on DOCTORING ACCOUNTS.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad company is charged by the
interstate commerce commission with
overstating its earnings in 1910 and
understanding them in 1911, all for
the purpose of furnishing an argu-
ment for an increase in freight rates.
The commissions discovery is shock
ing, or not just as you look at it.
The point of view, once stOutly de-
Tended is that it was no ones bust
ness how a business enterprise kept

the stockholders. IL was no affair or

nothing TO do with il. unless its serN-
ices should have TO be called in at
time OF bankruptcy. Indeed. that
system of reporting corporation earn
ings which told the least and yet
made a fine show OF telling every =
thing was held in highest regard.
The new point of view is that the
business of the public service corpo-
rations is the business of the public.

not deceive, must not mislead must

THE BUTCHERS AND THE CAM
ELS BACK

The San Francisco butchers have
boycOtted liver, owing to the high
price placed upon the article by the
packers, and the people of that city
are forced 10 fOrego liver and bacon,
and in such other forms as it was
once provided.
In these days of high meat il is
absurd TO speak of any such action
as would tend TO improperly end the
life of a herbiVerOus animal, else we
would say the packers had placed the
straw that broke the camel's back.
Indeed, so great is becoming the meat
scarcity in this country we hesitate
TO intimate that even the worm will
turn, for fear man in his desire for
some form of meat food. will inter-
fere with an adequate reward for the
early bird.
The action of the packers is the
most conclusive proof yet furnished
of the growing scarcity of meat in
this country of the once free liver.
1t recalls the Indignation of the fru-
gal provider, when first he was asked
TO pay ten cents for a couple of
pounds of liver, and his querulous
ejaculation, gee! why don't you cut
the whole critter up into liver"
One by one the pleasant institu-
tons of the past are being abandon
ed No longer can the saloOnkeeper
furnish his free lunch, founded large
ly upon free liver, and now that the
exactions of the greedy packers have
offended the butcher the taste ac-
Quired for the dish under these favor
able circumstances must be suppress
ed in the superior atmosphere of the
home.

part of the hog was used except the
squeal would find added supplies OF

to expect instances of relapsing con-

Miss McAdoo. the charming daughter
Of the secretary OF the treasury. is

tons for her beauty and clothes
While this is a nice thing TO say of the
young lady it leaves the inference that
she has nothing else.
YOUNG woman with beauty and
good clothes and nothing else, which
we do not believe Miss McAdoO is, is
truly an object Of pity. She may be

Some Loss For Terry Hut.
EFT. Wayne Journal Gazette.)
On returning from Charleston. H.,
Mrs w. 8 Candy had to change cars
at Terre Haute, and while waiting for
her train went down into the city to
see what remained of a great fire
which had been raging right in the
heart of he business section since
$3.50 the previous evening The fire
men were still at work about o'clock
in the morning. Bare walls and brok-

AFTER careful investigation we are
satisfied that most of the brutality in
cident TO the boxing game is confined
TO the press reports. For example in
the RitchieW Olgast fight, round six:
"Ritchie chopped Wolgast on the back
of the neck half dozen times but the
Dutchman landed hard left swings to
the body and head They went at il
hammer and tongs. Richie forced
WOlgast arOung the ring and landed
some furnishing blows to the face"
BUT enough of this brutal story.
When Richie and Wolgast returned
to Chicago they didn't show a mark
and all that reminded them of their
encounter was a little soreness on
the body muscles and a good big check
apiece. If the newspapers should keep
out of it the boxing game would be-
come popular parlOr amusement.

WHAT SPIDER INDICATED

When Mark Twain, in his early
days was editor of a Missouri paper
a superstitious subscriber wrote to
him saying he had found a spider in
his paper and asking him whether
1t was a sign Of good luck or bad.
The hum6rist wrote to him this
answer and printed it:
old Subscriber Finding a spid-
er in your paper was neither good
luck nor bad luck for you. The
spider was merely looking over our
paper to see which merchant is not
advertising, so that he can go to
that store and lead a life of undis-
turbed peace ever atferward."-

BENEFITS OF PRIATlNG

To every man: Consider the
Printer and his work. Greatly hath
printing wrought for thy benefit,
and for all mankind. To movable
types thou art debtoef fog thy know
ledge. th, liberty, and thy pros
perity. Thy greatest human bene-
factor is John Gutenberg, of Maipz,
In Germany where four centuries
ago his printing types first pierced
the gross darkness of ignorance
and superstition prevailing through
many preceding centuries. The
types of Gutenberg are now, as
ever, the pillars Of fire leading To-
ward universal civilization in-the-
time-coming, when mental and NOR
al darkness shall be no more. Print
ing-reviyer Of forgotten classic
lore, fructifier and voice of mod
efn thoughts and ideas, engenderer
of inventions, teacher of teachers
without thine aid poets and phil
osophers and teachers were a little
better than dumb, the people I'M
taught and light swallowed up in
darkness! Printing giveth thee
power to marshal in thy house the
supreme intelligences of all the
ages. Printing giveth thee power
to draw custom to thy factory from
all countries. Printing giveth to
the humblest shop increase of pros.
Derity. BY means of Printing more
riches are gained each day by mer-
chants than are yielded yearly ny
all the goldfelds.
Every man: Canst thou in veri.
ty, pondering deeply, give praise
50 high for achievements So glor-
.ious to any other product of hand
and brain? Wherefore, honor
Printing, and deprive not thyself
of its benfits.- Henry Lewis Bullrn

SUIT OVER new
LAW IS BONAFIDE

Tonopah. New, January ID, 1914
To the Press of Nevada:
The press is in error as to the
accusation of the State of Nevada
against w. H. Blackburn being a
friendly suit"
1t is a criminal prosecution based
upon information and belief that
the defendant has violated the law
making it a crime to employ per-
sons who cannot clearly speak and
readily understand the English Ian
guage, or who cannot readily read
and understand any sign, notice or
list of rules or directions, printed
in the English language in regard
to rules of'safety in underground
mines.
This a most important and far
reaching law, but there has been
no editorial comment made, as far
as ] have sesn, by the press, and it
has no place on the program of the
safety first" is the reason for en-
actment and the ground upon which
its constitutionality can be upheld.
The case has been removed to the
federal courts at Carson and no
other case for its violation in this
Jurisdiction will be prosecuted until
this court has passed upon its con-
stitutionality, provided the opera
tors violating the law do not use the
courts for purposes of delay in it's
enforcement. 1t is true that if the
law is upheld operators who employ
aliens will be most effected thereby
but this fact does not warrant the
construction that the law is design
ed to prevent the employment of
aliens. Safety first is the keynote
of the law, and if aliens comply
with its conditions it is as much,
if not more, helpful to them than
any otCer class.

District Attorney of Nye County.
