WOMEN PLEAD FOR HUSBANDS
Especial to The sentinel.l

Especial 10 The Sentinel.
Chicago, Feb. 25.-In a plea for
higher wages for their husbands en-
ployed as switchmen, women took the
witness stand before the state board
of arbitration yesterday and told of
their daily struggles to make both
ends meet. Never before was the
real story of the high cost of living
so vividly portrayed or told with
more dramatic effect
Butter and eggs re declared to
be luNuries beyond the reach of the
average switchman's family. In or
der that the little ones might be fed
and clothed, the mothers swore that
the fathers had to work from l2 to
II hours a day and that they never
saw their children except while the
latter were asleep

TRAINED NURSES,
FREE SCHOLARSHIP

The Philadelphia School of Nurses,
22l9 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, an
aounces that enrolment for the fall
classes will shortly begin. This insti-
tuition is recognized and endorsed by
leading physicians everywhere. Free
scholarships in the two year course are
available and provide room, board
laundering, incidental expenses and
railroad fare home on completion of the
course. A home study course and a
esident short course are also provided.
The school provides full instruction
under safe and wholesome conditions
md opens the way to almost immediate
financial betterment for those who need
to increase their earning power.
A special short course class opens De.
'ober 5th. This class is formed at the
request of leading physicians who are
anxious that some provision be made
to meet the increasing demand for
nurses in all sections. This is an open
ing which will be appreciated by those
who need to quickly prepare themselves
for self support and nursing duty. An
illustrated number of the School Bul

persons, gives all details.

fact that the governor and attorney
general had drawn from the state treas
ury in addition to their salaries, the
sum of $4,000 for travelling expenses.
What official duty did the governor
ever perform outside of Carson Citya
The attorney general might be called
upon to assist the district attorney of
one of the counties of the state in the
prosecution of a criminal case, but as
matter of fact he had not been so
called upon.
The Create est Scandal of All.
Judge Massey then took up the mat
ter Of the state penitentiary "graft. "
It was conceded by all persons familiar
with the situation that more room was
required at the penitentiary. To meet
this demand additional ground might
have been acquired adjacent to the
present site and new wing erected at
total cost of approximately what had
been paid for the ground for the new
site. The last legislature appropriated
100000 for new penitentiary. of
which sum but $4,000 remained unex.
pended, and what had been done with
the remaining $192 000f In the first
place the state engineer and the attor-
ney general junketed over the entire
length and breadth of the land getting
ideas for a new building. The net
result of the trip was a set of plans
that had since been discarded as i'm
practicable. All that the state had to
show for the $4,000 was tract of
land, purchased as a site for the new
penitentiarv at cost of $4,000. What
had become of the remaining $l67 900
would never be known until the long
overdue financial statement for the
year 1909 made its appearance, which
would probably be some time after the
election.
Judge Massey promised, if elected.
to remedy these evils so far as it lay
within the power of the chief executive,
and to give the eoplpe of the state an
economical, businesslike administra-
tion.
At the close of his mastery address
Judge Massey was greeted with rolong
ed applause and during its delivery
was accorded the close attention of the
large audience.
Judge Massey left Winnemucca on
No. this morning for Elko, where he
will speak tonight. and tomorrow ev.
ening he will address the taxpayers of

The largest audience that has at
tended a political massmeeting during
the present campaign greeted Judge
Massey at the Nixon opera house last
evening, to listen to a discussion of the
issues of the coming campaign.
Seated on the stage were number of
prominent local Republicans, including
l.. G. Campbell, candidate for the Re
publican nomination for district Judge
C. f. Haviland candidate for Republi.

sioner; w. l.. Wilkinson. candidate for

Rev j. NJ Wilson, W. A. Brown, and
f. r. Harroun the latter acting as
chairman of the meeting.
Rev. j. M. Wilson made a short
opening address in which he paid a
high compliment to Judge Massey, as
well as several other of the Republican
candidates. particularly f. f. Roberts
of Carson City. candidate for congress
AT the conclusion of Rev. Wilson IS
remarks Judge Massey began his adj
dress, which dealt chiefly with the
financial record of the Democratic off
cials of the state.
Gross Extravaganza.
Five years ago the total cost of main
tanning the state government was about
100000. For the year 1908 it was
double that amount, and when the
figures for the year 1909 are available
they will doubtless show a much great
er increase in the running expenses of
the state government.
Last Years Report Not Published.
Attention was called to the signif-
cant fact that the financial report for
the year 1909 had not yet been pub
lished,, although eight months had
elapsed since the close of the year.
Taxation Exceeds Expenditures.
1t was shown that, Notwithstanding
the gross extravaganza of the present
Democratic state administration. i'm
mense sums of money in excess of the
needs of the state were being raised by
taxing the people and were being ear
ried in the state treasury as an invita-
tion for further extravaganza and
waste.
Many Useless Offices.
The speaker CHARGED that prior
Democratic administrations were re-
sponsible for the creation of several
sinecures. for which the people of the
state received not one cent worth of
benefits. Notably among these was the
appointive office of state auditor, with
salary of $4,000 per year and an an
nual allowance for travelling expenses
of 81 900 more. The Office was entire
lv superfluous as state controller was
elected by the peoplpe to see that we
state received all the moneys due il
from the several counties
The state publicity committee wa
another useless exnense. with it's cha'"
man drawing $4,000 per vear of the

speaker challenged the chairmar Il tNf
