NO TROUSERS, NO
PRAYERS, SAY MONKS
Inmates Of Russian ClOiSter Re.
fuse to Say Prayers When
Abbot Takes Clothes

ST. PETERSBURG, July 10.-The
monks OF the largest Russian cloister,
that sof St Michaels Caucasus, have
gone on strike, because their abbot
won't permit them to wear trousers,
either in summer CT n the winters
TO come. The monks complained that
life without trousers and with mil
lions Of flies and mosquitoes isn't
worth living and that they will freeze
to death if they have to face the win
ter in the trouserless state.
The holy synod has been appealed
to by both the abbott and the monks
and commission was sent out to
the Caucausus TO look into the griev-
ances of the Holy Brothers.
While the investigations are pro-
coeding the monks do none Of the
work assigned TO them and the clois-
ter will lose a large amount of the
harvest. Nor will the monks attend TO
the sick or 10 their church duties.
They say that their abbot wants 10 be-
como a saint and takes great delight
in hunger, thirst and nakedness, also
every other form OF poverty.

THE FAR-REAcHING TELEPHONE
49, BY Harold D. Stroud.

The telephone is a great conven-
fence as a medium of inter-communi-
cation between people separated by
distance. But did you ever pause to
realize how vast are the possibilities
of the telephone system of city or
town?
1t is the nervous system of the
community. The wires radiating
from central exchange to the homes
and shops where the people live and
work may be used for many other
purposes than telephoning, without in
the least reducing the efficiency of
the service for that purpose.
Every telephone will at some fu-
ture time (and soon if we will help
to bring it about be our fire and
burglar alarm, our information bu-
(reau, our clock, our dictionary, our
city directory, and will serve us in a
hundred other ways that we dare not
think of telling about.
Even with the wonderful automatic
telephone we have just begun to skim
the surface of things The dream of
Bellamy is to be made a reality. The
problems have all been worked out
piece by piece by men who have
worked under no coordinate plan,
except that which is ruling the des-
tiny of all who are laboring for social
advancement, in the broadcast sense
We stand today at a point where
we may if we will coordinate this
vast mass of possibilities and put
them into the service of men, women
and children to make their labors
easier, their homes happier and take
to them in their homes. many of the
things that will make these places
wonderlands, and not just a place to
eat and sleep.
The network of wires running
from the home to converge at the
brain center of the community will,
if we set about it in practical way,
represent full efficiency as compared
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-09-23

can be brought about by making the
telephone development our work, in
stead of leaving it to a big unwieldy
corporation that must pay dividends
on interests that no service nor
money ever bought.
1t is time for honesty in the opera
ton of public service agencies. The
voice of the woman in politics is sure
to make honesty in politics fact.
Then we will be able to have clean
and honest municipal conduct of such
things as the telephone, with all the
added benefits that it is sure to bring
us, properly conducted.

Bristol, Tenn, Sept! s23.-Without
in any way disturbing his discourse,
Rev. M. Dykes killed snake that
intruded upon the service. AS he pro-
ceeded upon his sermon he observed
the reptile, two and a half feet long,
slowly coming down the aisle.
DESTROYS of avoiding fright among
the women, he advanced slowly from
the pulpit to meet. the snake, con-
tinuing his sermon as though moth
ing of a threatening nature was hap
pening. Using his heel he came down
full weight upon the approaching
reptiles head and ended its life.

ARE They ExTRAVAGANT?

The county commissioners are
fast getting a reputation for OK
travagance. Whether or not they
deserve the reputation, is a ques-
ton that we are not wholly prepar-
ed to answer at this tine, as we
know very little of their work dur
ing the year. But from what we
have seen since October, we have
no hesitancy in saying that the
criticisms heard whenever taxpay-
ers discuss county affairs have a
solid base to rest upon.
The bill allowed for the care of
the horse that figured in the Nc
Comb case is one that tends strong
ly to support the charge of extrav.
agance. The writer learned that
when this horse was first brought
to Elko she was cared for by
Sheriff Harris at so cents q day for
four dsys. The horse was then
taken from the SherifF's care and
placed in charge Of keeper at SO
per day and feed furnished. The
Commissioners may not be respon-
sible for this arrangement as we
understand it was the act OF the
district attorney and the other at
torneys in the case. But be this as
1t may the commissioners get the
blame for allowing SO a day to a
keeper for 80 days for caring for
her. 1t looks to the average man

WELLS FARGO
MUST PAY TAXES

Judge Quicker has decided the
case of the State of Nevada against
the Wells Fargo Express company
in favor of the State. This suit was
brought in February 1911 to COM
pei the company to pay its taxes
for 1910. Several other suits were
started against the company by
other counties but we're not press
ed flor trial, it being understood
that the outcome of this suit would
determine whether or not the ex-
press company would be legally
compelled to pay its taxes in this
state for the years it has refused to
paw.
The decision upholds the conten-
tion of the state on every point
and, if not appealed from, will re-
suit in this greedy corporation pay
ing for some Of the protection the
state has given it for many years.

A COMSTOCK ACCIDENT

The following from the Carson
Appeal of December 2, 1879, brings
TO our memory the worst mining
accident of it's kind that ever hap
pened on the Comstock. II our
memory serves Us right, some of
the men fell into the shaft, but the
most of them struck the sheet iron
floor and were either killed out
right or horribly mangled:
About 6 o'clock this morning a
cage was run up into the sheaves
at the Union Con. by the engineer.
The cage had eighteen men on
board and shot like fash to the
heavy timbers, forty feet above the
mouth of the shaft, and all the men
but one were precipitated to the
floor. The seven and one half inch
cable, capable of sustaining eighty
tons, snapped like thread. There
was talk of lynching the engineer.
