legislature Kills
Padden Liability Bill
MEASURE Advocated by Trades Assem-
byI and State Federation
of Labor.
,uMpFD ON ALIKE BY
DEMOCRATS AND NEPusLiSANs
After Third Reading, Measure is Sent
Back to Committee
Cemetery.

Charleston, W. Va, Feb. 10.-(Spe-
ciall-once more Labor's pet mea-
snre has been killed. After being
cbloroformed regularly upon presenta-
ton every year, by Republican legis-
lature. the agreeable change lay in the
fact that this year the death blow was
administered by Democrat legisla-
ture. 1t is only fair to state, though.
that as the Democrats nave always
belped the Republicans in the annual
Killing. this time the Republicans
helped the Democrats and thus re-
turned the favor.
It was Padden's bill. Tom Padden,
member from Ohio county, had charge
of the pet Employers Liability bill,
the one endorsed by the American
s'euer. ZION OIL Labor, the West Vir-
sInia Federation of Labor, and the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assem-
bly. During his temporary absence
from the legislature, the deed was
done.
The bill had had such smooth sail
lng until then that everybody was be-
ginning to think it would pass. That
is. everybody who isn't anybody. The
people who do not work for living
anew better. They sawed wood and
"a d nothing, and just as the little bill
WI bout 20 crawl through the hole
i, ne legislative fence into the bright
hsht OF the statute books. the axe fell,
its head rolled away, and the dead
body was taken back into the ceme-
terry, of the judiciary committee for
burial.
There are still three other employ
ers liability laws before the legisla-
ture, and we are hoping that the CAPT.
talists, who thoroughly dominate this
lgisIature, will find enc of these suft1-
GENTLY mild to permit it to pass.
The Prohibition Amendment.
By vote of % to Z the senate de-
cided to submit to the people vote
on constitutional amendment to
prohibit the manufacture or sale Of
intoxicating liquors within the state.
The vote was surprise. as it was con-
tidently expected that eleven OF the
thirty senators could be depended up
on to vote against the submission. 1t
appears, though, that but ten could be
secured, and as it required eleven to
block it, three of the ten climbed into
the band wagon to wave their white
handkerchiefs at the folks at home. As
the measure passed the house it pro-
vided for the prohibition to begin Tin
the event it was decided affirmatiVely
by the people, in 1918, but the senate
s.de this a year later, and the house
~in accept the change.
Hearne to Stick.
1t is fixed for julie Hearne to stay in
the Senate from the First district The
committee has not yet reported, but
advance information has leaked out
which makes this prediction sure.

Exit the undertaking magazine.
J. P. Morgan, Americas uncroWned
king, will henceforward, it's said, ex-
ercise over the popular American
magazines a censorship which will be
as rigid as that Of any divine right
potentate of Europe.
There will be no more undertaking
of Wall Street, no more exposes Of
senators who are in the employ OF
corporations, asno more articles on
frenzied finance, at least, no mora
chat will hurt the powers that be.
For J. P. has organized a publish
ing trust which already controls d.
rectly many Of the most effective mag
azines, who built up their circulation
by telling the people part Of the
truth about finance and government,
which the subsidized newspapers, in
all large cities in the United States,
dared not tell The magazines which
Morgan does not control directly will
be put on the defensive by the con-
certed effort which Morgan and Wall
Street will make to divert national adj
vertising from them in case they at
tempt to print anything that King
Morgan might think had better remain
imprinted.
In q three column article the New
York Press told Of this publishing
trust, at whose head stands the omni
potent ruler Of America.

Into Submission.

New York.-That there are only
three magazines in the United States
that are not susceptible of Wall
Street control" as the result of the
efforts of the interests to stop muck
raking, was the statement made by
Benjamin B. Hampton, the magazine
publisher. One of these, he said, was
his own publication, Hampton's Maya.
zine, while of the others, one is
| weekly. Hampton also asserted that
because he had refused to refrain
from publishing articles attacking the
big corporations he has been sub
jected to financial presusre and every
effort is being made to ruin him.
Constantly. increasing pressure has
been brought to bear on US to change
our policy since Wall Street started
it's attempt to corner the magazine
market and organize the biggest of al
trusts" said Hampton. First this
took the form of withdrawal of adver-
Using. That falling to be effective we
have been threatened in various
ways. A few months ago we were
notified that if we printed an article
relative to a certain great corporation,
the president of that corporation
would make trouble for us with our
stockholders. We printed the article.
Within a month various magazines
and newspapers and news bureaus
began to attack the stock of Hamp-
tons Magazine.

about this time we were advised
that mo bank with Wall Street con-
nections' would have anything to do
with this corporation as long as it re
manned under it's present management.
Also stockholders advised us that they
mad been approached, apparently by
agents of Wall Street brokerage
houses, who endeavored to secure
their proxies to vote at the meeting.
"The American people are in the
grasp of the money trust In the past
the bankers only question has been
the character of the business man. his
experience and skill, the nature of his
business, its conditions and the prob
able chances of success. Conditions

F. w. Fairbanks
at the Helm

Word was received i'll this city last
evening that Fred w. Fairbanks had
again become proprietor OF the Lyon
County Times and had assumed the
management. Mr.. Fairbanks owned
and conducted the Times for years,
having moved it from Dayton to its
present location. a few years ago he
sold the plant and business to parties
who thought they knew how to run
a newspaper but since that time the
paper has had sort OF varied career.
Mr.. Fairbanks is one ol the best news
paper men III the state and will un-
doubtedly soon bring the Times back
to its old-time standard of local etfi-
cheney and power. Frank Cox. who
has been holding down case at the
State office during the winter, de
parted this morning for Ierington
and will handle the mechanical end OF
the Times. There is thriving field
for a good paper in Yerington and
the Times hcnceforth will fill the bill.

Calls Down
r. R. Officials

WASHINGTON, d. G., March 20.
Lane OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission has
charged the Southern Pacific Com
pany with trying to mislead the Com
mission with iIgure,, showing that "a
per cent. OF the business beyond Og
den is into, out OF or inside Nevada,
and 6S per cent. through the state.
Durbrow OF the Southern Pacific
attempted to explain that the figures
meant oS per cent. of the business
touching Nevada goes to .non-termi-
nal destinations; the balance to the
Coast
Il don't believe the explanation"
declared Lane. The Commission
rejects the inaccurate figures Dur
brow gave a different explanation
Monday, Lane finally exclaiming,
"Y our mind changes in FIVE minutes"
Lane denied that one-tenth of the
business beyond Ogden is Nevada
business. Bartine quoted Luce's for
mer testimony that half this business
is Nevada The Commission direct
ed Durrow to furnish corrections.
The testimony showed that the ter
minal rates to interior points means
loss to the Southern Pacific of $500
600. The transcontnental roads pre-
pairing tariffs are now reducing the
commodity rates. The various COM
panies interested want to keep Stubs

lines, off the stand while the shippers
want to get him on the stand and

Object Lesson
at Grand

The Poor Sick Men" is very
laughable and shows to what extent
a married man will go to deceive his
better half and also shows what trou-
bles they get themselves in by so do
ing and what lesson this episode
taught them. All married people
should learn lasting lesson from
this film.
The Secret of the Still" by kalem.
In this characteristic story Of the
South we are taken to the heart OF
the pine forests where the chief indus
try is the gathering of pitch from the
pine trees and its distillation into tur-
pentine. This story centers around
a young Southern girl who has two
lovers. She loves but one and the
discarder sultor attempts to discredit
his rival by having negro open the
main vent and allowing the turpen-
tine to escape. His deed is worse
than he anticipated and tie turpen-
tine catches fire and the still is par
TALLY destroyed. AS was intended the
finger OF suspicion points to the in
tended lover and it would have gone
hard with him had not the negro met
with an accident and confessed as he
was about to die. The real culprit
is tracked to earth and the lover OF
the girl is freed from suspicion and
wins the bride.
The Lover and the Count by Ed
ison, is very interesting and shows
the persistence of young man who
is passionately in love and also shows
the distressing circumstances he is
placed in by a domineering mother
All those contemplating mutrimouy
will miss something ii they don't get
to see this. Four reels every night
with two performances First per-
formance at 7:3O p m Second at
