convention of tie National Association
Of Internal Revenue Employees at De-

ENLARGE THE CAPITOL.

One Of the best measures at present before
the state Legislature is that which proposes an
appropriation of $4,000 for increasing the ia
cilities at the state capitol There is urgent
need that more room be given to the senate
and assembly rooms. There is urgent need that
larger quarters be furnished to many of the
different state officials. With the large increase
in the agricultural sections of the state it is
imperative that officers be created from
time to time who will of necessity make their
headquarters in Carson City.
However, it would be as well for the egis-
lature to dispense with the usual debating so
ciety" proposition which accompanies the ma
jority Of measures of like nature and pass
the bill at once; with amendments to the effect
that the work commence Immediately and be
rushed to an early conclusion.

DISCRIMINATING DISGUST.

Members of the family of Lord Decies have
expressed themselves as very much Disguised at
the curious interest manifested by the American
public in the ceremony that made the titled
Briton husband of a New York girl less than
half his age. They think the scene about the
church, with the fighting, screaming crowds driv-
en- back by the police, would never have been
duplicated in London
We grant that their disgust is justified, but
the mob 5 curiosity not the only disgusting
feature of the event We might not overdraw
our criticism to say that the marriage itself was
one of those when a girl yet in her teens was
matched with man of her fathers age mere
ly because there was an enormous fortune ON
one side and title ON the other.
No one was responsible for the riotous scenes
about the church but the principals themselves
and the members of their families. They kept
the public duly informed to all the details
of expensive preparation of the gold flood that
was poured ont to transform the church into
garden of floral beauty and make the affair
the most spectacular ever staged i'll New York.
There is more reason for disgust ON the
American side. we think. as long as the daugh-
terS of our milionaireS are bargained away to

MINERAL COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Prospects for the future of Mineral county
are bright indeed, provided the board of com
missioners carries out the plans which it has for
mulated for the handling of the "infant" coun-
ty. 1t is self evident from the discussion at
the first meeting Of the commission held last
Saturday. that Messrs. Miller Belzar and Red
do not intend to be carried off their feet and
run the new county into unnecessary expense.
This stand is commendable and all credit will
be due the governing board Of Nevada s young
est county provided they stay with their APP
parent determination. However this much was
to be expected of commission, whose per-
sonnet consists of men with regulations for
business acumen and sagacity. Success to the

The Belief Is That the Mail Service Will Now Be Better
 Than Ever

The postal service conditions which have caused intense disfavor among Bir- mingham business men will be somewhat relieved this morning if the special de- livery as outlined by Postmaster Mont gomery is successful. Effective this morning it is stated that the new sched- ule will be so arranged in the business section as to permit fewer trips but Q more satisfactory service resultant from the cut in the railway postal service.
 The promulgation of this plan and 0 telegram of assurance from Congress- man Underwood that he would confer with Postmaster General Frank Hitch cock in regard to the cut were the two Illuminating rays that penetrated the gloom yesterday.
 The local officials believe the matter has been somewhat exaggerated. The belief is pre-eminent that the service as mapped out by Mir. Montgomery will avail

MIR. MOORE BOASTS
 COMMISSION IDEA
Says City's Energies Should Be Spent in Solving the
 Deficit Problem

That the misfortunes characterizing passing the legislature would continue in fnore serious ways if it becomes law was the statement of Alderman Walter Moore, who is opposing the commission measure.
 | He said in discussing the commission some one was intentionally blocking it's progress and that such actions should be looked into.
 But" said MT. Moore, who has been an alderman for many years, T think the enactment of such a scheme as the commission into law will spell ruin in this city. And I think further that the mis- fortunes that have already come to the bill and the restlessness of the people, will be far greater if it becomes law.
 'It appears to me purely, as an ob- server, that our city officials and alder men would be better serving the city, which pays them if they would get to- gether and solve this deficit of 5000 per day rather than playing around Mont gomery and trying to get a new scheme up to cause further complications.
 T have no idea that the commission will ever become operative in this city. However, while it is being fought and defended at Montgomery, poor old Bir- mingham is waddling along and every 24 hours that we live this city goes into the hole $10OO deeper. I have heard that the advocates of the commission desire to issue s1,0O0,000 bond issue to save the city when the bill is adopted would suggest that instead of putting this burden upon the taxpayers we get to- gether, cut out the expensive, suicidal appropriations and return to earth. I am not muckraker or a reformer of any kind whatever, but I have served Bir- mingham for many years, and never have seen the city facing so monumental a. crisis as now looks Us in the eye. l would that instead of running this com mission down the threats of democrats we save Birmingham before it is too late
 'I personally think that if the bill pro- NlulilS COlIIIllSslOH lOT blfIfllIlSHdl1l ldliS to be enacted the Mobile bill would come nearer applying here. They have the right idea down there. That is to refer the question to the people for settle ment. Now, if Birmingham starts in to adopt that bill it will lose before the voters by a big majority. Those who were for the commission voted for it re- gently while those who were against were of the opinion that the case was hopeless. If they had made fight the measure would never have passed If 1t were referred to the people now it would be killed at the polls as sure as fate.
 The people of this city, I believe, are tired of this incessant wrangling, the financial crisis and the hazardous meas ures looking us squarely in the face and I see no ray of hope except a quo war ranto process which will surely issue if that bill becomes law

CHAMPION" DRAW
 CARDS SUPPRESSED
OFFICERS OF BOYS CLUB SAY THEY ARE MERE GAMBLING DEVICES AND HARMFUL TO YOUNGSTERS

The champion draw game" which is developing the love of gambling among the young boys, has been suppressed through the active effort of Superintend- ent Maurice Willows and Secretary Ralph Barrow of the Boys club who found, after a personal investigation, that the game was one in which the element of chance'' was peculiarly active in produ- cling a Fascination for small youngsters.
 The scheme is an ordinary draw game at the rate of 10 cents a chance. Under each tag is the representation of some we'll known prizefghter at valuation of from cents to $1.25. The tests showed that 30 or 40 cents played averaged a net return of 15 to 20 cents, and it was furthen developed that the youngsters resorted to any means to obtain funds with which to try their luck. When 1t was found that every corner grocery and small drug. stores were making use of the scheme, the officers of the Boys club got busy, conferred with the city authorities and with the company mak- ing the sales of the cards, and after wards with the authorities and company jointly, and finally succeeded by agree ment on the part of the company to have the device suppressed.
 The sales company In signifying is intention to suppress the sales of the gambling cards stated that at present there are about 125 of the cards out. On this information Chief Bodeker has in structed his men to confscate the cards wherever found. It is fact that the safe of the cards has extended to Pratt City, Vivian, Corey, Acipco, North Birming ham and other suburbs The sales cont pany people while discontinuing the sale of the champion draw game in Brming- ham, intimate that they will carry the business elsewhere.
