SAM PLATT

Sam Pat is the main owner of the Reno Evening Gazette. Here
is what a said in that paper concerning the Pitman Land bill and
it's benefit to the public schools and university on Tuesday, March 70,
1916, as taken from a editorial in that issue:
"As long as the attacks on the president of the state university
we're confined to two papers and the animus of both a well known
be nothing than personal dislike, the Gazette thought it unnec-
essary to discuss the subject
"The president of the university is I'm Washington, D. C., because
a matter of greatest Importance o the university called him there. The
university is a government-aided institution, the United States has an
interest in it; it is broader than Nevada and the people of this state
ought to know those facts. Without discussing procedure prescribed
in the land bill now before congress-, which was introduced by the
junior senator at the request OF the state legislature, the fact remains
that this state has never received from the United States the area Of
public land to which Nevada is entitled. Washington, Oregon, Califor-
MIA, Montana, Colorado have all received land grants, making the small
grant to Nevada look insignificant, indeed. The school system of Ne
vada, the University of Nevada, as the head OF that school system, every
educational institution of the state, ought to be receiving income from
the sale OF lands that properly belong to the state.
"f Editor Buck will investigate as the Gazette las investigated we
feel that he, too, will lose patience over the petty, narrow-minded nag
ging at the university and its president, in which some of the state pa
pers-a very few, ndeed-are indulging'
Here we have Mr.. Patts endorsement OF the purpose of the Pitt
man bill in March. Today he is beating the beautiful atmosphere of
Nevada with uplfted hands and declaring the government alone should
handle the state of Nevada. The Gazette editorial proves one thing,
however, that the ever-blooming and evergreen candidate has lucid
intervals.
The Pttman bill, as its merits become known to the people, will
receive hearty support. The people are believers in the best schools
and also believers in the idea that Nevada, as we'll as other states, should
have its schools supported by the sale of land granted to the state by
the government. The bill has been mahgned, lied about, misinterpreted
and misquoted 81 often that when the real truth becomes known it will
be regarded as one of the most beneficial bills ever introduced in behalf
of the state of Nevada.

WHY GOOD TIMES LAST

The largest stock of gold N earth is in the United States. During
the three fiscal years ended June 80, 1916, gold imports we're 733 millions
Of dollars, exports 3S millions, showing a net gain of 1886 millions. This
is more than 10 times the net gain in gold imports during the proceed
ing three years.. No such increase in the stock Of gold V re-
corded before. Still more significant is it that this net gain all came
during the last fiscal year, and still continues.
Yet more astounding is it that our merchandise exports for the past
three years exceeded imports by the stupendous total of $500 millions
of dollars. This is nearly two and a half times as much a during the
earlier threeyear period. How have these excessive exports been paid
for? The gold imports have paid for scarcely one-eighth of this in
crease, leaving a balance in favor Of this country of 200 millions of
dollars. Part of this has been paid by the return to this country OF
American securities, but millions OF it must still be owed by individuals,
corporations and governments abroad to Americans here.
No wonder that many economists look for a continued period OF
industrial activity, redundant money at lower rates, with commodity
prices and wages to correspond, for some year to come. But the ques-
ton is, how an IL farmers and manufacturers meet the competition In
the worlds markets of the o warning nations when again they IRE
at peace, and bending all their efforts to undersen us so as to earn some
thing to make up their losses and pay their debts? No mind can fathom

The death of Henry Miller once more calls to attention the match
less advantages and opportunities of California and the Pacific West.
Here was a man, who as lad. n O this country a stranger with
a stranger tongue. He had been reared as a butchers apprentice, with
the limited education of such a trade, and he came to California with
nothing but his brains and his hands to give him a start.
He began here as a butcher boy, and he died the possessor of lands
that n acreage are said to twice exceed the entire area of Belgium. He
a industrious, sober, and farseeng. But with all these. had it not
been for the splendid opportunities of the land he chose for his home
such fortune.
And similar opportunities for success and achievement lie close
about lis in California al this day. There is many a poor lad here now,
when he comes to lay aside his life fifty years from today, will have
made a nam and a fortune greater than Henry Miller. The fields and
hills OF opportunity have hardly been scratched in Imperial California
and her sister states of the great Pacific Coasts. F. Examiner.

MR. WILSON A STEADY FIGHTER

Mr.. Wilson'S experience in having arrayed against him the more
arrogant influences of the country is not a new for presidents who
are worth while.
Life" quotes Miss Tarbel as saying:
Jefferson fought the Federahsts, including most of the rich and
respectable people in the country; Jackson fought the United States
bank; Lincoln fought the slave-hodng arstocracy and all its allies;
Roosevelt fought-here and there-the trusts, the railroads, the bankers
off and on, but Roosevelt is an aristocrat and has compassionate bow
els for his own kind.
"But Mr.. Wilson is not a aristocrat He has fought, according to
his lights, against the exploitation of the bodies and energies of the
common people to defend the interests and investments of the pros
porous At the start he would not fight in Mexico to defend American
investors; he would not take sides with Rockefeller in the Colorado
strike; he helped reduce the tariff; he alevnted the domination of the
money trust; he would not get us into the war, even after the LustanHa,
though he did risk doing sc, and though all society wanted to get II;
and he would not side with the railroads against the brotherhoods.
This man is for the mass of the people. He really is a great
democrat. He is a good hand to nip the tariff cobra, the banking adder,
the railroad boa constructor when that is necessary. 1t is his nature to
could slash around among them OF occasion, but he enjoyed their
society. His notion of government was always government by ans-
tocracy"

VOTE OF COMPLETE CONFIDENCE

The result of the deliberations of the respective legislatures of ST.
Thomas and St. Croix o N the question of Denmarks sale of the Islands
ter of this Nation. but the manner in which this result has been mani
tested thus far is to be taken a. indicating the complete confidence of the
Danish West Indian islanders that the change of possession and lille
glance will rebound to their good.
Both representative bodies it appears, have designated delegates to
present personally to the Parliament in Copenhagen their instructions of
recommendation of transfer; but, which is more, St. Croixc have been
told to recommend reforms to the home government in connection
msuar governments have acquainted Copenhagen with their approval
OF the American purchase proposal and it is not doubted that n immi-
lei popular assembly in St Thomas will bear III the decision of its
legislature
If the Danish power is not sure of itself in the matter, the islanders
arr setting an example of assurance on the part OF those most concerned;
a situation that will make its impression in both countries that ire
parties principal to the proposed DEAL and that should certainly
simplify the United States plans for assimHatng the people of these vafu-
able possession into its political ard social scheme.

Evidence is accommodating that the catlemen of the state art furnish

They have furnished, it is said, nearly all the funds o back the Platt
Miler-Kiborn attacks or the land bill They are O who is elected
if they can kill the land grant and keep the free range.
The Republican state platform endorsed the land grant for school
purposes; Congressman Roberts endorsed the Pittman Land Grant Bill
before the committee at Washington; the Reno Gazette edioriaHy n
dorsed the land grant as proposed by the Pttman bill. We would sg-
gest that Mr. P1att get in line with his political partner, his W paper,
and the platform of his party.

DOES NOT LACK THE EGO

Anne Martin, chairman of the Womans party, in n address I'm
Winnemucca last Wednesday evening, said:
AT the St. Louis convention gave Senator Pittman our suffrage
plank to incorporate into the Democratic platform, but he voted for the
substitute written by President Wilson, which a adopted, referring
the subject to the different states. And in doing this President Wilson
and Senator Pittman knew that the constitution of twenty states OF
the Union cannot be amended in this PARTICULAR
Is Anne trying to place herself o n a equal footing with President
Wilson when she censure Senator Pittman for voting for the suffrage
plank written by him?
For her enlightenment regarding state constitutions The Appeal
would call her attention to last Fridays issue. Not only is the con-
stiution Of each state in the Union anendable, but easily 81. with the
exception of New Hampshire and New Mexico.

A SENSIBLE WOMAN's VIEWS

Mrs. E. K. Foster, president of the Friday Morning club, To:
Angeles, has the following o say regarding President Wilson and the
Hughes "Special': Because of the international difficulties which have
been presented Ito our president, he is deserving of the greatest apprec-
iation and loyal support. The child labor bill alone should prompt every
woman to support him. The tragic picture of prominent social workers
traversng the country in a Hughes special under the guise of working
for suffrage merits only the opposition of every loyal suffragist."
