THE HIGH SCHOOL CONTROVERSY

The bill introduced by Senator Bell
in the Legislature to postpone the vote
On the high school site until the next
general election would seem to be a
very happy solution of the problem
To hold a special election would doubt
necessary buildings for the school, and
this expense would nave to be met at
a time when the county is not prepared
for it. and would probably require an
issue of bonds.
Upon first hearing the news Of the
introduction of the bill our progressive
neighbor to the south was inclined to
look upon the move as a subterfuge to
beat them out of the coveted prize,
and were accordingly against the
measure. But it is probable that by
this time they have come to take a
more dispassionate view of the situa-
ton and will look upon it from the
broad view of public policy.
BY postponing the question until the
next general election, Lovelock has
nothing to lose. If they could win now,
tney will be able to win then, and by
thus waiting their taxpayers will be
spared a considerable burden.
As a matter of course, Winnemucca
wants the high school. and believes il
can advance logical arguments to con-
vince the taxpayers that it should be
located here. But in this country the
majority rules, and if the voters and
taxpayers want the institution located
at Lovelock. Winnemuccans viii wish
it good luck and heartily support it.

LATEST GOSSIP AT
GOTHAM

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-7As a result of
the general complaint against the high
prices of food stuIfs a competent in
W stigator set out last week to learn
just how much foundation there was
to the stories. Not only was the in
vestigator a~stounded, but the published
results of his Investigations have
~astounded New York. He used for
comparison the prices prevailing at the
height of the civil war when every
commodity was at a premium, and the
war time prices averaged lower than
the New York prices of today.
No one has yet come forward with
anything like a satisfactory explana
tion of this condition. Under all eco
monte laws which have governed in
the past, this should have beer a year
of low prices. Crops have been
abundant, it has been a twelvemonth
of financial stringencv and there has
been peace throughout the world. In
the past this combination always has
made for low prices, and it is up to the
economist to explain why the natural
order of things has been reversed this
year.
1t is all too true, of course, that in

ANTI-JAPANEsE CONTROVERSY

On account of the strong pressure
brought to bear from Washington, the
anti-Japanese bill introduced in the
legislatures Of Nevada and California
have been done away with.
In this natter the legislatures of
the two states have exhibited a proper
patriotism. No state should assume an
attitude that would embarrass the
Federal government. with the risk of
involving the entire nation in war.
The incident, however, brings to
mind the fact that in this one respect
our federation of states seemingly has
a weak spot. Any single state may
assume an attitude towards a + reign
government that will ~precipitate war,
and the federal government is helpless
to interfere, except by moral suasion.
But never but once before within the
memory of the present generation has
the action of a state tended to provoke
hostilities with a foreign nation. That
was some 25 or 80 years ago when a
mob in New Orleans lynched a number
OF Italian subjects. Inc matter was
finally settled without resorting to
arms by the state of Louisiana paying
a large sum to the families of the we
tins of the mob s vengeance.
For many years the states of the
Pacific slope have borne the burden Of
Oriental immigration with remarkable
fortitude. That they have finally been
stung into showing their resentment
through legislative action is not to be
wondered at. But when called upon
by the president to desist, as true
American patriots they acquiesced with
good grace, and it is to be hoped that
a remedy for the evil may now be
found by the Federal government.

The latest thing in inventions is a
photographic attachment for tele-
phones. Both ends Of a telephone con
versation are recorded on a steel disc.
This is placed in a reproducing machine
and not only are the exact words heard
again, but they are heard in the natur
al tone of voice.
The device is expected to meet with
instant success in the business world.
It's usefulness to stock brokers wiz
serve as an illustration. A broker re
ceives and gives many of his orders
by phone. There are no permanent
records of these orders, and endless
disputes result often involving law
suits in which it is a ease of the brok
er's word against that of his custome~.
The telephone record would obviate all
this. 1t also is suggested that a sus-
picious wife could have one secretly
attached to her husbands office tele-
phone and save expense of hiring
private detectives.

Now the lament goes up that Fifth
avenue is not what it used to be in
the good old days-the days before
the automobile zane to supplant the
horse. In times gone by the avenue
and Central park used to be the after
noon parade of fashion. Handsomely
gowned in the richly upholstered car
riages gorgeous with liveried coach
men and footmen went forth TO gaze
and be gazed at. The glistening, high
stepping horses paraded majestically
and humble folk who went afoot be
held in awe and wonder. But the auto
mobile has changed all this. When
women go a-motoring they do not wear
their finest raiment, and bundled up in
automobile coat and veil, it is impos
loon keeper from the wife of an Aston
bilt.
Nor is this all. Those of the really,
truly, ~sure-enough 1900" do not even
motor on Fifth avenue. The speed
laws are too great a nuisance. Instead.
they cross over to Long Island and cut
things loose along the country roads.
So the Fifth avenue parade has not
only lost its picturesqueness. but today
il is not even a parade of the socially
elect.

comes have not travelled upward at the
rate prices have. This applies to the
incomes of both rich and poor. The
former have had to give up many lux
uries. The latter have had to give up
many things they had regarded as
necessities, sufficient food being the
most vital of them. On the upper
west side fresh eggs are selling at o.
cents a dozen, a higher price thar they
ever reached in war times. Many fam
lies in New York live on an income Of
a dollar a day. They can't eat many
eggs. when eggs are selling at 5 cents
a piece. Tub butter brings 40 cents A
pound. Chickens bring as high as 30
cents a pound. and even picked side
pork the meat mainstay of the poor.
has advanced to 90 and % cents a
pound. The prices of beer have not
increased during the past year, but
they are enormously high as compared
with five years ago. Very few food
stuffs show a lower price and the gen
eral average is 20 to. % per cent high
err than even one year ago. The aver
age of incomes is lower today than II
was twelve months ago. Everyone he

A number of "old rogies' are quite
wrought up over a line of work that is
being done at the natural history mu-
scum in New York. Children, boys
and girls alike. are being taught t.
make pets of and fondle snakes and
toads and other reptiles of which man
has an instructive horror. The theory
s that children must be taught not to
fear these things. AS one professor
puts it-.sThey are Gods creatures
and as much entitled to human sym
pathy and understanding as birds nr
cats or any others of the lower
animals.
The old fogies-the term is applied
to them by thise who support this
latest educational fad-profess to be
unable to see that the snake and toad
have need of human sympathy and
understanding or that they will benefit
by them. They do believe to teach i
girl to be fond of snakes and toads Is
to take awev from her some of those
finer sensibilities that make a woman
creations highest work and to render
masculine in her views if it does no
thing more. They declare that to teach
a girl to coddle a toad is to unfit her
to mother a baby and they refuse to
believe that even the toad enjoys Il.
Thus doth progress have to battle
against the prejudice of old-fashioned
ideas.

day ye may call for any dish Of meat,
roast, fried or sodden, fish both small
and great, venison and fowl. If friends
come upon a sudden wearied with
travel to a citizens house and they be
loath to wait for curious preparations
and dressings Of fresh meat let the
servant run to the water side, where
all things that can be desired are at
hand" This particular place Of public
cookery apparently did an indoor as
we'll as an outdoor trade, for Fttz-
stephen further described it as being
used both day and night by multi
tudes Of soldiers or other strangers
who refresh themselves to their con-
tent on roast goose, the fowl Of Afri-

China, with all its vast population,
boasts not quite two dozen daily pa
pers, but among them are the two old
est papers in the world. The Kin Pan
used to be considered by Europeans
the oldest paper, but it has been issued
a mere thousand years. The Using Pao,
or Pekin News, was first published 5OO
years before the Norman conquest and
has been issued without intermission
for nearly 1,4OO years. The Using Pao
has the appearance Of yellow backed
magazine of twenty-four octave pages,
each page containing seven columns,
consisting of seven "characters." "
Two editions are published-an edi-
ton de luxe for the court and the up
per classes at a cost of "a cents a
month, and an edition inferior in paper
and printing, costing 16 cents month.
It has q circulation of about 10000 and
is really the principal paper Of China,
chronicling the movements Of the en-
peror and Of the court and printing
the ministerial reports. It is probably
the most exact newspaper in the world.

Told Il In Rhyme.

The late Rev. John Skinner, author
Of annals of Scottish Episcopacy,"
was first appointed to charge in Mon
trose, whence he was removed to
Banff, and ultimately to Forfar. Aft
er he had left Montrose it reached his
ears that an Ill natured insinuation
was circulating there that he had been
induced to leave this town by the
temptation Of better income and of
fat pork, which, 1t would appear, was
plentiful in the locality Of his new in
cumbency. Indignant at such an as
persion, he wrote letter, directed to
his maiigners, vindicating himself
sharply from it, which he showed to
his grandfather, John Skinner of
Langside, for his approval. The old
gentleman objected to it as too lengthy
and proposed the following pitby sub
stituta:
Had Skinner been Of carnal mind,
As strangely We suppose,
Or had he even been fond of swine
He'd ne'er have left Montrose.
