MERELY SUGGESTIVE.

to the lecture field. Governor Perkins
who is understood to be a candidate t,
succeed Senator Farley in the United
States Senate, is lecturing for the Len
eft of charitable and literary societies.
Irving Scott, strongly talked of in cen
nection with the Republican nomination
for Governor of the Golden State, Is
also before his people as a lecturer.
Neither Perk ms nor Scott, as reported
ley the press of California, has created a
profound sensation as a lecturer, and
the friends Of the late Ralph Waldo
Emerson have no cause to be jealous Of
their dead friends reputation. But
charity funds are increased by TIE lee
turirg politicians, the people, not over
critical when a good work is II be ben
Gifted, appear to be satisfied, and
Perkins and Scott have, to Use the
slang OF the times, a double shot at
their audiences. That ST. ces:ful worker
in literary mcsaics-0f course we refer
to Newton Bo0th-lnado two master
strokes in the direction Of net0riety,
the one through a lecture on Swenden-
bergianisnl, the other Through he&uti-
fully worded and seductive circular
setting forth the virtues Of S. T. Suits
whisky. But we started out 81 make
a suggestion, and here it is: Nevada
has her institutions Of charity, her
poor 10 provide for in the way OF cloth
ing and food, and here is the Opp0T-
tunity for some OF our Otfce-secI,ins
ones with literary ieaningS or longinGS
to do a double service. 1t is a t.elusion,
popular in the Eastern State, but
nevertheless a de!usion, that literary
men are at discount in Nevada, and
that we are simply q waste where only
the coyote, the horned toad, the sand
fly and sagebrush flourish. True, we
are not breaking out, or scabby, ~
Mark Twain coarsely phascd it, with
scholastic institutions, but haven't We
got State University at Elko, OF
which car modern Athens is justly
proud: But we are slightly aggressive.
An exciting State campaign is approach
Jag, and we would like to see the old
order of things, torchlight professions,
noisy drunken political mOts, etc, done
in l,nir c<o
of lectures delivered by our political
candidates. The economic idea cannot !
fail to penetrate the thiclcst and hard !
est Nevada skull. Cur Democratic
Cn.tnu States Senator, ever the sup /
porter of liter turc in its highest aims,
might tell us from the lecture platform !
whH. he knows about Stringers. One
OF orr Democratic car d.!atc~ for Gov
ernur, whose Rustinian En- s.:i h is the
of all who are the fortunate
possessors of unabridged Websters,
could make himself bcwildering!y
in a lecture Oh history Of
-Four Kings. A Republican candidate
for Secretary of State would draw i'm
on the subject, What | Know
A bout Anti-Chinese Conventions. Bat
WAY should we further excite the Ne
vada literary appetite at this time with
the intellectual menu which Nevuda's
might furnish d? We are
merely suggestive, as indicated in the
heading to this article, and we consider
the suggestion worthy the attention Of
The Republican and Democratic State
Ccntra! Committees Of Nevada.
