The Nixon opera house was about
half filed at the Democratic rally
Tuesday evening, but by the time the
principal speaker Of the evening took
the stage a goodly portion of the rath-
er small crowd had left.
Emmett d. Boyle, candidate for gov
ernor, was the main attraction, but his
speech was chiefly conspicuous for
what ha did not say,
The people Of Humboldt county
waited patiently for an explanation
Of his action as the leading spirit of
the tax commission, when he raised
assessed valuations in this county
ten per cent last year, when we were
already assessed higher than many
counties of the state. But they were
disappointed. Mr.. Boyle attempted
an explanation of many things,
amounting to an apology in some in
stances, but upon the ten per cent
raise he was silent.

Rex Beaeh's great American ro-
nance, "The Spoilers. indicates
that fiction may have as high or high
er aim than fact, for, in addition to
telling gripping and absorbing
story, he has reflected certain phases
of civilization 3 advance that will
never come again. Undoubtedly this
western world has experienced the
last of the great gold rushes. These
picturesque and frenzied pilgrimages
that commenced with the Spanish in
vasion were continued with the jour
neys of the Argonauts over the great
plains and the mountains of our west,
in the days of 40; and concluded
with the toilsome rush to the Klon-
dixie, or the sailing over the seas to
the Arctic shores of Nome. These
" potential and picturesque peri
DDS in the big advance that made a
conquest of the unknown to crafty
mems never-ending thirst for gold.
In providing the big properties"
for this stage that runs hundreds of
miles up and down the Pacific coast,
from Washington to Alaska, it was
necessary to charter vessels for voy-
ages. The steamships "Ohio" and
:" Santa Maria were engaged for
this service, and half a hundred ves-
sells were leased to give life to the
foreground or background of the wa
ter scenes. Special railway trains
were secured; locomotives were leased
to serve the desperate ventures of
strong men fighting for their all to
re-take their own possessions from
their oppressors. In some scenes of
the play hundred Of people were en-
ployed, and the landing at Nome is as
remarkable for its showing of types,
as the famed bridge Constantine
ple,'' over which moves the panorama
of nations. In this scene moves the
Aleutians and the Eskimos (the Abb
orogines); then there are sinewy in
vaders from far Australia, bronzed
Africanders who deserted the fever
belt for the new gold fields, and the
all pervasive Americans, who give
the punch of power to all the pro-
ccedings.

usiness today as a year ago. That
the merchants sell about as much
good and that there is hardly . va
cant house to rent in the city. That
the is more building going on in
Reno right now than at any previous
tin in its history. That there are
mcse public school children enrolled
there than ever before. That the
State University has more students
thai any other banner year. This as
suredly does not look as though the
pre- sperity of Reno was destroyed by
the loss of the divorce colony.
My observation of Reno, during
the divorce era, was that many Of the
clerks in the stores and much of the
lafor in other industrial lines was per-
formed by Divorces, working at
cheap wages during their residential
period and depriving Nevada wage
many of those who came to Reno for
divorce were estimable people and Of
exemplary character, . large proper
tion of them exerted a mischievous
AMI corrupt influence.
1t was for these reasons that the
divorce law was. amended at the de-
mand of an incensed and outraged
people. Now, ten months after the
law went into effect, the pro-gambling
and pro-divorce advocates are united
in Reno and elsewhere, to try to put
through at the next session of the leg
islature bills restoring wide-open gam
bling and easy divorce. Moreover,
that those advocates are unitedly sup
porting Mr.. Boyle and quoting his al
legged neutral stand in the matter.
/ Reno cannot expect the people Of
Nevada to tax themselves to support
and build up the university, and to
send their children there to be edu-
Gated, if the city proposes to offer an
unwholesome and corrupt invironment
for a great educational institution.
Once for all, Reno must choose be-
tween gambling and divorce, on the
one hand, and the university on the
other. The two cannot flourish in
the same atmosphere. Nor will the
pc ople of Nevada stand for it.
Mr.. Boyle is graduate of the Uni
versity of Nevada. That fact is car
rying great weight in his behalf in
this campaign. In his keeping, if
elected governor, is not only the honor
of his state but the honor of his alma
mater. Today, and until January l.
} 1918, at least, the honor of the state
of Nevada is in my keeping. If I am
to turn this state over on that day tc
, successor, want to turn it over te
} man who will not, if in his power

tituted to the roulette wheel and easy

crossing today on her honest re
: sources, mining, stock-raising and ag
. rieultural, and on these she can built
: great commonwealth. That is he

est rally of the campaign was held
here last evening, the occasion being
the visit of Samuel Platt, candidate
for United States Senator; William
Mcmillan, candidate for state treas
urer; J. F. Abel, candidate for state

and George Springmeyer, candidate
foI attorney general.

representative citizens occupied seats
on the platform with the speakers.
Samuel Platt was the principal
speaker of the evening, and devoted
most of his time to showing up the
insincerity of his opponent, with his
record in the Republican, Greenback,
Silver and Democratic parties, all of
which he is reputed to have been
member during his checkered politi-
cal career in Nevada.
Attention was called to the fact
that Newlands was not the originator
of irrigation legislation in congress,
as claimed, but that the honor be-
longs to Senator Hansbrough, of
North Dakota.
Short addresses were made by the
other candidates, after which the par
ty visited Tango hall in Lower town,

people choose
What you and France do with the
provinces after 1 have ceded them to
you is no concern OF mine," answered
Francis Joseph. The fortunes of war
have gone against me and cheerfully
pay the penalty. 1 cede the provinces
to you; to you. the conqueror, but not
to the people. I will not attach my
name to any document that recognizes
the right of these people. who have
been mine and whom I now give 70
you. to have any voice whatsoever in
the matter of their government. That
is matter that does not concern
them; it is a question solely for their
kings and rulers.
"An admission by me that they had
any right or voice in their own gov
ernment would be to admit revolution
and subvert the true principle of gov
ernment which is by kings. What you
may do with them later, is a matter
between you and them: but I cannot
place my name on any treaty. which
recognizes the right of the people to
have any voice in their government"
And the treaty, as signed by the two
emperors, shows that Francis Joseph
gained his point. Although Napoleon
subsequently turned the provinces over
to a government chosen by the people
of those lands, the treaty was abso-
lutely silent about it.

policy. however, she declares must be a
changeable one.
Il do believe" she said. lin teaching
children certain amount of self
knowledge. But above all else must the
child itself be studied before any step
in this direction can be taken. In one
case a child of ten might be told much
more than another child of fourteen or
fifteen. 1t must be made a personal mat
ater, and not only the child's capacity
for understanding be taken into con-
sidreation. but its innate curiosity as
well.
"As children mature questions come
into their heads, nobody knows from
where. least Of all they themselves.
They should be taught. as little tots, to
come to mother with all questions. And
then, when they do. If the answer is too
deep for their understanding, too ma
ture for their years, their curiosity must
yet be satisfied to the point where they
will not seek further enlightenment.
"The tales which children carry, one
to the other, do an untold amount of
harm. One child, who has never been
taught in this manner, can spread the
germ of unnecessary inquisitiveness to
an alarming extent; can put questions
into the minds Of tiny children which
