The Land OF Sunshine
l.. s. c.

Hurrah for the State of Nevada:
The region OF sunshine and gold.
With silver and copper Astounding,
melting the prospector bold.
Revived are the DAYS OF the Comstock
After years of depression so great;
Making safe from the doom OF extinction
This large, but not populous State.
Nevada has been undervalued;
Her resources few would allow:
Though many have taken her treasure,
More populous States to endow.
II robbed of her bright gold and silver,
The sunshine and soil still remain;
And beautiful swift flowing rivers
To fertilize valley and plain.
Nevada can boast OF her rivers
That flow from the east and the west !;
For when their caressing is ended
All sink within lakes on her breast.
One beautiful lake on her border
Lies up in the region of snow.
That wonderful triumph of Nature
BY Indians was christened Tahoe.
It's safely confined in basin
Where the lofty Sierras divide;
Far above the Paci6c's broad level,
Tall pines guarding every side.
When passing DER either high summit,
Like magic appears to ones sight
That broad, glistening body of water
The Occident's pride and delight.
This land of bright sunshine is pleasant
When Springtime enlivens the scene;
Glad birds fill the air with sweet music
Midst beautiful cottonwoods green.
Oh, State of Nevadal forgive me
For leaving your sheltering arms
To seek in a richer dominion
Proud Mammon' elusory charms.
Once more would fain be your subject;
And never again will stray,
Till the Pale Boatman ferries me over
The river of Death far away.

Ia county, state and nation, both
great political parties charge mis-
management in governmental affairs
Must we abonden our form of gov
erment because there has been some
thing done not to our liking2 No,
We cannot afford it. The Dark To
bacco Association may not agree
with the Society Of Equity on the
details Of handling the tobacco co
trusted to its care, but on the one
fundamental principal of one buyer
and one seller, and the grower to
have a voice iu price setting we are
in perfect accord. 1t is lameuta-
bic fact that a great deal, If not all
the night riding in Western Ken
lucky, has either occurred in the
the territory covered by the Dark
Tobacco District, or thought to have
been committed by people living
within the boundries But must
we condemn the whole Association
for atrocities committed by very
small PERCENTAGE Of Its membership?
Must we condemn the church and
ask it to abandon Its organization
simply because some people use it as
a cloak to conceal them while they
commit deeds too h-..ish to mention.
These things occur IN church and So
iety every day; but mast we surren-
der our civilization because Of it2
No, we must remedy the evils, and
then keep the beam light always in
view. Below We give an article from
the jacksonville Journal which We
feel will interest our readers, as 1t
gives both sides of the question, and
we leave the reader to Judge wheth-
er or uotthe tobacco growers of that
section can afford to give up that
organization or not until they get
another to take its plac e, at least.
