Indiana has repented. She wants

Ely i9 to have a new business
block. East Ely gets several of them.
Are we moving forward Well, rath
er, and it’s early in the year yet at
that.
When you happen to think you
have a kick coming on Taft just re
member that when he entered office
there were hundreds of thousands of
men idle, hundreds of thousand of
empty cars, thousands of idle engines
and a general state of collapse. In
changing all this the Taft administra
tion has accomplished wonders.
It seems to be a matter of what
railroad with the Defense. The News
happens to want to see both come.
But it is practical about it and hap
pens to know that the direct line talk
from Eureka is absurd. The very
fact that the Eureka line is surveyed
to Hamilton makes it all the more
absurd. If the Defense were fair it
would go on and tell us where the
Eureka line is surveyed to from Ham- j
ilton, presuming that it knows. If,
It does not know, we will inform it
that it is surveyed over the only
feasible route east from Hamilton by
Cherry Creek. Construction from
Hamilton to Ely has been pronounced
absolutely impracticable by half a
dozen corps of engineers. But what’s
the use. A railroad which has found
a feasible way to Ely and has asked
permission to come has been refused
that permission.
NOT Till. I It KIND.
From perusal of account of the
Evening Defense of the appointment
of Spencer Reynolds, of Eureka, by
Judge Breen to be receiver of the
Eureka bank it can only be gather
ed that because Mr. Reynolds has
been a worker in the employ of min
ing companies of Eureka all his life,
as a stationary engineer and at other
employments, and is look d upon as
a sterling citizen of the county, he is
unfit for the place.
Very practical gang reasoning, oj
a piece with the attempted disfran
chisement by the same gang of the
miners of Copper Flat two years ago
and of the attempted branding by
tui same gang of the employes of the
Smelting Co. at McGill as peons.
But we must take exceptions. We
have been in a good many mining
camps but fail to remember of one
in which there were not a half dozen
men employed at ‘running stationary
engines and other things,” who had
the stamina, the ability and the hon
esty to run any office or any bank
in the state. In this camp there are
men running stationary engines,
steam shovels, locomotives and do
ing “other things” about the mines
who could efficiently handle any bank
in the state as receiver or fill any
office in the state that they might be
elected to with efficiency, and to the
very much greater advantage of the
people than the present incumbents
of some of these offices, beginning,
too, at the top.
The gang attitude toward Mr.
Reynolds is very badly taken, for it
is a plain exposure of its hand. Rut
gangs never have use for the “sterl
ing citizen” except at voting time. In
office they will have none of him If
they can help it. His selection for
such favor comes only under pres
sure of political necessity. In the
Eureka instance it is a gangster, of
course, that is wanted. He would be
a fine and useful article in the ap
proaching campaign—while a sta
tionary engineer or man employed at
“other work about the mines” all his
life would simply sit tight in the bank
and see that the depositors got the

most that could be saved to them.
Give us the man “about the mines”
every time. And no political gang
has ever been able to keep him down
when he had the chance and the abil
ity to get up. Otherwise the great
heads of finance and industrial activ
ity of the country today would be
down in the scale of life and the
gangsters up.
I
THE DESERT WASTES.
The San Diego Panama Canal ex
position press committee is getting
busy. We have from it a eulogy
upon the great worth of present des
ert wastes to the people of the earth
that is so good that we are giving
it space in full below. For we have
some millions of acres about us that
will in due time be peopled and give
a wealth of mineral and agricultural
products to the world. Here is the
-r:
The news that San Diego has al
ready raised a million dollars for an
exposition in 1915; that another
million is about to be raised; and
that, no matter who likes it or who
doesn't, there is going to be a big
show, will send a sympathetic thrill
through any veins sufficiently blessed
with red blood, to know a plucky lit
tle sport when you see him. Bully
for little old San Diego! But Just
here a question comes up. What sort
| of a show does San Diego Intend to
I have? And the answer also sends
a tingle through the red corpuscles
—of tne Southwest at any rate, for
San Diego gives notice (and she
means it!) that her show is to be
"DIFFERENT.” Any old town can
have a world's fair. And we know
what a world’s fair is before we
see it. But an exposition the like
of which was never seen anywhere
on earth—that's what San Diego says
her big Fanama-Callfornia' Exposi
tion in 1915 is going to be. Which
is “going some.” And this is how
it’s to be "DIFFERENT.”
Man and boy, the oldest inhabitant
on earth can exclaim: “What's a
decade without a world's fair or
two?” Yes. Ever since the prince
consort opened the Crystal Palace
show, sixty-odd years ago, Princes,
Potentates and Presidents have been
asked to "push the button,” and ex
position managements have done the
rest—including, sometimes, the pub
lic.
I p to (lute, a world’s fair has been
a celebration of achievement. A sort
of glorified fifth act of the stupendous
drama of man’s attainment. But
what. San Diego proposes to do Is to
make her fair a curtain-raiser, In
tended to introduce the still more
magnificent drama of the possibilities
confronting the Southwest. The
name of this new play Is "Oppor
tunity.” Te-dlsplay the yet scarcely
scratched resources of the southwest;
to proclaim to the world the limitless
possibilities of arid America; to In
vite from the congested centers of
the earth the ambitious worker to
the waiting feast of profit and success
In the sun-killed open of this virgin
empire—this is what San Diego
means that her fair shall do.
At San Diego, ‘‘.Machinery Hall"
will not be the usual bewildering dis
play of everything that the wit of
man has contrived, from dynamos
and pianos to rat-traps and patent
can-openers. It will concern Itself
with an inspiring demonstration of
what invention wedded to human
purpose can accomplish here in this
vast southwest. All that is big with
promise in the tidal wave of emigra
tion sure to be set loose by the open
ing of the Panama canal will be
shown at the San Diego fair. What
ever these inexhaustible states pos
sess, in mineral wealth, agricultural
possibilities, climatic advantages, or
historical romance and scenic grand
eur, will be exploited at this unique
land singularly timely show.
Those magic words, "irrigation”
and “reclamation,” which have
caught and stirred Imagination of the
nation, will here be most convincing
ly interpreted to the wistful and cu
rious from far and near, arid strips
of the grounds being left to cactus
and sage brush, with verdant alter
nating strips (under the beneficent
operation of model Irrigating plants
at work in sight of all) proclaiming
that the whole Southwest waits only
intelligent development to become
Che veritable garden of the world.
Cotton will be shown growing be
side apples and wheat; oranges amid
i waving luxuriant alfalfa; silk worms
j will spin their priceless cocoons above
i kingly corn tassels; and flowers and
trees in all their serried splendor will
nod together in the perpetual sum
mer breeze, although embracing the
whole of the wondrous varieties
from the palm to the pine.
The pondrous enginery of mining
will stand side by side with the deli
cate apparatus of the worker In pre
cious stones. Surely, if the opening
of the great canal portends the
mightiest movement in history of the
children of men, San Diego has hit
upon the very way to establish the
unquestionable fact that,by geograph
ical situation and natural character
istics, she is to assume the dignities
and the responsibilities of the great
seaport of the Southwest.
In what a setting with what rare
charms of scene and atmosphere, may
San Diego celebrate her commercial
and industrial coming of age! No
world's fair ever held had anything
comparable to the site a vast four
teen hundred acre park In the heart
of the city—that will be used here.
With magnificent views of the sap
phire Pacific and coronet of moun
tain ranges, this purk (basking the
whole year round under a genial sub
tropical sky) will Itself repay the
visitor from New England or old
world who travels to the San Diego i
fair in 1015.
Its “Camlno Real," breathing the
very air of the old Spanish days, will
long outlive in memory the sordid
banality of the “Midways” and
“Pikes” and “Trails” of other fairs.
On the face of steep defiles cutting
down Into the canyons will perch the
adobe villages of New Mexico cave
dwellers; cowboys will patrol the
"corral” of the fair grounds; Indian
tribes will weave their baskets squat
ting beside camp fires; Japanese and
Chinese villages will nestle among
the groves of flowering fruit treeB;
Mexicans will thrum guitars and
dance In the shade of their haciendas
while their dreamy-eyed women pa
tiently toil at their exquisite “drawn
work;” and every type of southwest
ernor, from the brawny frontiersman
to the nervy builder of commerce and
trade, will be on hand in person or
with the triumphant evidence oi
what he dared do and still dares.
And over all the spirit of Laiuor
nia. One can fancy what this San
Diego exposition will mean. It vill
mean that here all that is most rent
iniscently winsome In the past, most
inspiringly inviting in the future,
will meet and mingle in a tapestry of
quaint and lovely texture and color.
Linder the witchery of the soft sum
mer nights, the pathetic plaint of the
Passing People will run like a minor
chord through the strenuous domi
nant of the giant people that is to
be, the conquering man who is to
grasp the tremendous opportunity of
the new southwest. Every s'ate in
the southwest, every one who has
cast his lot with its boundless future,
or who has cast longing eyes In its di
rection, owes it to himself to "get
back of” San Diego for the year of
grace 1915.
TWO-bIT tJRATITl DK,
A recent editorial in the Lander,
Wyoming State Journal is so perti
nent as to be worthy of reproduction.
Under the heading, “Two-Bit Grati
tude," the Journal editor says:
“In this enlightened age, publicity
is the greatest progressive force and
the individual or community that
neglects to employ it, loses thereby.
The newspapers want the town to
grow and prosper that they may
prosper along with the other citizens.
While they should in all reason ex
pect to make a small profit on all
work turned out they have never
even asked that when the good of
the town has been sought. The
average weekly newspaper gives
gratis for the good of the public from
$10 to $20 per week, or from $r>00
to $1000 per year. What other busi
ness man gives as much every year
for the community in which he lives?
The casual reader does not appreci
ate the fact that it costs so much
money to set every line of type in the
paper and that the editor who pays
his printers is giving just so much
money to the schools, the churches,
and the various lodges, societies and
associations every time he prints a
free reading notice for them. I)o
you suppose that any other business
uOUBe would give the price of a sack
of flour or sugar, a pair of shoes or
a suit of clothes to every organiza
tion in the county every week? Of
course not; they would not be asked
to do so even if they were generous
enough to do it. Newspaper men do
it because it has ben the custom to
do it and because they are public
spririted and want to help along
every worthy cause to a greater ex
tent than they are financially able.”
Commenting on the above, the
Evanston, Wyoming Times has the
following to say:
And the reward! Oh, yeB, the
editor gets his reward most often
where the chicken got the ax. The
average business man will write all
over the country for prices on ordi
nary commercial work; and he usual
ly gets his prices and the work—out
of town. Hut if you should fail to
mention that Jones got a carload of
potatoes or Smith a carload of farm
implements, or that the bankers are
increasing their deposits, there is an
Immendiaie howl. Then there is the
business man who dosn’t believe In
advertising. Let something happen
around his place of business and he
feels slighted if the newspaper does
not mention the occurrance. And
then there is the preacher and the
school professor, who would monopo
lize your space with lengthy articles
that would not Interest two per cent
of your readers. Refuse their request
and you get a shoulder rebuke.
"A newspaper's space is its stock
in trade— that which buys bread and
butter and pays ofT the printer. The
newspaper is willing to donate its
■pace in boosting for the town, but it
should not be looked upon as an ac
commodation bureau for those who
are always looking for something for
nothing.”
