SAN PLAT COMMENTS
ON MORCR0SS

Sam Plat, the republican nominee
for the United States senate against
Senator Francis G. NewianIs at the
last election, was interviewed today
concerning the announcement OF JUS
tice Norcross and made the following
statement:
Probably no man In public life in
the state today has more greatly dis
tinguished himself than Justice Frank
H. Norcross. He has always proven
himself an able, conscientious and
fearless official and the announcement
of his candidacy for the United States
senate undoubtedly holds marked in
terest among republicans Of Nevada
and the electorate of the entire state.
On account of the undoubted jealous
party fight that will be waged during
the next campaign 1t Is well that a
number of active candidates from both
parties enter the lists. for the oppor-
tunities for selecting the strongest
nominees will be all the greater.
Owing to the very close margin be-
tween Senator Newlands and myself at
the last election, many OF my friends
have assumed that shall again be a
candidate this year. 1t is more than
likely that shall be. 1t is most graft
flying to have this opportunity to ex-
press publicly my unbounded gratitude
to the large number of voters, who
supported me at the last election. No
man ever entered a senatorial fight I'm
this state who had behind him more
loyal following or a greater number OF
Jealous and enthusiastic workers aul
no feeble words of mine can properly
express my heartfelt thanks to ezaA
and all of them.
Whoever the nominee OF the next
republican convention sor this great
office may be, am CO. tain he will lead
the party to victr.y. The signs of the
times can no, ne mistaKen. Nationally
and locally :he needs 81 the country
and sta:s demand principles and poll
cies that VIII Foster and encourage
American aEd state industries and
suild us up for the welfare and pros
pez1u OF our people."-Reno Gazette.

SUGAR PLANT BOUGHT
BY BOND HOLDERS

FALLON, Jan. THE property OF
the Nevada Sugar company was sold
today to Walter e. Oxtoby, represent
ing the Detroit bond-holders, for the
sum OF $345.816.13, which represents
the principal and accrued interest
The bidding was devoid of any spec
tacular incidents. The bids opened at
100000 and advanced steadily in
sums of $4,000 until the final amount
mentioned was reached. There were
but three bidders, Judge L. N. French
]. R. Duffy and w. E. Oxtoby.
AS explained by Judge French after
the sale, the proceedings so far had
simply placed the property in a posi-
ton where 1t may be passed with a
clear title to any prospective pur-
chaser. However, he stated that he
fully realized the vital interest in the
outcome to this community and the
fact that If anything was to be done
during the coming season 1t would be
necessary to take prompt action. For
this reason he felt safe In stating that,
whoever became the final purchaser Of
the property, no time would be lost in
perfecting a new organization and ad.
vising the farmers OF the fact.
FALLON. Jan. IA meeting 81 the
stockholders of the Nevada Sugar COM
pany was held at the Office of the
company in Fallon yesterday after
noon for the consideration OF RI Offer

This action was necessary to place

the purchasers at the sale today and
obviate the delay that might arise
through operation of the six months
right of redemption under the statutes.

issued 1854 were represented either in

10 the conviction that the investiga-
ton brought TO the fore TWO ifnpoi-
tant and sometimes unsupported faets
the first, that there is an irreconclia-
bic antagonism between the principles
of Catholicism and the principles OF
modern sociology; the second, that
"the real danger with which our cain
Ollie institutions of charity and reform
are threatened is by that highly organ
lied agency OF paganism, modern So
GEOLOGY and its allies"
After contrasting these antagonistic
principles he says:
Prophets of the modern sociology
frankly avow their complete indepen-
dence Of what they would doubtless
term the outworn creed and morality
of the Catholic Church. From their
point of view their course is thorough
iy justified; but to the Catholic social
worker it Is nothing less than n re-
turn 10 2aganism and a rather degrad-
ed paganism at that. II Is imperative
that we Catholics, clergy and lay alike,
thoroughly realize this fact. Founded
upon n philosophy Of revolt, which Is
fast becoming deifchtion OF the
State, and propagated by interests that
are tireless and often interruptions in
their methods, the modern sociology is
developing into as great danger to
religion as its allied product, the mod
ern school, from which God has been
utterly excluded"

Unable to Get Help.

Mineola, Long Island, May $50
great demand is there for laborers at
the munition factories in New Jersey
and Connecticut that it is impossible
for the owners of large estates, as well
as farmers, TO obtain farm help in Mas
sau County. The State Labor Depart

registered by the bureau.
Sixteen persons answered the one
hundred ads for farmhands, thirteen
Of them being from Brooklyn. and all
were put to work. Many did not know
how TO harness u horse, but the farm
ers were compelled to take them in lieu
of none at all. Twenty servant girls
were wanted, but none answered.
The farmers can pay only $50 a
month, with board and lodging The
estates pay S2.25 day, with the same
conditions The lure OF still higher
wages, however. by the munition max
ers is combing the Long Island farms
