NAMED the FLAG
"OLO GLORY

The first to give the name of
"Old Glory" to the United States
flag was probably Captain William
Driver, Massachusetts, sea captain
who retired from the ocean and set
tied in Nashville. Tenn, shortly he
fore the civil war. When that con-
fiict broke out Captain Driver dis
played flag, one which had floated
over his ship during his seafaring
days, from the window of his home.
The banner was fired on. and the
Did skipper decided that he had
better lower his colors and conceal
them. The Confederate troops de-
manded that he give up the flag
but he refused, and respecting the
spirit of the daring old man, they
left him in peace. .
Fifty-two years ago Gen. Nelson
appeared at Nashville with a divis-
ion Of the Union army and Cap
tain Driver offered him his flag to
he hoisted over the capitol. AS it
fiut.ered in the breeze, Captain
Driver exclaimed: There goes
Old Glory"
1t was his pet name for the flag
and it was soon taken up all over
the northern states and is now
popuIarly used throughout a re-
united nation. Exchange.

SUPREME JUDGE VS..
U. S. SENATOR

1t is laughable to watch the an
tics of the republican press uf the
state in their endeavor to drag one
of the Supreme judges into the
democratic contest for the United
States Senate.
Section II of Article 6 OF the
constitution of Nevada provides
that: ~
Section 11-:-The justice of the
Supreme Court and the District
Judge shall be eligible TO any office
other than judicial Office during
the term for which they shall have
been elected and a election or ap-
pointment of any such judges by
the people, legislature OF otherwise
during said period to any office
other than judicial, shall be void"
We know nothing Of the aspira-
tions vf the Honorable Supreme
Judge that the republican press
is continually stereot yping in their
columns. We do, know that the
G. o. P. will do anything to defeat
or cause the defeat of Francis G.
Newlands, going so far as to be
PpTTe5uTptt0G5 enough &c &c suggest suggest
democratic candidates, and still
further by advocating a violation
of our constitution. It is presumed
that every Supreme Judge now on
the bench was thoroughly familiar
with Section / Of Article 6 of the
Constitution, and it would seem
strange now that the republican
press Is allowed to use the name OF
any one Of them, to defeat demo-
cratic candidate and attempt to
elect republican without at least
a mild protest.
We desire to say to our republi-
can friends that the answer to all
their winnings and suggestions will
be recorded next November In a
sweeping democratic victory with
Francis 9. Newlands In the lead
as our returned United States Sen.
ator and our State ticket elected,
from Governor to constablc.--

The BENTON KILLING

A dispatch went over the wires
about midnight last night that
Major SchoT, an Albert ranger,
serving under Villa, had written
a letter to friend in Vancouver,
B. c., stating that he was present
when Benton appeared before
villa; that he was armed and was
boistcrOus, ana demanded pay for
stolen cattle. Villa ordered him
out of the room and Benton said
he would stay until hell frozc over.
Villa finally ordered the guard to
remove him. SchoT says in'the let
ter that il Benton was shot he got
what he deserved for his conduct.
We give this story for'what it is
worth. II it can be substaniiated
it will show Villa in q different
light so far as BcntUn's death is
concerned.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

The following from the Silver
State published at Winnemurc rca
Nevada speaks for itself.
A movement is on foot in the
state which seems to be steadily
gaining ground, to bring before
the next session of the legislature
the question of length of residence
required to gain citizenship in the
state; repeating that portion of the
present gambling law relating to
poker and short card" games
legalizing horse racing and selling
of Paris mutusls on results.
1t is urged by those Interested in
the proposed legislation that the
anti-gambling and divorce" laws
have taken thousands of dollars
from the business MEN Of the state,
as we'll as the large sums of license
moneys, the deficit falling on tie
taxpayers, without any substantial
equivalent. 1t is claimed that
gambling is going on all over the
state with practically as much
money as ever changing hands, the
only diiFcrence being that the state
receives no revenue from the
games.
1t is understood that in case
horseracing and selling of mutuals
is legalized, that California horse
men will at once build a track at
Las Vegas, which will be compile ted
IN time to hold a 10O.day meeting
early in the spring. Later in the
season, it is said, tracks will be es-
tablished between Tnnopah and
GcldficId and at Carson City, Reno,
LovelUck. Winncmucca and Elko
and regular racing circuit estab-
lishcd. II is claimed that this
would attract hundreds Of thousands
OF Panama exposition visitors TO
the state next year, who will spend
their money, observe the states
natural resources and give Nevada
greater advertisement than could
he accomplished in the ordinary
way by the expenditure Of years of
time and enormous sums OF money.
Whatever may be the individual
opinion as to the merits of the
proposed legislation, il is an admit
ted fact that citizens Of the state
are grooming under the present
taxation and arc willing to try any.
thing within reason to find relief.

STEADY FLOW OF
GOLD TO INDIA

The absorption Of gold by India
continues at heavy rate, though
last year showed rather smaller
demand than its predecessor. In
large measure the gold exports to
India are matter of recent years.
In part they supplant some of the
silver which has been taken by that
country, but in part also they are
an entirely new growth from recent
prosperity. So Ear as they take the
place of silver they affect that
market directly, nv decreasing the
demand for it. This is a serious
proposition, since the supply of sill
yer is quite sufficient, and is likely
to increase and not to decrease. It
is produced so largely in connec-
hIn with other metals that reduc-
tion in the demand does not neces-
sarily mean any diminution in the
supply.
On the other hand, the gold re-
quirements of India decrease the
amount available for commercial
purposes. A large part of the gold
sent to that country is in bars,
which are taken for the manufac-
ure of jewlery and generally for
boarding purposes. The coin ex-
ported is floating supply. most Of
it remaining in the circulation re-
serve or being exported but the
bars stay in the country.
The absorption of the precious
metal in the east is a question
which has been discussed tor many
years, but without altering the fact. &.
The absorption still persists. the
only change being in the suhstitu-
tion of gold for silver which is now
attracting attention. n.-Engineering

REWLANOS ANO ROOSEVELT
ON RECLAMATION

1t will be recalled that during
the campaign of 1904, a good deal
was said about the authorship of
the reclamation law and MIR. Roose-
welt, then a candidate for re-elec-
tion, took an active part. Certain
cabinet officers were sent out
whom, presumably bv instruction
of their chief, made. the most ex-
travagant claims TO: their party
and particular ly for Mr.. Roosevelt
and denied that Senator Newlands
was especially active or influential
IN the matter. 1t is interesting,
therefore, to note that MIR. Roose-
welt has now, doubtless as the re-
suit of more mature reflection,
made a very different statement
upon the subject, written by him
and syndicatcd by the Outlook, of
which he is contributing editor, in
a widely published series of articles
under the title of Chapters of a
Possible Autobiography" In pne
of these chapters Mr.. Roosevelt
says:
Senator Francis G. Newlands of
Nevada fought hard for the cause
Of reclamation in Congress. He at
tempted to get his State to act, and
when that proved hopeless, to get
the nation TO act.
By far the most effective of the
Senators in drafting and u-hirg
the bill. which became known by
his name, was NewIands. The draft
Of the bill was worked over by me
and others at several conferences
and revised in important partiru-
lars; my active interference was
necessary to prevent it from being
made unworkable by an undue in
sistence upon States rights, in &C
cordance with the efforts of Mr..
Mondell and other Congressman,
who consistently fuughi for local
and private interests as against the
interests ri the people as a whole"

were waving their arms in an effort
to flag the approaching machine
