QUELQUEFOIS.
The Worlds Prayer.

Obi Almighty Dollarl
Our acknowledged Governor and
Preserverl
Without thee we can do nothing.
With thee we can do all things
Obi Almighty Dollar, when thou art
with us in abundance how gleefully the
beefsteak frizzles on the gridiron, and
how cheerfully the anthracite diffuses
its heat throughout the apartments,
bringing joy and happiness to all
hearts encompassed by the four walls
of our habitations.
But Oil Almighty Dollar, how desc.
late is the hearthstone, and how sad
are the faces of each member of the
household when thou art not with us.
Obi Almighty Dollar, if while in the
midst of this life we are accused OF
crime, and are brought before that
august, tribunal, the county court.
Then, Oh! Almighty Dollar, thy po-
tency is felt, for thou with thy power
canst provide US the feed lawyer, the
bribed judge and packed jury, and
behold we go scot free, without spot or
blemish on our character.
OH Almighty Dollar, when we are
Frustrated upon bed of sickness, and
we are about to lose our hold on earth
ly things, then again thy power is felt,
for thou canst surround us with the
good and the just. and our hearts are
made happy by their ministering care;
and when we are being borne to that
last resting place of the dead, thou
canst provide for us brass band to
accompany US thither, and last, but
not least, thou canst erect towering
monument over our remains, engraved
with lying epitaph to perpetuate our
memory.
Oh! Almighty Dollar, thou art the
handmaiden oflove and charity. When
our brethren and sisters of the sunny
south were smitten hip and thigh with
that terrible climatic scourge, the yell
low fever, thou didst fly on the wings
OF love and mercy to their aid and as
sistance; and where there was heard
but few days before the weeping and
wailing of hearts distressed, their la
mentations soon ceased in thy presence
and quickly gave place to the inspiring
strains of Hail Columbia and Yankee
Doodle.
OH Almighty Dollar, thon hast no
hyprocrites in thy temples. All bend
the knee in devotion, the sage and the
savage, the politician and the lunk-
head, all do thee homage.
Obi Almighty Dollar, in closing this
invocation, We most humbly acknow-
ledge thee as having been the god of
our grandfathers, and the two-fold god
of our fathers, and the three-fold god
of their children, ourselves, and we
most humbly beseech thee to be with
US in plenty and fullness, at all times
and at all places. Amen.
oh! Almighty Dollar, thy shining
face bespeaks thy wondrous power;
Let my pocket be thy resting place.
need thee every hour-Setected.

Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: Beer drinkers In
the United States paid over one-third
of the war tax. During the civil war
a tax of 81 barrel was levied upon
beer. During the Spanish war this tax
was raised to about $1S5 barrel. The
patriotic Americans who pay this tre-
mendous tax consume 100000 bar
rels per year. However, beer drinkers
are on a war basis all the time. The
revenue raised by those who are most
able to pay, and who derive about all
the profits of the Observation-Disclosures,
corporations and trusts--does not ex-
coed $4,000, 900 year.

The River and Harbor bill is up be-
fore Congress. 1t is the second largest
on record, and it is regardless of the
war. 1t appropriates S60,00o,o0o for
the improvemento of rivers and harbors,
Of which sum about 1923, 100000 is for
direct work, and $37, 100000 is for con-
tinuation of work. Petaluma Greek
gets So, 900, Napa ''river' $4,000, Red
wood creek So, 400, in California. Sew
eral thousand dollars are appropriated
to improve creeks in Oregon. WASH
ington gets its fingers in the pie for
several thousands, presumably to cut
willows and fill in sloughs. The three
States get large sums for genuine rivers
and harbors. The great lake ports get
tremendous sums, as reward for their
loyalty to the party. Nevada gets
5000, 900, 900, principally for water stor-
age.

The Mexicans first cultivated land
on the Rio Grande in Mexico, and APP
propriated the waters thereof. Then
followed enterprising Americans in
New Mexico and Colorado, above the
Mexicans, and soon diverted about all
the waters of the river unto their own
lands. The Mexicans have been ruined.
Complaint was made at Washington,
and in 1896 joint commission was APP
pointed by the Mexican and American
governments to investigate the facts.
1t was perplexing situation for the
commission. The Mexieans were the
prior appropriations, and the Americans
were up the stream, and got the first
chance at it, and it is against the law
among farmers to let any water down
to their neighbors as long as they can
move about their own farms without a
boat. The joint commission reported,
and advised an equal division of the
waters in point of time, and that the
two countries enter into a treaty to
effect the same, and further advised
the construction of engineering works
for the purpose effecting the division.
The reader will notice from the facts
stated that the Mexicans occupy po-
sition which is. not different from the
position of the West Fork farmers in
Douglas county with reference to the
The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1901-01-18

A Democratic or Republican form Of
government is government of major
tiles, by majorities, and ought to be
for everybody. 1t Is evident that a
very large number of people in Nevada
desire to amend the Constitution so as
to permit the establishment of lottery
in this State. The people ask the
Legislature to submit the question to
the entire State, whether we shall or
shall not have lottery. This is DEM
ocratic. A number of other people de-
sire to squelch this expression of pub
lie opinion. This is undemocratic. 1t
Is more dangerous than the lottery. /
am personally opposed to having any
lottery in this State or elsewhere, and
shall vote against it. But, after all,
a lottery is not any worse than stock
gambling, bucket shops, wheat pits
and corners upon the necessaries of
life, and the manner in which our East
ern friends hold up their hands in
holy horror at the idea of having a
lottery in Nevada really comes with
bad grace. They ask us to be good,
while they are picking our pockets.
Let the people say what they want. 1t
is impossible to legislate people into
being good. There never was great
reformer or great moralist who did not
die in disgust. Even old Solomon
died convinced that all was vanity,
and nothing but vanity.

Jose Sanchez was hanged at Silver

official hanging there in fifteen years.
He was charged and convicted OF the
murder OF Catarino Alamandarcz,
which occurred near Santa Rita in

prisoner, two officers and a consunnp-
tive wearing long-tailed coat. They
are pretty hard looking cases, and
wSre it not for the mask over the face
OF the prisoner, one would be in doubt
as TO which OF the three was the real
criminal The Enterprise said:
"Sherif GoodelI certainly deserves the
highest commentator for the perfect
manner in which the hanging was con-
Quoted. There was not a hitch from
beginning to end. There were those
in attendance who had witnessed many
hangings and their statements were to
the effect that never had they seen
things carried out with such perfection

Professor, Francis j. Birtwell of Bos-
ton met with horrible fate on the Rio
PecOs. He was high up in a tree
after birds nest, when the rope he
was using in climbing caught on a
limb loop frightened around his neck
and he was slowly strangled to death
before the eyes of his bride OF a
month, who, with two men stood at the
foot Of the tree, unable TO help. The
Professor had climbed the tree by the
aid Of a pair of lineman's spurs and
was seventy-five feet from the ground,
when he called for help. His wife
called to two men who we're near, and
they made quite long rope by tying
shorter ones together and threw it up
to him. He was getting down nicely
when one OF the knots in the rope
caught in the fork OF limb, prevent
ing it from slipping up or down. In
attempting to free it Birtwell jerked
one OF his arms out of the loop, when
it frightened around his throat. He
was unable to lift his body to loosen the
rope, and before the eyes of his wife
and the two men he was strangled to
death. A ladder had to be secured to
get the body down.
