WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
From Our Special Correspondent

Washington, June 9.-Announce-
ment from London that Col. George
Harvey, American Ambassador at the
Court of st. James, would discard his
celebrated knee breeches and wear
long pants hereafter at all social
functions has been followed by re-
newal for the recall of Harvey from
London.
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, Re-
publican, who brags that ne never at
tends any functions in Washington
has sarcastically suggested that the
appearance of the American Ambas-
sador i'm court in long pants would
constitute a grave offerse against the
dignity of King George. In address
ING Senator Pat Harrison, of MlsSlss-
inpi. Senator Norris said:
Did the Senator notice in the
morning papers that Harvey is guilty
Of an offense that ought to bring
about his recall? 1t is boldly announc-
cd in the press dispatches that ne has
said he is going to wear long pants
at social functions hereafter. What
does the Senator think about recall
no him for such an ofense as that
against the dignity of the King OF
England -
Senator Harrison promptly agreed
that Harvey should be recalled.

Senator Harrison of Mississippi, IN
criticisirg President Harding because
the Chief Executive had seen tit 10
reprimand a certain Washington cor

written rule by quoting him after one

clared that the Presidents ire was
aroused by the unfavorable news be-
j.g printed in the press of the coun-
Try concerning recent primary elec-
lions.

some extent in his predicament,
said Senator Harrison, although II
was unprecedented, something no
other President has ever done to take
the defeat of his friends and the re-
buke Of his administration out on the
metropolitan press OF the country and
he news correspondents at the White
House. / imagine if the President had
said all the things in his mind when
he got the returns from Pennsylvania,
Indiana and now from Iowa, his ut
terances would have been unprintable
they would have burned the very

THE TONOPAH BONANZA
DISCUSSES BONUS BILL

Many legislators want to provide
the bonus pretending to settle it out
of the interest on foreign debts
an imaginary source of revenue.
They are not willing to take the
needful step of providing new taxes
for the payment of the obligation.
Yet President Harding insists upon
such taxes, and seems, by implica-
ton, to threaten to veto if they are
not included in the bill.
In some ways the policy adopted
by the president is the most eff
fective way of opposing the bonus
laying the responsibility for new
taxes exactly where it belongs.
A vote for the bonus must and
should be simultaneously vote for
further taxation. Congressman will
naturally hesitate somewhat as to
how they vote when such an altern-
alive is offered. The proposal is
statesmanlike and fair. If bonus
hunters have the votes to take mon
ey from the treasury, they must
also use their votes to put it back
again, since there is no available
surplus.-Tonopah Bonanza.

L0VE[0ck LEGION
SENDS KIND WORD

The congratulations of the losers
are offered in a statement prepared
Tuesday by Harlan Howard, chair
man of the legislative committee
Of the Lovelock post, American
Legion, which lost its fight against
J. T. Goodin, county commissioner,
whose recall from office was aimed
at by the special election called by
the ex-service men in the Lovelock
post. The statement follows:
cat the recall election in PERISH
ing county, which took place on
February 4, the Lovelock post of
the American Legion and its loyal
supporters were beaten but not dis
graced. And we know not discour-
aged. At the outset we realized the
terrific obstacles to be overcome,
and that all the forces of wealth,
influence and organization were at
the beck and call Of the opposi-
ton. But the spirit that smashed
the German lines was not to. be de-
MED by the mere spectacle of heavy
odds. We were firm in the belief
that our cause was righteous. The
subsequent happenings have not al
tered this belief. We think we did
our full duty.
Externally, the American Legion
will carry on for the maintenance
of law and order and for the re-
moval Of the undeserving, whether
their station be high or low. We
take no side in partisan politics,
but as American citizens we will
use the ballot for the correction
of public evils.
Sincerely we desire to thank all
those loyal citizens who assisted us
in this worthy cause and to the
victor we offer congratulations OF
the losers. In the future we hope
and trust that James T. Goodin
will cooperate with us in our work
of making Nevada a better home
for Americans"

RENO WANTS A Estate
MEMORIAL" BUILDING

If all the counties of the state
follow Reno's demand for a Estate
memorial" building, Nevada may
become covered with structures de-
signed to serve community purposes
under the guise of honoring dead
and living heroes, but which in
truth are nothing more nor less
than conveniences for the immediate
city or town in which they may
be located, after the fashion OBJ
tanning in Carson City. The Reno
Gazette, in a recent issue tells Of
movement set afoot by the COM
mercial organization in that city
which is expected to eventuate in
the erection of a "state auditorium"
which would be called a memorial
building" President Charles s.
Knight has appointed a committee
to investigate and ponder the pro-
ject.

LINCOLN OFFICIAL
. PROTESTS ROUTE

An active fight against Utah's
decision against the Lincoln high
way system has been launched by
Henry B. Joy, vice president of the
Lincoln highway association and
one of its founders in conjunction
with the other officials of that or
ganization. They have already filed
a protest with Henry C. Wallace,
secretary of agriculture, with a
recommendation that the federal
government order a full investiga-
tion of the situation.
Mr.. Joy and his associates claim
that the selection of the Wendover
route by the state of Utah will re-
suit in transcontinental travel being
forced over the northern route
through Nevada SO compel tourists
bound for southern California to
reach their destination by way of
Reno and the high Sierras to their
great Inconvenience. They insist
that the Utah route should follow
the line of the Lincoln highway and
that transcontinental travel should
be allowed to reach Ely at which
point tourists could decide whether
they wished to enter California by
way of Tonopah or Reno and not
be compelled to take the last named
route.

Abraham Lincoln, whose birth
day we expect to celebrate tomor-

waste words, but it is fact that
he once repeated himself, when he
said, as his platform for office re-
cited, when he ran for office for
his first election, 81 am in favor of
internal Improvements and a high
protective tariff" Honest Old Abe
simply duplicated the one great
truth. For a protective tariff is
invariably accompanied by internal
improvements. Ask any conscien-

Do you business men want to adj

1t is read in the homes almost every
where through the state.
The staff of the Winnada and
students of the high school are now
beginning their work on the annual
in earnest. Those students who are
in the play are practicing very hard.
The play is to be given in order to
clear the leftover debt from last
year. This makes an extra burden
added to the many that the students
have to overcome this year, but
everyone is buckling down to work.
The students are doing their stare
and all that is needed is the backing
Of the townspeople and without their
cooperation we will not be able to
publish an annual. All we ask is
that the business men give us an ad-
vertisement and everyone purchase
an annual when they are published.
So come on, public, and let's all
make the annual one that Humboldt
county inhabitants may be proud of.

ATHLETICS

The basketball boys who made the
trip to Elko and Wells last Friday
and Saturday were Mateo Legarza,
Bryant Arant, Joe German, Charles
Garteiz, Gerald Holloway, Joe Organ
and Clyde Brown, accompanied by
Mr.. Snyder as manager.
The following is an account of
the trip written by one Of the boys.
We left on No. % and played
Elko that night. We had hard
game, but we enjoyed ourselves both
before and after. We left early
next morning for Wells and were
received and treated royalty by all
while we were there. We got the
squarest deal we have had occasion
to come in contact with this year.
Our boys left praising the wonder
full treatment we received from the
people and the high school at Wells.
/ think our team was very close to
losing several of our boys-that is,
on account of the fine weather?
This trip will be long remembered
by US, although think most of the
boys were glad to come back to
Winnemucca.
Upon the boys return they were
taken to the high school, where a
delicious luncheon was served them.

stage for this little old city if you
are not already here. Why? Well,
because want you to see our bas-
ketball teams clean up on that Fall
lon bunch. Yeah, they'll be here
Saturday along with the big idea
that they're going home with the
bacon. But, believe me, they won't
have to use shoehorns to get their
hats on after we're through with
'em. Now, don't forget, you'll have
to hurry if you want to be along
with the crowd when the "games of
