1t was real love with Anita. The
picture OF the strong resolute-faced
hero was constantly before her mind,s
vision. His deeds had glorified him in
her estimation. Then a few days later
there came shock that prostrated
her.
A woman, bold, vicious, determined.
came to the house one day. She asked
for Clyde -Merriel Her manner dis
turbed Anita and she demanded to
know her business with him.
HE is my husband" was the grim
reply, and the woman produced
marriage certificate evidencing a mar
riage between Clyde Merriel and Eva
Lind, two years previous.
Weary days followed, then illness.
Anita was heartbroken. She shut her
self in her room and would see no.
body but Mary Deane. When Clyde
Merriel left the hospital and returned
to his friends, there was a meeting
with Mr.. Warden, an offer of an un.
limited reward, which was proudly re-
fused, and Clyde did not see Anita.
She dared not trust herself in the
presence of the man she loved.
And Clyde-all that had inspired
his intrepidity and sacrifice had been
thought of the unspoken promise in
the eyes of Anita Warden when he
had started out on his perilous jour
ney.
On his return trip from Alaska,
Clyde had come across a rich mining
claim He had sold it for liberal
sum. He was able to care for his
friends now They told him of the
visit of woman, Eva Lind, during
his absence. 1t set him to thinking
She had indicated her address in an
other city. Thither he went and
found her.
''You are Eva Lind" he said, "and
I am Clyde Merriel."
"You?" cried the woman. mo!
Clyde Merriel is my husband"
'You mistake" declared Clyde. 'T
will tell you story"
1t was brief He who had ever sac
rified himself for others, had learned
that a reckless friend had married
under his name. The friend had soon

GIVE THE STATE ITS LANDS

Hon. John F. Shafroth, of Colorado,
in a speech before the United States
Senate on a bill providing for the leas-
ing of public lands, makes telling
points against the measure. He holds
that the leasing system establishes the
principle of perpetual ownership in a
federal government. Senator Shafroth
is right in his contention that this is
destructive to the development of d
state.
The federal government is amply
provided, or should be amply provided
with funds for all its necessities
through the complicated system of in
direct taxation, as well as direct taA-
alton, which it imposes on imposts and
internal revenues alone. This govern
ment is different frora that of any 9th
err on the globe, inaslnuch as it is a
union of separate and distinct govern
ments, just as a holding company
makes a homogeneous entity of a eollee-
ton of separate corporations.
Nevada would suffer more, probably,
than any other state under the leasing
system If it were 10 be extended, as is
the intent of house resolution 1925,
discussed by Senator Shafroth in the
upper body. Every state except Ne
yada has benefited by the ~paternalism
of the government. Inasmuch as 1t
lacks harbors and n%avigable streams,
it has had no appropriations for their
Improvement. 1t is true that some mil
lions of dollars have been spent in the
reclamation of the lands of Churchill
county. but it must also be remembered
that this was not a gift to the people
of the state, as is the case in the ap-
preparations made through the rivers
and harbors bills, but is distinctly ex-
pressed in the act as being a loan,
which must be repaid by the settlers.
There is no necessity for the exist
ence OF federal lands in this state,
lands that are leased for grazing or
mining purposes, tut the entire acre
age should be decided by the federal TO
the state government, in order that the
latter might have sovereignty over its
own territory and dispose Of it as it
sees fit. Surely nothing could be more
reasonable and if such action is taken
at Washington, the long neglect of the
%battleborn state win he freely forgiv-
en.-Bonanza.

HARD ROW FOR WOODROW

The veto by President Wilson of the
immigration bill was sustained by the
House Of Representatives, by a vote
of pol to 1876. Five more affirmative
votes would have furnished the neces
sary %two-thirds to override the veto.
The vote is a hopeful. sign, for here
tofore the President has had the large
Democratic majority in Congress at his
beck and call, no matter how imprac-
teal and visionary ms ideas. But it
seems that a number of Democrats in
both houses have regained their senses
as well as their independence.
A notable instance of this fact is the
hard time the President s pet ship pur
chase bill is having in the Senate.
While sufficient pressure will no doubt
be brought to bear TO pass this objec
tionable measure, the fact that seven
Democratic senators have come out
ha~t-footed against it, is an indication
that Mr.. Wilson Is losing his grip in
the Senate as well as in the House.
