THE APPEAL APOLOGIES

A very good company presented
The Holy City, last night at the
opera house.
Aside from its sacriligeous aspect
it is a fair play. 1t is advertised as
a highly moral reproduction of a SER
les of scenes from the history of
the Saviour, with biblical quotations
as the text.
The play is immoral. and the first
act is absolutely immoral. A good
audience witnessed the first act.
The Appeal apologies for having
advertised such a play, and in eX-
planatiOn must say that it is impOs-
sible to jodge Of the merits of a
forthcoming production from the ad-
vance advertising matter.

MIDDLE WEST IN GRIP
OF GREAT BLIZZARD

DENVER, Jan. 29-FrOm II o'clock
last night to l o'clock today almost
the entire country west of the Miss
Ouri river was cut off from telegraph
ic communication with the outside
world as the result of a rain, snow
and sieet storm, accompanied by
wind Of almost cyclonic violence,
that swept over Colorado, Kansas
and Nebraska last night, and then
continued its work of destruction
eastward.
In Colorado where the storm has
been raging for several days in the
mountains and along the west slope,
railroads are blocked with drifts that
have rendered even the big rotary
plows pOwerless, and big snOwslides
are reported from all directions. High
winds in the mountains are piling
up the drifts and adding to the diff
culties of the railroads.

A fight to reduce the electric light
and power rates in California and
Nevada was started yesterday in
Reno
An investment of nine million dol
lars is made by New York and Chic

r. l.. Oddie of Tonopah. The land
was procured from J. NJ. Dixon OF
Big Pine. California.
A plant developing 250,O0O horse

power all over both states named.
This is move in direct opposi-
ton to the Edison Electric company
and the Kern River General Electric
company as well as the Pacific Light
and Power Company of California
and to the several Nevada companies.
The Kings River whore the rights
are located is an admirable point for
the establishment of gigantic plant
for the generation of power.
Several smaller plants are project

WRITES TO
THE APPEAL
I. G.. Lewis, Editor Appeal.
Nv Dear 7 .pWiS.

I. G. Lewis. Editor Appeal.
My. Dear Lewis:
| have read with unusual inter
est your article relating to the man
agement of the State University
and while | am not in a position to
say that the article in the main is
not correct, | do believe that the
paragraph charging that professor
of that institution has drawn a dou-
bic salary, one from the University
and one from the state, is mis1ead-
ing.
There is but one professor in the
State University occupying a state
Office and | think | can say with all
positiveness possible, without an ex-
pert accounting of the University
books, that this officer is not now
drawing, and never has drawn, a
salary from tne University while oc-
cupying a state office

TWO WEEKS OF
SESSION GONE

The second week of the oath sas
sion of the state Legislature CLOSED
Friday evening and there is mighty
little to show for the two weeks
spent except some minor bills pass
ed and the shape up of the big
things to come.
Speaker Giffin Strengthened out the
attache matter and everyone seems
satisfied whether they are or not
More attaches are employed in the
senate and assembly than ever be
fore and the republicans are having
lot of fun at the expense of the
democrats over that fact.
The Pyne mining inspector bill has
not yet been put through and a bill,
by Mr.. Gallagher. in regards to min
ing stock exchanges has been with
drawn.
Nye county has given notice that
it will attempt to cut salaries in that
county by legislative act and the
proponents of CLARK" county have
introduced a bill setting aside the
lower half of Lincoln county as the
new Clark county. There seems lit
tie opposition to this measure
Nearly every county has sent in e
bill or two relative to matters wholly
within the county and others are
to come. Some small improvements
have been made in counties in the
eastern part of the state and in
Ormsby county a $4,000 bond issue
is wanted. A bill to raise the saar-
les of all state officials has been in
trOduced but reported unfavorably
by the ways and means committee
of the senate.
Bills to come include acts on av-
erytning that the g. legislators and
their constituents think need fixing.
The banking act, the railroad COM
mission amendments and the tax
laws are yet to come and it is possi-
BILE they will be put off until we'll
along in the session. The code com
mission bill is to come as is one to
revise the practice in the supreme
conrt, which it is stated will receive
some opposition.

shall be carried out at this session.
1t is possible that the third week
will be the time for introduction Of
number of bills from all quarters
and the real work of the session will
begin with these.
Meantime the members of the
legislature and the attaches are en-
joying life in the prettiest city in
the state and are making things liv-
lier than usual with parties and all
sorts of amusements. A great many
went to Reno when the legislature
adjourned Friday evening and will re-
turn Monday morning. 1t is possible
that both branches of the legisla-
ture will adjourn the 18th at noon out
of respect to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln and memorial program
has been arranged by DR.. Stubbs, at
the University in Reno.
No definite plan has been arranged
in this city to hold any sort of mem
Orial exercises in honor of the Tooth
anniversary of the great emancipa
tor for fear they might interfere
with those being prepared in Reno.
The first two weeks Of the session
have not been very much different
from the first two weeks of any ses
sion, despite the recommendations of
the Governor that both branches
get down to business as quickly as
possible.
One of the most important matters
to come up will be the adjustment
of the board of revenue and assess
Ors and a bill being drawn will place
the task of Ievying railroad assess
ments upon the members of tne rail
road commission.

Runnina For the Car.

If you feel like emulating Sherlock Holmes try your luck occasionally when you see some one run for a street car. It's a good, easy way to deter mine the previous training and the present occupation of the subject.
 You will see one fellow dash easily toward the car with a long, swinging stride that usually means athletics, but no special training In the sprint. The old time college runner can be picked out by the way he throws his knees in front, like a high bred trotter.
 Some waddle and you must relegate them to the general category of "busy business men" whose duty to the desk has robbed them of wind and waist Others are getting more than their share of avoirdupois, but in spite of that manage to show you that they are not out of It by any means.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH
 OUR COURTS.

When in the fall of 1907 Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landts of the fed eral court of the district of Illinois imposed a fine of s29.24OOOo on the Standard oil company for accepting rebates from the Chicago < Alton railroad. it caused a thrill of satisfae- ton among the plain people of the United States. At last justice had been doue-a punishment had been made to fit the crime,
 But not so fast. The Standard on company promptly appealed the case and after automatically waiting until public appreciation should somewhat subside, the federal appellate court set aside the fine.
 WHY?
 No one has ever given a satisfac' tory reason and no one but the mem, bers of the appellate court even try. The Standard ou company admitted relating and it was proved they had issued false way bills to prevent com. petitors from getting wind ot their snap. There was not one valid reason for reversing Judge Landis sentence. True. the fine was stupen, duous; but what about the rebates continued for years, which resulted in untold ruin to hundreds of inde. pendent oil shippers2 What about the studied evasion of the laws on the statute books?
 The reversal created disgust and consternation in this country which will be increased by the refusal ot the supreme court yesterday to grant a rehearing in the case.
 Attorney General Bonaparte an nounces that the government will re try the case. The whole weary busi ness must be threshed out again with the Hklihood of the same result Why is it that rich indicators car seldom be convicted in this country Why is it that our highest courts have usually acted as a bulwark foI corporations and check on progres siye legislation?
 The Standard oil company was caught with the gOods"-yet they are today unpuuished. Ruef anC schmitz. the San Francisco grafters were released because the indictment failed to specify their exact vacations The higher courts Of the Unitet States are looked upon with suspicion by the people-rightfully so it woulc seem.
