JUSTICE SWEENEY'S
FOOLISH BREAK

During the cons liberation Of the
Shelor case by the boad of pardons
the other day, Judge Sweeney said
that he would have a bill introduc-
ed into the legislature to make it
!ustifiable homicide whenever a man
kills a newspaper man who has
criminally libelled him. For this,
he is being grlled by the state pa
pers. The Reno Gazette dishes
him up as follows.
"And now Justice JimmieSween-
ed-we beg your pardon, it should
be Justice James G. Sweeney the
irrepresible and precocious young
mar whose pulchritude and blithe
spirits and giant wisdom grace the
supreme bench of this state, is GO
ing to introduce a bill making it
justihable homicide whenever a man
kills a Newspaper man who has Grim
naIly libeled him in the public

James lis on the right track,
but he is, as usual. too restrained,
too careful least he show sings of

complete, we believe that any news
paper mar who misspeIls a mans
name should be hung: and the man
who does not receive hi paper re-
gularly should be allowed the priv.
ilege of quartering the editor: any
citizen whose virtues are not aufic-
iently extolled should be granted
the right of shooting up tie entire
office. In fact, there are so many
things that Justice jim has left
absolutely untouched that we fear
the bill will not pass unless it is
made more inclusive.
In a few days we expect to he in

of the newspaper men Of the state,

must come either through a more
restrictive high license law, by
local option or absolute prohibition.
While we personally favor the
high license law, we are ready to
join hands with the local option
forces if that is the stronger
proposition to present to the
legislature.
If local option and high license
both fail in the legislature, the
an%ti-liquor sentiment will grow
and there will be a strong demand
for the submission OF a prohibition
amendment to the state constitution.
If that comes sQuarely before the
people we oelieve it will receive a
majority of the votes of the people.
While we arc not a prohibtioinist
and would not interfere with the
personal rights and liberty Of any
citizen, we believe prohibition is
preferable to the unrestricted sale
of intoxicating liquors. Under
prohibition. there would be less
crime, less sorrow, less misery
and more happiness and prosperity
than there is now in the state of
Nevada.
The Royal Arch, the society Of
the liquor iE e~rests, was active in
the last campaign. 1t sought to
elect men to the Legislature that
would do its bidding and defeat
any reform of the liquor traffic.
By this action, a sentiment has
been aroused that will not be
quoted until some means are given
the people to effectively %controi
this evil.

noon at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

years, accidentally shot and quite
seriously wounded little Melvin
Pedroli, aged seven years, son of

about shooting pigeons. Little
Willie Nelson playfully picked up
a 22-caliber rifle that was standing
in the pantry and in showing the
other children how he would do
the weapon was discharged wi tn
the above result.

TREMENDOUS INCREASE
IN BULLION OUTPUT

The mineral production of last
year is n of which the state may
we'll feel proud. amounting in
round figures to a little more than
$40, 900, 600. with a dividend
record of more than Sl2, 600, 900.
Five years ago the total output
was only a little above SIS, 600, 900.
which shows the wonderful record
the state is making. No state or
territory in the union, not even
Arizona, has eve before shown
such a remarkable increase in
mineral wealth.
Following is the estimated pro-
duction of the state by counties:

SANDER AND LIBLE

g A press dispatch from Carson,
dated yesterday, states that Judge
Sweeney, of the supreme court at a
meeting of the board of rprdons,
took occasion to free hin self of
some opinion which he had been
treasuring up since the Shelor
incident. incidentally the judge
remarked that he would exert
himself to have the next legislature
pass a law making a libelous publ
cation a plea in justfica ton of
homicide. In other words, if a
newspaper slandered an inliyiddal
grossly, the individual would
measurably be justified if he
shouldered his trusty gun and
puLctured the tire of his defamer.
The only trouble with this theory
of justification, however, is that it
makes every man the judge in his
W cause; and many men are
prone to regard themselves as
slandered when but the truth is
published concerning them And
naturally the first thought of a
man when he finds himself given an
undue dose of publicity is to exact
summary vengeance of its author.
But it must be admitted that a man
in such a mood is not the best judge
to determine the merits of a case
at such a time.
The suggestion of the jurist,
however, directs attention to a
need of our jurisprudence-and
that is a law making criminal
Islander a felony and punishable.
There is not much consistency in
Furnishing a newspaper man for
printing a story about a man, true
or false. when a private individual
can circulate n Identical same
story by word of mouth and escape
all punishment at the hands of the
Jaw. And of the two, if anyone
should be punished, it is the private
Slandcrer, since the newspaper is
open and above-board about what It
says, and its responsibility is easily
fixed, while the private traducer of
character may carry on his
Infamous tactics for months befor
his unconscious victim becomes
aware of what is being handed him.
And the victim never will. If he
lives a thousand years, be able to
justify himself to every person to
whom the SANDER was communi-
Gated, since he can never know all
of them.-Tonopah Bonanza.

LOCAL OPTION OR WHAT?

There was fair sized audi,ncc
at the Presbyterian church Sunday
night to listen to the discussion of
the local option question. Several
short addresses were made, urging
the petitioning Of the Legislature 10

There is no doubt but that there
is aIstrong and growing sentiment
throughout the state that demands
a moro effective regulation of the
lignor traffic. That regulation
