THE SCHOOL HOUSE,
Public Sentiment Seems to Favor the
Project.

The vote on the problem of building
a new school house for this city Will |
be considered Monday. The PROPOSE |
ton has been talked over very freely !
among the people during the past |
month, and from what can be learn |
ed along the street, the sentiment is
almost unanimous in favor Of voting |
for the new school house.
A number of citizens were congre- !
gated yesterday and the subject vas
given d pretty thorough airing. Of
the dozen men who participated IN
the discussion, not one was against it.
but the problem of where to build
was deeply considered. One or two
were of the opinion that in case q new
house was built, it should be on lot
closer to the center Of town. while
the majority favored the old cite.
The fact that the county owns gen
erous piece of land where the Old
school stands. seems to be sufficient.
1t is close enough fer a town the size
of Carson. and no child has TO walk
over a half mile to reach its doors.
This, in any other section would lie
considered a close place to the homes,
and it is about as healthy a spot as
can be found, as the drainage is good,
and the school sets above the valley
below. -
There is no question but that this
county can assume debt Of the size
that will be needed for the erecting of
a substantial school. 1t is a simple
Lroblem of lettering tie general con-
dit'Cp of affairs for coE L -. that
intends to be in business :o- al! time
t c.ne. The outlook for his rs:tlc.
ular section IS tiattering and he need
of the improved condition is apparent
to all who have given the matter any
CO.. sderation.
Carson has struggled along with a
school that is not only disgrace, but
in a measure is unsafe. as has been

storms. Carsons school children have
made records that are worthy of the
high school, and number Of outside
people come here every year to- take
advantage of the good schooling that
is given the children.
Some argue that the old school

enough, but question of better con
dition and modern improvements. The
wear Of the old building shows for it.
self, and anyone who will look OVIl
the old rickety wooden edifce will con
clude that a better and safer BUILDING
is what is needed for the young folks
that are attending school and thoS.
who are growing to occupy the desks
The Appeal believes that the move
ment should carry to the last vote
and that not vote should be recordc+
against the project. As for the schoo
trustees who are now occupying tn;
position and who have given thei
time and attention without pay, the.
should at least be honored with Tn
trust that has been carried out s
faithfully. The old board should b
reelected and will, as no opposition
is placed against them, but the bi
question to be settled is the vote O

ENDS in A ROW.
Tie Same OLE Story Happens at the
Field Day Exercises.

The fourth annual field day of tins
academic League CT Nevada occurree
at the University athletic field yester
cay afternoon and all Of the events
were called, but on account Of mis-
understanding among some of the diff
farent professors throughout tho State
the meet will take place again this
morning and the contest will be de-
{ ded. When the different high school
teams appeared on the field to par
t'cjpate in the events. Professor Howe
q Carson and Professor Cain CT Elko
protested against the admission Of
Keith Brandon Of the Reno high school
10 the events. The judges Of the das-
refused to debar Brandon from taking
part in the events and Professor Cain
would not allow the athletes from his
scn0ol 10 enter. Professor Howe Of
Carson then called the students If
! the Carson schools from the field
| and they were followed by the attn
! i-seS OF Inc virginia anu w duSWbIth
schools The Yerington school was
the only one that remained in the
! contest with the exception of the Reno
high school.
! The reasons the professors gave for
! protesting the name Of Brandon was
that he had quit the Reno school this
year and had entered it only a few
days before the field day in order
shat he might enter in the contests
After the contest was over and Reno
had won q victory in every event eX
cept the mile run. the matter was re
ferred to the Academic Field Dag
Committee, which decided to have the
struggle take place again today ant
TO allow Brandon to take part. The
matter will then be decided later OF
whether he is eligible or not and "
not his victories Will be taken from
the Reno scOro.-JOuTnal.

will hasten the representatives of
that huge monopoly to put their veto
on congressional action. So of the
telegraph. And when it m to a
parcels post there is your Uncle
Thomas Platt, president of the
United States Express Company and
"boss" of the controlling party in
New York, with his friend and col
league, Chauncey M. Depew, pre-
pared to dynamite the whole scheme
rather than that special privilege
should be affected. And on the other
hand the country merchant, who
fears the mail-order houses of the
metropolis, and declares that, if the
farmer could buy in the cities and
get a carrying rate such as the gov
eminent would give him, the rural
store would go by the board; so he
lends his influence to the opposition.
Thus do special interests stand in
the way of the general welfare. The
people of the United States ought to
have everything in their own hands
that belongs to the public, and they
should begin right now by adding to
the postal service every convenience
that can be attached to it. The
farmer is one of the men most di-
rectly interested, and he should inn
press his views upon his member of
Congress in such a way as to insure
action-or the members retirement
to private life. "The cure for the
evils of democracy is more democ-
racy," says DIR. Lyman Abbott. That
is apropos here, for there are many
ills in the postal service to-day that
would be cured if the public were
brought into closer touch and inter
est with it by extending its useful
ness in all proper ways.-Chicago

is held by the American people is In
part responsible for the fact that we
have permitted public utilities to be
made the sport of private monopo-
lists. The only important public util-
ity that is completely in the hands of
the national government is the postal
system, and the same foolish fear, en-
couraged by the false statements and
half-truths of private interests, keeps
us from receiving anything like the
benefits we should from our postal
system. This is not a matter of
opinion, but of demonstration; for
in Great Britain and other European
countries the postal service is as
much more complete than our own as
our present service is better now
than it was in the days of the stage
coach.
Nowhere else is socialism more Sc
verely frowned upon than in Great
Britain; yet over there the postal
service includes a parcels post, the
telephone, the telegraph, the savings
bank, insurance annuity, money or
der, and other lines of business, and
it is the universal verdict that all are
well conducted and at the minimum
of expense.
An incident that illustrates the
vast difference between our own ad-
vantages and those enjoyed by our
British friends is told by James L..
Cowles, secretary of the Postal
Progress league of New York. MI.
Cowles recently mailed a suit case,
weighing eleven pounds three ounces
at a New York sub-station, paying 2
cents an ounce upon it as frst-class
matter, or 1888. A 1O-cent special
delivery stamp was added. In less
than six hours it was delivered to it's
address in New Haven, which is said
to be somewhat better time than is
usually made by express companies
for this distance. Writes Mr..
Cowles: "Switzerland would have
carried the same case for s cents,
Germany for less than 10 cents,
England for 25 cents, and for Is
cents the English postofice would
have carried this suit case from any
station in the British Isles to any
station in New Zealand. For the
same postage paid for transportation
to New Haven our own postoffice
would take it to the furthest home on
the most remote rural route in Cali
fornia, to the Philippines or Sand
wish Islands, and after the LIST of
June to Shanghai, China. And it
ought to be done for a much smaller
Sum. For a single cen will pay the
cost to-day of the transport of a
bushel of wheat between the two
furthest railroad terminals on our
Atlantic and our Pacific coasts"
Why do not we in this land of the
free enjoy such privileges at.such low
cost? The dread specter of social
