Friday afternoon between the Seniors
and Sophomores was postponed until

Coast League team, is after Chief

the commission fail TO grant the relief
asked for It must be concluded that
the evidence presented was completely
ignored by the commission, and that
its action is based upon its own pre-
conceived ideas. 1t was proved con-
clusively that water competition
through the Panama Canal, which was
the basis OF the former order, had been
completely eliminated, and evidence
showed almost conclusively that such
competition could not be restored In
full force and effect during the next
two or three years.
Referring to Nevada's official repre-
sentation in Washington, Judge Bar
tine said no Nevadan-can be in Wash
ington a week without being filled
with pride at the standing Of the two
senators who represent this state in
the upper house OF congress. While
Senator Newlands is somewhat in ad-
vance Of the procession, and his views
are not always accepted by his party
associates, his great ability and splen-
did character as man are everywhere
recognized, and this without regard to
party differences. Probably no man
in the public life of the country today
is held in higher regard by those who
are in close touch with him at the seat
of government than is Senator New
lands.
Senator Pittman Is q comparatively
new man in the senate, but is is safe
to say that in that ultraconservative
body, he has acquired a position and
standing which has scarcely been
equalled by any other member within
the same period of time. Senator Pitt
man entered that body without pre-
vious connection with national official
life. Had he been in the house for
two or three terms he might have gone
I to the senate with a certain degree of
prestige which would, in n measure,
have taken him out of the category of
new members, and given him a much
better opportunity for rapid advance
ment. He had no such advantage. He
has been compelled to make his way
by the sheer force of his ability and
energy, and he has acquired a most
enviable standing. In his own party
few, If any, have firmer hold upon
the trust, confidence, admiration and,
might add, affection of his colleagues
than has Senator Key Pittman of Ne
vada. Ours is a small state and if we
are to make ourselves felt in the coun-
ellis of the nation, it can only be done
by being strongly represented in the
| senate. Upon this point Nevada could
scarcely ask for anything better than
she now has.
The denomination of President VIII
son IS assured. It has been incumbent
upon him to maintain the dignity of
the American Republic, and to pre-
serve its traditions of the past, its atti.
tude upon the basic principles of in.
ternational law. and at the same time
! keep the country out of war. These
things, up to the present time, he has
done with consumate skill.-Carson
