FLANlGAN's ADMISSION

The open admission of Pat Flanagan,
that he offered direct bribe in the
guise Of steady job on his own pay
roll and his aid in securing position
under the government, to candidate
for district attorney In WashOe county
upon condition of the latter's with
drawing from the race, constitutes ono
Of the most fragrant violations Of
political ethics and of the laws of the
State of Nevada which has over been
laid ut the door of candidate for
Office in this state. The incident has
created a scandal the odor of which has
penetrated beyond the borders of this
comm ,nwealth and if it does not defeat
the republican candidate overwhelm-
ingly then it is hopeless to look for
clean politics and the survival of
decency in Nevada.
Flanigan's act in making this offer
is direct violation of the statutes and
a heavy penalty is provided by law for
offenses of this nature. The opinion
has been widely expressed that his
position on the republican ticket has
become untenable and that he should
be forced to withdraw from the race for
United State senator, although there is
little likelihood of his approaching the
gravity of his offense or, if he does, of
that fact changing his plans in the least.
His plea that he was acting in the inter
ests of harmony and his ingenious adj
mission of conduct of this character
attest elequently of the mans ignorance
or deliberate violation of and con-
tempt for the laws.
This is certainly not the type of man
to be chosen as the representative of a
sovereign people and to entrust with
the enaction of laws for their govern
ment. If Flanagan was ignorant of the
fact that his action was criminal, at
least he must have been aware that it
was immoral and subversive of public
morality and honesty in politics. If
he does not know that he is doubly un.
fitted, by such distorted sense of right
and justice to occupy the high position
to which he aspires. Let the people
elect only clean men. In this case if
the candidate raises the plea of ignor-
ance of Il law which has been printed in
every newspaper in the state and dis
cussed widely since the beginning of
the campaign, it We're wise to accept
the excuse of ignorance and consider
the sense of an old adage which says, in
effect. that there is more danger in a
fool than in knave.-Goldtield Chron-
icle

Two Billion Dollar Fire Loss This Year

The fire losses in the United States
this year involve a waste that as
sumes the proportion of national
disaster. In the past three years the
losses by fire in the United States
have amounted to $3.50, OOO,OOO a
year.
This year, even before the great
Chelsea fire, the average loss per day
was nearly 100000. If this
average is kept up through the rest
of the year the total loss by fire dur
ing 1908 will amount to over 81, O0O,-
900, 900.
Experts estimate taat at least 70
per cent of the annual losses by fire
in the United States are preventable.
