AMENDMENTS.
Tho fredericksburg Daily Star IN
commenting upon the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution OF Virginia
speaks the whole truth. in our opinion.
when 1t says: 1.-THE people are to be
called upon next November to vote
for amendments to the new Constitu-
ton, the purport OF which not one
fifth OF them understand. 1t is fair
guess that not even this proportion
Of our voters could, II called upon.
state the amendments which the Cen
eral Assembly has submitted.
Discussion Of these amendments may
cause some interest to be taken by
the voters as to their passage or nom
passage.
In our very first utterance upon
these changes in the organic Jaw, we
laid emphasis on the fact that there
is no public demand for the passage
of these amendments, and that tho
only persons who have taken any
interest in the matter have been tho
legislators and county officials to
whom the adoption OF the amendments
will mean material benefit. What
our highly esteemed contemporary
says, therefore. goes to bear out this
contention. which we firmly believe to
be correct.
Yet the die has been cast b. the
General Assembly and tho Rubicon
must be crossed at the polls by the
people. It is, then, of the highest
Importance that tho people should be
fully aware OF the significance OF
these changes and or the reasons adj
vanced both for and against them.
1 They should not vote blindly nor care
lessly on such important propositions
as changes in the Fundamental law Of
/ tho State.
Whatever may be their views upon
the four propositions, whether they,
agree with US or not. we do earnestly
call upon our contemporaries in every
county OF the Commonwealth 20 come
out and explain these amendments to
the people. All over the State the
press should diffuse a thorough under
standing of the proposed amendments
among the people
There has been too little comment
on these changes by the newspapers
Of the Old Dominion. Only three
months remain before the vote on
them will DO taken. and now is the
timo to educate the people as to the
purport and effect of these. four pro-
posed amendments. It is a public duty
. which tho press owes to the people.

THE TARIFF AND HIGH LIVING.
Senator Joe Johnston, Of Alabama,
and his associates of the Senate mi
norlty committee on Wages and Prices
Of Commodities, have made an excel.
lent report on the causes OF the cost
of high living in this country. Accord
ing to Cabot Lodge and his ma orlty,
there is nothing wrong at ali with
conditions; but Johnston and his as
sociates know better. They blame 1t
on the tariff and they prove 1t, the
three substantial causes for the adj
vance in the cost OF living, as stated
by them, being: First. the tariff: sec
ond, the trusts combines and monopo-
lies, and. third, the increased money
supply. 'The two first are the chief
malefactors.'' The minority might
have added that the two first are the
same, the tariff being the parent of
the trusts and combines and monopo-
| lies. :
! We do not think that the minority
report is as dignified possibly, as a
State paper ought to be, but it is all
the better for that, as the people will
probably see the point of the joke

United States" the Colonel should abb
stain from pernicious political acc
tivity. General Grant lived for some
yenrs after he had been President and
nobody. ever heard OF him holding con-
ferences with nil sorts OF political
trninps day after day and trying to
dictate what the country should do
with this, that or the other question
OF present moment, and plotting with
one faction or his party, and with all
factions, Of NIL parties that might have
sought his counsel Arthur was Pros
ever heard Of his sending some con-
venicnt Griscom to the party authori-
ties OF New York with request that
lie be made the king pin in the party
machinery. Cleveland was President
OF tho United States; but he did not ut
tempt the direction of party move
merits after his retirement from
Office, and we can very we'll believe
that lie would have been heartily
ashamed or himself II he could have
forgotten the dignity of his office to
such an extent as to make 1t possible
for him to get down among the ward
}leelers. Benjamin Harrison was Pres
ident OF the United States; but he had
have scorned to abuse his honors even
for the sake of exercising the power
that had departed from his hands. It
was not until it got down to the Colo.
mel that any former President OF this
great country ever debased his posi-
ton as this man has done with whip
and spur and shout of defiance to all
who. do not follow wherever he may
choose to lead. S.
Another thing that Griscom is re-
ported to have said. Isl:
There was no question OF endorsing
or not endorsing the administration
If an effort is made to show that the
choice Of Vice President Sherman Is
an endorsement, whereas the choice of
Colonel Roosevelt would not have been

We are sorry that Griscom, did not
tell what the Colonel's views regard
ing the conduct Of public affairs by
his successor are. Griscom says that
they are "well known" We'll known
to whom? TO Pinchot and Garfield
and the rest Of that bunch Of politi-
zeal loafers. Perhaps; but not TO the
generality OF mankind. We should
like to know what they are, and Mr..

Colonels interference in the affairs Of
i the present Administration. as reported
by the newspapers and various per-
Z sons who have claimed to have been

short. of a public scandal. The people
are getting tired Of it. have been for
a long time, and are getting "tireder'

new Law IS
DEFECTIVE
PHOTO BY F, DILLON

At the last session of the legis-
lature, the number of senators and
assemblymen was increased. The
new adjustment gave Douglas
county an additional assembly
man, along with Lyon county.
After the bill became law, 1T Sas
found to be in direct conflict with
the constitution OF Nevadi,
seventy-five beng the greatest
number allowed while the new law
provided for stventy-six membrrs
OF the Legislature.
The following letter has been
filed with Secretary OF State Doug
las by Attorney General Stoddard
and the official ruling on the
question O the apportionment OF
senators and representatives i"r
the coming election:
Hon. ". G. Douglas,
Secretary OF State.
Dear Sir:-In preparing and
transmitting to the several county
clerks the legislation OF offices ior
which candidates are TO be
nominated under the primary act
of March oath, 1909, (Statuies

several counties to the legislature
oil this state, said act purports TO
provide for Legislature OF seventy
six members, whereas said pro-
vision of the constitution express
ly limits the aggregate number
thereof is seventy-tive.
For the foregoing reasons, | am
of the opinion that it is your duty
to disregard the act Of 1909, and
to follow the reappointment act OF
1909, which is still effective.

Attorney General.
1t means that the office of the
secretary of state will abide by the
decision handed down by the at

only be made for the election OF
the seventy-five as provided for in

Old Log Cabin
Loss to this
State.

The oldest house in the state of
Nevad, was destroyed by fire that
swept half the town of Genoa out
exlstene last week, and now all
that remains OF this PRICELESS
Landmark is pile OF burnt ruins.
The matter OF purchasing the
building and removing it To the
capitol grounds at Carson, has
come up before the state legislature
several Zines, but 10 de mate
action was ever been taken, the
law makers holding 10 the opinion
that it was better to spend the
money for divers other purp, ..
In this way they were wrong, for
there was CT a nee to pay an ever
lasting tribute to the pioneers who
suffered many privations that
they might blaze the way for
Others To enigrate to Nevada.
Could the walls of the destroyed
house talk, before the eonhsgration,
many tales OF the hardships en-
dured by the brave bunch o.
pioneers would have been related
and each and every member of the
legislature should be ashamed
that they had opposed making the
old log cabin the property OF the
state. All that exists III Nevada
today is practically due to tht
efforts of The pioneers and now
there is no landmark or remem ber-
ance to bring to mind the hap
penings OF long ago. Posterlty
will have to be content with gaz-
ing at "A few faded photographs
or perhaps a small relic, while the
most priceless article OF all will be
but faint memory, a recollection
of the dim past, fast receding with
each passing day.
In other states the old forts have
passed into the possession oil
societies or even the state, and
sums are set aside to repair the
relics and keep them in fair
state of preservation. But in Ne
vada it is different and within a
lew years, the last OF the living
rememberances will have passed
10 their grave.

ngrateful?--Tonopah Bonanza.

MAY ESTABLISH
A POOR FARM

1t is quite probable that when
the matter of replacing the county
poor house, which was destroyed
by fire last week, comes up, that a
different location will be selected,
and Que where the example set
by other counties can be followed
ont.
In other counties it has been
found, that although the inmates
may be past the age OF usefulness,
it is a mistaken idea to keep them
in absolute ideluess. To keep the
body and mind from Ill effects OF
idelness a light daily exercise Is
a necessity. In Ormsby county,
in Lyon county and even in Mono
county, several acres OF ground Is
the principle asset OF what Is
known as the poor farm. lhe
gardens are cared for by the In
mates and to some extent the in-
stitutions are made self sustaining.
There are many opportunities,
We believe, in this Valley, to find
/ lust such place as would be de
slrable for county loor farm.
/ AT least, it is subject that pre-
sents merit for proper discussion,
/ although investigation may prove
differently.

Was A MIGHTY
POOR Fight

The poorest exhibition put up
by champion puglists OF the
twentieth century, took place at
Reno Monday afternoon before
twenty thousand people. If a
tenth of the number left the arena
declaring that they had witnessed
a clean-cut fight on the order of
what they had expected to see, we
are sadly in the wrong.
The "Jefferies comeback" which
had been heralded by the press
for weeks, was one for gold and
not for glory. He and his train
ers must have known that he was
a worn-out piece of machinery.
Almost from the first sound of
the gong until Jefferies was count
ed out in the 10Th round, the two
champions pulled and hauled
each other about the ring in
clinches. In no way can the
match be compared with other
championship battles, especially
the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons fight at
Carson 13 years ago.
The twentieth century blow-up"'
that was enacted at Reno Monday
was a travesty on the fighting
game. The promoters who dare
risk $10l, 900 in purse money for
another championship fight on the
Pacific coast will emerge from an
avalanche OF unpaid accounts, a
hopeless bankrupt.
