WILL RAY BAKER Be
SENATE CANDIDATE

Raymond T. Baker, of Oakland, di-
rector of the mint, has announced
his candidacy for the United States
senatorship from Nevada.
More than once before. the
Nevada toga has been held tempting
ly before Bakers eyes, but each time
he has sidestepped the invitation. To-
day, however, it is different. He will
seek election this fall.
IL is some two years ago that
Baker, first proposed for senatorial
honors. contemplated the strange
fatality hat had followed Nevada
senators-two Of them had died i'm
mediateiy after their terms ended.
Baker didn't like the prospect
They don't last long enough in
that job" he said. Il can name
enough dead senator's from Nevada
to mar a ship. but | know five living
d ~ectors of Tic mint. BetteI a live di-
rector than a dead senator.
But casualties recently among the
mountain senators have not been
heavy, and Baker has decided to take
a chance. If elected he will assume
the seat Of the late Senator Francis
G.. Newlands, which. since Newland's
death in 1917, has been temporarily
filled by appointment. This is an
error, Senator Henderson having been
elected two years ago.]
Baker is the son of Mrs. George
w. Baker, of 213 Mountain avenue.
Piedmont, and a brother of Cleveland
Baker. His wife is the former Mrs.
Alfred Gwyne Vanderbilt. His father
before his death was chief counsel
for the Southern Pacific. Baker was
instrumental in establishing the hon
or system il the Nevada p~eEitcntiary.
Later he was tent as secretary to the
American legation at Petrograd under
Ambassador George t. Marye. He is
a native of California, a graduate of
Stanford university and a former dep
uty clerk of this county.-[Oakland

Canned food free from gas or
swell, from disintegration, and from
bad doors has proved safe in all the
experiments conducted by the bureau
of chemistry, United States depart
ment of Agriculture. Spoiled canned
food is not safe, because the con-
sumner can not separate harmless de-
composition from poisonous decom-
position. No canning scheme is per-
feet enough to prevent the loss of an
occasional can. Such a can should be
destroyed, not eaten.
In poisoning cases investigated by
the bureau of chemistry, ii has been
repeatedly shown hat the food con-
sumed was spoiled and that some of
those who handled ii recognized its
condition. AS long as people take a
chance in serving food known to be
unsound, deaths from poisoning will
occasionally occur.
With both commercial and home
canned food. the final responsibility
of determining whether it is in a fit
with the person who opens the can.
The only difference is hat the COM
mercial product is tested by the
wholesaler, jobber and retailer be-
fore it reaches the consumer, while
the home Gamer is frequently re-
sponsible for proper caution in pack
ing and for inspection of the product.
A can, the contents of which is suit
able for consumption, when opened
should be free from swell or escaping
gas. The contents should have the
proper color, texture, and odor for
the product canned, and should be
absolutely free from any foreign or
offensive odor. All these things
should be noted before the product
is tasted.
On the other hand. if the vegetable.
fish, meat, or fruit in the a smells
and looks wholesome, so far as is
now known, there is no danger from
its consumption. The home Gamer

NINA MILLIONAIRE ARRESTED
FOR KILLING HIS son

j.. l.. Giroux, millionaire mine op-
orator, is under arrest at Nina ac-
eused of killing his son, George.
Giroux surrendered himself to the
Mineral county officials after a hurry
up trip TO Reno to obtain an attorney,
says the Gazette.
The report from Nina states that
the two men were dining together and
an argument over money matters
arose. Giroux said his son had come
to Marlette demanding money. He
says the Sol acted like a crazy man
and chased him all around the house
during the quarrel and it was neces-
sary to shoot in self defense. The son
was fatally wounded. He was i'm

Hawthorne, but died before medical

GOODBYE, JOHN.

The Supreme Court declared the
prohibition amendment legally and
constitutionally adopted last Monday.
The court declared the Volstead
act constitutional also. Thus ends
the legal fight to defeat both the
amendment and the law against
liquor and wines in America.
The whisky folks attacked both in
the courts. One ground upon which
it was expected to nullify the amend
ment was that it had not been legally
adopted in accordance with the re-
quirements of several state constitu-
tions. Several states required that
all constitutional amendments had to
20 to a referendum of the people.
The Supreme Court knocked this into
a cooked hat last week by saying that
Federal constitutional amendments
had to be adopted in the manner pro-
vided by the Federal constitution, and
state constitutional requirements had
nothing to do with it. Then the Vol
stead enforcement act was inveighed
against on the ground that it was
violation of states rights, in that
police powers were inherently matters
of state jurisdiction. Killed also.
Now the only chance in the world
for liquor and wines and beer to stage
a comeback legally in these United
States is for Congress to enlarge the
limitation of alcohol in drinks with
out such being Intoxicating. One
half of one per cent alcohol is now
the limit. Lots of wet states want
this increased to two and three
quarters per cent, contending that
this amount of alcohol in a beverage
is not intoxicating.
Goodbye, John.

GOV. BROUGH DECLINES.

Gov. Brough, of Arkansas, has de
clined the presidency of the A. & M.
College, because he is under contract
with the Chamber Of Commerce of
Arkansas.
This leaves thc trustees in bad
plight for if they offer the presidency
around indiscriminality they will en-
danger the college and discredit the
presidency.
They ought to offer the presidency
to Mr.. Walker and settle the mat
ter as soon as possible.

DON'T LIKE 1T A TALL.

The Dispatch confesses we do not
like this Tuesday half a day closing
a tall.
Everybody goes fishing or to the
ball game, and no body is left up town
except the newspaper men and the
policemen, and newspaper men never
got in trouble and don't need the
policemen and the policemen don't
know anything anyhow.
The only chance to get news is by
the phone or an aeroplane. We have
no air flivver and you can't get con-
nection with any body with every
body gone.
Half the town has gone fishing and
the other half is roofing at the ball
game.
II is bad enough to work at all,
but to have to work when everybody
else has quit is awful.
We will probably call conference
and call strike. That seems to be
the cure-all for everybody who wants
to quit work and we are growing to
try it.
But seriously wouldn't il be better
to close about three afternoons each
week, at say five o'clock, instead of
closing all of orc afternoon? Business
eoald run on, the banks would stay
open and every fellow could make his
schedule without serious inconveni-
ence.
The people of the county could
come here and trade until five o'clock,
which is as late as they trade any
way, They would be assured that
they will find their house open and
doing business,
Production is low enough, business
is dull enough without further cur
failing it one whole halliday.
Now, Of course, we realize that we
can't have this thing to suit every
body but for us we want the other
plan, an hour for three days of the
week, rather than five hours for one
day.
The merchants and the clerks ought
to get together and try out the other
plan.

Says Public Rights
Are Not Paramount

Washington, June 8.-"The public
has no rights which are superior to
the toilers' rights to live and to his
right to defend himself against OPP
pression," Samuel Gomperss declares
in his deferred replies to three ques-
tons asked him by Gov. Allen of
Kansas in their debate at New York
May 20. Mr.. Gompers' replies were
made public Saturday night by the
American Federation of Labor.
Gov. Allen asked whether the pub
lie had any rights in a strike af-
fecting the production or distribution
of the necessities of life, thus threat
ening the public peace and impairing
the public health" and if so how
would Mr.. Gompers protect those
rights. He also asked who controlled
"the divine right" of employees to quit
work.
Declaring that union men and wom-
en- formed onc-fourth of the public,
Mr.. Gompers said strikes in which
the public peace have been threaten
ed usually have been strikes in
which the employers or public off
Gals influenced by employers have
created the breach Of peace by the
use of thugs arnsf guards and de-
tectives."
Labor" continued Mr., Gompers,
"has no desire to cause inconveni-
ence to the public, of which it is a
part. The right to strike must be
and will be maintained. Not only as
a measure of self defense and self
government, but as a measure neces-
sary to public progress"
