THE CONGRESSIONAL
ELECTIONS

Naturally every man on Capitol
Hill is interested in the Congression-
al elections. To begin with the Re-
publicans admit in private CONVERSE
tions that they would function better
If their majorities we're not so large
in the two branches of Congress. At
the same time they are sure that
their political strength has not been
impaired. Numerical strength ap-
parently weakens party responsible
ty and leaves the politicians all shift
ing for themselves. On the other
side of the fence one finds boastful
Democrats anticipating new success
es at the polls this Fall. Their old
chieftain, Mr. Bryan, has been at the
Capitol drilling the faithful how to
raise the party war whoop. In the
different national political head
quarters tons of literature is being
prepared for the fray. From the
amount of editorial material being
whipped into shape 1t would seem
that editors throughout the country
may soon find their waste paper
baskets taxed to the limit.

THE POLITICAL PINCH

The country has become so thor
oughly independent" in politics
that Washington wonders what viii
be- the effect of the strike situation
on election day. The National Capt.
tai furnishes a good viewpoint from
which to watch the direction of
winds and straws. Just at present
the straws seem to be whlrling in
political eddies. The Administration
acts with regard to the strikes have
aroused storms of protest in some
quarters. and as vigorous approval
in other places. Besides the indus
trial troubles the Republicans are
naturally held responsible for the
tariff, soldiers bonus, merchant ma
rine, and varied other present day
troubles. The war gratis that it was
claimed would be pinned to the late
Democratic regime have been tardy
In development. In the face of these
conditions 1T is natural to have poll

ing of an oiled gravel surface ON the
three and one-half mile section of
gravel road north of Minden, in
Douglas County. The present gray
ell road has been found difficult of
maintenance and the new type of
surfacing Is being laid largely as an
experiment to determine its adapta
bility to Nevada. Should it prove
satisfactory it will be used in many
places for the completion of gravel

sharing in the cost of the work, so
that the expense to the state and
county will be at a minimum.
Surveys and plans are being rush
ed out for work in Clark county be-
tween Las Vegas and the Arizona
line with the purpose of advertising
the work for contract this fall SO
that the contractors may get in and
complete the various projects before
the hot weather of the next summer.
The survey on one section of twelve

pleted and the plans are now being
prepared. The survey on another
project is also we'll along, so that
one or two projects in Clark county
can be gotten under way in the near
future.

must confess I don't believe in them
We just didn't know my boy was
hurt as bad as ne was. When l ar

EARLY MARRIAGE BEST.

Early marriage has been often held up as one
cause OF divorce. Now Chicago judge who has
heard $500 divorce cases in two years urges early
marriage as the best way for young people to avoid
the causes which lead to separations and wrecked
homes.
There is only one essential however. lie further
stipulates that young must have a job and
it must be the right girl In the girls interest we
assume that the right young man is also implied
Such a union does not so wrong. Yet, it is imper-
alive that there be mistake in judgment, as to
both being right When married they should start
fighting for home. he stipulates. He would have
them do their fighting for that object and not to
get the better of each other. Certainly that would
help in making it a happy marriage.
Too many couples" he says Insist on having
bank accounts furnished homes and automobiles
all ready before they marry and in waiting for these
things they grow selfish. They want things their
own way. When things so wrong they rush into
the divorce court. They won't give in and the 1u-
ture of their children does not concern them
And the worst of it lies in that so many appear
to regard a marriage failure rather spicy cpl
sode as something scarcely to be regretted since 1t
can be soon mended by another marriage. mar
rage failure is not more commendabe than any
other kind of a failure.

THIS is WORTH WHILE.

The department OF agriculture of the United
States, with all of its strivngs after good things
through the years, has developed really fine
idea--the clubs of farm boys and of farm girls
There are boys clubs for raising pigs and raising
corn and girls clubs for canning and gardening
and these clubs have resulted not only in produce
ing better pigs and better corn. and better cans Of
fruit and better gardens but they have greatly i'm
proved the crop of farm boys and girls
They have given to the great agricultural in
dustry a large group of young men and women who
believe the industry has its compensauons in addi-
ton to the income in dollars the farms can be made
to pay
They have Insured to American agriculture "A
sturdy intelligent support from within itself which
will continue through at least a generation to
uphold the rights of the agricuurists and work for
the constant improvement of agricultural ideals
and methods.
This is vastly worth while. 1t is unique. There
is not in all the industrial life of the nation out
side of agriculture anything like It, No organized
effort is made to inspire young men to do the work
that their fathers are doing in the shop or In the
factory or on the railroad. and to do that work with
greater skill and finer ideals and better results
The department of agriculture has set a good
example to other departments of government In THIS
regard and has started a movement which ought
to be capable of enlarged application and adapta-
ton.

unfortunately for the taxpayers two of the commits

with so it seems reasonable TO assume that we shall
have to worry along with them until the first OF

has shown an amazing disregard of the duties for
which he was elected to perform. This idea OF
passing the buck" to some future administration
is not our idea of the attitude for public official

they arise and so far possible, not be unloaded
