Visitors Have Gone Home

The delegation of debaters, football
players and their friends from Elko
returned to their home on No. s this
afternoon. They were well entertain
ed while here. and were loud in their
praises of the hospitality shown them.
This is as it should be. for the boys
who came over from Elko are as gen.
tlemanly a crowd OF genuine good fell
lows as winnemucca will ever have
the pleasure of entertaining.
Prof. E. E. Caine. principal Of the
Elko high school. who accompanied
them is decidedly popular with his
boys. of whom he is very proud. Much
of the credit for their proficiency Is
due to his training and participation
in their practices, and the man who
had word of criticism of Prof. Caine
to offer would doubteless soon find
himself quickly surrounded by the
entire football team, with that l7b-
pound 15-year-old preparing to make
rush.
The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1903-12-08

cision that followed the announcement
os the decision was something that the
winners of the debate should and
doubtless will remember all their lives.
The applause was deafening; cheers
and yells fairly shook the building, and
when the three girls who had won the
victory appeared on the stage waving
the colors of the school on canes and
calling for cheers for the high school,
its teachers, and lastly for Elko, the
enthusiasm knew no bounds. In each
case the three cheers were forthcom-
ing with will, and then there was q
rush forward to extend congratulations
to the winners and express the appre-
clation of their many friends for the
efforts that had resulted in so splen-
did victory. The seats in the hall
were then cleared away, and until
o'clock the young men of Elko were
entertained by tn Winnemucca girls
and boys in social and greatly en-
joyed dance.
The Silver State sincerely regrets
that lack of space forbids a full re-
view of the addresses of each contest
ant on both sides of the debate. The
fact that Elko lost should not be taken
to mean that the boys did not put up
a good strong fight. or make a praise
worthy effort to win the debate; they
die well, and their efforts were highly
creditable. The result showed, how
ever, that their research had not for
tilted their position as we'll as it
should he.ve been, while their address
and delivery were unanimously con-
ceded to be greatly inferior to that of
tho Winnemucca girls. We maintain,
as we always have. that in all that is
good-and this in spite of the fact
that we lost the football game to Elko
Winnemucca affords the best.

MERCHANT MARINE

A majority of our people desire that
steps be taken in the interests of Am
erican shipping, so that we may once
more resume our former position in the
ocean carrying trade. But hitherto
the differences of opinion as to the
proper method of reaching this end
have been so wide that it has proved
impossible to secure the adoption or
any particular scheme. Having in
view these facts, l recommended that
the congress direct the secretary of
the navy, the postmaster general and
the secretary of commerce and labor,
associated with such a representation
from the senate and house of represen-
atives as the congress in it's wisdom
may designate, to serve as a commits
sion for the purpose of investigating
and reporting to the congress at its
next session what legislation is desir-
able or necessary for the development
of the Amrican merchant marine, and
American commerce, and incidentally
of a national ocean mail service of
adequate auxiliary naval cruisers and
naval reserves.

NEEDS OF FINANCIAL SITUATION
The integrity of our currency is be.
yond question, and under present con-
ditions it would be unwise and unnec-
essary to attempt a reconstruction OF
our entire monetary system. The same
liberty should be granted the secre-
tary of the treasury to. deposit customs
receipts as is granted him in the de-
posit of receipts from other sources.
In my message of December 2, 1902, I
called attention to certain needs of the
financial situation, and again ask the
consideration of the congress for these
questions.
During the last session of the con-
gress, at the suggestion of joint note
from the Republic of Mexico and the
imperial government of China, and in
harmony with an act of the congress
appropriating $4,000 to pay the ex-
pehses thereof, a commission was ap-
pointed to confer with the principal
European countries in the hope that
some plan might be devised whereby
a fAed rate of cx cl ange could be as
sureG between the gold standard couE-
tries and the silver standard countries.
This commission has filed it's prelmin-
airy report. which has been made puo-
mission be continued and that a sun,
OF money be appropriated sufficient
to pay the expenses of it's future la-

IMMIGRATION.

We can not have too much immigra-
tion of the right kind, and we should
have none at all of the wrong kind
The need is to devise some system by
which undesirable immigrants shall be
kept out entirely, while desirable i'm
migrants are properly distributed
throughout the country.
At present some districts which need
immigrants have none; and in others,
where the populations is already con-
gested, immigrants come in such num-
bers as to depress the conditions of life
70, those already there. During the
last two years the immigration SER
vice has been greatly improved, and
the corruption and inefficiency which
formerly obtained there has been era
dicated.
NATURALIZATION FRAUDS.
The special investigation of the sub
ject of naturalization under the direc-
ton of the attorney general, and the
consequent prosecutions, reveal con-
dtion of affairs calling for the immed-
late attention of the congress. For
geries and perjuries of shameless and
flagrant character have been perpe-
trated, not only in the dense centers
of population, but throughout the coun
try; and it is established beyond doubt
that very many so-called citizens of
the United States have no title what
ever to that right, and are asserting
and enjoying the benefits of the same
through the grossest frauds. 1t is
never to be forgotten that citizenship
is, to quote the words recently used
by the supreme court of the United
States, an "inestimable heritage,
whether it proceeds from birth within
the country or is obtained by natural
ization; and we poison the sources of
our national character and strength
at the fountain if the privilege is
claimed and exercised without right,
and by means of fraud and corruption.
The body polite can not be sound
and healthy if many of its constituent
members claim their standing through
the prostitution of the high right and
calling of citizenship. 1t should mean
something to become a citizen of the
limited States; and in the process no
loop hole whatever should be left open
to fraud.

The first appearance here was also
farewell. OF all the mediocre, unin-
teresting, bum performances on the
road this is entitled to a premium.
II Cora Van Tassel has reputation
as a coincidence it must have been
the product Of q vivid Imagination on
the part Of her press agent. In "The
Volunteer" she has the lead-she's
the star-and she is entitled to her
part for she is easily the worst Of the
bunch. Her conception and attempt
ed portrayal Of the character Of Pansy
Chadburn, the bright, jolly and inno-
cent Southern girl, is something awful
and would be heartrendering il it
wasn't so bad as to be actually funny.
The other members OF the troupe are
likewise, il not more SO. The COM
pany is en- route to Denver-that city
has our sympathy. There was one
consolation in last nights perform
ance-the attendance was small, and
it was smaller when the show ended
than when it started.
