OF RADICALS IS NOT
 AN INNOVATION
Pilgrims Rounded Up All Disturbers and Shipped
 Them Overseas.

Boston, Feb. g. Deportation Of 'tundesirableS' is not an innovation in this country. The Pilgrim Fathers, confronted with the problem of deal ing with malcontents among them shipped the disgrunt1ed ones overseas. There was no Soviet Ark in those days because there were not so many troub1ous spirits but the fathers ac- ton against the men who sought to spread dissension was summary.
 Rear Admiral Francis T. Bowles, resigned, in describing the experi- ences of the Pilgrims, quotes from Governor Bradford's story of the Plymouth colony to show how things were done in those days.
 'fThe reds in the Plymouth colony" Admiral Bowles says, "were represented by John Liford and John Oldham, who conspired together both against the church and the govern ment of the colony, endeavored to entice others with them, and wrote defamatory letters to the friends of the colony in England. As the gov- ernor says, both Oldham and he. Liford, grew very perverse, and showed a spirit of great malignancy, drawing as many into faction as they could; were they never so vile or
 
 their dofngs.'
 "Oldham having refused duty when called upon by Captain Standish, 1t was determined to place both Iiford and Oldham on trial and all mem pers of the colony were called upon to be present. Liford and Oldham were convicted and the court sentenced them to be expelled from the colony. ! Ultimately both were deported. Oldham once came again to the colony, and having created a serious breach of the peace, Governor Brad ] ford says, they committed him till he was tanner, and then appointed 2 guard of musketers which he was tc pass through, and everyone was or dered to give him a thunp on ye brich, with ye but end of his musket and then was conveied to ye water side, where @ boat was ready to carry i him away. Then they bid him zoe and mende his IanSers.'"

PROHIBITION IS
 MEETING FIGHT
 IN NEW JERSEY
Governor Edwards Takes Up Battle For Personal
 Liberty.

Trenton, N. J., Feb. 9.---The battle In New Jersey, isd by Governor Ed ward I. Edwards for state rights as against constitutional prohibition is oeing fought along two lines: An ef- fort to induce the legislature to con- test the validity of the 18th amend ment In the United States Supreme Court and to enact state law per. hitting the sale in New Jersey of bev' era8es containing more than one-half Of one Der cent. of alcohol.
 8eeps necessary to fight the prohibi- btticn amendment in the Supreme Court have been considered in confer enceS between the new Governor and the state attorney general Two bills have been introduced in the legisla- ture, one to permit the sale of bey- erages with four per cent. of alcohol content and the other five per cent.
 Governor Edwards was elected on an issue of personal liberty" He gave a pledge in his campaign to in- SiSt on the right of the people of New Jersey to say how they should live His attempt to fulfill that pledge has made this state one of the few re maining battlegrOunds for the right Of a man to buy q drink and has at tracted attention throughout the coun- try.

New Jersey not only failed to ratify the federal prohibition amend. ment, together with Rhode Island and Connecticut, hut went further than any other state in the Union and it's iSIa aHG al rai a amendment. The governor has urgeI the legislature to refrain in its pres ent session from now giving it's ratifi- cation.
 Although Governor Edwards holds liberal personal views concerning the use of intoxicants, his friends say that he has not taken a. drink of intoxicat- Ing liquor in mare than 30 years, upon advice of his physician.
 Edwards is a man of action rather than an orator but, in his campaign made an impression iii his speeches by directness and frankness. He i: considered a staunch party organiza. ton man, of more than average bus 1ness ability, tolerant and loyal; home-loving man, one whose greates pleasure in life is in playing game: with his little grandchildren.

FALLON EAGLE TO BE PRINTED
SEMI-WEEKLY HEREAFTER

Announcement is made in the last
issue of the Churchill County Eagle,
published at Fallon by c. A. Diamond
and D. E. Williams. that hereafter the
Eagle will appear twice week,
on each Tuesday and Friday. The
change from weekly is made be-
cause of greatly increased business
derived from oil activities at Fallon
and the rapidly enlarging irrigation
project possibilities. The editors say
they confidently expect to be publish
ing daily newspaper before very
long.
Fallon is particularly fortunate in
having two newspapers which serve
their readers in excellent fashion and
Fallons newspapers are fortunate in
having a bunch of boosters to back
them up. 1t seems safe to say Fal-
Ions great strides in growth are due
almost wholly to its newspapers-the
opportunities have been there always,
but it took live publicity to put them
before the country.
1t is the wish of The Silver Stare
that our Fallon brothers prosper as
they so richly deserve.

SENTENCE
CAUSE Of COMMENT

Deputy United States Marshal G.. l..
Lammon is here today to summon
witnesses for the Connelley payroll
padding case, which is to be retired
May II.
From Lannon'S talk it is gathered
that considerable stir has been caused
over the state by the life-term sen
tence given to Leonard Fristoe at Ely.
who murdered two officers who were
trailing him for having stolen an au
tomobile. Lammon says the peniten-
tiary records at Carson show that
life termers have averaged eight
years before being either pardoned or
paroled. This length of sentence is
not considered sufficient in the cas-
of Fristoe. who shot the two ofIicers
in cold blood while they were per
forming their duty. In fact, opinion
seems to be universal that he shoult
have been given the death penalty.
Lammon was at Carson City whe
Fristoe was taken there by Sherii
Enslow of Ely. Fristoe is said
have told the sheriff he had killed tw
other men in Arizona and one won
in Colorado. The life sentence is Q
planned, it was said, by the fact q,

sentence would be more severe thf

he didn't intend to serve any tin
in the penitentiary.
TO say the least. it appears to estal
lish poor precedent when Grim
nal can kill two officers of the law il
Nevada and escape with anythin
short of death. The board of pardon
seems to have taken hint from con-
plaint all over The state that crimi
nails were being turned loose with in
sufficient punishment. for at their lat
sessions very few secured freedom
If in eight years or eighteen there ar
men who remember Fristoe's crime
any effort to free him will meet witt
still greater opposition. His commit
ment papers should be marked nov
to insure close confinement until h,

was with Fristoe at the time of the
murders, has been sentenced to thc

E[KS GOING LIMIT
FOR BIG SUCCESS

Winnemucca Elks are going to
spare no expense or effort to make
a day set for the middle of next month
a huge success, when officers will
come here from Reno to initiate a
large class of candidates. This was
decided at a meeting of Elks held
Tuesday night. At that time ii was
again brought out that at least 100
Elks will come here from Reno to
witness the fun, sixty from Elko and
many more from Lovelock and otli I
towns.
To make sure that the Reno Elks
intend to put on the whole show
while here and to establish definite
date for the initiation, number of
'ocal Elks signified intention of going

ing made to get many to join this
delegation, that the Reno brothers

DEL|R|OUS BASQUE
ESCAPES HOSPITAL

A thrill was furnished this morning
when a report rapidly gained circu-
lation that an insane man had escaped
from the county hospital here and
was roaming around with a club. IL
developed on investigation that the
man was not insane, but delirious
from spotted fever. He is Brusque
Asparen, a Basque employed at Col
conda by Gil Prida. He was brought
here and placed in the hospital yes
terday afternoon.
This morning he jumped out of his
bed, struck nurse, Miss Ford, and
ran into the hallway. His blow, how
ever, was light and Miss Ford feels
no i'll effects. After he had run into
the Railways he met another nurse.
Mrs. Vandermeade. and attempted to
strike her. She eluded him, ran to
the hospital door and attempted to
hold the door shut so he could not
get out He forced the door and she
ran. The nurses found him later in
Bridge street, just across the South
ern Pacific tracks, and he was piling
up rocks. He made no attempt to
use them when the nurses ap-
preached, but ran into the Lafayette
hotel. After he got into the hotel his
countrymen started talking to him
and he quieted down, later allowing
a number of men to take him back to
the hospital.
Asparen was resting easier this
afternoon and causing no trouble.

CLEANUP DAY WILL
FIND EVERYONE BUSY

Evidence that Cleanup Day, set
for next Saturday, will be generally
observed in Winnemucca are already
discernable, many residents already
being engaged in cleaning up piles of
ashes and other refuge. The move
ment seems to have been received
with enthusiasm and indications are
the city will present far different
aspect next week.
Winnemucca already is one of the
cieanest and best looking cities in
Nevada. Strangers seldom fail TO re-
mark that the city is well laid out and
favored with good-appearing build
ings. There are a few rundown
buildings in the business section, of
course, but they are far in the minor
ity. Some residents who keep their
premises cleaned up at all times have
signified intention of using the day for
spreading paint on small outbuildings.
Remember, if you have debris in
sacks or barrels and put it thus con-
fined in the streets it will be taken up
by city trucks and disposed of with
out charge.
With most of the fire wrecks being
replaced by modern buildings and
other property cleaned up and painted
Winnemucca should present an ap-
pearance to be proud of.

P|TTMAN EXPLAINS
LOWER SILVER PRICE

Satisfied requirements for silver
have caused India. japan and China
to cease their heavy purchases of the
white metal, thereby causing the
present slump in the price of silver.
is the view taken by Senator Key Pit
man in telegram received from him
by Henry NJ. Riyes, secretary of the
Mine Operators Association.
The senator explains that rumors
regarding the closing of the San
Francisco mint are unfounded. All
branch mints, he says, are required
to close for a few days each year 10
clean up. He added that all mints
are accepting bullion for refinement.
and settlement at one dollar an ounce
is made on assay reports.
The senator also reports that treas
ury officials deny the government is
selling silver to Oriental nations.
THE best authority for the slump
in price of silver that l can obtain
is as follows:" the telegram states
''At the time of removal of the en-
barge on shipment of silver, China
Japan and India were starving for
silver because the amount they or
dinarily absorbed each month from
the United States had been cut off
during the war. The large purchases
made by these countries immediately
after raising of the embargo not only
raised the price of silver quickly, but
substantially satisfied requirements of
those countries.
Germany was expected to buy sill
yer as reserve for her silver money
but she has nothing with which 10
buy She could only buy silver with
money or with goods. If she bought
it with her paper money she would
have to pay about SO in her own
money for each ounce of silver. Ger
many is not buying silver as expected
but is selling. She is selling her re-
serves because that is the only thing
she has to sell. With what silver she
has she can buy in the market at par.
This silver is temporarily helping To
satisfy the world demand"
The senator adds that he believes
such conditions to be temporary AMI
that as commerce increases the de
mand for silver will also increase.

RENO MAY Be MADE
AERO MAIL STATION

Reno's airplane landing field has
received semi-official approval as a
landing and transfer station for the
proposed transcontnental aerial mail
route authorized by congress. Col.
John A Jordan director of aerial
mail service, after inspecting the field
pronounced it fully acceptable to the
post Office department He stated
that Reno would be one of eight cities
where mail will be transferred AMI
where regular stops will be made of
the big planes that will make the
2S00-mile cross-country fight, says
the Reno Gazette.
This will mean that letters mailed
in Reno in the morning will be de-
livered in New York, Washington cr
other Eastern cities the next after
noon. Only first class mail will be
carried, but no additional postage will
be required for the aerial service; the
usual two-cent stamp being all that
is required.
Colonel Jordan arrived in Reno to
make arrangements for a landing
field. He is mapping the direct route
from New York to San Francisco.
The route as planned starts at New
York. then Cleveland, Chicago, Oma--
