A DEMAND

The republics of North and South America will be well within
their rights if they undertake. by Jont action, to establish neutrality
boundaries in the waters of this hemisphere. AT the present time me
limit is recognized as three miles, within which distance from shoe
sells flying a hostile flag. The proposition now being considered b.
the nations of the e world is to push this neutral boundary further
out INTO the high seas; o draw the line far enough off the coasts to
include the ordinary trade routes of the nations concerned. The warning
powers OF Europe would then be notified that any violation of the new
neutrality lines would be considered al unfrendly act toward the gov
ernments of this hemisphere.
1t is difficult to see how this extension could interfere with any
legitimate naval operations OF the old world powers at wal among
themselves. To be sure it might hamper commerce destroyers, but
ed piracy of the nations at war? Why should the peaceful commerce II
North and South America be at the mercy of British or German men
ofwar in American waters, ven though that commerce be carried in
commercial ships of benigerent nations? ~.
That portion of the world that has NJ active part in the war suffers
serious enough consequences without imposing unnecessary burdens. The
interests of n o berigerept nation will be unduly affected by freeing tie
peaceful American nations from the dangers OF naval operations o their
coasts. The innocent bysander" is frequently the chief victim in a
quarrel The innocent bystanders in this case, the North and South
American republics, are fully justified in demanding that Europe conhne
its scrapping to its W land and water, and keep clear of ours.

E IN H GAME

AS yet Clark county has attracted but small attention in the world
OF active mining, the reason being that capital for proper development
has been hard to get, and the hundreds of attractive prospects have
been only slightly developed by the individual work of the prospectors
from year to year. With the remarkable strikes in the Boss and other
properties in the Yellow Pine district and the splendid showing of high
grade in the Golden Sceptre and other properties on the opposite side
of Las Vegas W e Did fair now to receive the attention of the live wires
IN the mining game. We have hundreds of prospects which warrant
the expenditure of some money for development. Some of them will
ultimately become paying mines.
There is probably no section of the United States so we'll nineralz-
critics may be obtained s easily Much of the best country has been
only specifically prospected. Hundreds of excellent prospects showing
ore OF good value await the action o. the la who will furnish sufficient
money to sink. In other words, Clark county is to a certain extentv virgin
ground or the mining promoter and operator. The word promoter does
not sound Conservative to some, yet the thing W e need here is promo
uon-the kind of promotion which will bring the men and I,
take a chance with us in developing the mineral resources of one of
the richest sections OF the United Staes-Las Vegas Age.

The results to date have been
most gratifying. The people have
rallied to the support of the meet

money for the running expenses of
the meeting was raised in free will
offerings. and finished up Sunday
evening in the most hearty manner.
There have been fifty professions of
conversion and it looks like the
meetings are just getting fairly
started. We are having unusually
large congregations, and the music
has been inspiring from the first
and Brother Andrews preaching
has been powerful and heart search
ing. Can any one who heard his
sermon Tuesday night ever forget
it? His pictures of Heaven and Hell
will live in the memories of some
who heard it through all the re-

only a few more days of the meet
ing, but there is time enough to do
a world of good. Let our efforts be
untiring until the end. Let every

My interest in seeing the Presi-

My. Dear Mr.. McClung:
For many years in Democratic
circles in Missouri has been the
Gibralter of Democracy west of the
Mississippi. From the time of Ben
ton, it has furnished leaders who
have truly led for measures to pro-
mote the common veal. This was
never truer than today. and in com.
mon with all who believe that the
welfare of the Republic at this time
needs the election of able, forwar d.
looking men in the next Congress-
l am earnestly hoping that the
Democrats of Missouri will uphold d
the hands of President Wilson and
the cause of Peace by re-electine
Senator Stone and. all the Dem o.
cratic members of the House by in.
creased majorities.
The record which the sMissour ri
have made has brought them. mot
only the approval of Democrats,
but of progressive voters of all par
ties. In the Senate the passage Of
twenty-five peace treaties and wise
action on the grave information a
problems that have been before

chiefly, to the patriotic and ablt
leadership of that great Missourian
