nuenced to a marked degree by
rhe social customs Of the time
and age is brought forcibly TO mind
al present when all evening affairs
are divided into two classifications,
those at which there is dancing, and
those at which there is none Con-
sequently Gowns are known as
dancing dresses or those worn at
the opera, formal dinners or recep-
tons. This is a distinctly new de-.
parture. created solely by the vogue
for dancing and it has become 50
important a factor that the types
of Gowns suitable for each occasion
are now carefully studied by the
great dressmakers Of Paris and
New York. and by merchants and
BUYERS as well. This season the
distinction between the dancing and
the formal evening gown is particu-
larly marked Chic, youthifying
frocks. fashioned Of satin, the skirts
trimmed with long single or double
tuue or lace tunics, or with series
Of finely pleated tulle flounces. ex-
tending from waist line TO hem, are
in vogue for dancing These gowns
are rather short and in many in
stances a pleated chiffon founda-
tion is substituted for the satin drop
skirt beneath the long tunic, so that
the free. graceful movement Of the
dancer may not be restricted. Wide
girdles and shoulder draperies Of

these frocks. a broad selection is
offered in dancing and gowns for

OLD JOHN SULLIvAN'S
REAL VICTORY

Old John l.. Sullivan recited a list

Incidentally, he mentioned another
victory, without boasting. That was
his victory over John B~arleycorn.
The other John says he put Mr..
Barleycorn out nine years ago and

engagement. says San Francisco Ex-

John L. was a square fighter, but a
chap who can drink up a fortune

himself an industrious and respected

A CULTIVATED PROVIDENCE.

According to President Wilson:
America. among all the countries In
the world, needs a cultivated provi-
dence. and ] think 1t needs a cultivat-
ed providence more than any other
nation needs a cultivated providence,
you know philanthropic men OF
recent years have been taking surveys
of this, that. and other communities
and some friends of mine who were
concerned in making a survey and a
statistical review of life of one of the
most industrial communities OF
America, told me the outcome of the
survey was this. 1t Is almost incredi-
BILE. but he told me that out of that
great community there were hardly
more than 2 per cent, of the individ-
uals who could eat tomorrow IL they
didn't work today; only 2 per cent,
of these individuals who had any mar
gin whatever to live upon and who
did not depend absolutely upon on
slant labor to sustain their lives.
II may say that may not be ac-
curate. But whether right or wrong,
my point is this: We should all
make a greater security for the to-
morrow.
Security is the basis OF prosperity
in national life. You must make your
foundation of hope. the foundation OF
confidence, and so every enterprise
must be conducted In the spirit oil
trustees for the welfare OF the
nation"

THE BONANZA DECLARES ITSELF

The so-called corrupt practices
act enacted by the last legislature
was an instrument bunglingly des-
ignated to shield those whose acts
would not bear the penetrating light
of newspaper inquiry. As a matter
of law 1t Is on a parity with other
measures passed by the same coterie
of jawsmith and seekers after a little
cheap notority and Is as full of holes
as a sieve. 1t was designed for moth
ing more than a threat to muzzle the
press OF Nevada or to condone the
remissness of certain papers in re-
framing from publishing facts about
favored sons. The Bonanza takes oo-
casion to issue notice to the attorney
general and all candidates for Office
that the corrupt practice" law will
be treated as a dead letter, as 1t is
aimed only at a suppression of truth
and works for the election of men
who have proved recreant to their
trusts and would avail themselves OF
the slightest pretex to sneak under
cover at the first intimation oil
danger.
The Bonanza does not intend to
conform 10 the tommyrot ideas of the
men who formulated this pure cleo
ton law. This paper proposes to say
what IL pleases on all subjects wheth-
er they are p~alatable to the people
concerned or not. The honest man has
nothing to fear from the Bonanza.
The dark lantern methods Of hack
politicians who have dictated policies
of every party with which they chose
to align themselves are the ones to
fear the light. Now il is time to give
fair warning to all Democrats and
Republicans aspiring TO office. Once
more let II be said that the Bonanza
is going to have something to "a
about the ext election. We propose
to do a little politics this time where
silence before has been dictated by
party interests. There will be nc
gagging of the press. Neither will
there be a bride with the lines in the
hands of any BOSS to determine the
editorial policy. There will be NJ
pull or drag. The. truth will 90.
This is Official. final and irrevocable.
If the truth cannot be written in this
Office ii can and will be written In Jail
and the facts heralded in poster type
on every blank wall In the state
Courts and officials may do their best
to enforce this law which is a direct
blow It the liberty of the press.
There will be no attention paid to the
obnoxious statute and We would like
TO see some one interfere with the
policies of the Bonanza. There will
be no straddling or lodging. The
Bonanza will hit straight from the
shoulder and those who happen to get
in the way will have themselves only
to blame.-Tonopah Bonanza.
