THE MEN WHO
MAKE THE STATE
Hon. ". c. Pitt of Lovelock, State Sen.
ator From Humboldt County.

Senator w. C. Pitt is one of the
men who make the State. He is a
most substantial citizen of the common
wealth. He is heavy taxpayer, a
man Of family, a leader in the com
munity where he dwells. He is in
dustrous, honest and capable. He
built up himself, his reputation and his
modest fortune, at Lovelock by wise
and continued endeavor. At the same
time his labor pushed his town ahead
and futher developed the resources of
the surrounding agricultural and min
eral lands. One of the grand traits of
his admirable character is that of be-
ing willing to accept and perform any
duty in public life upon the call of his
fellow citizens. He says any such act
required to be done for public good is
Of value and is not to be slighted, for
the sum of the small things Of life
make the important total, and success
is by degrees. The spirit that moves
him he has the power to communicate
10 his fellows and in the combined ef-
fort he bears more than his share of
the burden. He is bundle of tireless
energy and knows not how to fail In
anything he undertakes He persis-
tently hammers until he attains the OBJ
ect sought. for If foiled for a time in
one direction he works around the OBJ
structlon ever toward the goal. Every
body and everything interested with
him is carried along from the begin
ing to end. He has shown remarkable
foresight and always braced 1t with
strong reasoning power and the result
is generally what was looked for and
expected. He is generous enough to
share with others and other men
with confidence in him and his
work have reaped reward. He has
been ever ready to advise and counsel
those who sought him. whether for
individual or public profit. He is not
afraid Of hard work and does as much
Of it as any man in the State. He is
not afraid of study and spent more
hours at it on the revenue bill than any
other member Of the legislature. 1t
was worth the entire session to get
the measure started. 1t has forced
the people to think and the statesmen
to seek solution Of the problem. 1t
brought Senator Pitt before the people
and showed them there is good ma
terial in him. II may cause them to
send him higher, to position of pow
er where he can put his ideas in opera
ton with their help. Surely they have
no gift that cannot be worthily bestow-
ed upon him, surely they cannot find
man in the State that promises better
Development in any position they place
him. If this State is to progress it is
TO be through the effort Of such earnest,
honest, capable men as Senator Pitt.
He is not Of our politics but we recog-
nlze in him the merits we would like
to see all public officers possess, and
men like him at the head of our public
affairs could and would accomplish
more in a decade than could incom-
petents in an eternity. In the selec-
tlon Of such men to administer our
important business, and to guide the
Ship Of State, will lie our salvation
and our future. The purpose of this
series Of articles about the men who
make the State is to call attention to
'ne men whose life work has been in
Tie State, who are true to her best in
'erests and who do at all times promote
uhem. The men whose patriotism is
p'oVeroial, who are to form the founda-
