wife's duty to revere, worship NJ
and obey her husband in every n
thing She has no individuality
except his; no desire save his.
No matter what he orders her to
do she must do it unquestioning
and thankfully-for from one so
high and sacred every command,
no matter how humiliating the
action ordered may be, has the sacredness
of it's source, and therefore can be nothing
but ennobling So even blows or beatIngs
are to be taken gladly-or without protest;
for is it not blasphemous to protest
against the chastening Of the Lord, and is
not the German husband the lord of his
wife? So runs their philosophy.
But this attitude was made worse by
the German militarism. If a man was so
superior to a woman, he became when an
officer very god. To further the schemes
Of the military rulers and to prepare the
people for the crime they are now perpe-
trating they were carefully taught that
the uniform could do no wrong" 1t did
not matter what the officer in the uniform
did-once in it any action of his, no mat
ter how despicable, shameful or wicked,
became, if not exactly glorious, at least
something neither to be resented not criti-
cized For to criticize or resent was to
insult the uniform, and with this symbol
the whole army and sacred edifice of mil
itarism.
It was and is a current saying in Ger
many that "a man does not become a
human being until he becomes an officer"
II they felt thus, what was a wOman-who
is of necessity neither a man nor an Of
ficer?
With these ideas their creed it is not
to be wondered that the German wife or
not wife found herself in the position she
is in. The same simple directness with
which the German uses poison gas, fire,
woman and baby killing, submarines and
airplanes to clear his path in war, he
showed before the war in clearing his
path on the street.
If woman got in his way, or did not
move aside quickly enough to suit him,
a slap in the face or a vicious thrust with
the hand sent her out into the gutter.
Such blows by staggering officers on the
streets of Berlin and other cities were too
common even to attract notice.
No civilians wife, daughter or sweet
heart was safe from them, even when es-
corted by their men. 1t was "the right
of the uniform"-nOt so very different
from the shameful old German right OF
the first night"-that any officer might de-
mand presentation to girls and wo-
men and order off their escort to wait
his pleasure. To resist meant for the
German civilian arrest and persecution.
To the foreigner it meant almost as great
unpleasantness.
Such an occurrence formed shortly be-
fore the war a situation that for time
threatened serious diplomatic complica-
tions. A certain American was dining at

Now that the saloons are to become
a memory. let us quickly get away
from the idea that the blink" is on
everything in general. Only two days
ago a prominent realty owner of Yer
ington, who has several saloon ten
ants, was approached by wet" who
remarked: We'll. I suppose you like
the idea of having a lot of empty
buildings on your hands, now that we
have prohibition? The reply was
Nothing doing, so far as / am con-
cerned Every building of mine now
coupled by saloon has been spoken
for by some one who wants to engage

Let us not be foolish in harboring
the idea that the closing of the saloons
is going to injure Yerington in busi-

known throughout the southern end

in Goldfield Thursday with bullet
hole in his head No reason is known

still alive. The bullet entered under
the right ear and passed through the
head. In the room also was found a
note to Charles Gruber and Thomas
Dartmouth. disposing of property
owned by Samuelson. Gruber. a

heard a loud report and Gruber en-
tered the cabin By breaking open the

SECUNDO ACHABAL
PNEUMONIA VICTIM

Secundo Achabal, the well known
sheep and stockman, died at his home
in Oregon Canyon, Southern Oregon.
on Sunday night at IL o'clock. His
death was sudden, as unexpected, and
was due to pneumonia attending an
attack of virulent influenza, the
scourge now ravaging the country.
Although a resident of Oregon, he
was perhaps best known in Winnie
mucca, at which place the principal
part of his business has been con-
Quoted for more than twenty years.
He was a man in middle life; plain.
unpretentious, unassuming man; an
everyday man, and come rain or
shine, always the same; a man to
trust and tie to. His word was never
doubted and never broken. Among
stockmen and business men no man
held a higher place in public esteem
or personal respect than Secundo
Achabal. AS a friend he was true
and faithful, and always there. To
his men he was just. gentle and con-
siderate; always thoughtful of others,
/ the heavy load was his and he shared
their every hardship. OF sterling
honesty, he was true and faithful to
every trust and obligation of neigh
Dor, citizen and friend.
He was beloved as few men are
loved; as few men he could be
spared; and as few men he will be
long and affectionately remembered
In his death the community loses an
exemplary extraordinarily friend.
AS in life he was gentle and uneom-
planning, so he was in death. He
heard the Call and knew his hour was
near, but not a murmur escaped his
lips; all hope gone, the Fell Sergeant
found him patient, tranquil and with
out fear, cheerful to the end He
passed into the Silence with the quiet
courage of a man that had never
wronged his fellow man and had
nothing to fear from the Hereafter
whatever this may be.
A mother and father in old Spain
with three brothers and sister here
are left to mourn his untimely end
| many a sad heart, both in Humboldt
and Malheur, goes out in sympathy
to them. They do not mourn alone.

WANTS THREf-CfNT
RAILROAD FARES

Declaring that the people of Ne
vada, Arizona and New Mexico are be-
ing unjustly Disseminated against in
the matter of railroad passenger
fares, J. F. Shaughnessy. first asso-
ciate railroad commissioner of this
state, has taken the matter UP with
Edward Chambers, director of traffic
of the railroad administration in an
effort to secure an adjustment
In a letter to Mr.. Chambers, Mr..
Shaughnessy points out that the fares
on the railroads of Utah, Wyoming
Montana. Idaho and Eastern Wash
ington and Oregon are uniformly
three cents a mile. while on the
Southern Pacific railroad in Nevada
the fares are basically four cents a
mile on the main line and five cents
on the branch lines.
His letter to Mr.. Chambers in part
is as follows.
"As the trunk lines serving these
territories operate under practically
identical circumstances and condi-
ions. | believe you conceded that
here was no justification for the dis
riminations in question, and If | re-
all correctly you stated that you
understood from a conference you
lad with Garret Fort that an adjust
lent would soon be made whereby
hree-cent fares would be basically
pplied to traffic in Nevada, Arizona
nd New Mexico.
"As a result of the withdrawal of
GRIP book and round-trip privileges
which our people enjoyed prior to
government operation, the increase in
heir transportation charges ranges
rom 25 per cent to 86.4 per cent, and
hey are complaining bitterly regard
gn the discrimination which is being
imposed upon them by the govern
1ent, compared to other sections of
he intermountain country.

nation. that l conferred with Garret
Fort, assistant director of traffic, on
two occasions during the summer re-
garding the matter of this adjust
ment The questions relating to spar
sity of population and traffic density
were reviewed. While the population
in Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico
is sparse. 1t is equally sparse through
out Wyoming and Utah along the
lines of the Union Pacific railroad.
and the density of traffic covering
both interstate and state traffic on
practically all of the transcontinental
lines is fairly comparable.
"Will you kindly advise if the rail-
road administration will make this
adjustment in the near future, or if
there are difficulties in the way of
such action being taken promptly, will
you kindly indicate what they are =?
AS before stated, our people are clear
ly unable to see why they should not
receive the same protection from the
government that is being accorded
other sections of the country"
