DISTRICT COURT

A session Of the District
court was held last night and the
Matthews case went to the jury
about 10 o'clock. The twelve good
r1en wrestled with until court
convened this morning when they
reported that they were3unable to
agree and were discharged.
The case of Frank Huber, accus-
ed of the murder of Vim. Billings
at Mountain City, was called. At
torney Dysart asked that Joe Nc
Namara be entered as associate
counsel for the defense. The re-
quest was granted. District At
torney CarviIle then asked that the
firm of Curler & Gedney be enter
ed as counsel to assist the prosecu-
ton. This request was objected to
by Mr.. Dysart who wanted to
know whether Mr.. Gedney went to
District Attorney Carvil!e and ask
ed to assist the prosecution of the
case or whether the district attor-
ney made the offer. Mr.. Carviile
answered that he had not heen sp-
preached by either member OF the
firm about being employed as as
sistant counsel. Mr.. Gedney was
asked the same question and de-
clined to answer. Mr.. Dysart also
wanted to know if the associate
counsel we're to be paid out of the
county funds or by private parties
and was informed that they would
be paid by private parties and
would receive nothing from the
county.
During the tendency of this
matter the jurors were excused I'M
til l 80 this afternoon and court
adjourned until that time leaving
the question unsettled.
At the afternoon session the en-
ployment of special counsel was
further considered and the court
took the matter under advisement
until &c o'clock tomorrow forenoon
and adjourned until that hour.

New Bed Of ScalIops.

The demand for sea food is a per-
sistent and an increasing one, so
much so that in some lines the sup
ply is threatening with extinction.
This is particularly true OF the lob
ster, which is every year becoming
scarcer and consequently dearer, and
even the succulent clam Is not found
in its former abundance in those
haunts to which 1t once gave fame.
But the scallop is a good substitute,
and the report just made to the sec
rotary of commerce that a bed of the
giant variety, thirty miles wide and
extending from Rhode Island to the
Virginia capes, has been found, is
very reassuring. The common kind
are plenty enough, but they are only
half as large as the giant variety, and
not accounted so great q delicacy.
This new source of supply Is regard
ed as practically inexhaustible, and 1t
is not likely to have an Immediately

MISS BR0NSON'S ADDRESS

Owing to the lateneSS OF the hour
at which Miss Bronson, the anti
suffragist, delivered her address
last night, there were not many
people present to hear her. The
writer was unavoidably absent and
is therefore unable to give his i'm
preston of her speech.
The following synopsis Of her ad-
dress was sent to the Office and is
published out of courtesy and car
ries no Endorsement:
Miss Bronson said in part. The
question of Woman Suffrage is a
question of how women can best
serve the state. Whether her par
ticipation in government through
serving on. juries, working in eau
cuses and primaries, campaigning
for candidates, or for her own cleo
ton to some political job is the
best service she can give to the
state and whether such service
promises a better order for the
state and nation. We can answer
the questions in the affirmative.
We have no right to further COM
plicate the problem of our demo-
cracy. To most women such SER
vice is repugnant and many believe
they are not necessarily a part Of
woman's work through the ballot
but if we demand the ballot be-
cause men have the ballot, we
must give in exchange the same
service as men give. Moreover if
we demand the ballot to help Soc
iety or to help women or to help
anything at all it is obvious just
voting for candidates will not &C
complish it for how can we vote
for the candidates we want unless
they are nominated and how are
they TO be nominated unless in
caucuses and primaries and how
then are they to be elected unless
we campaign for them and work at
the polls for them on election day.
Otherwise we are voting with blind
eyes for men we nave had no part
in selecting, duplicating the votes
of men whom the suffragists de-
clare are unfit to select our offic-
ials.
We, who oppose Women Suf-
frage, believe it is progressive only
in name. We believe it means a
duplication Of effort which is q
waste of power and that there will
be no compromising gain for the
great economic loss which Woman
Suffrage involves.
The Anti-Suffragists believe a
woman is more effective factor
as an independent party, undivided
by party politics. working with no
thought of political profit or re-
ward. We believe that women, in
dependent of political trammels can
and have accomplished more along
all lines of human betterm ent
than if they too must work through
the ballot as men do. divided by
party affiliations as men are.
Miss Bronson declared that the
laws for the protection of women,
whether property owning women
or wage earners were better in
states where women do not vote
than in states where they do.
She said that she believed Neva
da surrounded as it is by Women
Suffrage States would defeat this
radical movement and that nothing
the state could do would attract
more attention than to show to the
world that the people of the State
were sane, conservative and safe;
that the State could be trusted to
preserve it's equilibrium and that
its government was a stable one
under which capital seeking invest
ment would be safe.

has been indiscreet, the fact remains that this
country pays its ambassadors to foreign
countries an insignificant salary when the de-
mands upon such representatives are realized.
The sum paid the American ambassadors
abroad is no where near what foreign coun-
tries pay their ambassadors.
The situation in regard to Ambassador
Leishman reminds us very much of the bank
clerk who holds a responsible position in a
financial institution handling thousands of
dollars every day, yet receiving a salary of
but $12. or $15 a week. When such a clerk
steals money and falsifes his books in order
to make ends meet, he is arrested and put into
prison., whereas if his employers would pay
him living wages somewhere in keeping with
the responsible position he holds, he probably
would not yield to temptation.
Let the United States pay her ambassadors
abroad salaries upon which they can live in a
manner BETTING this country, and we do not
believe We would have such scandals that
have now arisen in connection with our am

TO PUSH PENSION BILL.

In am interesting interview, published in
the New York Evening Sun, Congressman j.
A. Goulden thinks that the chances of post
men getting pensions in the very near future
are excellent. He bases his opinion on the
fact that congress has slowly come to the con-
clusion that it is sound business to pension
all superannuated civil servants. Congress
man Goulden has pledged himself to do every
thing III his power in the next congress to get
some action taken. That the United States
should be the only civilized country that does
not pension all its old and faithful servants
Mr.. Goulden regards as inexc,asahhle, and a
lasting disggfaee:
In discussing the matter the New York
congressman points out that by retiring the
old employees under a straight pension sys-
tenn the country would actually gain, as far
as the money side Of the matter is concerned.
Mr.. Goulden has introduced such a bill before,
but he retired from congress two years ago,
and during that time Representative James
A.. Hamill, of New Jersey, has fathered his
measure. Mr.. Goulden, when he returns to
congress next month, expects to take up the
fight where he left off and push the matter
with vigor.
Under the Hamill bill probably $500 EN-
ployees would be at once retired, and their
pensions would cost approximately $3,040,0OO
a year. On a basis of ST 1000 a year the sala-
'ries of these $500 employees amounts to
$4,000, 900. The work of these $500 superan-
nuated employees could easily be done by
1920 men, and as the new blood would come
in at salaries ranging from 1920 to $765, the
new clerks would cost the Government about
$2,450,000 a year, thereby e~ffecting a saving
of about 81, 10000 0 a year. There would also
be a big saving in efficiency, as the new ele-
ment would certainly be able to do better work
and more of it than those who are superan-
nuated.
When congress can find sos, 000, 900 for the
erection of federal buildings in small cities
and towns, scattered all over the prairies, it
would seem as if the government should have
money enough to take care of its employees
when they have grown old in its service.
The New York Evening Telegram sizes up
the situation correctly as follows:
Representative J. A. Goulden, one Of a few states
men who give attention to the things that ought to be
done for the public good, thinks that the chances of
letter carriers getting pensions in the near future are ex-
cellent.
'If there is one branch Of the government of equal
Importance to the delivery of mail that is more faithfully
served and rewarded worse it would be well to have it
specified.
"The letter carrier, like the soldier of the rank and
file, is the backbone of the whole system, more often than
not, through the devious ways of politics, put under the
command of some incompetent to whom he could teach
the business, but bearing all uncomplainingly.

The postman's brow ia sad and stern, the postman's
eyes with anger burn, he prays with doleful sound;
his heart is full OF woe because he's loaded down like
Santa Claus each time he goes his round. What wonder
that his spirits sore? He looks like a department
store that has been placed on legs. with crates of tur-
nlps and OF cheese, and scythes and forks and humble
bees, and packages of eggs. To Jones he brings a

groceries and Shepherd dogs-oh, brethren, is it fair?
Our postman. who is tired and frail, resembles much
an auction sale as he tolls up the street, three cords of

crack and mark his aching feet. Old Uncle Sam should
change the rule and for each postman buy a mule, or
else a chug-chug cart; It isn't fair to load him down
with all the bric-a-brac In town and break his honest
heart. The postmans heart Is full Of grief as he con-
veys a side of beef, a ~pitchfork and a churn, three
