Of wool in The
world these figures would not hC
presented" No doubt the Senator
from Utah was a good deal embar
rassed. For he was one of the
builders OF the late, unlamrntet
Schedule X, and he, almost more
than any one else insisted that free
wool would ruin the wool grower
But it has not done so. On the
contrary prices have increased IA
such an extent as to curtail buying
orders.
The clip at least in the Far West
is undoubtedly considerably smaller
this year than last. Bnt suppose
the price Of wool had gone down
and that i, was shown that there
had been an increase of 240,000,-
600 pounds in the supply-would
Smoot have accepted the explana-
tion? He asSuredly would not,
but would have charged the low
price to free trade in wool. AS it
is now, he is grcatly--and properly
- Impressed with the influence of
demand and supply as price rcgula-
tors. At least il may be said that
Providence has been good tn the
Democrats from the Smoot point
of view. When Smoot and the
otheIs go before audiences of farm
crs and tell them that the tariff has
reduced prices witnout admitting
the existence IF any other factors
the Democrats can point to wool,
and they will be justified in doing
so. Certainly prices arc all the
growers could ask. k..-lndianapolis

RUSSIA A DANCING nation

Red is the obsessing color of the
real Russian. His word for beauti.
full is 'preskrasnee,' " says writ
er, which means literally very red.
A peasant girl in gala dress is red
from the scarf on her head to her
bright red boots, often relieved by
the white blouse, on which again
is red embroidery. The snow white
steps Of state in the Kremiin are
called the red stain $ as tribute
to their beauty and with no sug.
gestion of their color.
Russia is not barbaric. It is
simple and rhildlike, whence its
enormous charm. And it is a
dancing nation: the dances are ma.
tional, unique and quite oriental.
Peasants may be seen in their log
built villages dancing away until
they almost drop from fatigue
The Russian dance is full of vital
ity, spontaneous and strenuous;
the eastern dance is restrained,
suggestive and sometimes sinuous.
Russian literature is Supposed!
to be consistently gloomy. Of
course there is tendency to de-
preston, but it would be equally
correct to assume that German lit
erature consists only of classical
annntations and scientific treatises. "

The m ,mentous question now

candidate treat himself and not
count it Cnce as Rip Van Wrinkle
used TO do? Such treating is fairly
within the term and conditions Of
many other equally ludicrous,
sensclcss and purpose less inhibitioas
contained in the so.callcd Purity Of

tion: Can a candidate refrain from

ran he be convicted Of corrupt
practice, in retaining the friendship
of his debtor and thus influencing
his vote?

NUMBER 81
SOCIALISTS OBJECT
PAYING FEE

Grant Miller appeared at the
office of Secretary of State Brodi-
gan yesterday afternoon and tend
ering the s1m of five hundred dol
lars requested the filing of the
names of himself as the Socialist
candidate for United State Sena-
tor; Martin j. Scanlan, of Tonopah,
for Congress; VIM. A. Morgan, Of
Manhattan, for Governor; W. H.
Burton, Yerington for Lieutenant.
Governor and Atha A. Richie of
Tonopah. for Inspector of Mines.
He also demanded that the other
socialist nominees for state Offices
have their names placed on the
ballot, without any fee being paid,
claiming that as they have no op.
position for the nominations, they
are the nominees of the party, and
that they need not pay for the
privilege of going through the rre-
liminary. Mr.. Brodigan declined
to accede to the demand, which was
made in writing. and Mr.. Miller
says he will bring a mandumus snit
to compel him to do so. The idea
is to test the primary law, and in
cidentally to save several hundred
dollars for the socialists, us they
have little hope of electing any of
their state ticket, it is purely a
matter of principle with them 60

FRANCIS G. NEWLANDS

The announcement of Francis G.
Ne|lands as a democratic candidate
at the primary election for the
office of United States senator an
pears elsewhere. Mr.. Newlands is
so we'll known to the people Of
Nevads that it is almost impossible
to say anything in his favor that is
not already known.
As representative of the state
of Nevada in the United States
Senate, he ranks high as con-
structive statesman. His ability,
energy and forcefulness are felt
among the nations lawmakers To
him, moe than any one else in
or out of coHgl ess. belongs the
credit of the law for the reclama-
tion of the arid lands of the inter-
mountain states. This alone should
tntitle him to the support Of the
voters Of Nevada.
But aside from his record, there
is matter that should appeal
strongly to every democrat in the
state, and that is the contrul OF the
senate by the democratic party.
After years Of struggling to drive
privilege and special interests from
tho senate the democratic party OBJ
tanned control of that body on the
ith of March 1913. That o despcr-
ate effort will be made at the fall
election by the republicans to re-
gain control Of the senate is known
to all conversant with the trend of
pnlitical activity. Nevada is one
of the states counted on to make a
republican gain.
Democrats should consider this
phase of the political situation and
stand solidly behind Mr.. Newlands
at the primary and general election.
Three should be no wavering in
the ranks. The stake is too great to
permit petty jealousies and spite
to stand in the way of a glorious
democratic victory. BY supporting
him you are supporting President
Wilson and bis policies.
