The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Medicine is taken in
ternally and acts thru the Blood on
the Mucous Surfaces of the System
thereby destroying the foundation Of
the disease, giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.

VI CLOSE OF A
STRENUOUS SESSION

Although the session OF Congress
which will close on Sunday has been
a short one, il has been an extremely
strenuous time for members Of both
houses. In addition to the unusually
large appropriation bills, containing
many new items, there have been
numerous measures Of a general ma
ture which not only required close
study, but brought the members much
correspondence with their constitu-
ents. There has been no eight-hour
day for members Of either the Sen
ate or House. and for many of them
there has been a s~even-day week OF
work. Unlike President Wilson, the
Senators and Representatives have
not been able TO devote their fore
moons to golf. As the sessions have
opened at II o'clock or earlier each
day, the members have found it nee
essary to be in their Offices before
nine in the morning in order TO look
after their correspondence before go
ing to their seats in the legislative
halls, and have lad to work until six
or later to finish up their Office work
after the daily sessions have closed
Many a man has worked late into the
night on legislative measures in which
he took an active interest. When
final adjournment comes OF March 4
the opportunity for a little relaxation
will be greatly appreciated.

The nuisance for the man who has
acquired great financial usu-
ally is that he doesn't know what he
wants. Possessing the and
feeling the normal necessity to have
recourse TO them, he looks about for
something to want, and he selects the
most costly thing. The acquisition Of
this most costly thing always involves,
In practice, the separation of the rich
man from society. Thus, he will ac-
quire a large estate, or several large
estates, and cut himself off from the
world by gates, doors. miles Of drive,
lodge keepers, menials, and secreta-
ries. Or he viii acquire a 2,0O0-ton
yacht and cross the Atlantic privately.
though less quickly, less comfortably,
and even less privately than on a great
liner. Or he will keep a private or
chestra, instead of being seen at con-
certs. All which, though magnificent,
is antisocial and silly, and is secretly
felt to be 50 by the rich man when he
happens to wake up in the middle of
the night and can't go to sleep again.

FIRST PRINCIPLES OF SAVING
Men Must Lock TO the Future " There
Is 10 Be Any Progress Made
by the World.

Socialists claim that the world would
be better of if every man received and
consumed all that be produced so that
nobody could accumulate wealth or be
come more prosperous than his neigh
t1r. II all men were equally strong.
intelligent. honest and industrious.
such a state might be possible: but the
superman must come first.
If a small group Of men living by
themselves save nothing and do no
work to improve their future, they
will not progress. They would have to
build and otherwise create real wealth
for future use. or they would remain
barbarians. The abOrigines Of Amer
lea. Australia and most Of Africa lived
from hand to mouth for ages. Ameri-
can Indians were practical socialists.
and they made no progress, though
they were physically strong and intel
lectuaIly bright. They remained barba-
rians because they gave no thought to
the future.
If a few men. beginning with moth
ing more than means of bare susie
nance, put aside every year tokens Of
value. such as gold, acceptable 10 them
selves. or build houses, make tools,
cloth and other things of value that
can be kept for future use they viii
improve their condition in life and
grow rich in proportion to their indus
dustry and thrift. The accumulation of
gold or other money is a secondary
matter. Real wealth can be aecumu-
lated in other ways, but money is a
convenience that s~tandardizes values
and has become Indispensable to our
form Of civilization.
When wealth has been accumulated
the community is benefited by its exist
ence. As il grows, roads can be built,
pure water can be brought into the
towns. etc. Such progress is impos-
sible If there is no store Of wealth
from which 10 draw 20 pay or sustain
the men who do the work before il be-
comes productive. Il may be said that
other members of the community could
give part Of the wealth they produce
while public works r being construct
ed. That is true, but it would be the
exact accumulation of wealth to which
reference is made, and its outward
and visible sign would be the roads
and the waterworks. BY giving part
of their earnings or products for such
a purpose they put aside something of
value for future use, in this case roads
and a water system.
Someone has TO save If any progress
is to be made. and the more that save
the faster win be the rate of progress
and the greater the prosperity of the
community. What the masses lack is
correct understanding of their common
interest.-New York Commercial.

OUR ARRANZA


Imitation is the sincerest fattery;
and Carranza is the latest to propose
a league of neutraIs. He has ad-
dressed a note to the United States
and other neutral nations suggesting
such a pact, with a plan to offer
mediation to the European belliger-
ents and threatening to stop trade
with them if they refuse the leagues
Intervention. Carranza is ingenious,
but be probably framed this proposal
under German instigation. 1t is only
the first, we imagine. OF many trou-

Generous Mani

A Scotch comedian whose frugality
is as notorious as he himself is famous,
had an engagement In Glasgow some
years ago, and as he had a friend who
could put him up for the week, no ho-
tel was going to get free advertising
through his residence within its walls.
His host had just become the proud
possessor of a son and heir, but his
pride in the kid did not prevent him
from giving the star all the attention
the most exacting guest could expect.
The Saturday night brought a taxi
to the door. and while the host was
carrying down the luggage the come
dian, after bidding his hostess good
by, pulled q handful of silver out Of
his pocket and said: do We ken,

ALL SESSION LAWS
SHOULD BIZ PUBLISHED

The laws enacted at each session
OF the Legislature should be pub
lished in every newspaper Of the
State, and no law should be made
effective until after such publication.
This is the custom in a majority OF
the states Of the Union. and has been
found to be the most satisfactory
manner in which to make the people
acquainted with new laws.
At present practically all acts
passed by the Nevada Legislature are
made effective upon approval, and the
masses of the people are unfamiliar
with them. A case in point is the
woman's eight-hou- Law, recently
passed by the Legislature, and said
to have been approved by the Gov
ernor and to be in effect at the pres
ent time. While penalties for the in
fraction of this law are unusually
severe, and il is made the duty Of the
district attorneys Of the State to en-
force its provisions, it is doubtful If
there is a single n of these officials
in the State who knows for a certain
ty that the law is in effect, or has
absolute knowledge of the provisions
of the act.
That Ignorance of the law is no
excuse for crime" is a w~ell-known
principle. For that reason the people
should be given the fullest opportu-
nifty of becoming familiar with the
new laws as they are enacted. In
many Of the states the session laws
are published in every newspaper Of
the state within thirty days after the
expiration of the session at which
they were enacted, and an appropria-
ton is made Il cover the expense, the
sum of money being apportioned
equally among the newspapers. Should
the Nevada Legislature adopt this
custom, an appropriation OF say So
900, divided among the thirty-five or
forty newspapers Of the State, would
no doubt be satisfactory payment.
And it is probable that the expendi-
ture of this sum for such a purpose
would bring better results than any
equal amount appropriated for any
other purpose.

CHIEF ARMSTRONG
REFUSES TOTAKE
THECOSSACK JOB
WON'T THINK OF HEAD
ING CONSTABULARY.
Former Member of BOOkbinders Union
Turns Deaf Ear to Proposition
That He Accept Place as Head
of Specially Created Force.

Chief of Police Hamilton Armstrong
will not accept appointment as chief of
the state constabulary force created by
an act of the Colorado legislature in
special session, according to current
report. Ham" is an old time men,
ber of the Bookbinders Union, and does
not propose that his record as a union
man and friend Of the working people
shall be marred by holding such a
position. He prefers to remain as
chief of the Denver police department.
Just the same, Governor Gunter paid
high tribute to Chief Armstrong
when the offer was made to appoint
him chief of the state constabulary,
because had Ham" accepted it would
have gone long way toward allaying
fear that the cossacks would be used
to crush labor if protests were made
against conditions of employment.
Scores of men in Denver and thru
out the state are bringing influence to
bear upon Governor Gunter in the
hope of being named as chief of the
state constabulary, position carrying
great powers and $1,000 annual sal
ary with expenses added thereto.
1t is said hundreds of applications
are being filed for places as officers in
the constabulary, but no one wants to
serve as private in the ranks. Moth
ing definite has been given out at the
statehouse as to when the cossacks
are to take the field.

Iron Workers

Joseph McClory, general president
of the Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers International Association,
was in Denver few days ago on an
official visit to the local union. He
states that the Iron Workers Interna-
tional Association, which has borne the
brunt of the battle for union labor in
many fields, is in a healthier and
stronger condition, both numerically
and financially, than it ever was since
its formation
1t has five thousand more members
than it had at the time when the steel
trust started out to annihilate this
sterling international union in the
same manner that the giant corpora
tion used against a number of other
international labor organizations.
President McClory is thoroly fami-
liar with the industrial conditions all
over the country, and he says that all
mechanics and laborers, especially on
the Atlantic seaboard, are well en-
ployed and receiving good wages.
