When Judge Katie convened

the defense to dismiss the case of

1t will doubtless he concluded
before winter comes again.
This morning was undoubtedly
the coolest this section has ex.
perienced this winter. yet TIE
lowest thermometer we have heard
of in town registered ten degrees
below zero. This is nearly summer
weather in comparison with the
usual winter in this altitude.
We have been Informed that
several parties are trapping
beaver up and down the Humboldt.
1t is also said that the trappers are
violating the law. If our infor-
nation is correct, the game

- In his address to the legislature
yesterday, President Stubbs asked
for 1926. 002.70 for new buildings
and other university purposes. In
the course of his remarks, he said
the university would probably
receive private gifts in excess of
$250,000 during the coming year.
He did not state who the generous
persons were. The seed sown by
Clarence Mackay is bearing fruit.
H. E. Christie Rero's ex.city
clerk that stole everything in

en1bczzling the sum of $50 paid
him for cigar stand licenes. A.
F. Cunningham, his deputy and
partner in the looting of the city,
is now on trial for the same offense.
These young men went the pace and
now they face the penitentiary.
Both were popular young men with
bright futures, but the click of
the roulette wheel and faro chips
was too much for them.
If the legislature appropriates
all the money asked for in the bills
pending before it, the state tax
levy for the next two years will
reach the limit, 81 on the 500

the state line to Winnemucca; DR..
Stubs wants 100000 for the

exposition; Senator Mills wants
$50, 900 to build an annex to the

TAFT OR HARMON

The panic of 1907 was brought
about to secure the passage of the
Vreeland-Aldrich bill which was
passed and approved May 30, 1908.
This law provides for the issue Of
asset currency. Under this law
fifteen national currency associa-
tions have been formed in different
sections of the country. The larg-
est association includes 36 New
York city banks with a capital and
surplus of $239, ,122,OO.
This gigantic money combine
dominates the wealth of the coun-
try and is now preparing to spring
a new monetary system spoa ths
country at the next session Of con-
gress when the commission, COM
posed Of such men a. Bonynge, of
Denver, and exoongressmen who
were defeated one year ago. The

power.

1t will probably take less cash to
elect Harmon than Taft, hence
more money will be spent TO CON-
troll the democratic convention than

Resolution submitted by Mr.. Ii

follows:
Whereas the mineral and other
resources of Alaska belong 10 al
of the people of the United States;
and
Whereas under existing law thsss
resources must remain undevelopeA
or be turned over to private monop-
oily, through control of Transports

Resolved, That while the peopb
of Alaska are entitled to, and ot
right should be granted by appro-
pirate congressional action, the
largest measure of home rule, with
its representative assemblies res
ponsible to the people, it is the
sense of the senate that the gov

all railroads, docks, wharves, and
terminals, make provision for oper-
ating mines and leasing mines at
reasonable royalties. with suitable
safeguards for prevention of waste
and security of life, and, in gen.
eral provide for proper conserve
tion and development of the nat

WINE IN FRANCE
Eyesight Specialist

Thomas A. Edison, travelling in
France, speaks with admiration of
the vineyards.
The French people have reason
to admire and love those vineyards.
They have represented real tenn
perance for centuries. They have
built up strong, sober, intelligent
men.
If Americans would give up the
cursed whiskey, which is drug
and not a drink, if they would SUBJ
stitute the natural wines that this
country can produce in quantities
unlimited, and the light beers, of
which the brewing has been
brought to 80 great perfection in
America, there would be no serious
drink problem in this country.
Whiskey, gin, brandy and the
other poisons should be controlled
by law, as morphine and opium
and the other drugs are controlled.
Natural wines and beers do not
lead to drunkenness. On the
contrary, used exclusively, they
take the place of alcoholic poisons
and produce temperate people

ovER-EDUcATING OR OVER
CRoWDING3

We are hearing q great deal
about the oyer-edncating of chill
dren, especially at the present time
when there is much criticism-eSn~
corning the high course. But
We wonder II those who are finding
fault With oysr-educating give any
consideration to the over-crowding
Of the schools.
One OF the replies made to the re-
cent report Of the special committee
OF the State Board of Education, to
which report we have already re-
ferred In these columns, comes from
-Io1. Theodore J. Green. supervising
principal of the schools at Riverside.
Prof. Green says that the state
ments contained In the report of the
special committee r not aues-
toned. He declares that the condi-
lions complained oil have been we'll
known to him for many years, and
his observations have not been con-
dned to any one locality. Prof.
Green's reply, which Is In the form
OF an open letter to the state board
committeeman who made the inves-
tigation, gives his idea OF the cause
OF the condition OF the high school
pupils as follows:
"One need only visit at random
almost any school in mi city, town
or village to find this cause. There
he viii most likely behold forty,
~forty-1ve, fifty and even, now and
then, sixty or seventy children hud-
died in a single unyentilated room,
under the charge of n teacher.
These f~orty-seventy pupils represent
all grades of intelligence from the
high-grade imbeeile to the exceptions
ally bright child, all forced more or
less by the SYSTEM to trudge along
at the same intellectual pace.
"a physical impossfbiifty Is placed
upon the teacher, and this farce is
kept up for eight or nine years.
when the clamor comes for admis-
sion into the high school, and here
uader rather more favorable physical
conditions at least the farce Is main
tanned four years more to repeat
an old political slogan.
lis III any wonder that the work
fails2 is II not q miracle that the
normally bright child has any men

II isg
"The remedy is hard TO find
because 1t Ia concealed below the
greenhacks' OF the taxpayer.
IT seems easy to secure appro-

the welfare Of the child"
There is q great deal OF truth In
what the Riverside professor has to
say. Populations increase and this
attendance at schools grows with 1t,

BUILD Al NEW STATE HOUSE.

BUILD A NEW STATE HOUSE.
We are told that. even with the
additions that have been made to
the State House at Trenton, the
building is still overcrowded. The
State House has been added to from
year to year, until at the gresant
time 1t is q condemnation of cor
ridors and Chambers, requiring a
Trhart for the average person to find
his way about.
The state or New Jersey has Just
closed its fiscal year. The report OF
the treasurer shows a large surplus.
There is no debt. We contend,
therefore. that tor such q wealthy
and prosperous state the present
State House is a disgrace. II the
money that has been spent in vari-
Gus additions had been saved and
put toward Z rev building, : hand
some structure could have been
erected IN Trenton by this time. and
it would be a credit to the common
wealth.
1t seems the time has come to call
a halt on the jobbery that takes
place from year to year. Let the
state hire q few buildings about the
capital for a year or two. In the
meantime set aside an appropriation
sufficient to erect q handsome new
State House. This Will give New
Jersey something to be proud Of. and
at the same time win furnish ade-
tquate accommodations with the
rapidly increasing business Of the
state.
