that many have become interested
in their spiritual welfare and are
becoming Christians.
Last night Or. Nowlin took as his
subject Sin A Rough Road to
Travel or "Thc Way Of the Trans
grcssor is Hard" This sermon was
one of the best yet delivered by DR..
Nowlin. and was listened to with
great interest by the congregation.
The members are assisting the pas
tor by personal work. and many are
being influenced to lead better lives.
Twelve new members have been ad-
dcd to the church roll since the be-
ginning OF the revival. and this
number will be appreciably increased
before its close.
The meeting will probably con-
tinuc through next week, the scr
vices being held at 10 o'clock each
day and 7:l5 at night. Plenty of
seats have been provided and a cor
dial welcome awaits all who attend.

Defeat Of the Purity Law

THE defeat OF the Talman Bill, known IS "The Purity of Elections
Law is something much to be regretted and for which the Republican
party is directly responsible. 1t passed the Senate and the Republicans
in the House seemed to regard it as a party measure and voteds ohdy
against it, They figured that the Republican victory of last fall was
brought about entirely by the expenditure of a quarter of a million dol
LIARS and that in some way the introduction of a Act doing away with
known Republican industry. For this reason the Republicans we're sol
idly opposed to the bill, one Of the best introduced during the session.
and The Appeal regrets to say that four Democrats 50 far forget their
party pledges as to vote against it also.
AT the next session this excellent MEASURE, which gives a poor a
the same chance o un for office and be elected. will be brought up
again and be made OF the planks in the Democratic platform.
1t prevents the wholesale graft by which candidates are stood up
and robbed by the gourmands who fatten off political campaigns, and it
prevents corporations from contributing to campaign funds.
The Republicans objected especially to this feature. They know
must OF necessity "a to exist. This bill. had it passed, would have
dissolved the partnership which has so long existed between the Repub
hcan party and the corporations.
When the people OF the State fully realize the worth of that bill
they will realize how they were buncoed by the Republican party when
it was slaughtered in the House.
The line up two years from o will make that proposed reform a
political issue and with both Houses Democratic the bill will be passed
Such a law hs. long been needed to stem the tide of political
ruption which has disgraced this State, and the Democratic party will
SET that the people get what they want.
THE following is a extract from an editorial o the late Nevada
Legislature in the last issue OF the Lyon County Times (Rcpubican),
and does not need any comment at this time:

et Legisature-we personally know a number-but collectively it is a
pretty poor bunch, judged by what it has and has o accomplished.
"At this writing it seemsp probable that the two mos. important bills
that have been considered-the irrigation and publicity bils-would be
killed solely by reason OF partisan politics being considered more i'm
portant than the welfare of the people.
"The professional politicians, who are supposed to keep their hands
on the public pulse, seem to be unable to wake up to the fact that the

who does not know this is not abreast of the times

Mother of Young
Marmion Says Theory
Of Suicide Is Absurd

1T is absurd for any one to suggest
that my boy tried to take his own life"
said Mrs. Robert A. Marmion at her
home in P street northwest, today. Il
talked over the long distance telephone
this morning with one of the physicians
at the hospital, and he assured me 1t
was simply a case of accidental gas
poisoning. He said that a defective gas
fixture was responsible"
Mrs. Marmion also denied that so far
as she knew there was any trouble be-
tween young Marmion and his sixteen
year-old wife.
Robert was In Washington yester-
day on his way from the West" con-
tinued Mrs Marmion, but was so anxious
to get to Philadelphia that he only re-
manned in the city a few hours. !
went part way with him.
1T had been my intention to go to
Philadelphia to see that Robert and his
wife were established comfortably in
an apartment of their own, and ex-
pect to go there shortly to see II they
are fixed up all right"
Marmion is twenty years old. and was
employed for few days on Wash
ington newspaper last fall. He was
married last october to Miss Virginia P.
Darden, Of 1125 Thirteenth street north
west The couple eloped to Rockville,
but when the clerk learned their ages
he declined to issue marriage license.
Mothers of the prospective bride and
bridegroom had got wind Of the intended
nuptials and lost no time in following
the couple to Rockville.
Marmion hurried back to Washington
to get the consent of his mother and
the brides parents, and after several
conferences Cupid won out. The cere-
mony was performed in this city the
following day
Mrs. Marmion is said TO have spent
considerable time with friends in Phila-
delphia since her marriage.
