Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1913-11-04
CAPITAL WILL REMAIN

The Tonopah Bonanza is endeavorng to create a sentiment
in Nevada that will have for its purpose the removal of the state
capital from Carson City at the next session of the legislature.
This because one of its papers favors the calling of a special ses-
sion OF the Legislature and resembling the action Of the last one,
whereby an appropriation of $4,000 was made for the Panama
exposition. But the Eonatza' S efforts will prove fruitless. The
capital is located for all time at Carson City and any man who
uses that siboleth "A $ approaching campaign thunder in the
campaign, no matter what county he might live in, with the
possible exception of Humboldt, will go down to certain defeat.
The people of Tonopah and Nye county will not stand for it, de-
spite the Bonanza rantings.
For the enlightenment of any paper that might take up the
Bonanza's cudgel, it can be stated that Carson not only intends
to hold on to the capital, but is going to ask the general govern
ment to establish n ordinance depot at this point and perhaps a
federal prison. Can a better place be selected?
The Republican papers of the state have been busy the past
two weeks quoting from the Reno Gazettes story to the effect
that when Hon. Gilbert Ross spoke at the Newlands reception in
Reno o. the 18th Of last month he said that the late Democratic
Legislature had passed certain measures that they could not go
down the line with. What Mr.. Ross did say, and it AN be proven
by every Democrat who was there, was that the Democrats legisla-
ture had passed some splendid legislation and that they had no
reason to be ashamed of it. Nor nave they.
The figures of American commerce continue to break records.
September Ear surpassed all other years, the total Of imports and
exports being $43 100000 more than ever before. The twelve
months excess of exports was $7O5, 100000, only surpassed in the
panic year 1908, and then but slightly. A bullion export excess
of S33,OU'OOO goes to make up a total greater than all exchange
requirements a estimated by most authorities. The United States
is now running further in debt to Europe.
The Appeal was a little late last evening in getting o the
streets II beng delivered Il the ZONES or SUBSCRIBERS. This was
due to the many changes that have taken place in the office in the
past day o two and unfamiliarity with its conditions. However,
these matters will soon be corrected and we hope within the next
couple of days to have the paper in the hands of the circulators
promptly at 4 o'clock.

How Potatoes Poison You

On the other hand this particular alkaloid
is valuable as a sedative in cases Of nervous
pains and it is also helpful in keeping down
fever. To any one suffering from neuralgia,
a plentiful use Of potatoes is helpful in sooth-
ing the nerves and quieting the pain, more
so, frequently, than the same drug admin
istered in a concentrated form, because it is
more evenly absorbed by the body when
taken as a part of the regular food supply.
Aside from this one injurious factor, the
potato passes the test of examination we'll.
No such accusation has been lodged against
it as has been directed upon the turnip and
the justly suspected cereals, especially corn
and rye, and it has been declared to be even
more nutritious than was commonly sup
posed. If, however, a pudding is to be
judged by the eating of it, surely the potato
needs to do nothing in self-defence but point
to the race which dimes on it most freely
and rest its case. ..

rHE close investigation being made into
the poisons to be found in various foods

THE close investigation being made into
the poisons to be found in various foods
= of common consumption has not left
the humble potato entirely scatheless. "The
poisonous alkaloid and glucocoid known as
solanine," is declared by the London Lancet
to be a normal constituent of the healthy po-
tato, although in small degree. When po-
tatoes are beginning to sprout, however, this
alkaloid increases rapidly, and in the skin of
the toothsome tuber especially, it may be
found in quantities that are likely to prove
dangerous.
The poison of the potato, like the poison
of the peanut is one to which comparatively
few people are susceptible but to those, very
small qualities set up a great deal of dis
turbance. 1t not nfrequently happens that
illnesses of unknown origin come from the
eating of foods which are healthful to the
majority of people, but which have direct
toxic effect on others.

in order to be eugenicaly perfect that baby should
have perfect ancestors for many generations past,
the evil qualities of long past generation
at any time crop out in full force in generation.
The prospect of what may happen to Roxburghe
baby under this law is simply appalling The Roxburghe
ancestry begins in the Middle Ages with redhanded free
hooters Of the Scottish border who delighted in surprs
ing their neghbors by night and slaughterng them in
their beds. All the most brutal elements of the Middle
Ages represented in these border families such
the Kers of Cessford who the original ancestors
of the Duke of Roxburghe.
As the family rises in Importance more highly de-
veoped sensuslity added the earlier elements of
brutality The first Earl of Roxburghe took import
ant part In the drama of intrigue and assassination that
marked the tragic reign of Mary Queen of Scots and
made his fortune by betraying her.
From that time the Roxburghes were in the highest
rank of the British aristocracy We find the Earl of
Roxburghe Of the time of Charles H. favorite compan-
lion of that king. He revealed in the extraordinarily
nicenous court life OF the Restoration when the drama
reached pitch Of shamelessness that must make
present white slave plays modest by comparison
He spent his days and nights in carousing with the
merry king and his favortes, Nell Gwynn, Barbara
Villiers, Rochester and the rest OF them.

Many interesting facts in heredy have recently been

found that certain important qualities transmitted

that high egg yield in Mems and good milking yield

1t is argued that analogous rules must apply with

knew which important qualities transmitted through

science has yet established the necessary rules with
sufficient clearness in the human race.

Chairman H. A. Jastro of the board
of county supervisors that work on
that portion of the prcnosed thor

Whereas, said first party has sold
and located certain of its issued stock
and certain warrants for other of its
stock not yet issued, on lands lying
within the boundaries of the territory
described in the articles of incorpora-

Whereas, The second party desires
to acquire sufficient of said capacity
to carry 459 second feet of water for
the irrigation lands of its stockhold-
ers and their domestic uses; and,
Whereas, At some future time, said
second party may find it expedient
that said main canal from Allison
Heading to Station 1853 should be en-
larged to provide increased carrying
capacity for the future needs of its
stockholders; and
Whereas, 1t is necessary TO provide
method for managing the mainten-
ance of the interests in common in
said canal, which are to be created
hereby, and for managing the deliv-

Manager Gueydan Defends
Letter to Cotton Buyer
Threatening to Ruin Him

The Press took occasion Saturday
to comment on a letter which was
sent to gentleman in Louisiana, who
was desirous of entering this field
as cotton buyer, by Ed. M. Guey-
dan, secretary and general manager
of the Imperial Valley Cotton Grow
ers' Exchange. In his letter Mr.. Gue.-
dan had threatened to do his utmost
to ruin the buyer if he entered this
field.
The Press took the ground that the
Exchange had entered on legitimate
line of cooperative work and that its
future would be determined by the
success achieved, but that neither the
manager of the Exchange of any 9TH
err person was licensed to threaten
ruin to any person desiring to enter
legitimate field in this valley, while
the sending out of such letters would
prove highly detrimental alike to the
Exchange and to the valley at large.
Mr.. Gueydan now tries to make it
appear that the position of the Press
is hostile to the Exchange, but it is
believed the general public will rea-
lie, if he does not, that it is possible
for the Press to feel very kindly to-
ward the Exchange and be desirous
of seeing it succeed, while still deny
ing that it has any right to hold out
threats of ruin against others. In
other words, the Press will cheerfully
assist the Exchange in building up
process, as it does all legitimate pro-
jects, and it will oppose, as it always
does, any measure seeking to tear
down or menace any other legitimate
enterprise.
That the public can determine the
case from Mr.. Gueydan's own writ
ings, there is given below letter just
received by the Press, and following
that his letter in full to Harry Marks
of Selma, Alabama.
