MR.. LANSING REASONS WELL

ut would be unwMe for me at the present time to take n active
part in politics." wrote Hon. Robert Lansing, in declining to serve a
of the New York State Democratic convention.
And again: "WhI it has been and will continue to be my aim to
conduct the department of state without regard to domestic politics,
ar afraid that if should act as chairman my doing s. would be mis-
construed and might subject the foreign policies of the government ito
the criticism of partisan bias" For "the impression prevails through
out the country that II foreign relations are entirely removed from
parisanship of any sort-an impression which believe is fully justified
by the way in which the president has conducted them" --
Secretary Lansing reasons wen-as a secretary of state should
reason. And practical considerations Of his official service, pending, no
less than ethical considerations of its title, dictate his refraining from
active participation in political campaigning and the preliminary Incl
dents thereof. The non-poitcal reasons why he should act as head OF
the foreign office solely, at this time, are many and vey important.
There were n o personally partisan reasons for his appointment to
that place. He took office as an expert practitioner OF international law,
not a. a Democratic manager or election counselor. His record OF
worthy service lies within the government, OF in the campaign field.
His political relationship involves only the higher, broader meaning ct
politics and in the present state of the nations affairs he has his hands
veryf full with that. His concept of the portfolio of state will be as &C
ceptable to the people and to his PARTY As it must be to the president,
whose public course it reflects.

ONCE OVERS

There are many kinds of charity, but one of the finest is within the
power of your own voice.
1t is shown in the way you speak of and to others.
Be not too anxious to condemn.
Try to assist.
Instead of telling people of their failures, think of something that
they do we'll and talk about that, and if you know that they might do
some other things in a better manner, be tactful in suggesting a remedy.
You really w it to those who have started IN the wrong road to
do what you a to help them get right again.
Your influence may not be great, but the mere fact that you have
demonstrated your interest by speaking we'll Of the person to others
and adding a personal good word or cheering remark may be just the
help that some discouraged needs.
Show confdnece. Be in earnest about it. The waverng n will
not disappont you.
That tone of confidence may be a tower of strength where you least
expect it.
Make it a practice; then whether You know or not, you will not fail
to have spoken the right word and in season.

READS LIKE A POPULIST PLATFORM

If the Democrats have been guilty of any sins OF Johnston " con
mission, implied, real or imaginary, the resolution committee appointed
by the Republicans at their last Saturday meet at Reno failed not in
finding them. To all appearances they left nothing out, and their de-
nuncations and COMBINATIONS brought wildly to mind a Popuhst plat
form of a generation ago. But while nothing in the Democratic lns
was overlooked, a close scrutiny of all the RESOLVED" as appeared in
Yesterdays Reno Gazette, failed to reveal a word Of recognition or com
mendation for Hon. Ed F. Roberts, Republican congressman from Ne
yada. What has Ed done that he should be passed up?
The Democrats. when they had their meeting ten days ago, very
courteously named their representatives at Washington rs delegates to
the coming National convention, but the Republicans denied Roberts
wei that honor and named a lot the most Of whom we're unknown
"IIow do you like that, you"-Repubicans?

A MOST PRECIOUS ASSET

David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Stanford university, in a address
delivered last Saturday before the Fifteenth Annual Convention OF the
Alameda District State Federation OF Women's clubs, said:
"War is the greatest calamity that an beal a nation. 1t makes
no difference whether nation is victorious or defeated; perhaps it is
worset to be victorious, for flushed with success, nations enthrone war
as glorious, while the defeated in their humiliation se the folly OF it.
Nations at a are insane and law1ess. We are the great a
ton in the world that is maintaining the principal of international law
and if W. give up one principle o. it, all is lost and W re join this insane
mob. The president is right in refusing to abate n jot of the princi-
pies of international law in the matter of sinking passenger vessels"
Amid much applause DIR. Jordan stated, "President Wilson is the
most precious asset for peace in the world"

Late Wins Suit.

Considerable interest was taken In the
suit brought by Mr.. l.. R. Waesche
against Mr.. Geo. Late. Both parties are
residents of this place and next door
neighbore:
For man y,lrs Mr.. Late has been en-
gagged in butchering, his home. slaughter
house and store room being located on E.
Main street.
Several years ago when the public
school building was enlarged, Mr.. Waes-
che was contractor, and through arrange
ments with the School Commissioners
took the old High School building as part
payment for work done at the Public
school building. Later he remodeed the
building, converting it into a hotel.
Mr.. Waesche claimed the slaughter
house menace to his hotel and sued Mr..
Late for 1000 damage. The case was
heard in court Monday and Tuesday be-
fore a jury composed of Granville c.
Holtz, foreman; John G. Derr, Mahlor
Stoneslifer. Roscoe P. Brown, Joseph W.

FEW fOLD MAIDS" LEFT.

Among the most delightful modern
products are our bachelor girlsl
1t has been said that good wife
is the by-product of love, and it may
be said with equal truth that a bach
elor girl is the result of new business
conditions.
One thing, however, is certain; the
bachelor girl has crowded ont our old
maids. Rarely, indeed, will you
come across a real genuine specimen
of the blightcd love series surrounded
with her feline pets, an authority on
heart symptoms and a blender OF
bird seed.
There may be a few of these dear
old maids still to be found in remote
country districts. but in our towns
and cities they are extinct as the
dodo.
Perhaps it would be more correct
to say that they have "cvoluted' in
to bachelor girls. In the good old
days any girl who didn't marry be-
fore she was 80 was dubbed an old
maid" She was frequently lonely
soul and took to reading faded letters
and dabbling with smelling salts.
Nowadays girl who doesn't marry
is called bachelor girl" She has
Il good job and holds it down, has a
check book, good clothes, lives in a
pretty flat or shares apartments with
other pretty girls and is looked up to
and cnvied by her married friends.
She attends strictly to business and
her relatives are very polite to her
because she is such a clever crea-
ture.n and incidentally because she
buys shoes for their children and
pays for Angelina's piano lessons.
The old maid lived in the past;
the bachelor girl lives in the present
and has her weather eye open on the
things to come.

and large tree. His skull was badly
crushed.

that death ensued instantly.

TEXAS PIG-CLUB BOYS PROFITS.

Raymond Williams, of Texas, joined
the pig club last spring. Selecting a
2-month old Duroc pig weighing
pounds, he commenced feeding it
early in April. Grazing his pig on
oats, Bermuda grass and alfalfa, he
fed a supplementary feed of shorts
and maize chops, some skim milk,
and toward the end some cottonseed
meal. Seven months later the pig
was killed, and it dressed 395 pounds.
The meat, lard, sausage, ETC., when
sold at retail brought s51 .65, and
gave the boy a net profit of S23.31.
Month by month the pig gained as
follows: Weight at beginning, Al
Al pounds; at end of first month,
SO pounds; second month, 145
pounds; third month, 2Oi pounds;
fourth month, 276 pounds; fifth
month, 346 pounds; sixth month,
Ala pounds. The pig was then s
months old, and had gained 1878
pounds in six months, or more than
2 pounds daily. The next month
very little gain was put on, as the pig
was very fat.
The total cost, including feed, ORR
ginal cost Of pig, and cost of killing,
cutting, and refrigeration, was $685.
"a. The net profit of S23.31 was
approximately twice as much as if
the pig had been sold on the hoof,
Good stock, good start before
weaving, pasture, a balanced ration,
mineral mixture always before the
pig, and the work and care of an in
dustrious boy all contributed to this
successful pig feeding Weekly News
Letter.

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of February 2sth, the distinct
musical triumph of the sea son,
PRINCESS PAT;
music by Victor Herbert, lyrics by Henry
Blossom, with Eleanor Painter, prima-
donna pre- eminent, and the entire New
York cast and production.
"The Princess Pat" Henry Blossom
and Victor Herbert's latest musical sue
cess, which has occupied the stage of the
Cort Theatre, New York, since the be-
ginning of the present season, will be
seen here week of February 28th, with
Miss Eleanor Painter and the original
cast, ensemble and orchestra intact.
1.-The Princess Pat" is one of those
charming comic operas; in fact, the only
one which carries US back to the days of
the DAILY Theatre, when such delightful
offerings as "Three Little Maids" and
1.-THE Country Grip were presented. 1t
has all the cleverness of those produce
tions with the sweetness and refinement
retained. The play is about the Princess
Patrice di Montaldo, an Irish girl who
has married an Italian nobleman and who
is living on Long Island. She is called
Pat for short. The prince has grown
careless in his display of affection since
their marriage, and to teach him much
needed lesson, as well as to save her g irl
friend, Grace Holbrook, from a union
with Anthony Schmalz, wealthy old
duffer, she enters into a scheme to arouse
the jealousy of the prince and at the
same time the suspicious of Grace by
starting a harmless Irritation with
Schmalz. This all works out nicely after
many exciting situations, threatened
duels and other attractive indoor sports.
There is much fun-n aking throughout
the three acts, while the truly Victor
Herbert score is interspersed with pretty
solos, duets, dances and concert d num-
bers.

The Lighting Question.

Representatives of the Public Ser
vice Commission of Maryland We're
in town a few days ago making an
inspection of conditions as to the
conducting of our Lighting Plant
and doubtless the Commission Will
advise the town what it will have to
do to remedy conditions, both as re-
CARDS the voltage and as to the use OF
meters.
We understand that these inspect
ors said that the first thing that would
have to be done was the placing IN
running order of the governors on
the water wheels. which we under
stand are not used and neyer have
been. These governors are suppose d
to assist very materially in keeping
the voltage steady" when extra
loads are put on. Just why it was
necessary to have a Public Service
man come along and tell the town
they must be used we can't say, UNI
less the man in charge has refused to
work them.n If this is so, then
the proper authorities should see that
orders are issued, and then see that
they are carried out. The Lighting
system, with Power House, etc, Is
no play thing. 1t cost the taxpayers
S23, 900 and it is up to somebody to
see to it that it is made to do what Is
expected of it.
Now as to the meter question.
This seems to be a happy -go-lucky"
sort of way that is being permitted to
90 at will. Some don't have any
meters, and number have meters
that don't run at all, and the sum OF
the two means, that the town loses
revenue, and those in this favored
class get a lot of current for nothing.
We don't blame those who get their
current for nothing, but we do blame
the Commissioners.
