Aunt Remy on Prohibition.

Prohibition ought to prohibit,
and. it would, if it would begin
within ourselves. Don't you be-
lieve that? do.
1t hurts mech, it hurts me to
see so many men and women lack
ing in self mastery-of course, it
h urts worse to see it in myself,
because many of those who seem
so lacking were never trained to
it as children, nor taught how i'm.
possible it is to grow into the full
stature of men and women with
out it. Now, l was taught it early
in life by patient, loving ones, and
God only knows what | would
have been without that training.
If every Christian would, by the
grace of God, which he gives will
ingly for the a%sking-if each one
would put a tight rein on those in,
clinations and desires which are
ready to lead us astray, how soon
this splendid resolve would show
itself in our lives; yes, in our
faces, our very walk!
Life would gain a new dignity,
and we would be living witnesses,
and prohibition, the much talked
of and much abused, might be
illustrated in us as a God-implant-
ed habit, and not the creature Of
laws that seem to invite cowardly
evasion.
But this law of inward prohibit
tion-the prohibition of wrong de.
sires-would not confne itself to
liquor, but would, naturally, curb
every form of desire-eating to ex-
cess, with its demoralizing in
huence, and other forms of plea
sure, which lower the manhood
and womanhood of those who pro-
TESS to belong to that kingdom
where God reigns.
Did you ever see any one who
had attained to true spirituality
without the constant practice of
this self mastery, by the grace of
God?
We must do this if we want, as
the little boy said, "to keep our
souls on top."-Presbyterian Stand
ard.

The Cost of Drink.

Rev. G. l.. Mckee devotes him.
self to work among the miners of
Washington County, Pa, and has
met with great encouragement. He
finds the alien miners very acces-
sible, and DESTROYS to learn the
best things and attain the best re-
suits. The great barrier to his
work is the liquor selling. He says
that a single mining community
of 1900 miners and their families
consume S450,00O worth of liquor
a year. This community is not an
exception, but is rather above the
average for its good qualities. Mr..
Mckee estimates that the 81, 600
miners of the county spend about
$500, 900 on intoxicants,-Er

Legislators Suggest
Better Fire Protection

MANY members OF the State Legis-
lature have been discussing the prop

ter fire protection. They, after look
ing over the problem. have come to
the conclusion thar too many Yalu-
able records are exposed TO the dan
ger of fire with an Inadequate serv-
ice There is a high pressure state
main within a very short distance OF
the main building aud the members
who have looked into the problem
are satisfied that this water should be
made available for fire purposes
With this in view Senator Chaplin
OF White Pine. introduced a bill that
provides for the bringing Of the main
into the Capitol Building and in
way assuring better service. This
bill has passed the Senate,
AT the same time the volunteer fire
department OF this city which gives
its efforts without compensation, and
which has rendered many service

asked that the Legislature go even
further in the line of public improve

asked that a FIRE ladder be placed on
the outside OF the building and that
ladder be placed across the roof. and
that a stand pipe be run up the side
of the building where it could be used
in case of fire. 1t is further pointed

for the fremen to fight flames from
that point. whereas if an outside

Secretary of State Brodigan has al

the Legislators to the fact that no

HAS GROUND
FOR DAMAGES

From all appearances there will be
a suit for damages follow the death
Of Bodie Stipec. the man killed at the
Mexican mine in Virginia City few
davs ago. The unfortunate miner
fell from the moving cage to the bot
tom of the shaft, meeting instant
death. His fall to death was occa-
stoned from the fact that gates or
guards were not in use on the cage
at the time of the accident. At the
Coroner's inquest it was testified
that the gates had been removed, and
therefore the company was not COM
plying with specific law in regard
to the matter. The report of the in
quest was as follows:
"That the deceased was named
Budie Stipec. native Of Austria and
was aged about % years, that he
came to his death in this county on
the 18th day of February. 1913. by an
dNeihSht NduSCt by ldilli1s nom a
cage between the 1000 and 25O0-foot
levels of the Mexican Gold & Silver
Mining Company, situated in Vir-
ginia City, Storey County. Nevada.
And. we further find by the evidence
adduced, that the accident was caus-
cd through the failure of the manage
ment of the Mexican Gold & Silver
Mining Company in not having the
gates on the cage as required by law
changing shifts All of which we
duly certify by this inquisition in
writing, by us signed, this 18th day
of February, A. D. 1913.
