TOM DONAHUE KILLED.

Tom Donahuc was killed Satur-
day afternoon by Southern Pacific

at the iron mine west of Palisadp.

went to CarliD, where they filed
up on booze, and boarded an east

Harris and Charles Mitchell in an
automobile, aud Sheriff Harris no

CELL MORE EFFECTUAL
Than MILLION DOLLAR FINE.

Only few shareholders in any
big company can know what is go
ing on inside. rhe few who do
know are morally responsible for
its management. When such a com-
pany is deliberately led into false
position, where it suffers a heavy
loss, 1t seems unfair to punish the
many for the guilt of the few.
We're guilt made personal and
not corporate, whatever penalty
the law could inflict would fall up
on those individuals who had done
the wrong and who had profited
most by it, but not upon all innn-
cent shareholders.
An army cannot know where its
general leads, but the general
knows; no more can the 10000
small stockholders know where
their officers lead but the officers
know. If officers had known that
thev we're personally and not their
company as a whole would suffer
through questionable acts, nearly
every one of the numerous cases of
the past ten wears where corpora
tions have been assaiIed would have
been avoided.
Individual gains for few and
not wholesale gains for the many
has been mainly responsible for
the glaring faults Of some big COM
panies. Every consideration Of
logic and justice therefore demands
that those who do the wrong
shall suffer for it.
Collecting damages frcm the
owner of an automobile is not half
so good a deterrent of reckless
driving as sending the driver to
jail. A yawning cell would do
more to prevent the president Of a
company from deliberately going
wrong than would the fear of ST.

THE SPANKLESS CHILD

One day last week the six-year-
old scion of wealthy and respect
ed New Jersey family stabbed his
nurse in the abdomen. The parents
and family doctor express regrets.
1t was, they say, merely an act of
petulance. The girl has a private
room at the hospital, ard plenty
of flowers. She may recover, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Off
hand, and without any init rate
knowledge nf the case, it may be
assumed that the precocious stab
bing is one IF the ultra modern
brand of babies. He is, probably,
one of those who are allowed ito
develop their own individuality"
He has developed, it may be assum-
ed, with considerable rapidity. His
nurse had put him to bed and when
he pattered into the Kitchen she
ordered him out. The stab from
the handy butcher knife vas the
result Of her temerity. She was,
doubtless, culpabIe in having issued
any order at all. Orders tend to
check the development of indiyid-
uality. This specific young gentle
man was not not to oe checked.
He developed his individuality then
and there by attempting to inflict
capital punishment on the one who
stood in his light.
Oh, for thousand good spank
ings! The six-year-old marvel of
New Jersey should receive one of
thenl-perhaps in vigorous Install
ments. And many other peevish
and uncomfortable products of the
ultra philosophical-psychological
school of child rearing should have
few for their souls sake. In the
bad old days, when children we're
not allowed to develop their own
individuality, nurses were not stab
he'd. Children did not shrek at the
mothers and make life misery for
the community. There were bad
boys and girls then as now; but
the bad ones were not scientifically
encouraged to develop their individ-
ual tendencies. They we're reprcss-
cd and not few Of them were
nodded into passably useful citizen.
ship.
Nowadays, the mother who
spanks is old fashioned and rather
looked down upon by the advanced
thinkers. II seems that children
have q perfect right to be bad,
if such is their inclination, and the
stabbing of nurse is merely a
negligible incident, an exhibition
Of Childish petulance."

pAS MADE A RECORD

What has Woodrow Wilson done
in his first year as president? Most
of his fellow citizens have an idea
Of the correct answer. But the
Washington Herald teaches us to
look deeper. On the negative side
it is to be said that he has not lost
the modcsty that characterized
him when he assumed the office,
that he has not much opportunity
for exercise or reading newspapers,
and that he has not called anybody
ugly names. But he has gained in
weight. retained good appetite,

We WANTED TO KNOW

AS We are on Treasurer Miller's
hond for quite healthy amount,
we called on him this forenoon for
the purpose of finding out what he
had done with the second Install
ment of taxes that Controller Egg
gers says he has not settled in full.
AS there is very near 100000 that
does not show up in the Controll-
cr's report we naturally felt somp-
what anxious as bondsm6n. Or
fears were dispclled, however. when
Mr.. Miller dug up the receipt OF
State Treasurer Mcmillan for the
very money that the controller
says he has not settled in full. He
also showed US that the only dis.
pute between him and the con-
troller was S69.30, the amount of
expense incurred by sending the
assessment rolls to Carson last fall
on the order Of the state tax COM
mission and the extra help iii col
lccting taxes. caused by the delay
of the state tax commission in re-
turning the books to the auditor
for the extension of the taxes.
This petty matter has been ex.
planned so often that it is hardly
worthy of even this notice.
The controllers report on page 9
in table (B) how the gross collec-
tion of state revenue, collected in
Elko county for 1913 rs per audi
tors statement, to be $l24,8l7.74
and the amount of net cash paid
into the state treasury for the
year to be $50,59a.42, difference
Of $7d,223.32. One would natur-
ally think from the controllers re-
port that Treasurer Miller was
withholding that amount from the
state.
Now let us see on what q flimsy
basis such an opinion would rest.
For this we have but to turn TO the
report Of the state treasurer for
1918. On page 10, Exhibit G,
showing county settlements in
1918, Elko county is credited with
$l22.ddS.35 instead Of the $780,
59d.42. shown by the controllers s
rcpnrt, q difference Of $71 ,851 .93
in the statements Of the two OIL
GERS.
The controller in his report does
not give Elko county the standing
IL should have. Admitting that he
is right in his dispute with Treas-
uror Miller, he could have stated
in his reD0rt that the county had
settled in full with the exception Of
$60.30 which was in dispute be-
tween his Office and the Office of
Elko coun'y's treasurer. This would
have hccn a fair statement Of the
matter and would have done no
injustice to tho county nGr ia
Treasurer Miller.

 There would be little room for Jesus were He to come and ask to join in with the amusements of the day He who alone held the secret of the happy, joyous life would be an outcast in the giddy whirl of our dopefiend-like pursuit of pleasure.
