 At the close of the entertainment, a booklet containing a little story called Harry Hop the Train" written by Mir. Tinker. was distributed to each child This Is the story of a little news boy who lost his leg while hop ping" freight trains. On the back of the pamphlet are printed seven rhym- ing Safety First" rules. The teachers in the various schools were provided with the E. P. & s. W. Safety First" buttons, and one of them is to be be- slowed upon each child as soon as he is able to repeat the seven rules by heart.
 The pamphlet also contained on a separate sheet an appeal to parents which every father and mother in Bis bee ought to read and take to heart This states that in the last twenty years 25,000 children have been killed or seriously injured in the United States while playing around railroad tracks and trains. Parenis who wish 10 save their children from fearful dangers are urged to impress upon them the folly and danger of tres. passing on railroad property or of crossing tracks recklessly and care lessly.
 Americans have the reputation oi being the nation that permits tho most wanton waste of life in prevent able accidents, and it is to be hoped that entertainments such as the El Paso and Southwestern R. R. gave here in Bisbee, and elsewhere through out this section will be very effective in educating the rising generation ur to the point where thousands of whol ly unnecessary tragedies will be elim mated.

 The regular routine business was first disposed of, including reports from various committees and a discus. sion of plans for the educational work of next year The program followed, being a continuation of the study of the Mexican situation which the mem bers of the club have been carrying on at each educational program.
 The main feature of Fridays pro- gram was to have been a postcard talk on Mexico by Mrs. Vance M. Johnson, but owing to Mrs. Johnsons untortu- nate illness. this was regretfully dis pensed with Mrs. Walter Hankin read a paper giving a very clear and con else and interesting account Of the course of events in the Mexican situ- ation during the last month The pro gram closed with an informal discus sion among the members present con cerning the topic Of the day. and also concerning the Ulster situation. The sentiment Of the women in regard to intervention in Mexico seemed to be unanimously in favor of President VII sons policy Of waiting till the last possible minute before committing the United States Co the terrible sacrifice and responsibilities that Intervention would entail

LAST RALLY OF
CAMPAIGN BIG ONE

The last meeting OF the democratic
state candidates held here Saturday
night was Il hitting climax for one OF
the greatest campaigns ever remem
bered In this state. AS usual, the
bonfires and brass bands were OH hand
but by far. the loudest and most i'm
pressive part of the program was the
way the democratic speakers went af-
Ter their subjects and threw light be-
fore their listeners. They put the
band and the fireworks completely on
the blink.
Emmett Boyle and Judge Coleman
we're the principal speakers although
addresses were made by others OF the
candidates on the stage. Mr.. Boyle
IN his address swept away all doubts
as TO whether he is running on n clean
straightforward platform and greatly
impressed his hearers with the way
he came forward and stated the plain
facts OF the campaign. He handled
the petty accusations made against
him by the republican papers OF the
state and showed that he is n man
who Is running for the high Office to
which he aspircs on his merits and
the democratic platform and is not
trying to please II small bunch OF
voters who are trying to tie his hands.
He assured tho audience that IL they
elected him to the Office of governor
Of the great state OF Nevada they
would have no cause to fcar that the
affairs of the state would not be run
in a clean, economical manner, and
that petty. political tricks would be
entirely absent from the administra-
tion. He was frequently interrupted
by bursts of applause and the fact
Nys1g N.trN npf1.nt th.4 la ,,.,, ,,tt,r
n eat impression on all of his hear
crs. He wound up his speech with n
rcfutal of all the dirty accusations
made against him.
Judge Ben w. Coleman. the demo-
cratic nominee for Justice OF the Su.
pr"me Court. made a very favorable
Impression while in Elko. In his talk
ne presented his candidacy in Il clear
cut manner, indulgIng In no PERSONAL
tiles. Judge Colcman's record on the
district bench has never been excel.
led. and should he be elected to the
position To which he asDircs he will
be a credit to the state.
Judge Coleman. IN his address. de-
Tended himself and his position on a
number OF issucl and made n grcat
mt with his hearers. rs did all others
who spoke To the large number OF
voters In the house.
This meeting demonstrated again
how the feeling in this part of the
state runs In political matters. The
meeting was an enthusiastic victory
for democracy and her standards. The
question stands now. not will demo
crazy win in Elko. but how largo will
the majority be. II is evident to the
Dyes Of the most politically unsophis.
ticatcd that the majority Will be large
ana the victory a sweeping one. Never
In years have the prospects been as
bright for victory and the democrats
are jubijant and deep In the hearts OF
NIL republicans who saw the demon

hopes are %dwindling.
