THIS One SOUNDS
LIKE A RECORD
JUDGE LANGAN WILL ALSO ES-
TABLISH ANOTHER WHEN
HE GETS A CHANCE.
From Wednesdays Daily.)

Judge Frank Langan of Esmeralda
county came oyer from Goldfield yes
terday afternoon.
He came in two bumps and a run
ming jump.
He was in a hurry to get here and
he got here in a hurry.
His honor intended coming by
train, but the honor of his company
was requested by Jim McQuillan and
Tommy Kendall, who were about to
skim the desert in Billy Douglass
new machine.
Would they beat the train? Such
a judicial joke! Get in, your honor.
Delightful" exclaimed the judge
after they were out a couple of miles.
open her up, Harry" suggested
Mr.. McQuillan.
Zim! AS Mr.. McQuillan spoke
they were entering Diamondfield. AS
he ceased talking they were leaving
Diamondfield.
His honor opened his mouth to
speak. The effort took his breath
away and he had to turn completely
around and looked backward to catch
it.
Bump! His honor was up in the
air, but the back of the tonneau was
high and he didn't go out.
"Wha-a-t mime is that?" he
gasped, trying to appear polite in
conversation.
That's the Quartzite," said Tom
my Kendall.
What THAR"
mo, that one two miles back; the
one that we were passing when you
spoke"
Goodness" shivered his honor,
holding on tight. "What noun
tain is that?" pointing about two
miles ahead.
Just then they caught up to the
mountain and passed it.
THAT was Gold Mountain" said
Jim McQuillan, and the judge had 10
strain his neck to rubber.
How far is Tonopah-bump-
ah!" his honor ventured to get out.
"Oh, not far" said Kendall.
Not in this car" said McQuillan.
I'D like to have yo-o-u fellows in
court.
Look out for your hat, judge;
we're going round a curve"
That's Mount Butler, judge" said
Kendall.
so that's Mount Butler" as the
car skinned down the hill, bumped,
and was at the top of another hill.
mo, that's Mount Oddie," said
McQuillan; that was Mount Butler
that Mr.. Kendall pointed out to you
behind there"
Another slide, another bump, then
along skim down the hill, and the
car slowed down and slid into
Brougher and paused in front of the
Bonanza office.
Il suppose that's the Goldfeld
Chronicle said the judge, getting
on to terra firma as fast as possible.
NO, that's the Reno Gazoo," said
Mr.. Kendall and Mr.. McQuillan in a
breath.
Well, l want to tell you fellows
one thing. l know where the court is
in Godfield, and if l ever get you
there again, I'll fine you both for ex-
ceeding the speed limit"
The run from Goldfeld to Tono-
pah was made in just fifty-two min
utes.
That sounds like the record.

ROOSEVELT TO APPOINT A DEM
OCIsAT.

1t is said President Roosevelt is
thinking of appointing Ex-Governor
Montague of Virginia to a $1,000 POSI-
ton in the customs office in New YORK,
to succeed Mr.. H. H. Somerville, who
vas appointed during the second Cieve-
land administration. The latter was
born in Virginia, though he was APP
pointed from Alabama. Of course, there
will be opposition from some rep1b:::-
cans to the appointment of a southern
democrat to a position in New YORK,
although it is to succeed another south
ern democrat. 1t is said that Mr.. Roose-
welt is a great admirer of Mr.. Mon.
tague.
We hope he will not be induced to
change his mind. If an outsider is TO
have the place we do not see Why it
should not be a southern man, and as
the Office is non-partisan the president
will show his fairness by giving it to
q democrat. If he does, however, lie
will be abused by many a republican
who would hate to see such a fat Job
go outside the party.

FRIDAY. -. FEBRUARY IS, 1907,
FRIDAY
NEW STATES FROM OLD ONES

Under the law of the land no state
a be divided into two states or de-
prived OF any of its territory except
with the consent of the people of the
state and of congress. There is one
exception. Texas was admitted to the
union with the provision that it could
be divided into several states by the
consent of the people, without securing
the approval Of congress. 1t is uue
that Virginia was divided during the
wal between the states and the state
of West Virginia formed from part Of
her territory without consent Of her
people, though the division was ratified
by a convention which pretended to
represent the people of the state. Such
mitted by the federal government at
any other time.
There is a proposition for making Il
new state now being discussed by those
interested-the people of Spokane and
of the eastern section of the state OF
Washington. They want to form a state
out of the eastern part of Washington;
the northeastern section of Oregon and
the northern part of Idaho. They gen.
erously offer to compensate the last
named state. by giving it the southeast
ern section of Oregon. This project
will end in talk. Oregon and Idaho
will not consent to be cut down in or
der to crafty the people of eastern
Washington.
Every now and then there is SON
talk of establishing a new state out of
parts of old ones, but it never gets be-
yond talk. 1t has been many a year
since such a thing was done.
AS to the division of Texas into five
~states-were that done the south would
secure eight more senators, but the
Texas people do not consider that An
inducement as compared to the greater
n Of keeping the state intact, where
by in years to come, when her vast
area is thickiy settled she will Weld a
tremendous power In the house OF rep
resentatives and in the electoral col
lege. They enjoy too much the look
ing forward to the great influence and
power their descendants will exercise
in the affairs Of the government as
members of one great state, to consent
to it's division into several smaller
ones.

OUTRAGEOUS ATTACK ON THE
PRESS.

The action of the house committee
on propositions and grievances In so
quietly and hastily making favorable
report on the bill 10 repeal what is
known as the London libel act locKs
like some members of tho legislature
are trying to take a very unfair ad-
vantage of the press of the state. Ii
this were not so why should that i'm
portant bill nave been introduced, re-
ferred to committee and reported back
with recommendation that it pass, all
in the course Of a single day, and with
out giving the newspaper MEN the ol'-
p~ortunity of a hearing before the COM
mittee?
It looks like the movers in this at
tack on the newspapers are aware Of
the weakness of their cause and wish
to rush the bill through the legislature
before the members have time to learn
of it's dement's.
We have no idea the bill will ever
become a law, but the effort Of certain
members of the legislature to hasten
it to completion shows their animosity
toward the press.
Were the bill to pass it would bone
fit that class of lawyers who make a
habit of stirring up litigation and of
taking damage suits on contingent fees.
1t is highly probable that those W
forces in the legislature-the cCEtin-
gent fee lawyer and the enemies Of the
newspapers-have united forces in an
effort to secure the repeal Of the
present law, which protects newspapers
against u~nwarranted and malicious
damage suits for libel.
The London law, which was enacted
in 1903, has always been considered ex-
tremely fair to the papers and to the
general public. 1t does not in b least
enlarge the privileges OF the Jews
papers nor curtail the rights of any
man to sue them for damages where
there has been any libel committed by
a paper. 1t simply protects the news
paper men from ~vexatious. and
malicious suits where the object is not
to refute libelous charges, but to make
money out of an unintentional mistake
on the part of an editor in the publ
cation of an article. The London bill
does not affect any mans rights when
he has been slandered in a newspaper
article. 1t simply provides that where
an editor has made an u~nintentional
error in q publication there shall be
no suit for damages If he will publish
a retraxit and an explanation. Nc up
right. honest man fears injury to his
reputation by the press under sucE q
law.
The attempt to repeal this law is an
outrageous attack on the press OF
the state and should be denounced
by every newspaper within her Dor
ders.
That bill should be entitled "An AZ:
for the Benefit of Shyster Lawyers ard
Disgruntled Politicians"
