The Same Thing

The Brewers Journal, quoting from temperance

to accept prohibition, says america wants nothing
OF the kind All it wants is to be let alone" That is
to say, the trade" wants to be let alone
there is nothing new about that Nineteen hun
dred years ago, as Jesus entered Capernaum certain
suphur-perfumed, cloven-footed individual made the

powers of darkness What they demanded nineteen
hundred years ago. they demanding now The
demand Of today will fare no better than the former
one 10 let the trade alone, while debauches our

No Chance for Argument


Men divided the question of saloon or no
saloon, and tarmnded in each class have respect
for the honest opinion of others. This temperance
ISSUE from whatever angle is looked at is an issue
OF educat1on and the chang of opinion through the
use OF proper and convincing argument But there
one issue on which good honest, upright men cannot
be dlv1ded-on which there be diversity of
opinion among good citizens and that is the question
of law enforcement
Concerning the situation Raleigh, North Caro-
lima, the News-Observer OF that city we'll says that
the grave duty that confronts the people of Raleigh
does not concern the who believes in prohibition
any more than it concerns who believes in high
license or some other method of regulating whisky
The question has passed beyond any question of
perance prohibition regulation of liquor 1t is
question of whether Raleigh believes in the enforce
ment of law and the uphoding of the majesty of the
law The News-Observer calls on the officials of the
city to suppress the blind tigers and bootegging
establishment.
Here is an issue on which the Anti-Saoon League
is willing to join all Others Opposed to the saloon
under all conditions and in all circumstances, the
League believes thoroughly in the enforcement of ex-
listing law whatever that law may be. Fighting license
the League nevertheless, is the relentless foe of the
who sells liquor without license and it gives
its aid freely in the prosecution of all offenders against
any law unQer the license SYSTEM Law enforcement
is one Of the Leagues principal preachments.
But how about the license men and the liberals?
The former will tell you that prohibition does not pro-
hibt and that there is hope in the regulated saloon
only But is he earnest consistent helper in trying
to secure law enforcement under either prohibition or
license? And the liberal fellow the who processes
to believe that prohibition is unfair and unust-how
about his attitude toward the law? If prohibition is
unjust, does he aid in such rigid enforcement of the
law that prohibition shall become unjust unpopular
and oppressive that the people will rise in their might
and overthrow it?
Not bit of it. AS rule, to which there few
EXCEPTIONS those who oppose closing TIP the saloons in
toto also oppose any enforcement of the law. The
News-Observer is right in calling all honest men,

new BUILDING
AT UNIVERSITY

MANY STUDENTS ARRIVE FROM

MECHANICAL EDUCATION

The completion and equipment o.
the new electrical building at the
University OF Nevada is credited with
being a strong drawing card brina-
ing TO Nevada many students from
California and other states and tue
registration list at the university
confirms the fact that more persons
are coming from other states this
year than ever before. says the Reno
Journal
The electrical building was bu'li
at cost of $4,000, and is consrl-
cred one OF the best equipped insti-
tutions of its kind in the west. The
equipment consists OF a wide range
of electrical machines and apparatus
permitting a practical acquaintance
with every department of an electri.
cal engineers work. In addition
there is a mechanical department
with all the details Of power. trans.
mission and erection within the ex.
perience of the student. A 200 h. y.
Corliss engine is a part of the equip
ment and during the course OF train
ing the student has the opportunity
of learning through practical expert
ence the construction, operation,
method OF testing and OF regulation
Of this standard type.
Several Of the students from Cali.
fornia have given as reason fol
their coming to Nevada the fact 'hai
they can learn not only theory bu
practice. They desire to obtain !
working knowledge of machinery and
electrical equipment, often as dis
tinguished from an expert insight In
to the finespun mathematical or sci
entific formulas OF the pendantic IN
gineer. Those who desire have ths
opportunity of coming closer to
practical apprenticeship in engineer
ing at Nevada than any Of tn
schools of the west. Others W.T.
would pursue the more refined pril
ciples find they have the banef
of an equally complete mathematics
and theoretic course.

MIRKOvICH MAY
NOT Be SHOT ON
The DATE SET
SLAYER OF ToNoPAH BUSINESS
MAN MAY GET RESPITE FROM
SUPREME COURT

The execution of Andrija Mirko-
vich. which was scheduled to take
place on the 23d of he present
month, will not take place on that
day, if the requests of the attorneys
is considered, says the Carson News.
His attorneys have filed papers In
the supreme court asking for new
trial but have neglected to ask for
stay of the execution until the
matter can be heard. Without stay
of execution being granted the war
den will be forced to proceed with
the execution.
The attorneys for the murderer
have been notified of the status of
the case and II they do not ask for
stay of execution the attorney gen.
eral will take the matter up with
the court and ask that the execution
be stayed until the court has time to
hear the plea of the attorneys. There
would be little use In hearing the
arguments Off new trial il the man
had been executed before the pleas
we're made.
II is possible that the execution
will go over until late in the fall as
II generally takes several months to
hear the arguments and arrive at a
decision.
This delay will tend to ease the
minds OF the prison officials who are
charged with the duty OF. executing
the prisoner and as the man has
chosen TO be shot rather than to be
hanged, the matter has been a most
disagreeable one.
