"Where You Now Sit. "

Not many generations ago, where
you now sit circled with all that exalts
and embellishes civilized life, the rank
thistle nodded in the wind, and the
wild fox dug his hole unscared. Here
lived and loved another race of beings.
Beneath the same sun that rolls over
your heads the Indian hunter pursued
the painting deer; gazing on the same
moon that smiles for you, the Indian
lover wooed his dusky mate.
Here the wigwam blaze beamed on
the tender and helpless, the council
fire glared on the wise and daring.
Now they dipped their noble limbs in
your sedgy lakes, and now they pad
died the light canoe along your rocky
shores. Here they warred; the echo
/ ing whoop, the bloody grapple, the de-
tying death song, all were here; and
when the tiger strife was over, here
curted the smoke Of peace.
Here, too, they worshipped; and
from many a dark bosom went up a
pure prayer to the Great Spirit. He
had not written His laws for them on
tables Of stone, but He had traced
them On the tables of their hearts. The
poor child Of nature knew not the God
of revelation, but the God of the uni
verse he acknowledged in every thing
around.
He beheld Him in the star that sank
in beauty behind his lonely dwelling;
in the sacred orb that famed on him
from his midday throne; in the flow
er that snapped in the morning breeze;
in the lofty pine, that defied a thou
sand Whirlwinds; in the timid warbler,
that never left its native grove; in the
fearless eagle, whose untired pinion
was wet in clouds; in the worm that
crawled at his foot; and in his own
matchless form, glowing with a spark
OF that light, to whose mysterious
Source he bent in humble though ador
alton
And all this has passed away.
Across the ocean came a pilgrim bark,
bearing the seeds of life and death.
The former wa sown for you; the
latter sprung up in the path of the

senatorial candidate. but neither will
be an opponent of the other.

Up to a short time ago, everybody
believed that the Democratic senator
ial contest would be a "one-man'
event with Senator Henderson in the
stellar role.
There are strong rumors, however
that James T. Boyd will be an added
starter" and, within the last few days
the name of Ray Baker, director of
the mint, has been linked with sena-
torial gossip. Baker expressed him.
self some time ago as having sena-
torial ambitions, but said that he did
not intend being a candidate this
year. Events. within the last ten
days, however, have created a belief
that Baker will be Henderson's
opponent this year and will be backed
by the Wilson administration. With
in the last few days, so information
comes from an authoritative source,
an offer was made in behalf of Baker
t purchase the Nixon residence on
California avenue in Reno. The deal
might be said tt be impending.
Also, it is interesting to note that
Senator Henderson. has within the
last few days, cut loose from the adj
ministration treaty forces, giving no
tice that he will vote for the treaty
with Republican. or Lodge, reserva-
tions. Heretofore Henderson has
lined up with the administration
Democrats in opposition to treaty res
ervations. This also may be a de-
termining factor that will influence
Baker in getting into the senatorial
fight this year.

cording to the Reno Gazette.

cd of selecting six delegates to the
Democratic national convention in

brought before the meeting will be
disposed Of. Among these is the Sc
lection of a committeeman to fill the
vacancy caused by the death OF
Charles McReynolds in Mineral
county.
Kunz also stated that he had in
tended to call the meeting for March
10. but on his return to Reno from
Tonopah and Goldfeld, was told of
a published report to the effect that ii
had been called for March 9. In order
to avoid confusion he changed his
plans and issued the call for March
9. The meeting will be held at ten
o'clock in the morning and possibly
will be in the city hall at Reno.
