WOULD PURIFY
OUR ELECTIONS.
Only Three Glasses of Men Can Afford to
Hold Office, The Rich Man, the Man Who
Does Not Spend Money to Be Elected,
the Corrupt Man Who Expects to Get
Back What He Spends.

The corrupt practice act is the key
to the situation.
What can be more desired than
purity in politics? Who is there
who will stand up and say that he
believes in corruption in our cleo
tons? Not one. There may be
those who prefer such conditions
by they will not say so openly.
But the bill mentioned was defeat
ed in the assembly. What was the
reason for. it? The defeat of that
bill may be attributed to the same
cause to which every bad law can
be charged. that is, to the indiffer-
ence and lack of intelligent cooper
alton of the people. l do not know
the name of a single man who voted
against that bill, nor do | wish to-
i will give them, however, the
credit of having been animated by
pure motives, but the bill as it pass
ed the senate, ought to become a
law with some additional provisions.
The only way to- get the desired
law is by the intelligent co-opera-
ton of all who believe in good gov
eminent. 1t can be obtained. 1t
SHALL BE. But there must be or
ganization to procure the election
to the legislature of those who
will pledge themselves to vote for
such a bill. and in the future, to
punish those who are elected pur-
suant to such pledge, and then
betray the peoples trust.
There is common practice among
candidates for Office which is rad
ically wrong; that is, the peddling
or distributing of cigars and Ii
quors while campaigning. No man

Another custom which is a bur.
den to a candidate is that of hav-

exists in cities, where, as a rule

Merely Mary Ann" with beau
tiful Marporie Rambeau playing the
title role, is the attraction which
is offered at the Nevada theater
on April 8. Probably no comedy
written in recent years has pleased
so many hundreds of thousands as
this one written by Israel Zangwill.
In Marjorie Rambeau the theater-
|gcer will see the most lovable and
appealing Mary Ann that has ever
played the role.
: Miss Rambeau is delightfully."-
sweet and innocent in picturing the
life of the little English housemaid
whose heart is pure and generous.
While you will laugh many. many
times at Merely Mary Ann" there
will be times when the tears will
dim the laughter in your eyes.
Miss Rambeau paints a clear por-
trait of girl whose heart informs
her intellect She pictures something
more than the heart of an honest
girl. This wonderfully dramatic lit
tie artist paints a portrait of a
human soul.

a derisive fling at the British fol

ciInging to caste worship. Mary
Ann is an orphan, and a servant
in a cheap London lodging-house.
The great man in her eyes is a
young composer, of birth and breed
ing, but penniless. Her worship
of this young man is more like that
of loving. dog than that of a
human being. She loves to wait
on him, brings him his tea, cleans
his boots, airs his room, and to
his great annoyance, constantly ar
ranges the things in his apartment
Mary Ann finally parts from the
composer as she inherits an inn
mense fortune from brother who
went to America. When the news
comes to her that she is an heiress
lshe pleads with the composer to
accept the legacy, while she will
continue to wait on him as before.
Unwilling to impose on her guiless-
ness. the composer goes his way and
she goes hers. Five years later
they meet. He is famous now.
During this separation Mary Ann
acquires an education She is ac-
cepted as lady and he as genius
and nothing more is needed to ac-
lcomplish the expected happy ending.

Hon. Geo. A. Bartlett, Who Declares His
Non-Partisan Candidacy For Justice
OF the Supreme Court

To the People of Nevada:
Believing in the wisdom of the abso-
lutte Independence Of the judiciary of
partisan affiliation and its freedom from
political obligation or prejudice, here.
by respectfully announce my candidacy
for the Office of Justice of the Supreme
Court of Nevada, independent Of any
political party or organization.
Ii is my belief that the judiciary of
the State is to-day untrammeled by
political obligations. although elected
on party platforms. and, therefore. my
independent candidacy must not be
taken a. criticism of the present
office holding judiciary. Ibelieve, how
ever, that Nevada should be 10 line
with many of the older States which
have long since adopted systems under
which judges are selected without re-
gard to party affiliations, and whose
elections are had without political obli-
cations Of any kind or nature upon the

cations or rings Such precedent
should be established in our own State,
and whether or not am elected. be-
lieve that campaign of education in
behalf of the above principle might
prompt our next Legislature TO establish
a plan under which judges of the dis
trict and supreme courts shall be elected
as non partisan candidates.
It is proper for me at this time to ex-
press to the people of Nevada my deep
appreciation of the high honor hereto
fore shown me in twice electing me as a
representative in Congress. l tried to
perform the duties of that Office to the
best interests of my State and country.
and if elected to the high Office of JUS

shall give to the performance of its duties
the same sincerity and honesty of pur.

NOTES AND DEEDS TO
TAKE THE PLACE OF WILLS

A Los Angeles Judge holds that a
promlssory note, given in trust for the
benefit of a third person. is not legally
payable out of the makers estate.
There have been many such decisions.
It is great mistake for a person Of
means to endeavor to provide for friends
or relatives by drawing notes of hand
in their favor. About dozen years ago
a rich liquor dealer in San Francisco
made that blunder, and the notes were
refused payment by the executor of the
estate. Able lawyers advised against
suits, regarding the notes as worthless.
The legal principle applicable is that
note is merely promise TO pay-not a
true gift. And being drawn without a
valuable consideration it cannot be col
lscted by the payee, either against the
maker ia person or as valid claim
against his estate.
1t is different, of course, with a note
payable to order, and in the hands of
third parties without notice. But even
note negotiable in form, found among
the effects of the maker and decedent,
and evidently intended as bequest to
some one, is legally of no value. and an
executor is required not to recognize it
as claim against the estate.
Another and more common error is to
make out deed in favor of somebody,
retaining possession or control of it. as
by putting it in a safe or safe deposit
box. in the expectation that after death
it will be delivered to the beneficiary
and take effect as transfer of the prop
erfy described. Such an instrument is
worthless IN law. because a deed can
only take effect through delivery by the
grantor or his agent, actual or construc-
tive.
The fact is. however. that many such
undelivered deeds have the desired ef-
feet, when recorded after the death of
the grantor, because no one appears to
contest them or has knowledge of the
circumstances. Yet this does not lessen
the danger OF the practice.
It does not usually pay to try to beat
the lawyers at their own game.
The old saying that the man who is
his own lawyer has fool for client is
often exemplitied in actual practice. 1t
is not a mere invention of the legal pro-
fession. Sacramento Bee.

Physicians aud surgeons played
noble parts in the work of rescue. The
cloudb hurst, regarded from the view of
intense suffering and from the relative
proportion of killed and injured result
ing therefrom, will forever be looked
upon as one of the really serious hap
penings for which the present year has
been so singular in the history of time.
THAT the disaster was not more far
reaching in its destruction of life is due
to the fact Of its occurrence late in the
afternoon. A few hours later the en-.

Ii is estimated by good authorities

Last years output alone was estimated
s5O.OO0 cars. or s250.00O. 900 in value.
Assuming that the average cars cost not
less than $1,000 per annum TO run, this
would mean an annual outlay Of at least
$3.50 900, 900 year. Such vast expen-
a,,ora AS this must of course have pro-

WILL SIGN CANAL BILL
President Will Approve 1t, Although
Opposed to Some of Its Features


Washington, August l0.-President
Taft told several callers to-day that he
expected to sign the Panama canal bill
passed by the Senate yesterday carrying
provisions against the use of the canal
by railroad owned ships and granting
free tolls TO American vessels. The
President is said to have declared that
some of the provisions of the measure
did not NEE with his views entirely.
bat that he e, pected to approve it.
Railroad ard legal experts in Congress
hold the view that the Senate had au-
thorized a highly important extension
Of the power Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission IN adopting the Bourne
amendment to the Panama canal bill.
The provision would authorize the Com
mission to divorce competing railroads
and steamship lines wherever they were
found to operate to the detriment of the
public and would extend powers of reg.
ulation over water routes. Such con.
troll has long been desired by the Com
mission, but the water lines have never
conceded the right of the Commission
to supervise their business or their re-
lations with the railroads.
Little difficulty is expected in recon-
cling the differences between the Sem
ate and the House on the bill.
