COMMUNISM TRIED BY
CHINA LONG AGO

In current article Hsu Shih-
Chang. president of the Chinese Re-
public and noted as scolorly writer
and historic authority. calls attention
to the fact that communism which has
ruined Russia under the Soviet regime
was tried inChina seven centuries ago,
and likewise there resulted a general
famine, bloodshed, misery. despair,
bloody oppression.
After twenty years of Indebtedness
the Chinese abandoned the disastrous
experiment as the Russians are
likely soon to do. and went back to
sanity and recognition o. the princi-
Piles Of private ownership and per-
sonal liberty.
, This is an another example of the
truth that China, In her history of
5000 years or more, has tried many
things which In these days seem novel
to Europeans and Americans. and
found them wanting in wisdom or
security.
Hsu Shih-Chang mildly advocates
policy of peace throughout the
world.
He declares the League of Nations
a failure because its members AFRO
gate to themselves full license to
steal from their neighbors."

HUMBOLDT GETS 6 DELEGATES
TO EACH PARTY CONVENTION

Coming back to the subject of
state conventions. One of the best
informed democrats of the state has
given 1t some attention. He has fig
ured out that under the provisions of
the new law ninety-two delegates will
be entitled to seats in the convention,
with the following representation by
counties Churchill 5. Clark Z. Doug
las1, Elko 10, Esmeralda 4. Eureka 2.
Humboldt 6, Lander 2, Lincoln 3.
Lyon 3. Mineral 2, Nye IL. Ormsby A.,
Pershing 3. Storey 2. Washoe Is and
White Pine 9. With all counties fully
represented forty-seven would be
necessary for control. 1t is pointed
out that the four largest counties,
Washoe, Nye, Elko and White Pine
with their delegations voting as
units would dominate with forty-eight
votes. 1t has already been suggested
that to make impossible such COM
bination interested outsiders" see
that contests are waged in the four
big counties and that split delegations
be sent to the state convention.
The republicans will be entitled to
state convention of 1876 delegates
as follows Churchill s, Clark 6,
Douglas S, Elko ~. Esmeralda 4.
Eureka 3, Humboldt 6. Lander 3, Lin
coin 4. Lyon Q, Mineral 3. Nye IA,
Ormsby 6, Pershing s, Storey 3.
Washoe 80 and White Pine IL. The
socialists may hold a state conven-
ton with a maximum of 10 accredited
delegates, only two counties, Church

gate apiece in addition to the one
allowed by law. no matter how small
