WHY HE'S
A DEMOCRAT.

Jacob II. Schiff, New York banker.

told his hearers some things that prob
ably were not welcome to their ears.
Among other things he sad: my
heart is with the republican party, but
my common sense makes me a demo-

lop for his fellow lovers of a party
which has always proclaimed itself to
be the last word in efficiency and
sound common sense. II the trained
business sense OF Banker Schiff would
not permit him to vote for the party
Of his hearts affection, there must
have been a very substantial reason.
Mr.. Schiff was constrained to vote for

ever voted for democratic president,

ground" said Mr.. Schiff, II say with
out fear or favor, If you renew in the
next presidential campaign the tariff
the country, and show it that you
want a renewal of special privilege
and high protection, the people will
have none Of It. The people have
learned, the workmen and farmers
have learned and they cannot be mis-
led any further"
That is why Mr.. Schiff's common
sense makes him a democrat, though
his lifelong political associations have
been republican. The republicans
have been content to win elections on

succeeded so many times that they
thought the people would never wake
up to the hollowness and hypocrisy OF
their pretentions. They refused to re-
form the currency, though Mr.. Schiff
predicted the last panic nearly q year
in advance as a result of the old sys-
tenn. They refused to do anything
useful. They stood pat on the full din

THEIR is
A REASON.

The following editorial under the
heading THE Newspaper Courage"
recently appeared in the Sharpsville,
Pa, Adviser:
Once in awhile somebody gets the
idea that the reason the local paper
does not report every scandal that
comes to public knowledge is because
the publisher is afraid. That's not the
reason. The reputable newspaper, es-
pecially in small town, where every
one is a neighbor to everyone else,
takes no delight in giving publicity to
those things that have brought dis
grace to some family or heartache to
some wife or mother.
1t Is much more pleasant TO record
the good things that happen, to tell
about the incidents that tend to make
life more endurable and that uplift
rather than tear down, that bring joy
instead of sorrow, pride instead of
heartache.
SO, IL you don't always find in the
Advertiser the delectable bit Of gossip
that would doubtless make good
reading" and IL you are inclined to
blame the editor because he doesn't
print all the news, consider that some
home has had enough worry over un.
fortunate happenings and that the gos
sip and scandal mongers of the com
munity can and will gladly and ghoul
ishly give sufficient publicity to the
details to satisfy the lowest tastes.
Incidentally 1t might be remarked
here that the most complaint of cen
sored news comes from people who
have had in their lives some things
they are glad were not given news
paper publicity. ~

GREAT PROGRESS
IN AGRICULTURE
Expert Says All Valley Land in State
VIII Eventually Be Cultivated.

"A number of forces are now at
work in Nevada agriculture which will
cause rapid development" said S. B.
Doten in his address yesterday at the
morning session of the farmers week
series at the Commercial club. says
the Reno Journal. THE breaking up
Of the large ranches into smaller
farms, the development of irrigation
projects, improved methods of dry
farming, the growth of dairying, all
are causing marked upward progress
in agriculture.
with the development of under.
ground water supply every bit of the
valley country in the State can be
used for farming and ii will eventually
be utilized. There are large tracts
which never have been reclaimed nor
has an attempt been made to 60 so.
North and south the State is rib
bed with large mountain ranges. On
every little stream of water that runs
out from a mountain canyon to lose
itself in the sagebrush below we find
a ranch or two. These ranches are
dependent upon the mountain behind
them not only for irrigation water. but
for range for sheep and cattle. Long
after the last bit of valley land has
been brought under cultivation, there
will still be thousands of square miles
Of mountain country fit only for cattle
and sheep ranges.
IN the Eastern States we hear il
said that the old cattle and sheep days
in the HARVEST are at an end, because
| the range has been broken up into
bands of cattle and sheep are still
with us. Nevada is a natural sheep
| country and the mountain range coun-
try can be used for nothing else. Our
valley farms are dependent on the
range. A great many of them could
not and would not exist if it were not
for the range, for the only crops they
can send to the markets are crops that
will go out to market on the hoof. In
Nevada ranch and range are most init
mately connected and anything which
benefits the range is directly helpful
to the ranch country"
j. M. Fulton gave a very interesting
talk on supplying the home market
His remarks showed conclusively
where the garden truck farmer was
overlooking small fortune.
After tracing the growth westward
of civilization the speaker said:
"The production of feed for animals
has been going OH in this State for a
number of years. but the question OF
food for the people has been neglected
