LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN.

If what Editors Rice and league of the Financial News of Reno
said about Judge Langan is correct, the people of Nevada will sin
cerely join with them in the contempt they feel for Langans court.
We have no sympathy for that toadying attitude which dscerns an
odor of sanctty in a court of law. In a good many instances there
is a strong scent of corruption about such tribunals. Courts are to be
respected and revered only as they administer the laws of the land
fearlessy, conscientiously and without bias.
If, on the other hand, Messrs. Rice and league have published
their offending article in a spirit of undertaking sensatonalism,
without foundation for the statements made, they merit severe cen
sure and are Justly in contempt of court.
Let the truth be known by the people of Nevada in regard to the
closed banks over which this controversy has arisen!
1t has been openly charged that the senatorial makeup OF the
committee appointed by the last legislature to investigate the failure
of the State Bank and Trust company did everything in their power
to smother the truth and actually falsifed the senate record book with
that purpose in view. 1t is significant that the parties involved have
never replied to this charge. Was it a matter of guilty as charged
or merely a feeling of contempt for the people of Nevada?
Now come Editors league and Rice of the Mining Financial News
and openly charge that the receiver of the closed Nye and Ormsby
County banks is not honestly administering the duties entrusted to
him and that Judge Langan. who appointed this receiver, must know
that this is the case.
III is within the province of Governor Dickerson to appoint a
committee which shall thoroughly investigate this bank scandal he
should do SO at once. Probe to the bottom of this matter in the in
terests of depositors of the closed banks and of the honor of our
state.
If Messrs. league and Rice go to Jail for telling the truth in
the interests of the people, other newspaper men of Nevada will be
likely to accompany them thither. Many good men have been in
jail
The judiciary should be the first great bulwark against oppression
of the great mass of the people. Very frequently in this country
they are used in the interests of the privileged minority as instru-
ments of oppression against the great majority -Rhyolite Bulletin.

INVESTIGATE THE BANK SCANDAL.

We are glad to note the fact that a number OF the state news
papers agree with the Bulletin in regard to the necessity of having
Governor Dickerson appoint a non-partisan committee to thorough
ly investigate the charges made by Messrs Rice and league, of the
Reno Mining and Financial News, against Judge Langan.
Such a committee should also include within its scope of oper-
alton a rigid investigation of the State Bank and Trust company
Such an investigation was smothered at the last session of the leg
islature. Are men who rob bank depositors and betray the conf
dence of their patrons to be placed above the law and not be held
amenable to It's penalties? Such a condition of affairs is a hundred
times worse than the anarchy SO often referred to by the press
when a mob of strikers parade the streets and overawe strike
breakers. For the latter violate the law openly while the former
do their work insidiously in the dark. with the besttrained legal
talent to assist them.
Governor Dickerson should act at once and appoint a commit
tee which shall investigate and get at the truth in both the State
Bank and Trust company failure and that of the Nye and Ormsby
county banks. Watch carefully the actions of those who would OBJ
ject to the truth being known about these matters. No honest man
and makes no difference whether that man be a Judge upon the
bench, a state official or a banker-ean have aught to fear from a
disclosure of the truth.-Rhyolte Bulletin.

EFFECTIVE TODAY.

Today marks the date when the wildcat law takes effect. Hence
forth every certificate that is issued must be stamped according to
the terms of the law, which makes it imperative on the issuing COM
pany to state whether or not the certificate represents treasury or
promotion stock. Some question has arisen as to the application of
the statute to former issues Of stock or the stock of companies that
were organized on or before the fifteenth of April, but the best auth
critics agree that ouch issues are not affected, as it is impossible for
any one to determine at this late day what class of stock is repre-
scented by certificates put out two and three years ago. It would be
manifesty unjust to insist upon the old certificates having the
stamp, as it is not within the range of probability that any man or
set of men would be capable of discriminating.
Most of the early stocks were put out in such GUAM
titles that the only record kept was the stub of the stock book. The
new law does not make any provision for a reissue of stock, and
therefore in the absence of speci regulations, it is assumed that the
old certificates will not have to bear any stamp or mark such al is
required by new issues.

BUY STOCKS NOW

Russell Sage, one of the most successful hnanciers in the United
States once said; THE best way to make money is to buy a good
stock cheap and then know when to sell"
Seems to he a theory that would fit the stocks Of Tonopah and
Goldheld at the present time. Securities that have sold in former
days for several dollars a share can now be purchased at a ridicu-
lously low figure, and which bought at the present quotation will
within a short time bring the investor a handsome profit on the
money spent.
The general condition of the mines in this city has never looked
better and the treasures of the companies are in an excellent shape.
Now is the time for the people with limited means to invest for the
day Of the wildcat in Nevada has passed away and the mines in this
locality have been proven. New lines of development work are be-
ing pursued and the properties are being worked in a systematic
manner, a way that appeals to the miner employed therein.
Every afternoon the market quotations are eagerly scanned by the
miners coming from their labors and in the majority of these cases.
the miner generally holds shares in the mine in which he is en-
ployed, He has confidence in the property and is willing to risk his
small capital waiting for an advance.
With a knowledge of the mines of Tonopah and Goldheld we
say-"Buy stocks now"

AN INJUSTICE TO THE INDIANS.

Hereafter the Indians of Nevada will be forced to pay a license
before they will be allowed to fish and hunt. This act was 81 decreed
by the last Legislature when they passed the measure requiring all
persons who wished to hunt or fish to secure a license.
The Indians who lived in this state before the advance of civtH-
cation traversed on their boundaries and gradually forced them into
confines that would in the pioneer days have been the cause of an
upraiang, will now have to pay for the privilege of existing.
1t is probable that the law will be declared unconstitutional on
the grounds that the Indians are wards of the government and the
measure makes no provisions for them. As it is several of the game
wardens have declared that they would not arrest the Indians for
hunting and fishing without a license, for they are entitled to roam at
will over the domain they were the sole inhabitants at one time.
Many of the Indians have no means with which to exc out their exs-
tence and derive the necessities of life from the streams of the state
They are poverty stricken to the extreme and if forced to pay an un-
just license would suffer a hardship.
While we do not think the provision relating to the exemption Of
the Indians from paying the license was omitted by the legislature
intentionally. we suggest that every justice who has an Indian
brought up before him for fishing or hunting without complying with
the law, promptly discharge the defendant.

THEIR HEART BOWED DOWN.

Frank Daniels, early in his career, was principal in a small COM
pany that was touring the provinces" Business had been poor and
eating had become a luxury. 1t was only the cheering knowledge
that the new opera house at Ticonderoga, New York, had been almost
sold out for their performance that kept them together.
Wait till we get to Ticonderoga," the manager would say ITO n
one who family suggested the price of a breakfast.
Finally they did reach Ticonderoga. 1t was eventde and a osy

Reluctant English Courtesy.

That gifted publicity man, A.
Toxin Worm, made the preposterous
claim in London, last winter, that he
would see to it that there was no
"booing" of the actors at the OPEN
ing performances of Il. II. Sothern.
This popular English diversion con-
sists of believing through the hands
and no first night" is supposed to
be complete without these vocal in
terruptions.
On the night of Mr.. Sothern's first
performance some forty-five evil
looking men, bearing black-j jacks in
their sleeves were distributed
throughout the gallery and pit There
was no interruption from the audi
ence that night, but only the occa-
sional dull, thud of black-jacks upon
knuckles. Every hand that was
raised, as preliminary to the "boo-
ing" process, received a quick blow.
Mr.. Worn says that he never saw so
many limp hands, and so many be-
wildered faces assembled in any one
place as he saw that first night among
the crowd that left the theatre.
At the close of the week that dignf-
fed journal the Times, commented
gravely upon the growing courtesy of
English audiences toward American
actors, and witnessed the case of six
productions by Mr. Sothern without
a single boo. Success Magazine.

APreSent Day Utopia

Hugo Parton, writing in the Out
ing Magazine, says that the happiest
and most beautiful spot on earth to-
day is the island of Moorea, one of
the Sandwich Islands in the South
Seas. AS a contrast to strenuous
American methods this description
sounds alluring:
whenever you are thirsty a word
will send 1.-the, brown body scramb-
ling up tall palm tree trunk and in
two minutes a green cocoanut is
ready for you to quaff-the nectar
of the Polynesian gods. 1t is worth
the trip down here to eat the native
'vittals,' for you get at every meal
things you never tasted before, and
each seems better than its predeces-
sor. To see your dinner of fresh
water shrimps, sharks fins and
roasted sea .urchins. The bananas
you eat-there are eleven varieties
baked. raw, fried, dried, grow

the breadfruit. the pineapples and
about everything else on the board.

cred excellent fodder for cattle
For perfection of the human body
the Tahitian is unexcelled, if indeed
he is anywhere equalled. They are
a large race. both men and women
being noticably taller and more fully
developed than Anglo-Saxons. Every
man looks like a picked athlete with
sloping shoulders and barred chests
crowd of them together reminds
one of the scene in a "locker build
ing" toward the end of the fall when
the varsity squad is narrowed down
and the afternoons practice is just
over. ] doubt if any Society Islander
ever went through a whole day irHhi s
life without having a wreath of flow
ers on his head or 2 blossom behind
his ear. The love of flowers is in
nate with man, woman and child:
they can't pass through a patch OF
woods without emerging with a gar

ers on their hats, in their hair. be-
hind their ears-and their life is an
almost unbroken sequence of gay
moods. Scarcely a native on the ISL

greets you with a courteous smile
and the welcoming words Ta-ora-na'
