The reorganizers seem determined
to drive William j. Bryan out Of
the party. Indeed, several of their
principal organs have explicitly ex-
pressed this desire. They may sue
ce ed. Probably they will. But
whether they do or not, there are
thousands who believe in Bryan who
have already set themselves ever
lastingly against the reorganizers,
and will again vote the ticket so
long as the party is controlled by
this particular faction.
One of the admirable things about
the republican state convention was
the platform. 1t not only rings
with Americanism and republican
ism, but touches upon all the vital
points in way that shows con-
victions in the minds of those who
prepared it. 1t is brief enough but
not too-long enough but not too
long. 1t will be a good thing for
every republican to file away where
he can take it up at a moments
notice. Evansville Economist.

A Political Puzzle.

When the Nevada Observer was es-
tablished In Reno with three owners,

of the disturbed public 10y announcing
that it would eschew politics. 1t did 80
for an issue or two, but now it is dipping
its feet 10 the mu ddy pool, and here's the
way i: goes about it:
1.-THE Democrats of Nevada are still

Gratis is that they want all the Fusion y
We presume Editor Bragg tRepubli-
CAM wrote that. 1t couldn't have been
Editor Webster (Democrat).
"The Republicans, as usual, are
preaching harmony The way things
are shaping a good deal Of their cake

November"
The chances are that Editor Webster
(Democrat) penned the above gem of
truth. Although 1t may have been Ed
itor Rolf (Silver.)
Harmony has been the watchword
Of Washoe Republicans for the last ten
years. Harmony and defeat seem to
suit the majority better than fight aud
success.
The above sounds like Editor Rolf
(Silver). But possibly it scintlllated

portunity. 1t should run its editorial as

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL
DISTRICTS BARRED
Law Denies Them Right to Issue Re-
funding School Bonds

In an opinion given by P. A. Ewart,
assistant attorney general, at the re-
quest of the state superintendent of
public instruction, it is held that
boards of education of independent
school districts have no authority to
issue refunding school bonds. The
opinion was given to determine the
right of the school board of Adrian,
Mobiles county, to issue bonds in re-
fundment of bond issue now DUE
The attorney generals Office holds
that the law of 1893 as amended by
subsequent enactments is defective in
that while it was intended as general
legislation to cover all school districts,
it confines the refunding privilege to
trustees, and trustees are applicable
only to common school districts, the
authorities of independent districts be-
ing designated as boards of education:
is made fSf pf5SadEse f II aaaasafion and
hence the attorney general holds that
Adrian and other independent school
districts cannot refund under the law.
The issue must be met by a special
election. 1t is said that the defect in
the law will be remedied at the next
session of the legislature.

more effective service during the fight
