Must Support Family

Mike Kukich probably comes from
country where a mans family is
not responsibility, but he now un-
derstands that this won't go in Ne
vada, if the wife or children resort
to the law. Mrs. Kukich complained
to the authorities at Mason that her
husband was not producing any
iitneys in behalf of herself and child
rem, aud forthwith Kukich was hailed
into the justice court, and the evil
dence being against him, was sen
fenced to sixty days in Jail. Kukich
can now root hog or go to jail, as the
court will allow him his liberty for
the purpose of getting means to sup
port family. Good work. Why
not more of it?-Mason Valley News.

A Birthday Party.

The little railroad station of Thorne
was the scene of an unusual event on
Friday, the l7th inst, being the
occasion of the birthday of Mrs. Jos.
Derig 1t was honored by a birth
day party rendered by 4 thoughtful
resident, Mrs. Riley Gilkey, the
postmaster's estimable wife. Every
resident, permanent and transient,
was cordially invited and it is need
less to say that all were glad to com
memorate the event of so popular
and genial a person.
Mrs. Derig has endeared herself
to residents, prospectors and travel
ing public, and the event though q
surprise to the recipient, was hearth
ly endorsed by the guests. A huge
cake made by Mrs Gilkey decorated
the table center. 1t was Illuminated
with tiny candles, whilst the profu-
sion of flowers made the scene en-
chanting.

Politics and Peace

Ed. BULLETIN; TO many of us the
political peace organization, the IN.
itlal convention of which was recent
~ staged at Chicago, is source of
much speculation and not little
alarm. II it were national peace
formation, the world would wag along
as usual, bnt the announcement that
1t is political union reminds us that
eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty. A casual observation, togeth-
CT with digest of the speeches, at
once conVinces us that the move
ment is anti American and should
rouse TO action the most Indifferent
citizen of the United States. The
clamor for cessation of shipments
OF ammunition to the Allies, coupled
with the threat of disloyalty in the
event of war between this country
and Germany, stamps every member
of that organization traitor to his
country. 1t is not surprising to find
representative Vollimer a prominent
figure at this new convention. ANY
prolfered opportunity to have
whack at the Democratic administra-
,ion is quickly availed of by this dis
gruntled politician.
The underhand activities OF those
in opposition to the expectation of
war supplies, since the exchange of
diplomatic notes with Germany, is So
palpably clear, but fortunately futile.
that every legal citizen should look
with disfavor on the establishment of
u brarch organization in Nevada of
this doubtful combine.
Expectation of arms AMI munitions
of war is in line with neutrality and
therefore legitimate business.
Consequently it is not difficult to
imagine why the persistent efforts of
certain agitators are up in arms
against the practice.
These anti-Americans, Mr. Elitor,
should be handled with gloves.
