THE LIQUOR QUESTION

y The elections throughout thu
middle west Tuesday should make
the liquor interests sit up and TAKE
notice. in every state where the
question of saloons or no saloons
was sub nItted to, the people, there
was a steady gain of dry territory.
Cities and towns that scoffed at the
temperance people a few years ago
voted out the saloons.
That there is. a great Temperance
wave sweeping over the country
Is evident ven to the most casual
observer. So far it has not reach
ed Nevada but it is only the mat
ter of a fe " years before the voters
IF Nevada will be brought face to
face with the liquor question.
There is a strong sentiment among
the people at this time against the
present liquor law of the state
that only needs crystallizing at the
polls to put the saloon out of bust
ness.
Dur law makers seem to have
been blind to the conditions and
have permitted the laws governing
the liquor. traffic to remain lax and
Ineffective. Under those laws, sa-
looms have grown in number until
they can he found in nearly every
nouk and corner Of the state.
The license has been fixed at so
low a figure that a person with very
small means can open a saloon and
force himself upon the community.
This has resulted in a large in
crease in the number of saloons
without a corresponding increase
in state and county revenue.
If the saloon keepers Of Nevada
are wise to the present state of
public sentin ent on the question
that SO vitality affects them, they
should use their votes and influence
in the election of men to the next
Legislature who will enact a more
stringent liqutr law and one that
will prevent the abuses that have
grown up under the present law.
Unless something Is done along this
line at the next session of the legis.
%lature, an agitation for a probihi.
ltion amendment to the state con.
stitution will be begun that will
Eventually result in its adoption
This is no wild prediction, but one
based upon an awakened public
sentiment.

story told Mr.. Creel by the ]: dians
Pete McGill, an Indian living on
the reservation, went to Wendover
with several tribesmen last Deem
Der for a guod time. All became
more or less intoxicated, and in
driving home, on Dec. "a, McGill
fell out of the wagon while several
miles from Deep Creek. His alb
sence was unnoticed by the other
Indians and he lay in the snow un-
til a white man found him and
took him to camp. Both feet were
frozen and while one returned to
its normal condition the other grew
gradually worse. The nearest ply
stefan was 80 miles away at Ely,
Nevada, and when the pain became
unbearable the Indian sharpened
his knife and amputated his own
toes. The operation proved sue
cessful and the foot is he fling as
