downright. 1915. by W. G.. Chapman.l


Copyright. 1915. by W. g. Chapman.)
When Eileen Roberts reached the
age of t~hirty-ive she resigned herself
gracefully to the prospects of spinster-
hood. She ceased to struggle against
a tendency to adiposity, and settled
down to the expectations of a perma-
nent position In the firm of Wakefield
and Gray, exporters.
In an Office filed with smart youths
and giggling girls, Miss Roberts ought
to have held a higher position than
that of a clerk. But she had never
had the money to study stenography
when she was a girl, and afterward
she had her sick mother to care for,
a task which absorbed the whole Of
her ten dollars a week. Simple-mind-
ed, she was the butt Of the younger
and more thoughtless element.
When a young clerk passes a WON
an with the fippant remark, Say,
Eileen, I'll get you a beau before long
trust me-" he needs a man of ma
ture age to take him across his knee
and thrash the viciousness out of
him. At least, that's my opinion.
Poor Eileen Roberts looked woefully
out Of place, and neither Wakefield
nor Gray had ever considered her
seriously for anything better.
With her placid, good-natured face,
her tireless industry. her patience, it
seemed incredible that anyone could
make sport of her. She was just the
woman, too, whom some rogue might
have taken advantage of. Perhaps it
was better that she had not married,
to slave for the sort of man who
would have deluded her into wifehoed.
At least, many thought so. But most
Of us thought nothing at all. And it
was always good fun to get a rise
out of Eileen"
New girls were always coming and
girls less new going. There was lit
tie Bessie Waters; she hadn't been
in the Office a week before she began
to tease Miss Roberts. 1t was a
strange thing, too, but the elder WON
an seemed to take an amazing liking
to her. She never noticed Bessie's

Nevada's new primary law was tried
for the first time Tuesday and proved
disappointing to a great majority OF
the people. 1t was passed by the last
legislature as a sort of compromise
between the old convention system
and the direct primary and was sup
posed to eliminate the Objectionable
features of both systems.
A certain class of our citizens pro-
fess to be in mortal dread Of the "po-
litical boss" and are never really con-
tented until they are making life a
burden for him. Now, what consti-
tutes a political boss? II is simply a
man who takes sufficient interest In
the affairs of his party to attend to
the details of primary and convention
work. Under the old convention sys-
tenn, he was usually a power in de-
Gliding whom the nominees should be.
and he endeavored to secure the nom
nation Of the party's strongest men.
The present system has not improved
matters in this respect. for were it
not for the efforts of a few men.
there would have been no candidates
for delegates of any party in the
field.
In the matters of expense the new
law effects a considerable saving over
the old. but it is a poor economy.
While under the direct primary law
judges and clerks were paid by the
county. the same as at a general cleo
ton, no provision is made for their
compensation under the new law. The
effect of this omission was clearly
shown yesterday, when a majority of
the judges and clerks appointed by
the county clerk under the law failed
to put in an appearance at the polls.
In some instances primaries were not
held at all. while in others volunteers
were called upon, and the polls were
opened with a complement of three,
instead of five officials, as provided by
the act.
No matter under what law prima-
ries r held. the people must wake
up and take an interest. or the ma
chinery will be run by the few. The
ordinary citizen takes so little interest
in vital public affairs that it seems
that the only remedy will be to enact
a law compelling every voter to reg
lister and vote at all elections and
provide a substantial fine for failure
to do so.

finally, that it will not furnish coaI 70
the Western states at greatly reduced
rates. but. if it furnishes coal at all,
it will be to those localities only
which cannot procure coal anywhere
else. The Alaska coal leasing measure
exemplifies the program which SEM
tor Pittman and the other land leasing
conspirators are seeking to impose
upon the mineral districts Of the West
including those of Nevada. 1t is of
relatively small Importance what at
titude Mr.. Pittman assumes upon
other public questions; if he is not
willing to sustain the constitutional
equality of the Western states with
those of the East and to prevent the
exploitation of the West by and for
the benefit of the East, he is a danger
Gus person for the West to have at
Washington. The people of Nevada,
regardless of partisan consideration,
should send to Washington men who
do not yield to the Establishments of
the hypocritical "conservationists" in
their ~endeavors to make the West a
proconsulate, governed by an imperial
oligarchy 1000 miles distant. The peo-
pie of Nevada should send to Wash
ington men who believe in local self
government and who realize that a
system of land tenure which is good
enough for one part of the country is
good enough for every other part.
The West should insist upon the in
tegrity of its legislative agents in
Washington. Its representatives
should possess backbone enough to
stand for their own communities.
Two measures are now pending in
Congress bearing upon the settlement
and development of Western lands.
These measures strike at the very
base of Western sovereignty. They
are directed against the interests of
the settler and developer, and Sena-
tor Pittman is n of those who have
been strangely persuaded by the
powers of the East to turn against
their own people. Nevada's duty is
very ~plain.-Mining American.

AN EASTERN SENATOR
FROM A WESTERN STATE

Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada
has addressed a communication to the
citizens of his state. in which he asks
for reelection at their hands next No.
vember. In this communication he
suggests his activities in Congress ant
his views upon certain public Ques-
tons as a reason for his return to the
Senate. Without any feeling either o.
personal or partisan luminosity toward
MI. Pittman, we feel it our duty to
take notice of his appeal to the citi-
zens OF Nevada, and to advise them
hat the Senator is now. and has been
for some time past, aligned with the
enemies of the West in their endea-
vors to strangle the generous deVel-
opment of Western resources, to un-
dermine the sovereignty of Western
states. to deprive the Western people
of their economic equality before the
nation. and to place the Western half
OF the country under tribute to the
other halt. Our natural and constitu-
tional rights with respect to the lands
which we occupy are placed i n
jeopardy. Senator Key Pittman is uu-
faithful to the West, and be should
not be permitted to represent or speak
for the West in any capacity what
soeyer. The only reference which Mr..
Pittman. in his address to the people
OF Nevada, makes to his unho,y alIi-
ance with the imperial autocrats OF
the East and the ~tax-eating bureau
Gratis or Washington. D. c., is on
tanned in a paragraph concerning the
Alaska coal leasing law. Concerning
this law he chooses to say that it
gives an opportunity to the poor man
TO mine coal. prevents monopoly, in
sures protection of wages aud tae
health OF labor. and will furnish coal
to the Western states at greatly re-
duced rates." The fact is that, since
the Alaska coal leasing bill was pass
ed nearly two years ago, there has
been no development of coal lands in
that territory, and the regulations
concerning coal leases which have
been drawn up will no doubt hamper
any such development in the future.
What MI. Pittman should have said
is that this law takes the opportunity
of development from the poor mar
and the rich man alike; that, |: IT, pre-
vents monopoly. 1t does so by prevent
ing development altogether. that. IL
