SECRET OF SUCCESS

I have often been asked to define
the true secret of success. 1t is thrift
In all its phases, thrift as applied to
saving. A young man may have many
friends. but he will find none so
steadfast, 80 constant, so ready to
respond to his wants, so capable Of
pushing him ahead. as little leather
covered book, with the name of a
bank on it's cover. Saving is the first
great principle Of all success. It cre-
ates independence. 1t gives a young
man standing. It fills him with vigor,
It stimulates him with the proper
energy; In fact, 1t brings to him the
best part of any success-happiness
and contentment. II it were possible
to inject the quality of saving into
every boy, we would have a great
many more real men.-Sir Thomas
Upton.

ONLY ONE WAY TO ENFORCE LAW

Years, yes centuries, have taught
us that the only way to make a crimi-
nal respect the laws was to enforce
them, that to show lienency was to
invite further violations. The bill be-
fore the legislature repeating the in
discriminate law has been reported
out Of committee favorably and every
member Of both the house and senate
should vote for the bill. There has
been entirely too much coddling of
the criminals for the good of the
criminals themselves and at the ex-
pense OF the public. Nowadays 1t Is a
common expression that q term In
the state penitentiary Is nothing more
nor less than a Joke and not a pun
ishment.
1t costs money to prosecute a map
for q crime! the trial takes men away
from their bushes and work; and
when finally a conviction Is secured
and sentence is passed, it is discour-
aging to the average citizen to have
the prisoner turned loose even be-
fore he has served his minimum SEN
tence. Just that happened in the IA
nous ham and bacon" case. when
Miles and Mcmahon were convicted
after thousands of dollars had been
spent. They were sent to the state
penitentiary under the indeterminate
law and were to serve not less than
two nor more than fifteen years. TIA,
other day both men returned to Elko
having been released by the pardon
board before the two years were up.
Then there was the case of the cold
blooded murder Of the Jarbidge stage
driver. One of the worst crimes ever
known to have been committed In
Elko county. Kuhl was found guilty
and sentenced to death, but the par
don board steps In and commutes the
sentence to life Imprisonment; and If
they are not blocked they will pardon
this inhuman monster.
The governor has the constitutional
right to exercise the right of pardon.
That cannot be taken away from him
and is sufficient to release any inno-
cent man. But the power of the par
don board should be taken away for
the simple reason that they have
abused the power, and have shown
that they do not have enough sense to
apply it properly. Politics enters too
often In their actions.-Elko Free
Press.
