A CALL TO PIETY

What America needs more than
railway extension, and western
irrigation. and a low tariff, and a
bigger wheat crop, and a merchant
marine, and u new navy, is a
revival of piety, the kind mother
and father used to have-p.ety
that counted it good business to
stop for daily family prayer be-
fore breakfast right in the middle
of harvest; that quit field work a
half hour earlierThursday night so
as to get the chores done and go
to prayer meeting; that borrowed
money to ray the preachers salary
and prayed ~fervently in secret for
the salvation Of the rich mar who
looked with scorn upon such un-
bnsinesSlike behavior. That's what
we need now to clean this country
Of the filth OF graft and of greed,
petty and big; of worship of fine
houses and big lands and high
office and grand social functions.
What is this thing we are wjr-
Shipping but a vain repetition of
what decayed nations fell down
and ~orshiped just before their
light went out? Read the history
of Rome in decay and you will find
luxury there that could lay a big
dollar owe our little douxhnut
that looks large to US. Great
wealth never made a nation SUBJ
stantial o honorable. There is
nothing no earth that looks good
that is so dangerous for a man or
a nation to handle as quick easy,
big money. If you d. resist the
deadly influence the chances arc
that it will get your son. Ii takes
greater and finer heroism 70 dare

Word comes from Carson City
that the board of pardons has COM
mutcd the sentence Of ascension
Mangana from hanging to life
imprisonment. This case is fresh
in the memory of the residents Of
Nye county. as well as southern
Nevada, as this county was put to
great expense to capture and,
secure conviction Of one of the
most cold.blooded murders ever
perpetrated on the desert.
While the conviction was based
on circumstantial evidence, was
strong enough to point that
Ascension Mangana not only helped
to murder the two men at Iceland,
but that in order to secure all the
loot had also done away with
his partner, another Mexican whom
the authorities have never been
Fable to locate.
II seems a waste Of public money
to call trials and grand juries and
secure convictions and then have
the sentences of the convicted COM
mutcd. finally parolcd and turned
loose upon the public andTsociety
again.
This is about the only conviction
that Mr.. Baker secured in his
tenure Of Office as district attorney
Of Nye county without the as
sistanee Of other counsel and now
as a member Of the board of
pardons he is wiping out this n
all but the expense end Of it,

4 WONDERFUL DEVICE
BEING SHOWN HERE
News Vending Machine Just
on Market-One Factory
May Locate Here.

An invention in the form of an auto
matte newspaper vending machine
which will undoubtedly revolutionize
the newspaper circulation business in
the near future, is being shown at the
Hotel Westcott by Dan w. Mccarthy
and w. w. Rowland. representing the
Automatic News Distributing COM
pany of Cincinnati.
The machine is adjustable to sell
any price or size daily or weekly paper
published in the country today. 1t
will sell Ave cent paper for nickel
or, If adjusted to sell only two cent
papers, the purchaser may drop a
nickel in the slot, receive his paper
and three cents in change. Or If he
has the exact change 1.-TWO cents) he
may drop the money in the slot and
will receive his paper Immediately
upon deposit of the second penny. II
the machine is regulated to sell only
penny papers, the same pricinple is
involved, and four cents in change
drops out automatically in small
cup upon the insertion of five cent
piece. On the sale of the last paper
sign automatically appears which
reads "all papers sold" The machine
works without pulling lever or push
ing button.
The machine was invented by John
A. Rule of Cincinnati after fifteen
years of patient endeavor. 1t is per-
feet in every detail and in fact has al
most human intelligence. 1t is very
simple in construction and this Won
derful piece of mechanism never
makes mistake. The paper drops
out automatically with the proper
change as soon as the money is in
serted. The machine is made in vari-
Gus sizes to accommodate twenty-five,
fifty or hundred papers.
