event in the history of the state.
John Sparks. is a native Of Missis-
sippi He was born August 81, 1913, is
a self-made man, as the expression
goes, and is one Of Neyada's wealth
lest and most influential and respected
citizens. He came 10 this State some
twenty-three years ago and has been
identified with all its leading indus
tries. While Governor Sparks is to-
day spoken of as mining man he has
never forgotten his first love- stock
raising and, as a friend of his re-
marked recently, he will appreciate
compliment paid to the fine thorough
bred stock on his ranch more than any
courtesy that could be extended TO
him as Governor.
Governor Sparks is the ninth Gov
ernor of the State of Nevada and the
fourth Democrat who has been elected
TO that Office He is an unassuming
man and while at the head Of the State
affairs will conduct them in a manner
complimentary to himself and to the
people who elected him.-Journal.

recommended that the legislators from
said county attempt to throw the First
Judicial District, composed of Esmer-
aida, Douglas, Lyon, Ormsby and
Storey, into one county, in order to
reduce the tax rate of Storey. Ii is
very likely that the Legislators of the
other counties named will vote against
1t, in order to avoid part of the tax
rate of Storey. OF course, a bill could
be, drawn to fairly equalize taxation.
and the reduced expenses would doubt
Tess tend to actually reduce taxation

When the German and English war
ships bon1barded the little Nenezuelz n
forts, the Republican press rushed 20
assure their readers that the Monroe
doctrine was in no danger, and the
United States Consul at Caracas also
telegraphed his assurances % the sane
effect. The very anxiety displayed 20
assure the people of the United States
danger tends 10 prove that the self
constituted insurers Of the doctrine
knew or believed il was in danger.
The Monroe doctrine forbids any inter
ference by European powers in South
America Our sister Republics IN
the south are borrowers of money, and
English. German, French and other
peoples are lenders. Venezuela had
borrowed largely from French, Ger
man and English money lenders, and
they wanted their money. The Mon
roe doctrine does not forbid a foreign
nation from collecting their debts. but
it does forbid them from selling
port, or a customs house for the pur-
pose of collecting their debt. This be-
ing the case, the United States were
called upon to insure the payment Of
Venezuela's debt, being the only coun-
try that could, under the Monroe doc
trine, seize upon the revenues OF Ven
ezaela, BY farming them out, or adopt
ing means adequate TO force payment
1t will thus be seen that the demand
that the United States insure the pay
ment of the debt was not unfair. be-
cause why should the United states
claim that the Monroe doctrine did
not forbid the collection Of debts. and
at the same time claim that il forbade
the adoption of sufficient means % col
lect the debit II seems plainly evident
that if the Monroe doctrine must be
upheld that the United States must in
sure the payment of the debts of the
southern Republics, because it is GER
tainly unfair to claim that the Monroe
doctrine does not forbid the collect on
of debts, but only forbids attachment
and levy under execution. President
Roosevelt was called upon to arbitrate
between the creditors and Venezuela.
not only because of the high respect
in which he may be held. nor because
of the strength of the United States,
but because the creditors claim it is
the duty of the United States to see to
1t that the bills are paid if they are
correct, or TO call the Monroe doctrine
watch dog of. Mr.. Roosevelt very
cleverly suggested that it was matter
for the Hague international arbitra-
ton authorities to look into, and the
creditors are going to act under the
suggestion, but they are doing SO very
sullenly. | consider it safe to say
now that whatever sum may be
awarded, if Venezuela does not pay it
promptly, or make sufficient provision
for prompt aud safe payment, that a
demand viii be made upon the United
States TO either insure that debt, or
take hold of the revenues of Venezuela
for the benefit of the creditors, or cali
off the Monroe doctrine. Things GER
tainly look as though there were
breakers ahead of Uncle sans bark,
since he began dipping his fingers in
foreign matters.
