Nevada is rapidly becoming similar
to other older states. Settlers look
at the things that go to make up
desirable spots in which to reside.
Newspapers have got to commence
realizing these facts before others
can be expected to. And Nevada
newspapers have got to commence
conducting themselves as newspapers
do in other states. There must be a
functioning press association, as
there are In other states-organiza
ton is the first step always.
The day of the newspaper that de-
ponds upon patronage" is about
over in Nevada. Production costs
are mounting too high. Space must
be sold because it's worth it and must
no longer be given away.
We don't know but what the Gold
field and Lovelock publishers are cor
rect in their stand. Why should a
newspaper be the goat always? Why
should newspaper publishers always
think of the welfare of the community
to their own detriment when the mer-
chants directly affected aren't wor-
ried? Maybe accepting advertising in
competition with local concerns is the
way to arouse merchants with the
old-fashioned idea and make them
jazz up a little bit They're losing
money and SO are the newspapers the
way 1t is now.

THE COURT HOUSE
INVESTIGATION

We have been asking people what
they thought of the court house prop
osition every chance we've had and
find a hundred different ideas are
available. And to tell the truth we're
just little bit up in the air ourselves
concerning the status of the affair
One thing we're glad for, though, and
that is that 1t is right out in the pub
lie light where everyone can take a
look at it and form an opinion. 1t
is a public matter, and in our opinion
all public matters and public officers
are fit subjects for consideration by
the public.
We've had the grand jury's side of
the building and paid Investigators
version, and we've had an expression
from the architect. One thing we'll
say for Mr.. Sewers is that he in
dulged in no name calling in his re-
port and apparently gave facts as he
found them. On the other hand Ar
chitect DeLongchamps, whose letter
was received yesterday after the edi-
torial of the day before had been
printed, has been wronged if it is true
he was not supposed to see that
proper materials were used. We'd
like to inquire, though, just what he
received a fat fee of something like
eleven thousand dollars for Surely
1t was not worth that much just 10
draw the plans. We may be wrong
in our understanding that that was
the amount he received. Also, how
does it come that he was the man
who always informed the commits
sioners when contractors had COM
pleted certain percentages of the
work-in fact certified to the amount
of work done? There are undoubt-
eddy other questions that may bl
asked That little why is a mighty
powerful word.
One note of warning we want to
sound. We notice, in conversations,
willingness on the part of some to
condemn those not present to defend
themselves. We also note willing
ness to make political capital of the
matter. 1t is not fair to attack I'M
less in the good old American way
right square out in the open, where
a man can defend himself.
Another thing. calling of names is
not argument. All the name calling
and character backing in the world
is not effective with men and women
who think for themselves.
The Silver State is still of opinion
another man, one known to be active
in the building trade. should be aD-
pointed to make an investigation of
the court house. to refute the charges
of the grand jury and Sewers. or
back them up with additional facts
The public is in the same position as
The Silver State now, only more SO
because they haven't access to infor-
nation quite so easily, and that is
insufficient light has been thrown
upon the situation to form a definite
opinion. This is public matter and
the public is entitled to all of the
facts. Making it personal doesn't
help a bit in formation of correct
opinion. If wrong has been done let's

JAZZING UP
ADVERTISERS


At least two Nevada newspapers
have started in on their own account
In curing an apparent lack of In
terest on the part of merch ants III
this state concerning newspaper adj
vertising. These are the Goldfield
Tribune, which carries a full-page ad
for strictly mail-order concern, and
the Lovelock Review-Miner, which is
accepting copy from Reno merchants.
It Is safe to say every editor has
thought of doing the same thing, at
times when it appeared his efforts
were not at all appreciated, but ore
thing has always held them back, and
that was fear of hurting the town."
The Silver State has refused to print
display ads for San Francisco stores,
even when the business was much
more attractive than that which can
be secured in Winnemucca. The copy
came well prepared, with no effort on
our part, and with cuts to make it
show up nicely in the paper. But the
thought that it would surely result In
some persons sending money out of
this city, to detriment of civic prog
ress, made us reluctantly refuse good
American money.
1t Is a strange fact that there is
only one city in Nevada in which the
merchants advertise at all properly,
excepting Reno, and we can't hand
that city any boquets on the score.
and that progressive city is Fallon.
Fallon has two weekly newspaper
and they're both aggressive and pro-
gressive sheets, made so by good ad-
vertising patronage. These news
papers are real forces in the upbuild-
ing of Fallon, and we'll predict that
city is going to race rings around the
rest of Nevada. Why is it that Fail
lon merchants advertise? Because
the population there is made of up
people who have resided elsewhere,
who have travelled and realize the
benefit advertising has accomplished
for others. They know advertising
is the short cut to success.
Nevada is still living lin the good
old days, when money and everything
else were easy" No attention was
x>o;a a., tba uo~d old davoD ~ thu
amount of taxes assessed, to civic
welfare and Improvement, and news
papers coasted along on the spirit of
the times. So did merchants. They
figured there was just so much bust
ness anyhow, and as people wouldn't
look twice at "two-bits" the news
papers and merchants got what bust
ness they wanted and let it go at that.
1t has resulted in positive ignorance
of modern methods of merchandising
by advertising, and newspapers have
gotten into a rut they cannot seem to
get out of. They experience difficulty
in educating" advertisers.
But times have changed in this
good old state. The rough and ready
population Is gone and steady people
from other states have taken the
place Of the prospector and pioneer.
Business lines are tightening aud
competition grows keen. The people
now composing the population are
used to looking at their money twice
and they have been used to bargains.
So the state has become a fertile
ground for the mail-order houses, be-
cause they spend more per order on
advertising that Nevadans ever
dreamed of. People have commenced
to look over the tax rates and money
from that source is no longer easy"

wayne COUNTY FUND
FOR IRISH RELIEF IS
NOW over $1,000

More than $1,000 has already been
raised in Wayne county for relief
work in Ireland, says an announce
ment here today. The campaign is
still under way. Philip Furnas, a
young Quaker who has graduated
from Earlham college, is taking an
active part in the distribution of re-
lief in Ireland
State Chairman P. C. Reilly, of the
Indiana committee which is conduct
ing the campaign in this state, in the
interests of the American committee
for relief in Ireland, said today that
approximately 100000 had SO far been
reported as having been contributed
by about one-third of the counties of
Indiana. Present indications are that
$150,000 will have been secured when
all the counties now organized have
reported. Local campaigns in some
cities have not as yet been started
organized and intensive solicitation
start within the next two weeks.
Needs Increase
olISSocu Pal IlCUldI
ly the fact that the reports daily re
ceived from Ireland. which are made
by the Quaker commission now in
that country, indicate that the need
of help is increasing rather than de
creasing.
The suffering Of children is pitiable
Thousands of Dublin school children
are subsisting upon scanty rations OF
bread and cocoa only. In Cork SOC
ia miles were rendered destitute by
the burning of the city and are the
objects of charity, dependent entirely
upon the help of the American com
mittee.
Some 55 creameries have been to
tally destroyed. thus shutting off the
food supplies of hundreds of children
and throwing out of employment the
heads of families. In the 1nvestiga
ton by the Quaker commission it de
velops that in % creameries the milk
was supplied by 5000 dairymen whose
families totalled 10000 persons.
The work of the American commit
tee is absolutely non-political, non
sectarian, and is conducted for hu
manitarian purposes only. The say
ing of the lives of the suffering won
en- and children of Ireland is the one
and only object. All funds secured
