MORE, NOT LESS

Assemblyman Price has pre-
sented bill to the legislature for
its action doing away with the
death penalty in the state of Ne
vada.
The bill is good one and only
one mistake appears and that is
instead Of doing away with the
death penalty is to enforce it in
the state.
The death penalty in Nevada has
grown to be something of farce
and it might be possible that Mr..
Price has seen fit to put in his.bill
in the attempt to remove some
obsolete laws from the books of the
state We cannot really believe
that Mr.. Price is sincere in remov-
ing the law il he thought that there
ever was a chance of it's being
enforced. The time is not ripe for
Nevada to clothe itself in the shin
ing robes of purity and announce
to the world that sin has flown
and Nevada has reached the
pinnace to which all states aspire.
Pick up the papers of the state
and read of the cold blood ed
murders that are taking place at
frequent intervals. Read of the
murder of men and women at the
hands of robbers ss took place at
INLAY a short time ago; think of
the murderer Casey who WAKES fat

GAMBLERS TO

Quite number of people inter-

many secret conferences are being
held.
Just what the plans of the pro-
gambling element are Jnot known
but they are prepared to make a
bitter fight to reopen the state.
Failing in gaining repeal of the
law an attempt will be made to OBJ

The law that is needed is not the

the quickening of it's enactment.
Then and only then, will the wave
of crime and lawlessness be stayed.

SHOCK OF BIG GUN FIRING

One OF the penalties attendant on
firing off big guns is deafness. So sure
Is this penalty to be exacted that. Il is

stranger on deck who hears a big gun

strain upon nerves and senses when
the rending concussIon takes place Is
terrible.
There is not a great difference be.
tween the effect Of the big guns and
that OF the smaller pieces, strange as
1t may seem. II the visitor places him.
self beside one OF the smaller gums.
and then listens TO the roar OF the big
one, the sound will not appear much
louder than that OF the gun by his
side. The extra distance to the muzzle
OF the big piece discounts the sound.
Tho only apparent difference between
the two will be that the smaller piece
has sharper, high.pltched tone and
that tho big guns speak with a more
believing roar.

BIENNIAL REPORT
OF STATE POLICE

The biennial report of the Nc
vada State Police for l9O9-l9lO has
just been issued by Superintendent
W. L. Cox. The force at the pres
ent time is composed of ten men
not including the commissary, as
follows: Superintendent, inspect
or, four sergeants and four priv
ates.
1t is set fourth that the present
force forms a nucleus of we'll
trained men which would provide
squad leaders for 100 to $50 men
in the event of any emergency arts
ing which might require the addi-
ton of that number to the depart
ment.
The report deals at length on the
progress that has been made by the
department in the work of the
Identification bureau under the
Bertillon system, with photograph,
description and finger print of ca, h
prisoner confined in the State pris-
on. as we'll as gathering valuable
records from other states. Efforts
to establish the Bertillon finger
print system in the principal CEN
tiers of the state have progressed

ment.
Among the recommendations
made are the establishment of Il
central bureau of Identification, and
that the members of theLcgislaturc
be requested to cooperate with
the state of California in the work
of identifying criminals by rassir 8
laws along the lines that they pro.
pose to legislate.
A further recommendation il
made that few horses be provided
for the department, either by di.
rect purchase and maintenance b,
the state or by increasing the pay
Of sergeants and privates of the de.
partment and requiring them tc
buy and maintain tkeir own horses.
The necessity for mounted service
may arise any time and the use OF
unframed horses in such service
not only jeopadizes the lives of the
men, bat also the success Of any op-
Grafton they may undertake.

Thomas Cook, the man arrested
Thursday night on wires from Ton
opah, is still in the county Jail.
The sheriff of Nye county wired
Sheriff Harris that he was detained
in Tonopah and could not get here
until Sunday. Cook had full inst
ructions from his accomplice, Savoy,
as to how the pay checks were to
be filled out. On the back of the
genuine check found on Cook. he
was instructed to fill out ten checks
not over $3.50; ten not over 500;
five not over $50; and five not over
$40. He was also instructed to put
odd cents on each check. In the
latter part Of January. Savoy
wrote Cook from Godlfied telling
him tc mail the checks to him on
No. 8 and he would get them the
pext day.
The bottle of ink sent by Savoy is
a small bottle of Carter's black
ink. his Instructions. Savoy says
she ihNis very hard to dry and for
Cook to dry it by stove or lamp
and blot it and then dry it again.

The Carson News thinks q special
session of the legislature will be
necessary TO consider the codifica-
ton of the laws perpared under
the direction of the supreme court.
This work ought not to take much
! time if the court has done its part.
If the work of the supreme court is
adopted as whole, the state will
have much better set of Laws than
if ground through the legislative
mill and mangled to suit the ideas
of some third rate lawyers, who
happen to be members of the leg
islature.
e of the state papers are op-
posing any amendment of the pri-
mary election law that reduces the
amount of advertising required. If
the legislature is mindful of the in
terests of the taxpayers, it will re-
duce the advertising to a minimum
and cut out all unnecessary expense
so that the next primary election
will not be such a drain upon the
counties as to make the law unpop-
ular. The advertising bills in this
county, though entirely within the
law, were burden on the taxpay-
ers. Though the writer runs a
newspaper. he is opposed to all un-
necessary expense whether it bene-
fits his business or not.

THE new JERsy TRIUMPH

The election of James E. MARITIME
as United States senator from New
Jersey 10 succeed John Kean is a
splendid triumph and a vindica,ion
Of the principle that United States
Senator's should represent the
people of their states rather than
some corporation or group of
corporations.
Mr.. MARITIME went before The
democratic voters in the primal RE
and resolved their endorsemn mt as
the party candidate for the United
States senator. At that time it was
not foreseen or conidered possible
that democratic majority in the
legislature would be elected so the
nomination of Mr.. MARITIME as the
party choice for senator was looked
upon as an empty honor. But the
splendid campaign of Woodro w
Wilson for governors aided, by the
way, by Mr.. Marines energetic
work for Wilson on the stump
swept democratic legislature in
on the crest of the wave of victory
and assured the election of q
democratic senator.
Then James Smith, Jr., got busy.
So long as there was no apparent
hope of victory Smith had no
aspirations. But sa soon as it was
shown that senatorship was in
sight for the picking, Smith-a
political boss corpora, ion tool ard
former ssenator of unenviable
record became hungry for off ce.
Also the corporations sat up end
took notice. They didn't want
James MARITIME. He had some
radical NJ tions that a seratt RS
duty was to serve the who'll people
rather than the Interests" The
corporations would be as we'll
satisfied with. Smith in the senate
as Kean.
And so Smith became a candi-
date for Kean's seat against
MARITIME. Governor elect Wilson
delighted his friends and surprised
doubters by coming out un-
reservedly and emphatically for
MARITIME and against Smith. The
result of the contest is now history.
Smith has met with a crushing
defeat and MARITIME is senator-elec ct
from New Jersey. The popular
election of United States senators
is exemplified in the outcome as
MARITIME was the choice of his party
in the primaries while Smith would
not have dared gone before the
people. Senator-elect MARITIME is a
man of progressive views and
unquestioned integrity and will
doubtless rank among the leaders
on the democratic side of the
senate chamber.-Exchange.
