CELEBRATING COMPILE
TION OF HOME

The Silver State acknowledges with
thanks tickets to the grand opening
ball to be given Friday evening by
the Reno Wheelmen's Club. The oc-
casion is the house warming of their
new $4,000 home.
No organization in Nevada is or
ever has been the peer of the R. W.
C. Its four hundred members are as
a unit in the cause of upbuilding clean
athletic sport in this State.
In bicycle riding they are especially
prominent, having lost but one relay
race in the thirteen they have COM
peted in during the past three years.

VAGARIES OF
THE CLIMATE
Lex Talionis of Nature is Sparinq
The Weak and Destroy
ing the Strong

1t is a fact that is little known and
one that is frequently disputed, but
nevertheless, true, that smaller ami
mails are withstanding the intense
cold better than the larger ones that
prey upon them.
Mr.. Jack Rabbit and Miss Nancy
Cottontail are snug and comfortable
at present, while Brer Coyote and his
Majesty, the Mountain Lion, are dead,
dying or in comatose condition.
Dick Glanville, who is in from
Clear Creek Canyon, twenty miles
south of town, says he noticed two
stiff, stark, starved lions with their
toes up.
Coyotes are also dying out in that
country and those that continue to ex-
ist are thin and NANCY.
The thick coated sheep and the cat
tie, who are able to forage, are coming
out all right.
But the hares and rabbits are faring
best of ALL They skip along over the
crust, nibbling here and devouring
there, paying no attention to their
big natural enemies who sink into
the snow and are unable to make pro-
gress.

WILL ESTABLISH A
SANiTARIUM HERE

R. F. Hoy informs this paper that
he has received the contract to build a
two story, fifteen. room building for
Miss Inez Laveago, that will be used
as a sanitarium.
The building will be modern in
every particular and the many large
windows will ensure plenty of sun
light
The heating apparatus will permit
of a uniform temperature throughout
the building.
Construction work will begin shortly
and it is hoped to open the institu-
ton by the last of June.
There will be a resident and several
consulting physicians. Miss Laveago
is herself a trained nurse and she will

Nevada's Opportunity

The colonist rates which went into
effect on the fifteenth instant should
be the means of bringing many thous-
sands of homeseekers to Nevada. By
a recently announced extension they
will remain in force over the South
ern Pacific lines until June 18th, a
period of four months They are $50
from New York, $33 from Chicago,
$25 from Kansas City and Omaha, and
from other points proportionately low.
E. o. Mccormack, Passenger Traf-
fic Manager of the Southern Pacific
company, is entitled to credit for Sc
curing these rates for Nevada, against
the opposition of many Eastern roads.
His liberal policy in the matter is GER
tain to promote a large volume of
travel to this State ruring the coming
four months. Winnemucca and Ne
vsda generally should make active
efforts to secure a fair share of the
newcomers as permanent residents.

SCHOOL ENDOWuEyTS

Il lew days ago we printed q brief item an
nouncing that certain seminary in New-Eno,.
land had secured an endowment fund It was
fund OF only $4,000, but it was thought suf-
nclent to serve the desired purpose of enlarg-
ing and strengthening the school The item was
brief and incOnspicuous one not at all com
parable with many articles in which gifts to
great colleges and universities have been nro
claimed Yet it was peculiarly suggestive. and
the suggestions which it provoked should prove
profitable to the cause of secondary education
There are probably few ways in which wealth
could be so advantageOusly applied to educa-
uohaI purposes as in the endowment of sec
ondary scnools-seminaries academies. prepara-
tory schools, or whatever they may be called
These schools form a link of unsurpassed i'm
portance in the educational chain To many
of their students they are the scene of final
instruction. They finish such academic educa-
ton as the students are TO receive To others
they give preparation for college and univer-
sity. Evidently it is Of high importance that
the instruction given to each class should be
OF the best quality In some such schools this
is the case. There are such schools which have
large endowments, or which charge high enough
fees to provide themselves with ample incomes
They can afford to employ the best teaching tai
ent and to hold it permanently in their facul-
ties. But such schools are after ALL compare
lively few. most of them are filled to reple-
tion engagements sometimes being made years
in advance Of actual entry, and it is evident
that they cannot serve the needs Of all the
land. The majority of secondary students are
compelled TO attend Institutions which have no
endowments, which charge moderate fees and
which are, in consequence, compelled to get on
as best they can with poorly paid faculties and
faculties in which the highest grade Of eff
cheney is not to be found, or in which it cannot
long be retained.
1t will not do to say that boarding schools
are out of date supplanted by the public high
schools The high school system has been great
ly developed in recent years. and it is doing
excellent work. 1t will always fill an impor-
tant place in the school system. But for OBJ
vious reasons a large proportion of boys and
girls cannot attend high schools. and a large
proportion of parents decidedly prefer to send
their children to boarding schools The latter
viii doubtless, therefore, also continue to fill an
important educational place. But the compet-
tion Of the public high school has drawn away
has thus made it all the more desirable even
necessary, for the latter TO have endowments
1t may be that all the millions which have
been poured into the treasures Of colleges and
universities have been we'll and proftably given
But il may we'll be believed, also, that other
millions might every bit as proftably be given
TO the seminaries, which are so important as

ECLIPSE OF THE WALKING DELEGATE.
At last it looks as if the building trades set
tlement would be carried into effect and the
senseless tie-up which has inflicted immense
loss upon both employers and employees be
brought to a close. One after another the
unions, in spite of the opposition of their walk
ing delegates, are voting for the acceptance
of the plan, until now many of the walking
delegates themselves. making virtue of ne
cessity are joining hands with the wOrkmen
who would otherwise completely overthrow
them. There is more talk on the part of
the walking delegates of expelling from the
Board Of Building Trades the unions that dared
to vote for the plan. The tail is beginning to
learn that IL does not wag the dog. The dog is
beginning to learn it, too.
That is one of the most satisfactory features
of the situation For years the great body of
honest and industrious union workers of this
city have been letting themselves be mlsused
by walking delegates. Much complaint has been
heard about the tyranny of the walking dele
gate in his dealings with employers He
has often made it practically impossible for
builders to carry on their business. He has
however, been more of an enemy to labor than
to capital. There is good reason to believe
that he has frequently sold out his compan-
ions to their employers, and has used his power
not TO secure concessions really advantageous
to them, but to promote his own interests The
labor unionists are wise who curtail the pow
ers of these despotic extortioners and become
themselves the judges of their own conditions
of labor. Under the new plan the walking
delegate will have much less to say than for
merly
The unions are to have direct relations with
the employers, and the builders who join in
the agreement recognize the unions and en-
poy only union men as far as the unions fur
nish proper men. On the other hand the ar
rangement for arbitration, if lived up to, pre-
cludes the arbitrary strikes which have so in
terfered with business. This arrangement is
honorable to both parties, and generally benefi-
ciaL Union labor, by proceeding on a basis of
reason and common sense and freeing itself
from the domination of mischief making ad-
venturers,. can command the respect of the
community and do much to improve the condi-
tions of labor

INTERNATIONAL EPISODES.

Only few months ago the British and Ger
man fleets We're cooperating In a belligerent
manner in South American waters, and there
were those who believed the United States was
not only watching them, but was warning them
not TO go too far, so that there was they
feared danger that this country would pres
entity be involved in war with the two great
European powers which are its closest kin. The
last few days have seen an American fleet on
parade in British and German waters, and the
British King and the German Emperor wing
with each other in paying it friendly atten-
tons and in saying graceful and amiable things
about the United States Again it was not long
ago that France was raging against "Peride
Albion" and England was wondering how
much longer it could endure the Gallo policy
OF pin pr1cks, while the Franco Russian aIli-
ance and the hobnobbing between President
and Gar We're regarded as pOrtending combined
hostility TO the British Empire Yet the week
has seen the French President the honored
and loudly acclaimed guest of Great Britain.
and King and President talking and writing
ABOUT lasting approachment between the two
countries.
Numerous other episodes Of similar sugges-
uon might easily be cited They are worthy of
consideration. We do not say the doings of the
last few days have established inyioIabIe and
eternal friendship between the United States
and Great Britain and Germany, or between
Great Britain and France. But. then. neither
does an occasional bit of diplomatic sparring
indicate traditional and implacable enmitv or
porIend immediate war. That is the lesson II
would be an error TO Overrate these interna-
uohai amenities. 1t would be equally an error
10 oVerrate international controversies and bick
erlngs. Friendly words are just as likely to be
sincere as unfriendly ones, and episodes that
make for cordial relationships are no less influ-
entail than those which engender antaponis,ns

coL0NN4 AND ORSINI.

There is engaging flavor of antiquity in
the current bit of news that the old feud be-
tween the Colonna and Orsini families Is play
ing part in the speculatons and mtrigues over
the selection of a successor to Leo NH. Very
far away seem the days of Cola di Rienz of
the Lord of Wiblingen, and the ambitious
nephew of Bavarian Welt. Romance and poetry
and music and painting, as well as more matter
offact history, have for centuries celebrated the
great strife which for four centuries great
ly troubled Rome and Italy. There will be no
more open war of Ghibelline and Guelph. But
the two great houses of Roman mobiles which
espoused the respective sides are still puissant,
and still antagonstic each to each, so that the
feud of nearly eight centuries ago may have its
influence upon the doings of our day.
Each of the two houses has made its mark
on the record Of the Papacy, and each has been
loyal to the Holy See There have been two
Orsini Popes-members of the family-besides
an unknown number more less under the
Orsini influence. The two were Nicholas III, in
1877, and Benedict XIII, in 1924. The house of
Colonna has furnished only one occupant of
st. Peters chair, but he was one of the great
est of all the long line. He was Otho Colonna
who in 1417 became Martin V, and who healed
the dissensions in the Church, restored the glo-
rieS of Rome, advanced the cause of learning
and gave peace to all Europe.
The successor of Leo XIII will not be mem
ber of either of these ilustrious families. 1t
may be, however, that the influence of one of
them will turn the scale in the election In
any case, the appearance of a Colonna and an
Orsini as supporters of the Pope at his
coronation will be another striking reminder of
the survival of old names, old rivaries and old
customs, as well as of the antiquity and the APP
parent immutability of the Roman Church
itself
