ACTION OF JUDGES Is
DESERVING OF PRAISE

The policy adopted by the justice
of the peace and police judge of Ely
in permitting no consideration to
stand in the way of making the prac-
tice of carrying concealed weapons
an obsolete one merits the commen-
dation of all peace loving citizens.
In assessing fines for the dis
charge of firearms Oh such huge pro-
portions that 1t becomes an amuse-
ment in which only the wealthy can
afford TO indulge, the judges of the
two lower courts are entitled to the
thanks of people of all classes.
The officers will undoubtedly have
the support of the community for the
decided stand they have taken
against persons who persist in max
ing walking a~rsenals of themselves.
They have followed the recommended
ton of the grand jury that the most
effective way of abolishing the
pastime is to mete out penalties
which will not soon be forgotten
by the offenders.
In affairs where gun toters terror
ize ~peaeeable communities, the life
of innocent people is often placed in
peril, and it is frequently the case
that persons who take no active part
in gun plays suffer serious eonse-
quences.
Justice Cartwright and Police
Judge Bragg have both expressed
the opinion from the bench that it is
remarkable that no persons have
been killed as a result of the appar-
ent disregard of the law respecting
the carrying of dangerous weapons.
particularly by persons who are UNI
der the influence of liquor.
In dealing put fines ranging from
$3.50 to $500 for convictions under
this particular statute, it is not nee
essary to state that the judges are
doing heir utmost to eliminate the
practice.

when they purchase from out-of-town
houses, and yet persist in the prac-
tice.
On several occasions in the past
the News has brought this matter to
the attention of its readers in an eff
fort to induce the people of the dis
trict to give the merchants here a
square deal. They are entitled to
your patronage and support and 1t is
your duty to stand by the man who
helps make the district. who pays his
license, who pays his taxes and who
is here to stay and help make the
community a pleasant place in which
to live.
But there is another feature
worthy of attention. and that is the
security you have when dealing with
the home merchant. Take the mat
ter from a purely selfish, cold. hard,
business standpoint and you will find
that it is to your interest to deal with
a man who will be here when your
goods arrive, a man who has built
up a reputation for honesty and who
will maintain it by guaranteeing
your purchase to be Just what he rep
resents it to be.
Numerous complaints have come to
our attention recently of persons
who have been induced by some
smooth-tongued %canvasser to order
goods from out-of-town concerns,

All attempts to locate the where

Andrews secured a elarionet from

for the instrument or leaving seeuri-
ty of any kind. lie displayed a line
of CON that was irresistible, claim
ing that he vas a regular customer,
and that he had obtained credit pre-
viously from Mr.. Schiller. Andrews
said that il was necessary for him to
have the clarionet for a dance that
was to be given at White River
Monday night. and finally persuaded
the clerk in charge of the store &c
give him the e%larionet.
Without making a display of finan.
cial resources. Andrews was success
full in getting a pair OF shoes at the
Campton Commercial Cos store
giving Mr.. Gallagher's name as
reference. Believing that the party
who made the purchase was a Gus
toner at his feed yards, Mr.. Gallag-
her guaranteed the payment of the
shoes over the telephone. because he
felt certain that he would be re-
munerated for his act of courtesy
when Andrews returned to the stable
to procure his outfit.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
STATE OF NEVADA, EXECUTIVE
DEPARTMENT.

In obediance to a long and a
beautiful custom to observe one day
in each year, specially set apart by
the constituted authorities for the
purpose of expressing gratitude unto
our Creator for the many favors be-
slowed, and in recognition of the
recommendation of the president of
the United States, l, Tasker L. eddie,
governor of the state of Nevada, do
designate
Thursday, November Thirfieth,
Nineteen Hundred and Eleven
a day of
Public Thanksgiving
for, the people of this state, and
recommend its observance as a day
of prayer and thanksgiving to the
Giver of all good.
There is much for which the peo-
pie of Nevada should be truely thank
full, for the year fast coming to q
close has added many thousands OF
acres to our cultivated lands; and
through the medium of artesian
wells, water has been found in diff.
ferent sections of the state, which
will have the effect of turning the
sagebrush lands into garden spots
and thereby bringing into our midst
large numbers of the tillers of the
soil, who are looking for permanent
homes.
Our mines are today the worlds
greatest producers of the precious
metals, and, not only are they add.
ing TO the wealth of the country, bui
are giving employment at the high.
est wage to thousands OF our people
Poverty is virtually unknown
within the boundaries of our Com.
mon-wealth. and while many of us
suffered greatly as a result of the
financial disturbance of several years
ago, yet today. there is but little tc
remind us of that unfortunate period
For all these blessings, and many
others which the All Wise Father
has bestowed upon US, let us be-
thankful, and let us beseech a con.
tinuance of His mercies.
On this day let us forget al
sorrows and disappointments, and
let us turn to an all promising fu.
ture, and with hearts and minds
prepared. receive the abundant bless.
ings which God will surely bestow
upon those who honor Him.
In witness whereof, | have here.
