Must Recognize Equality Of Duty
 (Concluded)

(Concluded)
 There is another thing about this; There is a sense ef equity and justice in all men. Men are willing to do their part if others are willing to do theirs. This country has seen divi- sion-a small one, and hope and be- lieye-on the part of some people who have been against this war. They are taking every opportunity they can to block this war. We have newspa- pers, we have societies and leagues and councils and things of that kind, that are looking for every opportunity to come in and stop or hamper or ham, string the activities of this government in the prosecution of this war. I know there are some of them talking busily amongst the laboring men, amongst the wage -earners or the men who We might say are in less affluent millionaires war, this is g. munition makers war; that in this war all this government cares about is to get the men in the field to fight; and they are going to put the expense of this thing all in the sape of bonds, so that those who toll will, by the sweat of their brow, mingled with the blood of their veins, have to stand the awful cost of this war. That is what they say; and they are working upon people, trying to prejudice them into the belief that this is war, like most former wars have been, where the wage -earner and the man in the humble walks of life has got to shed his blood and give his sweat in the prosecution of the war.
 Now, that is not true; but the best way to prove that it is not true is not war to have the money furnished to them by the people in the way of con- sumption taxes and other taxes levied upon the necessities of life. You are burining the candle at both ends when you do that. You are making the mans living higher and you are piling up the costs upon his back. When some body says that this means only put ting this burden on the backs of pros perity, 1 say LlIat that is q falIacy When we bond ourselves we are put ting it upon the backs of the men who are working today. They have got to pay the interest, and in less than one generation at percent you have paid taxes or at least a substantial amount

they are going to be good game sports men, as it were. They are going to come across with what the country asks them. They can not do any less than that and remain good Americans. They can do more by volunteering and making it less difficult to get a good bill through.
 I sincerely hope this amendment, at least, will be adopted, and that we can go before he people and defend the bill. Let no one here think that the people are going to be offended, that the bill is going to be unpopular be- cause it makes men pay what they justly ought to pay. There may be some unreasonable men that think it is unfair, but there Is a sense of fair ness in the American people which has evidenced itself in many ways and at many times. They know about what to say that I think that this idea of higher taxes, instead of being unpopu- lar among the people, is only unpopu- lar im restricted circles I want say that it's seeming unpopularity with the Senate is not reflected in the people at large, because while they are willing to pay the blood price, they want those able to stand it to pay the money price.
 l hope this amendment may be adopt ed, so that we can go before the people and point to this as a bill which con- clusively establishes that Congress is setting out on the right track, that Congress is going o see that justice is done. It is going to encourage the peo- ple, it is going to encourage our armies and our navies, to know their fellow citizens are willing to carry their part of the burden during their absence. We are just setting out now, just talk ing the first steps in this war. We ought to put our best foot forward when we start this march, the length and the difficulties of which we do not know We should be sure that we take the right step, and keep in step, until we reach the victory at the other end of the road.

The question of defendants sanity at
the present time having been raised

prisoners in the county Jail, a jury
was impaneled to determine whether
Doyle is now sane. The proceedings
are the same as in regular trial and
if the jury finds Doyle insane he will
be sent to the asylum. If he is found

changed so that only the most afro
tious forms of murder are classed in

OLD COMSTOCKFR
DIES IN CALIFORNIA

Stephen Edward Gillis, one of the
earliest COmstock pioneers, died in
Sonora, Cal, last Friday. He was an
intimate associate of Bret Harte and
Mark Twain during their careers in
Nevada. He worked on the Virginia
City Chronicle as a reporter and was
a printer and writer. He was about
so years old Carson News.
The Chronicle of Virginia City says:
"Mr. Gillis was among the last of the
famous early Comstoek printers and
newspaper men and for many years
was employed on the Territorial En-
terprise and at the same time as Mark
Twain. of whom he was a close friend
and intimate. His last work was on
the Chronicle before going to Califor-
mia quarter of a century ago"
ellis, according to the statement
made by one of his lifelong aequaaint-
ances, went to the Comstock in 1860
or 1861 and remained there until 1894.
He was an associate of Mark Twain's
and figured as a character in the
duelling story in "Roughing It." He
was said to have been a crack rifle
and pistol shot. Gillis had one daugh-
ter, but our informant did not know
whether or not she is still living.

OLD INDIAN FIGHTERS RECEIVE
PENSION OF $50 PER MONTH

The law granting a pension of $40
per month to men who saw service
after the war in fighting Indians, and
who have passed 81 years of ago, was
signed by President Wilson a year
ago, and is now effective A consider
able number of the old soldiers In
Utah are now receiving their pension
money, and no doubt there are a con-
siderable number in this state who are
entitled to the same privilege A year
or more ago Newt Cowan of Lane
City. who saw much service under
Generals Crook and Miles, filed appli.
cation for pension, but as the matter
dragged alon gmonth after month
without result. he finally wrote to
Congressman Roberts. who immedi-
ately called at the department of the
interior and within a few days there
after Mr.. Cowan received a letter from
the acting commissioner of that de-
partment advising him that his pen
sion had been granted, and that the
voucher would be forthcoming as soon
as the necessary papers could be made
out
The pension money will come in
very handy to the "old boys" who saw
much active and hard service during
the Indian campaigns of the '70s and
'S0s.-[Ely Record.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
TO COMMENCE FIRST OF APRIL

The campaign for the third Liberty
loan will be opened on the 9th of
April. the anniversary of the declara-
tion of a state of war between the
United States and Germany.
The amount, terms, and conditions
of the loan are dependent upon fur

as soon as Congress has granted the
necessary powers.
Secretary McAdoo chose the 9th of
April as the day to open the cam
paign as the most fitting date to call
for a patriotic response to the sum-
mons to duty to every American, to
ask from the people at home the same
fervent patriotism that actuates our
gallant sons on the battlefields Of
France and on the waters of the At

PURCHASE OF FIRE
TRUCK DEFERRED

At a special meeting held last even
ing by the City Council ii was decided
that no award for a motor-driven piece
of fire apparatus will be made at this
time. The bids submitted have not
beeen rejected, but will be allowed to
stand without action for the time be-
ing The City Council decided that
the interests of the citizens of Winnie
mucca would be best served if they
requested the presence in Winnie
mucea of a fire prevention inspector
from the Board of Fire Underwriters
of the Pacific. This inspector will
make careful survey of the present
fire equipment, including the water
supply. and upon completion of his
inspection will make certain recon-
mendations as to what equipment to
purchase. This recommendat ton will
carry with it an agreement for a re-
duction in the fire insurance rates. If
the improvements as recommended
are carried out. Insurance rates in
Winnemucca are abnormally high, due
TO the fact that the present fire equip
ment does not meet with the approval
of the Board of Fire Underwriters.
and by getting their recomm andations
now, prior to tie purchase of addi-
tional fire apparatus. and tie carrying
out of their recommendation. will
save the citizens many hundreds OF
dollars annually in fire insurance
premiums.

Board of Fire Underwriters reads as
follows
THE City of WinnemucCa. Nevada,
is desirous of having your recon-
mendations as to the proper fire equip
ment to install. so as our citizens may
enjoy reduction in the fire insurance

nished with a copy OF his recon-
mendations in writing. so we can .ake

stallation of a piece OF motor-driven

desire to have your recommendations
as to the type. capacity. etc.

GIGANTIC
PICTURE TONIGHT

William Fox offers "The Honor
System" for the appreciation of Ameri-
can Theatre patrons tonight. There
are 100000 prisoners drifting in and
out of our penal institutions yearly;
half a million prisoners are dis
charged from these institutions each
year; every year 1900 persons breathe
their last behind prison bars in this
country.
How to deal with these prisoners is
told in the gigantic prison film, THE
Honor System" Our regular prison
population is more than 10000 hui
man beings. Not less than $4,000 of
these are women, many of them suf-
fering for the sins of men. OF the
total prison population, 5000 are un-
der life sentences and will probably
die behind the bars.
Startling scenes taken in actual
prisons are shown in "The Honor
System" Yuma and Florence prisons.
Arizona, were filmed in this produc-
tion. Sixteen hundred horses figure
in the Mexican border battle scenes.
There is a powerful love drama run
ming through the picture, which is en-
acted by artistes and types famous in
the moving picture world. A picture
all thinking men, women and young
folks in America should see.

ENLISTED MEN MUST HELP
quired TO Be Allotted for Benefit
OF Their Dependents.

Every enlisted man In the military
or naval forces OF the United States
must allot for the benefit of a wife or
child an amount equal to the govern
ment's family allowance, with a maxi
mum, however, of half his pay and a
minimum of SIS per month, according
to the American Review of Reviews.
If he has no wife or child and makes
no voluntary allotments for other de-
pendents, or for other purposes, the
secretary of war or navy may require
him to deposit with the government at
per cent compound interest half his
pay. or so much of half his pay as he
1oes not allot either for his dependents
Or for other purposes.
This puts the man with dependents
more nearly on a democratic footing
Of equality with one who has none and
the better-paid American soldier with
the poorer-paid European with whom
he Is fighting
The family allowances are based on
a graduated scale depending on the
number of dependents, and are condi-
toned on allotments of equal amounts
up to half pay. In no case, however,
does the allowance exceed $50 for one
family. An ordinary enlisted man re-
ceiving $33 per month in foreign serv-
ice. If his family is large enough. may
be required TO alot $16.50 per month
and secure thereby for his family a to-
tai income of $68.50 per month.

EVERY WORD A WONDERFUL,
AWFUL AND THRILLING TRUTH

Though young in years, Empey had
a varied career before he went to
France to do his bit for humanity. He
had sailed around the world; he had
experienced shipwrecks and mutiny
he had served in the regular army of
the United States and he had worked
with one of the most famous detec-
tives in the country. He was in New
York when the Lusitania was sunk.
He waited for a time for his own
country to declare war. 1t did not do
so and after few weeks he would
wait no longer. He went.
Empey fought hard in the trenches,
and in writing "Over the Top" soon
to be published in this paper, he wrote
as he fought. He uses clear, vivid,
forceful English that every reader can
understand and thoroughly enjoy.
1t is probable that no other writer
knows as Empey does what il really
means to be wounded seven times; to
live for a year and half with mud
rats and shells; to go "over the top
in wild charge into the very jaws
of death; to grasp a gas helmet when
seconds delay means certain suffo-
cation; to get tangled up in barb-wire
with machine gun splitting death a
few yards ahead; to lie for thirty-six
hours wounded and unconscious in No
Mans Land.
The story, also. is full of informa-
tion that is of practical value and
very great interest to all Americans
right now. One reads in "Over the
Top" how bombs are made and
thrown. how trenches are dug and
consolidated. how barb-wire is used
to ensnare the charging enemy, how
machine guns are operated, how the
fighting men are fed and clothed, how
the soldiers occupy their time when
not engaged in actual fighting.
There is not a man, woman or child
in the United States today. who is
able to read, who is not vitality in
terested in all these things.
Empey lived war. He tells just
what the fighting men have done and
how they have done it. He knows be-
cause he was one of them. For year
and half. until he fell desperately
wounded in No Mans Land, this
American. battling at the side of the
British Tommies. saw more actual
fighting and real warfare than any
war correspondent, and more, prob
ably, than any other man who has
written about the war. His expert
ences are grim, but they are thrilling
and their recital is lightened by a
touch of humor-the same humor
that has enabled this boy to pass
through the scorching fires of war and
come out, wounded in body but sound
and sunny in spirit.
