lterate n person 10 years of age or
over who is unable to write, regard
less of ability to read. There are
4,702 illiterates in the state, repre-
senting CT per cent of the total popu-
lation 10 years of age and over, as
compared with 1873 per cent in 1900.
The percentage of illiteracy is o.
among native whites, &c among for
eign born whites, III among Indians
and 5.5 among negroes.
For all classes combined, the per-
centage of illiterates is &c in the
urban population and 7.5s in the
rural. For each class separately, ex-
cept the Indians, the per eentage is
higher in the rural than in urban
communities.
For persons from 10 to 20 years of
age. inclusive, whose literacy depends
largely upon present school facilities
and school attendance, the percen-
tage of illiteracy is GO.
Marital Condition.
In the population Is years of age
and over. 51.3 per cent of the males
are single and 81 per cent of the fe-
males. The percentage married is
Ala for males and GIL for females,
and the percentage widowed 40 and
10.1, respectively. The percentage
of those reported as divorced, IA and
1.3, respectively. are believed to be
too small, because of the probability
that many divorced persons class
themselves as single or widowed.
That the percentage single is so
much smaller for women than for
men is due partially to the excess of
males in the total population and
partly to the fact that ONE marry
younger. Thus. 1874 per cent of the
females from Is to 10 years of age
are married, as compared with 0.6
per cent of the males, and $50 per
centage of the females from 20 "a
years are married, as compared with
12.7 per cent of the males.
Dwellings and Families.
The total number of dwellings in
NEVADA is 1904, and the total num-
Der of families 1851, Indicating
that in comparatively few cases does
more than one family occupy a dwell
ing. The average number of persons
per dwelling is SO. and the average
number per family. 3.5.

TRUST SMASHING
RAISES PRICES
GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE
WITH COMBINATIONS PRO-
DUCES UNEXPECTED RESULTS
AS SHOWN BY INCREASED COST

Alarm is expressed lest the e
attorney general reopen the Standard
Oil and American Tobacco cases.
Such a thing cannot be done. They
have passed through the supreme
court. and the only thing the supreme
court exists for is to furnish a place
where litigation may cease. 1t is
true the price of oil has increased
since dissolution OF the Standard Oil
company, but that is the natural re-
suit of competition as compared with
trust" management of a market.
The government no doubt can
smash the Coal Trust" but that
will increase the price of coal. Tn
der strictly competitive operation
the price of coal will be perhaps 81
a ton above present prices. The
trusts" have held prices down.
hoping to appease public feeling. As
competitive concerns they do not
care for public opinion, and make all
the money possible. The natural
result of smashing the trusts" will
be to increase the cost of living in
the proportion that prices of oil have
been increased since the dissolution
if the Standard Oil company.
The public will soon have to de
eide whether it prefers trusts" or
high prices. The high inananciers do
not care how much smashing is in
dulged in. One of the Tobacco mag
mates said recently that he had never
dared make as much money before
the dissolution of the American To-
bacco company as he has been com
PEELED TO make since. The Demo-
Gratis made a reckless statement
when they agreed to reduce the cost
of living by law. They spoke with
out thinking when they asserted that
the trusts are responsible for the
the cost of living is not high, and, in
the second place, the apparent high
cost of living is due to a variety of
causes, of which the trusts furnish
the least important.
The word trust" fits easily into
newspaper headings, and for that
reason the trust has been magnified
The public has been misedueated by
ignorant cartoonists and makers of
catch phrases. The public has swal-
lowed the false information, and now
must pay the cost in years of blind
warfare against imaginary enemies.
The careful misedueation of the
public in regard To Wall Street and
the Stock Exchange is one of the
most shameful of the plumbers of the
newspapers. 1t is the public that pays
for all such falsehoods. The public
has most of the stocks and bonds
now, and unless the false and dis
honest cutlery against Wall Street is
~silenced soon the public will discover
that it has been busy tearing down
its OWL house. and destroying its own
property, for Wall Street owns moth
ing-it is only a clearing place for
the wealth of the world.

the Kaiser himself participated, including
the royal hunt given in honor of Arch
duke Ferdinand of Austria near Hanover.
The motion picture industry is so CRATE
full to the Kaiser for his imperial patron
age that it has issued a handsome vol
ume called The Kaiser on Film" as a
Christmas book, which is also intended to
commemorate his majesty's silver jubilee
in 1913.
The book is handsomely arranged. with
reproductions of motion pictures showing
the Kaiser amid all his varied activities.
The text discloses the fact that the Kali

pictures during one of his recent summer
cruises aboard the Hohenzollern to North
Cape. He caught the court photographer.

During the panic of 1885, Lew Shank,
the cyclonic Mayor of indianapolis, who
had been blacking stoves in a tinware
and furniture store, left for Kansas on
visit to his relatives, in a spring wag-
on Crawn by roam mare. A youthful
friend accompanied him. They had $50
ill money, piece of bacon, a dozen cans
of baked beans and a cracked frying
Fan. Mayor Shank confessed that they
annexed a chicken now and then. The
roam mare was traded for a mule in
Southwestern Missouri. AS a roadster,
the mule was not a success. The dust
was deep and the crops We're burned up
We almost starved to death when we
got among the flint hills of Kansas" the
Mayor said to me- Somewhere We found
an unguarded stack of stunted oats, and
commandeered a load of sheaves piling
them and tying them on the wagon and
riding on top. We hadn't cent. On
the road We met a man from Texas, and

Dixons took up land-1,000 acres-in
North Carolina. and there is where

Irish Presbyterians emigrated south

They were good. sturdy people.
Back in 11T0. five years before the bat
tie of Lexington. they started war on
the English colonial officials. 4 Dixon
was one of the rebel leaders on that oc-
casion. 1t was called the War of the
Regulators. and was brought on over

have been loud in its praises of the
patriots As II is. the War of the Reg

whose ancestors took part in the oper-
atoms.
MY father owned. an iron foundry and
wooden mill. He was miilwright by
trade and a solid man. When the civil
war came on, he was superintendent of
an iron mine near home. The Confed-
crates exempted high-class mechanics in
their acts of conscription, and thus he
escaped service in the army. At a later
day, however. the exemption was an
nuled, and many Quakers and Union
men were drafted. They had to pay 900
or go to the front. Some paid and some
hid in the brush. My father was one
of the former. but il was a disagreeable
subjcct, and he never discussed it with
me overmuch.

He was praCticing law when the inter-
viewer talked with him. and seemingly
had no thought Of ever again being a
candidate for Office.
Early in January, 1909. the Democrats
in the Indiana Legislature Unexpectedly
nominated and later elected a man other
than Mr.. Kern for United States Sena-
tor. The interviewer happened along
eight months afterward. He said he had
heard that the brewers of Indiana had
caused Mr.. Kern's unlocked for defeat.
That is true" Mr.. Kern answered
Il needed forty-two votes in the Legis-
lature. Forty-four Democratic members
openly gave me pledges of support. Then
the brewing interests sprung a scheme
to nominate the candidate for Senator by

Legislature were persuaded to vote
against me. l know their names but it
