government Commissioners Studying De-
population OF France.

Inc premier of France, NJ Waldeck-
Rousseau, presided Wednesday at the
opening session of the parliamentary
commission appointed to investigate
the depopulation OF France. In his
address the premier said the question
was one of the most vast, and compli-
Gated that could be conceived, The
STATISTICS OF the past fifty years showed
there had been too few births and too
many deaths in France. The commits
sion would have to study how to com.
bat the great infant mortality, and al
SO now to prevent the diminution, and
increase the number of births, which
was the most difficult and obscure side
OF the problem. The government. he
added, intended to enbody the sruits
OF the commissions labors in future
legislation.

Soldier Who Killed Filipino Under Provo
cation Has Sentence Commuted.

cation has sentence tommuted.
Secretary Root Tuesday acted on the
case of Lieutenant Preston Brown,
Second infantry, who was sentenced
by court-martial to be dismissed from
the service. 1t appears from the evi-
dence that Lieutenant Brown shot q
native Filipino because he allowed an
American soldier to drown when he
might easily have saved him.
Secretary Root takes the ground that
Lieutenant Browns action in the
matter, while not justifiable, was ex-
cusable under all the circumstances.
and he therefore recommends the sen.
tence of dismissal be commuted; Lieu
tenant Brown shall lose thirty-fve
numbers in his grade and that he shall
forfeit one-half of has pay for period
of nine months.

Will Get Our Share

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Repre
sentative Newlands starts for Neva-
da next Saturday. He says that some
Of the Nevada papers are mistaken in
the assumption that under the irriga-
tion act Nevada can receive only the
benefit of the sales of the public lands
in Nevada. Under Section nine of r.
rigation Act the Secretary of the In
terror must, where practicable and fe-
asible, expend major portion of the
funds arising from the sale of public
lands within each State and territ-
DRY for the benefit of such state or
territory, the rest can be expended
anywhere in the arid region and even
the major portion of tire proceeds of
sales in any state or territory may be
temporarily used elsewhere for pc
Rod not exceeding ten years.
Under this bill the Secretary Of the
Interior has discretionary power to
spend the entire fund, aggregating at
present nearly three million dollars
annually, in Nevada or any other
state or territory subject to the con-
aition mat fifty-one per cent thereof
shall within ten years be paid back tor
the benefit of the State or territory
from which it is derived, provided
such State or territory has practic
able and feasible projects.
The widest discretion was purposely
given to the Secretary of the interior
| IN order that the funds derived from
| sales of public lands without regard
| to State lines might be expende,
where irrigation development SHOULD
be most NEEDED.

ArTough Character

Last evening q man by the name of

ley ran amuck and while he did not
kill off any peaceable Carsonites he
made it pretty lively for the time.
His wife has been employed by Eli
oakley and Weir called upon her.
He was in a drunken condition and
upon entering the house began abus
ing his wife. Barley ordered him
QUE of the house, but instead of leav-
ing he began to abuse him and then
followed an assault which looked bad
for Eli for a time. Weir had him
down anu was administering terri

ated man turned on her and knocked
her down. Mrs. Cromwell then lent
assistance and in turn was knocked
down. and received a number of in

feet and with the combined efforts of
the household Weir was driven from
the premises. He was scoc :. r ia

The Man For Governor

The Eureka Sentinel draws a pen
picture of the man it is willing to SUI
port for Governor. 1t requires it's
euebnatorial candidate to be va broad
minded man; a man of education, cul-
ture and refinement; sterling honesty
and broad guage, and as true as the
stars, to principle and justice" He
should also be liable to preside oyer
public functions, man of self-conf-
dence and self-poise, genial and ur-
bane.
In addition to this he should be a
man of character, standing and res
pect, ability with judgment, execu'
tive ability, ripe experience with good
business habits and honest, competent
and trustworthy, and able at all times
to make more money at his regular
business than the State would pay
him. The Lieutenant Governor should
also have the same qualifications.
The Appeal thinks that is such 6
man can be found in the State of Ne
vada, he is more fitted for Paradise
than politics.
Even if such an angel would consent
to run it is asking too much to eX
pect to find another man equally good
Under these circumstances might i
not be good idea to not exact quite
such high standard of excellence TO
the Lieutenant Governor.

Don't Want the Home

Now that the Orphans Home di-
rectors have definitely decided to re-
build the structure burned on the 4th
of July, it might be not inopportune
to state that a movement was attempt
ed by few people here to have the
Home brought to Reno. 1t was ar
gued that the cost of sustaining the
Home would be less here on account
Of the many enterprises in which the
children could find employment and
be partially self-sustaining.
The little clique that was about to
move in the matter figured also that
Reno would have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the institution inasmuch as
two of the three members Of the board
are Renoites and the third is not a
resident of Carson
Happily, the word is used advised
ly, the scheme came to naught The
Journal declined to Join i'll the propo-
sition, Reno can advance without
| pulling Carson down Che city can
! progress by adding industries and
sources of income that are not now

Another and very potent reason
why no definite action was taken was
the doubt whether the insurance mon
ey, which is available could be used
! to build the institution in another
town without legislative action.
At all events Reno didn't want the
Orphans Home, and it wasn't a case
of sour grapes either.-J urEal.
