Even the stress of war has not
driven the public mind of the de-
cisiOn Of the Supreme Court in
validating the operation of the
Child Labor statute. The public
appears not to see into the un-
canny reasoning by which this en-
actment was cast down. Perhaps
there is cloud over the COM
munity brain. or perhaps the
facts have not been presented in
a thorough fashion. II we were to
concede that either perhaps" ap-
FLIED we would concede that a real
reason existed for Withholding judg-
ment until we knew Just what the
court had been led into by some
hypnotic influence. But we cam
not concede either condition. The
truth is the fundamentals of this
suit are so simple that the chill
dren il sought to protect can al
most understand il. There is no
maze of law through which they
must be led only to find themselves
incapable of eXtrication. 1t is a
simple. straight course to the goal
and one would think the Supreme
Court could not make OF IL a tor

precisely what the court has done
and not in years has the high bench
done anything to make itself more

OF the people of the nation.
Germans are sure that they can
win the Japanese nation over TO
their cause because of the inherent
beliefs of the laps that democracies
can adjust themselves quite as read
lily, and with better effect, to mon
archies than to republics. The de-
duction of the Huns Is that there is
more natural sympathy among
the Japanese people for the Ger
man autocratic fight than with the
fight of the allies for the perpetua-
ton of democracies. We are quite
sure the Hun logic is weak in this.
however. If the Huns were con-
tent to divide their autocracy with
the Japs the matter might be set
tied. But the Jap autocracy must
become Prussianized throughout If
it is to endure-and the process,
naturally enough. would be quite
as odious to the Japanese as 1t Is
to the out-and-out representatives

days of impending doom. buys any
thing which he does not need for his
health, strength, or efficiency is hiring
some one to do someting which is un-
necessary. He is hiring some one to
stay out of the essential industries.
He is competing with the government

JUDGE I. C. HART RECEIVES
HONOR FLAG FOR COUNTY
Washington Awards Flag In Recog-
milton of Splendid Results of
Liberty Loan Drive

Judge T. c. Hart received last
Sunday an honor flag which was the
formal manner in which Secretary
McAdoo announced that Churchill
County had gone "over the top" in
the Third Liberty Loan Drive.
This was expected by those in
charge of the campaign and was in
keeping with former records of this
county, which has not been content
with meeting the quota fixed by
Washington authorities in former
drives, but in every instance has ex-
ceeded its quota.
This has also been true in rela-
ton to the calls for enlisted men as
in this particular the response has
been prompt and generous.
The total amount of the drive is
about $4,000.
The flag is proudly waving from
the court house flag pole and has
been the occasion of proper pride on
the part of all who aided In the
great work.

DOLLAR SILVER PROVIDED
BY Sen. PITTMAN'S BILL
Measure Had the Approval OF Treas
ury Department and Has Been
Signed by the President

A bill fixing the price of silver at
81 per ounce introduced in the L. 8.
Senate couple of weeks ago BY
Senator Pittn2n, has passed both
louses and has received the Presi-
dents signature.
The bill follows the lines proposed
hy the meeting of Western Cover
nors and mining men held at Wash
ingeon last November upon the an
mounoement that Federal Reserve
Board was about to fix a maximum
price for silver at Sc cents per
ounce.
In addition to fixing price for
silver Senator Pittman's bill pro-
vides that the secretary of the treas
ury may withdraw from the treas
ury 25O,000.000 silver dollars to be
melted into bullion and used to set
tie our trade balances with Great
Britain, Japan. China and India.
The director of the mint is author
lied and directed TO purchase suffic-
rent silver bullion to recoin and re-
place the silver dollars thus taken
out of the treasury by the secretary
and to pay therefor 81 per ounce.
Tie bill also carries other provisions
to provide against the contraction OF
the currency and for the security of
silver certificates.
Now that 1t has become law 1t will
not only permit the government TO
retain its gold and settle its trade
balances In silver at a dollar or more
an ounce. but 1t will be of inesti-
mable value to the silver producers.
II will give silver a fixed market
value Of 81 an ounce. II will stabi-
iize and free silver from market ma
nipulations for at least a year and
probably for much longer. 1t will
take away from a few brokers in
London the power they have been
utilizing of arbitrarily fixing the
price of silver. IL win establish
precedent for the regulation of the
price of silver by the United States
that will never be abandoned. 1t

ment In 25 years looking to the pro-

CARSON LAKE LANDS WILL
Be OPENED UP TOMORROW
1235 Acres Representing 10 Farm
Prepared by Government

Public notice has been issued by
the Secretary of the Interior opening
to public entry tomorrow, May End,
1895 acres of irrigable land adjacent
to Carson Lake.
This announcement is worthy of
more than passing notice as these
lands in addition to being among the
choice acreage of the valley have
been prepared under the direct su-
pervision of the experts of the U. s.
Reclamation Service.
Four of the rs h. p. tractors were
engaged in the work of leveling and
the II units leveled present an OBJ
ject lesson in correct land prepara-
tion.
1t was largely with a view of prov
ing the greater possibilities of land
rightly prepared that such careful
supervision was given to these units
and the result should be gratifying
to the government officials under
whose directions the work was car
ried out
The entire acreage is subdivided
into sixteen farm units containing
from rs to so acres of irrigable
land and in addition to the II units
entirely 1eveled, there are two part
ly leveled and three are in the nat
ural rough state
The lands will be opened to entry
subject to the terms of the Reclama-
tion Extension Act, and in the event
of more than one application for the
same unit, contests will be decided
by drawing In the Office OF the Pro-
ject Manager.

OWNERS OF. MINING CLAIMS
MUST FILE NOTICE IN 1918
Intent to Hold Rights Must be Again
Filed With County Auditor
for the Current Year

There seems to be some confusion
in the minds of some owners of min
ing claims over the provisions of the
law regarding the performance of
assessment work on mining claims
for the currentSyear. The impress
sion seems to have prevailed that the
notice of intention to hold claim
which was filed last year covered a
period of two years. This Is an er-
ror. All owners of the mining
claims must file another notice of in
tention to hold the claims with the
county auditor this year. The law
on this point is very plain and If not
complied With may result in the loss
of the claims.
The resolution to suspend the re-
quirements of the annual assessment
work on mining claims during 1917
and 1918 reads as follows:
Resolved. by the senate and
house of representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in congress as
sembled. That in order that labor
may be most effectively used in rails
ing and producing those things need
ed in the prosecution OF the present
war with Germany, that the provis-
ion of Section 1924 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States which
requires on each mining claim locat-
ed. and until a patent has been is
sued therefor, not less than 500
worth of labor TO be performed or
improvements to be made during
each year, be. and the same is here
by suspended during the years 1917
and 1918: Provided, That every
claimant OF any such mining claim
in order to obtain the benefits of this
resolution shall file or cause to be
filed In the Office where the location
notice or certificate is recorded on or
before December 81, of each of the
years 1917 and 1918, notice of his
desire to hold said mining claim un-
der this resolution: Provided fur
ther, That this resolution shall not
apply to oil placer locations or
claims.
This resolution shall not be
deemed to amend or repeal the pub
lie resolution entitled. Joint resolu-
tion TO relieve the owners of mining
claims who have been mustered into
the military or naval service of the
United States as officers or enlisted
men from performing assessments
work during the term OF such SER
vice, approved July II, 1917"

.ALL|SON-BRAMWELL WEDDING
LAST SUNDAY At RENO
Proposed Quiet Wedding Frustrated
And Friends Accompanied the
Couple to Reno Sunday

The possession of psychic powers
by one of the young men who Is
daily rendering efficient service in
the Reclamation Office was respons-
ible for frustrating the intention of
Ralph Waldo Allison to have we'd
ding of which he was to be the chief
participant, conducted in accordance
with his own we'll laid plans, these
excluding from the ceremony all
others but the two principals.
The pressure was SO intense from
his Office associates and fearing ulti-
mate defeat OF his matrimonial pur-
pose he made strategic retreat
with the result that party consist
ing of Ralph Waldo Allison, Miss
Gladys Bramwell, a most important
factor in the arrangements, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray Thurmond and Paul Bran
don motored to Reno last Sunday
and with the official sanction of the
County Clerk of Washoe County, re-
paired to the Rectory where Rev.
Brewster Adams performed the GER
emony that united in the bonds of
matrimony Miss Gladys Bramwell
and Ralph w. Allison.
Paul Brandon served most ac-
ceptably as best man and the bride
was sustained by Mrs. Roy Thur
mond and following the wedding the
party repaired to the Grand Cafe
where the groom royalty ordered
spread BETTING so joyous an oc-
casion.
The bride is we'll known In this
city and is the daughter of F. 8.
Bramwell recently connected with
the Nevada Utah Sugar Factory, and
the groom is equally we'll known
through his activities in many pub
lie affairs.
The party returned to town about
A. NJ, but the memories of the
evening made them oblivious to all
mundane things, and the experience
of greeting the milkman left them
with minds undisturbed.
The youthful pair will shortly take
up housekeeping and in the mean
time they are the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Roy Thurmond.
