feature for the young people is
 the fact of the darkness in which they are conducted. One need not attend many times to find that they do not "tend to spirit uality." For those who believe that a fundamental objection to the theater is that it rests upon a life-profession which is de- moralizing-that of acting, or seeming to be what one is not, the dramatic moving pictures off, fers the same fundamental ob- jection. High class films of great events in the world about us, such as the inauguration of a president, or the receiving of a king of England as Emperor of India, or natural scenes of inter- est and beauty, are of a different sort from the professionally dra- matic performance, and in them- selves are unobjectionable. Yes even in the case of such pictures there may bereasons why, on ac- count of their local associations or other reasons, one will count it wiser to refrain from patroniz- them.

THE CHRISTIAN AND THE MOVIES"

We sometimes get sidelight on our dutyi from the way in which it is looked at by people whose standards may not be our own. A reader of the Times des- cribes her interesting experience in this line:
 Please discuss in your columns if it is wrong for a christian to 20 to moving picture shows.
 1 had never been to one until recently, when 1 was waiting at the station in a nearby city for my train, which was late. Pre- sently a friend rushed in, and though we are close friends. she hardly took time to speak, in her hurry to open her grip and put in 50 packages, remarking, I've got to go up the street a piece. " Take time," l answered. our train is late," She leaned down and said, Pm going to the moy- tng picture show" " "Oh," 1 said rising, "I'll go with you" ;" "Your' she exclaimed. you go to moving picture show." Why not?" l replied, and off we went.
 Now why should this friend be amazed atmy going? We are members of the Baptist Church. l do not go to theaters, etc., but my pastor sometimes goes to the moving picture show, and one of the most cOnsecrated women 1 know goes frequently.
 If my going is an offense, I do not wish to go again. Ihav been twice since then, and am beginning to believe it is no place for Gods children. It certainly does not tend to spirituality, and yet get some really good sug- gestions: but are they too dearly bought?

Floyd Clark One of Elko's Most
Popular Boys Died Yesterday.
Funeral to be Held Monday

In the city of San Francicso,
where the waves of the Pacific sing
their requiem to the evening star,
a babe was born on Dec. 8. 1895.
His name was Floyd Clark. During
the years since then the babe,
emerged into winsome manhood, be-
loved by all.
Four years ago. Floyd came to
Elko, and although a stranger
speedily became a universal friend.
He attended High School one year.
and then resolved to enter the en-
ploy of the Western Pacific, which
he did one year ago.
He was one of Elko's baseball
enthusiasts and one of the
promising pitchers that the boys
banked on for the present season.
He had all the earmarks that 60 to

The Fall of Adrianople

So closely is the world tied to-
gether now that the downfall of far
Adrianople affects intimately the
business outlook in this country,
and was at once reflected by a stock
market rise in the face nf depress-
ing disasters at home.
The business of the whole world
has been held up by the selfish at
titude taken by Austria Hungary
through this war. That nation S
threat of war shook the money
markets of the world. American
securities were the easiest things
to sell. The bankers of Europe
shovelled them overheard in their
frantic haste to Tighten ship. All
which sent blue chills around the
world. American financiers lost
heart, and instead of putting money
into new development, it was used
to buy up investments from Europe
at sacrifice prices.
Austria-Hungary is a melting pot
of nations, at least a third of them
bound by blood ties to the brave
Balkan Powers. The financiers who
ran to cover are perceiyinp that
the war lords were merely indulg-
ing in an extra amount of hot air.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION

In yesterdays issue of The Inde-
pendent the word "mountebank"
was used in our article headed "A
Protest" Two citizens, of Elko
prominent in the official life of the
town, took the editor "a task and
defied him to prove that the Social
ist speaker was a "mountebank"
The Independent stands pat and in
sists that the word was properly
used and applied exactly where it
belongs.
Webster defines a montebank rs
"a vendor of quack medicines at
fairs and other public gatherings,
who usually mounts a platform or
wagon, and draws attention to his
goods and promised cures by
haranguing the crowd, or by some
Juggling or other performance" In
the article complained of we used
the noun, not the verb and the
above definition as given in the die
tionary is for the noun "mounte-
bank" We called him a political
mountebank, not medical mounte-
bank. Read the definition carefully
and say We are wrong. if you can.
The political mountehank is vendor
of guack remedies for political ills,
some of which are genuine, many
of which are fallacious. (If there
is one quuck remedy proposed, then
he becomes a mountebanh) He
mounts platform, he calls atten-
tion to his goods" and promised
cures, by-harangning--the crowd
Read it again and look us in the
eye and say we are wrong if you
will.
One other criticism was that we
accused the speaker of assailing
the church. Our critics say no,
number of men good and true,
say no, while others say yes The
facts are that they all look at the
matter from different points of
view. This paper desires to be fair
and honest in its criticisms, at all
times and if any mistakes were
made. on our part, we will be glad
to make amends whenever our at
tention is called to the error. We
have no fight to make against the
socialist party and while we disap-
prove of many things it does, there
are many of its principles which
appeal strongly to us and will re-
ceive our unqualified endorsement
because Of the good to be conferr-
ed on humanity by its ultimate
adoption. The principle thing this
paper intended to protest against
was-the throwing the doors of a
church open to a political meeting
Of any kind, regardless of party.
We still stand by that protest.
