A COMPARISON
Nevada's Legislature Compared
to Her Sister State and the
Others IN General.

1t is feelings of appreciation
that moves us to cali tue public
attention to tue irreproachable
uyauuer in which the tweuty-sec-
oud Legislature of Nevada is he
Iug conducted OF cnuVse the
corporations aud trusts have
their boodIers there to use their
utmost power In the eudeavov
to shape the la Tvs of tue state
IL a direction beneficial to cap
itaI. but so far theit efforts
have proited them absolutely
nothing.
When we take into considcra-
ton the mauv temptations that
are offered To legislators TO bet
ter their private conditions, and
then teltoid them display uoth-
ing hut honorable principles
pitted against the selfish inter
ests OF the trusts, IN order that
the welfare OF the people may
I've protected, it is then we feel
grati6ed with the general ac-
tons OF our present Legislature.
We have not read one bin which
has been introduced at the pres
eat session, that would enhance
the business operations of the
trusts.
Iu California an Investigation
committee has been appointed
for the purpose at exposing
bribery conspiracies existing III
the Legislature there. Ard, as
q result, Il dark cloud hangs
over a fey OF their heads. which,
it is doubtful ttev will he able
to dispeI, uuiess they are able to
hrile the Investigation com
mittee.
Not only i'll our sister state
Of California, docs this CORFU
rjou exist. but ia nearly all oil
the states. When these selfish
couspiracies are resurrected, an
udor Is emitted that is nauSeat-
to the toliowers ofgOod govern
meut.
TIL honesty aud Integrity of
the Nevada Leeistatu re is due to
hehouesty aud Integrity of her
people. An houest government
cauuot I've Iboru OF n dishonest
Ieopie Therefore. as long as
Nevada IN keep a majority of
OF people like her present p0pu-
latiou, she is IN ITO danger of
loSiug her title at the state
where honesty usClves aud vice
has to take to the sagebrush."
1t is also true thatouC Legisla-
ture has adopoed tStc pgiucipies
which are III vogue i'll ITO other

and prohibition they should
have, if such thing can be
made possible. The prohibitory
feature of the dispensary law is
now in effect IN Lancaster coun-
ty, or rather it is applicable to
this county, but to make it effec-
tive every law-abiding citizen
must do his duty. The blind
tiger, the most contemplate of
all law violators, must be pur-
sued with relentless vigilance.
The officers Of the law will be
powerless to keep the tiger down
without the active and moral
support of the people them
selves. And the people can best
lend their aid through the medi-
um, of an organization such as
that formed here tLis week. Let
every citizen in the county,
therefore, who believes in the
maintenance of law and order,
and especially the law against
the selling of liquor, attend the
mass meeting to be held at the
court house next Monday, for
the purpose of extending the
work of The Anti.L quor League
into every township and into
every community.

His Pipe Shot.
Unusual Experience Of a
Rock Hill Lad--M or a 1:
Don't Smoke at All.
Rock Hill Herald, Nov. 1st.


A Rock Hill boy had a rather
strange and unusual experience
the other day. He had just
finished his MONDAY meal and
seated himself on the porch of
his boarding house to enjoy his
pipe along with a friend. He
filed his pipe with tobacco he
carried loose in his coat pocket,
applied a match and after taking
several draws and as he held
the pipe in his hand there was a
loud report, bullet struck the
ceiling overhead and the pipe
was blown from the smokers
hand by the explosion. After
recovering from the shock the
young man turned to his TREND
and asked, care you shOtH" The
reply came, care you shotg" A
% calibre rifle cartridge which
The young man had carelessly
dropped in his pocket was put in
the pipe along with the tobacco
and the smoker was not aware
that he was smoking a combina
tion until the explosion occurred

BROUGHTON VS. DIXON.

Critics of "The Clansman"
are keeping the author, Tom
Dixon, in hot water. He does
not get through answering one
attack on his play before he has
to meet another. His latest
clash was in Atlanta this week
with DR.. Broughton, the we'll
known divine of that city.
According to the Atlanta
Journal, DR.. Broughton, in the
course of sermon preached by
him Tuesday night, said of
"Ihe Clausman" that it was
"born in hell and operated by
the devil Replying to DR.
Broughton, through the press,
Mr.. Dixon said:
81 was a Baptist minister for
twelve years and preached twice
every Sunday during that time.
The work | did as a preacher was
insignificant and unimportant
compared to the work | am now
doing as dramatist.
My play, The Clansman," is
the most important moral deed OF
my life. Before the throne OF the
Eternal God, | will stand beside
DR.. Broughton or any other Bap-
list preacher with that manuscript
in my hand, and say to the Judge
of the Earth, with reverence, with
JOY and pride: This is my work.
| did it.
81 am amazed beyond measure,
that man of DR.. Broughton's
common sense should have made
the ldiotic statement quoted. |
must think the reporter got it
mixed.
"Any preacher who today op-
poses his church members going
TO a decent. thoughtful play, is a
fool and stumbling block in the
way of intelligent religion
"Sensible folks pay no atten
ton to such rot. My friend should
repent and fall in line with the
progress of religion and culture ;"
Mr.. Dixon will no doubt hear
from DR.. Broughton again, for the
latter is fighter from Fighters
Vile.

Russia's Freedom
What the Cars Manifesto
Means--"A Constitutional
Monarcyh, with a Legisla-
ture Elected by the Peo-
pie"
The Atlanta journal.

The Atlanta journal.
The manifesto issued yesterday
by the "autocrat of all the Rus
sias"-
Leaves Russia without an auto
crat.
The czar directs his ministers
to carry out the following re.
forms:
"First-To extend 70 the
populi ii IN the in Nuts bic founda.
tions of liberty, based on the
real inviolaEility of person,
freedom of conscience. speech,
union and association.
"Second-WithouL suspending
the already ordered elections to
the state douma, to invite parti
cipation in the douma, so far as
the limited time before the con.
vocation Of the douma will per
mi, those classes of the popula-
ton now completely deprived OF
electoral rights, leaving the ulti
mate development OF the eleclor-
al right in general to the newly
established legislative order of
lhings.
"Third-to establish an un.
changeable rule that no law
! shall be enforceable without the
approval of the State Douma and
that it shall be possible for the
elected of the people to exercise
real participation in the supervi-
sion of the legality of the acts of
the authorities appointed by us.
In short, today finds Russia no
longer despotism but practical
iy constitutional monarchy,
with legislature elected by the
people.
Liberty has come to the Rus
sian masses after decades ut op-
preston and slavery.
But will they know how to
use it?
a constitutional assembly was
forced from the Burbons also.
But the taste of blood was in
the throats of the people. AL.
though they had obtained more
than they asked for in the be-
ginning, they asked for still more
and more. They plunged France
in anarchy.
Must Russia pass through the
same experienced Or is the
conservative element there strong
enough to curb the "reds" and
grasp and use the immense tangi-
Bile good which has already been
gained? Are The masses wise
enough to see that they have
gained all they can put to use
already, and strong enough to
iorego a revenge?
If the Russian people have the
strength and wisdom to take
what they have won and use it
wisely now, without further
bloodshed or rioting, it must be
said of them that they are one of
the greatest people the world
has ever known.
