every VIRTUE HAS ITS VICE

Out OF a des ire to better our
condition comes the greed of wealth

preservation comes base selfishness;
the feeling Of self-respect pushed a
little too far becomes pride and
vain glory; faith degenerates into
crenulity worship into idolatry,

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES

Rev. Henry R. Rose in tie
Newark Star tells the story of a
young minister wfo had recently
taken charge of a small parish Ia
Vermont. He aspired to greater
things aid a large field, and in hope
that his reputation would travel
beyond the limits Of the village
to which he had been sent he threw
into his sermons all the force and
eloquence at his command. He was,
however, totally unprepared for
what was intended for q compIi-
ment, but which was put to him in
such a way that it left him in
d Jubt as to the real impression he
had made. One Sunday morning,
after an especially brilliant effort,
he was greeted by an old lady, who
was one Of the most faithful at
PENDANTS at all services. Approach
ing the young minister, she said:
"Ah. sir, we do enjoy your sermons
so much; they are 80 instructive.
Do you believe It, we never knew
what sin was until you came to the
parish"

GOVERNOR MUST ACCEPT
PREFERRED BONDS

In view of the decision of the
supreme court in the suit to compel
the governor to accept the gift of
$4O0, 900 worth of North Carolina
state bonds which were issued
during the reconstruction period
and which were repudiated by that
state the legislature should pass an
act amending the law in such
way that the state will not be
compel ed to accept the gift and
thus become collection agency to
collect worthless debts against her
sister states.
North Carolina suffered enough
during the reconstruction period
without being forced at this late
day by sister state to pay debts
her courts have repudiated.
If Nevada accepts these bonds,
it means almost endless litigation
if she tries to force their collection.
The expense of this lit cation the
people of Nevada will have to pay.
The legislature should amend the
Gift" law so as to prohibit the
state from accepting any gif is of
worthless bonds that involve
litigation againgst. state for their
collection. Nevada does not need
any such financial assistance.

THE NORTH CAROLINA BONES

After over year of litig alton
in matter affecting bonds of
a face value of over $500, 900, and
which involved in it's ultimate
development contest in the United
States Supreme Court between the
State of Nevada and the State of
North Carolina, the supreme court
Tuesday ordered the governor to
accept the proffered gift of l45
bonds of the State of North
Carolina.
The decision came as a result of
the sueing for a writ of mandam us
directed against Governor DECKER
son by L. F. White, one Of the
parties in interest, and while the
writ is ordered issued by the
supreme court, it will not be made
effective until after tie rre.tnt
session of the legislature expires.
1t is possible that the legislatu re
may amend the law under which
the bonds were offered as a gift to
the state, and in that case the
decision will have no beneficial
effect so far as the applicants are
concerned.
The opinion, written by Justice
Talbot, takes the position that
wheL the legislature desien: ed
the governor as the person to
receive all gifts intended for the
state, that the designation was for
convenience merely and that the
duty imposed on the governor was
a ministerial one, solely with no
requirement as to the exercise of
discretion.
The act in question on which the
suit was brought was introduced
in February, 1901, ia the Nevada
legislature by Justice Sweeney
himself at the request of then
Governor Sadler. 1t was passed
unanimously and was signed by
Governor SadIer. Under it's pro-
visions a gift of 100000 from
CT arence Fl. Mackey has heen &C.
cepted by the state.
Justice Norcross submits a
dissenting opinion in which he
states that in his opinion the bonds
offered have no value and that the
state should not be required to
receive them. In opposition to
this it Is stated in the opinion that
there is evidence that the bonds
have a market value of 100000 or
more.
Governor Dickerson's position
was that the offer was merely a
scheme to use the state of Nevada
as cats paw to validate and
increase the market value of b huge
block of the Carolina securities
which had been bou ght up by q
coterie Of spectators.

upon the right side of the face, body
and upper part of the right arm Fri
day while playing with matches.
Shortly before the noon hour Mrs.
Trantham was attracted to her son
by his cries, and was Mortified to find
his clothing ablaze. The flames were
quickly extinguished, but not before
the little fellow was quite painfully
burned. A physician was summoned
and medical attention rendered. The
burns caused the child the most ex-
cruciating pain, but it is thought that
he will soon be all right again.
