THE SAGE BRUSH HoNoRED

The Nevada legislature two years ago refused to
dop the sagebrush as the emblem Of the state but the
womens clubs took the matter uo and the present egis
lature formally declared it the state emblem 1t is
peculiarly appropriate The greater part OF the state is
covered with this hardy plant and it is about the only
thing that can thrive in that dry climate it deserves well
of the state for giving it vegetation it otherwise would
not have There is another bit Of vegetation that few
outside of the state are finds its home In all parts
of Nevada and that is the wild onion. Like the sage
brush it is everywhere and performs double duty It's
reddish purple flowers please the eye and its delicate
fragrance reminds one of home when grandma has cold
Besides with the sagebrush it forms splendid comblna
on for the culinary department of the state The sage
brush enables the longeared and eetng jack rabbit to
exist not only furnishing him in times OF stress the

him in eluding his enemy the lank and always hungry
coyote giving him something to dodge around well as

NO MORE RAILROAD STRIKES

The decisions Of the supreme court in the Adamson
law case seems to be far reaching and to contain some
elements not fully pleasing to the brotherhood leaders
It IS claimed that under it employees public utilities
such as transportation companies are subject to regula-
ton by congress just the roads are and that congress
can pass laws that will prevent strikes in such employ
menfs It is the countrys right to have its business pro-
tected and probable it will not be necessary to egls
late on the subject Labor now has eight hour day. and
as the court decides congress has the right to TX wages
AZ well as rates on the roads, there should be occasion
for further strikes Not only that but the managers and
their men are closer by Of the trouble Just settled
than ever before. Hereafter there will, perhaps be
quicker and fuller recognition BY each Of the oners
iphts and both will take broader view Of their mutual
relations and interdependency 1t is probable the rail-
roads will ask congress for permission to charge higher
rates it being estimated it will cost them $5OOO0OOO
more to run their roads than under the old arrangement
So as the people pay the extra cost of peace they are
certainly entitled to have it.
