CIVIL SERVICE
NOT PERFECT

We are not SO terribly shocked
as some at President Harding's
nouting of the civil service law.
Like many other things civil SER
vice is perfect in theory but not so
satisfactory in practice. For one
thing it tends to deaden effort and
discourage initiative. If employees
think they are protected by civil
service they do just enough work
to "get by" And again if any ex-
ecutive head is to make the best re-
cord he must be surrounded by
subordinates who are in sympathy
with his policy and interested in
his success. The spoils system can
be carried to excess, and so can

SOME SUPREME
COURT FACTS

Of the nine members of the Su-
preme court of the Unitde States,
tire owen their appointments to
the eight years of President Will
sons administration; these are Nc
Reynolds, of Tennessee; Brandeis,
of Massachusetts,, and Clarke, of
Ohio. Two owe their appointments
to the preceding single term of
the Taft administration these are
Van Devanter, of Wyoming, and
Pitney, of New Jersey. Two owe
their appointments to the two terms
of President Roosevelt; these are
Holmes, of Massachusetts, and Day,
of Ohio. Only one remains, Nc
Kenna, of California, who owes his
appointment to the Mckinley ad-
ministration. Thus rapidly the pro-
cession moves, even in the case of
life appointees, like those of the
Supreme Court.
1t is doubtful if there has ever
been a time in our history when
there was no member of the court
dating back to an earlier period
than this. McKenna, for example,
took his seat in 1898, only "a years
ago. This change doubtless comes
from the later period in life at
which men become of sufficient pro-
minence in their profession to OBJ
tain this peculiarly distinguishing
recognition. The new Harding ad-
ministration counts one in the list,
and that is Chief Justice Taft, who
is now in his 65th year, and so one
of the Oldest men at the time of his
appointment of any man ever
named for the court. In fact, no
member of it is today so young as
President Harding, who is doing
the selecting from this time forth.

WATCH OUT
For HIM

When you hear a Winnemucea
man talking about how good he is
watch him. Straight, honest men,
do not need to advertise the fact.
If man has conducted himself so
that there is no reason to doubt
him, he does not have to remind
you. of the fact. Why brag about
being honest? If you have TO
boast about it it must be a different
kind of honesty from what most
people have. A true-blue man never
yet had to tell his friends of his
loyalty, for evidence is stronger
than words, and time tells the
story. Never a fim-fammer yet
who did not try first to convince
his proposed victim that he was
honest. Naturally he provides some
alleged proofs that seem above sus-
picion-for the crook always knows
that he must first gain confidence
before he can play his game. So,
keep an eye on the fellow who has
to advertise his honesty-it usually
isn't the brand of honesty that you
are best acquainted with, or the
kind that will help you any after
you have become acquainted with it.

FARMERS OF
THE FUTURE

At the graduating exercises of
the National Farm School, near
Doylestown, Pa, when diplomas
were awarded to the largest class
in its history, the interesting an
nouncement was made that every
one of these young men had already
secured a position, presumably in
an occupation where his knowledge
of scientific farming and practical
agriculture can be put to good ac-
count. OF what other school can
this be said? 1t furnishes con-
vincing proof, if any we're needed,
of the growing Importance of the
farmer in our national life. For
many years emphasis has been
placed largely on the development
of manufacturers in. order to make
America as independent as possible
of other countries. Since the world
war, when our farmers had to raise
food not only for our own people
but for large part of Europe as
well, much greater attention has
been given to the problems of the
farm. We are getting more and
more to be an agric altural nation.
And more and more there is an
opening for the young man who
possesses actual knowledge of mod
ern farming and its methods.

York Curb Exchange, which mas
only been in operation II years, Is
shut out and so are nearly all of
the other exchanges. We contend
that a legitimate company which
has been carefully examined by an
exchange and listed in accordance
with the prescribed listing require
ments of such exchange, and
especially if such exchange has list
ing requirements which contain the
provisions usually adopted by the
various bureaus and commissions in
the several states having blue sky
laws, that such listing should make
it possible for the brokers or pro
motors of any legitimate enterprise
to offer their stock anywhere. If
this law goes into effect | do not
see how it would be possible for
legitimate Nevada enterprise, hay-
ing its stock listed either in San
Francisco or upon the New York
Curb Exchange, which is the great
primary market for new securities,
to avoid rendering itself subject to
the penalties of this legislation.
| do not see why trading in stocks
or dealing in securities should be-
come a matter to be regulated as
Interstate Commerce, nor do | see
how the Congress can properly pass
legislation such as the Denison bill
which undertakes to ratify all of
the various blue sky laws of the
several states now in effect or any
other law or legislation which may
be passed in the future. This legis-
lation, in attempting to do away
with fraud in the sale of securities,
makes no distinction as to the legi-
innate enterprises, and it seems TO
shut out all mining development and
industrial enterprises except those
enumerated.
| have no doubt you have al
ready heard from some of your
constituents, but | take the liberty
of drawing the matter to your at
tention because of the great inter
est in the New York Curb Exchange
and particularly because of my
large investments in the state OF
Nevada.
With kindest regards, am,
Very truly yours,

THE FLORIDA
LAND CRAB

Down in Florida where a consid-
cradle influx of new settlers has oc-
Cured in recent years, the growing
crops belonging to truck farmers
are beset in singular manner by
land crabs which feed upon sue
culent growths. These insidious
little pests burrow in the soil
where the water level is from one
to four feet below the ground sur
face during the dry season, &C
cording to recently issued govern
ment agricultural department bull
letin. From one to twenty thou
sand crab holes have been found to
the acre in the Investigations now
under way and a poisoning cam
paign has been successfully under
taken.
The matter is mentioned to show
that no country, no matter how
Vallambrosian in climatic advan.
tage but has disadvantages, nor are
'Nii am SiOHiitS lOuIu
a state of perfection anywhere.
People are exceedingly prone tc
believe that the land "just over the
hilP' offers more than their i'm.
mediate locality, when in truth il
is not so.
Florida has been land of heart
aches for the homeseeker of small
means just as California has been 8
land of Disappointment to tens OF
thousands.
Both states have much to com
mend; ais SO attributes to con
denim. Neither is perfect in any
sense of the BODYBUILDING term.
1t is probably a fact that Nevada
offers more to the individual who
would get a start and keep aheao
of the hounds than any Other
state. Some day broader recog
milton of the fact will exist.

HUMAN AMBITION
AND RESULTS

The passing of two men was re-
corded in recent issues of this news
paper. Both had reached the period
in life we call aged. Both were
striving for detectives up to the
last day of their existence in the
flesh. One sought to promote a
railroad that would divert traffic
from an empire by cutoff which is
logical but is opposed by dominat-
ing railroad interests. He was no
novice in the game of railroad
promotion and he enjoyed position
of affluence. At one time he was
worth millions. Life lost its glamor
and he threw himself into the
ocean. When an inventory of his
effects was made his possessions
totaled but few dollars.
The other man sought to unlock
Natures treasure vaults. He welded
pick and shovel for half a century.
and died alone in his tent far re-
moved from the touch of his fellows.
He too, died practically penniless.
His goal was not attained and the
competence that he sought was
denied him.
1t might be said that the end of
both exampled blighted ambition
| and failure.
But is financial measuring stick
fair guage of human success?
