STRIKE BREAKERS
FOR SILVER PEAK

A carload of strij ebreakers, %
in all, recruited by C.. II. Rainier
OF Goldfeld to take the places Of
the striking miners on the Silver
Peak properties at Blair passed
through Goldhcld from Los Angeles
last night and reported for work
this morning.
The strikebreakers were re-
curited by Rainmer in and about
Los Angeles upon orders from
the Silver Peak company and it is
stated that 8 nun Der of them have
worked in the vicinity of the
Silver Peak properties before. On
the train from Goldfeld to Blair
was Charles Kielhauter who was
deputized a few days ago by Sheriff
Ingalls, regarding the Blair situa
ton.
According to Sheriff Ingalls, the
striking miners are all moving out
of Blair and the hill was practically
deserted yesterday. A number Of
the miners have come to Goldfeld
to take positions hero while many
more have gone to California.
According to authentic informa.
ton no more strikebreakers will be
brought in, as the men secured in
Los Angeles are miners for the
most part and are insufficient in
numbers to successfully work the
Silver Peak properties. So oldfeld

4 STATE FAMILY BIBLE

Kentucky is one Of the southern
states which has recently adopted
a modern law for the registrat ion
Of Vita statistic, a y the Journal
of the American Medical Associa-
ii on Put into force a little over
a year ago it has been on trial.
As usual. it encountered opposi-
tion Some people were unable to
see why births and deaths should
be recorded; others did not like to
90 to the trouble to make out an
orderly record of these occur
rences. Because Physicians and
medical organizations led the way
in securing this needed legislation,
it was, of course, regarded as
something for the benefit of physi.
clans rather than for the public
good. Shakespeare asked and so
have many philosophers since his
time--"What's in a name?" and
the wisCst of these irQuirers have
recognized the importance of NAM
ing Il thing properly, if il is to
stand well in tn @ public eye.
Eviedntly this fact is recognized
in Kentucky. The leading edi-
torial in the May | issue of the
Kentucky Medical Journal, under
the h aoing name the Babies"
discusses some Of the diff culties
encountered in putting the new
law into effect. In this connection
the editor philusophically refers to
the State Bureau of Vital Stati-
sites AS "Kentucky's Big Family
Bible \ happier name could not
we'll be devised. When the people
of Kentucky understand that the
object IF birth registration is TO
record the name and date Of ar
rival OF each little citizen Of Ken
tn ky so that the state is simply
exercising the same care that
leads n father to inscribe each
birth in the family Bible public
support Of the meagsure will be
Increased and assured.

OF JULY
STREET PARADE

An Interesting meeting of the
4th of July parade committee was
held yesterday afternoon. The
head OF one large 10 al enterprize
h 5 a agreed to donate $50 if the
first prize for the best float be
raised to 500. Ii was decided TO
accept this offer and if made good
the first float prize will be 500:
something worth trying for and
should bring out some elaborate
floats.
A feature will be the boys and
girls bicycle division. A prize will
be awarded for the most prettily
decorated bicycle ridden by a child
'der sixteen years of age. An
invitation mad been extended to
all outside industries, land
enterprises and large industries to
participate. All lodges from both
Elko, Winnemucca and other points
are expected to be in line with
floats or members in line with
regalia. The committee is working
to obtain, bowboys, cowgirls and
Indians from all over the state.
Also Cinnamon and Japanese and
others of foreign origin to get in
line In native costumes.
Some local stores are already
working on their floats and so far
there are at least three concerns
that will have two floats each.
Some are laying great plans that
this parade will be something
well worth getting into and worth
coming q long distance to see.
The committee has decided to
make a separate parade of the
automobiles: this parade being on
the morning of the 5th. There
should be a long line of these and
we want all who own automobiles
to decorate their cars and get in
line.
The committee asks every n in
his county to get in and boost and
show what ElkO county can do
when they make a big effort. If
you wish to get in this parade or
have any suggestion to offer your
COMMUNICATION is solicited.

THE SUPREME BENCH


With the state convention dis
posed of and the attitude of demo.
cracy fixed so far as national issues
are concerned. the interest of the
citizens of Nevada is ow naturally
transferred to the future in state
politics. The state has to
ominate and elect a ces to
James g. Sweeney who has an
nounced that he will not again be
ii candidate for justice of the
supreme court.
In filling this office the most
important consideration should be
the election of a man best fitted
by capability and inclination to
secure speedy, adequate and i'm
partial justice for all the people.
There are some offices particularly
executive and legislative in which
the question of political utilization
is the n which decides the result,
but the election of a supreme
judge involves more than the
triumph of n party over another.
1t involves the question whether
for six years justice will be
advanced or retarded.
Few offices demand the character
or meLtality required by a supreme
judge. A thorough training in
the law is essential, but it is not
all. Besides that there must be a
broad human wisdom and freedom
from narrowness, Partially and
prOvincialism. The mind must De
open to hear all, but armed with a
ripe judgement to discern the true
from the false, the good from the
bad, and there must be the firm
answering will TO act according
to judgement irrespective of any
other consideration.
The consideration of political or
party advancement have no part in
a judges deliberations, nor have
the considerations of private
fortune or friendship. No re-
wards can be expected from an
honest judge, nor any punishment
beyond the law. Training in Law
is no: sufficient, nor human
wisdom and knowl 'dge nor mere
honesty, but a combination of all
1t deVolves on the democratic
party to select a candidate for the
office of supreme judge this fall.
He must not only be a democrat
but possessed of such qualities that
the party can confidently recon-
end him TO the entire people.
In Ex-Congressman George A.
Bartlett, we believe we see a man
who comes nearest to answering
the abose qualifications.
Learned in the law, of unques-
toned honesty, with a valuable
experience in the affairs Of gov
ernment. a keen observer here
and in Washington has converted
his experience into a broad-mlnded
usefulness. He is open to argu-
ment but safe form sophistry and
deceit. From such a mar might
be expected decisions in keeping
with the progress If the times and
free from that bias anu faint of
expediency which is the mark of
small minds. His history so far
in Nevada's politics has proven an
independence of character that
would indicate a disregard for any
influence I'VE a sincere desire to
be right.-Reno Journal.
