MAKE WAY

The day of the big cattle and
sheep range is passed in many
states. Montana and Idaho saw
the big holdings cut up and sub
divided, while California and her
grants have been given over to
the land speculator. Nevada has
managed to holdout against the
invasion. mainly from the fact
that thouands of accrs of land
we're considered only sagebruh, fit
for the sheep and cattle ranges.
Recent development has changed
this view.
Only recently an Idaho outfit
that has used Nevada for sheep
pasture. has been compelled to
pick up its effects and move the
herds across the border. This was
brought about by the taking up of
Nevada lands by small farmers
who have found that dry farming
is not q theory or illusion but q
staple fact.
This occurred in White Pine
County, which was considered too
ia r for invasion by the truck man
and grain producer. The expert.
ments carried along the modernized
plan of dry farming have demon.
strated that where the sagebrush
will grow so will grains. The
result Is the forcing 4, out of the
large sheep holder and the incom-
ing of the smaller farmer. 1t
means the ultimate subdivision OF
large holdings, the farming of
tracts that were considered useless
and the rearing Of families where
the cattle king and the sheep baron
held sway. The free lands of this
state are pretty well exhausted,
and where the sagebrush thrives
there will the home.seek er
dominate.
Some one said that God
Almighty was making more people
but no more land" 1t appears
that the statement is true, as
the big range is being taken by
the man with the the pillow, and
the big holdings that have been
dominated by men who controlled
the springs and creeks with the
idea that he alone owned the
whole earth are being broug hit to
the level whers they rightfuly be-
long. Sure but steadily the plow-
man is forcing his fence line where
the greatest good to the greatest
number will prevail. The baron
is making way to the MAN With

A BABYS VALUE

Some time ago a discussion was
comme eel by tile Califoria state
board of halt. relative to the
financial value of a baby; since
that time Economists throughout
the entire country have taken up
the mat err, almost all placing a
differ mt price on the tots. How.
ever the fact Of the discussion
emphasizes most thoroughly the
proponderance of the commercial
instinct in the mind of the Ameri-
caan republic. No matter whether
the value of a baby be $4,000.
100000 or only $50. at which
figure one college professor has
placed it. it behooves us to take
more precaution for the safety of
life and limb of the little ones.
We are informed that, through
impure foods and accidents 1000
babies are sacrificed to the frantic
rush Of each day. II it is necessary
to impress upon the minds Of
grown folks the value of this loss
of life by reducing the tots to
dollars and cents all we'll and
good. We are told that the
thousand lives are sacrificed daily,
what of that? But when we are
told that each and every one of the
thousand had a certain value In
coin of the realm the commercial
instinct is Immediately impressed
with the great disaster Of daily
occurrence. -Tonopah Bonanza.

PENNSYLV4NIA'S GREAT ARCHBISHOP.

IN RCHBIsHOP RYAN, who died in Philadelphia on Saturday,
~ held a foremost place in the affections, not only of the mem.
bers of his church. but of the whole community. he was
honored and revered alike as a prelate and civic leader. Like the
late Monsignor George Il. Doane, who passed away in Newark not
long ago, he was closely and intimately identified with the daily
life and the moral and material welfare of the entire community.
A man of the highest culture and the broadcast sympathies, he
had all the winning qualities to make him universally popular and
beloved. He took a deep interest in public affairs, and was dis
tinguished by an ardent patriotism. A man Of splendid judgment,
his advice was sought In affairs of government. An evidence of
the sentiment of representatives of other forms of faith towards
Archbishop Ryan were the prayers offered for him in their churches.
Gould there be anything more touching than themessages exchanged
between the dying bed of Bishop Whitaker, fhe prelate of the
Episcopal Church, and that of Archbishop Ryan. There was no
anectation in those communications between two dying men of
lofty character. In the death of Archbishop Ryan his church has
sustained a great loss, but the work he set out to accomplish in
the city of Philadelphia is practically finished. By his wisdom
and tact and gentleness he transformed a city, once the scene of
savage religious riots, into one of complete tolerance. The spirit
that once disgraced the second largest city in America has dis.
appeared and the best loved and most reyered personality in that
city has passed away in the death of Archbishop Ryan.
