The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1916-11-04

In Nevada indications do not point
so strongly to the success of either of
the National candidates. Three weeks
ago it looked as though Wilson was
sure to carry the state. but since that
time there has been a decided change.
Governor Hughes has been stadily
gaining, and today it would seem to
be practically a tie between the two
candidates, but by Tuesday either n
is liable to win by a small majority.
On the Congressional ticket, the
election of Roberts is conceded, even
by the most partisan Democrats. For
the past three weeks the Senatorial
race has laid between Plat and Mil
Ter and today chances favor the cleo
ton of the former. Senator Pittman
was not a particularly strong candi-
date, but his 1000, 900 acre land grab
act was too heavy a load for him to
carry, added to his alienation of the
support of Judge McCarran's friends
early in the campaign.
AS to the Humboldt county ticket,
all the Republican candidates are
competent men for the several posi-
tions to which they aspire and should
be elected. However, the woman vote
is a new element and may turn
the scale either way. On the leg
islative ticket. Young and Swezy, the
two Republican candidates, seem GER
tain of election, with Quicker or Har-
dy, in the order named, for third
place.

party committee for the purpose of
getting out the vote on election day.
Probably every Republican knows of
some man who did not vote last
time. He should see Il it that the
man gets to the polls this year. Many
Republicans know of some friends
who have hitherto voted with the
Democrats, but who do not intend TO
do ii this year. These men may have
IL in mind to refrain from voting this
year. Their Republican friends can
persuade them OF Their full duty to
the country by urging them TO go to
the polls and to vote the Republican
ticket. There are a hundred ways in
which the average member of the
party who has never thought of the
matter can help win a smashing Re
publican victory this year. 1t all re-
solves itself down to the problem of
getting out the vote. Every Republi-
can can help do this and we hope that
every Republican who reads this will
at once resolve to get to the polls
himself and to get some other Repub-
lican to go with him.

is THERE A JOKER IN TT

The ehild-labor law, which was
made the object of the Presidents
spectacular visit TO the Capitol. and
which was passed in opposition to
the wishes and votes of the Demo-
cratic Senators from the Southern
states, is now under suspicion of be-
ing not what it claims to be.
The bill attemps to put an end to
child labor by prohibiting the trans
portation of the products of such toll
from one state to another, and says
that such product may not be so
transported if within thirty days from
the date of their removal from the
factory child labor shall have been
employed therein.
The question now arises if such
products may be removed from the
factory and transported from one
state to another, if such removal and
transportation take place more than
thirty days after the goods have
been finished. If this is the case. the
ehild-labor bill will fail of its pur-
pose-because all the offending man
ufacturer will have to do is to store
the goods for thirty days and then
put them on the market.
The child-labor law has already
been heavily capitalized by Demo-
cratic campaign managers-despite
the fact that the bill was brought up
for passage only by the votes of Re-
publicans and despite the fact that
the opposition and the flibuster
against it we're provided by Demo-
Gratis. 1t would now appear that
there is much water in that capitali-
cation.

ON THE EVE OF THE BATTLE

This will be the last issue of the
Silver State before election. and full
returns of the result cannot be print
ed in this paper before Thursday of
next week.
OF the nature of these returns from
the nation there can be but n re-
suit, and that will be that Hughes
and Fairbanks have been elected by
an overwhelming majority. OF all the
great pivotal states which usually de-
eide presidential elections, Governor
Hughes should carry them all. While
Ohio, Indiana and New York have al
ways been termed doubtful, the only
doubt in a presidential year has gen.
orally been as to the size of the Re-
publican majority, and that seems to
be the case this year. OF course, the
Democrats are claiming them all and
are going SO far in their f~atuousness
as to claim Minnesota, Illinois, Mich
igan and Wisconsin. When the votes
are counted, however, it will probably
be found that the Republicans have
carried each of these states by ma
j~orities ranging from $4,000 to
10000.

Charles E. Hughes is a member of
the Baptist church; his father was a
preacher of that denomination. What
would be thought-and said and done
If his campaign managers were to
put out AN Appeal to the Baptists of
America" urging them to contribute
money and other support for Hughes?
Can you imagine the fine rage OF the
Democrats, and how they would re-
vile such an attempt to introduce a
religious or sectarian element into
politics? Yet three men of Hebrew
faith who are concerned in the Will
son campaign management have sent
out AN Appeal to the Jews of Amer
lea" asking for money and other
support for Wilson. What about it?

Democratic campaign managers are
going to make one more try to cap
lure the German vote. For some
months past the Democrats have be-
lieyed that any attempt in this d.
rection was lost effort, but recently
they have come to the conclusion
hat the failure of Hughes to mention
any nation by name, in announcing
his America First" policies has been
d~ispleasing to the Germans. The fact
that common courtesy, if nothing else
should preclude a presidential a n
didate from mentioning f~avorably or
otherwise any nation at war seems
not TO have occurred to the Wilson
"touts."

GET OUT THE VOTE!

In this country there are more Re
publicans than there are Democrats.
When the Republicans are united and
when they get to the polls, Republic
a victory is assured.
This year, thanks to the nomination
of Hughes. thanks to the inherent
patriotism of Roosevelt and the great
bulk of the Progressives, thanks to
the nature of the campaign, thanks to
the Importance of the issues, thanks
to the aroused sons of nationalism
which renders intolerable the thought
of a continuance of the present ad
ministration in office-thanks, in
short, to the American spirit in which
the Republican party was created and
in which this year. it has been re-cre-
ated, Republicans are united.
There remains. therefore, only the
problem of getting the united Repub-
licans to the polls.
This duty falls, in the first instance,
to the party committees. We hope
that they maye have the fullest and
most helpful cooperation from all
the members Of the party. Every Re-
publican should forthwith appoint
himself a volunteer member of the

and earth and of all living creatures.
 But the germ evolved in the labora- tory has made no progress toward hu- man life and it is reasonable to say that nothing of the kind will come to pass.
 No department of science has con tributed so much to civilization or the joy of living as chemistry. We will never cease to marvel at the results of the laboratory. As wonderful as the strides in metallurgy have been in the recent years, even greater achieve ments are perhaps in store.
 But the average layman will be as skeptical about the synthetic diamond as the refined palate is unconvinced as to the nectar-like quality of chem ically made strawberry syrup or the toothsomeness of the cold storage egg. Moreover, who would care to own diamonds if they were no longer precious stones? Might as well fall back on paste jewelry.

THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER

not exactly for the joy of the working though there is joy in it, along with sor- row-but none the less for the sake of the working. They are men who are as truly ministers as those who wear the cloth as truly teachers as those who occupy college chairs-only without the dignity and pretense of those.
 Make it your ambition to be great re- porters," MT. Nelson said, ''and every thing else shall be added unto you.'' But not quite everything. Not only conscious ness of service well and truly done But the man who has been good report CT cannot fail. He may fall from more exalted positions after he has climbed to them laboriously. He may be-many times he is-reduced to want But there abides with him the blessedness of the as- surance that when he was a reporter, the greatest among newspaper men, he fought the good fight and kept the faith.
 MT. Nelson did not state the case strongly enough It is not possible to state it strongly enough. One must know the reporter as he lives and works to un- derstand him as he is.

RULES FOR THE AID MAN

5. Advertising should be attractive. The most attractive thing you can put in it is something that appeals to the self interest of the readers.
 "6. Be brief. Don't try to crowd all the reading matter possible into the space you pay for, so as to get your moneys worth.
 '7. Be human. Make your advertise ments as alive and warm as you can. Don't be too cold and precise.
 ''S. Tell the truth. When customers come to your store. do a little more for them than you said you would in your announcement.
 @. It is the duty of all honest concerns to advertise. That is the best way to crowd out fakers
 "10. Advertising is necessary to all forms of business which appeal to the public.
 'The newspaper is the street that runs through the minds of the community; your nameplate ought to be on that street.

BEAUTIFUL DERwENT VALLEY

David R. Williamson nthe Galloway
 (Scotland) News.
 Of all the valleys of Northern England my supreme favorite is that which, fold-
 ing to it's heart the incomparable sweet ness of Keswick Lake, stretches from Skiddaw to Scawfell Pikes.
 Shortly after first arrived there, on the confines of eArly winter, the snow some what unexpectedly began to fall; it fell amid the intense stiffness of the night, and on the next day the transformation of nature was supreme When I awoke in the morning the great yew trees in front of High Lodore were revelations of stainless, glittering white; flakes of snow were still wavering, dreamlike, in the tremulous air; the mountains were crowned-more marvelously than ever was Oriental king-with their far shining dia- dems of ineffable purity, gleaming at a height of 5000 feet above the lowly valleys and silvern lakes that slept in utter peace fitness below. The radiant autumnal tints still fingered like dreams of fading glory in tn ewoods beenath the hills; to the wild rose trees on the banks of the Derwent the bright coral berries still lovingly and picturesquely clung; there was a marvellous affluence of sylvan love- liness in the deep glens above the rivers. even 0 nthe confines of stern winters rein.

From the Charlotte Observer.
 The Union Republican reports that there is at an undertaking establishment in Winston Salem the body of a man Gin an excellent state of preservation The man died about a year ago quite sud- denly, and the Union Republican hears in timation at this late day that he was pois- oned. Therefore, it thinks that 'an an- alysis of his viscera" is in order. This reminds the Observer of a case at Laurin- burg Five or six years ago Greek em- ployed in railroad work near that place was killed and his body was sent to a Laurinburg undertaken for embalming. The undertaken did an excellent job, and then looked around for his pay. It was not in sight. After keeping the body for a considerable length of time, he con cluded that he might as well put 1t to a commercial purpose, so he mounted it in one of his show windows as a sample of his work The advertisement was kept there until it became a habit with passen- gers on Seaboard trains stopping at Laur- inburg to take a look at it in passing, the body being in plain view from the car windows. Perhaps it is there yet, and it Is to be doubted if there is another such advertisement in the whole country.

The Synthetic Diamond

It is of more than ordinary interest in these days of devastating war to hear that the chemist thinks he has discovered, or almost discovered, the synthetic diamond.
 The report fresh from the Geneva laboratory states that in the residue of particles after the separation of carbonic anhydiedes in the form of snow, by chlorophylous pyridine in so- lution and other nitrous organic liquids, have been found very hard and very heavy white tetrahedral and octo- hedral crystals which burned without leaving ashes and were insoluble in aqua regia, possessing, as far as the analyses made up to the present show, all the properties of the diamond"
 It sounds something like the talk of the old alchemists or the more modern Rosicrucians who had almost discov- cred how they could transmute the baser metals into silver and gold.
 Very startling were the reports from the laboratory of the biologist only few years ago that life was be- ing produced chemically. The creation of the lower forms of life by synthetic chemistry would, the biologist said, be followed in the natural course of evo- lution by the creation of human life. Such reports gave great cheer to the atheist for they proved that the ori- ein or the perpetuation of the human species was not dependent upon Su- preme Creator, the Father of heaven

Whats the Matter With Birmingham? ?

1 Already newspapers over the state are making satirical comments on Birmingham's backwardness in con- tributing to the fund for entertaining | the Confederate Veterans. At a lib- eral estimate less than half the money necessary for this purpose has been raised and the various committees are being delayed in their work. The reunion date is but little more than a month away and the deficit must be made up at once, lest Birmingham may have cause ever after to hang her head in shame.
 It is much to be regretted that in the state at large, and perhaps other parts of the south, the impression has been created that Birmingham is un- willing to do her part toward enter taining the veterans, privilege which any city in the south should be proud to exercise. Widely circulated rumors of this sort may have a depressing effect and may curtail the number of reunion visitors.
 However, no misgivings should ex- ist, either in Birmingham or else where. This city is to be the hostess to the Confederate Veterans next month and will play the part grace fully and well. Nothing will be lacking to provide for their entertainment and comfort.
 The necessary funds will be raised, but there should be no further delay.

A STUDY OF WILLARD

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
 The strict neutrality we maintained be- fore the Willard-Moran fight will not be abandoned now. But it is now possible to indulge in some reflections on out standing facts. Kansas keeps the fstic championship of the world There will be rejoicing at Leavenworth and thunders of applause in Atchison. Great Bend will unbend itself to the demands of this happy occasion, and Wellington will thrill with the consciousness that it's name con- notes still more of the right sid eof Waterloo. That epic poet, Walt Mason, may strike his Tyre in a minstrelsy to sing the continuing glory of Kansas. William Allen White may weave into this shining record tale obe preserved for the coming generation of Kansans who must write her historical romances For Kan ferent founts. Let her drink deep to Will lard now. even though she be a prohibi- tion state.
 Speaking of that might suggest to some minds whether the fact of living in a pro- hibition state may not account for Will lard and his championship, wrested from the evon Jack Johnson, who kept his ice cooler filled with champagne, and held against challenger from Pittsburg which nobody would ever call prohibition com munity. We brush the question aside, in deference to MT. Moran. who. whether he be prohibitionist or not, has shown him. self first class fighting man. Where we are willing to venture father is on line of inquiry whether life in a great city or one in a rural community is better for the making of a man. As a rule, cham pion fist fighters have come out of the cities. But that was before Kansas broke into the game. Now that she is in it, she raises a new problem, according to her invariable habit. It is hardly fair to pit a man coming out of the smoke and smell of Pittsburg against one used in inhaling the fragrance of the sun-kssed sunflow- CTS of Kansas.

The City Beautiful

While all seasons of the year invite attention to the true and the beau tiful in nature and art, it is in the spring that the value of city beauti- ful activities are most stressed. "Dress-up" and cleanup" are fa- miliar phrases now, and every per son imbued with civic pride should be eager to lend a hand to the further ance of the city beautiful movement.
 The landscape architect and the de- signers and builders of handsome homes have contributed immeasurably to the aesthetic side of Birmingham's development. But the humblest :. householder can help in the making of the city beautiful. Clean premises come first in the city's adornment; and then bit of greensward and a few flowers. Fresh paint comes next.
 
 tions, on the high plateaus, well kept lawns and well kept houses are taken as matter of course. But in the downtown" districts and even in the outlying blocks of cabins tenanted by the poor, a little garden skill will work wonders in transforming ugli- ness into beauty.
 In the laying out of Birmingham care was taken to have goodly spaces left between the sidewalk and the curbing for the cultivation of grass. The foliage of trees in spring and summer is grateful to the eye, but more restful still is the velvety sod. Pedestrians, however, are inconsid- crate and will not keep off the grass. Boys and girls and old folks, too, are alike offenders in this respect. Most of them hurry along in state of nervous excitement and in order to save a step or two or speed up" few sec onds they "short cut" across the ten- der verdue and trample it out of ex- istence.
 City beautiful clubs and civic reform CTS could accomplish much good if they would start campaign of edu- cation and continue it as long as might be necessary for training men and women and children to keep off the grass without the service of a policeman or wire fence. It would re- quire several years perhaps to get city folks in the habit of having a mind to grass and flowers and shrub bery in public parks and highways, but the object in view should be worth the effort. Let's try it.
