BEAUTIFUL CHINA GIRL Is
ABDUCTED FROM RANCH

The sheriff's Office at Elko was no.
tilted yesterday by Constable Nc
Combs of Wells to look out for a
party going out of Elko county having
a Chinese girl with them, and that it
was supposed they were going west
In an auto, says the Elko Free Press.
The girl is the daughter of China
Charlie" who has a ranch a few Llilea
out of Tecoma, and who came to Elko
yesterday declaring that his twenty
year-old daughter had been kidnapped
and claimed that an Italian. who had
been seen around the ranch recently
was the man whom he suspected.
The girl is a handsome, buxom
Chinese girl, who has absorbed many
of the American ideas and among
them is the one that each girl should
be allowed to choose her W hus-
band, instead of the old China me-
thod of having the husband selected
by the parents, and 1t is believed that
instead Of being kidnapped. the father
will find that his girl has simply
eloped.

oArKE STARTS OIL GUsHER
In LOS ANGELES STREET

The earthquake shock which jarreu
lbs Angeles shortly before noon last
wednesday brought in" an oil gush-
or in one of the residential Streets
according to reports from the city
engineer, says the American Min Re
porter.
The oil well" suddenly bursting
Trough the pavement, shot high into
the air and spouted a great volume
of crude petroleum in the street, near
the cement curb, at Occidental boule-
yard and Third street, which touches
the oil field in that section.
City Engineer John Griffin rushed
to the scene to take charge OF the
work of controlling the flow OF OIL
which was reported to be flooding the
street and running down street gut
ters for blocks away.
Griffin explained the strange pne-
nomenon by reforming of substrata
of earth by the recent tremblors sc
that the oil pressure acted to bring
in" the freak gusher.

cratic parties. Herein are stated
some fundamental differences which
should be so clear to every citizen
that no one should hesitate a momeni
in determining which party to sup
port. All who favor the use of COM
modities produced in japan should
vote the Democratic ticket. Those
who favor the use of American goods
produced through the cooperation OF
American labor and capital, should
vote the Republican ticket. And this
applies not merely to candidates for
the Presidency, but to candidates fol-
the senate and the house of represen-
tatives. Economic policies are de.
termined mor by congress than BY
the President. Be careful how you
vote.

THE
DOCTOR

In talking with a Winnemucca doc,
tor a few days ago he informed u:
that there is an actual shortage o.
doctors in this country now, and tina
the shortage is felt more keenly il
the rural districts than in the city
In fact, he said the country doctor is
disappearing and the people far back
in our rural communities are actually
suffering for want of proper medi.
cal treatment. The auto helps tc
take care of the situation, in that II
is now possible for a doctor to cover
more miles that he formerly could OIL
horseback or in a buggy. But We
must also remember that there are
hundreds of miles Of road in sue
shape that autos cannot travel ther
and the people living along then
must get a doctor to their home the
best way they car.
He says the real reason for the
shortage is there are not enough
students in the medical colleges
not enough doctors being graduated
each year. A young man must pu.
in eight or ten years, at least. to be-
come a proficient doctor, and these
days there are many professions of
fering as great, or greater pay which
he can enter with a schooling of
two or three years. The same time
a young man spends studying medi
cine would, If spent studying several
other sciences, fit him for earning far
more money than the average country
doctor receives-and after all the
sciences have developed pretty gen.
orally into the question Of how much
money they will net. The problem is
a serious one, since we can't all move
to the city. just for the sake of hav-
ing a doctor handy, and one which
it will take deep study to solve.

WYOMING ALL
b

Probably one of the first states to
be tagged "safe" and put away at
the head of the Republican electoral
column is Wyoming. according to re-
ports reaching the Western head
quarters Of the Republican national
committee. The Democrats are re-
fusing the challenge and, SO far as
party organization goes, will permit
the state to go by default to the Re-
publicans.
The Democrats have no organiza-
ton in Wyoming and no Democratic
candidates for either branch of the
legislatures in thirteen Of the twenty
n counties, but the final blow COM
ing to the remaining Democrats is
the passing Of the Cheyenne State
Leader, formerly the leading Demo-
cratic journal in the state, into the
hands OF its Republican contempor
airy. the Wyoming State Tribune.

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS
HARDING AND COOLIDGE
ONE BILLION AND
ONE.HALF SAVED

There is scarcely anything so de-
ceptive in discussion as a generality
This is particularly true In political
discussion. An illustration is found
In the declaration by Democratic
campaign managers that the recent
session of the Republican congress
"frittered away its time" BY that
broad denunciation, Democratic lead
ers hope to mislead many voters. The
statement is untrue, as a specific
study OF the record will prove.
Among other things, the recent ses-
SION of congress prevented the Demo
cratic administration from frittering
$500, 000, 900 of public funds. That
amount was cut out of administra-
tive estimates only after the most
strenuous opposition from President
Wilson's appointees. In order to
save that amount to the American tax
payer it was necessary for members
&C congress to exercise utmost care
lest. in the practice of economy, they
injure some important public work.
But there were other things the
Republican congress did besides en-
force economy. The enactment of a
railroad bill was necessary meas
ure made more difficult because the
Democratic administration had
Scrambled" the railroads during the
government control. There was also
necessary the enactment of the ship
ping bill, designed to make success
full use Of the ships that had been
built during the war and insure the
upbuilding and maintenance of an
American merchant marine. There
was legislation for the development
and conservation of waiter power;
for rehabilitation of injured soldiers;
for vocational education, and at
tempted legislation to repeal the
Presidents wartime powers with a
view to getting the country back on
a peace-time basis. In this latter eff
fort congress had the opposition of
the dictator in the White House by
whom its efforts were frustrated.
These are only a few Of the i'm
portant measures which the Republi-
can congress took up for discussion.
Consideration of these and action up
on them was delayed by the pro-
longed fight over the league of ma
lions. precipitated by the stubborn
ness of Woodrow Wilson, who insisted
that the United States must make the
supreme sacrifice through the adop-
ton Of his league of nations without
the crossing Of a "t' or the dotting
of an IL"
Republicans are willing to go be-
fore the people on the record of al
legged "frittering away of time," pro-
y'ded Democrats will be specific in
their statements and not ask the
country to believe them upon broad
unsupported assertions.

THE JAP
ISSUE

Democrats are going on record
against admission Of Japanese to the
United States, but they favor the free
admission of the product of japanese
labor employed in Japan. Which is
the greater evil? The Jap who pro-
duces here would at least spend part
Of his earnings here. Most of the
money would be kept in America. But
when American money is sent to ia
pan to pay for goods produced in ia
pan, all the price of the article stays
in Japan. Under Democratic poll
cies the grass mating industries of
tie United States were ruined while
Japanese manufacturers prospered.
IL we r to use mating produced by
Japanese labor, which is worse, to
have that Jap labor employed in the
United States or in Japan? The
democratic policy lacks consistency.
The Republicans propose not only
to keep out Japanese labor. but to
OF coolie labor sufficient to equal
the difference In lost Of production
here and in Asia. The Republican
policy Is consistent. The Republic
can policy ia wholly American; the
Democratic policy is wholly interna-
ticnal-like the league of nations
scheme. Republicans are for Ameri-
ca first; the Democrats are for the
world first and let America take
what the others do not want.
There are some thoughtless people
who assert that there is no difference
between the Republican and Demo-
