PENSIONS FOR POLICE WOULD
BE A DESERVING REWARD
Police Asking Little Of COun-
Gil for This Most Worthy
Cause

The fight the police are making for a
pension fund has the approval Of the
general public. and the police hope that
City Council win shortly approve the
measure and appropriate at least $1,000
as a nucleus for the fund.
The police have asked Council to
turn over to them the receipts Of the
annual tax collected for the registra-
tion Of dogs. but the councilmen favor
the appropriation Of stipulated
amount for the fund. Several confer
ences have been held and it is likely
that some action may be taken on
Thursday night.

BEFORE COURT OPENING

By Our own Wire. Publishers Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.--When Harry
X. Thaw came into the court room to-
day he appeared to be on the verge Of
a nervous breakdown. 1t was evident
that he is not so insane as to fail to
appreciate what a crazy mess was
made of the first round of his defense
yesterday. He was CHASTITY pale. His
lips twitched and trembling hands be-
trayed his mental state. 1t was ap-
parent that the unfaltering belief he
has had in the ability Of his counsel to
clear him Of the charge Of numbering
Stanford White had sustained a hard
blow.
Gleason Takes Back Seat.
When Justice Fitzgerald called court
to order all Of Thaws lawyers took
seats at the counsel table.
Following a council of attorneys for
Thaw, it was announced that through
out the remainder of the hearing Del
phin NJ Delmas will be in charge of
the defense, assisted by Attorney Dam
iel OReilly Attorneys Gleason, Hart
ridge, McPike and Peabody win act In
advisory capacities.
Judge Delmas called Benjamin Bow

hand in his pocket and drawing a re-
volver, said. TN find and kill that

did you tell any member of the
Thaw family?" asked Delmas.
Yes, sir; I saw Mr.. Thaw on Fifth

THIRD TERM LEAGUE

There has been organized in
Chicago what is termed the Roose-
Welt Third Term National League.
The purposes of this organization
are to try and prevail upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt to accept the NOM
ination for reelection in 1908.
The league officers state that it is
not by any means political motives
that instigates the organization,
but a desire to give Roosevelt
time to carry out the great re-
forms he has started, and which
he will not have time to complete
if he gives up the Presidential
chair at the end of his present
term.
] 1t is not conceded by all that
Roosevelt would be accepting a
third term if he was to seek the
chair again, as he has really only
been elected once by the people
to the presidency. His first term
was only a piece of term filled
after the death Of Mckinley.
However, Mr.. Roosevelt has
stated, quite positively, that he
will not accept another term nor
be candidate for. reelection. We
think he made mistake when he
made such declaration. but mis-
takes are things he seldom makes.
It is fact that the Nation at the
present time needs level-headed,
square, honest and aggressive man

THE NEW YEAR

No year in the history of Nevada
has opened with more promise
than the year 1907. The old State
has come to the front in the past
few years with such strides that
she has made the whole world sit
up and pay attention. Our mines
are now producing SO much wealth
that the State will be at the top
of the list for gold and silver in
another year or two, and in less
than FIVE years we look to see her
the greatest copper producing
State in the Union.
Not only Is Nevada thriving and
becoming known as mining
State, but her agricultural re-
sources are receiving considerable
attention from investors. It is be-
coming known that Nevada can
produce the finest potatoes, grain,
garden produce, fruit, etc.
We of the Mason Valley section
are doubly fortunate in our locali-
ty. We have one of the greatest
agricultural districts in the State,
and both to the east and west of
us are ranges of mountains that
contain in abundance gold. silver
and copper values. The situation
is an ideal one. The development
Of our mining resources can be
carried on more cheaply here than
elsewhere and the development of
the mines makes a market for our
agricultural products.
If, among your other resolutions
for the New Year, you have not
included the one to be booster
instead of a knocker. record it now.
Our district has the goods to de-
liver in both mines and agricul-
tural lands; they are no wildcat
propositions and cannot be too
strongly advertised to the outside
world. 1t would be hard matter
to exaggerate our resources, so
put on pleasant face and tell the
truth-whicl, will be boosting
enough.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1907-01-05

at the head Of affairs. The age OF
graft and greed is something to De
seriously contemplated, and the
checking of the concentration OF
wealth into the hands Of few to
the great detriment of the common
people is question that requires
careful study and firm action after
a campaign of reform has been
mapped out.
Whether the Third Term League
can prevail-upon Mr.. Roosevelt to
accept the nomination agairs or
not, is question. He may tlpink
he made no mistake in declaring
that he would not be candidate.
In our opinion it was a mistake,
and in our opinion it will be a
mistake if he refuses to revoke
his declaration and allow the peo-
pie to again place him in the pres
idential chair. Such man as
Roosevelt belongs to great ex-
tent to the people of the country
and he should be guided by their
desires and wishes. While there
is other good presidential timber
in the Republican ranks, Roose-
welt has the reins in his hands and
he should be willing to guide the
affairs of the country to the goal
he set out to reach. He cannot
reach it by the end Of 1908, there
fore he should accept the presi-
dency for another four years.

Another point Is the ease with which

not the time for hour-long hairdreas-

Plainly. every one Of them avoids the

and at the same time points out an
equally becoming style. Although they
are intended for summer wear, several
OF them may be adopted for winter use
as well.
A word as 10 the preliminaries. Many
persons seem 70 think that so long as
they comb their hair well. brushing Is
not necessary. As a matter Of fact.
nothing can equal the health and glossi-
ness brought by a good brushing.
Whatever else be dispensed with. that
should never be. DO not brush the
hair alone, but gave the scalp q chance
10 gain that healthy glow which comes
from friction and stimulates the growth
Of the hair.
With these few directions, our sum

nothing more than its GOODNESS. II should
be welcomed heartily in these swelter-
