EDITORIALS
BOYS, Be GAME

Some of the republican papers
are making a great roar because
the U. S. land office favors the
democratic papers of the state in
the matter of advertising. During
the many years the republicans
controlled the Carson land Office,
the great bulk of the advertising
was given to the republican pap
ers. So far as this effice is con-
erned, the little sent to this Office
was at the insistence of the parties
for whom the work was done. We
do not remember of any republican
paper critcising the land Office for
not giving the democratic papers a
fair share of its work. They were
getting the pie then and did not
carea whit about their democratic
neighbors. The shoe is on the 9TH
er foot now and they squeal like
pigs caught in wire fence.
Now, let US come little nearer
home. The state engineers Office
distributes its patronage almost en-
clusively to republican papers.
Have these papers that are now
complaining of the U. S. land Office
ever criticised the state engineer
for his policy in the matter of ad-
vertising? We never heard anv of
their bowls.
Now for just little history on
the state engineers office. Short
ly after the appointment of the
present state engineer, his deputy
visited this office and coolly inform
ed the writer that he would get no
work from the state engineer S
Office for the next four years.
That the republican bosses in Car
son had decided that all the pat
ronage of that office should be CIV
en- to republican papers. AS a re-
suit of that policy this paper has
bad but very little work from that
Office and that only on the personal
insistence of the party for whom
the work was done. But we have
not hnwIed about it, because we
believe to the victors belong the
spoils. So do the republican papers
when the spells go into their peck
cts.
Don't be pikers, boys. Be game
ana take your medicine like men.

FORCE OF GRAVITY.
Makes You Fall Faster In BosTJn
Than In Mexico City.

man In mexico City.
Did you know that you drop" faster
N Massachusetts than In Mexicof
For instance. If you were to fall from
twenty story building in Boston you
would descend lot faster than if you
fell from the same height in the City
Of Mexico.
The principle Of this is quite simple.
even II it does seem q bit startling. II
IS merely that as one goes toward the
equator the force of gravity gets less
and less and the quickness of descent
Of falling body slower: and, while
doubtless you would feel just as un-
comfortable falling that distance In
one place as in another and the results
would be Just as disastrous. there are
tines and things In which the differ
ence is not only perceptibIe. but worth
a notice.
In BOSTON If you were to fire hori
Lontally with rifle and your gun were
sixteen feet from the ground the bul
ct fired would reach the ground one
second after it had left the rifle. Bnt
If you were to take that same rife to
the City of Mexico and fire 1t Off the
same distance from the earth 1t would
take one and one-half seconds to reach
the ground.

This neutral water Is the part OF

Of the tide the salt water of the bu;
runs up into the river for miles. aud
on the reverse the fresh water dc
sends several miles again to the bay

There Is midway between the salt
