A petition is being circulated in
Reno by Mrs Earl Williams, which
she intends to present to the Nevada
legislature for passage this session.
The bill which Mrs. Williams has in
her possession provides that a
mother shall have control of her
daughters until they are 21 years of
age instead OF is as the law now
provides. II Is claimed that this bill
Is framed for the purpose OF saving
wayward girls. as II Is urged that II
a mother can control her daughters
under the law until they are 81
years old they will seldom stray from

Final Vote Will be Taken
Some Talk of Surprise
Being Sprung.

fully expressed that Newlands will
receive the vote of the entire legis-
lature, sixty-seven in number.
AS the legislature stands there are
thirty-four Democrats in the assem-
bly, and twelve in the senate, giving
the Democratic nominee forty-six
votes on joint ballot, but even if the
Republicans cast a courtesy vote for
some other candidate, Newlands will
be elected. Newlands has served
Nevada eighteen years and during
the past six years devoted most of
his attention to the reclamation laws
and it was through his efforts that
Nevada was the first state to receive
benefits through these laws. A tele-
gram received from Newlands today
from Washington stated he would
not reach Nevada until early in
March, as he wished to devote his
time to the bill relieving the settlers
on the Carson river reclaimed dis
trict. He expects to be in Nevada,
however, before the session ad-
journs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The White
Star liner Republic, which, in colli-
sion with the steamer Florida of the
Lloyd-Italian line today during a
fog, was abandoned at o'clock to-
night. Grave anxiety prevailed here
today following the report of the
collision at sea, as the Republic car
ried 761 persons. The wireless tele-
graph played an important part in
the grave incidents at sea; far from,
shore and proved its utility as has
never before been done. The news
came from the injured ship herself.
The wireless told of the rescue of the
Republics passengers, the condition
from time to time of the sinking
ship, and finally summoned aid from
the adjacent sea from the White
Star liner Baltic, French liner La
lorraine, Cunarder Lucania and rev.
enue cutter Asuchnet.
Tonight at O'Clock the wireless
brought reassuring news from Cap
tain Ransom of the Baltic. He said
the Republic Mas still afioat, and
that the Florida with her own people
and most of those from the Republic
were aboard, close to 1000 persons
in all nearby.
1t is presumed here that the load
of human freight aboard the Florida
will be transferred during the night,
the weather permitting. to the Baltic
La lorraine and Lucania, and that
all ships will stand together until the
revenue cutters and wrecking vessels

CARSON CITY, Jan. 23.-The Ne
vada legislature on Monday will bal
lot on the selection of Unified
States senator. Tuesday both branch
es will meet in joint session to take
the final ballot.
Francis G. Newlands, Democratic
nominee, will be the man chosen, as
he has support of both branches of
the legislature, which is Democratic
by safe majority. The election in
Nevada resembles the late results in
Oregon, as Newlands and his oppon-
ent, Flanagan, came before the peo-
pie on a popular vote, both agreeing
to stand by the results at the polls.
Newlands was the selection both by
popular vote and legislative mem
bers.
1t is not believed the Republicans
will nominate any candidate even for
a complimentary vote. Several hold
over senators expressed the opinion
that they were not bound by popular
vote agreement, but the opinion is

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Stric-

with the result that an amendment

THE county commissioners have
a notice in this issue of The Star
forbidding the dumping OF refuse
in Lost Canon. Just how far the
comm ssieuer's authority goes in
this matter we are unable to say,
but one thing is certain, and that
is that a halt should have been
called long ago to the practice OF
dumping refuse SO near the public
highway. The trustees of the
Town of Dolores should establish
4 dumping ground at sonic suila-
BILE place and then see that all otial
and refuse is dumped there and
not strung all along the street and
road between the dump ground
and the center of town.

HEALTH OFFICER CABELL. has
notice in this issue of The Star
asking property owners to clean up
about their premises. This matter
was brought up at the last meeting
of the town trustees and the Doctor
vas instructed to take the necessary
steps to a general cleanup of the
entire town. This is a wise step
and it is to be earnestly hoped that
the council will stand by the health
officer in the faithful performance
of his duties. Not only the mem
bers of the council but every citi-
zen of the town should do what he
or she can to make the town
healthy and presentible.

THE losses in transatlantic travel
last year are seen to be enormous,
when the figures Of the steamship
companies are considered. In 1905
the number OF passengers coming
to America was 635.ooo, which
was .o4S, 900 less than in the pre-
vious year. The number leaving
America was $4,000, or $4,000
more than in 1907. That is to say.
the steamship companies carried
almost million more passengers
in 1907 than in 1908, and the loss
to the companies in gross receipts
was $34, 900, ,oco. These huge
figures are just one illustration of
the fact that no nation liveth to
itself. When there is a panic in
the United States. the whole world
suffers. Commercial barometers in
every part of the earth indicate,
with swift and certain rise or fall,
the conditions of business in every
other part of the earth.

THE snAFRoTH IDEA.

The bill signed by Governor
Shafroth, providing for the pay
ment of campaign expenses by the
state, should have much more
important bearing upon political
evolution than the predicted expul-
sion of utility corporations from
election contests. And if Governor
Shafroth will now strengthen. and
not weaken, the administration of
the civil service law his service to
Colorado will be emphatic and cred
table. Gentlemen with an ambi
tion to figure as weary cynics will
doubtlessly speak of the new cam-
paign fund as another invasion of
"the barrel;" but as this fund pro-
vides that the people shall pay
direct for the expenses of candidates
who, theoretically, seek to serve
them in politics, the people will
find a new incentive for converting
that theory into actuality. Present
general opinion with the assump-
ton that political representatives
should ''pay for getting their own
jobs" and you guarantee continuity
to the pernicious system of "spoils
to the victors" of which the people
are always. and inevitably, the
victims. But present the people
with measure of the kind under
notice and you are adding increased
power to the machinery of efficient
democracy. For the great enemy
of democratic efficiency is not the
CRATER, or the boss. or the utility
corporations, but the failure of the
individual citizen to understand,
and act upon, his obligations. The
prosecution of grafters is not nearly
as important as the education of
men in those principles of democra-
cy that makes for sound govern
ment, and this bill of Governor
Shafroth's is an educational factor
of the highest value. We congrat-
ulate the Governor upon its inven-
tion and enactment.-Denver Post.

THE President is out for economy.
This country of ours has been
spending money so lavishly in the
last few years that, in spite of enor-
nous revenues, we have a national
expense which is greater than our
national income. Mr.. Taft wants
his cabinet officers to be, not mere
ly economical in spending the
money that comes to them, but
careful in asking for money from
Congress. This is not new note
in our national lie, but it is likely
to be sounded with new emphasis,
for the ultimate consumer" is
learning that the nations huge
expenditures come out of his
pocket. In some cases his wife is
learning it even more successfully
than he. The present tariff discus
sion has shown that "the tariff is
tax" and that the gloves and
stockings, the sugar and lumber
which everybody uses are more
costly than otherwise they would
be, because we are building battle
ships and public buildings and
supporting an army of office hold
ers and doing lot of other expen-
sive things. If we cannot save at
the spending end of our national
business, we may not expect to
save at the tax-gathering end. We
must have a tariff, and a high one,
if we insist on great sums to spend
on government enterprises.
