SELECT
DELEGATES TO CHICAGO

The Republican State Central CON-
mittee met at Reno last Saturday
and after attending to preliminary
matters resolved itself into a con-
vention and selected the following as
delegates to the national conven-
tion to be held at Chicago next June.
Hugh Brown Of Nye; William N.
McGill, of White Pine; II. G. Humph
ey, of Washoe; Samuel Platt,( of
ormsby; George S. Williams, of
Churchill; Mel S. Badt, of Elko.
The alternate delegates are: W.
A. keddie, of Churchill; Mrs. T. F..
Moran. of Washoe; William Easton
OF Eureka; H. U. Castle, of Elko; /;
}. F. Bradley, of Esmeralda; Peter
Buol. of Clark.
The que stion has been asked: How
was it that congressman Roberts was
overlooked. Possibly it was an
oversight, or that two representa-,
t1ves from Ormsby county was toe
many from the same county. But
THAT was probably not the reason
elther, since Washoe, Churchill and
Elko We're given two apiece. How
ever, the delegation is good one.

hoNORS OF STRATEGY AGAIN
WITH RUSSIA

When, at the beginning of the war,
the Russian armies burst into East
Prussia it was too early to say
whether they were equal to the task
Of meeting the Prussian military
machine on it's own ground for as
much as an instant or whether they
must be hurled back instantly, as
they were.
When Russian armies have struck
terrific blow at the very heart Of
the Turkish empire in Asia Minor
it is too early to say whether they
can soon seal up Constantinople as in
a tomb or whether that work must
take many months or even years.
But it is not too soon to say that
Russian military genius, whether it
is the genius of the Grand Duke
Nicholas or of somebody else, has
again repeated the brilliant strategy
which in all this war has been sim
gular to the Russian army.
The Russians did more than to
astonish Berlin when they swept into
East Prussia; they duped Berlin.
That was military feint. While
Russia was feinting at East Prussia,
while Russia was making such an
appearance of invading the Kaiser's
own empire and kingdom as to draw
into East Prussia German troops
from as far as the west front at the
crucial moment in France-while
the Russians were making that feint
they were in reality aiming to roll
into Galicia, almost unopposed, as
they did; to shake the Austrian en-
pire, almost before the central pow-
ers knew what they were about, as
they did; to scale the Carpathians,
as they did; to grind and break and
pulverize, as they did, the Austrian
armies so that, except when sup
ported by the German legions, Aus
trian troops have never since been
an effective force on the battlefield.
Russia, in the midst of her sue.
cessful strokes of strategy, ran out
Of ammunition; she was beaten back
all along the line; she was driven
across her own boundaries; she lost
provinces; ! she had her armies
slaughtered like sheep. Russia
though it was impossible to conquer
her, was defeated tremendously
But nothing in all those days of de-
feat and disaster could dim the
luster of her strategy in the early
months of the war-the only strateg,
exercised in all Europe, the strategy
which saved Paris.
And here again in the East Is ,

THE DANISH WEST INDIES

The first question in any righteous
consideration of American purchase
Of the Danish West Indies has to do
with the effect on those islands and
their 10000 people. There are three
islands in the group, lying just to
the east Of Porto Rico; st. John, st.
Croix, and st. Thomas. Their total
area would make up a very small
American county-about 140 square
miles--and they are pretty heavily
populated.
For a considerable period the in
dustrial conditions Of the islands
have been depressed. Sugar is their
chief product. If they should be-
come American territory, their
sugar would get admittance to the
American customs system, and with
out much doubt the same result
would follow there that happened in
Porto Rico: the inside track to the
great American market would in
sure immediate restoration Of pros
perity. .....'....
Should they, then, be taken in?
Are there any objections?
To the contrary there are only
affirmative reasons. They are part
Of the fringe Of corals that encircles
the Caribbean; and the Caribbean is
our Mediterranean. In it we must
dominate, we must be absolutely Sc
cure. The canal must be protected,
the trade routes that will course
through It must be our trade routes.
It is dangerous to leave the Danish
islands as possible naval bases for
some hostile power in future. We
need them quite as much as they
need us.
Finally there is the question of
Denmark's attitude. For years the
revenues Of the islands, raised main
ly from custom duties, have not been
equal to their requirements, and
Denmark has been footing up a
deficit. This was shouldered willingly
enough as a matter Of national
pride; but Denmark is losing enthu-
siasm about it in view of the diff
culties Of her domestic position in
war times. 1t is now stated that
the mother country would be willing
to take the S4,000,O00 which the
United States once offered and which
Denmark at that time refused fol-
the islands. If so, the deal should
be made. The United States would
be vastly disgusted if one day these
strategically important bits of Carib-
bean vantage ground should turn up
in possession of Germany. Now is
the time to buy.

new and successful demonstration Of
that successful strategy Of a year
and half ago, with the Turks In the
center Of their empire---for Constan-
tinople Ia only the outpost capital Of
that empire-outhanked. And II Is
the Grand Duke Nicholas who just
now may have performed the most
important feat Of the whole war,
with the exception of the battle Of
the Marne.
It was the grand duke who de-
ceived the German masters of war
with his feint in East Prussia at the
north when he was outhanking, sur
rounding, and destroying the Aus
trians at the south. It was the grand
duke who, when the Russian hosts
were being driven pell-mell back
across their own boundaries, was
supposed to be sent away to the East
in disgrace. Was this another feint? ?
Was he sent to the East to outfiank
the Turks in their own territory eS
he outfianked the Austrians in theirs,
because he was the man for the job?
Did he again dupe the masters Of
war in that pretense Of incompetence
and disgrace?
Is it the Grand Duke Nicholas
who, despite the natural disadvan,
tages Of his royal and imperial birth,
80 to speak, is the military genius Of
the greatest war in the history Of the
world?

RIGHT EDUCATION

What have we a right to demand
for our children of the public schools
and our colleges? That is a peril
nent question; it lies in the back
ground of most educational discus
sions. Some folk think the schools
are doing too much. Some would
widen their scope farther.
About the best platform Of essen
tials to be demanded Of any educa-
tional system was that outlined last
evening by John T. Devine, speaking
to the Monday Evening Club. His
requirements are three. They are
brief, crisp, inclusive. They are
these:
Schools should teach efficiency so
the pupils shall not know poverty.
They should teach principles Of
health, so that the pupils shall not
know disease.
They should impart respect for
law, so that pupils shall not know
jails and penitentiaries.
Couple with that remarkable pa
per just published through the
Rockefeller Foundation, written by
DR.. Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard. DR.. Eliot's
observations amplify the first point,
that of efficient training.
DR.. Eliot pleads for thorough
training Of the senses" More eye
work and more hand work are need
ed, not only for those pupils who
would become artisans or drafts
men, but for everyone because
everyone needs to use his senses
more efficiently.
1t is reflection upon our civiliza-
tion that we should have to revert to
the barbarian or to the animal king
dom for SMILES which express keen
ness Of vision. acuteness of hearing,
delicacy of touch. These things form
the basis for the rounding out of a
mans self, and they have been sadly
neglected in the education of most
of US. II you don't believe it listen
to the muddled testimony of wit
nesses in any court trial.
Amid all the discussions of minutia
about educational methods it is re-
freshing to come out into the open
and stand squarely upon a few prin-
ciples clearly enunciated by straight
thinkers.

DUTCH PROSECUTE
SMUGGLING NOW

THE HAGUE, April 5.-The Dutch
Minister of War, reporting in the Sec
ond Chamber of the Dutch Parliament
says that 36,679 persons were prose-
cuted for smuggling goods into Ger
many last year Forty thousand sold
iers were employed to prevent SNUG
Sling, but because of the coo miles of
frontier they had to patrol, many of
the smugglers were able to do brisk
business with the people across the
border. The wiles of the smugglers
are many and the ingenuity which they
bring to their trade, it is said, would
fit them for all the higher reaches of
diplomacy.
Leather was smuggled inside barrels
of mussels, balls of rubber inside the
outer shells of onions and bags of meal
got up to represent sleeping babies
were sent over the border. Hundreds
oi thousands of the frontier population
