CRIMINAL CASES NEVER
TRIED IN THE NEWSPAPERS

Every once in a while the legal tai
ent of a state will get together for dis
cussion of one thing and another and
the passing of numerous resolutions.
These meetings. of course, are good.
and we have absolutely no argument
with them, but why, oh, why must
every gathering of lawyers always
work itself up into state of excite
ment by denunciation of trial by
newspapers"
News papers never try anybody
They record the news, and If the news
happens to reveal things that are fav-
orable or unfavorable to a complainant
or defendant, that certainly cannot
be called trial by newspapers"
In this connection an absurd custom
carried out in many of the cases that
gain countrywide publicity comes to
mind. A jury rs selected to determine
the guilt or innocence of an accused.
The case lasts several days. perhaps a
week or two. During this time the
jurymen are not allowed to read news
papers, or, if permission rs given, some
official goes through the paper first
and sees TO it that everything pertain.
ing to the case is depleted, cut out,

withheld.

The viewpoint Of the officials seem
to be that the reporter. sitting in the
courtroom and hearing the same testi-
mony as the juror. might write for his
paper that a certain witness said two
and two make five and the juror. see
ing this in the paper. would immedi,
ately come to the conclusion that two
and two did make five. Jurors are
supposed to have very little sense, and.
judged by the action of some officials
and some lawyers, the newspapers are
credited with less.
Withholding newspapers from Jurors
Is a silly procedure. The newspaper
gives to the world merely what the
jurors get at first hand.
AS far as the denunciation Of trial
by newspapers" is concerned. let the
lawyers not forget that their reputa.
tions are made through the newspap.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
CANDIDATES ANNOUNCE

Never before in the political history
OF Nevada have candidates formally
announced themselves for office SO
early as they are uoing this year. The
congressional candidates set the ball
rolling, and candidates for state and
county offices rapidly fell into line.
There are but tow state offices to be
filled this year. justice of the supreme
court and clerk of the supreme court.
for the former office, and two for the
latter. For the former, Judge Quicker Of
Winnemucca has announced himself
as a candidate subject to the decision
of the Democratic state convention.
and Judge Moran of Reno has an
nounced himself as candidate for the
Republican nomination. For clerk of
the supreme court, William Kennett
Of Elko, and Hal Mighels of Carson
have announced themselves, and Harry
Harmon Of Clark County and Clyde
Johnson of Esmeralda County are re-
ported as aspiring to the democratic
nomination. r. A. Mckay of Carson
is said to want the republican nomina-
ton. Carson can always be depended
upon to want everything in sight
The senatorial situation remains un.
changed so far as the democratic nom.
ination is concerned. 1t looks from
this distance as though Senator Pitt,
man has the better of the argument
A serious stumbling block to Judge
McCarran is his oath to support, pro.
tect and defend the constitution OF
the State of Nevada, and the fact that
the constitution provides that no man
holding a judicial position shall be
eligible for any position other than a
judicial position during the time fol-
which he was elected. He took office

ably ask to succeed himself as the
democratic nominee. II he should de-
eide differently. VIM. Willis. deputy,
win probably aspire to the position.
Others prominently mentioned are
Mrs. Rose Rogers, Herbert Sproule,
Lester Eyler and Homer Andrea. Mrs.
Rogers states that she has been think.
ing seriously OF running for office and
she is receiving much encouragement.
but she points out that it is still very
early. Mrs. Rogers is a very capable
woman and well qualified to fill any
position to which she may aspire.
There Is no doubt Of a hard fight for
this office this year. Weathers has
strong friends, but the office Is one
whers enemies as well as friends are
sure OF develop, and he will have been
in the office ten years when his pres.
ent term expires.
The race for district attorney will
probably end with the democratic
state convention. The present incum.
bent E. p. Carville has announced him.
self for reelection, and Joseph Nc
Namara is also in the race. Harold
Hale has been encouraged TO come.
and may later decide to do SO. The
| fight between these three would end
with the convention unless one should
decide to come independent. Conting
encies might arise which would cause
the entrance of a republican. For the
republican nomination. Carey Van
/ Fleet, Milton Badt, Chas. Cantwell
Tom Agee, Otto T. Williams and
! Judge Curler are eligible.
For other county offices none are
generally mentioned, aside from pres
ent incumbent-but wait.
/ A local fight for justice of the peace
seems imminent between the present
incumbent H. U. Castle. and James
Doughty. Each has u strong following
and a race between them would de
velop great interest. The position is
an important one, and the en.oluments
are such that ii is attractive.

MIGRATORY BIRD
LAW N FORCE
A Washington dispatch says:

A Washington dispatch says:
A misleading statement has recently
become current in newspapers and are
to the effect that the Department OF
Agriculture has suspended the enforce
ment Of the Federal regulations under
the Migratory Bird Law and by this
means has enabled sportsmen. under
state laws. to shoot wild fowl during
the coming spring.
Under the Federal regulations as
they stand, the season on all migra-
tory wild fowl is closed until next
autumn throughout the United States.
Federal inspectors and wardens are
required. and others interested in the
protection of wild fowl are requested
to report to the Department Of Agri-
culture all cases of violations OF the
regulations, in order that proper &C.
ton may be taken.
The Department Of Agriculture has

pardon violations of the regulations.
Doubtless the erroneous impression on
which the newspaper statements are
based, has grown out Of the tendency
Of litigation involving the constitu-
uonality OF the Act of Congress ap-
proved March 4. 1913, under which the
regulations were promulgated. The
lower Federal courts disagreed as to
the validity Of the statute and the Is
sue was carried to the Supreme court
OF the United States. The case was
argued in the Supreme court in Oc-
tober 1915, but has not been decided.
Following the lower court decisions,
congress appropriated money for the
purpose of continuing the enforcement
OF the law. The Department of Agri-
culture is bound to report to the De-
partment OF Justice violations OF the
regulations II the Supreme court
should declare the law constitutional.
All persons should. therefore, be
warned of the danger they incur from
failure to abide by the regulations.

Just Little Twist In Shakespeare
Title Did the Trick

There was once travelling theatrical
company, so the tale Of venerable age
and long improbable veracity goes,
that was booked to play in town a
melodrama considered as suitable TO
the prospective audience. By accident
the necessary scenery and costumes
were sent ahead 10 the next stopping
place, which was the capital of the
state where a Shakespearean play was
to be presented at the governors spe-
cial request, and the costumes and ac-
cessor1es for the Shakespeare perform
ance were the ones that arrived. There
was no time to right the mistake, but
there was time to rush new set of
posters advertising the new play.

the public. "Do not miss the oppor-

Knife Duels In Mexico.

A duel between cattle herders on the
Mexican plains is about as savage and
deadly a manner OF fightng as one
could possibly imagine. Each opponent
extends his left arm. and third party
who has been selected TO act as ref
cree binds their wrists together with
thong OF ruwhide. lie then places a
knife in the right hand of each. and
the fight IA on. Needless to say, 1t does
not last long. Every stab may be cal
culatcd upon 20 do damage, and It Of
ten happens that both duelists receive
fatal wounds. Yet. in spite of the Sc

who become experts and !errorize Il

selves on being able to strike SO quick

opponent with the first blow and get
away unscathed. Exchange.

First let us dispel the popular idea
that whale is fish. 1t Is not fish
but an animal 1t feeds It's young with
milk. And even though 1t lives IN the
water 1t can be drowned. A fish ex-
trncts oxygen from the water and
takes IL through its gllls. But the
whale has TO rise to the surface aud

When 1t does this 1t spouts water to

whale has a large, fat tail, about
eighteen feet across. Every fish has an

their tails only To act as rudders. But

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
Life That Looks Like Real Death, Yet
Revives After Many Months.

{
Revives After Many Months.
One Of the most extraordinary mani
festations Of life is a condition quite
common among the lower animals and
known as anabiosis, or suspended ami
nation. The creature is to all appear
ances dead The most refined means
Of observation cannot detect a sign of
life. The blood has ceased to flow.
The nerves no longer respond to any
stimulation. There is neither respira-
ton, elimination nor sensation. This
state may last long time, but given
the proper conditions the creature will
come to life again.
The lower we go in the scale of life
the more pronounced Is this state of
neither life nor death.
Some remarkable experiments con-
Quoted by r. Shultz and A Singol OF
Petrograd are described by the Berlin
correspondent of the Scientific Amer
lean. The experimenters dried round
worms till they were as thin as paper
strips. then cut them into thin slices.
When placed in water the tissues
swelled to their normal proportions,
and the pieces Of worm resumed their
life just as do those Of any worm that
is cut up.
They took some threadworms, rOti-
fers and microbes and dried them
thoroughly, kept them thus for eight
months, then locked them in an air
tight box from which all oxygen was
removed and through which a current
Of pure hydrogen flowed for two
weeks. Thus they We're not only dried,
but effectually deprived Of oxygen.
Yet on being moistened they "came to
life" again quickly. Strangest of all,
those that had been locked In the
hydrogen chamber revived in fifteen
minutes, while those that had merely
been dried needed forty minutes.
