THE GOLDEN RULE REVISED

The Sacramento Bee comments with its usual vigor
on the statement of Olaf Tveimoe, following the verdict IN
the Schmidt case at Los Angeles. Schmidt was con
victed as an accomplice of the McNamaras in the blowing
up of the Times building, involving the death of twenty
one men. The jury that heard the evidence used only a
few minutes to reach a verdict. And then Tveitmoe, who
is the secretary-treasurer of the California Building Trades
Council, delivered himself of the following:
Send word to Lincoln Steffens that the Golden
Rule is dead. There will be a ten years war in
Los Angeles. They will pay for this.
The Bee suggests that Steffens, who is tinged with
anarchy, may hold that the Golden Rule should be that the
McNamaras and the Schmidts should be allowed to MUIR
der at pleasure and at leisure, and that no Jail doors
should open on them, but if so then it is better that the
Golden Rule is dead. 1t also reminds us that Iveltmoe,
himself, served his time in the Minnesota penitentiary for
forgery or embezzlement, or some kindred crime, and was
convicted more recently by a jury at Indianapolis of abet-
ting dynamite murders, but escaped through the court of
appeals on "insufficiency of evidence"
The people will be more patient than we believe if
they allow Tveitmoe or others of his murderous lk to get
very far with a war on society to vindcate his version OF
the Golden Rule.

CLINcHING NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

European and Asiatic powers are not particularly
pleased by the Transformation OF the Monroe Doctrine
into pan-Americanism
The foreign powers, with the possible exception OF
Great Britain, have always given the Monroe Doctrine a
very grudging acquiescence. Britain alone hasn Deen
greatly concerned. After the loss of the thirteen colonies
she felt that, in Canada, she had the choicest remaining
part of the western hemisphere. With that and her
minor possessions in the West Indies and South America
she felt pretty well satisfied to refrain from further at,
tempts at American colonization, on terms that compelled
her rivals to refrain. Her w~orld-empire, anyhow, was
building up quite rapidly enough to keep her busy.
The other powers have recognized the doctrine chief
ly because of the sanction Great Britain gave 1t. 1t was
hard to oppose anything that Great Britain and the United
States agreed on. But some of the powers have hoped,
nevertheless, to break through the wall of the Monroe
Doctrine sooner OF later. Germany has plainly yearned
to gain a foothold in Brazil, and Japan in Mexico: And
as long as the ~atin-American countries were FESTIVE I'M
der our self-aSSumed protectorate and there was the posi-
biity of England changing her attitude, there was always
a chance that foreign monarchies might establish their
systems" on American soil.
Now. with several of the Latin-Amerlcan republics
risen to sober self-government and real power, and all OF
them joining in a new and broader Monroe Doctrine I'M
der the name OF pan-Amerlcan1sm, and all united IN spirit
and soon, perhaps, to be united formaly-fOrelgn pow
es may well give up any expectation of making a breach
IN the democratic and autonomous western hemisphere.
1t looks now as if the motto of the Three Musketeers,
"One for all; all for one suggested by Secretary
Lansing in his address to the Pan-American Scientific
Congress at Washington, may be the real motto
OF the new federation of American republics. They will
act together for their common interests. They will settle
their own troubles peaceably in the bosom of the family.
They will face the rest of the world unanimously in de-
tense OF their own rights and in assertion of the American
idea of a free and peaceful civilization.
And while such cooperation may %disappoint certain
foreign powers in foihng their hopes of aggression, it will
vastly benefit all of them if they take to heart the lesson
taught. For, if twentyone different American countries
can live together in peaceful and friendly cooperation, is
1t too much to hope that even quarrelsome Europe may
heed the example and learn to do likewise?

FORD'S

Henry Ford is home again, Christmas is ten days gone
and the soldiers are still in the trenches. His delegation
OF freaks are unfortunately at large, but Europe knows
that America did not send them. The best of the party, as
far as there was a best, has left the reporters and the
camera men of the movies to do what they can do keep the
farce alive. Each of the others will bring back his own
verdict of why the mission failed.
In its qualifications for reconciing differences, that
delegation was .forcibly suggestive of Perry Aliens Jury.
Perry was a philosopher as well as the village wit in a
county-seat town back east. The selection of a Jury, or
important parts OF a jury, was frequently left to the sheriff
A jury of such selection had been celebrating for twelve
hours on an important case without reaching a verdict,
when the sheriff, sleepy and tired, and with the prospect
OF a night of "watchful waiting before him, drifted into
the corner grocery. Perry was there. Jury still out,
Ed? he asked. Yes, and the sixtieth ballot was Just the
same as the sixteenth, and you can hear EN- arguing all
over the courthouse square,
And then Perry took a paper and wrote down the
names of twelve men who had more of the courage of their
convictions" sometimes called pride of opinion, . than any
other twelve men in that jurisdiction.
Ed said Perry, handing him the paper, you're a
darn fool. If | were sheriff I'd take these twelve fellows
and put EN- in the Jury box when had to get a Jury. and BY
Heck, I'd get twelve verdicts while you're gettin' one"
1t is unfortunate for Ford that Perry Allen died before
this war started.

NEVADA

The women's New Year edition of the Nevada News
Letter is in circulation, and it fulIlls every promise made
for it. The cover is a work of art, done in four colors,
and within it are So pages of text and illustration and
artistically arranged advertising, making it a Nevada
souvenir that will be preserved.
The agricultural section is written by Chas. Norcross,
director of agricultural extension in the University of Ne
vada; the mining section is written by Chas. +. Spilman,
we'll known through the west as a mining writer; the wo~
mems section, devoted to women's clubs and other organ
izations and their work, was written by a number of we'll
known contributors; the Truckee-Carson project is de
scribed by +. ]. Hough, assistant project manager, and Miss
Jeanne Elizabeth Weir, secretary of the Nevada Historical
society, writes an interesting article on Mark Twain and
his relation to Nevada and the west. Other contributors
have added to the value of the publication. Mrs. S. d.
Eubank, as president of the Goldfield Womens club, gave
material assistance to the enterprise here where several
hundred copies were ordered for distribution to friends in
other states. The object was to advertise Nevada, and
the object has been we'll attained.

DOBBIN ON THE

No doubt the recent action of the city government of
New York in legalizing the sale of horse flesh came as a
distinct shock to the country at large, and particularly to
the rural districts where Dobbin is born and reared. The
American antipathy to horse flesh as an article of food is
such that we have been accustomed to look upon It's use
III France and other countries as a proof of the scarcity OF
food. But that IS not true, and we may expect the eN-
ample of New York City to be followed by many other
cities, particularly cities having a large foreign-born pop
ulation. There is likely to be as strong a demand tor
Dobbin as a provider of Juicy steaks as of buggy rides.
And how about the wild horse of the desert? Is he
likely to pass into the category of wild game? Are we
soon to see the Nevada Nimrod stalking the valleys and
the foothills and the shores of Walker lake in search of
equine game? But after all, why not? In any event,
why this prejudice against fattening the horse that has
served his usefulness in his accustomed field and offering
him in a sanitary way to those who would be glad to buyp
Why longer deprive by law or regulation those who
would practice this measure of economy here as they
learned to practice and enjoy it before they came herea
We shun the flesh of the horse, clearly sustained
by a purely vegetable diet, and eagerly devour the flesh
of natures scavengers, the PIG and the chicken, while til.
oyster and the frog are the choicest of delicacies.
1t will not be long before we shall be ordering fnet
of horse at our fashionable restaurants and hotels and
never turning a hair-unless it be one that was overlooked
by the chef.

NO WAR AGAINST BABIES

1t is proper that the efforts being made by Americans
to send matted milk and condensed milk to GERMANY for
babies should be supported by the government. and it is
imperative that Great Britain. controlling all the trade
routes, should allow the milk to enter Germany. The
British. we take it, are not making war on babies.
1t doesn't make any difference what grounds Ger
many has given her enemies for ruthless treatment. Ger
many, to be sure, hasn't done anything worth mentioning
tor the babies OF Belgium, northern France. Poland and
Serbia. They have died by thousands for lack Of food
Germany didn't let milk enter beseiged Paris in the Franco.
Prussian war. There is military precedent enough for
starving bables' along with the rest of a besieged or
passed for holding to such barbarous precedents. Even
the fact alleged by some Englishmen that Germany and
Austria have killed babies in their submarine warfare is
beside the point.
The German babies are not responsible for the acts cf
the German admiralty and army staff. And no nation
claiming to be civilized can consistently pursue war
policy whose weight falls on the enemy's children.

IF THEY GUILD DEP

We hear men claiming to be republicans say with APP
proval that Roosevelt will name the next republican candi.
date for the presidency, and we hear men claiming to be
democrats saying that Bryan will name the next demo.
cratic candidate.
Haven't we yet had enough of this bossism by these
two arch enemies of the boss in politics? Let the people
do it once; they do a better job. Didn't Roosevelt name
Taft? And didn't he fight him when he couldn't run him
Didn't Bryan name Wilson? And isn't he fighting him
since he couldn't run him?
Both parties have rules for the nomination of candi-
dates, and in neither instance is it provided that any man
shall be the convention. Europe and Mexico have been
showing us what this kind of politics and government
lead to. Must we continuously ask ourselves what this
country will do when Roosevelt or Bryan dies? And, We
Gods, suppose they should both die?
BY their own admission no convention deprived of
their guiding hand ever committed SO grave a blunder as
the two conventions which submitted to their will and
ratified their choice.

COPPER RESOURCES OF THIS REGION

There is ground for the belief, supported by develop
ments of the past few months, that Goldfield may soon
become the center of copper mining activities rlvaIln9
in Importance those OF some OF the most productive dis
tricts in the entire country. Mining men have long been
aware of the existence of large deposits OF copper ore III
this region, but high transportation rates to smelling cen
tiers have stood as an insuperable bar to the marketing OF
this ore. excepting for occasional small lots OF high-grade
material, and the owners of claims have heretofore failed
in their efforts to enlist the interest of men OF sufficient
means to install smelling plants.
The advance in the price of copper, with prospects for
a continued demand for the metal, has stimulated interest
in new fields, with the result that some of the fore
most copper interests in the country have entered this re-
gion and will undertake to develop copper mines on a
broad scale. The attention of these men is now centered
upon the Cuprite district, a dozen miles south OF Gold
field, and traversed by the main line of the Las Vegas Y
Tonopah railroad, which is owned by former United
States Senator William A. Clark of Montana.
Senator Clark, who is the largest individual owner OF
copper mines in the world, has lately taken under option
of purchase a group OF copper-bear1ng CLAIMS comprising
Approximately 900 acres. and his men are now developing
this ground by means of shafts and surface cuts to deter
mine its value. 1t is stated authoritatively that If the
property proves up to the surface indications, the owner
will erect a smelter of substantial capacity and extend a
branch line of his railroad to this ground.
The announcement that Senator Clark had entered
this field followed closely on the news of an important
deal in property a few miles to the west. near Jackson
Mountain and on the same mineral belt. Wealthy MIN
ing men are said to have completed negotiations tor the
purchase of the Tom Rea property, embracing a large
number of claims in which copper ore OF excellent quality
has been opened to considerable depth and in large vol.
ume. Another large property, near the Clark group ana
possessing excellent surface indications, which IS owned
by members of the wealthy Stuyvesant family o. New
York, has developed copper ore of high grade anc will Ne
worked in a comprehensive manner.
The district covers a large area, with indicators ~
copper at many points, and it's geology is said BY experts
to be identical with that of the Bisbee district in Arizona.
After a long period of Obscurity its mineral resources ap-
pear likely to command the attention they are believed to
merit and Nevada seems destined to have another min
eral producing district of the first rank. while Goldtleld, to
which the Cuprite district is tributary, will profit IN sub
stantial measure from the opening OF new mines practl-
ca1ly at its gates.

The employment of Frank Buchanan, former head OF
the organization whose officers conducted the biggest
dvnamiting campaign this country has known, was quite
the natural thing for the agent of any foreign government
seeking to cripple the industries of this country. The en-
alovmcnt of Frank Buchanan, member of congress in this
republic. for this service, was quite another thing. Con
gress, as we'll as the department of justice, has its duties
to perform. The Department. is on the job.

A FALSE PLEA

When Germany tried to justify her submarine and
Zeppelin murders of women and children on the ground
that her enemies were trying to starve her people, she
probably counted on the world forgetting that Germany
herself performed the biggest job of starving the world has
known-and only forty years ago, and within the memory
of thousands still living.
When the other powers stopped her from lombard
ing and destroying the city of Paris when she had it sur
rounded, she proceeded, without protest from the powers,
to starve the population into submission. History tells us
that cats and dogs became a delicacy, and even rats and
mice were consumed to allay hunger.
The rules of war have long recognized starvation as
one of the most humane methods of enforcing surrender.
The world would applaud tomorrow a peace pact based on
hunger.
That discussion of our foreign relations in open session
OF the Senate yesterday, for which Works of California
was chiefly responsible, was a most remarkable eNh1bl-
ton of the present weakness of that BODY. a part of the
treatv-makinop power. If a statesman, instead OF a pol1t1-
cian-"Gum Shoe Bill Stone of MissouriEhad been chair
man Of the foreign relations committee. that exhibition of
folly would not have been witnessed. 1t would have been
as impossible as the discussion in open session of an i'm
portant treaty involving delicate questions of foreign
policy.
