STRICTLY PERSONAL OPINION
Asre yourself and grant to
others the privilege.

Bootleggers-
Hes inclined to be crooked,
isn't he? was the overheard ques-
ton of one man to another.
"Oh, no; he's absolutely square, !"
was the reply.
But hasn't he sold moonshine? %
eyes; he's out for the money,
all right, and he has sold booze. But
he's not crooked; in fact he's one
of the squarest men you ever met
in your life."
And there you have it. It's some
times good to look at the other
fellows viewpoint. Here's one that
fits in with the idea of probably a
larger number of people than may
be imagined.
Booze selling is not to be con
sidered as crooked in that mans
opinion, but merely a laudable am
bition to "get the money" Does he
justify the opinion by remembering
non-technical law violations on the
part of others, in other lines OF
business, to "get the money?
1t opens an avenue for another
line of thought, in any event.
President Harding hit the nail or
head, in our opinion, when he ad
dressed congress the other day. He
said prohibition is a law of the
nation, and being a law should be
enforced. If enforcement does moi
please the people they will event
ually see to it that the law i.
changed. That sounds sensible. Re
CARELESS of our personal opinions
as good American citizens we should
insist that our officers, sworn t.
uphold the law, do exactly that
and back them up in their efforts
Otherwise we are bound to drift tt
the point where no laws will b,
recognized, and that certainly would
be against the best interests of oul
government, supposed to provid,
the greatest good for the creates
number. The bootlegger is not t,
be excused, for the reason that HI
is a lawbreaker. That is our posi-
ton. Are we correct?

Burglar Loots-

Burglar Loots-
Sometime between closing hours
Wednesday night and opening for
business Thursday morning, bur-
glar forced an entrance to the Com
stock club located at the former
mine office in Gold Hill, and got
away with loot valued at over
500. The robbery was dis
covered early Thursday morning
the sheriff's office was notified at
once, and an investigation of the
occurrence started. It was found
that the burglar had cut out a pane
of glass at a rear window of the
building, and reaching through
raised the latch, and the rest was
easy sailing. Several were held by
the officers, it is said, on suspicion
of being implicated, but were later
released on lack of evidence, says
the Virginia City Chronicle.

Confident, Anyhow

Sonuoent, anyhow
Two thousand dollars from the
state bonus offered to the company
that first brings in oil in the state
of Nevada, will be given to Driller
Chas. Letter, his assistant Art Jack
son, Truckman Frank Landon and
Waterman Clarence F. Abbott, if
the second sand is encountered in
the Elko test well by Christmas and
the sand is productive as contem-
plated by the state act mentioned,
according to an announcement made
by President H. B. Kuntz of the
Elko Oil Development & Improve
ment Company. The offer is made
to speed up" drilling to the maxi
mum during the next two weeks,
Mr.. Kuntz states.
The condition is entirely feasible,
Kuntz states. The drill is now past
the eighteen hundren foot mark.
The second zone of saturation has
been indicated by geological advice
to lie in the neighborhood of two
thousand feet. If the balance in
footage can be made the sand can
be reached in time to give the liquid
gold to Elko county people, for it
is confidently felt that the second
sand, as has been the case in
similar formations in Wyoming will
prove a producer.-Elko Indepen-

IN YEARS GONE BY
TEN YEARS AGO
(From The Silver State Filed

The case Of George Fronhofer,
indicted for the murder of Peter
Laux, was called for district court
this morning. On the 23rd of last
January Peter Laux was shot from
ambush, near Kennedy, from the
effects of which he later died.
A New Yorw dispatch to San
Francisco says that there is a grow
ing belief on Wall street that when
the present furry is over J. P.
Morgan will be found to be the
owner of very heavy, if not domi-
mating, interest in the Union Pa
cific. All railroad officials are re-
luctant to discuss the matter. (Wall
Street! The cry will never down and
nothing done there can ever be
good, in the minds of some. But
where would the United States be
without the powerful men who habi-
tate Well Street?)
Colonist rates are in effect on
the several railroads serving western
United States. Nearly a million
people have been brought to Cali
fornia by the Southern Pacific COM
pany alone. Fares are $40 from
Kansas City, $38 from Chicago, and
$37 from New Orleans. (Try buy

Injuries Others Too

Injuries Others Too
The latest Hollywood scandal has
to do with the pronounced use of
habit-forming drugs by members of
the moving picture colony. Every
so often most people come in con-
tact with what they term a foolish"
woman or girl. Such, it seems, are
attracted to moving picture CEN
ters in droves, ready to seize any
opportunity to 'get into the movies. /"
The same used to be true of stage
struck" beauties or near beauties,
and is still true to an extent. But
eventually it will be the same with
movies as with the stage-real
worth will be the deciding factor
in employment, the ability to act.
1t is unfortunate that the moving
picture industry is beset with its
present trials and tribulations. Stern
measures at this time may prevent,
however, a condition that may be
even worse for the general good of
the enterprise. Elimination of male
brutes would help a lot.

Fernley Farmer Optimistic

w. A. Hardy, of Fernley, was a
local visitor the forepart of the
week and while in the city attended
the convention of the members of
the county farm bureau. Mr.. Hardy
stated that while the Fernley farm
ers had suffered a considerable finan-
cial loss through the brokerage of
this seasons cantaloupe crop that
larger acreage would very likely
be planted to melons next year and
that if the Fernley people were
fortunate in securing better market
ing conditions that success was
theirs.
Mr.. Hardy stated that the Fern
ley farmers had reached the con-
clusion that alfalfa was not the crop
for that enterprising community
and that a majority of the farme,

Rural Credits Legislation


One point in connection with the
proposed farm credits bill, which
means the dawn of new day foi
western cattle and sheep growers
as well as ranchers, if passed il
congress, is that it is not to b,
considered in the light of govern
ment subsidy. There are no gov
eminent funds involved in the pro
posal, and even the government
supervision, requested to insur,
safety of capital, is to be paid TO
by the men directly involved. 1t is
easy to see, however, that livestock
banking paper, made absolutely posi-
tive in its banking value, endorsed
by a number Of financially respon-
sible institutions, may become de-
sirable paper for federal reserve
rediscount, and when that day
comes the financial worries Of the
livestock men will be over. In spite
of the radical trend of the times
conditions in the United States con
tinue to improve, even if it is in
the sane path taken by such legis
lation as the rural credits bill.

Editorials
The Reno Journal has resumed
publication of editorials after dis
continuing the department for
short period of time. In coming
back to the old idea of editorial
writing, which can mean only the
expression of personal opinion on
the part of the writer, the Journal
says contemporaries don't like the
omission and subscribers demand
expressions on issues confronting
the city, state and nation.
During recent years there has
been considerable discussion of the
value of editorials to newspapers.
In the east large number of news
papers have discontinued the age
old practice entirely, claiming that
editorials only tend to weaken the
business position of publishers by
creating enemies who do not agree
with the editorial policy of the
newspaper. In dollars and cents
returns they seem to be right.
But we believe that newspaper
publishers owe debt to the public,
and that is to endeavor to keep the
people reliably informed of what
is going on at all times. What
matters if they do make an oc-
cassional enemy? What man do you
know, who amounts to anything,
who has not gained the enmity of
other men? And is it not true that
while making an enemy friend is
usually made who is of more value
that the two if entirely disinter-
ested? Is it worth while to bother
with men who may be so narrow
minded as to stop subscription or
withdraw advertising because they
do not agree with >the opinion of
the editor?
The Silver State policy is that
eaders are entitled to all of the
,ews all of the time, if it's fit to
,rint-that newspaper has no
right to suppress news when the
people are entitled to know of that
news when, for instance, it origi-
mates in the public courts. And il
the editor be honest, and the sacri-
fee is not too great, the promi-
nence of people affected should moi
make him change his viewpoint.
| Yes, the people are entitled to
editorials, and what's more they are
privileged to insist that newspapers
do not keep them in darkness or
problems affecting them deeply-ir
other words, that in writing editor.
ials the editor shall not sidestep the
issues he believes may cause loss Of
friendship. At the same time the
reader must accept editorials al
the frail expressions of one man
never infallible, calculated only tt
provide food for thought, and b,
ready to admit that differences o.
opinions must exist if the world il
Ito progress.

Brougher Left Million
The will of Henry Calvin Brough-
err, mining engineer and capitalist
of Nevada, who died at his home
at 6150 HARDWOOD street, Oakland,
three weeks ago, following an at
tack of pneumonia, was filed for
probate in the Oakland superior
court, says the Examiner.
The bulk of the estate, valued
at over $1,000, 900, is left to his
widow. Mrs. Elsie Brougher. A
trust fund of $4,000 is created
for his adopted 3-year-old daughter,
Elsie. The girl was adopted six
months ago from the West Oak
land home.
Other requests were: West Oak
land home, $2500; Oakland Baby
hospital, $4,000; various other be-
quests to relatives and friends
range from $1,000 to $4,000.

Federal Buildin &C.

The Congressional Record con-
tains reference to the introduction
by Senator Oddie Of a bill provid-
ing for additions and extensions to
the postoffice building at Reno.
This is in line with plans announced
by him while he was in Reno during
the campaign. The senator hopes to
secure authority for the construc-
ton Of a building large enough to
house all federal departments here
adequately and has obtained from
the various department heads state
ments as to their needs. The post
Office, itself, is sadly lacking in
floor space and proper working ia
cilities.
Senator eddie also has introduced
a bill to authorize the acquisition OF
a site and erection of a federal
building at Lovelock. Both bills
were referred to the senate com
mittee on public buildings ant
grounds.-Reno Gazette.

The Point 10 Missed


John Wannamaker is gone from
this earthly sphere, but will be re-
membered as the man who made ad-
sertising and who advertising made.
Wanamaker differed from other
men in that he recognized that
newspaper advertising was largely
responsible for his success, while
others, before the end, get some
sort of an idea that they are par
ticularly blessed with something
other men haven't got, and though
it is mysterious quality, they
credit it fully for their success

who do get there, while those who
don't are dead from the start.

May Deport Peddlers-

NA2y 4CPVHk
Deportation of Chinese for
violation of the United States mar
cotic laws is equivalent to a death
sentence. Such is the contention
of federal narcotic inspector Harry
Haley and Capt. j. P. Donnelly,
federal prohibition agent. Both
men point out that in China a
Chinese caught with opium in his
possession, except the extreme old
and the extreme young, are i'm
mediately decapitated, says the
Journal.
Captain Donnelly stated that the
knowledge of this law and the
fact that Chinese officials construe
the law to apply to Chinese con-
victed in other countries is respon-
sible for the frequent jumping of
bail by Celestials in various parts
of the United States. Inspector
Haley says that there are at least
five Chinese in custody of officials
in Nevada at the present time who
will be turned over to the U. S.
immigration officials for probable
deportation, owing to continued
violation Of the federal narcotic
laws.

based on a new idea and one which
we hope will grow and become ap-

not say that this column will be a

scarce in these days of hustle and

We promise, however, that you may
expect matters to be touched upon
here that will be of more than
