We are not at all rejudiced against

that they are the representatives OF a

methods OF the common-sense policy or
public sewer ventilation. When ac-
complished, this system will destroy
all possible germs and the microbe
matters so confined in the deep sewer
laterals OF our towns. This system
will renovate the impure air. and de-
stroy the gases, which is imperative in
the extreme.
Then, again, our cellar systems must
be rendered safe against all chances
Of the main sewers, ventilating them
selves through the common cellar
drain or the cesspool trap when the
water In these traps becomes evaporated
or emptied by capillary attraction, be-
cause when. the main house trap Ia
eliminated the full force of pent-up
sewer air will escape through these
openings. But If a brass thimble and a
heavy brass plug be adopted n
screwed tight, then the whole danger of
escaping gases In cellars and the atmos-
phere throughout the house will be obvf-
ated and there will be no possible chance
for the escape of sulphureted hydrogen
gas. the most dangerous a known TO
chemistry. All scientific men agree
that the public sewer must be ventii-
ated. because the sewer is the most
dangerous gas and bacteria incubator
ever Invented in a conhonwealth, n
the present agitation BIZ public sewer
ventilation will eventually enc In find
ing a solution to our present defective
condition. While accomplishing this
Improvement we are enhancing the well

m N average of ninety names a day are dropped from the nations
IN pension roll by death. That makes 1000 annually. For the
fiscal year just ended $4,000 names were dropped. In the
great Civil War more than a million enlistments on the Union
side we've of lads of Is and younger, and these comprise the great
body of veterans alive today. Only 61S,511 enlistments were of
men of % years and older, and only 1926 of the enhstments were
of men of 25 years and older. The war was fought by young men
between Ia years and % years of age. No less than 1049S7 of
those who wore the blue were Is years old and younger. The smaller
boys were drummers, and they were almost as much exposed to
the perils of the battlefield as the men who filled the ranks. Yhe
youth of the American soldiers in the Civil War explains the Ion
geyity of the pension roll after so many years. Napoleon in his last
campaigns, when he had exhausted his supplies of men, conscripted
lads under the military age, but his armies showed no such an
average of ,ge as the Union and Confederate armies between 1861
and 1856.

NEvADA's GOVERNORS ATTITUDE.

OVERNOR DICKERSONeo of Nevada, isn't built on the same
Mt lines as CALIFORNIA; Governor. The latter gave taeit en-
couragement to the fight promoters to establish their arena
in San Francisco, he permitted them to make all their arrange
ments, issue their tickets and make their contracts, and then he
suddenly veered around and forbade the fight. Governor Dicker
sons attitude is now the same as that of Californias Governor be-
fore he issued his mandate to forbid the fight, and while Dickerson
ie open to censure by the moral sentiment of the country, he is
consistent. The laws of Nevada permit a contest of the kind, and he
is not, therefore, sanctioning a violation of the statute law. Nor, as
far a can be ascertained, does his course offend public sentiment
In Nevada. A Governor is a reflection of his own State com
munity, not of the prevailing sentiment in some other State, and
Governor Dickerson undoubtedly represents the great majority sen
ffmeut of Nevada.

Has Faith In Airship..,

To the Editor OF tho Evening Gtar:
While the accident to the Deutsch-
land. the Zeppelin airship. is most re-
grettable and may put a damper for
Some time upon the enthusiasm of
would-be excursionists of the upper
air, 1t must be remembered that even
this accident was not attended by any
fatality. not even BY injury to the
thirty-three venturesome spirits that
embarked upon the enterprise. It must
be remembered also that when rail-
roads We're first introduced there was
all sorts of trouble, and we have ac-
cidents on the rail, hundreds of them,
With us today. Every new Invention,
In the nature of things, must pass
through a probationary period before
1t becomes an assured success. Many
more disasters, serious ones at that,
win mark the way of aerial navigation
before people will feel as safe In the
air as on the land or water. The time
will surely come, however. when air
ships like the Deutschland will be just
as safe among the currents of the sky
as its big namesake Ia safe today
among the currents of the see.

THE ANONYMOUS ATTACK ON STOKES.

II N his indignant reply to the scurvy attack upon him by an
anonymous circular mailed in a Pennsylvania city, former Gov.
ernor Stokes does not intimate knowledge of the real source
of the circular. The attack was made upon his candidacy for John
Kean's seat in the United States senate. There are several candi-
dates for the Office, and obviously the circular was issued in the
interest of some one candidate. The statements in the circular were
false, and were Sc worded that it was made plain the author knew
the imputation put upon the former legislator and Governor was
absolutely false. An act of this kind, criminal under our statutes
and performed under cover of another State, should not be dis
missed as a passing incident. 1t should be traced, il possible,
y those who inspired it and who had an object to serve.

Now that the Democratic legislators
have petitioned Governor Fort for a
special session for the purpose of enact
Ing adequate public utilities legislation
the situation is put very much up to
the gentlemen on the Republican side
of the house. This crisis Is a most in
teresting one. 1t goes without saying
legislators do not want a special ses-
sion, and would do most anything to
avoid it. But the campaign is coming
and an attitude of continued oppo-
sition will be not only bad policy, but
bad politics. The dilemma of the man
who found himself between the devil
and the deep sea pales into i~nsignih-
canoe beside this one.
After experimenting with fur-bearing

that they may be raised in inland lakes.
Seal farming may become a profitable

prospect that the beautiful fur may be

ing to those who wear 1t because it Is
rare. 1t is not sufficient that an article
also be difficult to get. But then, per-
haps the assurance of the dealer, that

Glenn H. Curtiss is said to have

The fight extras Monday night will

situation which will presented in
Reno Monday afternoon. 1t is a fact
that a large majority of the population
of the United States Is very anxious
to know who won the big battle and
how 1t was won. 1t may be wrong for

to know, just the same.

How is 1t that there are SO many

way to prevent the repetition Of panics
