BY looking at the streets of this city
at this time, it is plain that something
is wrong in their making, The en-
tire trouble is that they are hollow
in the center and high on the out
side. and to have anythink like good
streets the opposite is absolutely
necessary. The water and moisture
drains to the centers, making them
mud holes. and the outer edges near
the sidewalks are dry. They should
be turned inside out.

Fighting the Press

Mr.. BERT MCINTOSH, erst-
while Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee. lawyer,
miner and banquet hustler, has taken
il onto himself to fight the newspap-
ers of Nevada.
A few days ago the newspaper men
of this state framed a bill which per-
mist the printing of briefs, that they
may compete with the typewriter
and make a living in the land that
they help boost and boom on every
occasion. This bill is in the hands
Of the committee and will be report
ed ont in a few days. This much
sought relief by the members of the
press of Nevada has been the result
of good thought. has the approval or
several members of the bar, has the
approval OF the Supreme Court and
all the newspaper men OF the state.
Now Mr.. Mcintosh takes up the
issue. He came here yesterday and
got busy" to defeat the measure in
its entirety. He made the
ment to several members that he had
the goat" OF the newspaper boys
and that he would put the measure
out Of commission before the boys
knew where they were at. Mr.. Nc
Intosh also went to others and an
nounced that he would not stand for
such graft on the part of the news
papers.
The fact that this bill was intro
duced by a Democrat in high stand
ing, is approved by the Nevada
Editorial Association. makes no diff
ference with Mr.. Mcintosh and mis-
political ambitions. He is here to
beat the newspaper boys in their
work and knock their bill skvward.
II Mr.. Mcintosh has such w%onderfui
influence with a house filed with
broad-minded men, and he alone is
the dictator Of laws. it would seem to
be time that the members resign and
pass the lawmaking over to the Dem
ocratic chairman.
The people at the last general ei-
ection saw fit to place more than one
tenth Of its working staff in the two
houses of the Legislature in the
hands of newspaper men.
There has been no disposition on
the part of the printers and news
paper men to fight the lawyers. or 70
antagonize any branch or professions.
1t would seem that Mr.. Mcintosh is
taking the entire responsibility Of the
Bar Association on his shoulders AMI
fighting the newspaper craft though
his associates.
Considering the fact that Mr.. Nc
Tntosh is occupying the position of
Chairman of the Democratic party,
and that he may desire the support
of such papers in other Democratic
measures, it would seem that he is
opening the avenue for plenty OF
disruption in the party lines. Hell
found the party papers willing to lend
their assistance a few months back,
but at the present ONE his mem
DRY for fogetting is extremely sharp.
If Mr.. Mcintosh is the Democrat
that he would lead the newspaper
men to believe he would have kept
hands off and o meddled in a mat

ter that has been the desire of the
newspaper fraternity and the typo

years. Patience has ceased TO be a
virtue in this case.
