WORD TO DEMOCRATS

The activity of certain saloon
men in town in the interest of
Governor Dickerson goes q long
way to convince us of the truth of
the charge that he has made an
alliance with the elements that do
not make for the welfare and hap
piness of the people of Nevada.
His campaign here, so far as we
can see, is being managed by re-
representatives. Of the saloon and its
allied interests.
While we have nothing to say
against the men who are fighting
for Dickerson and freely grant
them the same right of opinion as
we claim for ourself, yet we be-
lieve the success Of the element
they represent will be a long step
backward in the progress of this
state toward a higher and better
citizenship and happier people.
This is a matter that should
deeply concern the solid, substantial
democratic voters of the county. If
they believe in a higher and better
zenship and oppose the domino
tion of the saloon and its allied in
terests in the politics of the state,
they should cast their ballots next
Tues day for Frank r. Nicholas.
Democrats, think this matter
over before casting your ballots
next Tuesday.

SWISS JAIL LIFE EASY;
CONVICTS WON'T ESCAPE

Prison life in Switzerland is a
luxury instead of a punishment.
The comic opera Jail at Thorbourg,
where the inmates did as they
pleased, has only recently been
suppressed by the Berne authorities,
yet details are published of
similar institution at Sarnen, in
the canton of Oswald.
Sarnen is apparently an ideal
penal resort, for the happy criminals
who are sentenced to terms of
detention in that institution have
far better time than hundreds of
free" Swiss citizens who are
forced to earn their bread.
A correspondent of Lal same
paper states that he was pass nl
through Sarnen when he saw q
number of men dressed in dark
blue clothes with white stripes
walking about the village SIN king.
and joking.
Others were seated in a cafe,
and some were working in leisurely
manner carrying bricks for the con-
struction of a new building. To
his establishment the correspondent
found that the men were convicts
from the cantonal prison close by.
These convicts are permitted t.
leave the prison early in the MORN
ing and find work around Sarnen
or walk about the country until
nightfall, when they return of their
own accord to the prison.
They are unaccompanied by
warders, and there is nothing to
prevent their escaping, but they
are far too comfortable to think
relinquishing their quarters, for
they have as much liberty as 9th, r
men and are, moreover, fed ar d
lodged for nothing.
The money earned by these con-
victs who choose to work can be
spent as they like. One convict
who is employed as gardener by d
local magistrate sends his monthly
salary to his wife and childen.
Two of the convicts "escaped'
some two weeks ago, but they
eventually returned +, the prison
in half famished condition, and
after being severely reprimanded
they were allowed to return to
their apartments.
