RUSSIA ANXIOUS TO INTERVENE IN
 PERSIAN AFFAIRS
fspecial from United Press.)

Special from United Pfess) Teheran, Jan. flowing to a renewal of the most violent disturbances in Tabriz and the activity of the revo- lutionists in Ishahan. a city of 85,oOO population, 200 miles south of Teheran, the Russian diplomatic agents here are trying to get the British representa- tives to agree on a move for immed- Eiate intervention.
 In Ishahan the Revolutionists have gained complete control and the Per sian authorities are now refugees in the Russian and English consulates. The consuls have appealed for assist ance, declaring the situation to be most dangerous. In Tabriz the Revolution ists are throwing up intrenchments to resist the advance of the Loyal1sts.
 The British diplomats have so far refused to join with the Russians in demand for intervention, under the be- lief that Russians motive is desire to gain a permanent foothold in Per sia. With Russia once in control, England fears that the threatened Russian land grab" will have been inaugurated.

HILL VS. BRANDEGEF;
(Courant Editorials.)


 One of the leading Republicans of the state is quoted as saying that HI Il can have the endorsements, but Frank (Brandegee) will get the votes." What defereftia1 regard for public opinion is implied in this charmingly frank prediction! We do not agree with it's easy confidence, but it's contempt for what the public. want is more notice able than it's assurance. It is the pub- lie be blanked. over again.
 He (dill) has been from the first a strong friend of President-elect Taft and, if elected a senator, will join at once the group in that body that stands for the administration, while Brande- gee is recognized as ant.-administra- tion and a silent member, but useful so long as he has a vote. of the opposition cabal.
 i (So. Norwalk Sentinel)
 The candidacy of Hon. B. J. Hill for the United States senate has made clear that public sentiment and opin- ion strongly favor his election and that the machine is against him. It remains to be seen whether the people or the machine. shall determine the matter We are confronted with re- markab1e spectacle. namely, the at tempt of the machine" to graft the great office of United States sena tor for political favorite. This is what their action amounts to. The office be- longs to the people, and they want MT. Hill to fill it but the members of the machine ignore this. and seek to use the office to pay a political debt They have promised it to MT. Brandegee. What right have they to promise it? It would be less injurious to the people to have them literally steal their money than to appropriate, the very channel and machinery of fheir gov ernment. The influence of the ma chine'' is an effect which has gradually grown out of the greed of certain in terests, and the indifference of the people to their duty to the public, and the only remedy is public opinion.
 The chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. and every member of that body should represent the whole party, and. if by reason of busi- ness association or friendship, he is unable to do that. he ought to resign from the committee. We appreciate Mr. Kenealy's work foFsMr. ~Brandegee as an individual. but we believe he has disqualified himself as representa- tive of the whole party. and that he should resign from his office. He should not in honor use the power given him by the people to elect a man to the United States senate who is not the free choice of the people.

THE TRUE. HONESTY

Now, Willie, bic IL good boy and don't
take little sisters cLke. and I'll bring
y0n something nice when I come
back" -,
yes, I was on the square with him,
and made II paltry five hundred; and
I might as well have taken Il little
advantage and made ten thousand.
That's what get for being honest"
Did you ever hear any such talk as
fhis? asks the Denver Post.
Do you see any connection between
the boy who is bribed to be decent, and
the man who complains because his
honesty has brought him less money
than another mans thievery?
The American citizen, generally, is
nnch given to bawailing the lack of
sterling honesty among the men he
elects to Office. He does not see that the
mass of ofiiceholders represent pretty
accurately the moral status of the
people who elect them. 1t is futile to
expect hoys To grow up with Il much
more exalted opinion of honesty than
WAS instillcd into them by their parents,
or OfficehOlders to he above the moral
Bvel OF the people whom they
eprescnt.
The parent is to blame Let him
each his boys to be honest for the love
n honesty and decency and fair play,
Ind that his own self-respect is worth
more than all the parental brides that
Gln be offered. Then he may hope that
his boy will grow into u man who will
scorn to he dishonest, even if it appears
that knavcry would bring him larger
financial returns. And when such men
predominant in the nation, it may not
he too much to hope that their public
otficcholders will support laws with d
view to the good they will do the state,
and not for what bearing they will have
on the individuals personal welfare, or
what may lie offered for his support by
interested parties. :
Honesty which is kept from being
kravery by fear of exposure or for a
reward of merit is better than none; but
the true honesty, the kind that wears
Is that which depends on the approval
of the conscience, the kind which
prefers s@lf-rcspcct to anything the world
may offer.

The following is u notice from the
Salt Lake Herald. D., -
There are certainly some proud
fathers and mothers in Salt Lake City
today anil those who attended the little
playlet. The Toy Makers Dream" at
the Salt Lake Theatre last evening
know the reason why. The play given
for the benefit of the Day Nursey and
Orphans home proved of greater inter
est than many shows ut the Salt Lake
Theatre this season. 1t was collection
of little tots ranging from 3 to IL years
old and real actors embryo. T.
1t was one of the prettiest pieces Of
work that has been shown for some
time. Never break occurred during
the entire performance and many of
the little ones could give their elders
points on feeling at home on the stage
There was one little jumping-jack
who, an interested play-goer asserted,
was a cracker-jack. CARRIED in a
clowns suit he hoped about as d
mechanical clown with the regularity
of a toy doll.
In all there was much that was far
finer than the mere paragraphs of u
newspaper could portray. 1t was the
work of children. who acted dozens of
years older than they are, but with the
grace and innocence of childhood The
drills and dances were som ething to he
proud of. When the toy-mal1er fell
asleep tine dolls began their romp and it
was then that the pleasing numbers
were given.
Halle F. Gelbart. who trained the
youngsters certainly ought to feel
satisfied with what they did.

One of the most important legal

Sothern, the actress, for divorce from
her no less celebrated husband. f. Fl.
SOthern.
Judge Pixies decision, it is conceded,
settles beyond question the fact that
Virginia Harmed Sothern cannot secure
a divorce from her husband, unless she
or her husband comes to the state and
takes up such a residence here as proves
conclusively bona fide intention to
remain here. Such was Mrs Sothern's
case. She never came to Nevada. so
far as can be learned, contenting her.
