Show Up Well In
Practice Game

Yesterday afternoon the first and
second mines of the prison baseball
players were brought up and played
"a practice game on the diamond on
which the real game is to take place
next Sunday. While there were no
brilliant plays made, the team show
ed careful training and care as to
their team work. The men are very
enthusiastic in their sport, and have
every expectation of taking the ba-
con back with them when the big
| game is over.
The Winnemucca team, however, is
saving a good deal of wood and per-
haps they may have something up
their sleeves when the day for the
trial of brain and Drawn comes off.
1t is certain, however, that they are
| going to have a game on their
I hands, and if they take home the
honors it will be after a struggle.

Grain Crop Ripe
Threshing Begins

The very busiest season of the
year is now on with the ranchers of
this vicinity. The grain crop is ripe
and cutting has begun. Today
Ernest Folsom put a new binder into
his field, and expects to have a bum
per crop of wheat.
The farmers about Dayton are also
busy with their grain and are look
ing about to find a thresher to han
die their crop.
In Eagle valley the acreage OF
grain this year, mostly wheat, is
much greater than it has been for
many years.
The small price received for hay
last year caused many of them to
pillow up the hay land and plant it
in grain and nearly every farmer in
this valley followed this course.
Wheat is bringing a good price, too.
the rate running from $50 to SIS pei
ton, according to quality.

New Gazette Go.
Files Its Attic eS

As foretold in the Appeal Of two
days ago the change in the manage
ment OF the Reno Gazette will have
the finishing touches put upon it this
afternoon when the articles of Hcor-
poration will be filed with the county
clerk of Washoe county, and later
with the secretary of state of this
city. The name of the new incor-
poration will be the Reno Evening
Gazette company, with a capital
stock of 100000, divided into lOO,-
600 shares of a par value Of ST each.
The subscribers and directors, who
are styled the governmental board
and serve for II year, are Graham
Sanford and Samuel Plat of Reno
and George Sanford of Carson City.
Graham Stanford is designated as
state resident agent in charge and
will have entire supervision of the
business.
The transfer of the Reno Gazette
to the new owners does not include
the Nevada Press, which no doubt
will continue to be run in connection
with the Gazette, out under separate
control and management. There will,
no doubt, be a few changes, but it is
almost certain that Dave Williamson,
the present managing editor and
one of the most able newspapermen
on the coast, will be retained, with
possibly increased powers and re-
sponsibilities.

continuance in his judicial office, shall

Notwithstanding this, James A.
|O'Gorman, while yet a justice of the
Supreme court of New York, was.
in March, 1911, elected to the United
States senate, which position he still
holds.
McCrary, in his work on Elections,
4th edition, sec. 322, says:
"The qualifications for Federal Of
fees are fixed by the Federal Con-
stitution or Federal Low, and the
qualifications for state offices are
fixed by state constitutions or state
laws. 1t is not competent for any
state to add to Or in any manner
change the qualifications for a Fed
J eral office. as prescribed by the Con-
stitution or laws of the United States.
Nor can the United States add to or
alter the qualifications for a state CT
flee, as fixed by state regulations
The principle involved in all these
cases, and upheld by the authorities,
is that which we find expressly de-
clared to be the spirit and intent IN
the minds of the trainers of our Con-
stitution, to-wit, that where the SUI
preme organic law-the Constitution
of the United States-fiXes the quail
ifications of federal officers and the
election thereof, no subordinate
authority can add to or take from
those qualifications. This principle
was settled by the Supreme court OF
the United States in the case Of Wiley
versus Sink1er, 179 y. S. So, and
| again in the case of ex-parte Var
brough, 10 u. S. 651, and by the
| Supreme court of the state OF Nevada
in the case or State versus Findley,
10 New. T9S, and State versus Exam
liners, Fl New. 81.
| 1t therefore becomes manifest that
there is neither legal nor moral reas-
on why a justice of the Supreme
court or a Judge of the District court
may not be eleSted to either house OF
congress.

TURNING MEN INTO LAND OWNERS

In the % states which produce most
of the perishable products, the grain,
and the cotton Of America, there are
100000 tenant farmers.
In the last 10 years in both Texas
and Oklahoma the percentage OF in
crease in tenant farmers over the in
crease in land owning farmers has
been two to one In the states Of Ala
bama. Arkansas, Tennessee. Georgia,
Louisiana, Texas. Mississippi. South
Carolina, North Carolina, Missouri,
Kentucky. Indiana, Nebraska, Michi-
gan. Wisconsin, Minnesota and Cali
fornia. there has been an actual in
crease since 1880 of 994361 tenants,
while home owning farmers have in
creased but 606,755.
In the states of Illinois, Iowa. Kan
sas, New York. Ohio and Pennsylya-
MIA tenant farmers have increased by
f2l,167. while the number Of home
owning farmers has actually decreas-
ed by 62,915.
The figures are alarming, and pre-
sent grave problem when we con-
slider that out of the 2,354,676 tenant
farmers in the United States in 1910.
2.1sS,5S6 were found in the % richest
states. The last federal census shows
that the percentage of tenant farmers
had increased from 25.6 In 1880 to 81
per cent. In the light of this informa-
ton. absentee Iandlordism appears as
a menacing problem Of nationwide
significance. How to make 1t possible
for the renter to acquire and pay out
the farms of the country must surely
become a matter for the consideration
of statesmen; for it is question which
cannot be determined without the aid
Of legislation. How immediate is the
need of legislation the tenant farm
ers know. What complications arise
are often felt by the whole people.

In majority Of cases, the tenant
farmer is the leftover man of prog
ress. His business ability and his in
telligence are not so great as that of
his more prosperous neighbor who
owns a farm But his lesser capital
and inferior borrowing power are
greater hindranees.
The tenant OF the south lives in an
implanted, unsantary. miserable
shack Poverty and usury force him
to sad and soggy existence. His lit
tie children are doomed to the fields
with little hope Of the future. The
whole family tolls; and when the year
is over they survey their hopeless sit
uation, load their goods into covered
wagon, tie the COW TO the hack Of the
wagon and drive TO another country to
try again. And who can blame them ?
The family has lived through the year
on less than $40 apiece
This great mass of shifting ten
antry constitutes menace to agricul-
tural prosperity and a chief hindrance
to the adequate distribution of farm
products. No device has yet been
found equal to organizing them for the
business-like marketing of their prod
ucts-that is the device which will
keep them organized
The conference, Nov. %. Dec. will
have done great work If the workers
only thresh out that one question--how
to turn landless men into land own
ers.

What TO do for our landless farm
ers has become most perplexing ma
tionai problem. Everybody seems
agreed that they should be turned in
to home owners. Everybody seems
agreed, also. that absentee landlordism
and its attendant evils, should be
purged from American life. But when
it come TO the How" and when we
must choose as TO what means are to
be adopted, confusion results. and
thousand tongues are heard in the
land.
Yet the American nation must fix
upon some policy: for the time-worn
custom of considering this matter
personal problem for the individual
farmer has failed
Land ownership has rapidly moved
toward concentration; absentee land
lordism has sprung up, and a rest
less. floating landiess class is wan
dering about over vast areas Of farm
ing country, shifting their homes from
