A Good Soldier

Envelopes bearing in red ink on
their reverse side an article written
by Jack London, author and soldier
of fortuae, have been distributed in
a number of cities of the east to be
sold for use by persons opposed to
military preparedness, says the Path
finder. This article is bitter at
tack. on the character and career of
the soldier and is believed by govern
ment authorities to be the most
sharp and outspoken thing that has
appeared for years.
Acting on provision of the Grim
snal code which excludes from the
mails all matter openly carrying a
reflection on the character or con-
duct of any person, Postmaster Bur-
leson has issued an order barring
these envelopes from the mail. ~
The article in question. which
bears the title"A Good Soldier, fol-
lows:
"Yeung man, the lowest aim in
your life is to be good soldier. The
good soldier never tries to distin-
guish right from wrong, He never
thinks. reser reasons; he only obeys.
il he is ordered to fire on his fellow
citizens, on his friends, on his neigh
bors, on his relatives, he obevs
without hesitation. If be is ordered
to fire down a crowded street when
the poor are elamoring for bread. he
obeys, and sees the gray hairs of age
stained with red and the life tide
gushing from the breasts OF women,
feeling neither remorse nor sym
patty. If he Is ordered off as one of
o friag squad to execute hero or a
benefactor. he 6res without heSita-
tion, though he knows the bullet will
pierce the noblest heart that ever
beat in human breast.
"A good soldier is blind, heart
less, soulless. mprderous machine.
He is not even a brute, for bruteS
only kill in self defense, All that is
human In ban, all that is divine in
him, all that constitutes the man,
has been sworn away when he took
the enlistment roll His mind, con
science, aye, his very soul, are in the
keeping OF his officer. No man can
fall lower than Soldier--it is q
depth beneath which we cannot go.

contingent. In this respect the
County is most fortunate in the
possession of so remarkable show
ing.
Mr.. Atchison is deserving of con-
graduation in presenting a concise
and at the same time an intelligent
and creditable report.
BY means of segregation, the un.
necessary details are omitted and
the tax payer is handed a resume of
the fiscal year which he can readily
grasp.
The faithful work of the various
officials, as evidenced by this report,
calls for the highest commentator,
for it gives ocular demonstration of
the fact that we have servants at the
wheel who know their business. |
feel sure / am voicing the sentiment
of all the tax payers in expressing Il
sense Of gratitude to our county ia

servation.
In concluding this inefficient
appreciation, it is pleasure to note
the excellent work of the printer. A
more exacting and up to date pham-
phlet one could not procure in more
prctentious city centers.

Ed. Bulletin:-If not trespassing
on your valuable space | would like
to ventilate matter, which to my
mind is becoming more aggravating
to the general public. | refer to the
Leglence and Indifference OF officials
in charge of the school of mines at
Reno. When Mr.. Smith was in
charge, and also Mr.. Young, his pre-
decessor, prospectors did not have
to wait more than four or five days
for test or assay of their samples.
Under the present management we
hang around from two to four weeks
waiting result Now, Mr.. Editor,
this is not alone inconvenient to
prospectors but dire hardship on
those who believe the system under
Messrs Young and Smith still in
practice, for a poor man comes down
from the hills with likely samples
and decides to wait an answer to his
request for test or assay but finds in
stead Of four or five days he has to
wait four or five weeks. If it takes
so long to make the necessary test
why not notify the anxious pros
pector with a postal? Under this ar
rangement the sender could go back
to his work and there need be no loss
of time in the matter.
The writer has been waiting eleven
days for tungsten test but from
what he can learn from another
victim he will wait much longer.

An Appreciation.

A copy OF the Auditors report of

an instrument replete with CRAFTY
ing statistics 10 which we can feel a
sense of pride and of which we all
may boast; q showing few eouaties

tie economy. The intrinsic value OF
this array OF figures lies ia the fact
that every department shows q
healthy favorable balance and the
recapitllation gives US a surplus
over the previous years receipts of
over $1,000.

Following is the comment of A. b.
Gray, of the Carson Weekly, on the
trial of w. w. Booth.
A Jury at Tonopah found w W.
Booth OF the Tonopah Bonanza guilty
of gross misdemeanor Bill wrote
np the County Commissioners and
District Attorney in bis usual style
when peeved. The conviction seem
ed to hinge on the meaning of the
word grease" and when Websters
Academic Dictionary was consulted
this is what it said Grease to anoint
or da2b with grease or fat, to lubri-
cate. to BRIDE" 1t Is a safe bet that
the next time Bill wants to lubricate
or daab the county officials he will
use something besides grease. +"
Judge Walsh sentenced Booth to six
mont tbs in the county Jail of Nye
county. While we sympathize with
o member OF the craft in trouble, yet
we feed that public officials should
receive fair treatment and not be
subject 20 destinations Got founded
on fact
During the progress OF the trial
two prospective jurymen were ar
raigned for contempt. aud it is not
unlikely that other contempt cases
will bob up pretty soon.

Japan's Curious Museum.

Probably the very Oldest museum In
the world is that ut Nara. the ancient
capital Of Japan. 1t was founded in the
year 756 A. D.. and all the articles
therein are Of an earlier date. for. al
though Nara has gone through all the
vicissltudes Of the empire. not one new
article has been added to the .collec-
ton. The museum is in safe and care
full custody. and its doors are opened
only once every year. On that day a
committee goes over the collection. tab
ulates 1t and compares the list with
those made previously. The 5000 ar.
ticles In the collection are of lacquer
ware. decorative furniture, enamel
ware. cambric-like fabrics and of other
kinds and are among the very finest
Of their species that the world has pro.
duced. Some come from China and
some from Korea. but most Of them
appear to have been brought from lands
further afield.

Measuring Electricity.

The terms volt, ampere, ohm. watt
and farad. met with In works on cleo
trlcity, mean very little to most people.
The volt is the unit of electrical pres
sure, the ampere the unit of current
strength, the ohm the unit of resist
ance, the watt the unit of electric pow
err, and the least of all known. farad.
the unit of electrical capacity.
Current strength is determined by d.
viding the pressure by the strength;
thus the number of amperes of current
strength is equal to the number Of volts
divided by the number of ohms. The
watt indicates the amount of electric
energy being used when an ampere Of
current is flowing under n pressure Of
one volt However. the term kilowatt,
or 1000 watts. is more generally used.
The unit of electrical capacity. the
farad. will contain one ampere of cur.
rent ut one volt pressure for one second
Of time The farad il divided into a
million equal parts, each part termed
the microfarad, and this is the term
most used In stating electrical capacity.

corn. It's all right and you don't need

Gold In Carats.

We often hear people In speaking or
their watches say, 1T is an IS carat
case" Others speak Of IA carat watch
es or 90 carat or solid gold rings. When
you see the marks on watch case or
the inside of gold ring they read Is *.
or ii X, or whatever number of carats
the maker wishes to indicate. a piece
of gold jewelry marked Is X, or Is
carats, means that II is thrce-fourths
pure gold. In arranging this basis Of
marking things made Of gold abso-
lutely pure gold is called "a carats.
Then II two, six or ten twenty-fourths
of alloy has been added the amount Of
the alloy is deducted from twenty.
four, and the result is either %. IS or
IA carats fine, and so on. On ordinary
articles made by jewellers the amount
of pure gold used is seldom over IS
carats, or three-fourths. Wedding rings
land these are considered solid gold
are generally made % carats fine
that is. there are only two twenty
fourths parts of alloy In them.

Computation of Time.

There is no uniform rule adhered to
by all the cases as to the computation
of time where the last day for the do.
ing of an act falls on Sunday, states
Willis A. ostrich in Case and Com.
ment The rule sustained by the weight
of authority is that where an act is re-
CURED to be done within given time
and the last day of that time falls on
Sunday, the act may be done on the
Monday following.
The rule as thus announced has been
established by statute In most states
providing that, If the last day on which
an act is to be done falls on Sunday
or holiday, that day is to be excluded
In the computation of time. Under
these statutes the general rule is that
when an act is to be done d day
which happens to be Sunday 1t may
be done on the Monday following but
