The following editorial, applicable to Nevada IS well as California
One of the axe running its hysterca1 course through the state
OF California at present is that for the abolition of capital punishment
The fearful Abrahams and weeping Rebekahs, the Long-Haired
Brotherhood and the Sob Sisterhood of the state are camormg 1t IS a
crime for the commonwealth to kill a man-that society is responsible
for every murder and not the mar who commits murder
These neurohc mishts OF humanuanans should read a certain por-
ton of Mark Twains inimtab1e Tom Sawyer"
This funeral stopped the further growth OF III thing-the petition
the governor for InUun Joes pardon. The petition had been largely
signed many fearful and eloquent meetings had been held, and a com
mHtee of sappy women been appointed to G o in deep mourning and wall
around the governor, and implore him to be a mercfu1 ass and trample
his duty under foot
Indian Joe was believed to have killed FIVE citizens OF the village,
but what of that? II he had been Sa;an himself. there would have been
plenty Of weaklngs ready to scrhble their names to a pardon petition,
and drip a ear On it from their permanently impaired and leaky water
works"
These sympathetic souls-ever weeping for the murderer and not
for the murdered-declare the death penalty is founded on vengeance.
1t is well for these people to consider these words from the great
jurst, Daniel Webster:
The criminal law is not founded on a principle OF vengeance. 1t
does not punish that it may inhict suffering. The humanity OF. law feels
and regrets every pain it causes, every hour OF restraint it imposes, and
more deeply still every life it forfeis. 1t seeks to deter from crime
by the example of punishment y
1T restraints the liberty Of the few offenders, tit the many who do
not offend may enjoy their own liberty. 1t fornits the life of the
murderer, that other murders may not be committed.
When the guilty therefore, are not punished the Ia so far fails OF
its purpose; the safety of the innocent is so far endangered"

SAVING THE NATION FROM PERDITION

in m v state the president is winning popular favor every day. |
do nt mean SC much that the Democratic party is, but Wilson. the
TAI is, and the people OF Maine apparently have the greatest confidence
in his ability to guide the country through this worldwide turmoil, and
think the sentiment in Maine is typical of that throughout the country.
There IA be n doubt that the people of the United States are be-
hind President Wilson in his Mexican policy and in his efforts to keep
this country from becoming embroied in the European war.
President Wilson is handling the situation in a most admirable
manner and the confidence OF tie people is reposed in him. Daily
hundreds of thousands of Americans send up prayers of thankfuness
that We have a ma like Wilson in the presidents chair rather than a
m like Roosevelt.
Wilson will undoubtedly be nominated by the Democrats The
issues OF the next campaign will be the policies of the present Demo-
cratic administration OF which President Wilson is the major part. To
nominate any other a would be like producing Hamlet with Hamlet
left out. And in my opinion President Wilson will be reelected"

There is no reason why Carson City should be known abroad merely
as the capital OF Nevada. Close to a immensely rich agricultural dis
tnct it is entitled to become n of the most energetic and prosperous

for numerous farmers who could easily obtain lands that would insure
them abundant crops.
Here is n section of the state that will be greatly responsible Tor
Nevadas prosperity in the years to come. These things should be
known all over the country and a good boosting club in Carson to act
in conjunction with the Reno Commercial Club organization could easily
accomplish this. With a little effort, well directed, Carson should BE

relapse and was taken back to the
hospital, where two operations of

futile effort to save her life. Last We'd
