AN INTERESTING MEETING

An interesting meeting of the
parents and teachers association
was held at the grammar school
yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Higgen-
botham, leader. The subject,
What women have done for the
Nations children" was introduced
by the leader with II short pspe
and reports Of the members fol-
lowed.
Mrs. Overman read an excellent
paper showing how women have al
ways been in the front rank Of
those demanding better laws and
better enforcement thereof, relat-
ing to the conservation Of the
health of children. 1t has been
suggested that copy of this paper
he procured to be kept at the as
ssociation room for reference as il
is full of ideas for practical work.
Mrs. McWhinney spoke of the
vocational training Of children as
taken up in different parts Of the
U. S. and brought out the fact that
the trend of thought Of the best
c 'ucators is toward vocational
rather than academic training as
the principal work of the high
school Of the future.
Mr.. Steninger spoke briefly of
the Child Labor laws and the part
women have played in bringing
about better conditions for young
wage carners everywhere.
The subject was closed by the
leader by reading report by Mrs.
Lathrop, Chairman of the Chill.
dren's Bureau at Washington d. G..
A short business session was
held at which it was decided to offer
prize to the children Of the 5th,
9th and 7th grades for the best
composition about birds to be writ
ter during the next few weeks
when Nevada's many beautiful
songsters will be OF their best. The
flags awarded for the highest per
cent of punctuality and attendance
during February were won by Miss
Cranes room of the primary de.
partment and by Miss Lechy's room
of the grammar department.
The picture for the month was
awarded to Mrs. Cicala's room.

JUSTICE TO BENEDICT ARNOLD

For more than a hundred wears
the name of Benedict Arnold has
been the most detested in Ameri-
can history. Judge c. C. Goodwin
throws some new light ar his case.
He was attached to the army of
General Gates who was an cgo.isti-
cal. scheming, incompentent, who
got rid of everyone under hin, that
he thought might he apt to climb
higher.
Gates relieved Arnold Of his COM
mand on the eve of the battle of
Saratoga. Next day while the battle
was in progress Arnold wat, he'd
the successful work of the enemy
until he could bear it no longer,
and then mounting his horse rode
to the head of his column. AS his
troops cheered and followed him,
Gates sent an aid after him to stop
him from taking part in the bat
tie. The aid was unable to over
take him and he won the fight after
1t was all but lost and captured
BeTis Heights. Gates, of course,
took the credit. Arnold lost leg
in the fight. Soon after, by reason
of Arnold's splendid work Bur-
guyne was compelled to surrender
and Gates took the credit for that
Arnold brooded vengefully over
the injustice that had been heaped
upon him, and finally sold out to
the enemy.
He has been justly execrated
ever since but while boys are
taught to revile him as a traitor,
at the same time they should be
taught to shed a tear for that leg
that was shattered on Bemis
Heights.

THE PLUMBING ORDINANCE

The more we study the plumbing
ordinance now before the county
commissioners the stronger our op-
position to il grows. One If our
main objections to it is that it
gives the inspector too much pow
er. Under it he has the power,
under the direction of the board of
health, ito Inspect and examine nll
buildings and places in the town
of EIko SUSPECTED of being in
an unsanitary condition"
This gives the INSPECTOR the
power to enter your house under q
mere suspicion that your plumbing
is not sanitary and cause you trou-
bic and expense. 1t seems to tire
ordinary person that if the plumb
ing of house is not sanitary and
is endangering the health Of the
community the occupants of that
house would be the first To find it
out and have the evil corrected.
Giving a man clothed with n little
brief authority the right to enter
your premises on mere suspicion
is dangerous right to give to any
one.
Then the inspector in the next
article is given the right to inspect
all plumbing in the town or Elko
"at times as are reasonable and in
such manner Hs will insure sani-
tary condition thereof" In this
case he does not even have to sus-
pect that the plumbing is unsani-
tary. He has the right to enter
your premises, whenever he wants
job and put you to expense. En-
perlcnce has taught US that the
plumbers are very much like other
people and that the tc ptatiOn to
get job might sometimes out
weigh their judgment and sanitary
plumbing would be declared nsani.
tnry. Ihis is very likely to happen
If an active, working plumber is
giveu the position of inspector.
There arc other objections TO this
ordinance that will be discuss el
from day to day. In the reanlime
or columns are open to any re-
spccIful communication dealing
with the ordinance.

Accordingly Mr.. Happier did, so
he told me, as requested by Mr..
Griswold which resulted in a letter
being sent to the commissioners
the following Tuesday morning.
The letter is on file in the county

is a copy Of said letter, viz
Dear Sirs: Please attend to this
matter and ohlige citizens of Car
lin.
Carlin, New. March 21, 1914
TO the Honorable the Board of
County Commissioners, Elko,
Nevada.
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned
citizens and taxpayers request that
you ignore Mr.. Puett's request for
a special tax levy on the property
in this district and also we gave
the gentleman nc permission to
make such n request,
Yours truly,
w c. Ovens, r. L. Keyscr. D. r.
Thompson, j. A. Bielar, Chas.

fin, w. T. Linebarger."
Mr.. Bielar and Mr.. Happier were
present at the mass meeting held
in the lobby of the Overland Hotel
on Feby. %.
The commissioners tailed to place
special levy on the property in
the town Of Carlin at their Mar ch
meeting of this year in any sum
whatever for the town development
purposes. The writer is advised
that they can not now authorize a
special levy for Carlin until March,
1915.
1t now appears that our grand
old sinking fund Of $3.50 must sup.
ply our public necessities for an
other year.

to do all business for the county

chambers in the court house; orga.
nizc and commence their work in

balance Of the county officers do at

payers will receive more returns

STRAIGHT TALK

1t is not too early to sound n note
of warning in regard to the char
acter Of the men TO be nominated
for public office this year in the
State f Nevada. The primaries
will bn held in September and the
date of holding them should find
each county in a state uf prepared
ness. In the past there has been a
great opportunity for criticism
along this line. Especially does
this warning apply to the makeup
of the Legislature. Little attcn-
tion has been paid to this matter
by either party in years past, with
the result that many men of me-
diocre ability, il any at all, have
been delegated TO do the law.mak-
ing for the whole people In many
instances these men have had so
little interest in the State that has
honored them that when the ghos,
failed to walk thcv forthwith shook
the dust Of Nevada from their feet
The necessity is urged upon the
voters Of the State in rejecting
thoroughly reprtscntatire men
men whose material interests are
important--to send to Carson City.
The argument cannot be offered
that such mon arc not available.
The fact Is that in no State in the
Union can there bn found such n
large crcentage of capable men,
population considered as is avail.

not elected to fll the Offices In this
State the ultimate blame must rest

RAW JOURNALISM

The Wells Herald in its last issue
is guilty of very raw journalism,
not to apply harsher term, in its
article in reply to the Independent
on the issuance of the Wells high
school bonds. 1t pretends to quote
from our article but makes a
change in one word of the quota
tlou that makes US say nearly the
opposite of what we did say and
what we meant. In our article We
said, after referring to Assembly
Inan Fernald. Russell and Mcbride
not being on the floor when the
ball was passed and being recorded
as voting for thc bill "This alone
raises the SUSPICION that crook
ed work was done by someone in
the passage of this bill" The Her
aid in it's endsavor to make point
falsifies that sentence and pub
fishes it as follows: ."This alone
raises the OPINION that crooked
work was done by someone in tn.
passage of this bill"
Now there is great difference in
the meaning of suspicion" and
opinion" as anyone can see by
referring to dictionary. We do
not believe that the editor Of the
Herald is so ignorant of the Eng
lish lang that he does not know
that difference. II the substitution
of "opinion" for suspicion" was
not done ignorantly it was done in
tentionally and for a base purpose.
If done ignorantly we shall ex-
pect the Heralj to MAKE the proper
apology in its next issue.
1t is needless to say that the In
dependent stands by its statement
and still have suspicion" that
some one did crooked work in the
passage of the Wells high school
bill. Who that someone is we can
not say because we do not know.

constable hcrded the others cast

taken to Winnemucca and placed In

OF vagrancy will be placed against
him and that he will be given q
