experience was against the French.
but u would be unworthy folly now
To inveigh against Germany because
hundred ard forty yCaTs ago she
furnished mercenary troops for our
subjugdtion, or TO inveigh against the
French because they were the bitter
foes OF our people In colonial days.
1T Is precisely as unworthy, pre-.
Cisely as silly and wicked, now to
nourish hatred against England.
"Washingtons troops included men
Of English and Irish, OF German and
French blood. But they were Ameri-

ask whether they were to fight Eng.

fought the foes of the American flag.
whoever these foes might be.

This scathing arruignmen' of the
powers that he is an extract from the
report of the committee on public
charities, made to the national con.
ference of charities and correction
here last night by Archibald l.. Bowen,
chairman.
The report continues: Only few
states have established merit sys.
TEN for selecting employees. We doubt
! that any state absolutely refuses to
recognize the ancient prerogative OF
the local community to exploit the in
stitution in its midst for the benefit OF
its butcher. baker and candlestick,

T, its scandal in some state service. and
the investigation always concludes
with the same sordid verdict against
some political machine that has over
stepped Itself in its exploitation of the
states unfortunatCs.
The money invested in public char

CAPT. h. JONES
VISITS HOME
Captain Harry Jones, Son of
Commissioned Jones, Here
For Short Visit

Captain Harry Jones, son OF County
Commissioner ii. j. Jones, arrived
from the west this morning and stop.
ped over for short visit with his
father. He expects to leave tomorrow
night or the following morning for
Fort Riley, Kansas. He has Just re
turned from the Philippines, where he
has been stationed for a little more
than three years. He is the picture
OF health. and in appearance is every
inch soldier.
Captain Jones was born and brought
up in Elko. He attended the Elko
schools after which he went TO the
University OF Nevada. There he took
engineering which he followed for
some time with great success. Dur
ing the period of construction down in
Ely he was at the head of half dozen
corps of surveyors and he performed
some splendid engineering feats. Then
he went to Cornell University. and
soon after graduating from that in.
sututiOn he entered the army. He Is
one OF the brightest young men ever
raised in Elko county.
Captain Jones is now in the caval-
ry, but he expects 70 be transferred
TO the artillery at an early date and
there is little doubt that he will be
commissioned as "A Major before the
end Of the year. II is also highly
probable that he will be- sent to
France within the next few months
/ Leslie Jones, his brother. who is
now in Texas with part OF General
Pershing's command. was recently
commissioned a captain. There is lit.
tie doubt that he, too, will soon be
? in the trenches OF France fighting for
/ the preservation OF humanity.
These two young men are an honor
to their parents and TO Elko county
They represent the highest type o
American citizenship, and the CON
munity in which they were born rc
joiccs with their father in the hig
positions they have attained.
Captain Harry Jones is today shah
ing hands with his many old school
boy friends and acquaintanccs. TC
morrow he will say goodbye TO go T.
the front. We hope that fate vii
deal kindly with him and that h
: will return TO us safe and well whe
o. the war Is over We wish him Go,
speed.
