seeking to discredit the President
in his efforts to maintain the re-
spect and confidence of u
allies"
1t was Woodrow Wilson who first
carried partisanship beyond the wa
ter's edge. His whole expedition to
Paris was of a partisan character.
He chose a partisan peace delegation
with himself, the prince Of partisans,
at its head. He attempted to trans
late his partisan desire into a ma
tional demand. Without the backing
of the country, with the echoes of
his election-day reputation still
ringing in his ears, he proclaimed
himself the spokesman of all Ameri-
ans. 1t vas an utterly unjustiied
assertion. He vas only the spokes-
nan for a party-the party over
which he had exercised a p~aralyzing
and ~palsying domination from the
day of his first Inauguration as the
President.
The opposition to his plans has
unquestionably been to some extent
of a partisan and personal nature.
But it was he who first took the stand
of the traditional politician, it was
he who invited sharp reprisals, it was
he who called for the election of a
to enable him to carry out
his un-American scheme for the gov
eminent of the world by a super
state.
The convention orators, partisans
all, struck an unfortunate note when
charged the Republicans with
carrying their ~partisanship overseas.
The Presidents refusal to halt his
craftsmanship at the waters edge
doomed his Paris undertaking from
he start. And it doomed all but his
veto power even in his W party,
or there was never an hour at San
as the situation now ap-
)ears, when either McAdoo or Pal
ner, Davis or any man directly con
with or closely identified with
the administration could have been
nominated.-lGoldfeld Tribune.

THE
STAGE

Upon second thought it must mo- be
power act is going to be the great
penacea that has been promised for
it, for the secretary of the interior
has not gotten through with it yet.
Wait until rules and regulations are
promulgated and see if they can be
reconciled in any detail with the
wording and intent of the law as it
was passed by congress after twelve
years of thorough discussion and
constant consideration.
The right of the head of a depart
ment to change a law from what it
is to what he believes it ought to be,
sooner or later is coming to a show
down and the American people are
going to at least make inquiry
through their established channels
whether such is to be continued as
a substitute for legislation.
Not that anything of the kind has
been done in the case of the water
power act, but a recent act of quite
similar purposes and tenor was
emasculated by an official of Mr..
Payne's department in a ann to
utterly defeat and actually reverse
its purpose and plainly stated intent
Since the department has to do with
the newer statute, it is well for the
interests affected to be on their guard
for a little prevention is worth a
~trainload of protests.-[Ely Times.

fused to surrender their W con-

ratified as he presented it to the

In his address as permanent chair
man of the convention, Senator Rob-
inson declared:
1T has been said that parti-
sanship ceases at the waters

way directors, the contract for the
construction of a bridge across t44e

Eureka county, was awarded to Jen-

Three project statements were con-

board.
The first calls for a gravel-surfaced

the second is of a bridge over the
Muddy river at st. Thomas, in Clark
county: the third is an amendment
to a project for a gravel-surfaced

The board also took steps to ex-
pedite the completion of the road
between Elko and Carlin, in Elko

to another contract in which the pro-

but no definite action was taken.

THE POLITICAL GAME
THE UNSEEN SYSTEM

The ideal way to organize a politi-
cal campaign is to appoint commit
tees who shall hold rallies, secure
newspaper publicity, and educate the
public by information and public dis
cussion. But a great deal of work
of another kind is going on under the
surface, which the people who de-
sire good government cannot ignore.
They must meet it with a similar or
ganjzation Of their own.
A great many votes are hand
picked" the result. of individual in
fluence. Every person who takes an
interest in politics is a center of po-
liticai influence among his friends.
The successful politician carries in
his mind a long list of people who
are cepters of influence.
He spends a lot of time %cultivating
their acquaintance and enlisting their
support. Men of similar purposes
are drawn together, and form what
10 NdllcQ iiu6o vi hiaSbihSo'
When they can't sgTee on dividing
the spoils, they split and form hostile
factions. The ramifications of these
structures of Influence are very ex-
tensive and control a great number.
The trouble with many campaigns
for good government has been that
they failed to reckon on the power of
this unseen system. They thought if
they had good rallies and newspaper
support, they had the thing dead. Yet
all the while the sub-surface system
was beating them with its silent eff
ficiency.
People who desire good govern
ment must do much of this personal
individual work, in order to rally
their sympathizers and get indolent
and Indifferent people to vote at pri-
maries and elections. Unless they
do organize in this thorough way, and
get their vote out, the unseen power
Of the system will beat them.-[Free

When James A. Garfield was presl-

up his son to be entered as a student.
He wanted the boy to take a course
shorter than the regular one.

to get through more quickly. Can't

"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Garfield. HE

ORGANIZING THE
RURAL COMMUNITY

The Old-time community had no or
ganization whose duty it vas to work
for the all-round development of the
place. 1t had various forms of as
sociations for certain specific pur-
poses. The first manifestation III
community effort is always the NUM-
cipal government, formed to provide
certain services, principally to fur
nish schools, roads, to assess and col
lect taxes, to maintain order, etc. But
the municipal government is not con-
sidered responsible for general bust
ness, social and economic develop
ment.
Similarly churches were formed to
promote worship and religious edu-
cation, and fraterral societies for
friendly spirit and mutual help. But
it was. not the business of either to
promote the general welfare of the
community.
As it was perceived that these or
CARNATIONS did not provide for gen.
eral development, improvement So
| cieties and business mems assoc.a-
| tons and farmers clubs, etc., were
formed. each to look after some spe-
| cial field of effort. But each of these
usually took in only one group of
people.
The modern form of community adj
vance seeks the cooperation of every
body. 1t does not interfere with ex-
listing organizations, but it tries to
remedy defects and supply forms OF
effort not previously existing, SO that
the full scope of a towns possibilities
may be attained.
1t tries to improve farm production
to systematic farm business, to uti-
lize to the full the u and
products of the town, to develop work
for boys and girls. to improve educa'
ton. public health, transportation
recreation, civic affairs. public NOR
