GAINING IN STRENGTH

Las Vegas Age: Governor Oddie
has steadily gained in strength during
the entire four years of his term. His
election brought into the political
game of Nevada system which
seems to have been heretofore un-
known or at least disregarded. Gov
ernor Oddie's system was simple
one and not hard for . man of his
character to play. II was simple,
sincere, straightforward and honesty
Of purpose. For q time the little
scheming politicians failed to under
stand the strength Of his position.
They were unable, it seems, to ap-
preciate the splendid strength of the
man who could rely upon the knowl-
edge of the old saying, which Is yet
ever new, 1.-THE truth " mighty and
will prevail. - As the years Of his
service to the state have passed one
by one, and we are able to look in
review at the splendid victories which
Governor Oddie' has won by firm ad-
herence to this system, we marvel
that some othors in public life do not
adopt the same plan. Yet, it is
noticeable that among the public men
Of the state the devious, tricky sys-
tenn Of politics seems to be preferred
by the majority.

] am an optimist and believe that

together in one great party, under

same principles, and will sweep the
country in 1916. Two parties, even
though travelling around the earth
and moving in opposite directions,
with the same lofty ideals in view,
vii each get back to the original
starting point, somehow, some time.
The preliminary exodus on that side
of the house has already begun and
will be practically completed at the
coming election. Those members
who stood for the Underwood tariff

". P. MAKES new
DISCIPLINE RULES

Commencing with July lst, the
Western Pacific will introduce q new
system Of Siiscipline among it's en-
gine and trainmen. In the past it
has been the custom of the COM
pany to punish its employees for com
mitting infractions of the rules by
suspending them from service with
out pay for certain period of time,
depending entirely upon the nature
Of the violation.
A book containing the record of
each employe will be kept in the
Office Of the superintendent, and an
entry made for each meritorious act,
heroic, displaying good Judgment in
emergency cases, and special act of
loyalty, and for neglect of duty, vio-
lation of rules, with such number Of
credits or debts as n the Judgment
Of the superintendent or master me-
chanic, in mechanical matters, may
be merited. II is to be understood
that the number of demerif marks are
equivalent to the number Of days ac-
tually suspended without pay under
the old system.
An employe will be entitled to sew
enty-fve demerit marks before dis
missed, and for each case of twelve
months Of lsick or other good causes
for absence excepted) perfect service,
free from debit, shall be given thir-
ty-fve merit marks.
The accruing credit marks shall
offset like number Of demerit
marks, except in offenses for which
seventy-five demerits are given.
Employees will, as heretofore, be
dismissed for insubordination and
violation Of rules &C., and No. 357.
Rule "G' is for drunkenness and No.
357 for fighting with fellow-em-
ploye.
An employee may inspect his own
record at any time, but not the rec
ord Of any other employee. A written
notice from the superintendent 3 Of
fee will notify an employee Of what
action has been taken in giving mer-
il or demerit marks.

Jackson, Miss April 15.-Accord-
ing to Hon. D. A. Scott, prominent
attorney and planter of Clarksdale,
who is in the city on legal business,
the early corn crop throughout the
northern portion of the delta was
badly damaged by the cold weather
last week. The tender plants have
turned yellow in the fields, and a
large amount of replanting will be nee
essary.
The damage to the cotton crop, &C
cording to Mr.. Scott, will consist
chiefly in the rotting of seed in the
ground, owing to the low temperature
and heavy rainfall, and a considerable
amount of replanting will be neces-
sary. However, the planters are not
discouraged, and have already start
ed the work of getting new seed in
in the ground The norther delta
counties raised splendid crops last
year, and they will be more than salts
fled If they can duplicate their success
of the 1913 season.
