RENO MORALITY

A Grant Miller, accused Of be-

saying that liquor at Belle Isle

Reno morals can be improved by the

No wonder that many people con-

nous terms. Does this astute men,
Der Of the Reno bar want his charm
ing little city to degenerate into a
community of buns? II his ad-
mission to the bar was made in a
place presided over by an immacu-
late gentleman wearing a white
apron we can understand bis logic.
We hope Mr. Miller has been mis-
quoted. We can not conceive OF
any man, be ne lawyer or layman,
sane or insane, giving tongue to
such libel on Reno morals. The
average citizen Of Reno is pro-
badly no better or worse than the
rest of us poor mortals and TO say
or infer that any of US becomes
better men and women on account
Of the drink habit, is an insult to
common decency and public morals.

RESUSC!TATED MEMORY

lieved in the daily newspapers as a
source for incidents that would
furnish better material for ro-
nance than could possibly be Great
ed by any effort of fancy. He kept
a scrap book in which he stored
away newspaper clippings which
were afterward to masquerade as
fiction. History Of "A Simpleton"
is one in which DR. Christopher
Staines Of London is lost overheard
in mid-Ocean, picked up all but
dead from a raft taken to Cape
Town with all memory of the past
utterly obliterated, but afterwards
restored in small installmeats
through the agency Of a couple of
the terrific thunderstOrms peculiar
to that latitude. That story Of
forty years ago has been more than
confirmed over again in real life by
incidents OF memory and personal
ity lost and regained. The last of
these comes from Warren, Pa. Of
a man, common laborer, work
ing at a silica sand plant, who
struck by fall of ice, has, while
lying in a hospital, regained his
identity, lost a dozen years ago and
says he is John Oliver, the owner of
l25 valuable building lots in

lands in Lancaster. Pa.

she continuously resided until abou,
ten days before her death.
Her health had been failing for a

Huerta is unable to borrow the
money with which to put down the
revolt being desperately conducted
by the more courageous Of his
wretched countrymen.
That was his undoing. He easily
put down the Vera Cruz revolt and
captured its leader, Felix Diaz,
nephew of the deposed dictator.
A less conscientious man would
have summarily executed Diaz.
Madero intended to do il legally,
after a trial for treason. Diaz
appealed to the civil courts for q
writ of habeas corpus. And Ma
dero, remembering his pledge Of
constitutional government, honored
the writ.
Thus Diaz escaped. lis graft

esty had saved his life, was TO be-
gin another revolution. and to plot
with Madero's own generals to de-
liver over the President at the mo-
ment VIXEN victory was in his grasp.
The shameful assassination of Ma
dero followed quickly.

only if necessary to save the coun-

IS OUR FLAG

fast loosing its preatige. The time
was when the Red, White, and

II the American flag is able to
protect American citizens al home

onstration Of that fact for several
years. The American people de-
mand that American ideals be liv-
cd up to and that all citizens of the
United States. whether at home or

lection to which they are entitled.
They demand this much and will
accept nothing less. The Wilson
administration has splendid
chance to win the plaudits Of the

hearts Of American people by show
ing its ability and its Willingness
to see TO IL that the poorest citizen
in all this land will bo protected
