NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Neuada Has Self Respect

keuado Has Self H-kespecf
Nevada has been the butt OF the ma
tion's joke for the past four years. OWNS
to the fact that easy divorce laws
exist in this State. Ridicule has been
heaped upon this commonwealth and a
finger of scorn pointed in this direc ion
by every State in the union. Divorces
granted in the courts have not been rec
osnized as legal by the courts OF other
States. The conditions have become
such that bona fide residents Of Reno
while travelling through the East refused
to register as arriving from that town.
The long soaght for change, will. IN
all probability. be granted by the next
Legislature. Instead of having Nevada
alluded to as the divorce State OF the
union, the Legislators appear in favor OF
having this State mentioned as one con-
tanning vast resources. AS soon as this
change is made Nevada will start forg
ing to the front with gigantic strides.
1t will show that the residents OF the
State are not without self respect

TEACHERS TO MEET At RENO
Change of Location Necessary by Lack
of Accommodation at Winnemucca

Official Announcement
To the Teachers and the School Officers
of Nevada:
The State Teachers Institute for 1919
is hereby called to meet at Reno, instead
OF Winnemucca as heretofore announc-
ed. and will open Monday, December 16
at ii o'clock a. m. Teachers and school
officers will note the change Of plans.
Events of the last few days have
shown that It is necessary to change the
place of holding the State Institute,
hence the above announcement. Owing
to certain unforeseen difficulties il will
be impossible for Winnemuccc to pro-
vide suitable accommodations for the
teachers and institute Instructors. When
arrangements were first made for hold
ing the meeting at Winnemucca, it
seemed certain that the new El Dorado
Hotel would be completed, and that
building togetherwith other accommoda-
tions would be sufficient to provide ex.
cellent rooms for all; later absolute as
surance to this effect was given.
The teachers and the people of Reno,
/ am sure. will heartily welcome every
visiting teacher and school officer to the
city, though the time of giving notice
is short and the change of location un.
expected. and they will. as heretofore.
do all in their power to make the visi.
tors feel thoroughly at home.

tion.

How to Get Cheaper
Sugar.

We now pay about $50, 600, 900
a year to other nations for sugar.
The only way we can ever hope
to get sugar cheaper is by en-
couraging its production here at
home and in our tropical posses
sions and dependencies, until we
produce enough wholly to supply
the domestic demand and leave a
surplus for export Then COM
petition will bring down the price.
This is precisely what the Dem
ocratic party, in the self satisfied
ignorance of it's leaders of eco
nomic history and conditions,
proposes not to do. The Demo
cratic proposal may have fooled
some of the people into voting
the Democratic ticket under the
delusion that their sugar bills
will be smaller. But if the Dem
ocratic plan becomes a law, sug-
ar will be dearer than now, and
at least 25,OOO men will be put
out of work.
If you don't believe this, just
watch and see how it will work,
now that the Democrats. have
won.-Chicago Inter- Ocean.

was born in Miami county, Ohio,

from this life Thursday evening,
November q, 1912, at his home
in Woodington, Darke county,

7 days. When but a lad he moved
with his parents to Ft. Wayne,
Indiana, where they lived about
two years and then moved to
Darke county, Ohio, where he
spent the remainder of his life.
He was a member of a family
of six children, and like most
children in those days, he enjoy
ed few of the luxuries of life.
At about the age of twelve years
he was compelled to make his
own way in life and with a brave
and courageous heart he fought
the battles we'll for one of his age

A Foregone Conclusion.

one term and that he will be sue

stand-pat or high tariff variety.
If the tariff is reduced as Wilson
and his supporters have promised
to do, disaster to the country's
business interests is bound to
come. And if the tariff is not
reduced according to promise,
the voters of the country who
honestly believe a low tariff poll.

No Rest from Tariff
Agitation.

President-eIect Wilson announ-
ces that he will call Congress in
extra session not later than April
Is next, to take up the subject
of tariff rev ision.
He gives as reasons for this
decision that 'the pledges of the
party ought to be redeemed as
promptly as possible" and that
by deferring action until the reg
ular session next December "the
benefits of tariff revision would
be postponed for practically two
years.
Two important considerations
appear to have been overlooked
by President elect Wilson in rea-
ching this decision.
The first is that, while the
Democratic party gave pledges
of tariff revision it failed to re-
ceive q distinct popular mandate
to carry out those pledges at the
earliest possible moment. The
Democratic ticket received little
more than 40 per cent of the to-
tai vote and Woodrow Wilson is
the most distinctly minority"
president since 1860.
The second is that it is evident
that a great many citizens would
prefer to the doubtful benefits of
Democratic tariff revision the
undisturbed enjoyment of their
present prosperity until the SUBJ
ject of tariff revision shall be
reached in the regular order.
