PLAN ON FOOT TO NAME A
SUB BOARD FOR SCHOOL DEPT.

As means of correcting the con-
dition which followed the election of
three Winnemucca members to the
county board of education, and con-
sequently left Lovelock without any
representation in school matters, the
suggestion that an auxiliary board
be appointed to handle the arrange
ments for the local institution has
been made, and will probably be ac-
cepted.
This board will be appointed, two
members by the Woman's Civic I'm
provement Club and two members by
the Merchants Association, and a
fifth member is to be appointed by
the four others.
This board. it is planned, while
without absolute authority, will prac-
tically take charge of conditions and
requirements of the local schools and
will, to all purposes, serve almost in
official capacity.
An alternative has been suggested
and it is understood a law has been
framed, splitting Humboldt county
into two school-board districts, which
will assure Lovelock an adequate
representation in case another parti-
san clash, as at Winnemucca at pres
ent, should result in a similar result
at the ballot boX.-[ [Review-Miner.

Where prohibition cannot win by
open and approved means. the news
papers are to be penalized by such
underhand and disingenious legisla-

wonder that the friends of this legis-

boomerang effects of such enterprise.
There are multitudes of persons who
stand for prohibition who co not
stand for tapping the tills of the
newspapers as punishment to them
for failing in all instances to support
the prohibition propaganda. There
are hundreds of persons who would
vote for the cause on merit who will
be turned away from it if it adopts
the proposed tactics. The measure
is condemned in public intelligence
because it does not harm the ones
against whom it is professedly direct
ed-the brewers; because it assails
the freedom of the press. which is
the freedom of the people; because
1t represents tactics that are discred-
