Knights of Columbus Observe
Landing Day of Their Patron

The beautiful home Of Tonopah
council, No. 1850, Knights of Colum.
bus, furnished a splendid setting for
the celebration of Columbus day by
the citizens of Tonopah last night
While the exercises were under the
auspices of the knights, the admis-
sion was free and a general invita-
tion had been extended to all to come
and make the first legal anniversary
one to be remembered The upper
floor was at the disposal of the
guests, who we're served with light
refreshments and the main floor was
cleared for dancing after the literary
program had been dispatched
Back of the chairmans rostrum
was cluster of American flags
pinned with Knights Of Columbus
pennant bearing the coat of arms Of
the order and the sidewalks were
decorated in national colors, numer-
Gus flags being used in the decora-
tive scheme.
Grand Knight Frank p Mannix
presided as master OF ceremonies,
and he called the meeting to order
half an hour after the set time with
the explanation that he allowed lee
way for those who always thought It
necessary to come when they thought
proper for the exercises to begin. He
said he would not make a speech, as
he had in mind the anxiety of the
younger people to enjoy themselves
in the dance. However, he impressed
on the minds Of his audience the sig
nificance OF the day, and introduced
pretty educational feature by call
ing on several young people in the
audience to inform him of the date
of the discovery, the birthplace OF
the explorer and the land where he
planted the cross Of Christianity
These questions were promptly an
swered, and then the chairman called
on Mrs. f. A. Kelliher for a vocaI
solo, which elected great applause
Following this Judge Mark Averil
was introduced. and met with a cor
dial reception.
Judge Averill spoke on the history
of what he called the greatest event
in the world, and said 1t was al
event that should have been recog
nized by the Legislature Of Nevada a
a much earlier day. He summed III
the three important historical events
as the birth Of Christ, the discover,
Of America and the founding Of tn,
United States. Then he proceeded L
recount his own experience in study
ing history in the school at Yir

SUGAR AND WOOL.

All legislation is compromise, and tariff legis,a-
ton is nearly all compromise. When Senator Al
drch observed that Schedule X was the keystone of
the protective arch he not altogether understood
by people who were unable to see why wool and its
products should be so supremey important Yet if ne
had said that wool and sugar taken together present
ed the of every tariff situation, he would not
have been far from the TRUTH if judgment be based
on experience of the past.
The wool and sugar interests insist that they will
be destroyed if high protection is denied them. To
this the reply is that the industries are not worth TO
the country in the broad social and economic sense
as much as costs maintain them. That is ques-
ton not easily or confidently be answered. In the
beginnings, when Hamilton wanted to diversity the
manufactures of this country, rather to start them
through protection, there were people, and not few
of them, who insisted that this was and was destined
to continue, essentially an agricultural country and
that If was better national policy to buy abroad the
things that could not be economically produced here
There would be meager minority to agree with him
now, after century and quarter. = n
The wool and sugar question is, at this juncture,
one of votes in the Senate Both articles probably
could be ree-listed in the House. but the Senate has

THE PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS.

The Progressive parys House caucus today will
be wide open to the public and the press. That is
a step in the right direction The Progressives are
going to adopt party program of legislation
They might do well, in tine line Of proper pub
licity to demand rules in both houses of Congress
that will forbid executive sessions of committees OF
subcommittees. There ought. to be no public bus'-
ness too sacred to be done in public. 1t would tend
to better manners more drectness, and to the emi-
nation of jokers and buncombe.
Congress is grown to such great body that its
most intimate and serious work must needs be done
largely in committees. That is necessary; the plan
is well enough but the abuses of it are all bad Let
the next big rules fight be for rules or if necessary
law, that will throw open tine committee-room doors

only six Democratic majority, and it is plain prob
lem of getting the votes to do the business If the
votes cannot be counted, then it becomes question
of what duty can be imposed. The House bill places
rs per cent ad valorem duty wool which is rather
a small fraction of the present duty There is good
deal to be said in favor of sliding scale of reduc-
tons, by which established industries dependent on
protection, may be stepped down to level on which
they may live, if it is finally decided that they are
worth preserving, Or from which they may be given
the coup de grace with the least measure of dis
turbance to the fabric of business.
In the end, the decision will probably be in favor,
far the present revision is concerned, of pre-
serving duties these critically important items,
but of making those duties good deal lower than
they are now. There seems no room for doubt that
the present level of duties is altogether too high to
give fair treatment to both producer and consumer.
The consumer suffers.

GET AT THE TRUTH.

With scarcely hidden identities, the newspapers
are printing intimanons of scandal involving
United States Senator, Western ofce-seeker, the
wife of the latter and three men who are reported
to have played the part of Peeping Toms at local
hdfel - Sc
The story is of the kind that shocks every hearer
of the details and the anger of every decent
man.
The Senator owes peculiar duty to the COM
munity in this situation. Even though he claims
blackma to be the object of his accusers his duty
is to demand from the proper authorities complete
investigation, for if blackmal and badger games have
come be part of local political life, the sooner the
principals in this of business jailed the safer
and better the community will be. The least that
ought to be done is to establish the truth.

GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.

The appeal of the officers of George Washington
University for such financial assistance as will enable
them to acquire property necessary to the continued
development of the institution is worthy OF the
sponse which friends of the university are making
The fund requested is to be devoted to a specific
purpose, namely to provide fitting home, an eco
nomical plant, in which to conduct the great educa.
tional work which has been undertaken.
The location of great university in Washington
the making of the Capital the site of national
institution of learning appeals practically well as
ideally 10 every student of education. Every great
capital of Europe has its university and to it the gov
ernment turns a watchful eye and helping hand
So far as pride'and interest goes the institutions
abroad, of which George Washington is type mere
are national in that they models for institutions
less closely associated geographically with the gov
ernment.
George Washington has all the possibilities OF
these more favored European universities. Its fu-
ture, its continued growth, its development as an
educational force, depends upon the support given
it by its friends and more particularly its Washington
friends, for their Endorsement will be an influence
of potency with outside and official sources of aid
and endowment What other of the worlds grea,
educational institutions the cities where they
are located George Washington may well become to
Washington, and Washington citizens ought to do
all in their power TO encourage and hasten such a
result.
