Father forgive them; they know not
what they do. He forgives the good
thief, seeing in his heart repentance
and love which could not but call forth
His mercy. The cry of Christ from
the cross goes up to heaven today fol
every one of us, no matter how great
have been our sins, no matter how nu-
merous. even though they be as scar
let: Father forgive them; they know
not what they do
SHOULD BE REPENTANT.
I'VE are prone, my dear brethren, to
Imagine in. our despair that God cannot
mend the breaks in our life of virtue
caused by sin. But He can and will

Jesus sorrowfully, acknowledge your
sin and with the prodigal say to Him,
Father, / have sinned against heaven
and before Thee Come to Him with
the faith of the leper; Lord, if thou
wilt. thou can make me clean. Come
to HIM with the repentance and love
of the Magdalen and many sins will be
forgiven you because you have loved
much Come to Him no matter how
black your sins may be, even though
you have been separated from Him for
years and years; come to Him with
the hope and confidence Of the good
thief, Lord, remember me, when thou
shalt come into my kingdom Come
to Him now seize the present moment
now is the acceptable time, now Is the
day of salvation. Come to Him in the
sacrament of penance and make a good
confession. We are here, my dear
brethren as dispensers of the mercy of
Jesus Christ, as His ministers and in
our ministrations of mercy in the con-
fessional, what else can We do than
follow the example of our kind and
gentle Master. Come then my dear
brethren, confess your sins with sim
cere sorrow and Jesus Christ, pleased
with the repentance of your heart, will
say to you through His minister what
He said to the Magdalen; thy sins are
forgiven; go in peace.

GRENADE BANKS FOR
PUPILS IN SCHOOLS

Nevada will receive 10000 real
american defensive genades' from
which the charges have been with
drawn and a coin-slot substituted,
thus making unique and se~rviceable
savings banks for school children,
according to wired advices from tie
Treasury Department.
THESE grenades represent an i'm
provement over the British Mills
bomb. They are real grenades, Of
which 5,O00.0 900 were ready for ship
ment when the armistice was signed.
They were first ordered sold for junk.
but the treasury heads, realizing
their immense souvenir and sentiment
tai value. decided instead to make
them over into savings banks for
United States school children.
Each Nevada boy or girl who pos
sesses a War Savings stamp bought
with money saved or earned during
the summer vacation will be entitled
to receive one of these banks free
of charge. Teachers in all cases will
will Judge between the pupils and the
banks will be allotted according to
lists sent either to State headquarters
or to county chairmen.
The development of the hand gre
made is interesting in this connet-
ton. During the reign of J outs ~
in France. picked corps of soldiers
acquired the knack Of throwiss loaded
bombs filled with high explosives. and
from this knack the name of grenade
throwers" or "grenadiers" was given
them.
In the Napoleonic wars the grenade
fell into disuse. only to b. revived
at the siege Of Port Arthur in 1904.
after which every army IL the world
began to experiment with new fcims
Of bombs aGd explosive mixtures.
The mos: effective grenade devel-
oped during the var was the British
Mills bomb, a little han grenade of
which every soldier could carry
more than 100 and throw them from
an ordinary trench.
This Mills bomb formed the basis
of the savings bank which this fall
will be seen in every Nevdza home
where the children have learned the
first lesson of thrift by buying Val
Savings stamps of the United St1tcs
government.

VIRGINIA CITY MEN EMERGE
LUCKILY FROM AUTO SMASH

A party of local men who left here
Saturday by automobile for San Fran
cisco in Charley Sans car had a close
call Sunday morning five miles out of
Placerville. and are lucky that no one
was killed or seriously injured. In
the party were f. II. Hunt. Robert

Charley Sam at the wheel. AS they
turned out for a machine stalled in
the road they collided on the other
side with another auto which was
travelling toward them at a rapid rate,
neither seeing the other until 1t was
too late. The local car was thrown
into the ditch, but all of the Virginia
City men fortunately escaped with a
few cuts and bruises. Charley Sans

The proper policy for America is to regard importatons Of articles that
can be produced here as unfair" to American producers. We should prevent
such unfair competition by imposing an import duty at least eqra, to the diff
ducton, provided the latter country sells to us a quantity sufficient to be a
menace to our home industry. But the rate of duty, the time and manner of
its establishment, should be fixed by law, % that every person interested
may have equal knowledge of the proposed action and the time when it is to

This discussion has dealt with the subject wholly from the standpoint Of
policy. AS a matter If constitutional law it is doubtful whether

PROHIBITING THE PROFITEER

Intoxicated with his wealth, unearned,
Old Mammon, maudlin, shakes his walking-stick
AT prohibition of his legal trick,
And VOWS the law shall not be overturned.
One would suppose that he is much concerned
In honest government, to hear him kick
And wrangle at the social hereto,
Who he believes should be confined or burned.
The gentleman has had a drop too much;
His equilibrium has been upset;
To lamp-post presidents he had to clutch,
Too jagged to have a hope or just regret.

If he remains all night in such a wet.

THE ANARCHISTS APPEAL.

For leaders In a movement to do
away with all government, Emma
Goldman and Alexander Berkman, the
two anarchists who are to be deported
by the United States, are certainly
making good use of every technicality
that is to be found in the law to pre-
vent the government carrying out its
purpose. The very institution that
they would destroy has become their
only refuge In their distress.
If these anarchists hate the courts
as they have so frequently declared,
If they believe that courts and every
other branch Of organized government
are a menace and interfere with the
true liberties of the individual, why
this Fanatic appeal to the courts to
save them when they find them
selves in trouble2 The insincerity OF
the anarchistie doctrine is apparent.
But there is still more hypocrisy in
the attitude of these anarchists toward
the governments efforts to deport
them. They have been singing the
praises of Soviet Russia; they have
been preaching Bolshevik doctrine as

Ripping Rhymes
TYNE OF TRIAL
by W Z MASOE

l set down this plaintive ditty
in a time that tries my soul; for
in our afflicted city waters scarce
and there's no coal. And the river
that supplies us is a mockery
that's vain, and a cloudless sky
denies us anything that looks like
rain. Lies so dismal I could
chuck It. with q last despairing
yell, for I have to take a bucket
and pack water from a well.
From the coal mines all the toll
crs have departed, as 1 write, and
we cannot fire our boilers, and
there's no electric light. And I
have to use a candle that is made
of rancid grease, and tho adjec-
tives I handle would astonish the
police. And the street cars have
been stabbed, and the town has
doused its glims. and a fellow is
enabled to try out his rusty limbs.
Through the darkened streets I
stumble, spraining foot and bruis-
ing knee, and ! crouch around
and grumble when I bump against
a tree. l have many woes and
bothers, but through all this
thought survives: It's the kind of
stuff u fathers had to stand for
all their lives. When in bed. be-
meath its tester. I am glad things
ore so planned that I'm not my
own ancestor, with a candle in
my hand.

the nearest to their ideal. Now. when
ahe people Of the United States. who
are satisfied with their form of gov
arnment, propose to give those who
prefer the Russian brand free trans
portation to that country, these Rus
sian admirers rebel and fight to the
last ditch to keep from being sent
away from America.
one would think if the American
form Of government was so distaste-
full to them and the Russian form
came SO near being the ideal, they
would be overJoyed at the opportunity
to 60. to Russia and live under the con-
ditions that prevail there.
But It seems that Soviet Russia is
all right many, many, miles away, and
is fine to hold mp as Il model, but when
it comes to going there to live under
il that's different.
Both Goldman and Bcrkman have
suddenly developed a great liking for
America. They are loath to leave us,
yet both these anarchists. should the
court save them from being de-
ported, would take up their agitation
more actively than ever against this
government and everything connected
with #. and resume their praise Of
Soviet Russia.
Perhaps 4 nttle more activity on the
part Of the government in shipping
back to Russia those who profess
such admiration for the Bolshevlki
would convince more of these radicals
that the American form of govern
ment is not so bad after all, and the
courts are not as useless as the Reds
profess to believe.

He believes that it is nothing but
q sugar holdup. brought about by
sugar spectators who have cornered
the sugar supply and intend to hold
Ii until they can brighten the people

FIRST.

Americas delegates have left the
peace conference to its compromises;
but America can never leave Europe
to It's conflicts. Otherwise. new world
wars will come and will drag America
in.
In all diplomatic negotiations en-
dangering a world conflict, the rights
of neutrals should be as fully safe
guarded as the rights of either con-
|tcstant. Neutrals may have no vital
Interests at stake, yet once the war
starts, they may be drawn in as inno-
Gently as a ship by a sudden mael-
strom. America, therefore, cannot
! stand by, an Indifferent spectator,
| whilo Europe makes wars that will
trample on neutral rights, Neutrals
are nothing to war-mad nations while
the insanity lasts.
America has no concern with Eu-
ropean q%uarrols. All the more reason
why we must keep the disputes down.
our welfare is served when Europe is
ut peace; our peace is In danger when
| Europe is at war. Therefore, we can
not let Europe go her own way. We
must be present among the Europeans,
If only to prevent their little quarrels
J becoming big ones.
II we isolate ourselves at Washing
ton, and pun down the blinds, we shall
know nothing about the next war until
it is upon us. Then, We shall be in
volved, sooner or later, as innocently
as In this war. The easiest way to
safeguard our neutrality Is through
the League of Nations. From that
vantage point. we can keep an eye on
the world and halt far-off diplomats
trying to make trouble.
The League of Nations is the
cheapest neutrality insurance in the
world. But, before we a take adj
vantage of 1t, we must stop u party
quarrels over the peace treaty. We
must get back to thinking Of America
first.
