NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN
Chauffeur Had Overlooked a Matter
That Really Was of the Grav-
est Importance.

AS he buttoned up his overcoat be-
fore setting off on a motor tour, Jones
asked his chauffeur n few questions.
Car all ready? Have you put the
spare inner tubes in the tonneau?"
"Yessir."
"Are the repair tools In the box"
and plenty of petrol In the tank 2"
"Yessir," replied the man again, pa
tiently.
"Oiled 1t thoroughly"
"Yessir." And this time he reeled
off a list of places to which he had
applied the oil can.
The motorists face grew black
when he finished.
why, you fool" he broke in, "you
have forgotten the most important
place of all !"
The chauffeur stared Mt him In sur
prise.
you've forgotten the number plate
at the back" snapped Jones. 'Take
the can and squirt some oil Oh it.
Then the dust will stick to II. Never
forget TO oil the number plate"

Just as the Appeal predicted a
short time ago the Pittman land
grant bill that has been so viciously
attacked by the Reno Journal, the
Reno Gazette, Sam Platt and Grant
Miller, the voluble barmicide of the
Socialist party. has turned out al
ready to be a boomerang for the Re-
publican party and the opposition.
In the early days of the campaign
many people were fooled by the un-
warranted attacks on the bill and
the fact was demonstrated the bill
had not been generally read, but the
explanations that have followed have
changed sentiment. The opponents
of the measure wilfully endeavored
to nnslead the voters If they
had been honest why did they
not read the bill in its en-
tirety from the platform! 1t is
short, plain and concise, containing
only five brief sections, besides the
title of the bill and the enacting
clause and would not take up the
time Of any speaker to exceed five
minutes.
The opposition, especially the
stockmen, know that that little word
USE in section 4 of the bill is the
meat of the entire matter. When
that word was put into the bill it
simply sounded the death knell to
free grazing lands, which privilege
The stockmen have been enjoying for
many years to the determent of the
finances of the state.
Miller and Platt, with the Reno
Journal and Gazette, have thought
and did think that concerted action
on their part and wilfull misstate-
ments of the purposes, intents and
benefits of the bill would defeat SEN
ator Key Pittman for reelection.
But they reckoned without their
