tending to advance the best inter-
ests of his state. He was especially
prominent in early day politics and
at one time represented Washoe
county on the board of county COM
missioners.
He was especially active and
prominent in fraternal activities,
being past grand chancellor and
past grand representative of the
Knights of Pythias, being a mem
Der of Capitol Lodge No. a, of Car
son City.
In Odd Fellowship, of which he
became member forty-nine years
ago, he was the senior past grand
master of the jurisdiction of Nevada
and was one of the present grand
representatives to the sovereign
grand lodge. He held membership
in Reno Lodge No. Ia, |. O. o. F.,
and was also member of Queen
Esther Rebekah Lodge, No. 8, of
Sparks.
He was an enthusiastic member of
Reno Encampment No. 5, and al
ways was ready to devote his time
and talents to its success. He or
ganized the first Canton of Patri-
archs Militant in Nevada, at Reno
more than thirty years ago, and was
known as probably the best drill
master in this work in the west.
For many years Mr.. Mulcahy was
a member of the Nevada state
board of agriculture, and was one
of the directing officials of the Ne
vada exhibit at the Midwinter Fair,
in San FRANCISCO in 1898. He was
also for many years superintendent
of the pavilion at the Nevada State
fairs.
During his long residence in this
city Mr.. Mulcahy has largely added
to the list of those who held in high
esteem his sound judgment, his sage
advice and his untarnished honor
as a man. The state has lost a
sterling citizen in the passing yes
terday of Patrick Howard Mulcahy.

AUTO LAW To Be
STATE EMF 0RCED

81 find the most prevalent viola
ton of the motor vehicle law at the
present time to be the failure of
car owners to use both of their
license plates on their cars" said
ID. b. Renear, inspector of the Ne
vada state police, who arrived in
Elko yesterday to look after the
proper enforcement of that law,
says the Free Press.
Mr.. Renear arrived in the county
seat late yesterday afternoon, COM
ing from Ely, from which point he
reports the roads to be in very ex-
cellent condition. Accompanying
him was youth from the copper
town, sentenced to the Nevada
School of Industry from White Pine
county and delivered to the school
on Renear's arrival.
The purpose of Mr.. Renear's visit
at this time is to cooperate with
the local police officers in the pro-
per enforcement of the motor We
hicle law. In speaking of what he
has found in other parts of the
state, Renear said: "In addition to
the fact that so many motorists are
failing to use both of their license
plates, / also find an absence of the
registration cards properly signed
and placed on the dash of the cars.
This must be done, for the absence
of the registry notice and both Of
the plates while touring in other
states will work hardship on the
traveller.
an many counties of California,
tourists from Nevada have been
picked up this year having but one
plate attached to their cars, and
have suffered fines of from $40 to
S25 on account of it. This portion
of the law is new this year and
consequently greater diligence is
necessary to see that it is properly
observed"
Renear will remain in the city for
the next three or four days.

$25 TON TALC SOLD
AT RATE OF $4,000

A small can of talcum powder at
the corner drug store costs % cents,
which is at the rate of about $10,-
600 per. ton. How much of this
does the producer at the tale mine
receive? According to a report of
market conditions in a recent num-
Der of the Engineering and Mining
Journal-Press, he sells the finest
grade of his product for about $25
per ton. But who wants a ton of
even the finest kind of ground tale?
Consumers demand that it shall be
scented with expensive perfumes,
medicated with suitable drugs and
chemicals, and boxed in attractive
form. So the final cost bears little
relation to the actual value of the
raw material.
The high degree of fneness is
one of the principal requirements
which the producer must meet. The
finest wire screen that it is possi-
BILE to make is not satisfactory, and
the product must be screened
through Swiss silk or similar ma
terial.

ARE AGAINST
EVERYTHING

Saturday Evening Post: A for
mer chairman of the national COM
mittee of one of the two great
political parties was asked short
time ago if the Democrats had any
chance of winning the next presi-
dental election.
Nobody is for anything in this
country" he replied. Everybody
is against something. On that basis
alone and without regard to the
merits of the case, | think the OPP
position has en- excellent chance"
He went on to say that the atti-
tude of complaint, criticism, oppo-
sition and negation seems to have
very little to do fundamentally with
political parties, but that it is
merely a circumstance that might
well work for the benefit or injury
of particular parties.
Politics aside, there is no denying
the injury wrought by the prevail
ing attitude of Gliding and structure.
Specific criticism aimed at proved
and actually remediable abuses is
one thing; mere grousing against
everything in general is what dam
ages and destroys. Nothing is more
common than a sort of composite
attitude of dissatisfaction, discon-
tent, spleen and suspicion, which
is nearly always divorced from con-
structive and practical working sag
gestions for Improvement.
Those who are rich or in other
respects fortunate too often look
upon labor unions and their leaders,
together with most workmen, do
nestle servants and employees gem
orally, as robbers and loafers. Those
whose work is manual look upon
the rich the same way. Inventors
and others in search of capital re-
gard the banks as thieves, and
bankers quite often look upon those
in search of capital as unbalanced
cranks. Landlords and retailers are
generally supposed to be profiteers.
To those outside Of it Wall Street
is den of iniquity. To the city
man the farmer seems to be asking
for special privileges, the farmer
sees everyone else turned against
him. Everyone suspects everyone
else of raiding the public treasury
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-06-15

in the form of tariffs, bonuses, sub
sides or other special privileges.
1t would be possible to go on in
this way indefinitely. Perhaps there
will be more straight thinking as
the war recedes into the distance
and the hysteras that it set in
motion are slowly calmed. Mental
disturbances and economic fallacies
were stimulated also by the business
depression of 1920 and 1921. A
more reasoning attitude may accom-
pany less disturbed business move
ment. But responsibility for the
earping, grousing attitude of mind
cannot be wholly laid at the door
of the war or of the great economic
movements over which the individ-
ual has no control. There is no
such ready escape for any given
man or woman. No one is exempt
from the biting truth of this pas
sage from A. S. M. Hutchinson s
novel, If Winter Comes: "She
thought charity meant giving jelly
and red flannel to the poor, she
thought generosity meant giving
money to some one. She had no
idea that the only real charity is
charity of mind, the only real gen
crosby generosity of mind, and the
only real selfishness selfishness Of
mind"

SPARKS EDITOR
CALLED To RE WARD


After long period of enfeebled
health, p. H. Mulcahy, editor of the
Sparks Tribune for the past twelve
years, passed away at the family
home Wednesday afternoon at
1890. He had been confined to his
home for the greater portion of
the winter, but had been able to
rise from his bed and on pleasant
days make the trip down town, and
on the occasion of the meeting of
the |. O. O. f. grand lodges in this
city last week, attended some of the
sessions and made splendid and
eloquent address from the floor at
the meeting of the grand encamp-
ment.
1t was the hope of relatives and
friends that with the coming of
warm weather his strength would
return, but last evening he took
turn for the worse, and grew stead
lily weaker until his eyes closed in
that last long sleep.
Patrick Howard Mulcahy was a
pioneer of the west in all that the
term implies. He had large in
fluence in the upbuilding of Ne
vada during a residence in the state
of over fifty years.
Born in Australia February 7,
1916, son of Matthew Mulcahy of
Ireland and Ellen Howard Mulcahy
of Liverpool, England, he came to
the United States with his father
(his mother having died in his in
fancy when but four years of age,
settling in San Francisco. He spent
his early years in the bay city, at
tending school in the old Mission
school house at the site now oceu-
pied by the Palace hotel. In his
young manhood he was member
of the San Francisco Volunteer
Firemen, Broderick Hose, No. /,
and was also member of Ellsworth
Rigles during the stirring days of
the civil war.
Mr.. Mulcahy came to Nevada
more than fifty years ago, going
direct to Carson City, where he
established soap manufacturing
business.
May "a, 1874, he was married
to Elizabeth Cook at Carson City,
and of this union there were six
children-a daughter and five sons
three of whom, Howard C. and
Edward c., of Sparks, and Percy
H., of Ogden, Utah, together with
the widow, are left to mourn his
loss.
Leaving Carson City he removed
to Virginia City, where he was en-
gagged in the soap manufacturing
business, and later to Reno, where
he established the first soap manu-
featuring establishment in that city
in the old Tallman building where
the postoffice now stands, later NOV,
ing it to the site now occupied by
the Y. M. C. A. building.
In 1894 Mr.. Mulcahy again set
tied in Carson City, where he held
position in the U. S. mint in that
city, and was afterwards engaged
in business.
He came to Sparks in 1910, as
suming the editorial direction OF
the Sparks Tribune shortly there
after, and continuing the publica-
ton of the paper up to the time of
his death.
Mr.. Muleahy had always been
prominent in political circles and
took keen part in every movement

DETROIT MAN NEARLY
LOSES LIFE TRYING TO
BEAT COST OF LIVING

d DETROIT, Mich. Isaac White,
a former policeman returned to De-
troit yesterday after being marooned
with scant food supplies and shelter
for forty-two days on a small island
in the upper Detroit river. He was
rescued by Nels Nelson, after a peril
Gus trip of 2 IL miles over the ice
floes.
White went to the island in Decem-
Der, planning to stay but three weeks
and taking with him supplies sufficient
only for that period. Heavy ice jams
prevented his return by boat and han
dicapped by peg" leg, White fear
ed to risk trip on the ice.
His food gave out on New Years
day and since then he had existed on
fish speared through the ice and a few
fowl he was able to shoot.
Nelson went to the island today
with horse and sled. The animal
crashed through the ice on the way
to the mainland, White said but the
men were able to rescue it.
White said he went to the island
to get away from the high cost OF
living" and is planning to return when
the ice breaks up.

A Fool There Was

Tor Georgian But the folks they got
to talking about the inferior quality of
Georgia turnips-said they was pethv
and wasn't sweet; and so everybody
passed up the Georgia turnips and
bought the Canadian product. That's
how it happened But DIR. Walker cot
a few folks to eat some of his rutaba

nips were not petty and they were
sweet, to boot. DR.. Walker SAYS the
Georgia sweet potato, the best in the
world is not sweet when you first dig
it, and that the turnip is the same
way-that is must season a while af-
ter it is dug.
Eyes sir, all this is true, but YOU
know I've got some Canadian turrnips
up to my house right now, and it does
not make bit of difference to me
whether or not DIR. Walker sells his
Georgia turnips or keeps them to rot
on his hands. just can't get my wife
to order anything from Georgia-you
know, she's kinder prejudiced herself,
and always lets the merchant send her
whatever he wants to. or orders him
not to send any more of that Georgia
stuff, anyway. So we just travel
along in the easiest way up to the
house. We we spend our money for
out-of-state stuff and although ready
money is awfully scarce this year, we
prefer to let the few dollars we have
go on outside and disappear forever.
It's so, these dollars don't come back
and if they were paid for Georgia's
foods they would stay around here
and circulate, and do us worlds of good
