Vests Speech on Death.

Twenty years ago in eulogy over
the grave of a departed friend at
Sedalia, Senator Vest delivered these
sentiments on death:
every death is a tragedy. We
stand by the open grave, mutter few
prayers and rush back to the struggle
and meaness of life. A few loyal and
loving hearts may throb with agony,
but time dulls the pain-obscures the
memory, until the cold, pulseless
marble at last alone keeps watch
above the dead.
"Every death is a tragedy, because
it ends life's history, full of aspira-
tons, love hate, temptation and suf-
fering. Poor judges are we of each
other! And the truth will never be
known or justice be done, until the
Great Chancellor shall judge the
secret intents of each heart. Then
the Pharisees of this world, who
thank God they are not like yonder
publican and who have been follow
ed to their last resting place with all
the pageantry of woe viii be thrust
aside, spotted like toads with pretense
of hypocrisy, whilst many despised
and condemned by men will be found
to have been martyrs and heroes until
their bruised and broken hearts
ceased to beat

right to vote to intelligent citizens:
1.-THE people demand that the State

because of their intelligence, their

are best fitted to properly, patriotically
and wisely exercise the high duties of
citizenship.
"This result can only be attained by
an amendment to the Constitution, fix
ing high standard of qualifications for

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT.
Nevada Observer.

1t is not the mission of the Nevada
Observer to reform the world-not even
Nevada. But it is its mission to try
and correct some things. Nevada has
a statute against the selling of intoxi-
cants to minors. and another section to
prevent minors from visiting saloons
and gambling houses. The law reads
as follows:
Every person who shall sell or give
to any person under the age of twenty
one years, or to any person known to be
an imbecile, any intoxicating drink or
drinks, or who shall employ a minor as
barkeeper, and any minor who shall
falsely represent himself to be twenty
one years of age in order to OBJ
tain such intoxicating drink or
drinks, is guilty of a misdemeanor,
and shall be punished by a fine
Of not less than 500 nor more than
$500, or imprisonment in the county
Jail not less than 80 days, nor more
than six months, or by both such fine
and Imprisonment"
There is another law on page 81 of
the Statutes of 1908 providing for the
revoking by any Board of County Com
missioners or municipal authorities any
license where the public health or pub
lie morals are in any way violated.
1t shall be the mission of this paper
to see that the laws are enforced and
no longer winked at as they have been
in the past. The Observer has no fight
to make where the laws are not ig-
nored, but we will give notice right
here and now that the law shall be no
longer ignored if in our power to see it
enforced. A walk down Commercial
Row on New Years Day would con-
vince any loving parent that it is time
to act, and act vigorously.
The Observer will make it part of
its business from this time ON to see
that complaint is lodged against any
saloon or gambling house keeper violat-
ing any section of this law. We do not
propose to take any undue advantage Of
anybody. but this notice is warning.
No matter who it is that is guilty of an
infraction of the law, he will be pun
ished by fine and Imprisonment, or by
having his license revoked. if the OBJ
server can have it done. "a word to
the wise is sufficient"

The new mill at Tonopah, known as
the Leasers' mill, has been turned over
by the builders to the Tonopah Milling
and Reduction Company, which is COM
posed of many of the leasers and promi-
nent mining men of Tonopah.
The mill cost $4,000 and is built
almost entirely of steel and cement.
The building is galvanized iron and the
ore bins are cement.
1t has ten stamps, two Huntingtons,
three centrifugal separators, eight pans
and two settlers. The feed for both ore
and chemicals is automatic. There are
two steam engines. one being of small
capacity for lighting and compressed
air.
The main engine is DIESEL oil of
l25 horse power. 1t takes oil direct from
the tank and converts its energy into
power as cheaply as it can be furnished
in San Francisco with coal at s. per ton.
So running for twenty-four hours a
day, it is furnishing power at but little
more per horse power than is furnished
in Virginia by the Truckee River power
line. The extraction has risen from 80
per cent to 1914 per cent, very satis-

"If the s1s, 900, 900 made in manipulate
ing the Tonopah stock at Philadelphia
had been used in developing the mines
and the resources of Tonopah, the
camp to-day would be one of the great
est the country has ever known. The
main need of the town and the mines
was water. A railroad, of course, is
the requirement. The money made by
the stock manipulation in Philadelphia,
as I have said, would have insured the
building of these improvements"
