BUSINESS is
INCREASING

Although rated by Uncle Sam as
as fourth rate postoffice, the Gard
nerville office mas been transacting
the volume of business of a third
class office for the past three quart
ers. For the fourth quarter which
will end September Both, the bust
ness will amount to about the same
as the preceding ones. Postmaster
jacobsen is confidently expecting
that the postal officials will tale
recognition of the advance in the
amount of business in the Gardnec-
vile office and take steps for its adj
vancement into the third class list.
He also reports that the demand
for lock boxes is steadily increasing.
For some time past he has been IN
able to meet the demand and he now
has a section containing seventy

PROGRESSIvES
WIN POINT

Last Saturday the Supreme Court
rendered decision in the matter of
the placing of the Progressive party
on the state ticket. Several days
ago George Springmeyer and Sardis
Summerfield filed their list of names
for the Progressive Presidential
Electors and the state ticket with
the Secretary of State. Mr.. Brodi-
gan in turn asked an opinion of At
torney-General Baker as to the
designation of the party Progress
iye' as filed, or Independents" as
many other lawyers claimed. Mr..
Baker then rendered decision that
the "Progressives" should go on as
independents the same as any
other free lance candidate.
Summerfeld and Springmeyer
the asked the Supreme Court for a
decision and asked for a writ of
probitlon to prevent the Secretary
of State from placing the Progress
i've candidates as independents, as
they maintained that the word PRO
gressives" indicated a party in full
working order. Many technical
points were brought into the issue
and the best part of day was con-
sumed in the arguments by both
Springmeyer and Summerfield.
By the court decision rendered
the candidates of the Bull Moose
party will go on the state ticket as
"Progressiyes" and not independ-
ents.
In the decision Justice Sweeney
discents, citing a recent Kansas de
cision. Judge Norcross and Judge
Talbot affirming the opinion.
This places the Bull Moose boys
on the ticket, gives them a party
name and they become a part of Ne
vada's political game and can be
figured on as future party with a
considerable following the first year
out. Another muddle of the elect
ion law has been Strengthened out.

new HISTORY
OF NEVADA

f. G. Elms, spent several days in
the Valley this week gathering data
for the new Nevada history which
is to be published by Sam P. Davis,
the noted Nevada journalist No
less than forty able and brilliant
writers are now engaged in prepar-
ing articles dealing with the history
of Nevada. Such men as c. C..
Goodwin, Wells Drury and others
are assisting in the work and this
will be the only authentic history
ever published of Nevada and will
be of great interest and value to all
Nevadans.
Speaking of early days Judge
d. w. Virgin of Genoa, remarked a
few days ago, that before the state
government was formed the people
of those days called this vast terri
tory Washoe and it was known as
such all over the coast. Mr.. Virgin
has been asked to contribute an
article to the history.
Inasmuch as the first capitol of
Nevada was located at Genoa and
much of the early-day history had
its origin there, the new history
will be of much interest to the
people of Douglas county The
history will be published in two
large volumns and will cover every
industry in Nevada from their in
ception down to the present day.

in fact. to the father of a family of school age
70 hastens its coming except 1t be the maturity
of note All through the State there will be
feeling OF unrest and anxiety until it is known
what the State Board is going to do. The
ghost OF change in books sits at the breakfast
table along with the high cost of living Are
the books to be changed again? Parents OF
children tremble AS they ask themselves the
question?
This anxiety is In part caused by the fact
that there are separate adoptions of books for
the grammar and the high schools. Changes
thus come to pass with disconcerting frequency
But while the wisdom seems evident of policy
which would cause the book question to be
settled for all schools at one time. ii is doubt
full whether the sentiment against any adop-
ton whatever at this time is not mistaken
one. a complete change of books in the gram
mar school will not. of course. be made. Pos
sibly. none at all will happen. But book is,
after all, an important matter, and it's cost in
comparison with other things of far less i'm
portance is trifing. To deny to the children of
the schools a better book than that they now
nave, stHlpIy on account OF u IIidl more lHHaBi-
nary than real. would be to deny justice TO the
children.
II is the fact that schoobook adoption is
based on the certainty that new and more pro-
gressive books constantly being, If we may
use the term, invented. Less than anything
else. does education in theory or practice stand
still Nothing is quite SO revolutionary as
a book which replaces the book that dealt with
n similar subject less ably. Every law and
medical library, for instance is morgue in
which is buried many a masterpiece that has
lost its usefulness So that TO contend for an
excessively long term between the periods of
letting contracts for schoolbooks is to coun-
sci a policy, in the case of every out of date
OF dead-aIiVe
Properly the State Board has the, fullest
discretion in the matter Its record in building
up and reforming the educational system Of the
State should give full assurance that it will be
wisely exercised. II there are changes in the
books at this time It may be depended upon
that they are only such are vital to the real
needs OF the schools.

GUESSING ABOUT JEFFERSON.

There is nothing quite so futile as the sort
of talk INDUCED at the recent Jefferson ban
quet. when a number of prominent Democrats
gave their ideas as to what the sage Of Month
cello would do If he were now engaged in cur
rent politics
Significantly. no two speakers came any
where near agreeing. or at least each one
thought that Jeffersons interest would be CEN
tered on his own hobby.
The truth of the matter Is that jefferson
himself would hardly know what to do. were
he present in the flesh. He would have to find
himself among utterly strange surroundings.
What he would do after analysis OF the com
pick situation that is now engaging the coun-
try. no one of those who spoke of him can pos
sibly suggest.
The very good reason for this is that Jcffer-
son is conceded to have been genius. No
such concession can be made for either of the
prominent gentlemen who spoke at the ban
quet-not even the Commoner from Arkansas.
Ii can. of course, be assumed that Jefferson
would take the side of the people'--but how
he would determine what that side is, Is en-
trely another matter. Mr. Bryan is for the
people" SO is Woodrow Wilson. SO is Judge
Gaynor. Governor Harmon. Beachamp Clark,
Theodore Roosevelt with all four feet and
his tail over the dashboard--and even Mr..
Taft would probably make some such modest
plea. That this is true Is largely the result OF
Jefferson teachings, OF his passion for human
liberty. But out of his teachings, as out Of
the fundamentals of any great prophet come
the ifty-seven different varieties of belief.
Each man knows what the great man he fol-
lcws would do, and forthwith does il. But
TO one can possibly solve such problem, ex-
cept as he sees the great man reincarnate in
himself,
There being but one rencarnation of the
composite spirits of Jefferson, and Lincoln
with strong dash of Napoleon). were not
the Jefferson banquet speakers encroaching
somewhat the Colonel's preserves?
