Wl8s COSTLY SEQUEL

1t would be we'll for those war.
like souls who insist that it is ,he
duty Of the United States to inter.
vene in Mexico to spend a few
moments in counting the cost, not
only in the immediate expenditure
of blood and treasure, in loss OF
life, aud the diversion of thousands
from channels of productive en-
ploy ment, but in the burden OF
pensions that must be borne ror
years to come.
In the forty-nine years that have
elansed siLce close Of the civil war
the nation has spent, and spent
gladly and ungrudgingly, 1885,
000, 200 on account of pensions
growing out of that struggle. The
Spanish-American war was not
much of a war as wars go, but the
annual pension list arising from it
is now $2s, 000 900 and is, likely to
become larger.
War with Mexico would mean a
tremendously augmented pension
roll, and as experience with civil
wal pensions has proved, fifty
years hence the people of the
United States would still be paying
millions of dollars every year on
account of a conflict which would
be as much ancient history to most
of those now living as is the last
Mexican war to men of the present
dsy.-Newark News.

MARK JOHNSON'S JOY RIDE

Sometime last night or very early
this morning, Mark Johnson took
MI. Thatcher's automobile from
the Elko garage and went on a Joy
ride with his affinity. All went
well until the machine ran into Mr..
Hylton's freight wagon, standing in
Court street in front of his res
idence. The collision occurred be-
tween 2 and 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing. The noise of the collision woke
the people in the neighborhood.
They satisfied themselves that no
one was hurt and went back to he'd.
The man and woman finished their
trip on foot.
The auto was pretty badly wreck
ed, both axles being broken and
the tenders and woodwork badly
damaged. We understand that the
machine was taken without Mr..
Thatcher's authority.
Judging from the damage 10 the
machine it must have been going
at a lively pace when il struck the
wagon and the occupants were
lucky to escape serious i%njurv.

GRADUATING EXERCISES

The final exercises of the class of
1914 of the county high school
drew a large audience to the Opera
House last night. The exercises
opened with a musical prelude by
the nigh school orchestra. This
was followed by an invocation by
Rev. Ernest H. Price. The high
school choral class then sang "Let
the Hills Resound" The next was
an essay on "Tbe Twentieth Cen
fury Woman" by Miss Ruth Ged-
ney. Fred Fernald followed with
IN essay on Wireless Telepraphy."
Next came Miss EIvina Blevins with
an essay on Madame Curie." Miss
Laura George PluDkett sang Some

dress to the class. AS ne filed the

to his memory. He complimented
the class TO their work and said it
was the best high school class he
had ever seen, this he said later
was because it was the last grad
uating class he had seen. His re-
marks we're out of the usual rut
and were we'll received.
After the address the choral class
sang Autumn Leaves" This was
followed by the presentation If di-
plomas by Prof. Swanger. In his
remarks he called attention to some
of the needs Of the school. He said
the present building and equipment
were inadequate for the work
the school was expected to do. The
lack Of a dormitory for the care of
the students was the main cause for
the comparatively small enrolment
Of students. Parents would not
send their children. to the high
school under present conditions. He
pressed the need of a dormitory
upon the citizens Of Elko.
The exercises closed with 4

class.

WOOD ALCOHOL

Much has been written in recent
years regarding the almost criminal
ignorance Of the general public in
the use of wood alcohol, and its
injurious effect not only on eye
sight, but on life itself. The inn
p~ortance of adequate protection Of
the public in this regard is empha-
sized by a recent tragedy in New
York City. Three women died and
two we're made dangerously i'll
from drinking home made wine at a
wedding feast. The wine was made
by the bridegroom and was drunk
by the two hundred guests present.
The recipe for the beverage, the
police say, was sugar, water, alcohol
aud red and green colored mattet.
1t was first thought that the women
were suffering from ptomain pois.
on, but the coroner's physician
pronounced death to he due to al
cohol poisoning, and the police de-
clared that the wine was made with
wood alcohol. This dangerous
poisn often kills and ever when the
life of the victim is spared, he ia
generally blinded for the rest Of
his life.

ROBBINS WINS GOLF
CUP AT LAKEWOOD
Beats Kendall in Final
Round of the Fall
Tournament.

Arden NJ Robbins. Of Garden City,
won the chief cup IN the second fall
golf tournament Of the Country Club
Of Lakewood yestrday by defeating
Percy W Kendall, Of Deal, by up and
] 10 play IN the final match. II is in
teresting to recall the fact that as long
ago as eighteen years Robbins won
the principal trophy in tournament
az Morris County. incidentally, Ken
dali was also the runner-up in the
tournament over this same links three
weeks ago, finding it necessary to bow
20 John R. Maxwell, jr., of Nassau, IN
the final.
Neither Kendall nor Robbins dis
played what may be called champion
ship golf. although the match was well
fought all the way. They were even at
the turn, each having won two holes.
Kendall toc.I the lead at the short tenth
with two, but Robbins drew level at
the twelfth.
The Garden City veteran became up
again at the sixteenth. when although
he topped his drive and took six. his
opponent required five strokes 20 get 10
the green, doing about everything m
accurate in the meanwhile. Robbins
steadied down at the seventeenth and
decisive hole. and Kendall after a fine
drive. messed things up by fumbling
his second. That ended the match.
The card follows.
