LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE"

lhe other day the Hon. Thomas ]. HeAin. valiant
defender OF our institutions against the menace of
petncoat usurpahon, read into the Congressional
Record telegram of congratulations that had come
to him, feEcitating him on his efforts.
Two or three days later the Hon. Frank E. Mon
deh OF Wyoming, where the women vote rose called
attention to these facts, reread the telegram. and
insisted that the Record be corrected The following
discussion ensued: So.
Mr. MONDELL- After the reading of this message

The SPEAKER. What does the Record show about
Loud and continued applause?"
MI MONDELL. 1t does not show ANYTHING: but
msmDers VIII remember there was loud applause con-
nned entirely TO the Democratic side and none what
ever on the Republican side was paying close aten

the reading there was loud and prolonged applause

THE LIND SORT OF PERSON.

John Lind, whom Mexico may deport as an un-
desirable citizen is not nice man to treat with ur'
necessary contumely Here's little story that some
Washington agent of Huerta might tip of to the
usurping president of Mexico:
One day when Lind as governor was having big
fight in Minnesota an opposition paper published,
cartoon of Miss Minnesota" beautiful young lady
unfortunately suffering the Disagreement of fright

drawn into the representation of the sore.
When he saw the paper Governor Lind called up
the newspaper office and asked who was imInedi-
ately personally responsible. He got the right man
and his admission of personal responsibility. He
thanked the man and rang off.
Two{or three years afterward, his term as COVER
nor expiring Mr. Lind pulled down the roll top of his
big desk at the statehouse shook hands with the sue
cessor, turned over to him the safe combination,
went out on the street and climbed on He
rode down to the Office of that newspaper, hunted
up the man who had admitted responsibility for the
offending cartoon, and announced.
Il have just come in to thrash you"
Which he proceeded to do, despite that Lind has

Applause gets edited into the Record when u

Here's a Book

king Desire and His Knights" by
Edith F. A. U Painton, published By
R f. Fenno & Co. OF New York.
This Is a book for children. explaining
new thought theories in a series Of
.'sermonettes," which can be easily un--
derstood and grasped by the child mind
The tales are told at the story hour
by Aunt Susie. to her fourteen neph-
ews and nieces-just about a large
enough number to include all of the
naushtiness OF little boys and girls
How her talks aid them IN overcoming
the faults which would become grave
troubles later in life, constitute the
purpose OF the book.
Since children have such an uncanny
inclination to ..shie" from anything
preachy, and hate above all things to
be fooled into hearing a sermon" it
IS wiser for the parent to first read and
then tell these stories.

A DELEGATE FOR THE DISTRICT.

The District Delegate Association is putting ou.
an appeal to the Democratic Administration and
Democratic Congress to keep their Democracy in
mind when they come to dealing with this District.
The Delegate Association modestly asks merely
for single delegate, without VOTE This is expe
dent as an entering wedge, and also because more
than this could not be granted without amending the
Constitution 1t takes generation or so to do that
AS matter of fact it wouldn't be so important
tc have regular voting delegation, as many people
believe. The Delegate from Alaska Mr.. Wickersham
who has accomplished marvels for his people, re-
Gently declared that he suspected he had been able
tc do more by reason of not having vote He
didn't need to make somebody mad by voting against
little bill" every now and then he didn't have to
be partisan critical times; he didn't need to line
up with or against a machine or faction or party
But that is not all that Alaskan experience teaches
the District Mr.. Wickersham has persistenty stood
for certain things in Alaska: for home rule, for con-
servaton of resources for opportunity of develop
ment, for the people as against the Guggenheims
Now, he has been lied about and libeed and SLAM
dered and msrepresented world without end 1t has
been proclaimed by big and well-funded lobbies year
after year, Congress after Congress, that Wicker
sham didn't speak for Alaska; that the lobby, or the
War Department. or the Alaska Syndicate, or some
But there is no longer any uncertainty on that
point. Everybody knows now, what Alaska wants
and whether Wickersham represents it.
They know that Alaska wants what Wickersham
is demanding, and that he most emphatically DOES
represent it.
How do they know that? r..~
Because every time there is an election in Alaska
Wickersham is elected again to succeed himself, and
by an increased majority. aN>''
When he Republican he was elected
When the Republican machine dumped him and he
ran as an Independent he elected When he ran
as Progressive-lndependent he was elected again
That makes record that can't be beaten Alaska
has been able to TELL CONGRESS JUST WHAT
1T WANTS, because it has been able to prove that
il stands firmly behind Jim" Wickershams demands
The District could send just as clear and unmis
taxable message to Congress if it had delegate
There would be some red-hot campaigns; the lineup
would be sharp and clear; the pros and the antis
would be compelled to show their coors; the issues
would be clear-cut and manifest - 3
The District Delegate Association notes that
Alaska Porto Rico, and the Philippines all have dele
gates in Congress; it mildly wonders if the Districr
is denied similar representation because the District
is considered less intelligent, honest, capable Of
taking meager little part in its own government.

Public Utilities

THE victory of the Public Utility
! Commission in the Federal Court
| yesterday, when Judge Morrow de
| cided that the Tonopah Water Com
pany was not entitled to an i%njunc-
| ton against the state body, was the
first case of such record in Nevada.
The law that created this board
, was harshly criticised at the time vi
passage. mainly, it was claimed, that
such a body had no court standing
| The decision OF the Federal Judge
yesterday settled that point.
The object OF the~law, and the ere
alton of the Commission. was for II
| purpose. to regulate public service
! companies, concerns or incorpora
tons. People who deal with the
| public and charge for a service rem
dered. The law intends and does
! make rates between the two which
| are within reason. For years, or be
fore the creation OF this law, it was
the custom to charge the consumer
all that he would pay. 1t was not a
question OF making an honest return
| for the money invested, but to get all
| that the public would pay. There
| was but one result. the owners OF the
| utility became unreasonably wealthy
from the small investment, and the
| people were naturally in a tightin.'
mood under unjust taxation.
Without a body to regulate such
service to the people. it Is and woulG
be possible to continue making the
public pay any rate that was demand
ed. This practice has been in force
for so many years that it is hard tor
any corporation or individual serving
the public to be brought down to the
status OF the times and meet the con
ditions OF the public purse.
The first victory in the Federal
Court marks an item that is of state
wide interest. When it is found that
any public service body is ~overcharg-
ing the patrons, it can be taken to the
Commission and the facts brought
forth. If the complaint is we'll
founded orders for reduction are is
sued: if the company is right, and It
is simply earning an honest return
on its investment, the Commission 50
orders. and the rates remain. With
out this body it was impossible t.
bring matters of discomfort and over
charge to a head. and the concerns
simply had a license to reach into the
pockets OF the people.
1t is a victory for the people that
is worth the price of admission from
every point OF view.

A War Cloud

THE talk that there is no wa
cloud in sight on the horizon of Mex
leo is somewhat misleading. The Mex
lean Republic has told Uncle Sam to
recognize the Republic or else get
out. Not only this. but a time limit
is placed on the ultimatum. 1t i,
either a case of get busy or get out.
There has been a lot OF dove and
olive branch nonsense going On
about the border for d long time. A
lot OF American money is invested in
the unsettled section. a number Of
depredatiOns have taken place and
now our Uncle Sam is told what he
car do i'll plain English.
Either the Mexican Republic is en-
titled to recognition or else it is not
1t must be decided within a few hours
and if President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan don't decide, the Mexi-
cans will render the verdict. 1t is
one OF the few turns that has taken
place across the border line. 1t is
passed up to the Americans to take 4
stand.
Had this sort of work been showed
over onto England the fleets woull
now be on the way to see what was
what. The war cloud has grown in
gOodly proportions and about one
more break there will be a trOuncing
given the outfit below the California
border. and a few million miles OF
square territory will be added to the
American possessions.

Quick Action

YESTERDAY in the FederaI
Court. Judge Morrow on the bench,
came a decision that was quick, and
the results were known before the
noon had arrived. 1t was the Ques-
tiOn OF reducing water service rates
in TOnopah. 1t was a public demand.
The Judge listened to the argument,
heard both sides impartially, and III
stead OF looking over a whole volume
of authorities. decided from the
bench.
The mere fact that he decided
against the corporation is not the
point. as had their contention been
justified, the decision would have
been so rendered. 1t was the fact
that the decision came from the
bench, and was pointed, just and with
advise. In this line it might be
stated that his counsel to both par
ties in the cas- to try the proposition
is the real merit in the case.
1t all law in equity could so be de-
cided what a lot of time and fees
would be saved.
