The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1911-02-15

This week will witness the introduc-
tion of one of the most important bills
of the session, which will provide for
the care of Juvenile delinquents of the
state. The sentiment of most OF the
members, regardless of political party,
is that some provision should be made
tor the youths who have a tendency to
go astray, and the bill will probably
pass almost without opposition. One
of the members in commenting upon
the proposed measure said:
at is high time that Nevada should
do something to prevent the youths of
the state from becoming criminals. In
stead of making big appropriations for
new prisons and the like, 1t would be
far wiser if we would provide home
for the young fellows whose excess of
animal spirits have led them into diff
cuties. 1t has been the history of
every community that when the youth
ful delinquent is thrown into the COM
pany of older offenders he almost in
variably becomes hardened and takes
up career of crime which finally leads
to the penitentiary. There is a need
for such home now, and as the state
increases in population the need will be-
come greater. | am most heartily IN
favor of the bill. i"
1t is not known who will introduce
the bill, but it will come up for con-
sideration this week.

Although the city election does not
occur until May, plans are being laid
by several aspirants to city offices to
capture the plums. The paid officers
are the city marshal, the city clerk,
the city treasurer, the city attorney,
the police judge. AS affairs have been
conducted, the Offices pay too much
money, for town Fallon's size. More
of the town funds should be used in
making permanent improvements and
less for salaries.

To the President of the
United States of America:

OHlteu states OI Ain6TlCds
We, the members of the local Fallon
Socialistic Party, State of Nevada, do
hereby protest against your partial
pardon and brief accompanying it in
the Warren case. We do not believe
in compromising his case. If in your
opinion, our Comrade Warren is guilty
of crime as charged and as the Feder-
al Courts have adjudged him guilty of,
he should be made to serve his sem
tence. On the other hand, if in your
opinion he is not guilty land it would
seem as though that is your opinion for
you have done the unprecedented act of
pardoning a man who refused to ask
for a pardon because not guilty. you
are under obligations as President to
the people of the United States to right
the great wrong done Warren By de-
claring him guiltless of any criminal
act and to declare his prosecution to be
one of persecution and at the same
time restore him to his full constitu-
tional rights with lecture or brief not
directed against the guiltless Warren
and his comrades, but against the guilty

ges who prosecuted an innocent man
for four long years.

The Republicans of the Nevada legis-
lature are beginning TO realize that the
Democratic minority of the assembly
scored d hit ON them when hey passed
in the assembly bill providing that
the term of Mining Inspector office
shall be four years instead of two, and
they are now looking around for a
means of defeating the bill. The bill
is sure to pass the Senate, which is
strongly Democratic, but the Republi-
cans declare that Governor Oddie will
veto the measure. If this bill becomes
law, Inspector Ryan, who is Demo-
erat, will have four years to serve in
Office, instead of two.

SOME ASSEMBLY DOIRGS
Lawmakers Acts That VIII In
terest The People Of This
Section.

Assemblyman Merritt, of Churchill
county, withdrew his Local Option bill
Friday and now the question of local
option. which has been troubling the
saloon men, is dead issue. Merritt
stated the reason he withdrew the bi
was that he had been given to UNDER
stand that during the last session of the
legislature the saloon men had been
promised that if they would not oppose
the Anti-Gambling bill, no law would
be passed interfering with the liquor
business. Not desiring to violate such
an agreement ne withdrew the local
option bill.

There is sure to be fight in the as

1t has been given out that if the law
makers attempt to pass special APP
preparation bill so as to hold an extra
session of the legislature, Governor
0ddie will veto the measure. The vic
tory Of the Republican party in New
ada last election was won on the slogan
of economy, aud to hold an extra
session just because the law makers
trifled away their time would, in the
opinion Of the Governor, not be an act
of economy.

one at present-France. And France
alone is hardly worth having. The
British might protect the French
against their arch-enemy, Germany,
but the French could never protect the
British
Germany has won Russia away from
its partnership with the London and
Paris governments. Austria Hungary
and Italy are German allies. Turkey
is friendly to the Teutonic combina-

with the English, is working against
England in India and China, threaten
ing Australia and on the worst of
terms with Canada
Summed up, the outlook is dark for
England. But there is one hope for
it-an American alliance If 1t can
get that even the loss of few colonies
would not be fatal, for these colonies
would surely remain in the Anglo-Sax-
on combination and SO would England
That is to say, the combination would
still be a combination, no matter how
its makeup might be altered, and En-
gland would b part of it.
The English talk about an informal

this in German, while Mr.. Emory
made his investigation in England,

Again. English statesmen are look
ing forward to the loss of most of the
empires overseas possessions. None
of them doubt that Canada is destined
sooner or later, either TO independ-
ence or to union with the United
States. Australians vigorously dis
like the motherland. They feel that
England is exploiting them to their
own disadvantage. The English reci-
procate this dislike with compound
interest, arguing that the island-con-
tinent is not worth much anyway and
costs England more to take care OF
than it returns in the way of rev.
enue. India is semi-mutinous and
England's own aIly-is doing
all that it can to provoke an actual
anti-English uprising among the Hin
docs, to the end that it may itself
become the dominant Asiatic power.
Commercially Germany is crowding
the British out all over the world and
selling what have hitherto been Brit
ish markets for itself. Politically
Teutonic influence is supplanting Eng
lish influence throughout Europe The
Germans have an eye on South Africa,
too, and will surely try to grab it at
the first convenient opportunity.
Just now England's outclasses Ger
many's but England is only keeping
its lead by expenditures which are
running it. Germany is steadily clos
ing up the gap, and though it is also
suffering from the burden of its arma-
ment, it is beginning to look as if it
could bear it no longer than England
could.

ENGLAND WANTS
PEACE TREATY
Would be Glad to Enter Into Agree
lnent With the United
States Of Amer
CONCERNED FOR FUTURE
Great Britain is a Declining Power
and no Longer Does Brit
annia Rule the
World.
CONCERNED FOR FUTURE

LONDON, April 20.-If America
wants a peace agreement with Eng
land. it can have one and welcome, SO
far as England is concerned. Indeed,
ANYBODY would have inferred as much
from what Foreign Secretary Grey and
other eminent Britons said when Pres
ident Taft preached the subject re-
Gently. These friendly utterances
failed, however, to give any idea of
the intensity with which English
statesmen yearn for closer relations
with the United States.
When an Englishman like Lord
Charles Beresford says, as Lord
Charles did say to the United Press
recently, that an informal under
standing will be quite sufficien. and
that an ironclad treaty isn't at all
neeessary-wh he says that, he
means that he doesn't think the
American people would stand for an
ironclad treaty at present, but he
hopes that If an informal understand
ing can be arranged. the ironclad
treaty will come later. But he doesn't
consider it judicious to put all this
into words as yet-he might scare the
United States off altogether if he did.
The truth is that Englishmen of the
thinking class are greatly worried
concerning their countrys future On
public occasions the British lion roars
today as loudly as he ever did, but in
the. seclusion of his den he has fits of
admitting that he isn't as young a. he
used to be and that sometimes he
actually thinks he's beginning to get
little feeble.
People who have happened to meet
only jingo Englishmen-of whom
there are certainly great many
may find this a trifie hard to believe,
but if they were to settle down to
live in England while they would be
surprised by the frequency with which
they would hear the expression-from
Enslishmen Great Britain is de-
Ginning power True they will not
hear it from the lower class English
men The lower classe5 are as well
satisfied as ever that their nation
rules the "oTld. Ut people IN the
upper circles know better. Further
more, they see with every succeeding
year further decline in their lands
greatness.
To begin with, England is In bad
way internally. 1t is very rich in
actual cash but this wealth is CON
centrated in SO few hands that it
does the country hardly any good The
overwhelming masses of the people
barely manage to live and something
more than 100000 are literally starv-
ing. Taxes are enormous and the poor
must pay most Of them Men like
David Lloyd George re trying to rem
edy this condition but it viii take
generations, no matter how well they
succeed, to transform the present
race of English lower clar weaklings
into what they ought to be.
