oma Cal become SO degraded as to
commit an offense of this kind. The
Carson News in commenting on the af-
fair says that the laws of our state are
lax in their punishment of this crime.
If such Is the case. the next legislature
should pass AN act with u penalty severe
enough that Il person convicted of this
crime should never have an opportunity
to repeat it.

Airs. Volgt's Funeral

The Presbyterian church was crowded
this afternoon with sympathizing
friends who payed their last tribute of
respect to the memory of Mrs. Fred
VOigt. All were saddened by the thought
that Il mother in the prime of life had
been taken from her home and that
three small children were left without
II mothers care.
The services were conducted by Rev.
George H. Greenfield, the pastor Of the
church of which the deceased was u
consistent and active member, assisted
by the choir. Mr.. Greenfield spoke
words of consolation and hope to the
bereaved families and paid a beautiful
tribute to the memory of their loved
one. The choir sang beautiful hymns,
that pointed the sorrowing to the never
failing fountain of eternal life.
A wealth of floral tributes spoke
eloquently of the respect and esteem
in which Mrs. Voigt was held by those
who knew her.
When the last words were said and
the last hymn sung, the flower covered
casket, containing the remains of this
loving mother, were borne to the hearse
and followed to the cemetery by a large
number of our citizens. There the last
words were said and she was hidden
from mortal sight.
There may her rest he peaceful and
may the memory of her pure, christian
life he y consolation to these wEo
God alone can heal their broken
hearts.

WHY DOESN'T THE TRIBUNE sPEAK7

Is there no answer in all the Tribune's pages to
the charge that it has branded Martin dulvey as
gambler the friend of the underworld the promoter
Of prize fights
Is there in all that watery paper explanation
of its advice the people of the Fifth to defeat Null
vey because Mulvey is unfit to be councilman?
ne should be badly beaten that-poltically-he
would never be heard of again?
And why doesn't the Tribune say something about
John Bransford? Why carry the inner circles hatred
Of that to the extent of Haunting the flag of
surrender? Why not assume a virtue. though it have
none, and declare it likes its dish of crow?
And why doesn't it lift it's voice again for George
Sheets, as it did two years ago? There were days
when the Tribune assailed with merciess fury every
who held that Sheets did wrong in protecting the
MeWhirter robbers. Why not defend him now?
There time when the Tribune applied the term
suckers from Scotland" to victims of the bunco
game that flourished proftably when Sheets was
chief of police. The man is now stronger than
he was then. He is chief of detectives. and his word
is law all through the police department. He is held
in office by Mayor Bransford. His total unftness
for place of trust profit under the city govern
not the Tribune defend him-as it had the hardihood
to do two years ago?
The organ of the gang may have a hard road to
travel. but it should try travel it jauntily This
sullen hatred of Bransfor is suspicious
he is the nominee of the Trbune's party for mayor.
Its pictures of Mulvey embarrassing And its
silence in the matter of Sheets proves that it dare
not defend him.
