IN THE LEAD IS NEVADA

The era of Publicity that has
been in force the past year for
Nevada is beginning to have its
effects Throughout the eastern
states. A recent issue Of the Bos-
ton Sunday Post said:
"Uncle Sam manages to spring
surprise on himself about the
middle of every year when he fini.
shes his annual count-up. He
always knows in advance, of
course, that New York state is go.
ing to rank first in population;
hut il gives him a jolt to discover.
as he did tins year, that the little
state of Nevada stands head and
shoulders not only above New
York. but also above the scholarly
Massachusetts, in the amount of
mo ney il spends per capita for the
educators of it's school children.

Snake charmer Finally Killed by Rep

Miss K, a snake charmer well

her coat into the woods with her. and
let II amuse itself by crawling over
the ground. She followed II about and
Kept n most careful watch over II (it

showed no disposition to go of into
the woods. as she feared Il might. but
came back to her and coiled around
her ms usual. She was warned sev.
eral times that the reptile was very
dangerous. but she grew more and
more reckless. and the snake appeared
to become more and mare attached to
her.
And then. one day. without any
warning. directly after a performance,
when she was caressing It In her own

It's head. looked at her steadily. and

NO CAUSE FOR GREAT ALARM

The enormous number OF defective
school children should not alarm us
too greatly. Bad as it all is. there is
plenty OF evidence that II Is an old
old phenomenon--as old indeed rs
man himself--but now more evident
because there are more people. II Is
Tess In rural districts. though still
present. and as the population is now
largely urban. II is quite natural that
the proportion of detectives should
increase, though as a matter of fact
there is no evidence that Il has. Big
cities are modern affairs and that Is
why their phenomena are being dis
covered. but the accounts OF London
some centuries ago showed deplor
able number OF detectives. probably
lar greater In proportion than in New
rork now. Though II Is appalling
that there should be nearly a quarter
million diseased school children. yet
The defects are OF minor things. while
formerly they were severe. The seat
OF most OF the trouble ia said to be
malnutrition, but II is not nearly 80

The LABOR UNIONS

AS it seems to us the labor
unions are standing at the parting
of the ways.
For long time in the Western
Federation of Miners. the violent
and conscienceless men in the
org inization were the leaders and
directors. and they prepctrated
many outrages in several states.
A bad lot have been in control
Of the Iron men. The |. w. WIS.
we do not include in any Legitimate
organization. 1t was organized by
men wh) were not only determined
to have something for nothing,
hut to have the loin's share.
But the great majority of men
in labor unions in our country are
as good men as live in any country
and only demand a square deal.
When we say the unions are at
the parting of the ways, we mean
that since the unmasking in Los
Angeles, the unions will have to
decide whether they will elect
their wisest and most conservative
men to fill their Offices or whether
they will elect the loud mouthed
and vicious element which has
crept into their associations.
If the former, they will grow in
rength, usefulness and stand
right along; if the latter, then
the time will come, and come
soon. when no man known to
belong to union can obtain
employment, for the public will
not long live with the feeling that
there is a lawless force in the
country which they must cater to
and obey, or be treated as the
ordinary hOld-Up or assassin treats
his victim.
The men tried for the murder
of the Governor of Idaho were
acquitted and that ends the case
with them, but the whole west
knows that he was killed because
as the executive of the state he
performed what ne believed to be
his duty.
The whole west knows that
killing of men in the two years of
violence that ruled in Colorado,
was all due to determination of
the Federation there to rule or
rui n.
All that will have to stop or the
unions will have to go. 1t is to
them to decide. Goodwin S

My dear Sir:

| thank you sincerely for your
courteous communication dated Dec
ember 18th, and also for the box of
Idaho potatoes, which have already
reached the executive mansion. It
will be very great pleasure to me
to follow your instructions and to
partake of these choice vegetables,
but must insist upon having them
served at our Christmas dinner, at
which time l am sure they will be
more genuinely appreciated and en-
joyed by greater number than at
the morning meal.
congratulate you and your asso-
ciates upon this wonderful evidence
of the progress and development of
a great industry in the state of Idaho,
and | extend my heartiest wishes to
you and them for Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year.
Faithfully yours,

AAJ oOai wi opduSlCI.
| am in receipt of your kindness
Of December 18th, advising me that
you have forwarded a box of Idaho
"spuds" for my Christmas breakfast.
Kindly accept my thanks for same.
A friend notified me a few days
ago that he would send me a turkey
for Christmas, and now that you
have sent in the potatoes and some
OF my wife's relatives are operating
afiour mill in eastern Washington,
the prospects for Merry Christmas
at the mansion are very bright.
Oysters and clans can be had in the
Sound for the trouble of digging
them, and | see no reason why we
should not go out of the old year
with flying colors. | will advise you
later concerning the eating qualities
of the potatoes.
Again thanking you, and with
kindest regards, am,

Dear Sir.
have just returned from Chicago.
and find your kind favor of the 18th
inst, and beg to state that the spuds
referred to have also been received.
There was a notice in our local paper
that such present was to be made to
the President of the United States
and each governor, and the result
has been that | have had more re-
quests in number for the potatoes
than have of the same, but it will
work out in some way. Our friends
seem to think that this is special
kind of potato which must have
some particular value and they there
fore want them for seed. We have
tried to explain the situation as best
we could.
Thanking you again for your very
kind thought, and with the compli-
ments Of the season, I remain,
Yours very truly,
