THE WAVE OF
LAWLESSNESS

Half of the space in the metropoli-
tan newspapers today is used to re-
port robberies, hold-ups. murders,
suicides and family troubles Of vari-
GUS kinds, In leading San Fran
cisco daily the life history of one of
the most noted recent train robbers
is being run in a sensational form
tending to make martyr out Of the
man and idolize him in the eyes of the
youth of the land.
A recent report of hold-up of two
women in San Francisco says: II hate
to do 1t, lady, but l am up against 1t.
Give me work and wont have 70 rob
If you scream | will shoot" The gen.
eral impression left in the readers
mind after reading the story Is that
1t was necessary for gentleman high
wayman to get money in this manner.
The papers in various cities are full
OF similar instances. What is the
remedy for this condition? Most OF
these robberies and cases of law
breaking are due to standards of liv-
ing which have been developed be-
yond the means of the individual to
satisfy Too many persons drew more
money during the inflated war wage
period than they will ever be able to
earn through their ability or skill
Preachers of discomfort have tried to
make millions believe that they are
entitled to a living from some Other
mans work.
It is this false reasoning which
must be knocked out of the minds OF
thousands of criminals and would-be
criminals before the present era o.
crime can be curbed.

Rogers of Massachusetts, has favorably
reported the resolution, already
agreed on in the Senate, authorizing
the President to invite foreign nations
to participate in the exposition to be
held at Portland. Oregon in 1925. 1t
is probable that the resolution will
receive the Presidents signature in
the near future and become law. 1t

will contribute materially to the sue
cess of the affair, as they have on SIM

HOW==
FOOTPRINTS OF SOLDIERS
HAVE BEEN PRESERVED
Footprints. 100 years old, OF a
Hawaiian army that fled from
the wrath of Pele, goddess OF
the active volcano of kilauea,
near Hilo, are believed to have
been discovered In the kau de-
sert. south of the greater crater,
by Prof. I. A. Jaeger, Jr., In
charge of the volcano observa-
tory
Or. Jaeger and his party we're
exploring a region far removed
from any of the known modern
trails when they came upon an
area thickly covered with the
imprint of naked feet, all point
ing In one direction, all deep at
the toes and light at the heels,
indicating that the makers OF
the tracks had been running Mt
top speed.
The tracks had been made In
volcunic ash, which Is strongly
impregnated with sulphuric acid
and gypsum. and which. when
wet by rain. settles into hard
concrete This explains the
preservation of the imprlnts for
a period believed 10 have
stretched over more than cen
fury and quarter.
Hawaiian legend and history
provide the other side of the
story, the connection between
the Kau desert tracks and the
flight of the army of Keoua. king
of Kau. from Pele's wrath.
Keona led an army of three
dlyisio against King kameha-
meha, who later united all the
Hawaiian islands @under his
sway, In the year 1890. This
year also recorded the last ex-
plosive eruption OF Kilauea.
Hawaiian legend records the
fact that some Of Keoua's war
riors rolled stones into Kilauea
crater to mark their disrespect
for the goddess OF the molten
lake. Whatever the reason for
the outburst, Pele rose In her
wrath and. with q terrific OK
plosive eruption. totally wiped
ont the second division Of
keoua's army.
The footprints found In the
Kau desert are believed to be
those of men Of the first dlvi-
sion, who, seeing the destruc-
tion If their comrades In the
rear. fled from the locality. The
third division, coming up, saw
the bodies Of the annihilated
second and halted.
The area In which the foot
prints were discovered Is part
Of the new Kilauea national
park, which will be dedicated
this year, and steps have al.
ready been taken to inclose the
tracks and preserve them.

TEN YEARS AGO
August IL. 1911

At 2:15 this afternoon the fire bell
rang sharp alarm, which was
promptly responded to by the depart
ment as well as citizens generally.
The fire turned out OF be at the res
idence of Recorder Bonnifield, corner
of Fifth and Bridge streets, the blaze
burning up fiercely from the rear of
the house. The fire was caused by the
explosion of a coal oil stove in the
kitchen, over which Miss Blanche
Bonnifield was standing, and this
young lady had narrow escape from
serious injury, the blaze slightly
burning her about the face and head.
The blaze was quickly extinguished,
and at this hour 1t Is hard to estimate
the damage done.
There is no place In the world
where good roads can be built as
cheaply as in Nevada, and there Is
probably no other section of the
United States where such an invest
ment would bring better returns.
Good roads will not only bring thou
sands of autoists through the state,
but they will also materially assist In
opening up the fertile valleys and in
developing the latent mining re-
sources. Nevada can make no better
investment than in the building of
good roads and plenty of them.
