GETTING READY FOR
THE FALL CAMPAIGN

Our pious Progressive contcm-
porary, the Outlook, finds that the
country has gone to- the dogs be-
cause this Democratic administra-
ton does not believe in a strong
government. 1t is afraid Of a strong
government"
Our wicked standpat contem-
porary, the Sun, finds the country
has gone to the dogs because the
president has usurped all the powers
of government and is ruling with a
despotic hand.
The pious Outlook is spuuting
Alexander Hamilton's maxim: can
energetic government is necessary
to the safety of the Union" Th..
wicked Sun is screaming for some
body to regulate and restrain the
president of the United States. On
off days it r~ecites Washington's
warning against changes in govern
ment by usurpation.
1t is obvious that an administra-
ton which, rs the pious Outlook
complains, Tears that the strong
government will be the despotic
government cannot at the same
tine be an iron handed tyrant, as
the wicked Sun so excitedly as
severates.
We should not think of trying to
reconcile these conflicting criticisms
of President Wilson. We are put
ting them on record merely as evil
dence that both factions Of the Re
publican party are making their
usually harmonious preparations
for the fall campaign. NAV York.

MAJOR H. MILLER

There are all sorts of men and
I'LL sorts of public officers in this
country Some are dishonest, I'M
faithful and worthless. hut a. vast
majority are honest and upright as
citizens and make splendid officials.
Major Miller, the present treasur-
or of Elko county, is n of the
majority. 1t is hardly worth while
to say anything complimentary of
him, because he is so we'll known
by the people he serves.
Major Miller is a Missourian by
birth and a democrat to the core.
He has lived in this county over a
quarter of Il century and his life,
pablo and private, isan open book.
Back in the days of the silver eX-
element when the hills and valleys
of Nevada echoed and rechoed the
slogan of 16 to l, he was elected
county treasurer by the silver party
and served n term. When the
silver party died he renewed his
allegiance to the democratic party
and has since fought under it:
hammer. Four years ago he wa!
elected county treasurer and re
elected in 1912. To-day he tells thu
democrats of the county that HI
wants their support for another
term.
His official record is too wei
known to need extended comment
He attends strictly to his duties anC
accounts for every cent that passe
through his hands into the ~treasur!
of the county. While he holds tb,
keys of the county's strong box
the taxpayers know that there vii
he no monkcying with their funds
He asks the support of his party a
the primary election and promise
a continuance Of faithful service i
nominated and elected.

SALT YOUR HAY

Zone ton Of salt used in stack.
ing 100 tons of alfalfa hay will in.
ease the value of same to the cx-
tent Of so cents to 81 per ton" SO
report the farmers Of Kansas and
Oklahoma, and the cost of salt
should not exceed 10 cents TO IL
cents per ton. They claim by using
the above amount Of salt you ran
put your hay up much grconcr,
thus saving \ large percentage OF
leaves. Second, the salt has n
tendency to tuTcn the fders that
holds the leaves so when the hay is
handled from the stack 10 to Is PER
cent more leaves will cling to the
stem. Third. the stock eating the
hay will relish the flavor of the
salt and cat it cleaner and take
on more fat. If this be so, why not
salt your hay?

T0N0PfH BULLION

Tuesdays Bonanza says that over
seven tons of bullion was shipped
this morning by Wells Fargo by
three mills Of the ToDOpah district.
The value of the shipments was
approximately Sl39, 500. The >Bel-
mont. which ships twice n month,
scored an extra claan up this nonth
and sent out what officials of that
company calls an intermediate ship
ment consisting of Go bars weigh
ing 1872 1856 ounces, valued at $l02,-
800. The Mcnamara sent out ten
bars weighing $50 pounds, worth
Sll 600. as a Srml.monthly cleanup
Of that mill. The West End was
represented by Il bars, weighing
1903 pounds, and valued at $25,
900 for the sec nd cleanup for the
month of June. The total weight
of the combined shipments was H.
S2Y pounds.

the Fourth Section" orders which
was divided in two parts. one aGc1t-
ing Spokane and the other Reno
and Phoenix. This held that no rail
road should charge no more to the
mountain districts than to the
coast; a Z per cent charge was al
lowed from Chicago to the noun
tain points and a higher rate from
the Atlantic seaboard.
Investigation by tabulation of
the Nevada Commission showed
that rs per cent of the freight be.
ing brought TO Nevada came from
Chicago and the Western points
and about 10 PER cent from the
Atlantis ports. This made an aver
sge excess charge on all freight
to Reno of ebout 70 per cent
which was a burden unjust and
hard 10 carry.
The freight on first class goods
from Nc" York or Chicago to Sac
ramonto was SO. The goods coming
to Reno ger charged the rate e
Sacramento plus Sl.29, the charge
for hauling same back to Reno
from Sacramento, causing the Same
goods to cost the Reno merchant:
Sl.29 more than they cost the Sac
ramcnto merchant. By the recent
decision the same gouds can be laiG
down in Reno for $3.50 per hundred
weight being saving of Sl.39 over
the old rate.
This ruling takes the throttle
hold from the throat of the Nevad;
jobber and allows him to compete
with the Coast merchant.
1t will mean the building up OF

wise my friend from Illinois to read
the history of his own country and
learn that the great majority 90
the men who have builded and de-

rural district. Yes; the Demo
cratic Party is proud of the Eu-
%faulss, the AlexaDdrias and the Yell
villcs which mark its pathway as j.
has journeyed in its mission to bless
mankind. The Democratic Party
has never become tainted with the
slime Of "big business as it is
conducted in the Chicegos of tie

A GREAT VICTORY

THE greatest victory that thu
Railroad Commission of Nevada has
yet won" was the comment made
last evening by Chairman Bartint
of the Railroad Commission in com,
menting upon the action of tho
Supreme Court Of the United
States in sustaining the ruling OF
the Interstate Commission and
knocking out the order Of the Com,
MERGE Court.
The fight is a victory for tho
Railroad Commission of Nevada fol
that body has worked long and well
in fighting against the unjust dis
elimination in rates. against the
people of the intcr.mountain state
and especially the people Of Ne.
vada.
The contention Of the Nevada
Commission in the start Of the bat
tie was that the people of Nevada
should not be charged a higher
rate than that charged to the Pa
cihc coast people at the Sacramento
terminus.
At the time the Railroad Colr-
mission Of Nevada took up the
fight, the Spokane case was pend
ing ind vas meeting with unsatis-
factory rulings. The Nevada Com.
mission worked for months in pre-
paratiun and entered the fight with
tabllatures and with documentary
proof of their contentious of such
a nature that the members of the
Interstate Commission were amazed
