 FLARING PANTS"

1Correspondence of Associated Press.1
 The Tague. Oct s.-To other as- sertions that the French soldier is not particularly thankful for having to wear red pants and blue coats. when his adversary is clothed in a uniform which in Europe's landscape of gray green is next to invisible, the corre- spondent of the Roman newspaper Messageros makes a slight and humor- ous contrtbution:
 excelIent,' he wrote .'In spite of the hardships they have to endure the French soldiers are in good humor, expressing this now and then in rather boisterous fashion Their fru- gality is marvellous. Getting a cigar cite is, a big event with; them. But they are not pleased with their red pants, which in times Of peace they would not do without for anything.

 Tn his dispatch the correspondent points out that the German mIedical service is far superior to the French who, as he alleges, lack even some of the necessary surgical instruments and needed housing for the wounded. The effects of the German artillery fire are characterized by the corre- spondent as sindescrtbably terrible

It IS TIME TO CALL i HALT

Most of the newspapers of the
state r cIamoring for a house
cleaning at Carson. In the various
state Offices it is asserted that
nepotism is rampant and that the
public treasury is being MIXED to
a fare-you-well for the benefit of q
few persons who lord it over their
peers. Apparently this is NO idle
dream, because facts and figures
have been brought forth to prove
that such a condition of affairs
exists.
There is n remedy for the evil
that %confrontS the people of the
state, and that is to elect reliable,
responsible and honest property
owners to the next legislature, and
not carpet-bsggers from Colorado
and other nearby commonwealth;

that it is not fair to make him re-

for some time e~ndeavoring to
strengthens the rural schools by q
