In looking over the exchanges from other towns the size of Prescott, we see frequent references to the Board of Trade" and what it is doing. We asked prominent business man the other day why Prescott did not have a board of trade, and his reply was that there is nothing for it to do. Is it possible that Prescott has everything in the way of business enterprises that she needs and that live board of trade could do nothing at all to further the business interests or Prescott?

FACTS ABOUT BOOK OF JOB.
Grsat Epic Probably Not the Work of
 One Man.

The creation of the tribal epic was to some extent regarded as a tribal work, like the building of the tribal temple Believe, then, If you will that the prologue of Job and the ep- ilogue and the speech of Elihu are things inserted after the original work was composed. But do not SUD- pose that such insertions have that obvious and spurious character which would belong to any insertions in a modern individualistic book. Do not regard the insertions as you would re- gard a chapter in George Meredith which you afterwards found had not been written by George Meredith, or half scene in 1bsen which you found had been cunningly sneaked in by MT William Archer Remember that this old world, which made these old poems like the lliad and Job, always kept the tradition of what it was making. A man could almost leave a poem to his son to be finished as he would have finished it. just as man could leave field tp his son to be reaped as he would have reaped it. What is called Homeric unity may be a fact or not The Iliad may have been written by one man. It may have been written by . hundred men. But let us remember that there was more unity in those times in a hun dred men than there is unity now in one man. Then a city was like one man. Now one man is like a city in civil war.-G. K. Chesterton in Put nam's

Among the various pardons being granted by Acting Governor Pindall, that of the pistol toter is missing. The governor emphatically says that he is opposed to the pistol toter. We believe the majority of the people of the state are opposed to the practice. It is in nearly all cases absolutely unnecessary and nothing but a breeder of crime.

THE BRIDGE

What is the trouble with building the bridge across the Missouri River? The law is ready for the bridge, the people are ready and Clark county is waiting for an opportunity to do her part. What is the trouble with Nevada? Will it demoralize the scrip market? Ev- idently most of the scrip is in the hands of comparatively few people. Most of these people could be located and can be asked if they are opposed to the in- terests of the whole county merely to save few dollars in their own pockets. Or has the county scrip question any thing to do with it? It is certainly too little thing to retard the progress of bridge building There is nothing in the locality argument. It is quite frequently the case that bridge in one part of the country does not do the people in another part great deal of good and vice versa. We need the bridge. Whats the matter with Nevada?
