Under the head "Mocking the
Law" the Reno Gazette has a keen
analytical editorial on two recent
state appointments.
No senator or member of the
assembly shall, during the term
for which he shall have been
elected, nor for one year there
after. be appointed to any civil
office Of profit under the state
which shall have been created,
or the emoluments of which shall
have been increased, during such
term, except such Office as may
be filled by election by the PEG
Pile
above is the exact language of
Section of Article of the consti-
tuition of Nevada. The Gazette had
occasion recently to invite attention
to plain disregard of this proyi-
sion, in the appointment of Senator
Zeb Kendall, of Tonopah. as super
intendent of the Nevada exhibit at
the Panama-Pacifc exposition. His
salary is fixed at $500 per month.
Another member of the Legislature,
Harry Mighels, has now been APP
pointed or employed as secretary, or
i'm some other capacity, under the
commission. II is understood that
the word employed is used in both
instances to eyade the language of
the constitution. which uses the
word appointed The distinction, OF
subterfuge, may satisfy the con
science and the ethical sense Of the
attorney-general il will not satisfy
the people.

MOCNNG THEL LAW WITH CONSENT
Of ATTORNEY GENERAL Of STATE

ing his salary as a law officer of the
state. They want an attorney-gen-
eral who is first a lawyer; second,
lawyer who believes in the law, in
its spirit and in its letter; a lawyer
who will encourage respect for the
law rather than make joke OF il,
a lawyer who believes in government

1T has been suggested. in defense
Of these appointments, that the APP
pointment of Senator Mills as mem
Der Of the commission is on the same
footing. We never urged the ap-
rointment OF Mills; we are not au-
thorized TO speak for him, but we
are advised that he serves without
salary and is reimbursed only for
actual expense. certified under oath
Should il appear that Senator Mills
receives salary he should be fired.
should il appear that he has filed or
sworn to a padded expense account,
he should be turned over as prompt
~ as the courts could do it to the
care of Warden Dickerson. If the
service of Senator Kendall or As
semblyman Mighels is on the same
footing as that of Senator Mills, this
comment on Thatcher and the board
would apply to his appointment as
well as to the others.

1.-THE most deplorable feature of
these appointments is the fact that
the attorney-general. the law officer
of the state, voted for them, as ex-
offieio member of the exposition
board. In what position does this
law officer now find himself? If the
controller of the treasurer, mindful
of his official bond, his oath OF of
flee and his duty to the state, would
be advised OF his legal right to pay
these appointees, he must appeal to
the attorney-general, who voted for
them. If the encouragement should
rule. as every reputable attorney in
the state would rule, that the audit
ing and disbursing officers of the
state are without authority to pay,
then George Thatcher as attorney
general must contravene the act OF
George Thatcher of the exposition
board. BY hook or crook; or hook
and crook, or distortion and subter-
fuee; or pettifogging, he might, and
of course would, advise payment,
His bond would not be liable-what
has he at stake? Yet how about
those who are liable but must look
to him for advice? 1t would appear
that one of the sorest needs of the
state is a provision for the bonding
of the attorney-general, on whose
advice the financial agents of the
state are expected to rely.

"The Gazette has believed in the
exposition; it believed in an appro-
priation sufficient to meet the legiti-
mate expense: it has tried to sup
port the commission in its work: it
has defended it against numerous at
lacks. Other newspapers of the state
have pursued the same course. They
did it for patriotic reasons and not
for politics, graft or spoils of office.
But the commission whose hands
they have tried to uphold, whose adj
ministration they have tried to
strengthen, are making this defense
a mighty hard problem. They need
to be defended not against others,
not against enemies of the exposi-
ton, but against themselves. and the
sooner they realize it, the better ii
will be for the state and the more
readily and cheerfully will the people
Of the state support them.
"a decent respect of the constitu
ton. the organic law of the state, is
worth more to Nevada than dozen

"But is this the kind of legal ad-
vice Nevada wants TO provide for the
guidance of its state officials. its
agents or others? Do they
want an attorney to tell them to

there was nothing but the kindliest
feeling toward either of them. But
If they sought these appointments
they disgraced the legislative offices

appointments they disregarded their

$500 ALREADY PLEDGED
Both Railroad Companies Offer Sites
to Farmers Elevator Company
for Building Purposes.

There was meeting at the court
house Saturday afternoon at o'clock
of those interested in the proposed
farmers elevator company and in the
neighborhood of twenty-five prominent
farmers were in attendance.
Up to the present time in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 has been pledged by
farmers living in the territory adjacent
to Denison and all indications point
that there will be more Forthcoming.
Solicitors will call on farmers again
this week and will make a report at
the meeting to be held Saturday af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock. If at that time
enough has been pledged a stock COM
pany will be formed and the company
incorporated
At the Saturday afternoon meeting
the matter of securing site was
brought up for consideration. We un-
derstand that both the Northwestern
and Illinois Central railroads have
offered the new elevator company
sites on their right of way. Those
back of the movement tell us that in
all probability the proposition of the
Illinois Central will be accepted and
that the elevator will be erected on
their right of way near the freight
depot. This would make an ideal To-
cation for the elevator as it is located
on the main thoroughfare leading into
the city from the west.

A committee, composed 0i Albert

was appointed to meet with the OFF,
GERS Of the Denison improvement COM
pany and make arrangements for the
renting of the old Germania opera
house building. which will be used for
a gymnasium for the children OF the
public schools. 1t is proposed to rent
the building for a term of Years and
equip it with all the paraphernalfa
necessary to make it an UP TO date
gymnasium. The public school has
never had an adequate gymnasium in
which basket ball games anG all in
door sports could be enjoyed. With
very little expense an excellent indoor
running track could be arranged, us
ing the balcony and extending it In

that negotiations have been going on

NISSCHAMBERLIN
AGAIN A WINNER
Secures First Place in Sub-District
Oeciamatory Contest Held at
GIidden Last Friday.
"NAuGH1Y zELL" HER SELECTION
Superintendent Humphrey Is Already
Busy Making Arrangements for
District Contest in Denison

The Sub-District Declamatory con-
test was held last Friday evening at
Glidden, Iowa, and Denison's contest
ant, Miss Ethel Chamberlin, was again
successful in winning first place in the
humorous class, which means that
Denison will be represented at the dis
trict contest, to be held here on Fri
day evening, March 9th.
Miss Chamberln delivered the hu-
morous selection entitled Naughty
Zell," which was well adapted for her
particular style of delivery. She has
been under the training of Miss Mar
tina Hugg, who accompanied her to
GIidden. Miss lla Glasscock, Of West
Side, was the only other contestant in
the humorous class, and delivered
"The Intervention of Grandpa" The
judges in this class were: Supt. E. G..
Meredith, of Boone; Miss Jeffery,
principal of the Logan high school, and
Supt. Griffin, Of Lake City.
Miss Chamberlin made considerable
of a record last year and won in every
contest except the final, when she was
brought in competition with the best
orators of the state. She is speaker
of marked ability and takes great
pleasure in her oratorical work. We
predict that when the contest is held
in Denison on the evening of the 9th
that Miss Chamberlin will be found
among the winners.
Supt. G. E. Humphrey is already
busy making arrangements for the dis
trict contest, which will be held in the
Germania opera house. 1t is expected
that contestants will be present from
the following towns: Spencer, Prim-
CHAR, Sandorf, Storm Lake, Glidden,
Laurens, Rolfe, Newell, Emmettsburg,
Britt and Belmond. Denison people
should plan to attend this entertain
ment and help to cheer the home con-
testant to victory.

the greatness of the automobile and
the beautiful streamlike body will be
disappointed, for the institute deals
strictly with the elementary princi-
pies of the operation and care and is
intended for just two kinds of men,
those who run and those who expect
to run cars. We leave the speeches
on the beauties of the automobile and
it's service to civilization, to the deal
ers and promoters of the motor car in
dustry."
Consultations and the exhibits will
be available for every one, although it
is not possible to get the exhibit
boards placed before the second day.
The institutes have met with great
praise from dealers, owners and man.
ufacturers throughout the state with
out regard to their aftiliation.

The citizens caucus, held at the city
hall last evening, was very largely at
tended, chiefly by supporters of Mayor
Laub who were determined that Mr..
Laub should be renominated notwith-
standing the dictates of Mr.. Caswell
and few disgruntled citizens.
The caucus was called to order at
o'clock by j. B. Lyon, the holdover
chairman from the citizens caucus of
years ago. DR.. R. o. McConnaughey
was elected secretary. A motion pre-
vailed that the caucus proceed to the
nomination of candidate for mayor
by informal ballot and Messrs. r. E.
Mote, DR.. B. F. Philbrook and w. A.
Cramer chosen as tellers.
On the informal ballot there were
1879 ballots cast, of which Mayor Laub
received 1913, w. E. Kahler 80, DR.. L.

Mayor Laub having received major
ity over all votes cast a motion
was made by Mr.. Kuehnle, duly Sec
onded, that the informal ballot be de-
cared formal and that Mr.. Laub be
the nominee Of the caucus. Mr.. Laub
was called for and made neat little
speech, in which he showed his appre-
ciaton for the confidence placed in his
administration and promised to do his
best in the future, as he had done in
the past.
Mr.. C. L. Voss for treasurer was
nominated by acclamation, as was Mr..
HI. A. Norman for assessor and the
two councilmen at large, Messrs. j.
H. Tamm and j. II. Hayes.
The ward caucuses were held i'm

before them. There was no opposition
to Messrs. Simpson of the third ward
and Moeller Of the second. In the first
