GOVERNOR BOYLE RAPS STATE
POLICE AT TONOPAH

That the state government proposes
to take over the enforcement of the
prohibition and gambling laws In
Tonopah, as 1t did in White Pine
county, is indicated in a statement
issued Sa' urday night by Governor
Boyle in which he declared that the
state proposes to prosecute any per-
son or persons who violate the
statutes, says the Reno Gazette.
Attorney General Fowler arrived
In Tonopah Monday morning and
went into conference with the gov
ernor Immediately. He was called
from Carson City by the governor.
The governor declared that a To-
cal organization would be created
to register public opinion and that
a wider and more efficient state plan
of policing the district would be in
stituted. He also took occasion 10
declare that the work cone by the
state police in Tonopah was ~pitifully
inefficient and wholly different from
the reports received from them at
his Office.

ELKO ALSO BOTHERED WITH
PETTY ROBERIES OF HOMES

The residence of Harry Keyser at
Elko was entered Sunday while the
family was out in the country and
the house Vas thoroughly ransacked
from n end to the other. and SO
far nothing but SIS in money has
been missed. aside from four bottles
Of whiskey that Harry had stored
away against the long dry spell that
faces the country. The family left
Sunday morning about eight o'clock
and returned shortly after dark. so
the thieves must have entered the
place some time during the day, and
1t Is believed that the robbery was
done by someone familiar with the
house and who knew the family were
to be away all day.
Every drawer and closet was gone
through. Even the SCOT pan at the
base OF the chimney was investigated
in the quest for valuables, and Har-
ry says that he is surprised that they
found the cache Of whiskey, as he
thought that he had hidden where
even 1t could not be discovered by a
search warrant. The money was
obtained from three pocketbooks. In
different rooms. showing the
thoroughness of the search. One OF
the strange things of the robbery
was that the house was not left In
disorder, as after searching a draw
er, the contents were replaced in a
tumbeled condition.-GElko Free

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS In
TONOPAH STRIKE SITUATION

Pessimism is the feeling on every
side, as a result of the latest develop
ments in the strike situation at To-
nopah, according to a special dis
patch to the Reno Journal, and there
are surface indications that the op-
orators and Eany Of the miners are
settling down in anticipation of a
long dead lock.
Contrary to the. expectations of
Saturday and Sunday the miners did
not return to work yesterday morning
and the operators do not seem will
ing to treat with them any longer
as an organization.
Just why the conservatives, after
voting six to one, Saturday, failed to
report for work has not been ex-
planned, but it is generally believed
that they were afraid to report, that
the radicals would make it highly
~disagreeable for them to do so. The
total vote cast in the referendum was
1892.
Meetings and have been
the order throughout the day and last
night a so-called ratification meeting
was held.
Governor Boyle is still in Tono-
pah and is doing his utmost t bring
about a settlement.

as to be of little practical value. A
few days ago, for instance, the De-
partment of Agriculture announced
that farmers in a certain county in
New York used increased quantities
of limestone thereby securing increas-
ed production. One farmer used q
ton of limestone to the acre and har-
vested 1924 pounds of hay, while an
adjoining plot having no lime produc-
ed only 4017 pounds, or 1907 pounds
in favor Of the tract treated with the
lime. All of which would be interest
ing, and perhaps valuable information,
if there were anything to show how
much the farmer paid for lime, how
much II cost to put it on the land, and
the increased value Of the crop. The
information given by the Department
of Agriculture is just about as useful
as the thousands Of tons of war gas

shipment from Atlantic ports when
the amistice was signed. In neither
instance does the governmental agency

Soldiers DEPENDENTS.

The failure OF the War Risk Insur-
ance Bureau to function properly is
practically emphasized by the ap-
proach of Winter weather and senti-
mentality by the advent of Christmas.
Arrears of allowances to soldiers de-
pendents are on the average of six
month overdue. And while such con-
dition Of affairs is in itself an intoler-
able outrage it is all the more intoler-
able when the vision of unheated
homes and penniless Christmas is con-
jured up.
No sorrier service could be perform
ed by the Government to our brave
boys overseas than to leave their de-
pendents in want. The boys have gone
without half their meagre pay on the
strength of the Governments promise
to provide maintainence for their de-
pendents at home. To leave these de-
pendents in want is not only base in
gratitude, it is criminal mismanage-
ment.
Fourteen thousand clerks are en-
ployed by the War Risk Insurance
Bureau. This would seem to be
large enough force to keep the work
up to date, but If it is not, it should
be doubled or tripled. For the pay
ment of allowances to soldiers de-
pendents is a matter OF honor and JUS
tice not less important than the pay
ment of interest on Government bonds
or salaries to Government employees.
Nowhere will Congress find more
fertile field for thorough investigation
and prompt reform. The inefriciency
Of the War Risk Insurance Bureau
is a national disgrace that cannot too
soon be atoned for. - Philadelphia
