D.. B.. STEEN IS SURE
Of MINING REVIVAL

o. b. Steen of Los Angeles, who
several years ago was heavily in
terested in placer mining at Manhat-
tan and later became identified with
the Big Four Company, on whose
property he and his associates op-
Grated a rich lease, has been in Tono-
pah for several days and after an in
spection of the Divide district, said:
MY idea is that the Divide excite
ment is the beginning of a wide
spread campaign of development in
the gold and silver mines of the west
and southwest.
I'm regard to the properties in the
Divide section, which | have Just
visited, l am convinced that some big
paying mines will be brought out
there. Such o%rebodies as have been
uncovered there are sure to result in
the making of wonderful mines"
Mr.. Steen is heavily interested in
mining at Oatman, Ariz., which camp,
be believes, will at no late date be
heard from in a bigger way than ever.
He says the mines in that district are
looking more promising today than
at any time in the past.-[Tonopah

PULL EN- APART!
SAYS INDEPENDENT

Why not "sic" the combined legal
forces of the State on Humboldt
county and her belligerent offspring.
Pershing, and separate the two? The
spectacle of two political divisions OF
Nevada looking under every old log
for some new kind of pinchbug TO
stick on the opposition is getting tire
some. The time 70 battle over the
county division has spassed-passed,
in fact, when the vote of the Legisla-
ture was recorded-and neither coun-
ty is going to profit by any more
visits to the courts.
Having squatted comfortably be-
fore the fire of c~omplacency and al
lowed the ~Pershingites to stick a
chunk of dynamite in the blaze that
blew her house down, Humboldt had
better start erecting a domicile suited
to her exclusive needs instead of
trying to lock her infant opponent up
long enough to construct a new home
for both of them that eventually
would go the same way.
Humboldt lost in the first place and
will lose in the last place, so why not
accept the defeat and go about the
business of reconstructing her shat
tered interests? Under the present
progress of affairs no n is going
to get anywhere save the lawyers
representing the contestants. For
those gentlemen the fight will prove
interesting and profitable. The legal
tangle is going to take years to
s~traighten out if present methods pre-
vail, and the result will be that nei-
ther county will be able to turn a
wheel toward civic improvement and
betterment..
1t is better for the State. better for
the people most vitality concerned
and better for both Humboldt and
Pershing counties that they settle
their differences amicably and go n
the business of advancing their mu
tual interests. Assuredly il is Of
greater advantage to Nevada that two
of her richest counties shall be har-
monized and working for the welfare
of the commonwealth rather than
feeding her courts with p%rotraeted
litigation and impeding State works
that are scheduled for carrying out
in the two fighting political divisions

INLAY MAN KILLS COW JURY
IN JUSTICE COURT ACQUITS

A special to the Reno Gazette from
its Inlay correspondent says that
Angelo Lencoini and Joseph Serano
were the principals in a trial held he
fore Justice of the Peace Beale here
Monday. Lencoini was accused of
killing a COW belonging to Serano at
Humboldt. He pleaded guilty, claim
ing that the cow was a menace and
that his children were in constant
hanger from it. AT the time he shot
the animal, he said, it WAS chasing
one of the children. The defendant
was released by the judge. 1t is
probable that the case will be ap-
pealed by Serano.

BAD BRAND OF PATRIOTISM

Millions of dollars have been squandered,
if not actually stolen, by high government
officials, who, owing to their alleged in
tense patriotism in times Of war, gave their
services to the country for one dollar per
year, but who instead Of being intensely
patriotic were only seeking opportunities
to get theirs while getting was good. Even
at the time we had our suspicious of the
honesty of the one dollar per year patriot
and Cayton's Weekly so expressed itself
when Schwab, on meeting Skinner, the Sc
attic ship builder for the first time in life,
embraced him like he would have a long
lost brother. The recent Investigations Of
Congress to the expenditure of govern
ment funds for war preparations has
brought out the fact that as much or more
money went into the pockets of home pat
riots in the shape Of graft greed and gain
than went to the prosecution of the war;
1t is now developing that the men who
preached patriotism the loudest did so for
the express purpose Of attracting public at
tention from their emisaries who were
stealing the government blind to subse-
quently divide the swag among the pat
riots. Of course none Of them will be
punished for it will be case Of we pat
riots must hang together or we will hang
separately.

THE PASSING THRONG
BRANDED SENATORIAL ASSES

BRANDED SENATORIAL ASSES
It is doubtless the first instance in the
history of the United States when a presi-
dent thereof felt justified in publicly pro-
nouncing Z. S. Senators ignorant asses,
because forsooth, the senators opposed
measures he advocated. If any class Of the
citizenry of this country is posted on the
public policies hereof it must be the United
States senators, and if they are not, then
they hinder instead of help the onward
march, the great rank and file Of our citi-
zenry, think they are making. In view OF
the above facts it seems almost preposter
GUS that President Woodrow Wilson would
make the declaration that the senators, who
oppose the Marselles treaty, are ignorant
of the facts. Out here we think Miles
PointdeXter a very brainy man and are
willing to rely upon his recommendations
We have no quarrel with Hyram johnson,
though he did make it possible for a man
to be reelected president of the United
States on the pretext che kept us out of
war; and as president to gallavant about

senators Of like mind on the peace treaty.
ignorant asses. johnson, we repeat, is
alright in spite of all this and we are will
ing to trust his judgment on this peace
pact proposition, but our veneratiOn for
president of the United States of North
America was badly shaken when we read
if not the vulgar declaration the rather un-
cooth one. On leaving Washington City it
was given out, ''the president has his fight
ing clothes on," and since reading his
speeches there is no doubt in our mind Of
the fact that he has We have always will

it goes ''damn'' badly against the grain
DIsARnd ALL NEGROES
In the Washington City riot the first step
taken by the authorities of the law to
bring about normal conditions was to dis
arm the colored folks and to also deny them
the freedom Of the city, but the white folks
were permitted to retain their arms, which
enabled them to shoot such colored per-
sons, as wandered from the restricted zone
In the Chicago riot the same method Of
peace restoration was resorted to, which
gave the whites a most decided advan-
tage over the cOloreds. In the Knoxville
riot the disarmament Of the colored beliger-
ents enabled the white intolerants to even
up their losses in battle.
If at either Of the above riot centers
the whites had have been disarmed at the
same time as were the coloreds the riot
would have been Of short duration and the
loss of life much less. No effort was made
at either place to disarm the whites and
if so the Associaed Press made no report
Of it at the time it told about the efforts
put forth to disarm the cOlored disturbers
The only way to restore peace under such
circumstances is to put the fear of the law

H. c. l.. CAMOUFLAGE

Hiding behind the anti-tidal wave of the
high cost Of living, President Wilson is
swinging around the circles and while doing
so attempting to feel the public pulse as to
his standing among the people of this
country. The people is a unit against the
uncaled for high cost of living and Pres-
dent Wilson has known this al the time,
but it seemed to give him little or no CON
cern until his Marselles peace pact met
such bitter opposition all over the country,
when he Immediately became an antitrust
advocate.
Had our President have had the peoples
best interest at heart he would have nip
ped the high cost of living in the bud in
it's incipiency, but to have done so would
have cost him the active support Of the
trusts and that was an entirely too valu-
able political asset, from his view point for
him to lose. In advance Of his coming his
Journalistic boosters are giving it out that
the reception President Wilson is given on

HE is OUR GUEST

President Woodrow Wilson is Seattle's
guest today and is receiving warm re-
ceptlon, no warmer reception, however,
than have been given to former presi-
dents of the United States, who have from
time to time visited Seattle Owing to the
fact that he is president Of all the United
States our citizens will say nothing that
will mar the pleasantness of the occasion
and that too regardless Of what he may
say in support Of his League of "Nations''
which, by the way, is the most dangerous
document that has ever been advocated for
adoption by a citizen Of this land of the
free and home Of the brave. In Seattle it
is safe to say that ninety per cent of the
voters who will line the streets, to almost
suffocation to but get glimpse of the
president as he passes will vote to dis
credit the League Of Nations as will be
urged by our president in his public adj
dress IN this city, The rank and file of
the voters of Seattle are against the Shan
tung outrage and that alone overshadows
IN their minds any merit the treaty may con-
tam. Our citizens have no desire to force
Uncle Sam to police Europe and they do
not give a tinker's damn whether Woodrow
