force the laws. We would not have
the federal government interfere in
Virginia otherwise than as pre-
scribed by the constitution to which
that state has been given its assent.
But if the United States is to under
take any extra-constitutional duties,
such as mandates and world-supervi-
sion, why not take up the easiest
task frst-the one nearest home
that of giving the state of Virginia a
truly representative government?

OPPORTUNITY
AT HOME

According to President Wilson's
own declaration, the ideal Democra-
tic platform is that adopted in Vir-
ginia, where, under an also ideal
Democratic state constitution, four
fifths of the citizens of voting age
are DISTINGUISHED. And yet there are
some people who are deceived by a
pretended concern over making the
world safe for democracy, over self
determination for half civilized ma
tons, and over an American mandate
for Armenia. If President Wilson
wants the United States to take a
mandate over ONE oppressed peo-
pie, why not take a mandate over
Virginia, and restore the franchise to
her people? If America is to concern
herself over self determination and
true democracy, why not exert the
federal power to give self-determina-
ton to the people of Virginia and es-
tablish popular government in the
place of the present oligarchy?
Far be it from us to urge that the
federal government should interfere
in the internal affairs of the state of
Virginia. The federal constitution

ORGANIZING THE
RURAL COMMUNITY

Country towns can be divided into
four classes of relative progress.
Glass /. The towns in new and un-
developed parts of the country that
are without even a rudimentary So
cial organization. The same situa-
ton may exist in towns in the old
parts of the country, where all the
active young people have gone to
more hopeful locations.
Glass 2. The town with such basic
organizations as the church, the
school, the fraternal society, but
which has never reached out for pro-
gressive measures. Life is often
pretty comfortable in these slow
moving communities, but it is very
dull.
Glass 3. In these communities
there is no strong interest in prog
ress. Yet a few active leaders have
stirred people up so that they are
really doing a lot of things. But if
these leaders dropped out, the whole
town would slump. Yet there are
many places where a few earnest peo-
pie have been able to get UP far
mers' Institutes, community celebra-
tions, plays and ~pageants, a town
agricultural fair and like activities.
Class A. In this type of community
more people have gone to work and
different groups have been formed to
carry on entirely independent lines
of work. One group for instance will
run a farmers cooperative market
ing association. Another will start
a village improvement society. The
women will have a womans' club, etc.
Splendid work is being done in many
towns on these Independent lines.
Glass 5. This is the community
where the problems of the town have.
been taken up as a whole by a com
munity council, and where one or
g~anization has sought to unity all
activities, interest everybody in the
town and put progressive ideas over
by a grand push. This is the ideal
community plan.
To which class does Winnemucca
belong.

PREDICTS GROWTH

Nevada is about to enter a period
of prosperity never before paralleled
according to William Sproule, presi-
dent Of the Southern Pacific raiiroad-
who is making a survey and tout oI
The interests of that organization in
this state, says the Reno Journal.
1--WE have covered practically the
entire state during the last week, :.
aid sproule, and l have been given
a thorough insight into the varied in
dustries of the different sections Of
the state. 1 have talked with the
leading Mining men OF Southern Ne
vada and they have assured me that
haeh ore bodies, rich in mineral
wealth remain in that locality only
awaiting favorable conditions to be
exploited. Agriculturists in Mason
v. ley have Informed me thct a re-
tanning dam viii be constructed in
the near future that Will yield more
Than 10000 acres of tillable soil when
properly irrigated and this will add
prosperity to the western part OF the
state. The lumber industry in Las
sen county, California, has a monthly
payroll of 100000 and much of this
trickles down to Reno and vicinity.
About 800 miles of the Humboldt Val
ley will gradually pass into the
hands of new farmers with the re-
suit Of increasing population and
production.
THE Southern Pacific is greatly in
terested in the development of Ne
vada. Our lines throughout your
state pass through miles upon miles
of un%productive territory. We are the
largest tax payers in the state and
naturally our greatest desire is to see
Nevada forge ahead and take her
rightful place in the rank and file
of states.
I'VE are. and intend to continue,
furthering the upbuilding and pros
perity of Nevada"
