NO. A..


congress assembled last month the
president confidently assured the
country that the track was clear and
that 1t was only necessary to throw
the throttle wide open and that there
would be no obstruction to check the
full speed of prosperity. His cheering
words We're taken up by the press Of
the country and clever eartoonists lent
their talent to picturlng prosperity in
every imaginable form. But the year
closed with the engine of prosperity
still dead on the track.
The new year opened with delight
full discourse on the elements of pros
perity by the head of the department
Of commerce, Mr.. Redheld. This Is
the same gentleman who about the
time the Underwood free trade bill
was passed made the threat that he
would expose any concern that shut
down or reduced its force under the
Ipretext that 1t was caused by the OPP
GRAFTON of the new tariff law. Well, a
good many industrial enterprises clos
ed down and many more curtailed, but
Mr.. Redfeld has not exposed the con-
Isplracy he promised. He now comes
out with q statement which Is In eff
| feet an echo of the presidents famous
psychology talk, in which he tells the
practical business men of the country
to get busy" that the market is here
land that every element is at hand to
inaugurate the most wonderful period
Of prosperity this country has ever
known. And still the engine remains
! dead on the track
And now comes Secretary MGAdon,
\ the presidents -in-law. He zane
out to represent the president in open
ing the San Diego exposition He finds
! business conditions fine in the west,
which may be true as compared with
the Industrial centers Of the east. He
also SENS thoroughly imbued with the
presidents psychological dope, for he
speaks of whining by people who
thought the United States had no
prosperity" Such talk from one oc-
cupying a high position in the admin
istration is OH a par with offering a
Is 1t whining" when the heads of the
great manufacturing enterprises ask
for relief from conditions that turn the
market for their goods over to the for
egner and force them to close down
their plants? Is 1t whining" when
mining operators with vast sums in
vested are forced to operate with re-
I
duced forces and largely for the pur-
pose of furnishing employment to men
who would otherwise be without means
Of support? Is it whining" when the
honest and Industrious workingman
protests against condition that de-
prives him of the means of earning a
living? Secretary McAdoo is unfor-
tunate in the selection of words, UNI
less he intended to add insult to the
injury already inflicted which is not
believed The American people are
not winners. They meet and endure
reverses in fortune with bravery and
fortitude, and all they want is a fair
chance to regain what they have los..
They know that their troubles are real,
and II does not improve their condi-
tion nor their humor to be told BY
some theoretical dreamer that they are
merely vagares to be dispelled at will.

COMPANY BOARDING HOUSES
AND STORES.

In Idaho and in most of the states
the law protects employees in their
right to trade and board where they
please and any company or individual
employer is subject to severe penalty
FOR violating it. The justice of this
law Is apparent, not only from the
standpoint OF the employe, but from
that of the community. The right Of
the employe to BOARD and trade free
from dietation from his employer Is
one Of those inalicnable rights which
enter into the very foundation of our
government, which arc embodied IN
the constitution and which find ex-
preston in statutory laws. This right
is 50 Just and apparent, and so vital
to the full enjoyment of the benefits of
free government that 1t is almost sur
prising that law Is necessary to In
sure its full recognition.
But there are other reasons outside
of the inherent right of the employe
and the law which compels respect of
this right which should govern en-
ployers in thuir relations with their
employees. The good feeling that
should characterize the relations OF
the employer and employee, end partie-
ularly the spirit Of loyalty that should
prevail among employees toward THEN
employer, which goes far beyond the
mere rendering Of stipulated servic1
for stipulated pay, can not exist where
the feeling prevails that jobs depend
upon trading at a company store on
boarding at a company boarding house
The fact that better bargains may %
obtained ait the company store or that
better service may be obtained at the
company boarding house count for
nothing against the violation II the
iraienable right to perfect freedoG OF
action in these matters. Ctreum
stances may and do force men % sub
nit to this invasion OF their rights,
but below the surface they entertain
feeling of resentment which offsets
any financial advantage the company
may gain through the enforcement If
such policy.
Then there is the Independent
boarding house keeper or merchant.
Certainly his good will and that Of his
friends are worth something to the
employing company, The sentiment
Of the community toward the great
employing companies Is not matter
to be ignored by large employers of
labor The prestige of great COM
pany the payroll of which forms the
main support of the community should
not be used against the small business
man, and it will not be by those com
panes who are broad enough in their
view to cultivate the friendship and
good will of the community in which
they operate.
This district has never been entirely
free from the company store and
boarding house evil, and there seems
to be tendency to extend rath-
er than curtail it. Such situation Is
clearly a backward step ard not calcu-
lated to advance the best interests of
the district. Because tho people of
The district are dependent upon the
payrolls, 1t docs not follow that they
must surrender the field of independ-
ent business enterprise to those whose
connection with the large companies
gives them advantages outside the
range Of business competition.

RICH FEDERAL PLUM
IS GOING BEGGING

As result of the apathy toward the
postmastership in Elko it is more than
probable that J. M. Doughty, whose
term expires December Is, 1915, will
hold over indefinitely, and, at all
events, until the Sixty-fourth Congress
convenes, regardless of the avowed
policy of the Wilson administration
to displace Republicans for Democrats
wherever and whenever possible.
The postoffiee in Elko is in the third
class and the salary approximates
50, 400 per year. Turn such job as
this loose upon almost any other com
munity and the politicians would fall
into such mad scramble to land the
place that a riot call for the police
would have to be turned in.
The postmastership in this city has
been rendered through Senators New
lands and Pittman, to L. o. Hender-
son, w. w. Booher, and, it is under
stood, to Harold Riddle; and they all
have declined to accept the appoint
ment on the ground that their private
affairs demand their entire time and
attention.-Free Press.

Return % Convention system

The general election bill was intro
dueed in the senate yesterday, and the
primary eletion bill in the assembly,
both as agreed upon by the legislative
caucus last week. Amendments to the
corrupt practices act and new regis
tration law were introduced in the af-
ternoon.
The primary election measure is a
straight convention law and provides
that delegates to conventions shall be
elected at primary elections. Proxies
in conventions can be held only by
some accredited person from the coun-
ty from which the proxy comes.
The new registration law provides
for both sexes and makes it necessary
foI person registering to swear that
he or she is over 81 years of age. The
section relating to residence provides
that the residence shall be continuous.
The general election law contains
no sections relating TO primary elec-
ticns.
The corrupt practices act has been
amended in but few particulars. 1t
fixes the maximum amount that a state
central committee may expend for
campaign purposes at $4,000 and pro
vides that the preliminary report of
the state central committe shall not
contain any items of expense-merely
receipts. II also exempts candidates
for Congress from the campaign ex-
pense provisions.

CYRUS NOBLE rs LIABLE

Cyrus Noble has been added to the
horrors of war, says Pendleton,

The population of eastern Oregon,
which has been reading of shells that

awaiting tensely the advent of Cyrus
Noble into the theater of war.
Cyrus Noble is one of the most fa-
nous bucking bronchos that ever tried
to kick holes in the sky at the Pen
dleton roundup. He was sold today
to the French government for use as
cavalry horse. The unsuspecting
French officer who purchased Cyrus
failed to discover his bucking abili-
ties

off in his ear, said buckaroo who
rode Cyrus for ten seconds last year.

An Optimistic Citizen

Joe MeEaehins, one of Nevada IS
high class citizens, was in Winnemuc-
ca today. McEachins is an indefati-
gable booster for all that concerns the
development and growth of Nevada.
In an effective and material sense he
is energetically interested in the de-
velopment of the states mining and
agricultural resources. He pithily OBJ
served, as he took No 6 east yester-
day, ''The state has not only great
resources, but in all details is begin
ming to do that which will cause these
resources to make Nevada the most
prosperous commonwealth of the noun
tain regions, and likewise give it a
vifiia, aggressive population, placing
il in the foremost rank of the great
progressive sections of the world.
Every indication points to a great
future for Nevada, in which our en-
tire citizenship, old and new, will be
happy henefciaries. Nothing in Neva

ANOTHER VICTIM OF
THE RABID COYOTE

Jose Alaremendi, is camp tender at
one of the sheep camps, near the sheep
ranch, some forty miles below town,
arrived in town Sunday, after having
battle royal with a coyote during
the night before, and although he
came out victorious and a little the
worse for wear, and the mishap of hav-
ing one of his hands bitten severely,
he is still able to sit up and take
nourishment
He states his case as follows: While
asleep in his tent Saturday night he
was awakened by the eommotion of
the sheep outside and he got up and
took gun and went out to see what
the trouble was. He noticed a coyote
chasing the sheep and biting them and
as he interceded the coyote came to-
wards him and he shot at it and broke
one of its forelegs. The coyote fell to
the ground and jumped for him and
caught him by the hand. biting him
severely, and then fell to the ground
again, when Mr. Alaremendi sent an
other vollev of shot into the coyote
which ended the possibility of its
making a second attack. Mr.. Alare-
mendi then mounted a horse and rode
to town, and he is at present under
the care of DIR. Jones, who will give
him the Pasteur treatment.-Jordan

UNIVERSITY GEE club
AT NIXON THIS EVENING

Among the stunts which the Glee
Club will put over at the Nixon to-
night is that favorite of last year,
Romeo and Juliet" The acclaim
which was accorded this act through
out the state, persuaded Prof. Hase-
man that it should again be part of
the clubs program.
Romeo Johnson will, of course,
handle the male title role, and all who
remember tiny, blond Ole Johnson,
with piping voice, portray the ardent
and bold Romeo, will remember the
shrieks of laughter which he brought
forth.
The coy Juliet viii again be Monk
Ferris. The fact that Monk is senior
this term was the deciding factor in
making Romeo and Juliet a part of
the present program. Monks final ap-
pearance must be an auspicious one,
and who viii deny that Juliet is his
forte9 Ferris has done much for the
life of four clubs already. His rich
voice has been the foundation of its
harmony, and his natural talent as a
comedian has made many soured
heart swell out in a smile.

ERECTING NEW FIVE
STAMP MILL AT HtYSTA(K

A five stamp mill is being installed
at Haystack by Hagerty, Kronwetter
6 Merrifeld, all material being on the
ground, with the exception of the
stamps and engine, which will be de-
hvered next Tuesday. The engine will
be of 10 horsepower and the capacity
OF the mill will be from IL to Is tons
every "a hours.
At present there is about 500 tons
OF free-milling ore ON the dumps of
the camp, which will run from $12 to
SIS per ton in gold. However, with a
mill running, there will be several
claims worked, and it is probable that
the mill will be taxed to its full ca
pacity for an indefinite period.

The boy is one of nine children. His
father, a carpenter, is at San Diego,
seeking work. The lad had gone to
the Chism creamery and was returning
with bucket of milk with his bicy
Gle. He stepped from the westbound
to the eastbound track without look
ing backward and did not realize that
the train was upon him until too late
to save himself.
Mrs. John NJ Vance and her daugh-
ter Mrs. Simpson, returning from Cal
ifornia, were on the train.

UTAH WOOL SELLING
AT ADVANCED PRICES

There was reported to be more act
lvity in the local wool situation Sat
urday, says the Salt Lake Herald Re-
publican M. A. Smith and J. s. Ostler,
both of Salt Lake, stated that they
had heard of offers of 25 cents a pound
for some clips in Utah. II is the first
time this much has been offered, thev
said, for Utah wool this season.
Thursday Albert Smith, J. Thomas
and F. A. Peterson, whose aggregate
ehps viii amount to about 100000
pounds, contracted to sell their wool
for 2213 cents pound, and Ed Kearns
and X. Winder signed contracts Friday
to sell their clips, which will amount
to nearly 100000 pounds for 23 cents
pound. This is the 1915 clip.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Ostler say the
idea has been spread that sheepmen
should dispose of their clips of wool
fo- 1915 at the first opportunity. They
referred particularly to an interview
in which F. J. Hagenbarth, president
o. the National Woolgrowers associa-
tion, advised selling at 25 cents.
"That amount - said Mr.. Smith.
"was not offered until today. I un-
derstand that 25 cents a pound has
been offered today for some of the
clips"
Albert Smith said his wool was sold
Thursday. "Some sold their wool Fri
day for half cent higher he said,
fbut understand it was of a little
higher grade than mine.''
"I had been trying to sell my wool
for several weeks said Mr.. Kearns.
"and I had offered it for 25 cents.
which I consider fair price. T sup
pose the wool sold by Mr.. Winder and
myself would amount to about 175.000
pounds or more'

THIRTY new POST
MASTERS NAMED
Especial to the Silver state)

NoPCOidi W Jut SILVER CJdLel
WASHINGTON, March 9.--After a
consultation between Senators New
lands and Pittman, they have sent to
the postmaster general recommends
tions for the appointment of thirty
fourth class postmasters in Nevada,
and the vacancies will doubtless be
filled within few days.
When it is considered how much
detail there is over the selection and
appointment of one postmaster, it
may be realized how much work there
is in the selection of thirty, especially
where, as in Nevada, it is quite com
mon to experience much difficulty in
getting man or woman having the
desirable qualifications for an efficient
and Industrious postmaster.
Senator Pittman has devoted great
deal of time to making personal inves-
tigation of candidates for postmas-
terships. With Senator Newlands. he
has gone into the SUBJECT with great
thoroughness, and partisanship has
had to give way to consideration of
the best interests of each community.
After very careful study of the situ-
alton in every instance, recommends
tions, in which both senators have cor
daily concurred, have been sent in for
the following postoffiee, and announce
ments of the appointments are ex-
pected to follow soon: Arthur, Ber-
lin, Buckhorn, Bullion, Carrara, Deeth,
Fairview, Gerlach. Gold Hill, Hal
leek, Hamilton, Hilltop, Lamoille, Mill
City, Mound House, Mountain CITY.
Nixon, Osceola, Palisade, Rand, WA
and Wabuska.
The Senate, during the closing hours
of the session. confirmed the nomina-
tion of George P. Armand to be post
master at Ely.
