PRESIDENT WILSON

says the ueTalu,
eve have at the head of the Gov
eminent at this critical time a man
in whose calmness and judgment
we have as great confidence as we
have IN his patriotism"
"Calmness and judgment" Great
words, expressing great qualities.
In the terrible storm of war that
has burst over Europe, Americans
have new reason to admire the
sense and sanity of. their own chief
magistrate.
Since autocracv. deliberately
plunged civilization into blood, we
hear no more sneers at en- admin
istfation that chose watchful wait
ing in preference to war. We
hear no more expressions of ron-
tempt for the Presidents idealism
and for his theories Of service.
These theories are NJ longer the
academic dreams of the school
MASTER" In the light of the wide
world catastrophe of the last ten
days the most blatant jinge in the
United States would not exchange
Woodrow Wilson for any European
statesman, and the partisan bigots
who ~professed to be ashamed of
their country have all been silenced
by events.
1t is very fine to prsttle about
"a vigorous foreign policy" but
conscience and sincerity and integ-
rity have their place in government
despite the Metternich legend that
still controls European chancellor
les. There was plenty of vigorous
foreign policy in Berlin, in Vienna
and in ST. Petersburg; but there
was none Of the good faith and
common honesty that have s6one
through the diplomacy IF Wash
ington. In consequence, all OF
Europe is directly or indirectly at
war, and it is only in the United
States that the flame of c~iviliza-
ion burns steadily and brightly.
Who doubts that if a man of
Woodrow Wilson's restraint and
temperament had been at the head
of the German government this
crime of the centuries would have
been ayerted? Who doubts, either
that if the United States had a
President Of the Kaiser's tempera-
ment this country would inevitably
be drawn into the vortex of war?
More than maps will be changed
by this conflict, and we ourselves
will be affected by it in respects
that are neither financial nor COM
mercial. New standards of states
manship will be established in this
country as the American people
contemplate the terrible results Of
personal government and imperial
istic ambitions abroad.
To the historian Of fifty years
hence the fact that Woodrow Will
son was President in this crisis may
seem no less providential than the
fact that Abraham Lincoln was
President when the very life of the
Union was hanging in the balance.

may NEED LEGAL
INTERPRETATION

Since the election there has been
considerable discussion, both in court.
before county commissioners and
among the public in general as to
what constitutes an invalid ballot.
In White Pine county there has been
great deal OF talk that hnudreds of
ballots will be thrown out because
the voter marked his preferences with
lead pencil, and in other counties
there promise to appear difficulties
OF similar nature. However, the
Nevada statutes seem to be pretty ex-
plicit on this and other points, so
that many of the proposed contests
may not materialize The following
which apparently covers number of
the points at issue, is excepted from
section rs. chapter 5, OF the Austria
liam ballot law Of the election laws
adopted by the legislature of 1913,
including the head notes, adopted as
part of the section;
"Kind Of Ballots To Be Counted
Kind Rejected
Section 26, In counting the bal
lots any ballot not bearing the water,
mark, as provided in this act, shall
not be counted, but such ballot must
be preserved and returned with the
other ballots. When a voter marks
more names than there are persons
to be elected to an office, his vote for
such office shall not be counted. Any
ballot upon which appears names,
words or marks, written or printed,
except as in this act provided, shall
not be counted Rut nothin:. i- this
act shall be construed as grounds for
the rejection or ballot where the
intention Of the voter Is clear and
where the marks on the ballot cannot
be definitely shown to be distinguish
Ing narksG characters or words"
By reference to section 1858 revis-
ed laws of Nevada, it will be seen
that the last sentence of section 26
was added by the Legislature of 1913

NOT GUILT, SAYS
MAY GREEN JURY

The trial of May Green, alias May
Slaughter, on an indictment for grand
larceny, resumed in the jury finding a
verdict of not guilty late Wednesday
night, after having been out about
three hours. The defendant was dis
charged from custody and the jurors
were finally excused, this being the
last case on the criminal calendar.
The defendant was represented in
the grand larceny case and also her
trial for jail breaking, which resulted
in an acquittal, by ]. M. Frame of
Reno, and r. Gilray.
Eight criminal cases were tried at
the term of court which ended
Wednesday night and lasted just
month. Four of the defendants were
convicted, three being sent to the pen
itentiary and one receiving county
jail sentence. Three of the defend
ants were acquitted, one on two
felony charges.
Two defendants pleaded guilty dur
ing the term and were sent to the
penitentiary.-Wi Winnemucca Star

ELECTION IN SPECIAL
MEETING

telegram was received yesterday
afternoon after press hour stating that
the supreme court had denied the an.
plication of A. G. Mcbride for writ
OF prohibition, which would restrain
the commissioners from recountine
the votes of the last election.
AT the last regular meeting of the
county commissioners Mr.. Booher ne
titioned under the law for recount,
having been defeated by Mcbride by
plurality of only three votes. The
latter then secured temporary re-
straining order from the supreme
court prohibiting the commissioners
from recounting the votes until the
case might be argued. On the 14th
Attorney E. A. Klein appeared before
the supreme court in behalf of Mr..
Mcbride and Attorney Carey Van
7 Fleet appeared for Mr. Booher and
the case was argued. Yesterday the
decision was rendered denying the ap-
plication and dissolving the tempo
rary order. The recount will now be.
gin next Monday.
Mr.. Booker stated today that so far
as he is concerned the recount will
finally end the matter. In case no
change is made by the recount he will
not contest the case in the courts

VOTING MACHINE DOPE

Harry Hoff, custodian of the vot-
ing machines, yesterday admitted to
the Butts committee, which is now
inquiring into the big Chicago con-
tract, that the vote machines could
be manipulated.
This was not the only important
testimony given yesterday. Lawrence
F. King, deputy clerk of the Circuit
Court, appeared with voting certifi-
Gates and statements of precinct
boards: Attorney Deneen, represent
ing the committee, said he would
show by this evidence that changes
were discovered on 107 of the 400
machines used in the general election
of 1912.
The name of John Condor was
found among those who incorporated
the Empire Voting Machine Co. This
is believed to be Blind John" Con-
don, former Chicago gambler.
