WHY H

The Reno Journal and the Goldfeld Tribune are having a little dis
putc as o the number of Socialists in Nevada, the former claiming IN
number does not exceed 1000 and the latter that the number is nearer
5000. From the returns of the recent election it is plainly evident that
the Tribune is nearly correct in its estimate, and what is more, the mex
election will show a still larger number of Socialists unless the old parties
the Democratic in particular, change their system.
Most of the Socialists in Nevada the past few years have come from
the Democratic party, not because the individuals are imbued with Social
ishc doctrine so much as because they have become disguised with the
methods that have been adopted by some of the so-cared Democratic
leaders and office holders and their detection is intended as a rebuke for
the treatment they have received. Say what you may, people are not in
politics altogether for their health. and when n party is successful in
an election the members Of that party expect the emoluments and when
they are distributed to members of other parties for "favors received
there is bound to be a howl from the rank and file and repTsals will be
its last analysis it is they who put the occupants int office.
Another element that has either driven Democrats from the party or
made them inert is the practice that has obtained among some Demo
cratic appointve officers of knitting certain candidates locally when they
have not been allowed to have their W way. This has been done re-
peatedly in Ormsby county, Washoe county and other counties in the
state and it has resulted in elechng mixed tickets and the turning down
OF good Democrats. 1t is a contemplate, pernicous practice and should
not be stood for for a moment and those guilty of it should be disciplined
good and hard.
Normally, Nevada is now Democratic by a large majority, and in the
campaign to come they should win in every county in the state, but as a
prerequisite to ucces the party has got to De weeded out n made clean
by the elimination of the double-crossers.

TAFT NOW TALKING REASON

Ex-President Taft 1ectured o "The Church, Civilization and War
in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, last week, under the auspices OF the
Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. The audience filled the hall. MI.
Taft explained the purposes OF the League to Enforce Peace, OF which he
is the head.
"The question is" said Mr.. TAFT, whether the United States is gong
to lead in a movement to make W a less probable after this present ter
rile one in Europe has ended. Can we have a restoration OF friendly feel
ing between the bellgerent nations after this W a is over? Some say SC.
do not believe that to be the case. We had our W fratrcidal ar and
today all the wounds ar healed, and wounds sin a family are harder to
heal than are those where the combatants ire Of different nations OF fam

The president, MI. Taft said, must have the people of the country
behind him if this country is to WELD influence in the peace conference
which would end the war.

WOMAN'S PARTY DEFEATED

The women voters in the equal suffrage states, equally With h men
voters, are O be specially congratulated upon the result OF the election.
Ten out of the twelve such states returned majorities for the president.
This in spite of the strenuous, not to say wel-hnanced, campaign OF the
so-caled Woman's party, conducted o a one-plank platform, Punish

women voters themselves.
The result, it may be hoped, will teach the promoters of the move
ment' to wreak spite upon President Wilson o account solely OF a diff
ference of opinion, that they "a not hope for success among intelligent
people by n appeal to sex Solidarity If our lady friends would u
coed in their sphere of activity they must subordinate lex to citizen

free from partisanship. Above all, they must learn that in politics, as n
everything else, success depends upon reason and fair play. Perhaps If
the leaders of the Womans party will study the viewpoint of the rank and
file of women in the equal suffrage states they may learn thu elements
of the problem which they have assumed to teach. Thus their defeat may
ultimately rov useful in their future efors-San Francisco Star.

Plain Facts About
A Dirty Socialist

w. P. Detherow has issued a
circular which he is distributing
over the county in which he
makes an attack upon The
Journal because we refused to
publish a dirty article written
by him some time ago.
We refused to publish his
article and would do so again,
and we have no apology to Of
fer.
Detherow makes the false
charge that we let Mr.. Edwards
knife him and would not sell
him space in which to reply.
The dirtiest and most contemp-
tible liar in the world is the
fellow who tells only a part of
the truth in order to mislead
people, and this is what Deth-
crow has done.
Some time ago DetheroW
caused to be published in a
dirty rag at BatesVille an ar
ticle containing a false, uncall-
editor, and entirely unWarrant-
ed slur upon the citizenship of
Newark and this community.
This paper, considering the
diseased brain of the idiotic
wart of humanity from whom
the article came, expected to
treat the article only with con-
tempt, but Mr.. Edwards and
others requested us to permit
Mr.. Edwards to reply to the
article, which we did.
Detherow worked off
through the Batesville rag the
dirty bunch of lies he had in
his system against Newark, in
an effort to create prejudice
against the people of this COM
munity, and spread his Social
istic doctrines. Following this,
we permitted Mr.. Edwards to
reply to some of DetheroW's
charges. That ended the mat
ter so far as we were concern
ed, as Detherow had already
slung his barnyard slime all
over the people of Newark, and
we did not feel that he was en-
titled to any further considera-
ton.
But Detherow sent another
article to The Journal for pub
LEGATION re-iterating a part of
his false charges and contain
ing more of his Socialist dope.
He offered to pay for its publ
cation-that is, to the amount
of one dollar-but we refused
to publish it, and we want to
say here and now that SO long
as the present editor controls
this paper, Mr.. Detherow has
MT got enough money nor
can't borrow enough money to
get us to publish his false and
dirty Socialistic attacks upon
the good people of this COM
munity.
The only way he can getsuch
