If you have not yet learned the golden rule it would
be well for you to do it would help, you very
materially along your life journey. The thought that
has prompted this short lecture is
Only Fools Fight, found in the following excerpt:
Wise Men Counsel ga feeling that we will not
allow anybody to talk mpudenty
to without talking back in the vein is respons-
ible for much of the bitter enmity in the world. If
competitor does something to you which he should not
do go and have talk with him, but do not enter with
your hair brstng and your spurs Ask him if it is
would be arer and better for both yourself and him to
change 1t does not hurt your dignity lower your
independence jot and it gives both of you chance
for readjustment''
Only fools fight and contend differences. If you
have troubles with talk it and if you
settle it amicably If you not then take either to
others to the courts for adjustment Knocking the
other fellow down neither makes you feel any better
convnces him that he is wrong, whereas well chosen
words may. In life if you find you cannot be agreeable
with those with whom you thrown in contact then
do not associate with them The world is large enough
for both of you and is not interested in the slightest
whether you speak to each other not 1t often hap
pens that after carefully considering the questions
issue you will find yourself just far wrong you
thought the other fellow In life learn to give and take
and if necessary take yourself away from the other fell
low if you not agree.

That it is mistake to encourage young men to leave
they in their mature years return to the farm and
improve the same, is the conclusion
Leaving Country of every person who has watched
For the City. the of young who have
given up the farm for the glare and
glitter of the city The country boy who goes to the
city is at plunged into the dazzling and dangerous
whr of city life and he is less likely to land right side
up with than the city boy who has grown up
amidst such whrI. Perhaps the young man from the
country will be able to resist the temptations of the
city life and perfect himself in business, trade
profession and thereby write his the wall Of
fame-some have done so-but it's safe to say it has
been the exception and by means the rule. The
cities and towns Of the United States being settled
up at the expense of the country and of the dis
tressng results of it is misery and want etenally
bounding a majority of homes in every city in this
country and the charity organizations compelled to
be just active the industrial organizations The
in the country with ten acre farm and that in
high state of cultivation has which to rear
family than the in the city with house and lot
and position that pays him twenty-five dollars per
week. Some young men find artisan jobs in the city,
but the great majority do not and hence they grow to
manhood with no fixed purpose, not having either a
trade or profession to fall back when they get
family. Such men are what has been termed Jacks
of all trades and good at none handy men, but by no
means necessary men. These wholly unfit for
country life in fact they themselves have taste to
live the country and under such circumstances they
simply pass through life drones whereas if they had
been encouraged to stick to the farm they would have
grown up useful men to the community and been pro
ducers instead of OF there is great

hoped will soon be DONE but even it now is it is much

The good roads agitation which has gone the rounds
of every state in the Union and has likewise even in
vaded the halls of Congress- longer in the agita

Good Roads in may be seen from the following ex
United States cerpt
"The people of the county in which
is situated the city of Los Angeles Ca have had under
consideration for time plan for bonding the
county for good road building and result the
county has decided by twohirds vote bond issue
of So 100000 to build system Of 300 miles Of
modern roads which be as good as science can
make Them
If the various counties could by some means elect
county commissioners that would look to the build
ing up of good roads than of political machines would
only be matter of very short time before the country
by and large would be the proud posesOr of good roads
and whether such did did not stimulate trade would
be nothing in comparison to the convenience the gen
era public would gain thereby and both the persons
living in the country well those in the cities would
be benefited. More persons living in the cities would
seek nearby country homes and there would be more
Improvement in the farm lands and solid comfort

at least in the United States is better roads not exactly
better roads, for there at present practically
roads in this country and therefore, the cry is for good
roads and since it would be just easy to build good
road makeshft for a road the former should be
done If the United States government could be inter-
ested in the building of great highway reaching from
to and likewise reaching from the lakes
to the gulf they would prove far beneficial than
the eXpending of the amount of money in

would prove great benefit they could be used

TARIFF REFORM AND ITS KIND

The Philadelphia Record says all the
republican declarations on the tariff,
fpom the moderate one of Minnesota to
the gross absurdity of Pennsylvania,
show that the Dingley tariff will he re-
vised only in the high protection sense.
The Record goes on to say:
mo enemy will be permitted to lay
profane hands on the sacred edifice
What that means has been seen more
than once in the history of the party of
protection. That there may he no mis-
take as to its present purpose, Il resolu
tiOn introduced by Serene f. Payne pro-
vides that the committee of ways and
means, of which he is chairman shall
take up the subject during the summer
vacation of congress- and use the ma
terials collected by government agents
and experts as Il basis for future revis-
ion. With this campaign maneuver the
stand-patters and the trusts are entirely
satisfied, in that 1t foreshadows an in
terminable delay in making such tariff
revision only us will serve their inter
ests. At the same time it stops the
mouths of all such republican friends of
tariff reforms rs prefer party to the pub
lie welfare. Thus with the stand-pat-
tcrS and the trusts in one ring and the
tariff rcformers in the other, the repub-
lican party will march in perfect har-
mony to accomplish the main end in the
preservation of political power"

left night for Humboldt for purpose of
capturing c. r. Webster, a saloon
keeper, dead or alive.
Webster, assisted by his bar keeper
by the name of York, resisted arrest
earlier in the evening by Constable
Wolf of Lovelock, who attempted to
take Webster into custody. The at
tempt ended in fusilade af gun shots
in which one man was shot twice
When Wolf entered the saloon,
Webster experimenting his purpose,
instantly covered the constable with
his gun, Wolf withdrew, declaring that
he would take the train and return to
Lovelock He boarded the train, as he
agreed, but as the train pulled out
stepped from the platform to the other
side of the track, and soon afterward
reappeared at the saloon, intent upon
placing Webster under arrest
Without giving the desperate man
any opportunity to again cover him
with his sIn, Wolf Immediately fired ut
Webster, two shots entering his back
and one his arm Webster returned the
fire Immediately, but without effect,
five shots in all being fired Day bar
tender York was sent for and appeared
to the assistance of Webster. The con-
stable then left the saloon and wired to
Winnemucca for Sheriff Lamb, who,
with a posse of men, left as quickly as
possible for the scene of the difficulties.
The Silver State News says that be
fore the arrival of Sheriff Lamb,
Webster concluded to surrender and did
so when the sheriff arrived. He was
found to have been hit twice and
perhaps three times, as he had two
bullet holes in the left arm, and bullet
had :entered his left side, coming out

serious trouble from them is anticipated.
Webster's offense in Lovelock was the
drawing Of pistol in the red light
district and compelling one of the fallen
women to beat another A warrant for
his arrest was sworn to by one of the
women and Constable Wolf telegraphed
Webster that he wanted to see him.
