Unusual to See a Little Life
Appraised So Highly

II would seem that the people are more
stirred by the death of a mal-formed, de-
festiye baby in the United States than
by the deaths of 100000 of men in
one year of the European war
The first involves, to their minds, a
principle THAT of preserving life for
good or ilD which has been for genera
tons bred in their bones. Yet capital
punishment is allowed to exist in many
states, even though some of its victims
are never proven guilty, beyond doubt,
and may be as innocent as the unfortu-
nate babe.
As for war, they are convinced that
the wholesale slaughter of men by the
most inhuman means, is thing to be
expected; part of. the program of life and
even has a splendid, glorious side, no
matter what the cause of the war may
be.
The American people can also view
with equanimity the industrial conditions
of their country which allow hundreds or
thousands of people to die annually from
insufficient food, bad housing and the
numerous unsanitary surroundings
which come from poverty.
They accept with more or less COM
placency the running of hundreds of their
youth through resorts of vice, run solely
Tor commercial profits; the absolute de-
struction of thousands of their men
through drink; the oppression of woman
by withholding from her a voice in the
government and giving to her lower
wages and longer hours for the same
work as men, equally well performed.
They endure without protest, the
squeezing of the life blood of the masses
through exorbitant taxation brought
about by inefficient management and
graft by public officials; all these things
fail to stir them.
But let one poor, human mite be al
lowed to die for its own good, and the
American conscience is aroused. Our
duty toward man and God becomes &C
lively charged with some sort of emo
ton hard to describe.
The thousands of babes that have died
in Europe have failed to impress us. The
hungry children here do not disturb us
much; but doctor and mother standing
quiescent while the spark of life goes out
Of defective, newborn child, seems to
be picture too poignant for the Amer
lean imagination to pass over.
Can any one tell US just where the di-
viding in this curious American con-
science begins; whittier it is tending and
where it viii end?

RRlTSH FIRE NEAR WASHOE
CITY ENDANGERS RANCHES.

A brush fire which has been
spreading on the hills and in the val
ley near Washoe City threatens to
destroy several ranches and the build
ings of the Commonwealth mine. 1t
is also headed toward Reno along the
foothills. A large company of men
left Reno to fight it.
The fire started in the foothills
about two miles from Washoe City
and spread rapidly. burning the dry
bush, and for a time the Callahan
ranch was in imminent danger.
Farmers in the valley ~telephoned
to the office of Sheriff Ferrel and
forest rangers AT Truckee were noti-
fled and rushed to the scene. These
men under direction of United States
Forest Ranger Wilson soon had the
fire apparently under control and,
after instructing a number of yolun-
teeers to watch the place, left for
Reno.
A strong wind eome up, famed the
Goals and the fire took a different
course down the valley. 1t is spread
ing rapidly toward Washoe City and
the Virginia and Truekee railroad
tracks.
The fire was spreading so rapidly,
aided by the increasing wind, that the
farmers in the vicinity t~elephoned TO
Reno for volunteers to fight the
flames and these were sent.

RABIES ARE DISCUSSED

1.-The whole globe is infected more
or less, but England, Australia, New
Zealand and one II two other coun-
tries have wiped it out by strict laws.
England passed laws in 1890 for
muzzling all dogs imported. The
rate of cases fell Immediately, but a
great deal of complaint went up over
the hardship it put on the dogs. The
law was repealed and the rate went
up. as many as 400 cases a year

re-enacted and rigidly enforced, so

NYE COUNTY LIVESTOCK
KILLED BY MOUNTAIN LIONS.

Judge j. A. Sanders, district attor-
ney of Nye county, while in Carson
City recently, presented a petition TO
the state board of stock commission
ers .singned by fifty of the most prom
inent business, stock and ranchmen
of Nye county. petitioning the board
to make an appropriation out of any
fund that may be available for the
determination of mountain lions that
have become so numerous in the
counties of Nye and Esmeralda that
a large number of horses and cattle
are being destroyed. They say that
the bounty as provided for by law Is
too small to justify any person In de-
voting their time and attention to
the killing off of the animals, n
they ask for a sum that would IN
crease the bounty to such an extent
as would justify persons in making a
business of it.-Carson Appeal.

GRAND JURY INDICATES
SPARKS POSTMASTER

The charge of embezzlement pre-
ferred against John p. Reynolds,
postmaster at Sparks. by a ~postoffice
inspector several months ago, which
was followed by Reynolds Temporal
nv removal from office pending in
vestigation. was ignored by the fed
eral grand jury Tuesday afternoon.
This was done upon the recommends
ton of United States District Attor-
ney Woodburn. who reported that
the alleged ENLIGHTENMENT was pure
" technical and involved nothing
more serious than bad bookkeeping.
REYNOLDS was removed from office
in the early summer and Immediate
" demanded an investigation by the
postoffice department. This was
made several weeks ago and the re-
port of the auditor detailed by the
government tt examine into the mat
ter showed that the p~ostoffiee de-
partment owed Reynolds about $500.
In keeping his office records Rey-
nolds had overpaid the government
largely In several of the funds and
had made independents in the pos
raj fund. 1t was for this underpay-
ment that the inspector removed
him.
Much interest was taken in the
case on account of the prominence of
Reynolds, who mas lived for many
years at Sparks. where he has borne
a high reputation for his honesty
and excellent habits.-Reno Gazette.

FEDERAL BIRD LAW To
BIZ ENFORCED IN NEVADA

Circulars signed by Ralph Benton,
district Inspector for Nevada under
the federal migratory bird law. have
been sem out calling the attention
of Nevadans to the provisions of the
federal law relative to shooting wa
terfowl in this state and asking CO.
operation.
The notices sent by Benton indi-
| cate that il is the intention of the
| government to try and enforce the
| provisions of the law. which estah-
fishes the open season for ducks IN
| this state from October | to January
Is. says the Reno Gazette.
Several weeks before the hunting
season opened under the state law
which fixes September ID as the
opening date for waterfowl, Justice
MeCarran of the supreme court re-
ceiyed a telegram from Washington
officials saying the department of
! agriculture. which has supervision
under the federal law, intended to
make no effort to enforce the federal
law until the supreme court had de-
cided the Arkansas case. The deci-
sion of the Arkansas judge held the
federal law unconstitutional.
Benton was in Nevada several
weeks last spring while the legisla-
tnre was i'm session and when he left
said the federal law would be chang
ed to conform to the state law. pro-
yided the latter was so drawn as to
prevent spring shooting.
An extract from the circulars be-
ing distributed by Benton reads:
1.-The United States department OF
agriculture is warning sportsmen
that the federal regulations for
shooting wild fowl as amended Octo-
Der /, 1914. will be strictly enforced
Some misunderstanding has arisen
from the fact that the various state
laws do not conform To the federal
regulations This is regarded as I'M
fortunate. but in such cases the de.
partment must insist upon the oh
servanee of the federal regulations
The department will consider any
recommendations submitted In goot

tions. but will hold no public hear
ings thereon. nor will 1t amend tbs
regulations prior to October 10

Limitation of Working Hours.

1t should interest those legislators who
have been voting to impose long working
hours on women and children, to observe
how great corporation, run on an efficient
basis, yet with decency and humanity, han
dies that problem. The Western Union Tel
egraph Company has just announced that
in all its large offices an eight-hour day
for women employees is to take the place
Of nine-hour day. Women who work at
night work only seven or seven and one
half hours.
Intelligent employers know from ex-
perience that the over-long working period
not only harms the employee but the per.
son who pays the wages. Especially is
that true where the task is connected
with machinery or falls into a dulling
routine. Work suffers as the workers
powers deteriorate. Limitation Of working
hours is not alone humanitarian project
1t is sound business sense as well. On
both counts it should be, and is, favored by
right-minded employers of labor.
