CAUSES AND Their REMEDIES

The census returns show de-
cided diminution of population in
the rural districts of many states.
This is due partly to the continu-
Gus drift to the cities, partly to
the great use of machinery in
farming thereby reducing the
amount of help needed on farm,
and partly to the fact that young
men go west to secure the cheaper
land there offered.
This decrease is to be deplored
for more than one reason. The
smaller the population the smaller
the amount of business done in
rural districts. This means
harder time for merchants and
business men generally and reflects
unfavorably upon the life of the
community.
There are three ways by which
the decrease may be stopped-by
reduced drift to the cities, the
staying of young men upon the
farm, and smaller farms. Proba.
bly, it is in this last the most effec-
tive remedy is to be found. Large
farms on which labor is supplanted
by machinery are not beneficial to
the community. Small farms with
more intensive farming will mean
far more people to the square
mile. and that means more trade
Tor the rural merchants. And
then, too, the greater productivity
Of the soil due to intensive farming
will mean greater wealth.-Ex-
change.

NOTICE--VOTERS .

i dwight L. Smith, republican
candidate for Superintendent of
Public Instruction. has annou need
himself as not being can ante
deluvian, nor one who takes every
opportunity to graft upon publ C
funds, nor seeker for rake-offs
from school supply men," and his
statement concerning the above is
in such terms that the readers
must understand from his insinu-
alton that his opponent, J. E..
Bray, is the embodiment of all such
offeni es.
Mr.. Smith distinctly shows the
"stripe" in him when he makes
such assertions. In the first place,
by "antedeluvian" he probably
refers to the years of experience
that Mr.. Bray has had in school
work and which Mr.. Smith has not
had advantage of as yet.
Mr.. Bray has had twenty-fv e
years of active service embracing
every grade and kind of sch DOL
work. Mr.. Smith has had no
experience in science work except
as teacher of science in the
Virginia City high school Mr..
Smith knows nothing of the
supervision of the great boulk of
school work as it is done by ninety
per cent of the children of the
state. Mr.. Bray knows, from
experience and professional
preparation, every phase of the
work. 1t should require but
little thought to determine your
choice for this position.
AS 10 the insinuated accusation
that Mr.. Bray is dishonest in his
use of public funds, we pass this
up to Mr.. Smith to prove. 1t is
foolish, malicious insinuation to
make in any campaign.
Mr.. Smith comes from a section
of Nevada that is bitter toward
Mr.. Bray for having done his duty
in compelling an honest census in
Virginia CITY at a time when that
city was accustomed to turning
in false and fraudulent census,
reports whereby it, had been
getting much more than its share
from both state and county sch DOL
funds. Smith has admitted that
citizens of Virginia City have
mislead him in the information
that the whole state is against
Supt. Bray.
The voters Of Elko county and
the state ought to weigh these facts
and vote for the man who is
obviously best prepared to build
up the school system of the state.
Mr.. Bray has proved himself the
man for the place.

JERUSALEM

What echoes that first locomotive
must have awakened in Jerusalem!
The echoes of 5000 years. The
echoes of David's songs; the echoes
of the singing of Solomon's men
singers and women singers; the
echoes of the old time fights be
tween the Philistines and Israel,
the echoes of Isaiah's prophesies
and Jeremiah's lamentations; the
echoes stealing down of the Sermon
on the Mount: the echoes of the
blows made by mailing the blameless
one to the cross; the echoes later
OF the coming of the Roman
legions of the destruction of the
great temple and the cries of the
thousand that died in that awful
assault; the echoes of the wars
between crusaders and the MoAam-
medans; the echoes of the ages
that have brought no rewards, of
the generations of men that have
lived and died in vain.
The same methods prevail there
that did in the long past. the
farmer clings to the same plough;
the beggarly trucksters sell their
pomegranates and figs as of yore;
men and methods have change d
no more than have the donkeys
and camels.
Will the locomotive, the electric
light and motor and telegraph and
telephone stir that region and
cause it to throw off the lethargy
Of the centuries? They may by
causing the present occupants to
be pushed aside to give room for
more energetic races.
1t is said scheme is on foot to
utilize the waters and put under
cultivation many millions of fertile
acres near Israel's ancient capital.
II that is done then commerce
will go there and put up her
trading posts; then will follow
department houses; some enter
prising genius will figure that a
new temple, like the one Solomon
built, will draw immense crowds
yearly for all time to come; he
will organize a Syndicate, sell the
stock and build it; the streets will
be widened; moving picture shows
which in themselves will contain
5000 years Of history, will be put
on exhi bltion; theatre will be
opened and the Passion Pl ay with
new realistic effects will be
presented; real estate, board
will be organized, and some little red
schoolhuses will be erected and
then the morning papers will an
nounce that real progress has
started upon it's march where all
has been blight and decay so long.
This for the physical forecast
but what Of the religious? WHO
can anticipate what that will be
when Christian and Israelite and
Mohammedan, under the swift
mingling caused by the locomotive
and under the electric light meet
iE the ancient sacred places, and
each begin his work. Will it lead
to warfare, or will it lead to a
common simple belief that all may
subscribe to? Who can tell? The
locomotive whistle signaled a
change of front there and for
ward march, but will that march
mean a renewal of the old violence.
or a forward glorious advance up
into the light?-Goodwin's Weekly.

Avoid Licking

Face to face with the choice be-
tween public welfare and clean
stamps, the postofiice department has
decided in favor OF the former. A re-
cent order issued to postmasters re-
quires that they and their clerks
when selling stamps shall slide them
through the window to the purchaser
with the sticky side up. Heretofore
1t has been the rule that the face OF
the stamps be uppermost, since a
stamp must be kept reasonably clean
to insure its acceptance when placed
on a letter or a package. The new
order is based on the belief that the
omnipresent germ Is fond OF inhabit-
ing the stamp counter, as we'll as
most other places. Under this theory
the man or woman who ticks a stamp
that has been slid sticky side wodn
across the counter runs the risk Of
acquiring all the diseases known to
that part OF the country. Therefore
the gum, which is calculated to carry
the germs along as It goes on its way
to the purchasers tongue, Is TO be
kept up There is good sense behind
that order but there is more Of II be-
hind the pate OF the man or woman
who makes it a rule never 10 lick

past have been some of our finest
trout streams.
Portable saw-mills, in the course Of
their operations, move from place to
place, locating always on some water
course, principally for the convenient
disposition Of sawdust and other
waste matter. This is dumped in
discriminatory into our streams re-
CARELESS of its deadly effect on the
trout.
OF what use is the annual expen-
diture of thousands of dollars for
propagation and protection II these
mills are to be permitted by law to
ruin the fishing in one brook and
move along to the next, carrying on
their work of destruction even to the
little breeding streams, too small to
furnish power portable mills are
usually operated by steam, simply
using the water-course to carry off
their refuse which naturally finds
its way into the larger streams foul
ing banks and bottom for miles below
their location?
Attempts have been made in the
past to secure legislation on this
matter, but the bills have been
smOthered by a class Of operators
who can only see in such a law the
compulsory expense of few dollars
in disposing Of their refuse.
The conversion Of scattered groups
of timber have rendered the use of
portable-mill a necessity in Vermont,
but their operations should be gov
erned by such legislation as will
prevent the utter ruin of our trout
fishing. Under present conditions
they move from stream to stream
spelling each in detail the final
result is obvious.
Only by restocking can these saw
dust filled brooks ever be made to
afford decent fishing, and Of what
use to restock, when the location of
a portable mill is allowed to ruin It
again next season?
Other states have found the enact
ment Of sawdust laws a necessity, and
in our opinion the time has come for
Vermont to adopt one while there
are yet few trout left to restock by
