the Following form, although several

school for Government Employees
The suggestion that the United
states government establish in
washington a training school for
Young men and women who desire
to enter the federal departments as
civil employees, similar to the insti-
tutions which train youths for the
army and navy, may. be matertalized,
though, perhaps, not in the near
future. Experts who study our
form of government assert that the
time will come when a school for
civil employees must be formed, de-
cIares the washington Herald, and
every one desirous of entering the
government service will have to take
a prescribed course.
The machinery of our government
is an intricate One. 1t may, indeed
be far too intricate for the spirit OF
modernism and progress. Put It's
workings into the hands of ans
teurs, and ineHc.ency Is sure to
result as surely as pilotless vessel
would founder on a rocky coast In
a storm-swept sea. With ex-
perfenced men and women at the
Wheel this government always will
he able to maintain its standing
among nations as a pattern admins
tration with minimum OF red tape
.PoIfticaI economists point to the
fact that civil service preparation
has not proved such difficult mat
ter. and to get the best results from
government employees they ought
to be trained for their work.

Well I answered. you shall
have it.
understand, of course, said
he, that you are not saying this
on your own authority?'
Oh, no, said 1; l am saying
it on the authority of the president.
We'll. these men voted that Ne
vada be allowed to form state
government, and thus they helped
secure the vote which was required.
The next October the president
signed the proclamation admitting
the state. In February following
Nevada was one of the states which
ratified the thirteenth amendment
by which slavery was abolished by
constitutional prohibition in all of
the United States. | have always
felt that this little piece of side
politics was one of the most judi
cious, humane, and wise uses of
executive authority that I ever as
sisted in or witnessed"
That Mr. Lincoln had in view the
making of a state out of the west
ern portion of Utah for the double
purpose of insuring the abolition
of slavery by amendment to the
constitution, and to gain the sup
port in congress of the representa-
tives of another loyal state, long
before Nevada was actually admit
ted. is now quite evident. What
comprises the state was originally
Carson county, Utah territory.
In 1861 it was cut off from the
domain of Brigham Young and made
the territory of Nevada.
Mr.. Lincoln appointed as govern
or James w. Nye of New York;
as secretary of the new territory.
Orien Clemens, the brother of Mark
Twain. Nye was the personal and
political friend of Mr. Lincoln, and
his selection as governor was an
other illustration of Mr.. Lincoln's
estimation of capabilities of men.
Nye had been prominent both as
a lawyer and jurist in the state
of New York, and was the first
president of the metropolitan board
of police of New York City
He is said to have been one of
the most persuasive political cam
paign orators of his day. During
the Lincoln campaign he accom-
panied William H. Seward upon a
stumping tour of the western states.
He is mentioned along with Thomas
Star King, the orator-clergyman of
San Francisco, as performing heroic
work in keeping California and Ne
vada steadfast for the union during
the war
The discovery of the Comstock
lode made Nevada a prize worth
the while of any government. and
it is claimed that David S. Terry,
of Terry Broderick duel fame, car
ried the commission of Jefferson
Davis as governor of Nevada, and
that he was only waiting the OBJ
perfume moment to assume author
ity.
What might have been the result
to the nation, had Nevada come
under the control of the confeder-
acy would be difficult to imagine.
If the half-billion dollars of gold
and silver, which the mines of
Nevada produced during and in the
years Immediately following the
civil war, would have been diverted
to the confederate treasury and Ne
vada have become a confederate
state, then might the fears of Pres
