A WELL-DEFINED ISSUE

The Chicago Tribune's special cor
respondent, e. G. Hill, who followed
Candidate Hughes in his campaign of
the middle west, reported his Mil
waukee speech in the columns of the
Tribune as follows:
Throughout Mr.. Hughes address
the applause, filed to hairtrigger
speed, exploded constantly like gun
volleys. The first burst of applause
came when he said in the principal
city of the state of La Toilette that
the La Toilette shipping bill must be
repealed; that next, when he said
that the Underwood tariff must be re-
placed by protective tariff; the
third, when he declared that the
whole Democratic legislative accom-
plishment must be wiped off the
books for the good Of the country"
At last we have a clear and we'll
cut issue. All who favor the repeal
of the La Follettee shipping bill, all
who favor the repeal of the Under
wood tariff, all who favor the repeal
Of the Federal Reserve law, the Rural
Credits law, the Income Tax law, the
Agricultural Extension act, the Child
Labor law, and the other labor legis-
lation of the Wilson administration,
the Alaskan Railway bill and the 9TH
er progressive and conservative legis-
lation of the Wilson administration
should vote for Mr.. Hughes. Those
who do not favor the wiping out of
the whole Democratic legislative &C.
complishments should vote for Pres
ident Wilson.

SECTIONALISM IN THIS CAM
PAIGN

About the most un-American thing
done since Wilson became president
is the Juggling into this campaign Of
the forced issue of sectionalism. 1t
is regretted by all Americans who be-
lieve that true Americanism consists
as much in being loyal to all Of our
own country as in presenting a brist-
ling front to foreign nations.
From two high sources, one from
New England and one from the Gulf
States, come simultaneously strong
protests against the attempt to make
sectionalism an issue.
Harry A. Garfield, President of
Williams College, and son of a man
who fought for the Union and later
was its president until shot down by
an assassin, in signed interview
says:
"The attempt to rekindle old fires
of hatred between the North and the
South is reprehensible in the extreme.
The South today is not the South of
1861. Any attempt to confuse the
old and the new South is due to ig-
norance or deliberate attempt to
befog the minds of the voters"
Asserting that Southern represen-
tatives are no more active and nc
more blameworthy for seeking special
favors for their districts than North
ern men doing the same thing, and
that it is also Republican failing
and has been a cardinal vice of the
dominating party since the very first
congress, Mr.. Garfield says:
"The real question before the vot-
er is whether the great problems OF
the day, international as well as nat.
ional, will be more wisely handled
by continuing Mr.. Wilson and his par.
ty in power, or by turning the govern.
ment over to Mr.. Hughes and his sup
porters. The records of the past
eight years, not fifty years, are sig
nificant."

100 YEARS OLD

With the remarkable record Of
having established over hundred
and twenty thousand Sunday schools
throughout the country, with half
million teachers and five million
scholars, the American Sunday
School Union is now preparing to
celebrate its one hundredth anniver-
sary. The Society has issued an in
teresting pamphlet concerning its
history and work and also leafiet
entitled Sunday School Pioneering
in Rural America" The latter re-
lates some of the amazing expert
ences of the society's missionaries in
the wild or undeveloped sections of
the country. Both Of these pamph-
let's will be gladly mailed upon re-
quest to all who are interested in
knowing more about this unique or
ganization which stands alone and
unequalled in community develop
ment work in rural America. The
headquarters of the society are al

tinguished from sectionalism is very

thoroughly known, and, who evoked
much criticism from some quarters
when as minority leader in the lower
house of congress he repeatedly broke
the rules of seniority in order to give
Northern and Western men places on
important committees, says:
There is no ground for this charge
of sectionalism either against
President Wilson or against the
Democratic congress. Two vacan-
cies caused by the deaths of
Southern men have occurred in the
supreme court and neither successor
was appointed from the South. Nor
did the President appoint any mem
Der from the South on the Farm Loan
board, although the South is peculiar
lily interested in farm loans.
Neither in the House or in the
Senate do the Southern members con-
troll single committee. The chair
manships they received under the
Republican rule and custom of senior
| ity. This rule has been broken only
in favor of Northern and Western
men. The elected speaker of the
House is a Westerner and the elected
Senate leader middle Westerner
Also on tn caucus elected or assigned
committees, the Ways and Means in
the House the Steering Committee in
the Senate, the South does not con-
troll.
1.-THE South is not sectional" said
Senator Williams. ASK any Union
veteran who has been to the Vicks-
burg National cemetery to dedicate
monuments. Ask any Union veteran
living now in the South, and march
ing Memorial day with the Confeder-
ate veterans to decorate the graves Of
both the blue and the gray. Some Of
them are actually honorary members
of Confederate camps.
There is great deal more sec
tionalism in making this charge than
there is evidence to support it. 1t is
not supported by a single instance Of
a law passed or an executive order
made"

WIRELESS AT X. s. A. @.

The Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege is now prepared to receive wire
less messages from all parts of the
country. Weather and time reports
are received daily from Arlington,
Va. The messages are taken there
at 10 o'clock in the morning and at
eight at night. They travel at the
rate of $4,000 miles a second, maxi
ing it possible to receive them al
most instantaneously. Messages are
received from the Panama Canal
Zone, the United States naval train
ing station at Great Lakes, ILL.,, and
from New Orleans.

Daily weather forecasts sent out
from the college are of real value.
Wireless stations in several Kansas
towns receive the forecast several
hours in advance of the copy sent by
mail.
The station is operated by the
physics and military departments.
The military department has a secret
code for use in time of war. Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, classes are
held in which wireless is taught. Stu
dents receive their training under &
commercial operator licensed by the
government.

THE CHILD LABOR LAW

Chairman Wilcox of the Republi-
can national campaign committee
says that the Child Labor Law recent
ly passed by the Wilson administra-
ton has Joker in 1t which renders
it of no service and a fraudulent bill.
Candidate Hughes himself has said
that the children of the nation have
not been emancipated by this law and
repeatedly has sought to belittle and
discredit it.
However, owen R. Lovejoy, gen.
eral secretary of the National Child
Labor Committee, in published let
ter emphatically protests against
such criticisms and says that the bill
was carefully drawn and thorough
ly considered. It was not damned
through congress, but had been pend
ing for three years. Both Democrats
and Republicans were well represent
ed on the Senate committe that con-
sidered 1t in final form and both DEM
ocrats and Republicans stood solidly
for it in this form. Only two Repub-
licans, Oliver and Penrose, voted
against It, The thirty-day clause was
necessary because without 1t manu-
facturer who once employed child la
Dor would be disbarred forever from
interstate commerce. He concludes
his letter thus:
1.-THE Federal Child Labor Law was
framed by the best constitutional
lawyers in the country; 1t was passed
by a Congress that had given it close
attention"
Senator Albert B. Cummings, Re-
publican of Iowa, asserted that the
allegation of there being joker in
this law was without any foundation
and stigmatized persons making such
allegations as "either insincere or in
competent" He states unreservedly
that the Child Labor Law is certain
to "effectuate the humane purposes
towards which the friends of Child
Labor Legislation have for a long
time been striving" Senator Cum
mings has long been an ardent advo-
cate of Child Labor legislation.
The Chicago Herald, an independ-
ent paper, commenting on this law,
said the statement of the National
Child Labor Committee carried more
conviction than the picking of flaw
during campaign time. That this
committee was responsible for the
law and assured the public that the
law was not jammed through Con-
gress and was framed by good con-
stitutional lawyers and considered
carefully for three years before pas
sage.
These non-political, Republican,
and independent statements most eff
fectually dispose of any campaign
claim that the Child Labor Law was
not wisely, honestly and thoroughly
drawn and passed.

Sugar Beet Seed Scarce

That it will be impossible to Sc
cure seed to plant a sufficient guam
tity of sugar beets to keep the Ne
vada sugar beet factory at Falloll
in operation this season, seems to
be the general impression of the ex-
perts who have e~ndeavored for the
past few weeks to get seed from
abroad. The regular market is
closed on account of the war and
the small amount that gets through
from Austria is quickly taken by
the Michigan and Colorado grow
ers. 1t is possible that a sufficient
quantity can be secured from
Vladivostok. Siberia, to supply the
needs of the Fallon growers.

Refuses to Deliver Heads

The Reno postoffice has handled
practically every commodity since
the installation of the parcel post
law without kicking, but when dead
dogs ana the heads of rabid coyotes
began to come in for delivery the
office force rebelled. The matter
was taken up with the postoifice
department and official notice OBJ
tanned that such matter was not
transferable by parcels post. Bales
of hay and sacks of coal are fine
for the exercise they entail, but the
Reno pacels postmen could not see
where they would be benefited by
handling a rabies-infected head OF
a dog or COYOTE,

grow Chemley olives on his prep
erty in the ranching district OF
Yerington valley. The species Is a
South African brand of desert olive
and the soil around his farm APP
pears to be particularly adapted to
the olive. Few olives are grown
in this state, except in the Pahrump
district, which has several trees
that bear fine crops every year.
