Good Work

The State Railway Commission has
been at work again, with the result
that the people of Nevada will be able
from now OH to secure coal at dollar a
ton less than what they have been
paying heretofore. Through the efforts
of the commission, the railroad COM
panies have agreed to this reduction
provided the fuel dealers of the state
will give the consumer the full benefit
of it, and not attempt to make of it a
source of revenue for themselves.
Since the coal dealers are already
making profit of 1916 on coal costing
them 1925 Il ton, it is hard to see how
they can refuse to comply.
From it's very inauguration in office
the present State Railway Commission
has rendered splendid service, and this
latest achievement is not the least
among those which may be placed to it's
credit. Reno Reveille.

Some people say to a newspape man,
II wouldn't print that, II wouldn't
print this"
A lawyer cannot understand why q
story about the price of butter and eggs
would interest anybody; and grocer
can't understand why q story telling of
decision of the supreme court would
interest anybody. --
Science has never yet been able to
analyze the human brain. " =
And for that reason you do not know
what interests another of higher or
lower mentality than yourself; in fact
you do not know whether another has
q higher or lower mentality than
yourself. .r
And therefore you cannot understand
a great many things that appear in a
newspaper; or, in other words you can
not understand the motive in printing
it, IL o.

One class wants one class of news

SO on. r..
Newspapers are idealists in a way.
Newspapers nor editors do not ask the
public to do as they do, but to do as
they say.
A doctor knows medicine; lawyer
knows law; a preacher knows the Bible;
q dentist knows molar; blacksmith
knows pig-iron; a jeweler knows jewel,
ETC., but the newspaper man, he poor
soul must know it all, and be able to
tell it all, and tell it in a way that every

it.
How is a newspaper going to please
everybody at the same time in the

alike3
How is a newspaper going to dissect
something that million years of
scientific research has failed to an

The way to enjoy q ''bum" story is
to read it, and then instead of complain

WEDNESDAY, JULY ID, 1909
Changes Since July 4, I776

II should like to come back to the
earth hundred years from now to see
what changes science, art and politics
would bring in the interval, said
Benjamin FRANKLIN shortly before his
death in 1890. It was characteristic
remark. 1t was in line with the aspira-
ton of thoughtful persons in all ages
of the world. But what would the
American who died on July 4, 1910,
chink if he should be permitted to take
L glance at his country today2 The
thirteen struggling British colonies of
his time--for the Declaration of indie
pendence was merely desire, which
was not transmitted into fact until
several years of hard tighting-have
grown into nation of forty-six states
The 100000 Americans of that day
have expanded into 9O,OOO,OOO. That
thin fringe of settlers along the Atlantic
'eaboard from New Hampshire to
Georgia. l33 years ago. has spread
across q continent and has advanced to
the Gulf of Mexico. The country now
fronts on three oceans instead of one, as
in those days, and it has dependencies
in two of them.

Instead of advocating a capitol. this

SURE REMEDY FOR HIccoucHs.
Science at Last Has Devised Cure for
Troublesome Complaint.

Did you ever take nine swallows of
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time some one scared
the hiccoughs away by telling you of a
whipping due for some meanness?
Well science has been studying hic-
coughs and caught the hiccoughs by
the "nape Of the neck" The nine
swallows of water had a little science
In it. and so did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists IN
pressing down TO numbness the nerve
that connects the stomach, heart, lungs
and brain. the pneumogastric nerve
The pressure partially and locally
paralyzes this nerve and of necessity
the hfccoughlng must cease.
Have the hiccoughlng patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
OF the neck relaxed as much as pos
slble. Grasp both sides of the neck
somewhat toward the back part and
press down steadily and as hard as the
subject may permit for about one min
ute, having the patient work the head
from side to side. Within about one
minute the nerve will be numbed and
rested and the spasmodic motion will
cease. 1t may require longer pressure
is some cases, but the result is sure
b patience is maintained.

which will either invoke a veto or
compel further delay in tariff revision.
Even should reasonable compromise
be agreed upon in conference there is
no guaranty that 1t would be accepted
by the senate; the. tariff discussion
would therefore continue possibly un-
til the midsummer discomforts drove
the statesmen from the capital ana
The tariff remain an unsettled ques-

BILE the Congress with sharp remain
der of the neglect of their duties.
The big eastern manufactures must
await a decision on the tariff before
making extensive plans for the future
Even dealers in raw material are
handicapped by uncertainty. Thus
all branches of trade are suffering
from the delay of Congress in reach
ing a conclusion.
The country is slowly recovering
from the depression of year ago
and would now be in condition OF
great prosperity, if the tariff reyis-
ion were out Of the way.
