SENATOR HENDERSON'S
MINING BILL

Some time ago famous mining
case was tried and decided before a
jury in a southern county court. That
case decided the issues that had their
origin in the present mining law per
tanning to the apex rule. The jury
was composed OF men who were es-
sentially familiar with all the rules
and regulations of the present day
mining in this state. Their decision
was against the apex law.
II is fitting that We take that de-
cision as an expression of expert
opinion. 1t is not fitting that we who
are unschooled in the operations of
such a law and unfamiliar with the
conditions which it creates should
pass an opinion upon whether or not
1t is good law, but 1t is entirely prop
er that we take the judgment of the
men daily engaged in an occupation
vitality concerned by its terms. II
therefore little becomes the editor of
the Nevada State Journal to criticize
the efforts OF Senator Charles B. Hen.
derson to put through congress a bill
pronouncing void the terms OF an
act which mining men say Is PERM.

cast into the discard the apex rule in

THE LEGAL MIND
From Case and Comment.

From Case and Comment.
 The average man does not possess the legal mind; and hence the average man is not competent to adjudge cases at law. Because he possesses fair sense of justice and right by no means estab- fishes his competency to adjudge law. The gist of the competency requisite for the judge is the ability to admeaspre the morality of laws. The admeasurement is properly performed in particular case when the judge has interpreted that case in law; that is to say, when he has de clared the true status of that case before the laws applicable to it; when he has adduced from those laws the morality justicially applicable to that case-and which, in all probability, is inapplcable to any other case. Not only is legal skill and knowledge necessary for such expert adjudication, but the possession of the legal mind-the peculiar mental cast which we properly suppose to be an idiosyncrasy and not an acquirement lis necessary. if adjudication Is to reach its highest possible validity and merit.

FACTS TO REMEMBER
From the Montgomery Advertiser.

IOIl tllc NlOHtBOlitcIy <auNtI tlSSI.
 Remarking that "all good German peo- pie are dead'' Stephen Luzanne, editor Of the Paris Matin, who is in this coun- try, reminds us of the following facts: The Germans took $s,000,000,0 600 in cash indemnities from the towns and cities of Belgium, and that this must be re- turned; that of the 150,00O cars and l2OG locomotives we exact of Germany, bu. which the Germans complain is exorbi- tant were part of the railway equip ment taken from Belgium and France, There were 350,000 homes destroyed in France alone, Luzanne thinks 1t would take 100000 men 20 years to rebuild these.
 The New York Times recalls, also. that In June of this year member of the Prussian House of Lords outlined Germany's demands upon the allies, in- cluding one item as indemnity of $45,090,- 00t0oo. "As Germany proposed also to take much territory says the Times. it must be admitted that reparation to the extent of 45,OO0.oOo,Ooo without territory is reasonable proposal. Her ability to pay may be inferred from her ability to finance the war and endure taxa. tion."

HELIGoLAND CHANGES HANDS

HELiGoLAND CHANGES HANDS
 From the New York Herald.
 It was in 1890 when the relations be- tween the British and German empires were of the most cordial description, that one of the greatest indiscretions ever committed by an English premier took place-the turning over of the island of Heligoland to the Kaiser in return for the protectorate of Zanzibar.
 Lord Salisbury was then directing the foreign affairs of the empire, in addi- tion to being head of the government. He was approached cautiously by William IPs ambassador at London. With true Prussian craft the latter pointed out that the gray rock in the North sea was use less to Great Britain and that his master desired it only for sentimental reasons. After all--as his excellency suggested what was it more than a small German summer resort under a foreign flag? The prime minister saw Eight through Prus- sian eyes. announced his decision to Par liament. and there was no discussion on the subject.
 Great Britain only woke up few dAys after the bargain had been consumpated. Every German ship available was dressed with flags and took part in the process sion that went out. to take possession. And hardly had the standard of the new owners been raised than work was be- gun on the fortifications which were to make the island q thorn in the side of the allies from August. 1914, until the other
 day.

prevalent twenty years ago and fac tory to maintain it's production must have contented employees.
 The government has been largely instrumental, since war was declared on Germany, in bettering the condi- tions of workingmen and their fam lilies. Model towns have sprung up at the various shipbuilding plants and in other places where war work was be- ing done. The first residents of Buck man village, built by the emergency fleet corporation for workmen at the yard of the Chester (Pa.) Shipbuild- ing company, have just moved into 50 completed houses. Altogether there will be about three hundred dwellings, more than one hundred apartments and large boarding house, with &C., commodations for approximately one persons.
 The houses are individual in design Miniature hills on which the village is built and irregular streets, with front and back yards and numerous shade trees, give it most picturesque and inviting appearance.
 The Tennessee company of Birming- ham was pioneer in welfare work for it's employees. Its plan of erecting model homes, establishing schools and playgrounds and promoting commun- ity life, has attracted national at tention. The company is at present building model town at its subsidiary Chickasaw plant near Mobile and is adding several hundred pretty homes to the large number already erected at Fairfield.

President Wilson Will
 Attend Peace Conference

WV ''es Roosevelt ell. was na.l',y President a but as he travelled on a United States man-of-war and did not journey through foreign territory, he was technically within the confines of America.
 President Taft crossed the Mexican border to shake hands with President Diaz, but this ceremony was soon over. President Wilson, in deciding to cross the Atlantic for the purpose of addressing the peace conference and shaping in person some of the more difficult policies that will con- front the delegates, has upset all precedents. The fact that he con- ceives it to be his duty to be present should be sufficient to merit public approval and silence the criticism of his political opponents.
 It has been the custom for Presi- dents of the United States to remain on American soil. Many people seem to think there is some law-an un- writer law, at any rate-which would prevent the chief executive from go- ing abroad. The constitution is silent on the subject, and as to custom, President Wilson has always shown a liking for doing the unusual. He is the last man to be governed by prece- dent, especially when precedent in volved no question of principle.
 The whole world recognized Presi- dent Wilson's leadership in the prose- cution of the war. The whole world recognizes him today as a statesman of quick intuition and undaunted courage. His voice in the conference will be not only magnetic, but it will be more than convincing if knotty points are in dispute.
 All patriotic Americans will wish the President Godspeed when he is ready to sail.

THE FEMALE or ZINE SPECIES


 Nothing more impudent or more char acterstic of the Prussian race has been perpetrated since the war began than the appeal of the women of Germany to the women of America to save the vaa- quished from disaster" It is so plain that the beaten men of the fatherland are simply hiding behind the petticoats of their sisters, their cousins and their aunts that it is hard to believe that the dodge could deceive even that eminent apostle Of pacifism and maudlin sentimentality, Miss Jane Addams.
 If the Germans had ever shown the slightest respect for either their owp women or for other women who had the horrible misfortune of falling into their beastly hands some attention might be paid to this feminine plea
 Furthermore, although it is hard for Americans to draw an indictment against the women of any nation. it can not be forgotten that the mothers and daughters of Germany were the stanch- est defenders of each and every atrocity committed by their husbands and fathers in other lands. And 1t is not forSotten that the German women in Antwerp ana other cities were the most eager looters when the order to get out was given.

sUPERcHEEsE

!
 Irwin s. Cobb in the Saturday Evening
 Post.
 If perchance we had fared into one of the northeastefn provinces of France we were reasonably certain the meal would be rounded out with helpings of cer- tain kind of cheese that is indigenous to those parts. It comes in a flat cske, which invariably is all caved in, and scuashed out, as though the owner had sat upon it while bringing it into the market in his two-wheeled cart.
 Likewise, when it's temperature goes up it becomes more of liquid than a solid; and it has an aroma by virtue of which it secures the attention and com mands the respect of the most casual passerby. It is more than just cheese. I should call it mother of cheese. It is to other and lesser cheeses as civet cats are to canary birds-if you get what I mean-and in it's company the most boisterous Erie or the most vociferous Camenlbert you ever saw becomes at once deaf and dumb.
 It's flavor is wonderful. Mainly it is found in ancient Normandy; and, among strangers, eating it-or, when it is in an especially fluid state. drinking it-comes under the head of outdoor sports But the natives take it right into the ssn~ house With themselves.

THE MAGNANiMoUs VICTOR

From the Chattanooga Times.
 The French soldiers on the western front in the neighborhood where the Ger man commission sent to sign the armi- stice pact passed gave an exhibition of the magnanimous and sportsmanlike spirit exhibited by the American sailors in Cuban waters when the ships of the Spanish fleet surrendered or were shot to pieces: Don't cheer, boys" said the American officer, 'the poor devils are dying!' As the German plentipotenti- aries passed through the lines under con- voy, French soldiers gathered about the passing cars. but, we are told. mo shout or even loud remark was heard from the crowd of onlookers. The incident passed in such grave quiet on the part of the German officers gathered around the cars could be heard" It was not until after the convoy had passed far to- ward the German border that the burst of joy and enthusjasm came from the French lines, but there was no lack of either then. The delirium along the front was almost equal to that exhibited here and all over the world among the civi populations when the peace announce ment was made.
 But the French did not cheer while the envoys were passing, for the poor devils were dead"' That Is the spirit that animates the people engaged in the war for truth, justice. righteousness and civ ilization.

LUKE M,LUKE, SAYS

Itsn't it wonderful with what pa- tience and fortitude the men folks pore up under the hardships of having the churches closed during the fiuey cpl demic?
 And what has become of the dirty restaurant in each small town that was named "Delmonico's"'
 Another cheerful liar is the man past 50 who says that he is feehng as young as he ever did.
 The hest way to get rid of company when company stays too long IS sa treat company like one of the family.
 An argumentative cuss isn't very pleasant But he is lots better com ' many than the telly-spined man who agrees with everything you say so ne won't offend you.
 After figuring the matter out We have come to the conclusion that the prohibitionist's idea is that no man should be any thirstier than he is.
 Every married man has two disposi- tions--one of them for home and one for public. And this goes for every married woman, too.

 A stubborn man is durn fool who holds to his opinion after you have ex' pressed yours.

Why is 1t that when a man is almost completely bald he insists on having his hair trimmed twice week. Any married woman can tell you that married man doesn't smoke in the house because he likes It. He does It because he knows his wife doesn't [ like it.

If Count Hohenzollern
 Returns to Germany
< < *

6NHE report that former Emperor
 U William may be permitted to return to German soil opens an in- teresting field of speculation. A cor respondent, who recently described the appearance of William when he reached Holland, said he looked like man who was merely waiting for the. storm to blow over.
 It is not improbable that the ex- Kaiser, who abdicated only at the last moment and because the pressure was too great for him to withstand, may cherish a dream of regaining his lost power. As long as he is alive and en- joys freedom in his movements, he will be rallying point for the moh- archists of Germany. He may still have a strong following among the aristocratic class who are being shown mo favors by the present German gov ernment.
 should the socialists, particularly the more radical branch of the party, who are bolshevists, go to the ex- treme and try to exclude not only the upper classes, but the well-to-do peo- ple of Germany from having any voice fin the government, they are sure to overreach themselves and create condition of affairs which will breed Hohenzollern plots. q
 We do not know what the temper of the German people is toward the Hohenzollerns nor what it will be few months or few years hence. Will liam once enjoyed tremendous popu- ; slarity and has always protested that he was not directly responsible for starting the war. It would be a queer turn of events If, after peace IS de- clared and Germany becomes tran ,quillized, the Hohenzollerns should be found once more in the ascendant. Were the German people to set up republic with William at it's head, or a constitutional monarchy, the allies could not consistently object.
