Nevada And
Her New Law

The St. Louis Times i'll an editorial
believes that Nevada after all may
be on the right track III its methods
OF administering the death penalty.
In commenting upon the subject it
says:
Nevada has struck new note i'll
me symphony pathetique OF human
ills by evolving men who have been
condemned TO death.
The plan suggested in Nevada Is
that men who face the gallows be
giving the privilege OF dying in some
other fashion. 1t is planned TO give
TO men in such predicaments deadly
poison, and insure them an opportun-
itys to take IT, Ii, after a stated time,
the prisoner has not shuffled the
mortal coil by the aid OF the drug
placed in his possession the moose
may then be adjusted.
The terrors OF death by hanging
are probably, the terrors OF antici-
patton. Experts say that the actual
experience is usually not EXTREMITY
painful. 1t Is like the pulling OF
tooth-the end. reached almost simui
taneously with the beginning.
But the days and nights OF waiting
are equivalent perhaps, TO many
deaths, whereas the law has exacted
but one death.
The theory that the law Furnishes
quite abandoned when a higher con-
dition OF kindness and Intelligence
prevails. The law may have right
to say that a man may not live; but
it requires a wholly sinister Kind OF
logic to show that the lay or any
other earthly power has right to
make any human being suffer. Suf-
fering many sometimes be inevitable
but that should be because it cannot
be eliminated.
The man who is imprisoned sEourd
be given the best possible opportun-
| ty to work out his moral salvation.
The man who must be put TO death
conceding that the thing is ever right
| or necessary should be killed merci-
fully.
! The Nevada idea may be step in
the right direction. Though unless
the prisoner may be made to believe
that he has received the fatal draught
surreptiously ii is likely, after all,
| that he might look forward with
equal terror to the hemlock and 10
the moose"

This morning the Senate passed
the Assembly bill amending the
present gambling law of Nevada.
Under the law as it stood it was un-
law to play bridge, whist. stuff or
other games for the mere pleasure
Of the game. The law has nndoubt
edly been violated every time the
game was played, as the law lorbids
the having OF cards in ones posses
sion. That this may be righted aand
he people who enjoy a social game
may carry ii on without violation OF
the law, the Assembly bill trimmed
down the provisos and it now allows
the social game as the people want
it.
Several attempts were Qiade dur
ing the session to remove the pen
atty act which failed Other amend
ments were offered and they in turn
were defeated, until today when the
bill goes TO the Governor with minor

unable TO repay their benefactor.
From Arizona, where the great
Roosevelt dam stands as a wonderful
monument to mans conquest OF the
desert, as well as to the benefcence
OF an enlightened government, comes
the word that the population has in
creased so rapidly, while the valua-
ton OF property has more than
doubled that the owners of the irri-
gated lands find themselves con-
fronted with the necessity of spend
ingmoney in 30 many other directions
that they will have to askthe govern
rnent to foFego for at least double the
original time the repayment OF the
money expended on the dam. the cost
of which was to be betrayed by the
settlers, for whose benefit the irriga-
ton. plant was established. Irriga-
tion has achieved many wonders, but
none that will exceed this spectacle.

COmpetition and the wOrkingman

Competition and the Workingman.
In the course OF a somewhat
lengthy discussion of business condi-
lions Frank A. vanderlip says in the
Outlook
believe that. IL the workmen of this
country saw clearly what unrestrained
competition spells in the relation be-
tween industry and labor, there would
be unanimous protest from the labor
world against the theory that mOnopo-
listic tendencies in industries are best
controlled by destroying large corpora
tions with a view to enforcing sharper
competition.
Mr. Vanderllp's illustration is
inept,pif not entirely inappropriate,
and We're he as closely familiar with
other conditions of life in this coun-
try as he is with the affairs of the
financial circles In which he moves he
would not fall into the error of sug-
costing that the workingmen of the
United States require any education
to convince them OF the evils OF unre-
stricted competition.
For longer than a century the
skilled workman, not only of Amer
lea, but of the world, have been COM
batting for the recognition Of the
doctrine of collective bargaining.
This doctrine is the outgrowth of un-
fortunate experience that proved to
the workman the fallacy and ruina-
ton of unrestricted competition in
the sale of his labor. NMr. Vanderlip
points out in the article referred to
that unrestricted competition be-
tween Arms engaged in the same line
of business carried to its logical end
means loss OF money to both and the
ultimate consolidation of the two
concerns in order that ruin may not
engulf both. This lesson was very
early learned by the mechanics under
the new industrial system that fol-
lowed on the supplanting of the hand
crafts by machinery. That the prac-
tice of collective bargaining is not
generally prevalent is in no wise
chargeable to the intelligent work
ingmen of the country, but is due to
the fact that many of the men who
have only their labor to sell are still
misled by the fatuous call of ''indi-
vidualism" in the matter OF making
bargains for their only asset.

Good News for the West

A continuing appropriation Of
$4,000. 900 yearly for Missouri river
Improvement, as recommended in the
rivers and harbors report to con
gross, means much TO this western
country. That amount of money
properly expended upon the river
would put It in good shape, with what
local sectional support could do, for
navigation and offer fruitful results
in the form OF better freight rates.
Whenever the people begin to make
use Of the Missouri for transportation
purposes they will take the rate sit
uation very much in their own hands.
so far as traffic that can be carried
on the river is concerned.
The resident and the government
engineering department should re-
ceive the cooperation Of the west in
the advanced position taken. The
west has suffered for want OF this
very thing Its development, rapid
as It has been. would have been more
rapid with full advantage OF river
navigation. The claim is made that
It's advance has been seriously re-
tarded because OF this lack. But
