THEY STILL CRY.

Under this head the Elko indie
pendent scores them as follows:
The Journal and Gazette are still
crying over the appointment OF Sam
Davis as Chairman of the Publicity
Commission One would think from
reading their effusions that the peo-
pie of Nevada are up in arms over
the failure of Governor Sparks to
name John Whitson, E. L. Bingham,
or 0. R. Morgan for the position.
The Journal says that over twenty
papers in the State protest against
the appointment of Davis. This is
not true Of the exchanges that reach
this office Nearly all the papers
that mention the matter at all COM
pliment the Governor on the appoint
ment of Mr. Davis, The only papers
that oppose his appointment are the
Gazette and Journal. The failure of
the Governor to appoint either of the
men mentioned above accounts for
the raving of those papers. They
have missed good thing and are
telling the world all about their mis-
fortunes.
The abuse that these two papers
are heaping upon Mr.. Davis and the
slurs they cast on Governor Sparks
show to what extent some men will
20 to get their noses into the public
trough. Their conduct in the pres
ent instance is little short of dis
gushing.
The cry of the Journal and Gazette
would be disgraceful if it we're no
so pitiful. They are crying over
lost Opportunity-an opportunity los
to them because Governor Spark
was not in on the deal. It's reall
too bad, but there is no help for il
to cease their crying and the peopl
of Nevada will soon forget their foo
ishness, -.

The appointment of Sam Davis as

meets with approval in all sections

the local popers have encouraged a

for critisism in this action. Reno is
