STARVING
BELGIUM

The cry OF Belgium for TODD will
appeal to every humane heart In AM
erica, remarks c. c. Goodwin. Four
months Z it was inhabitated by l.
100000 p~eaceable, happy people. Its
air was filled With tie songs OF happy
husbandmen, the hum ii factories, the
ringing of joy bells, and the land was
dotted by fair cities adorned By Won
derful, beautiful structures and the
of art which lis galleries con-
tanned were a worlds delight. And
its continued safety and peace were
assured by the solemn covenants of
all the strong nations surrounding it.
Now it's harvests have been des-
troyed, its soil churned into a desert
by the tread Of the vast armies, the
hoof beats of horses and the grind of
artillery wheels; its cities have been
made blackened ruins by the instru-
ments of determination which war
employs; 1t has been swept by fire
and sword, and from ahluence and
comfort its brave people by millions
are starving. Their king from a de-
fensive battle field is crying to us to
save his people from starvation. We
are sure the response will be both
prompt and generous, generous as a
sympathizing great people can make
1t. Think of it, brave men, beautiful
women and little children by millions
on the verge of starvation and only
six days distant from our shores!
We are certain what the response
from the people will be, and if in the
absence or congress- the president as,
m the responsibility and orders
such help as the occasion requires
congress will on reconvening ratlfy
his act and the people will applaud.
The Rockefeller gifts are splendid,
but they are not enough. the need is
oyermastering. the appeal is to the
whole American people.

OUR SUFFRAGE
LADIES'.

In last nights issue of the Elko
Free Press appears an article, signed
by Mrs. II. Roman which is but little
short OF an insult to the suffrage lad
les OF Elko, who held a little celebra-
ton at the Mayer Hotel Saturday af-
ternoon in honor OF the victory of the
women at the polls last Tuesday.
Two passing strange things con,
nected with the article in question
are, first, that it should eminate from
a lady, and second, that it sould find
place in a Nevada paper protesting
fairness and due respect for Neyada's
womanhood.
The article says In part:
After the talk at the meeting and
several of the women present had ex-
pressed their satisfaction Mt the result
of the election, II resolution of thanks
was voted the men of Nevada. There
oh, the shame of 1t! Two mattresses

CHANGE IN
MANAGEMENT

This isue Of the Independent goes
out under new management. George
b. Russell has purchased the interest
formerly held by H. N. Riddle. and
the paper will now be issued under
the firm name OF Keith & Russell.
Mr.. Russell is not a stranger to the
newspaper business. He literally grew
up in a newspaper Office and has
spent many years In that field OF en-
deavor. He established the Elko
Daily Free Press and for a number
OF years was identified with that pap
er. But some time ago he was lured
from the ways Of rectitude and right
%eousness which all good scribes follow
and turned his attention to politics.
That field looked roseate and cheer
full, and in imagination he saw a life
Of ease and luxury. The realization,
however, was altogether different than
pictured in Imagination and from the
last campaign he emerged entirely
disillusioned. He found that path
way beset with stones and thorns, and
like Deady's calf that followed the
steer over the mountain he was sor-
ry when supper time came. Now he
is back to his old love happy and
contented. With no bitterness of dis
appointment over failure to realize
political aspirations. with no enemies
to punish, with best of good feeling
to all, he again takes up newspaper
work, full OF energy and a determin-
alton to give the public the best that
is in him.
The policy of the Independent under
the new management will remain the
same. In politics 1t will be democrat
ic, and in all things and at all times
it will endeavor to make for a bigger
and better Elko and Elko county and
State of Nevada.
