The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1905-07-25
MUST HAVE HURT HIM.

Monday evenings Reno Gazette is fu'l
of blood and thunder and reads as fol-
lows:
THE kind Y old gentleman who edits
the Winnemucca Silver State took a
sort of pessimistic rap a few days ago
at the strangers who are trying to buy
out Reno's electric pants and aso In
vest other money in the city en.er-
prises. The only comment that our ven
cradle brother saw fit to make On the
transaction was that the on.y result OF
it would be that the people of Reno
would have to pay al the traffic wou d
bear. Naturally we took exception to
such a misanthropic view. We believe
that outside capital. looking for invest
ments in the local fed, should lie given
a hearty welcome, instead of assuming
a hostile air toward them as soon as
they get off the train, and making snap
Judgment on their motives. The Silver
State editor, however, is a queer cuss,
and because we differed with him he
smites us with al the terrific fury Of
his masterful pen.
For instance, he tries to make him
self believe that the Gazette stood with
all the power at it's against
the Washoe Power and Development
Company and tried to handicap the en-
trance of the new ompan and to ham
per 1t In every way possible.
Now, that is a pretty severe indict-
ment-if 1t is true. Just by way of
diversion in these sweltering summer
days, we are going to make Brother
Bragg an offer. From reading his arti-
Giles at times we are convinced that some
steps ought to be taken toward estab-
ishing a home for superannuated-that's
putting it mildly-editors in this State.
We stand ready to endow such a .-ome,
at the rate of a dollar a word for every
word that appeared in his paper which
cou d be construed by any sensible, rea-
sonable person-naturally Brother bragg
would be barred from judgment-as be-
ing opposition to the Washoe Power ana
Development Company. AS judges we
shall be perfectly willing that the Pres
ident himse I and any of the directors
of the Washoe Company be selected to
pass upon this question and determine
whether or not it is up to- the Gazette
TO provide for a home which would mean
much to Brother Bragg. That seems
like a fair offer, especially when 1T is
taken into consideration that the days
are hot enough to strain ones equab e
temper without reading what the derby
party out In Winnemucca grinds out.
The editor of the Reno Gazette is evil
IDENTIFY displeased. Whether his dis
pleasure is accounted for by %disappoint-
ment in love, disappointment in his
journalistic work or whether the ex-
tremeIy hot weather we nave been hav~
ing of late has caused a sun stroke We
do not know. or care, for that matter.
AT all events he publishes two-thirds of
a column in which he says nothing but
that the Gazette will contribute to a
fund for a home for Brother Bragg
Alameda can make IS that Brother
Bragg Is old If we should rep'y by
writing as we feel we shou d say, and
without any fear of successful contra
diction, that the Gazette. under its pres
ent management, is neither one thing
nor the other. There is not a file of
the Gazette at command. In fact, 1t
never has said anything since Editor
Morgan has been astride the tripod
worth filing, but we presume that there
are files of that paper in the County
Recorders office in Reno, but life is too
short to look them up to reproduce any
of the articles from Mr.. Morgan's pen
Light Co. as against the Washoe Power
and Development Co. The people of
Reno, If any there be who read the ar
