James q. Sweeney, associate jus
tice of the supreme court. who has
been the subject of considerable
criticism at the hands of members of
the convention and the press anent
his active participation in the pro-
ceedings at the recent Democratic
buzz fest has the following to say in
support of his contention that it is
the duty of every citizen irrespective
of what Office he hold to participate
therein:
Everyone is entitled to his opin-
ion il this matter, but in so far as 1
am personally concerned, 1 deem it
not only the privilege of q supreme
judg,, but an imperative duty, and
particularly when an issue or princi-
pie slch as was at stake in the Tono-
pah convention is involved. 1 have
no apologies whatever to make for
my activity and intend to do my
duty to my state from a civic stand
point, as 1 see and believe right. I
do not believe that because l happen
to b. u supreme judge, that 1 am pre-
cludol from expressing my opinions
on political issues, nor that because
occupying this position, l cannot par
ticiplte in standing for the principles
I believe right and that must stand
aside and allow others to make plat
forms declaring principles which 1
believed are opposed to the best inter
ests of my state. Nor do L feel that
I am precluded from advocating the
nomination of men who stand for my
principles, as against others who
might not. I understand my judicial
and civic duties and intend to perform
them both as see the light"
Regarding Congressman Bartlett's
nomination Judge Sweeney said he
believed him politically one of the
strongest men on the ticket, and be-
lieved that for his manly and open
support of Governor Sparks in bring
ing about the industrial peace Nevada
enjoys today, he should and will be
elected by an overwhelming majority
Governor Sparks sacrificed his very
life" said Judge Sweeney, "for this
reign of peace we enjoy in this state.
and those who are attempting to take
the political life Of Congressman
Bartlett because of his support given
Governor Sparks, should and will be
defeated in their purpose. -Tonopah

SpeetacIes for Cows.

Russian firm which manufactures
optical goods has just completed an
order for 10000 pairs Of glasses to be
worn by cows. These spectacles are
necessary because the steppes, the
great Russian pratries, are covered
with snow for six months in the year,
but during part of the time delicate
fresh grass tips brotrude from the
white and dazzling mantle. The cows
then are turned out to feed on the
new grass. but If their eyes are un-
protected from the dazzle of sunshine
on the snow 1t gives them snow
blindness. Hundreds have died from
this cause; but rude, cheap kind OF
spectacles. made Of leather and
smoked glass, was invented, and since
has been used with great success.

they secured $500 from the vaults

citizens pursuing them.
The robbers looted two banks.
One Of the robbers was wounded In

The banks robbed were the Far
haers' State bank of Kenne, south of
Gibbons, and the Commercial bank
OF Gibbons. The robbers secured
$4,000 at the former and $4,000 at
the latter bank. While the robbers
were at work citizens surrounded
the building and for fifteen minutes
a lively fusillade of shots were ex-

automobile. Posses at once started in
pursuit. but the robbers made good
their escape.
