BETTER DAY IS C0MING


There is practical unanimity On
the part of the press of Nevada in
regard to the movement started for
the advancement Of the state
through the election Of real and
reliable residents of this common
wealth as members of the next
legislature. 1t has been SHOWN
that fourteen members of one Me-
vada legislature and eleven men,
bers of another never returned to
the counties that had honored them
by election. This was the result of
placing confidence in carpet-bag-
gers and men whose sole object
in life is to secure an office. 1t is
because Of the general indications
that such men will not again be
elected to the legislature in this
state that the people are to be con.
graduated. 1t is already apparent
that there is to be a new deal.
1t is the rule with the chronic
ofice-seeker that after he had been
elected to Office he becomes arrogant
and begins, to feel THAT he is the
master and not the servant. "The
public be damned" is too often his
motto. To a certain extent this is
true of the conditions now pre-
vailing at Carson, and that is the
reason the people of the state are
clamoring for q nouse-cleaning in
the capitol building. 1t seems to
be the custom of the state officials
to place their wives, sons, daugh-
tiers, and even nephews on the pay
roll without delay and a general
spirit of arrogance dominates their
attitude toward the public. There
fore the people are demanding a
change.
Already men in whom the people
at large have confidence have an
nounced themselves as candidates
for the legislature and others will
file between now and the first of
August. With these men the best
interests OF the state.are uppermost
and the coming serenade is to be
the sN an-song of the carpet.bsgger
in Nevada. The outlook for this
state is brighter than usual In a
campaign year.--Goldfeld Tribune.

CREDIT FOR THE POPUlsT

In these days when the politician

The Kneisels.

Are We to pass artistic music this
season? The option on the Kneisel
string quartet concert for November
18th expires tomorrow. Just how
much of a risk, resulting from a
limited subscription, Manager Cook
may feel called upon to take, or be
justified in taking, is not known, but
it is probably true that If every one
who would thoroughly enjoy the
playing of the quartet were to sub.
scribe this afternoon the concert
would be assured and it will be un-
fortunate If, through mere negli-
gence, our only tirst-class concert
this season is allowed to go by de-
fault. It should be borne in mind
that the quartet has been heard
here twice heretofore and that the
present appearance, if consummated.
will afford another opportunity to
become actually familiar with the
musicianship Of one Of the world s
greatest instrumental organizations
which will be adding beneficial Gull
ture to delightful entertainment.
