The daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1906-1907, 1907-04-01
BY WHAT AUTHORITY

When Mr.. Whitson offered to guar
antee Governor Sparks immunity
from criticism from the press of the
state and series of flattering
notices for each and every act of his
administration for four years, how
many papers was he authorized to
speak for and by whose authority.
The next question arising is.
Were these flattering notices to be
the run of the paper E. o. D. or top
of column, next to reading matter.
without a star. Possibley Whitson
couldn't get it out of his mind that
that he was still an advertising
agent. We can say on behalf of the
Appeal that he was never authorized
to make such contract for it. How
about the rest of the Nevada news
papers. Speak up gentleman.
Possibly the sale of advertising
space to Governor Sparks was
merely made on behalf of the Journal
and Gazette. If SO the Governor was
wise in side stepping it.

HASTGNS TO EXPLAIN.

The blast from the Elko Independ-
ent lifting the lid of the Reno news
paper graft in the publicity matter
has caused the Journal and Gazette
to both rush into print to explain
that they never had any idea of doing
any printing for the publicity bureau.
No, not in the slightest. The state
is going to do it all. The article in
the Independent was written by j
man who is generally in the habit OF
expressing his views without fear or
favor, and exposes something that
has been known all over Reno for
weeks and freely discussed there.

this occasion we have driven to 1t
in self defense simply in order to show
to the people of Reno what monu-
mental humbugS we are dealing with
The opinion of the Journal editors in
1905 was their unbiased, sincere
opinion when they wrote as they felt
and the Appeal editor was not stand
ing the way of rich booty which
they scented in the Publicity bill.
The bill heads of the Citizens League
according to the Ilko Independent,
show who the officers are. E. L.
Bingham, o. R. Morgan and John
Whitson.
The Publicity bill they now admit
was framed by these three men to
provide Offices for themselves.
W1hitson was SLATED" and admits
it for the Craftsmanship and the
other two were to be his associates.
All the State Board of Publicity con-
centrated in one county.
Mr.. Whitson informs us in an affi-
davit that he threw up a job of ten
thousand year to come to Nevada
and take the head of the Publicity
Bureau. If his affidavit is true he
was willing to sacrifice $500 a year
to help Nevada. Now if it is fair
question where was he going to make
up that $500?
Would not a business man of ordi
nary sense regard with suspicion the
offer of a stranger to work for him
at $4,000 after he learned that he had
refused a ten thousand a year offer
from a man across the street?
He would certainly scratch his
head little thinking the matter over.
Then if he found that the two men to
The daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1906-1907, 1907-04-01

be associated with the stranger had
forty fits a day and howled their
heads off because they were not al
lowed to go into his employ without
compensation, he would, if he gave
the matter any serous consideration,
at least take the precaution to keep
a close book account on his business
and if he improved the occasion to
turn the combination of his safe
when he went out to lunch, no one
would criticise him.
The howl now going up daily in
the columns of the Journal and Ga
zette is not really directed at the in
capacity of the Governors appoint
ment, but is the rage of disappoint-
ment they are unable to conceal over
the loss of the fat goose they expect
ed to pluck after they got the bird in
their hands.
If they were half as cunning as the
fox instead of having the instincts of
a hog they would not be squealing
now like two pigs under a gate and
attracting the attention of the entire
state to their discomforture.
The Appeal is not questioning the
motives of the Commercial League
of Reno. 1t is composed of honor
ablemen who have the best interest
| of the state at heart.
Fairness to Washoe
The cry is being raised by the
proprietors of the Journal and Ca
zette that the writer will not treat
Washoe county fairly.
In answer to this we will state that
during the last legislature the
Washoe delegation asked the editor
of the Appeal to help pass the Agri-

those now assailing him. is the only
incident in this fight that gives us
regret or concern.
All we have to ask of the enemy
is that they will direct their assaults
upon us alone, for we are Indifferent
to them.
AS to the future of our work for
Nevada we feel that an important
trust has been placed in our keeping
and we will see that the trust Is
sacredly kept.
We will send the standard of Ne
vada's resources into all parts of the
world and wage a campaign of Pub
licity that will never cause any Ne
yadan to blush for his state.
AS for the two papers who are now
assailing us we hope they will not
cease their work on our account.
A man fighting the trenches for his
state might be annoyed at the poster
! ing OF gnats, but if he made that an
| excuse to lie down and quit fighting
he would deserve to be branded as a
coward and traitor to the interests
he had sworn to serve.

WILL FIGHT At CLOSE RANGE

Lord Nelson said that "a ship in
battle was never out of place when
close to the enemy"
Acting on the excellent advice
given by this illustrious Admiral of
England the Appeal proposes to
cruise Tor a few days in Washoe
waters while it engages the two buc-
cancers of Nevada journalism, the
Journal and Gazette at close range.
We trust that these pirates of the
main will come up along side and
throw their graphing irons across
our gunwales. They have two crafts
at their command and their guns are
longer range, but we will have the
better equipment and the most am
munition and our clearance papers
are regular.
Under the circumstances we hope
they will not decline to do business
at close quarters and we will promise
neither to ask or give quarter in this
fight.
We supposed a few days ago that
the foolish pickering over an unso-
licited appointment was closed and
the Appeal dropped the incident.
The two Reno papers, however,
with their larger audience continued
to play their mud batteries upon the
editor of the Appeal and we now
propose to move down where we can
night at close range and we promise
the citizens of Reno that we will
reach larger audience than either
of the opposition combined.
We are not in the habit of printing
laudatory notices of ourselves. Upon

DID HIS DUTY WITH
NO THOUGHT OF GRAFT

''THE revocation of the license of the New
York Life Insurance Company by State Insur-
ance Commissioner, Sam Davis, came like a
thunderbodt to the public, and cataclysm to
the insurance company. It was mastery
move-one that was not only perfectly legiti-
mate, but was absolutely demanded by the
circumstances Of the case. Now that it has
been done, it seems such an obvious thing to
do that everybody wonders why the idea was
not adopted sooner by some eastern insurance
commissioner. Sam Davis is man of origi-
nal ideas but it took more than originality to
execute the idea conceding it once conceived.
'The real secret of Mr.. Davis action is
that he is an honest official. AS an insurance
man remarked yesterday morning, it would
have been worth many thousands of dollars to
the New York Life to have foreseen and fore
stalled Mr.. Davis move. It would have been
worth trip to this despised and derided, free
silver, rotten borough of Nevada on the part
of Mr. Mccall or MIR. Perkins, or some trusted
agent of theirs, and the offering of ''gift" of
100000 or so to the Insurance Commissioner
of Nevada to have followed policy Of "hands
off," The action Of Commissioner Davis in

The Appeal hopes the Senate will
take that view of the situation and
they now have in their power to end
this needless factional quarrel which
cannot in the end but rebound to the
good of the entire state.
Now the above is not published as
an olive branch of peace to the two
piratical newspapers who prey upon
but do not represent the interests of
Washoe county.
We are not asking peace nor any
other favors at their hands Their

character in Reno and highly esteem.
ed by those fortunate enough to in
cur it.
We do not republish the Journals s
glowing eulogy of our official stand
ing with the slightest pride, but
merely to show the glaring inconsist-
ency of that vacillating and erratic
publication.
We have never sought a quarrel
with these newspapers and we will
never see the day that we would steu
aside to avoid one.
We are willing to compare the
record of thirty five residence in
this state with theirs and as for oul
official record of the past four years
the books of the Office we held are
public property.

fight is the knowledge that Governor

of State Insurance Commissioner Sam Davis,

might try to default in its payments to the
sufferers by the San Francisco disaster should
be permitted to do business in Nevada.

by our proximity to, or liking for the people

Snow and Ice Sports in Canada.

ct is not without reason that
dWellers in milder climates look for
ward with a thrill to some time
spending a winter in Canada and
sharing the picturesque sports which,
inherited from the Indian, the Scot
or the Scandinavian, have been cast
in their present form by the vigor
and high spirits of the Canadian peo-
ple., thus says writer in the Janu-
ary number of the New Idea Won
ans Magazine in discussing those
winter pastimes which must appeal
to all lovers of outdoors. Few peo-
pie know to what extent tobogan,
ming, snow-shoeing, hockey and even
ice-boating are entered into by both
men and women in these northern
climates: and their social influence
in bringing people together for a
common pleasure and purpose is an
other attractive side for which other
localities offer no substitutes. The

ssNECESSITY KNOWS NO LAW"

Six or eight children are at home
in the north part of the town in the
same building with their father, who
is down with smallpox. In an urgent
plea made in the interest of the pub
lie, the World last night made re-
quest for a building to be provided
by the county commissioners, where
persons afflicted with contagious dis
eases might be taken with safety to
themselves and TO the community in
general.
The World is informed that w. A.
Saunders, commissioner of this dis
trict, is not in town. Under the cir
cumstances it might fall to the lc-
of he city or. the health Office to
assume the responsibility in the mat
ter.
While it may be outside the prov
ince OF the city officials to take up
this question of a sick family be-
yond the city limits, it is a matter
of such public Importance that they
would be perfectly justified in taking
cognizance of it and doing what was
necessary in the matter.

ease in this city in a building by
