Winnemucca Is Years Ago Today
From The Daily Silver State

Assemblyman Norcross of washoe county has introduced a bill
which provides for a convention to meet in Carson in April for the
purpose of revising the Constitution of the State. The bill calls for
the election of fifty delegates to the convention and for a special
election to be called February 18th. Nineteen thousand dollars has
been appropriated for the purpose of defrayfng the expenses of con-
venion and election. There is little doubt but that the bill will pass
but the question has been raised as to whether the present LegisIa-
ture has the power to call a convention. Technicaites should be
overlooked as far a IS possible, as it is of vital Importance to every
resident of the State. except a few high-salaried do-nothing officials,
that the Constitution be radically revised.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-10-14

a nasty consultation of war was held to determine the course of action to be pursued and in less time than it takes to tell it, the crowd uncon- ditionally surrendered to the dictum that a dance at the Nenana Club rooms would be fitting finale to the peace proceedings, and, accord ingly, the happy crowd made for the club rooms, invading the mems santum without any compunction.
 About thirty couples were soon joyously whirling around and those who didn't know how to dance were seen to be threading the intricate mazes of the latest style of fox trot. with some trepidation, but with the right spirit.
 A very enjoyable time was spent by all those who participated in this peace demonstration and, it was felt by the majority, that had such an affair been pulled off in the good old days" when the spirits of the party might have been reinforced considerably without violating the laws, the entire town would have been painted a flaming red.

NEWS WELCOMED
 BY NENANA|TES;
 CROWD PARADES
News of Acceptance by Germany of Peace Terms Is Celebrated
 By Many Nenanaites.

The receipt of an Associated Press despatch late Saturday evening by the Nenana News, containing the in formationn that the government of the United States had been inform ed that Germany accepted the terms laid down by President Wilson on January Sth last, and the issuance of an extra edition of the Nenana News, passing the hopeful news item on to the people of this city, was received with much enthusiasm by Nenanaites.
 The extra edition was on the streets just as the people were com ing out of the Coliseum at the con- clusion of the picture show, and, although the news was not of a very definite nature, the rather hopeful tone of it would appear to have made quite an impression, and nothing short of a parade by way of celebrating it would satisfy the patriotic crowds.
 The word parade was no sooner uttered than it took concrete form and a willing and enthusiastic party was rapidly formed. Those of this little patriotic group or "ringlead- CTS" who started the ball arolling wish it to be known that the action was spontaneous and none of them would plead guilty to having started it.
 Drums and taps, sundry empty gasoline and other cans, rattles, horns and various other types of noisemakers with plenty of people who were both willing and anxious to produce the noise, appeared as if by magic. A large American flag was also produced and the very first peace parade of Interior Alaska formed up at the Cooney hotel at about 10 o'clock Saturday night. The emblem of right and freedom was borne by Mesdames J. H. Rus sell, R. R. Myers, M J. Cooney, J. R. Bowen, M. O'Bryan, Maud Bishop and Miss Queenie Russell, and led by the bass and snare drums ably handled by Professors Herman Ros- burg and Ernst Berggren, the pro- cession, which numbered about twenty all told, started out.
 Every business house and pool hall in the city was visited and at each place the ranks of the paraders were reinforced and the musical strenth of the celebrants consider ably augmented. After going twice around the business section of the town, the procession, which by this time had reached "serious" propor- tions, swung down First and B and boldly invaded the Commission Re- serve, braving the dangers of the deadline and the wrath of the armed guard, and disturbing the slumbers of the occupants of the government cottages.
 Returning to the business section,

JUDGE BUCKNER WOULD
POPULARLZE THE HOME

The Kansas City Journal publishes
the following editorial on Judge
Thomas B .Buckner, of that city, a
brother Of r. r. Buckner, of Mexico.
who is well known in this city:
"out Of the wisdom Of experience
Judge Thomas B. Buckner Of the
Kansas City circuit court, has evolved
a theory which he proposes putting "a
the test II he a gain the consent OF
the Missouri legislature. It Is a most
interesting theory and relates to the
primal sentiment Of men and women
for home influences and the moral
effects Of a home upon the instincts
Of the human family. Judge Buck
ner believes that one Of the funda-
mental causes of domestic infelicity is
the development Of the apartment
house and the so-called family hotel.
lie would encourage the habit Of
home building and home owning
among the people as an incentive to
higher morality and the stabilizing Of
home ties. The bill which he pro-
poses to have introduced in the State
legislature would exempt from taxa
ton all homes valued at s. 1000 or
less, provided the head Of the family
maintains his residence in such a
place"
AS to the method by which Judge
Buekner would encourage home own
ing there is ground for considerable
argument. Taxation is not a thing
that can be juggled without injustice
and discrimination. For Shere are
thousands Of men and women in Kan
sas City who are moral and decent
and who live in homes that cost more
than $4,000. To establish the minim-
um proposed by Judge Buckner would
to penalize the home lovers who
more than $4,000 invested in
homes, unless an exemption Of
$4,000 were placed upon all homes.
But this is not the thing that IL Of
greatest interest in Judge Buckncr's
program. His observations Of the
NaIses for divorce and lack Of do
