Appeal He wants laws that will pro-
mote legitimate mining and weed out
wild cat mining. which has done Nevada
such harm of late. Mp Dignowity rel
marks:
at is not the mining men or prospect
ors of the west that swindle the tender
feet or laboring classes of the east-it is
the smart eastern guy himself that does
the handy work among those with whom
he is known. whereby he uses his person.
atty to sell the bogus stocks. He knows
nothing about what merit they repre-
sent. nor does he care so long as he
gets his big commission in cash and
stock.
The men Of money do not buy those
cheap stocks. They make no mistakes in
their selection of property or stocks. as
they employ able experts TO view the
mining property before buying. The poor
labOrfng classes cannot do this and il IS
because Of this that we are made to re-
alize that large percentage of the min
ing stocks SOLD in the east are purely
wildcats. Now. il behooves Nevada's
sOlons TO pass such laws as will check
these frauds, thereby preserving the fair

WHY GIRLS MARRY.

College professors and haccalauroat'

this summer discussing the influence
of education ON matrimony or TO pm
It briefly why women do or do moi
marry. There seems to Doe a doubt Ia
The minds OF many leaders whether

bliss, which less intellectual ancestors
travelled in years passed.
The experts who discussed the sub
Ject . from their. own observation
reached definite conclusions in each in
stance, but an the conclusions did NOT
;ally There is still a disagreement.
II has remained for a French pro-
iessor to make a more thorough can
Vass OF the subject than any other.
This seeker after facts sent out letters
TO three hundred young women In
France, America, Germany and Eng
land asking them If they wished 10
marry and why; If not, why not. the
result was illuminating.
All the French girls wished to be
married, because they wanted to have
a good time, TO escape the irksome re-
strictions Of girhood and to have Il
chaperon TO travel with. None desired
marriage for It's maternal responsible
ltiC,.
Seventy-fve American girls were
circularzed, sixty-eight of whom re-
sponded. Forty-siX Of them were dis
satisfied with their homes. for one rea-
son or other, and wanted to have
bones of their own, five were tired Of
living with their families, three want
cd to travel, two wanted to be loved
and to love and one wanted baby,
while the replies from England showed
practically the same motives.
OF seventy-five German girls, all but
three replied. Twenty-eight wanted 70
have their own homes, seven wanted
to travel, five wanted greater freedom.
six wanted to amuse themselves, and
two wanted babies.
The conclusion drawn from this
French census of matrimony was dis
appointing to It's author. While he ex-
pected that the French girls would. de-
sire marriage for selfish reasons, he
anticipated something better from
America and Germany: and he con-
cludes that the American, English and
German girl is like the French girl,
and all have forsaken the idea of love
marriages, marrying for practical and
not sentimental reasons.
1t comes down to the century-old
fact that there is no set rule that will
apply to each one all the time. The
intellectual woman who appears to
have been bookized out Of all thought
of matrimony would probably have
been a prismatic charactered old maid
