Let's return to Iowa The aver
age farm is 80 acres. Bill Smith
owns it and he and his boys have
made it what it is. 1t produces a
good living for them. But Bills
oldest boy gets married. He wants
to set out for himself. He knows
how to farm. He has the energy
necessary to make farming a sue
ceSsful adventure for him. There
is no room on his fathers so acres
for another family. The boy casts
about TO buy but finds he cannot get
any land, and if he could find it he
couldn't pay the price. What does
he do? Come South? No! Good
farmer that he is, he goes to the city
and seeks work in some factory or
other and the United States has lost
another producer and another group
of mouths are added to those al
ready necessary to be fed by the
overtaxed farm lands.
That boy would come South if he
knew. But he doesn't. Some few
have come. They have failed here
for various reasons. There is no
reaon for them to fail In the first
place we have not treated them
right, and in the second place they
have come South blindly, expecting
to get rich in year or two.
There are two classes of farmers
that we do not want to come South.
The first is the old farmer from the
North, successful there and set in his
way with sufficient money to buy
and pay for some place already in
cultivation down here. The other
class we don't want is the man with
out anything.
There is one class we do want.
And he is the man with small means,
plenty of energy, and a willingness
to exert it to make a success of a
hard job-development of virgin
land.
Such a man if given the use of
virgin land-such as our cut-over--
for a period of five years, without
any payment down on the land and
without any interest on the sale
price for that period, could and
would develop it, more especially
if all improvements such as house,
a barn, or outhOuses, were to be
paid for by him cash.
Let mill, for instance, that owns
thousands of acres of this surplus
land, sell this man so or 100 acres
Of land without a nickle paid down
and no interest to be paid on the
note for five years and then the pur-
chase price to be paid in five annual
installments. The man in turn pays
the mill in cash for the material to
build a house and a harm Both are
protected and both benefit alike.
The mill sells the lumber for cash
and has that Improvement on the
land. The purchaser has a home
and five years to work on his land
building it to a state Of production
sufficient to pay for itself.
There is plenty of land here
there are plenty of men elsewhere
The latter will come South if they
kneW--but they must be told.

'LET PATIENCE HAVE
HER PERFECT WORK.

When you go to a circus, theatre,
or any place where crowd is striv-
ing to gain admission, you take your
place in line and patiently wait until
you get up to the main entrance. You
don't fret about the time that is being
consumed. and you keep your temper
and finish up In good humor.
And yet unless you are far differ
ent from the average citizen of Win
nemucca, If you start to call someone
by telephone and don't get the num-
Der within a second or two, you're
angry and want to give the telephone
operator "a piece Of your mind" Have
you noticed it? And haven't you no.
ticed that the very people who can
stand inconvenience in almost any
other form, can't hold their temper
when they're trying to get someone by
phone? Certainly you have; and we
dare say you've been guilty of the
same offense.
Maybe it's just trait of human
nature-but at that it's bad one. For
the telephone operator would much
sooner give you your number quickly
and take chances on getting a mo-
ment's rest than she would in holding
you on the line and having to listen
to sharp words or abuse. We've
started in on new year now, and its
good long while to the end of it.
Why wouldn't it be good idea to re-
solve, even at this late date, to try
and be just as patient with the rele-
phone operators during the remainder
of the year as we are when we are in
line at a circus?

OF, BY, AND FOR,
THE PEOPLE

That the next four years are going
to see a government by all the people
rather than through the will of one
man in the White House, is demon
strated by the conferences now going
on at Marion. All shades OF public
opinion are represented in the men
who have been invited to confer with
President Harding, and his poll
eies after March are bound to reflect
the influence of the views he has
heard expressed.
So far as the executive branch of
government Is concerned, the admin
istration of Mr.. Harding will be es-
sentially Republican, but the Demo-
cratic minority will never be treated
with the contempt bestowed on the
Republican minority by President
Wilson. Their advice will be received
and given a respectful hearing by The
new executive. and adopted if it con-
tributes to the establishment of a
sound American government. =

AN IMPORTANT
0RECI LESSON

The Silver State has no desire L
prolong the nine-days wonder OF
certain persons that WinneInueca
should stand unequivocally, and bv a
large majority, for enforcement oil
law and the unfolding of the Consti-
tuition of the United States. Unless
further unlooked-for developments
arise, this will be the last editorial
mention made of the recent appoint
ment of a night Waterman to work
in harmony with the man whom the
people selected as a law-enforcemeni
officer.
This newspaper does propose. how
ever. to call attention of the people
by one incident, and in the form OF
an object-lesson, how insidious Is the
program which is carefully planned
to defeat the will of the people. The
average person, 1t may be assumed
reads a seeming news" article in 2
newspaper, and accepts as fact, more
or less straight, what is therein said
If the article is cunningly planned to
create a false impression 1t may very
easily succeed to a considerable ex
tent: and the people, believing that
which is not true, will be led astray
(The same Is even more true of sto
ries told on the streets.)
We take as the object lesson ar
article appearing in the Reno Gazette
under date of December 81. We show
It up line by line, and the people car
be trusted to see the light. They un-
derstand the reason of the propa,
ganda. The article:
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1921-01-04

A lions roar induces respect-but
you are no lion.
About the only persons who really
are overworked are the mothers of
large families.
Many woman who is compelled
to ride in a Ford wishes bustles had
not gone out of style.
One thing about high prices, you
didn't hear of SO many hats being
bet on the election.
The former kaiser's doctor has
quit his job. Even a doctor can't live
forever on a reputation.
Revenge is sweet (perhaps) but no
Winnemucca man wants 1t as sub
stitute for sugar in his coffee.
t / t
The pessimist always looks as
though he was afraid it would cost
him few cents to look pleasant.
tt r
Sometimes, after a Winnemucca
man has been married in church it's
almos impossible to get him back
tnere.
The man who would rather fight
than eat" generally does not feel so
much like eating after the fighting
is over.
1t keeps near statesman SO busy
trying to look like real one that
he doesn't have much time to act
like one.
The only exercise a certain class
of four-flushers gets is holding a
conversation over the heads of the
audience.
tt
We can't understand why some of
the cigars smoked in Winnemucca
are not sold by the ton, the same as
ordinary fodder.
England is going to reduce the
price of coal $1.25 ton. That looks
like one foreign idea that would be
worth importing.
A lot of them don't know it, but
no woman ever made a permanent
hit with a man by pretending to be
something she isn't.
TIT
1t has been our observation that
some Winnemucca men are better
acquainted with Faith and Hope than
they are with charity.
I t t
Now comes a Chicago man with
this query: IF the women do form
a third political party will their EN-
blem be the spare-rib?"
tt
When you run across Winnie
mucca man who is always quarreling
about something, you run across
man who's growing old.
TT
The man who is always hunting for
something for nothing will generally
accept advice instead of going to a
lawyer and paying for it.
TIT
One Winnemucca mans lot is
about as bad as another's. A bald
headed man saves ON hair-cuts, but
has to spend the money for hair tonic.
ttt
This Is also the time of year when
| we reflect on the conditions Of some
| roads leading out of Winnemucca and
| thank our stars we don't have to
| travel.
| One of the strangest things in the
world is why an old woman wraps
| from head to foot when she goes out.
and a young woman wraps only half
wav up and down.
Girls with large ears should cheer
up. The fashion now says you must
uncover your ears SO far as your hair
is concerned, but the winter season
is upon us and you may wear ear
bobs.'
If your friends 1atter you, that
doesn't mean anything, because
| friends are supposed to do that; but
If your enemies knock you, that
means you amount to something, or
they wouldn't take the time to do it.

know, and as the record will testify.
The application of George H. Clark
was read together with the one men
toned by the alleged reporter who
was present.
"Hickman's appointment was backed
by the Women's Citizens Club"
There is no such thing as a Wo-
mems Citizens Club in Winnemucca.
There is no kind of Citizens club
in Winnemucca, so far as The Silver
State knows. There is no club, so far
as we know, which even bears the
name "Women's."
Hickman's appointment was backed
by no one but the Council and the
marshal. Citizens wanted Nelson TO
have his choice, in order that he might
better perform the duties of his Office
They elected him. three to one, and
they did not propose that he should
be saddled by an inharmonious APP
pointee.
@Twenty-three of whom we're pres
emf at the Council meeting, nearly all
OF whom expressed their views.
A combination OF half-truth and
direct falsehood. More than twenty
three women were present, and only
four of them expressed their views"
Those views were very much in ac-
cord with the views of the Council
and with the views of The Silver
State. They were patriotic views.
The ladies pleaded for respect for law
and upholding of the Constitution.
They urged one of the fundamentals
of this overnment-respect for the
will of the people expressed at the
polls. They carried their point, as
they could not help but do even were
the Council opposed to them-which
the Council was not
The implication goes forth that
this meeting of the Council was some
thing in the nature of 'hen party"
which wouldn't amount to much, once
the novelty had worn away. 1t says
nothing about the larger number
of men who were present, and who
also expressed their views" in re-
spouse to requests by the Council. 1t
the Council in refusing licenses to
two places which had been conducted,
as the Council was fully convinced, in
defiance of law and in contempt of
the Constitution, and against which
places no action has ever been taken
by officers in whom the people had
put their trust, and whom the people
had felt called upon to repudiate by
their votes.
The revocation of these licenses
was the news feature of the Council
meeting story, and without doubt the
reporter who fixed up the article for
the Gazette knew that much. That
the news was suppressed may seem
to have meaning all its own. 1t is
not the first time that newspaper has
been led to deliberately and offensive
ly misrepresent Winnemucca. The
rendering of charity to Piute Indians
is still fresh in memory.
Any citizen of Winnemucca or Me-
vada who is so blindly ignorant. or
so villainously unpatriotic as to advo-
cate defiance of the Constitution of
the United States. will be awakened
to the enormity of his offense. The
mills Of the gods grind slowly" per-
haps, "but they grind exceeding fine. "
We believe the Constitution of the
United States, as the expressed will
and basic law of and for the
people of the United States, to be a
God-inspired document. We believe
no man, nor set of men, nor aggrega-
ton of nations can ever successfully
defy it. or hold it in contempt.
We want the names of those who
dare try it!
