NEW SLAVES FOR OLD

If you were asked whether you favored
the extension of slavery you would be
aghast. 1t is a question which apparently
admits of but one answer, and yours would
be decided one.
But day by day and year by year
slavery is increasing in the world.
1t is the sort of slavery to bring JOY to
the heart Of every man and woman of
ideals and aspirations.
For with every new slave made, an
old one is released.
Man is a parasite upon the body of the
world. He feasts upon things he has not
created, and he forces the lesser creatures
to do his work for him.
First his mentality was so crude that he
sought to master only puny humans like
himself. Thus was human slavery in
troduced, the most despicable institution
in mans history.
A little later he tanned the dog. The
horse, the camel, the elephant came under
his sway-always the servant was more
powerful, so exerted greater force.
While man wrought his havoc thus in
the animal kingdom, the vegetable realm
was not spared. Wood served for our fuel
and houses, fruits and other growing
things for our food.
Now big step is being made. Hav-
ing largely released the animals from our
slavery, we are letting the vegetable things
slip one by one to freedom.
Minerals are our own slaves, the most
powerful of all, the hardest to tame, the
most potential for accomplishment.
One day man will have complete
mastery over the mineral kingdom, and
then the slavery Of other humans, of ami
mails and of all living things will be at an
end. We do not yet see how this is to
come about. But man, first the puny para
site, now the conqueror, will work out his
salvation in this way and no other.

RUSSIA IN BONDAGE

Banisment of the soviet government of
Russia of approximately 1,5OO intellec-
tuals, including university professors and
members of other learned professions, re-
minds one of the policy of the czars and
serves to show that the "proletarian re-
gime" has no use for men with brains
Those exiled are charged with the crime
of having been unable to reconcile them
selves to the soviet methods of govern
ment. While this Punishment is instituted
as punishment in most cases it is far other.
wise and is welcomed.
These men may have been menace to
the government. Thinkers naturally
would be- They, however, will lose far
less in being exiled than will Russia which
is thus being stripped of those who might
assist in guiding it in sane paths. Such
action removes further in the future the
restoration of the country to civilized con-
ditions for it diminishes the number of
those who are capable of leading the peo-
pie toward return to economic conditions
which will make the nation self support.

DOING A BIG JOB WELL

Gen. Leonard Wood, who was kept from
war service abroad by the preceding adj
ministration, has had chance to show his
ability in an opposite section Of the world
during the last year and a quarter A
succinct article telling the results of his
mission to the PHILIPPINES, and more than
justifying the judgment which picked him
to do difficult job, appears in the London
Times from its Manila correspondent.
This observer says that under the policies
prevailing and the administration fur
nished during the prior eight years the
Philippines had gone back economically
and industrially; that the civil service and
the courts had deteriorated in efficiency
and integrity, and that when Gen. Wood
arrived on the scene the country was on
the verge of bankruptcy.
Outstanding achievements of Gen.
Woods administration to the present time,
says the correspondent, have been the re-
Mobilization of the currency system and the
downward revision of the budget, whereby
nearly 100000 pesos were saved to the
treasury The establishment of a regime
of efficiency in the civil service is also
noted. Restoration of confidence has been
brought about by the establishment of
the peso at its par value of 80 cents gold
and many private enterprises have been
given a new lease of life. Greater pros
perity has sadly interfered with the
Vaccinations of political clique, whose
interests are conferred in conflict of rela-
tons between America and the Philip
pines.
The Philippine problem, so called, may
not be any problem at all when the pres
ent Washington policy of government on
business principles is thoroughly installed
in the islands.

ALLEN To TAKE
SCRUCHAM' s JOB

When Col. James G. Scrugham
quits his post as state engineer to
prosecute his candidacy for COVER
nor on the Democratic ticket, Rob-
ert Allen, deputy state engineer,
will succeed to his place, it was
stated today by Governor Boyle,
who has had had the matter under
consideration for some time.
According to the governor, Mr..
Aliens experience in the office and
his familiarity with the work in
hand, renders him better qualified
for the place than any other. The
governor has not been advised when
Col. Scrugham will resign but when
ever this occurs Mr.. Aliens ap-
pointment will be made Immediately.
Allen is graduate of the Uni
versity of Nevada and has been
in the state engineers office for
several years.
For some time, Col. Scrugham has
been endeavoring to get his affairs
in shape to quit the office in
preparation for his campaign. 1t is
understood that he has not been
able to do so because of the affairs
on the Humboldt. However, his
resignation is looked for within the
next few days.-Gazette.

In YEARS GONE BY

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
September IL, 1897


The Southern Pacific company
has made a rate of $3.50 per ton
on hay between Reno and Cali
fornia points. 1t goes into effect on
the 18th inst. Points in the state
east of Reno ought to be given a
reduced rate also, and it is not un-
likely that a reduction could be Sc
cured if the matter was properly
presented to the company.
Last week a Kansas man who had
stopped his paper went over to a
neighbor to borrow his, and on his
return was struck by lightning and
killed. There is a moral to this
floating around in the vast aisles of
our temple of thought, but by a
giant effort we turn from it.
County Commissioner Trousdale,
l.. F. Dunn and H. Warren re-
turned this morning from Reno,
where they have been in attendance

THE OTHER NINE HOURS

Going back to school looms large In the
minds of most youngsters these days.
their state of mind seems about that of the
school kids of a generation ago-theyd
rather play outdoors
Most parents, although it scarcely seems
credible, accept the child's judgment in
this matter That is, they decide that sum-
mer the playtime, being over, it is school
that will be the big thing from now until
next June.
A child should have nine hours sleep.
That leaves Is waking hours in every day.
Of these, about six are spent in school
What are children of school age doing in
the remaining nine hours?
Let's hope they are playing, romping,
chasing, getting into little mischief now
and then, getting scolded and spanked,
loved and Rugged, eating plenty and eat
ing it slowly, going to bed at night dog
tired.
Those nine hours are the 'social hours. F"
In them the child learns the lessons of liv-
ing. While in school, boy or girl is more
an automaton, receiving lessons and di-
costing them more or less perfectly.
IL is Wnen Cney are Praying Nun. Oneep,
Run, mumble-peg, marbles or jackstraws
that they are learning how to get along
with their playmates. They are adjust
ing themselves to social life. They are be-
coming citizens of society.
It is the boy or girl who is too much
alone, whether in corner with fairy
story book or plugging away at home
study, who is failing to learn the true les
sons that school age should teach. The
teachers look out for six hours of our chill
dren's time every day. Let us pay some
attention to the nine other waking hours.

TEN YEARS AGO
80 1910

Considerable attention has been
attached to the livestock depart
ment of the University of Nevada
since the announcement in the
Gazette last evening of the gift of
John G. Taylor of a standary trot-
ting colt.
1t is a source of qualification to
the department of agriculture in
the university that men like Mr..
Taylor feel like supporting its work
in this very helpful and practical
way.
Thomas Nelson drove over from
Stone House Tuesday evening, re-
turning home this morning. For
the past several months automo-
bile agents have been trying to
trade in machine in part pay

not know what use to make of the
auto.
This morning Roland Jacobs, cleo

''DOC''-

DOC
There has been lot of comment over
the recent announcement that hardly any
of the physicians being turned out by the
colleges of today are finding their way to
country practice. With the professions, it
would seem, as with the trades, the city
offers quicker, more inviting pace.
We pause for moment to regret the
passing of Doc. Nobody knew him by any
other name, and he was especially an init
mate in every family because of the &C.
casions of joy and sorrow and tension at
which his face was constant and familiar
one.
The devotion of the country physician
was proverbial. He is not entirely passed,
indeed, and yet we cannot help realizing
that there are not many of the kindly and
capable species left.
But after all, the modern days offer their
compensation. A doctor who locates in
any town outside metropolis is certain
to include some country practice in his
ministrations, particularly if, like Doc of
fond memory, his practice is so general as
to include all the ills Of every member of
the family
In his auto, he can cover many times the
distance Doc used to plod along in his
buggy. His tendency, too, is to specialize,
and he has far better equipment of edu-
cation than his forerunner of generation
ago. All he needs is practice-and folk
seem to have just about as many babies,
and the babies seem to have the measles
and the whooping cough about as regularly
as ever they did.

HOW
ULTRA-MICROBEs MAY BE

uLTRA-MICROBES MAY BE
USED TO FIGHT DISEASE.
in the great realm of Nature
every creature preys upon lts
fellows. Even microbes, the
tlniest living things that the
most powerful microscope en-
ables us TO see, are. for their
size, as voracious as the most
savage lions.
And now comes an amazing
discovery made at the famous
Pasteur institute In Paris. MI
crobes themselves are attacked,
weakened, and finally killed by
creatures SO vastly smaller than
their own minute bodies that we
can never hope to see them,
however much the microscope Is
developed.
These creatures = ultra-mi-
crobes-can be isolated. bred.
and strengthened until they are
ready to fall like an avenging
host upon the germs of disease.
Once research has enabled US
to enlist as allies the teeming
battalions Of these tiny friends,
we shall be able to wage a re-
lentless war on sickness.
When, for instance, we are
able to turn loose the ultra-Inl-
crobe of typhoid fever Into sus-
pected water supplies, one Of
our worst scourges Will become
a thing Of the past.
