tiary is another indisputable fact. But had the board of directors
of the State Bank and Trust company had a saving realization of
their duty to the public as directors of the bank corporation, and
either exercised personal supervision of its affairs, or hired expert a-
countants to go over its books from time to time, there would never
have been a bank failure with all of its distressing accompanyments.
Negligence, in the law, is frequently as great a crime as actual per-
formance of some felony. The train dispatcher who forgets or ne
elects to give the proper orders to engineer and conductor of a
passing train, which is thereby plunged into a disastrous collision,
is deemed as responsible for this wreck and loss of life and property
as though he had deliberately thrown a switch and sent the train to
destruction The train case and the bank case are parallel Though
the directors had no criminal intent or knowledge. they were pas
sive participants in crime. Some one was responsible for the
wrecking of the State Bank and Trust company. T. B. Hickey was
the arch-criminal. He should be made to atone for the misery he
has caused. And those whose inachon has enabled Hickey to beg
gar the working man should come in for their share of the punish
ment, and at least should show their manhood by not trying to block
the wheels of justice. Our courts are fair, and if the directors have
done no wrong, they should not object to having the affairs of the
defunct bank aired to. the smallest detail, knowing that if they have
done no wrong, they will receive no punishment. The action of the
directors in trying to dissolve the receivership-at the last hour
when for months they have accepted it in silence. looks bad.

One reads much these days about mans inhumanity to man:
OF mans prompt forgehulness of favors or kfndnesses rendered.
and for this reason a great catastrophe, like the one which has Just
devastated Italy, is made to stand out n the pages of history in
letters written as by fire, for aside from it's horrors. it is always ac-
companied by deeds of individual heroism and sacrifice and of ma
kind may be engrossed in selfish ambitions and works, there is deep
down in every heart a chord which may by some means be touched.
and when touched, vibrates n harmony with that great keynote
preached by the Galllean- Love thy neghbor as myself"
America, in the spring of 1906, was Mortified BY the great
double disaster of earthquake and fire in San Francisco, and as
soon a the stupefaction resultant upon the news of the calamity
has begun to pass, every hamlet, every county, every great city, cor
poration and interest made haste to pour its relief toyard the
stricken people. These contributions were more than the widows
mite in many cases. There were brave men and women, not able
to give financial assistance, who went to San Francisco, and put
seepless days and nights in amidst the fire and ruin and misery, Civ
ing relief and healing to the manned and Scared; one man who was
destined to be one of the great medical lights of the west passed
away not long afterward as a result of his exposure, labor, and sac
rfce in the behalf of the stricken people of the city by the Golden
Gate-and there were thousands Of instances of heroic personal work
and sacrifice which came in the routine performance of duty which
are no less worthy of chronicle than are deeds of years gone by
which now live in song and story.
The passing of 1908 was marked by perhaps the greatest caam-
iy Of history, in Italy. San Francisco has not forgotten. and already
her contributions have passed the 100000 mark. The United
day scores of Americans who were there as tourists are devoting
their means and their personal efforts n a great work of succor. The
United States and San Francisco remembers the outpouring of the
nations for the relief of San Francisco, and it will not be said that
this debt has not been repaid with interest when the relief work
for Italy shall have been summed up. The Italians are not of our
blood, and many are inclined to look upon them Is our interiors; but
they are a part of the great brotherhood of mankind, and in south
ern Italy today are being done deeds of as great. herolsm and sac
rhce as any in the history OF the world. The world sorrows with
Italy. even as 1T sorrowed with the United States when San Francis
g was smftten. No one can tell where the next blow will fall. And
IN the meantime. III we can help, let that help go forth.

GOLDFIELD is INTERESTING

And now GoldfeId wants the state capitol The mining camp,
tired of the recent calm that has enveoped it, is again trying to get
the kindly light of free advertising directed in its direction and is
accordingly planning to ask that the seat of the state government
be transferred down there.
Goldfeld is always interesting It always has something up its
sleeve to amuse IL not to instruct, and this latest proposal is along
the same old line which has made a certain inelegant expression
synonymous with much of Nevadas conversation. Goldfeld has no
thought of really getting the capitol, but it feels that a little shout
ing just now would not be amiss and would tend to dissipate the
its zenith.
Il doubtful If the capital will ever be moved. There is no
doubt but that the natural place for IT is in Reno, but there is a
sentimental feeling about it all which would rob Carson to its only
claim to glory.
Who is there so ruthless as to snatch from the old town the
little heritage that remains of its once nearsplendor? Who is
there that would turn the quiet little town into a village really de-
serted? Surely It is not Reno. for Renos heart is large and COM
passionate. Reno is not ruthless.
And so the state will watch GoIdfeds little byplay with the
feeling of an audience that wishes to be entertained. If GoldAeld
can stir up a little exeitment and make Carson believe that it ought
at least provide a decent restaurant for the convenience of those who
legtslate. all will not have been in van.-Reno Gazette.
The application Of the directors of the State Bank and Trust
company for the dissolution of the recefvership. to which they
agreed at the time Frank Wndes was appointed receiver, is a pecu-
liar proceeding. This action is no doubt a result of the suit
brought by Wildes against the directors of the bank for the purpose
of ascertaining just who was responsible for the i'll advised loans,
and other unsavory business connected with the bank prior TO its
failure. While IL is more than probable that the directors of the
bank are men of integrity, and would not have sanctioned or al
lowed any violation of the law by the men in direct control of the
bank, yet it is not to be denied that these men were guilty Of neg
hgence in trusting so implicitly to the statements made by the bank
president IS 70 Its Affairs, and never taking the time and trouble to
personally Investigate Just what the bank was doing. A clause Of
the complaint upon which the suit against the directors was based
reads that the said defendants as directors and corporation, neg
hgently and supineiy relied implicitly and entirely and exclusively
upon the statements and representations of the said president and
subordinate cfRcsrs."
That is what the directors have been sued upon. That T. Z.
Hickey should be brought to trial promptly, and that a fair and i'm
minded men. laying all prejudice aside. And that when convicted.

1t has come to the attention of the Tonopah Bonanza that at the
coming session of the state legislature the Esmerada county dele
cation, headed by the Goldheld contingent. will bring up the matter
of having the state capitol removed from Carson City to the southern
city of Goldfeld. The Esmeraldans have been making no noise
about the matter, but they have been pulling their wires quietly.
and the way the leak started was by reason of a too jealous Es-
meralda assembyman approaching a Bonanza representative on the
matter, with a view to gaining information as to whether "Nye eoun-
ty would stand in" with Esmeralda on the removal. 1t seems that
the Goldheld law makers are actually in earnest in the matter; for
If they succeed in their plan, it would mean that they would hold
their jobs, or better ones, for life. and in addition it would be a
great thing for Goldfeld.
As everlasting and persistent boomers" the Goldhed people re
certainly entitled to the admiration of the whole state, and the new
ambition of the southern camp is certainly laudable, looking at it
from the Goldfeld standpoint. The proposition. even if lost-which
it will be--win result in a great deal of advertising for Goldfeld,
and advertising is good for any community. If the proposition
should by any happenstance win-and one can never account for the
vagaries of a legislative body or predict what its me mbers will do
Goldfeld would certainly be cit" There's no denying that fact.
But the capitol will not be moved. and the Esmeralda proposed
agitation will not amount to a S much as a good. hearty sneeze-t
will die a-bornin.
No. dear brothers of Esmeralda. While We m lost in contem-
platve admiration of your transcendent aversion to sefenaeement
(which is a polite way of spelling "g-a-Ll0. and which trait has
made OF Goldheid a city of which all of we southern Nevadans are
proud, We can not stand in" We help to pay the state taxes up
here. and that little bagatelle of some one and a half million dol
lars which it would cost to remove the capitol to Goldfeld-and
which would have to be paid by the taxpayers-is a large sized fly in
the ointment. True, the capitol where it is placed is hardly more,
nor less, than a place from whence all tax levys flow; furnishing a
selves from their families and business and enabling them, for a fort
night or two, by day to compacently stroke the smooth mug of ear
craftsmanship tbut not too near), and by night to in many cases
emulate the deeds of certain gentlemen, long since dead, and which
we're recorded by a venerable and ancient writer gentleman by
name of Boccaeio.
We have no assurance that the capitol. located at Goldfeld.
would be of more use. We are paying enough now, in taxes. And
We do not see that after spending a million dollars for the removal
of the state home for itinerant politicians from Carson to Goldfed
we would be any nearer a solution of that ever perplexing and cost
ly problem: why is a state ohctal?"

Death of E. w. CObleigh.
Was the Donator of a Public Library at
Lynd0nviile.

Was the Donator of a Public Library at
Lyndonville.
The passing away of Eber w. Cob
leigh of Lyndonville which occurred on
Saturday, Sept. 25, at about 100 p. IN,
removed one of that towns prominent
citizens, and one to whom the town will
ever feel a lasting debt of gratitude. Mr..
Cobleigh was modest and uuassuming
in manner, and the outward facts of his
long life were uneventful and may be
briefly chronicled A native of Sutton,
he was born on farm on the North
Ridge 81 years ago, May IL, 1927. For
the first 81 years of his life he remained
quietly on the farm at home. He first
married Betsey, daughter Of Nathaniel
Noyes and bought farm near his boy
hood home, whsre he lived seven years.
He then went to Boston into business,
and spent ten successful years there, lay
ing the the foundations of what, with
New England thrift and prudence, be-
came very comfortable fortune. In
Boston Mrs. Cobleigh died. and her hus-
band soon returned to his Vermont
home spending the next few years at
West Burke. Here he married Content
B. Watson on June II, 1873, and they
moved to Lyndon buying the Henry
Page farm on the Burke road. Their
only child, Eva, was born here. After a
few years Mr.. Cobleigh built new
House which remained his home until
death. Mrs. Cobleigh died Feb. 10,
1899 and the only daughter followed
her soon passing away Oct. %, 1904
after several years of invalidism. For
the last few years Mr.. Cobleigh, who
has been in failing health for some time
was tenderly cared for by Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Lynch. On Monday of last week
he suffered paralytic shock, from which
he never rallied. Funeral services were
held at his late home Monday afternoon
and largely attended Many and beau
tiful flowers were contributed by friends,
Rev. |. M. MacLaughlin conducted the
services, and the bearers were F. E. Cob
leigh, J. c. Eaton, J. T. Gleason and O..
W. Chesley. The library was closed dur
ing the time of the funeral, as a tribute
of respect to his memory.

The browning achievement of his life,
the act for which the people of Lyndon
will ever hold his name in respect and
honor, was the building of the beautiful
structure which bears the name Of the
Cobleigh Public Library. After the death
of his daughter Eva, having no near
ties of kindred, Mr.. Coblejgh wished to
do something with his money for the
people of his own town. After due con-
sideration, he decided the greatest need
was library building and accordingly
drew a check for $4,000 and presented
to the town treasurer. He afterwards
contributed about $2400 more towards
the lot and furnishing OF the building.
The library was completed and dedicated
an. l, 1907, Mr. Cobleigh being present
to enjoy the exercises and meet the peo-
pie assembled. He was wise in not wait
ing until death to help his town, but had
the pleasure of watching his gift grow,
and of SEE, ing and hearing the enjoyment
and value which it has brought to our
people.
