1.-THE SAGEBRUsH STATE"

When old Nevada's hard rock miners
Start on their voyage on ocean liners
Far across the deep blue seas,
Away from the cool mountain
breeze;
There is something in their memory
That cuts like toughest emery,
TIL they're forced to overcome their
fate,
BY returning to the Sagebrush State.
The sagebrush smell and mountain
breezes
Carry with them all sorts of diseases
That haunt their old and weary mind
Till they cannot possibly ever find
Content, until they're obliged to re-
To heal that long and aching burn.
And now before it ID too late,
To the fresh air OF the Sagebrush
State
From an early pioneer boyhood day,
Till bent and tinged in silvery gray,
They've wandered about from town
to town,
Till they have earned that silvery
crown,
That is in store for each and every
one
IT, of their work can be said, well
done.
Many have accomplished it at low
rate,
Here in the good old Sagebrush
State.
So man may come aud man NAV go
From States of heat 10 States Of mos
And they'll ne'er be content there I,
stay,
For lack of sagebrush and fresh
mown hay;
They will be glad to take the fastest
train,
That will carry them to the sage
brush again,
They're now content and they never
will try,
To leave here again for its Nevada
to die.
They have had their day and they're
not to blame
If they have led life that is full OF
shame.
For each and every one may choose,
The road of good or the road of
booze,
So its up to us to help unfold,
A life of good in the struggle for
gold.
And there's gold in abundance pure
and straight.
Here In the west-the Sagebrush
State.
And now again on old Nevada's soil,
They're here content to labor and to
toll.
Never to leave as they did once be-
- fore,
For land and home on foreign shore.
They're here to live and they're here
to die,
To be buried under old Nevada's sky
There to rest and await their fate.
Here in the peaceful Sagebrush
State.

Pleases.
BY ROBERT BARRY.

The doctrine Of infalliblity has been
introduced into the Indianapolis public
school system by the majority faction Of
the board OF school commissioners and
applied TO George H. Rickes, superin-
tendent Of buildings and grounds. Here
after employees Of long years Of devoted
service, highest personal integrity and
ability viii receive no consideration from
the board If superintendent Rickes rules
that he wants their jobs for other per-
sons.
This was made clear by Charles l..
Barry, president Of the board, at a spe-
cial meeting of the board today called
for the purpose Of handing down a de-
cision as to the fate Of six former en-
ployes who asked for a public hearing
after being summarlly discharged with
out notice or explanation by Mr.. Rlckes
shortly sfter be was made superintendent
OF building and grounds last month.
There is nothing IN the rules of this
board" Mr.. Barry explained to the men
who were gathered to hear their fate,
that suggests civil service. The board
recognizes the right Of the head Of a
department to make such changes as he
may deem advisable. He is accountable
to no one. A discharge or suspension Mt
his hands is no reflection on the dis
