Surety company withdrew the bonds

THE RIGHT THING
JUST As EXPECTED

On the twelfth day of last month,
without suggestion from any source
whatsoever. save our own cOnscienCcs,
the Independent filed with the county
clerk a letter to the board of county
commissioners in which statement
WAS made that an error had been
found in charge to the county on
election supplies. The primary cleo.
ton supplies had been paid for twice.
and il was proposed that restitution
of the amount be made This we pro-
posed to do by doing the county print
ing for three months at the rate of
81 per month. But it mattered little
whether or not 1t was decided to aC-
ccpt the printing proposition. The
pleasure of the board us to the return
of the money or giving credit therefor.
was agreeable to us. The board very
naturally decided that it was right
that full reimbursement for the over.
charge should be made. and in view
of the fact that advertisements are
now being published for county print
ing 1t was decided that the money
should be returned.
II seems that the Free Press and the
county recorder have been very busy
since our statement was filed, and at
which time the matter was made pub.
lie property and was freely discussed.
and an attempt was made to pervert
our action into hcnous crime.
So there is the whole story, the
Free Press promise to publish the
truth, Notwithstanding.
The efforts of the Free Press in the
matter are nothing more nor less than
a dastardly attempt to injurc the In.
dependent by foul means. The result.
so far as we are concerned, will go up
in Free Press smoke.
We believe that there are laws in
Nevada which provide punishment for
libel and slandcr. and for another Ger.
tain little crime that we have in mind.
At the proper time some really inter.
esting developments may be expected.

IRISH PARTY TO

LONDON. March S.-The Irish
party decided in conference today not
TO withdraw from the British Parlia-
ment at the present time, as suggest
ed as result OF the governments
failure to grant Home Rule" to all
Ireland. But they announced a deter
mination to oppose the LIoyd-George
ministry with every means within
their power. They made il plain that
they do not intend to hinder the gov.
ernment in measures relating directly
to the conduct of the war. They
adopted resolutions rearlrming their
faith in the justice of the allied cause
The Irish called upon their friends in
the United States to use their influ-
ence upon England to secure Home
Rule" for Ireland. and in making their
appeal for American help they called
attention to the principles adhered to
by President Wilson.

SENATE MAJORITY
BEHIND PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, March S.-An over.
whelming majority of the members OF
the senate stands ready to revise the
rules of that body in such manner that
the power OF the socalled little group
of wilful men will be broken.
II is expected that the debate on
the subject will take up week. The
new policy of the government to arm
the merchant ships is rapidly taking
shape. President Wilson is waiting
until the cloture fight has been con.
cluded before he will take any definite
action. He now believes that he has
the right to arm merchant ships of

RECORD BREAKING

WASHINGTON, March S.-All en-
listment records for the army of the
United States were broken during the
month of February. Five thousand
men gave up private life to go to the
colors. The record began to show
signs of break ng when the break with
Germany came. Itseems to have been
the prospect OF .-stive service in hos.

army If he can see active engagement
with Il foe. but he seems unwilling
to join the army unles. his services

will permit grazing on all ranges

How Every American Can Help

President Wilson has issued an Address to all the American
people. "The supreme test of the Nation has come" be said; tive
must all speak, act and serve together"
Putting the Navy on a war footing and raising a great Army,
the President declared, are the simplest parts of the great task.
Here are the principal points of the Address:
America must furnish food and all other war supplies, not only
for herself, but for all the nations at war with Germany.
2-We must supply ships to carry all kinds of material across the
ocean, defying submarines.
People who devote "their energy to these things will be serving
the country and conducting the fight for peace and freedom as
effectively as the men in the trenches. The industrial forces OF
the country will be a great international service army-the eff
cient saviors of free men every where"
the farmers of this country in large measure rests the
fate of the war;"
country expects %middlemen and merchants to forego unus-
ual profits.
is the time for America to correct her objectionable fault
of wastefulness and extravaganza"
