ON THE
INSIDE

1t may not be generally known, but
it is a fact that should be borne in
mind, that Samuel Gompers' son has
been very tenderly cared for by the
Democratic administration since it
came into power. AT the present time
he is chief clerk of the department of
labor, with a salary of $500 per year.
Perhaps that is one of the reasons
why his notorious father is such a
staunch Democrat. Ostensibly a non
partisan. and with his thoughts cen
tered on the welfare of the laboring
man regardless of partisan politics
the elder Gompers is n of the most
steadfast supporters that Mr.. Wilson
ever had. Not since the present CAM
paign for the presidency started has
Mr.. Gompers had anything but praise
for Cox and his platform, or anything
but criticism for the Republican plat
form and its candidate. And that will
be his attitude to the end.

If the Democratic Vice-presidential

THE cox
SMOKE SCREEN

Candidate Cox says the Republicans
have planned" to raise fifteen mil
lions to buy the presidency. Buy it
from whom? If it's for sale it ought
to be abolished. And who's going to
sell it? Certainly they wouldn't buy
it from Republicans, and certainly
the Democrats, who now control it,
wouldn't sell it. If the Republicans
want to raise twenty millions and
patriotic American citizens want to
give it to insure escape from the
kind Of government that now afflicts
them and which Mr.. Cox tells us he
likes-if they want to give twenty
millions, then let Mr.. Hays and Mr..
Upham take it. They can use every
dollar of it lawfully, morally. re-
ligiously and periodically. A reli-
gious organization recently attempted
to raise a hundred millions to spread
the gospel of Jesus Christ, but not
to buy the throne of God.
This kind of smoke screen won't
obscure the league of nations. Mr.
Cox. and no man who believes the
presidency can be bought is big
enough to occupy it.-GGoldfeld Tri-
bune.

THEY'RE GOING
BACK

Farmers coming into Winnemucca
on business tell us the boys are actu-
ally going back to the farm. that the
much talked of back to the farm
movement has set in. And the labor
bureau of the United States shows the
rural labor shortage is now but fifteen
per cent against twenty-six per cent
a few months ago.
1t is due to the fact that there has
been a sort Of slowing down in the
industries. In several sections the
mills and the factories have been
gradually reducing their forces, and
as they had drawn their labor from
the farms, the laborers naturally re
turned to the farms.
But the main thing that has sent
the boys back to the farm is the in
creased wages. That is the thing, in
fact, that must always regulate farm
labor-the wage. When farmland!
were paid twenty-five or thirty dol
lars a month, and factories in the
cities we're paying from five to eight
dollars a day, the farm couldn't nolt
labor. But with farm wages advanced
a fellow finds that at the end of the
year he has more money than h,
would have in the city and he is goin,
to seek a job on the farm. 1t is simpl!
a process which keeps everything
properly balanced, and it can be bu
a short time now until the factorie.

SIDESTEPS

Mister Cox has started something
with his talk about a fifteen million
dollar Republican fund. OF course. he
made the figure high enough to lend
color, II possible, to the suggestion
that no such fund can be expended
legitimately in the interest of a party
candidate. But when the senate cam
paign investigating committee calls
on Mr.. Cox for proofs of his charges,
he appears unwilling and unready to
deliver the information he processes
to have in his possession. He de-
clares that he is going to give it to
the public in his own time and season
date he should be permitted to give it
out in such manner as he sees fit and
as public interest and declares that
II should be the judge as to whether
1t is to be given" That is citizen
ship-of a kind-for you. He charges
ia effect, that the Republicans are
preparing to buy the presidency and
attempts to dodge and sidestep when
the senate committee calls on him
to s~ubstantiate his charges. If there
is any attempt at corruption by any
party, the senate committee members
want to know about it-and should be
given the information in the interest
of the public and of u government
The expressed willingness of Messrs.
Hays and White, Republican and
Democratic national chairmen, re
spectively, to attend the senate com
mittee hearings and tell all they know
is a lot more creditable than the re-
ported attitude of Mr.. Cox. 1t would
appear too much as though he wishes
to string" the public along in the
hope that it will bring him votes
Probably Wilson has told him that
Democratic Presidents and Democra-
tic candidates for the presidency ere
superior to the senate of the United
States.

CHRISTMAS AGAIN.

Those of us who have seen the Christmas period come and
go, can say, christmas again.
w have sometimes thought of Christmas as a time when
the skies above were rent and when heaven let down upon earth
a basket filled with all the sweets and joys of life; as a time
when the connecting lines between this life and the great he
yOnd We're touched with new life and when the sign boardslead-
We all recognize that tt S a time when our souls are pos
seSsed with greater charity and when the gentlest and most
appealing in us asserts itself. We have a tenderer feeling for
our fellowman, and if there is any one time in the year when the
good in us is master over the bad, that time is Christmas.
The worst in us surrenders to ChUstmas. The world forgets
for one day at least its struggle and we become placid and Sc
rene. In that one day, we come nearer meeting the SaviOr's
requirement to be "as little children" This idea fixes our at
in the birth of a little child and that that child was the son of
the living God. So it is that Christmas is the greatest of all
festive days.
1t is good for the world that Christmas does come. 1t
loosens us up. 1t makes us forget the unpleasant things that
have transpired in the months that are past and to forget the
little ism of society and the struggles incident to existence
we are more than ever inclined to try to see our neighbor from
his angle and to try to place the very best construction on his
acts. 1t is a time when we really feel like rubbing off the slate
and starting again with a clean one.
Christmas is the day when the mind runs back to childhood
and when it lives over again the scenes around the family fire
side; when the image of father and mother and other loved
youth come Scamperlng to view. Memory is a hallOwed priv
lege. And 50 as we watch the children, and as we observe the
Christmas spirit in the adult and even old age, we are at times
inclined to drop a tear because we failed to appreciate the sac
r1fice and toll of our parents who made possible for us such
happy Christmases in the days which can be lived over again
only IN memory. And if we but in some slight measure realize
that the sacrifice of our parents was that we might be made
happy and glad, how much more should we realize the sacri-
flee and suffering of Him in whose life all these blessed things
anchor?
The Sentinel hopes that its readers may forget whatever is
unpleasant IN the year that is so soon to close, and that Deem
Der rs, 1920 may give each and all of them a new vision of
duty to each other and to God and that out of this period may
grow such gracious experiences as shall enable them to more

THE SUITS AGAINST THE FIRE INSURANCE COMP MES

Only recently, as the reading public knows, State Revenue
Agent. Stokes Y. Robertson, filed suits against the fire insur

said companies were violating the antitrust law, which, if true
would give the courts authority to assess the companies with
damages exceeding a billion dollars.

the other very distressing and very embarrassing financial con.

But basicaly. the question, in our judgment is: Are the in

tney are, then they should be proceeded against: if thew are
not violating the law, then the suits filed against them will
amount to nothing. The fact that the companies are threaten

From very ancient times supersti-
tious beliefs have existed concerning
rain, and many quaint little rites have
been performed by agricultural people
anxious for The welfare of their crops.
For a cat to appear unusually restless
is still held by some to be sure sign
of rain. 1t has also been noticed that
when the COWS all lie down in the
fields rain very often follows before
long, usually of a more or less violent
character. In one of the northern
provinces Of India the maidens used
to have a quaint custom. When rain
was desired they would sally forth
with Jars of water, which they calmly
poured down the backs Of any old
women they happened to pass This
dangerous practice is now, fortunate
~, out of date. Some people believe
/ to this day that, in a case of severe
drought, nogging the surface of rivers,
ponds, etc, will quickly call up rG
