BUILD A HIGH
SCHOOL DORMITORY.

IL is reported that several young men
and women who came here to attend
the county high school have been cou-
PEELED to return to tEeir homes because
they were unable to procure board and
lodging. Ii these reports be true, il
shows the necessity Of some action upon
the part OF the board Of education to-
ward building and equipping a dormi-
tory 20 take care Of the Young people
who wish to attend the high school.
At the opening Of every term since
the school has grown III favor with the
people of the coun,y the town has been
canvassed for boarding places for the
studerts. Appeals have been made TO
nll who could accommodate tile young
people. Sometimes these appeals have
borne fruit, but in many cases they
were ID vain.
While come may think thus condition
is not creditable to the public spirit OF
ElkO's citizeus, it nevertheless exists
and will continue to eIist. The only
way To change the condition is to build
II dormitory and place 1t III charge Of a
person capable Of hPudlruR the young
people. This can be done at mn expense
Of a few thousand dollars.
Unless some provision IL made for
the care OF the >ouug people, parents will
not send them to EIko Ia he educated
and as a consequences the county high
school will not prosper. II the citizens
Of Elko want to make the county high
school a means OF building up the town
as we'll ia a tirst-alasa institution OF
learning, they ust provide board aud
lodging for the young people who wan,
to attend tho school, In no way car
this be done ms, well us IL can be- in n
dormitOry.
These thoughts are thrown nIt in
the hope that they may bear fruit III The
not distant future, II, however, the
seed should fal upon stony ground, and
present conditions continue to exist ~
I'll parents sond their children else he -
TO obtain n high school education, the
writer will have the satisfaction ui
knowing tn u he sca,tcrs red ~ good
time, and that its failure to produce
good fruit in abundance wns due To no
fault in the seed.

OUR MURDER RECORD.

in Amenca, there is but conviction to
seventy murders. America is the only
country in the world where the percent
age Of munderes are on the increase.
In 1885, We had 1,soS murders in thus
country. In 1904, we had s,42S murders
or the l,S0S In 1855 only l9S were con-
vIcted. or the s,4S2, guilty beyond
reasonable doubt, in 1904, only ll6
we're so found. Here is the story Of
justice frustrated. Acquit e~ixty-nine
out Of seventy murderers, and what is
TO be expected? A~ssureGly, under such
conditions we may not hope for fewer
capital crimes. Is it not reasonable to
suppose that when society, through the
courts and ~iuries, cheapene, human life,
the murderer and criminal will look on
his fellow as a thing OF small worth?
When society frees s~iIty-nine out OF
Of every seventy murderers, does ii not
seem clear that the man slayer in being
encouraged rather than deferred? What
terror is there for the criminal III the
court-otfered loop holcs, through which
siIty-niue escapes while Que is caught
and punished
Here we have the fruits OF sdemeutia
American the -unwni!ten law the
ingenuity OF corrupt la~!e rs, Il mstsk-
en- sense OF duty to clients, in honest
attorneys; the cry OF insanity; unneces-
sary and empty appe tls, delays and
maladroit trickeries. We have too many
aids to mrnderers, and We permit justice
to be victimized TO frequently.
In this country we realize the appan.
ing fact that for every million OF our
population, there are five tIIhss as many
murderers as i'll Australia. eight times
as many as in Japan, ten times us many
as IN Germany. Italy, the land OF the
stilletto, hot passions and the vendetta,
alone OF all Europe, has ever exceeded
our bloody record. Mexico and the
United States are at the toot.-Indian.

10 an editorial in a recent issus
Lesljs's Weekly says: -Suppose?-
Tariff revision should be made the lead
ing issue in the democratic platform in

Suppose the uecessaries OF lie at the
time should continue to remain on tue
prrseut high and unnatural plane, aud
that it should he charged that our indus
tries sell their products at lower prices
abroad than at home, and that the
reports Of Corporation Commissioner
Smith Op the Standard Oil company
prove the charge? Suppose a severe
business recession should leave many
persons without employment in the
presidential year: Suppose demo-
cratic newspapers aud orators should
charge the high prices and the business
recession to the protective tariff: repeat
the tale falsehood that 'ihe tariff Is the
mother 1T all ~irustF,' and make that the
buruinR question Of the campaign:
Suppose republican trust busters who
are magifyinR the trust issue and i'm
p~eriling the national Prosperity-on the
ACHE vement Of which the party's sue
cess has been and must be o should
attempt to deny these fhlacies and
i~al5ehoods? Would they nave time to
do it satisfactorily, i'll the present
lpilamed temper OF AN ipconsldernte aud
thoughtless people, before the close Of
the polls on November 3, 1905? IL not,
what would happen, and to whom
Well, we know one thing that would
happen to LeslIe's Weekly. Unless il
SECURED a new corps OF writers 1t would
be unable to make its regular appear
ance after 1t had been announced that
the system Tor which Leslie's Weekly
hes go long been a servile spokesman
has met defeat at the polls.
But why not take time bY the fore
lock? The tariff question is being dis.
cussed right now Why not begin the
wo;k OF proving that the tariff Is not
the mother Of any trust; that the for.
eigner pays the tax; that q high protective
Tariff Is the -best expression Of PLre and

undertake to show that there Is no
relation between the fact that the iepub-
lican party gets its campaign funds
from the tariff barons aud the fact that
the republican congress fails 70 heed the
demand made from the rank and lille OF
Its party that the tariff be revised for
the benefit of the people? Why not
prove that republican leaders are seri-
