JuDj i jlMts G.: SWEENEY

Judge Sweeney and Congressman
Bartlett arrived in town late last
evening and today were around
shaking hands with the people.
Jugde Sweeney is a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
United States senator, and has not
been making any speeches pre-
liminary to the primaries. Judge
Sweeney says that if the democrats
of the state desire him to make
the fight for the U. S. senatorship
he is ready and willing to make
the fight and believes if nominated
he can poll more votes for the
Office tn an either of his opponents
for the nomination.. =, 49, -.
Judge Sweeney has been reserv-
ing his energy and such resources
as he possesses to make the real
fight, rather than in employing
brass bands before the primaries
believing the democrats know him
we'll enough to say whether or not
they want to nominate him.
Judge Sweeney is a native of
Nevada. He has served in the
legislative -: department as a
member form Ormsby county, as
attorney general for four years
and has been four years on the
supreme bench. g.. '''. 80
He has been chairman of the
democratic state central commit
tee four years and has stumped
the state four times. He is an
aggressive fighter. and if nominated
will poll heavy vote. The two
elements fighting Judge Sweeney
are the gambling interests and
those who favor the release of
Preston and Smith.
Judge Sweeney stands squarely
for the abol ishment of gan bling
and has bitterly fought the Preston
and Smith element.
If nominated Judge Sweeney
will make a thoro ugh canvas of the
entire state and feels confident
that, if nominated, Nevada will
have two democratic United States

Death FOR KISSING

In ancient Egypt it was. consid-
cred high degree. of politeness to
kiss ones hand and then place it on
the top Of the head.
Men of rank occasionally kissed
each other, but in the land of the
Pharaohs no man ever dreamed of
kissing a woman. 1884,,
In Rome kissing was at one time
serious matter. If a sla, e kissed
a free woman he was liable to be
torn to pieces by wild horses.
1t was the great Cato who pro-
mulgated law making it a punish
able offense for parents to kiss in
the presence of their children.
In Austria today man kisses a
woman's hand only In Russia the
forehead is kissed among equals.
But Russian peasant salutes his
lordly master by kissing his knees.
The Pole kisses the shoulder of
his superior. .....

THE DEAD MANS HAND

The authorities in hundreds of
cities and towns in Germany employ
specially trained dogs for detective
work, and it is reported that
wherever they have been used
crime has decreased all the way
from one-fourth to one-half.
Criminals, especially burglars and
kighwaymen, are more afraid of
one such dog than of a whole squad
of police. And we'll they might be,
If the dogs are as efficient as they
are claimed to be. By careful
breeding, variety has been pro-
duced which has been called the
executive dog" They are as
keen-scented as the bloodhound,
and it is claimed that they can hear
slight sound, such as is made by a
man walking, or the breaking of a
twig, at the distance of a quarter
of mile.
The authorities of the British
nav. have established number of
stations for the training and use of
these executive, or detective, dogs.
although they are of a savage
temper they are carefully taught
to do no injury if it can be avoided.
One of their duties is to aid in the
recovery of deserters. BY some
instinct they soon come to know
who should and who should not be
about the government premises at
night.
Is it not a reproach to : our
human intelligence that we have
allowed the things which produce
criminals, such as saloons, gamb-
ling-places and nickel shows, to so
flourish as to need the help IF
fierce brutes to protect ourselves
against them? If these schools of
criminals were abolished, our cities
would not need the detective dogs,
nor would they need one-fourth of
the police force they do now.-Boy

Mr.. Boyd clearly shows that Mr..

the police bill until he was promised
a salary of 500 a month as COM
missary. Governor Sparks was
opposed to the grab, but yielded to
the opportunities of his friends and
signed the bill making D;ckeraon
commissary at 500 per month.
He has drawn the salary regularly
