Protection As An Issue

The Republican party has never lost
a presidential campaign on the clear
cut proposition of giving Americans
an advantage in their own market. If
America first" means anything 1t
should mean an advantage Tor meri-
cans in all American markets. "Of
all my fathers family l love myself
the best" said the clown, and of all
the people beneath the skies Repub-
licans should love Americans best,
and their pledge to grant Americans
this advantage when made the domi-
nant issue, has never failed to be
approved In a national campaign.
When and Why We Lost
Republicans did lose the campaigns
of 1892 and 1912 because in each In
stance the party forsook the issues of
protection. and declared in favor OF
a tariff measuring the difference in
the costs of production at home and
broad" This, as we have seen, is
equality OF trade opportunity" in the
American market as between Ameri-
can and foreign producers. If 1t costs
one dollar to produce an article in
America, which, because of cheaper
wages some foreign country can pro-
duce for seventy-five cents. a tariff of
twenty-five cents will give hat u
try equality of trade opportunity" In
our markets. which Is identical in
practice with free trade as illustrated
in England.

AMERICAN WOMEN SEE
LEAGUE FALLACY

The Cincinnati Enquirer prints the
following convincing editorial on wo-
mans attitude toward the Wilson
League of Nations, in 4 recent issue:
1T is fallaciously being urged in
this campaign, we think, that the
women of America with practical
unanimity are for the League of Ma
tons. The promulgators Of this state
nent base their faith upon the fact
that women hate, and are opposed to
war. So are all right-thinking men
opposed to war as a general PROPOSE
ton. Good men hate war. Save as
righteousness, justice. the interests
of civilization demand the sacrifice,
men and women oppose the sending
of their sons to feed the nav of bat
tie. This is why the nation is not 60
of a League of Nations, the assurance
of the success of which is a matter
which must rest on the knees Of the
gods until tested in that crucible in
which boil and bubble the passions,
prejudices, and selfishness of men.
THE Presidents dictum that this
league will keep us, along with other
nations, out of war is a dictum and
nothing more. He can no more prove
his case than he can prove the earth
Is fiat because Job refers to its four
corners. We know that he did not
keep us out Of war, though barely
winning his election through the as
sistance of that appealing slogan.
why should women favor the
League OF Nations? That league now
in existence, not only failed to keep
Poland out of war. but frankly de-
serted her in her hour of need. 1t
was France, not the League of Ma
tions, who lent vital aid to Poland
thus proving the worthlessness Of
that Utopian dream to function eff
fectively.
"Pacifism assumes many guises
yea. and DISCUSSES. But neither the
men nor the women of this nation ia
vor any sort Of pacifsm which leaves
in doubt the safety of America.
"The women of America never
have refused and never will refuse to
give their sons to the country in time
of national crisis, nor in time of the
worlds great need. But they may
well hesitate to be bound by the terms
of a covenant over which parties and
chancellories and individuals are dis
putting; some saying that it
this, others insisting that it e
something else while nobody knows
or can know really what it does
mean"
This. from m of the strongest and
most influential independent Demo-
cratic newspapers in the Middle West
will convey some idea of the reason
why Harding will carry Ohio with
Cincinnati contributing to the grand
total about $4,000 plurality.

WALL STREET
INFLUENCE

Governor Cox and his running mate,
Franklin d.. Roosevelt, worked them
selves up to impassioned heights of
oratory upon the subject of how the
predatory Wall Street interests are
preparing to buy the presidency for
the Republican party and upset the
federal reserve bank act. In view of
this contention the New York Evening
Posts announcement of cordial sup
port" of the Democratic ticket must
be more than an embarrassment to
Governor Cox. The Post is owned by
Thomas w. Lamont, of the firm of j.
p. Morgan and Company.
j. p. Morgan and Company are prob
ably the chief of our international
bankers. They favor Cox because
Cox favors the Wilson league, and
the Wilson league is an international
proposition which promises profit to
them. If j. p. Morgan and Company
are not representative of Wall Street.
we know of no firm which is. And yet
Cox has the support of the firms

fluence. We doubt that he will be
able to divert attention from this
fact by verbal attacks upon Wall
Street and the reported SIS. ZOO. 900 or

that all money spent in a campaign is

THE NEVADA


Until Warren G.. Harding takes
office on March 4th next, we must
place our trust in the Lord and the
Republican element of our good Con-
gress to steer our beloved ship of
state through the shoals and bars,
rocks and whirlpools of the present
Democratic administration and out
into the deep water of the Republi-
can Sea Of America First, Last and
all the Time.
1t Is necessary at this time that
every mar in every state rally to the
support of the Republican party. 1t
Is not sufficient to elect Harding. He
must have a Republican Congress to
accomplish his great purpose. To
elect a Republican President and a
Democratic Senator and Representa-
tive would be the greatest kind of
folly. 1t would be like clothing a
man in a vest without the coat and
trousers.
If you do not intend to vote for
Oddie and Arentz, Nevadans, your
vote will be thrown away. You have
had years of Democratic misrepre-
sentation in Washington, but what
has been accomplished? An irriga-
tion project in Humboldt county
would be of inestimable value. Thou
sands of acres could be reclaimed.
We have several streams the daming
of which would make our community,
and all of Elko, Lander, Humboldt
and Pershing counties, second not
even to the Salt River Valley of Ari-
zona, where the Roosevelt dam has
brought millions of dollars and thou
sands of increased population.
Why haven't our Democratic repre-
sentatives started something? Nevada
is the poorest state in the union in
point of population. Almost bank
rupt, while in u we are equal
to any and superior to ONE.
Every other state have received ap-
preparations for development of one
kind of another from Congress. Ari-
IONA, the youngest state, has had mill
lions spent upon her, while Civil war
born Nevada has had practically
nothing.
We have nothing to hope for from
our present representation. They
have proven that, and should not be
elected on the plea for " another
chance" Now is the time to change
so that the wave of prosperity which
is bound to follow the election of
Harding and Coolidge will do more
than merely roll over our heads and
pass on to California. Oddie and
AREN'T promise action. Let us give
them a chance.
And remember, a vote for the indie
pendent Congressional candidates is a
vote for the Democrats. 1t is the his
tory of Nevada elections that the
Democrats vote solid, the same as
they do in the Solid South. The Inde-
pendent candidates have the steady
effect of splitting the Republican and
Independent vote and thus send Dem
ocrats to Congress as representatives
elected by a minority of Nevada vot-
ers. Statements to the contrary are
proven false by election results of
former years. Notice also that the
Independent candidates are always
Independent REPUBLICAN, candi-
dates.
The only remedy is to vote for
Oddie and Arentz if you vote for
Harding. To vote otherwise is to in
vite Democratic success and disaster
to Nevada industry.

r ACK Of cotton and wool for German

fibcrs.
The singing ncttle was planted over
wide areas, and its fiber proved so sat
isfactory that even now 100. 900 tons of
it are being used annually in Germany
for textile fabrics. An excellent thread
is also made from it.
A new and very promising fiber, which
affords a good substitute for wool, is
obtained from the common bulrush. or
''cattail." of the swamps and stream
banks. Its yield is many times greater
than that of the nettlc.
Stapcl, Il flcshy -leavcd plant. has
proved available for the production of a

a pulp and passing the latter through Il

Fins Valuable

NOV that shark fishing has become
~ a considerable industry. the skins
being valuable for leather, there is op-
portunity for those engaged in it to
derive additional profit from the fins.
Shark fins are highly priced as an
article of food in the Orient, fetching
sixty five to seventy five. cents a pound !;
and the supply does not equal the de-
mand. About five tons of them are
received monthly at San Francisco, and
of this quantity the bulk is exported to
China.
The tail fins have no market value.
1t is the dorsal pectoral and anal fins
that arc desirable. chiefly for soup. The
fisherman should trim away all the
flcshy parts and dry the fins thoroughly
in the sun, without sailing.

Grains of Gold

ONE of the worlds most prolific gold
~ fields at the present time is in the
Kolar district (Mysore State) of India.
Discovery of it was made in a curious
way,
In prosperous years. when the gods
favored the valley with an ample harvest
of rice, grains of gold We're found now
and then on the rice ears. This greatly
mystifed the natives who ascribed the
gold to supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grains, derived from the gravelly
soil, lodged on the young rice plants
when they were being grown in nur-
series (for subsequent transportation
to the fields) and flooded at intervals
with water.
The strange occurrence, at first
deemed supernatural, led to the discov-
cry that the gravcls of the valley were
rich in gold. brought down from the
mountains. Since then the Kolar dis
trict has contributed largely to the
worlds supplWof the yellow metal.

Tests for Aviators
Without Sending Them Aloft

TtEE famous military academy of st.
Cyr. in France. has recently cstab-
lished an acrotechnic department for the
training and testing Of student aviators,
and also for the working out of prob
lens that have to do with flying.
One Of its interesting features is a
pneumatic c%aisson, III which the air
pressure can be regulated so as exactly
to correspond to any level in the atmos-
nllere. The student placed inside Of it
is exposed, in this respect, to the con
ditions he would encounter in a climb
upward to lofty attitudes.
Thu temperature inside the caisson is
likewise under control, so that the occu-
