UNJUST CRITICISM.

The TuscarOra TImes-RecieW
INDUCES in what appears to be a
very spiteful and certainly a
very silly criticism upon Sena-
tor Dennis bill creating a State
Board of Equalization. 1t says.
We are fearful that tits just
such bill as Steve Gage would
advocate and desire to be pass
ed" The truth is Mr.. Dennis
bill is almost an exact copy of
the Creswell bill which passed
the Senate four years ago and
which met with such strenuous
opposition from the railroad cor
pOrations, and we have excel
lent reasons for believing that
its provisions are equally dis
tasteful to those bodies at pres
ent. The TImes-Rerie,c's sug-
gestion that the Board be COM
posed of persons elected for that
purpose is foolish and impracti-
cable. We have more than a
sufficient number Of State
officers now, and bill
increasing the army Of salary
drawers would never be serious
ly considered by either branch
OF the Legislature. MIR. Dennis
bill provides that certain State
officers shall perform the duties,
the only extra pay being six
hundred dollars per amman for
the Governors Private Secre-
tary who acts as Secretary of the
Board. The Committee ON
Ways and Means have reported
substitute for Mr.. Dennis
bill, which we understand
avoids the objections urged by
the railroad representatives in
the lobby. 1t may be a good bill
but we are inclined to the opln-
ion that the Dennis measure
would be the most acceptable to
the people. Such reckless and
unjust criticism as that of the
TuscarOra paper is certainly
poor encouragement for any
honest representative who de-
sires to protect the interests of
the taxpayers of the State by
forcing the railroad corporations
to bear their just proportion of
governmental expenses.

The bill introduced by Wells
changing the methods of pro-
cedure in the trial of criminal
offences only gives the accused
five peremptory challenges in
cases where the penalty is death
or imprisonment for life, and
three peremptory challenges in
all other cases. The bill passed
the House after a long debate.
The bill IS good, as it gives the
law something OF d chance to
convict criminals, and the State
of Nevada needs such a law. IN
ancient times the right Of trial
by jury was established because
men were considered guilty I'M
til proven innocent, and all the
changes in the law Of criminal
trials were made to preserve as
nearly as possible an equiIib-
rum between the'Crswn and the
defendant. Now the equiiib-
rum has been destroyed. The
accused is considered innocent
until Enthusiastically proven
guilty, and all the chances are in
in his favor. The regular Off
GERS Of the State Or county are
as a rule no match for the skilled
attorneys retained for the de-
fence, and numheriess safeguards
are thrown about the accused, SO
many ia fact that a dozen MUIR
derers or acknowledged thieves
goes free where one is con-
victed. When the jury law was
first established the jurors were
picked from eye witnesses of
the crime, if possible, or from
persons living in the vicinity of
the crime. Under the present
rotten system, knaves, imbeciles
and ignorant men who do not
red newspapers are in demand.
The new bill gives the State
chance and should become law.

"Men sometimes act as stalls For fe-
male shoplifters," said a shrewd store
detective to the reporter. A good
looking man, with Il brisk way about
him, can readily pave the way for the
operations Of a nimble-fngered wO-
man This is particularly the case at
the counters which are attended by
lady clerks. When a man and q wo-
man step up to the counter together
the man is sure to monopoliZe the lady
clerks attention if he is at all agree
able in his manner. While he talks
his companion slips what she CaD up
her sleeve or under her cloak"
What proportion of the shoplifters
that operate in this city are women"
was asked of one of the proprietors of
a large retail store.
Fully nineteen-twentietEs. 1t is
seldom that male shOplifter attempts
to work retail store alone, and the
instances where women are assisted by
men are not frequent. Male shoplift-
ers operate mostly in the downtown
wholesale stores. They go In couples
and generally drop into Il store soon
after the porter has opened the doors,
and while one of them engages the at
tention Of the porter the other makes
off with package of goods" The
merchants in the dry goods district are
supposed to be the heaviest downtown
losers by the operations of shoplifters,
but the ready-made clothing dealers
and the jewelers. are frequently victim
lied. A wholesale jeweler in Mailen
lane said that he lost at least $1,000
worth of goods every year by petty lar
cenies. "There seems to be Il gang of
shoplifters now working the iewelry
stores" he said, "who are careful to
avoid making an outcry. They take
but little at time, well knowing that
busy wholesaler cannot spare the
time to trace a theft of $75, 800 or
$3.50 worth of goods. Sometimes sew
eral days will pass before we miss the
stolen property. Then, of course, it is
too late to do anything. And, another
thing, merchants, as II rule, are very
sensitive on the subject of losses.
Many of them would much rather let
a thief get away with a few hundreds
of dollars worth of goods than say any
thing about the matter"
