Who Won?

Because the State University boys
failed to advertise a football game last
Saturday or Sunday no mention was
made OF the attraction in the Reno pa
pers. The University lads got on a
huff because the Reno papers said
some truths about hazing and the boys
to retaliate refused to advertise the
game of football. The people who are
interested in this sort of sport would
like to know who won the game and
who was the contest between. Prob
ably had the boys let the affair be
known through the papers number Of
Carsoites would have visited Reno on
the occasion and rooted Justify for the
Nevada boys. At any rate, who won
the game?

Buying Apples.

Nevada apples like the spuds are in

When California is short on any par
ticular article, Nevada is looked to for
the goods and when they are placed on
the market they are as rule labeled
California product. Some day the far
mers of Nevada will form a home COM

State will go onto the market under the

The above statement means much to

The Big Races.

Sunday will see big time at the race
track, the FIVE mile race between Stan
ley and Wing being billed for that day
Both men have been training faithfully
for the event and the fact that they do
not start from the scratch together will
prevent any jockeying with time or of
changing pace.
Naturally Carson figures that Wing
will win the race and the Reno Wheel
men hold the same opinion of their
man. This is what makes race and
also brings the people out to see the
contest. Ever since the race between
keddie and Wing the Carson wheelmen
have felt that Wing could beat the Re-
no man at any distance. Stanley
who is regarded as one OF the fastest
five-mile men on the Coast, has always
held a warm spot in the racing world
of Nevada as he has defended the hon
ors with flying colors on number OF
occasions. Wing, who trained the
Carson boys for victory over the Sac
! ramento team, has shown himself a
very fast wheelman and withall a true
! sport. There is no doubt that he is the
, fastest man that ever wheeled over the
Carson track, and when he and Stanley
try conclusions Sunday, a race for the
State record, and mayhaps the Coast
record will be handed out. This one
race is enough to bring out all the
wheelmen and a crowd OF spectators
Along with the big guns comes a race

Howard Mulcahy. They have boil

ticns Of the race are the same as thos,

people can look forward to a race be
tween the two that will give them a rid
for their money With this sort OF
program arranged it is safe to stat
that the grand stand at the track vii

THE GREAT LAND LOTTERY,

From the Boston Herald.
 If the great drawing by which 1S,000 farms in the. Kiowa-Comanche district are to be distributed this week is con cluded without a riot 1t will be great good fortune. These lands, formely be- longing to an Indian reservation, have been opened for settlement. It is indica- tive of the unrest of the people of the far West that upward of 10000 claimants have been registered. The first scheme was to permit all who came to enter the promised land as they might, pell mell, at a fixed hour. There was likelihood of Q repetition of the mad rush and deadly conflicts that occurred when Oklahoma was opened up, when the strongest and most brutal seized upon the choice sec tions by sheer violence. To prevent this unfairness and cruelty, the device of an official drawing has been resorted to by the officials of the land office. It Is a lot tery of vast proportions. Chance, not violence, will determine who shall have each of the several portions into which the tract has been divided by official sur yeys. But hundred and forty thousand persons must be disappointed. Whether they will be able to swallow their disap- pointment and depart peacefully remains to be seen.

ALABAMA IRON.

From the Washington Post
 The remarkable strides Alabama has made in the production of commercial State at the Arlington last night, Ifs but an instance of what must happpn in many othr parts of our country. For gen- erations the great fields of iron ana coal lay there practically unknown. When de- velopment was started the wiseacres said that 1t was ridiculous to try to make iron in Alabama in competition with the great furnaces in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illin- ois But look at the result. Alabama has been shipping thousands of tons of iron abroad where Pennsylvania has shipped practically none out of this coun- try. w can make iron cheaper in Ala bama and particularly in Birmingham, on account of the natural conditions, In the valley wherein are most of the Bir- mingham furnaces are found the iron ore on one side, the coal on the other and the limestone in the middle. This and furnace is practically all that is required to make pig iron.

State Primary in Mississippi

The Mississippi Legislature will meet this year, and the warmest subject that will come before 1t will be uniform primary election law. Such law is peculiarly well adapted to States that have to all intents and purposes but one party, and the tendency among those States is to adopt well-guarded State primary law, thus giving all the people an opportunity to express a choice and take hand in the selection of all officers from an United States senator to constable. This question will come up at the coming session of the Legislature in Mississippi. Says Senator Moore, chairman of the judi ciary committee:
 ''Mississippi needs uniform primary law, and it will undoubtedly be passed at the next session of the Legislature, as II should. understand that Governor Lon- gino will recommend 1t. A majority of the members of the Legislature. in my opin- ion, favor it, and the people of the State are demanding 1t. The uniform primary law would have passed at the last session had the proper kind of bill been framed. It will require much careful consideration before suitable measure can be adopted. however, and the members should now commence to give it painstaking study"
 If the provision stands in the suf frage article forbidding State pri maries, Alabama will be left to the mercies of the caucus and convention The politicians uo not want State primary law. They do not want any primaries. But it is very unfair or their part to put their plans in the proposed constitution, simply because they are. the delegates, and the people are not.

Local School Taxation.

Those who have struggled for more ress-for less illiteracy and more edu- cation-should read the following brief article taken from Mondays Atlanta Constitution:
 The principle of local school taxation has received strong support from State Tbs Is in line with previous declarations of State School Commissioner Glenn and Senator Lemuei Johnson of Waycross of other friends of education.
 The drawback in public education in Georgia today is the absence of local In- centive. The people have been led into expecting from the State full support of their public schools. In a majority of counties the inhabitants are content with the small proportion of school funds re- ceived from the public treasury and do not seem to feel that there rests upon them necessity of supplenenting ths mon- ey The result is indifferent schools, half-paid teachers and a paralysis of from six to seven months between every school term. There can be no continuity ,. of instruction Whenever a child has Tcached a certain point of progress the schoofis closed for such a length of time that almost all the child has learned has been forgotten and it has to begin over again. A few counties have asked for special legislation by which they can supplement- the amount received from the state. The natural result has followed. These particular counties are the centers of progress in Georgia. Their inhabitants are wide awake and are drawing to them- selves advantages which could just as readily be secured by the people of other counties would they but bestir them selves. In advocating the addition of local effort to what Is being done by the State Senator Johnson shows that he Is alive to public exigency and is lead eng in good work.
 Alabama can establish local taxation today in it's organic law, instead of leaving it to become source of agita- tion, ano a source of piece-meal legisla- tion. And why should any object? Why should any Black Belt county object? Controlled by a small and select cleo torate, it could under local taxation 9aW refuse to avail of its terms, while the white counties would accept those terms perhaps. This would not cost the Black Belt county cent. Why should + obioct fban9
