LAW ENFORCEMENT
LECTURE TONIGHT
Last Speaker of Flying Squadron
to Be Heard Here at High
School Tonight to Argue
Enforcement of Law

The third of five meetings to be
held at the high school auditorium
here, was held at that place last
night with James II. Woertendyke
as the principal speaker. The sub
ject was prohibition" and the talk
had to do with enforcement of our
present law in regard to the matter.
Mr.. Woertnedyke is a nationally
known speaker and those who heard
him last night declare him to be
both a very interesting talker and
an enlightening one.
On account of delay in the
train schedule because of a wash
out along the track near Wendover,
the speaker was unable to be pres
ent at the meeting called for him
Yesterday afternoon.
This afternoon a talk was given
by Hon. Oliver Wayne Stewart,
president of the Flying Squadron
foundation, under whose auspices
the meetings are being held, and as
he is reputed to be one of the
greatest platform speakers in Am
erica, his message was greatly en-
joyed. Rev. Norma c.. Brown, form
erly chaplain of the Illinois senate,
was also on the program and proved
to be charming and impressive
speaker. The talks of these two
will be repeated this evening at the
auditorium and a large crowd is
hoped for. The program tonight
ends the series of meetings.

vice." American Newspaper Syndi-
cate,' and what not, the evident
attempt being in many. cases to
make up a title which looks and
sounds somewhat like the name of
some great bons .fide newspaper en-
terprise. Nevada has been toler-
ably well fed up on that kind of
publicity" much of which is never
questioned. Therefore it is not
surprising, perhaps. that Democrat
newspapers are copying with ap-
proval an editorial which concludes
"If there is a way to get a Ne
vada news man on the job that
way should be applied at an early
date in order that the people of this
state may get first hand facts as
they really are. Just now we are
feeling, when we read our Nevada
papers, a highly distressing lot of
political propaganda under Wash
ington date lines" This CORES
pondent is inclined to agree with
the Democrats fully in the editorial
statement-either way you take it
Passage of the Sterling-Lehlbach
reclassification bill, in which Fed
eral employees in Nevada have
shown much interest, was predicted
today by Senator Sterling of South
Dakota. He believes it still will be
placed before the Senate when the
tariff bill goes to conference, and
will be sent to the President fol
his approval before adjournment.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
presented resolutions of the Ne.
braska state railroad commission
urging ''that Congress should give
no heed to efforts to secure legis.
lation which would approve previous
arrangements in restraint of free
flow of traffic that the Supreme
Court has said violates the Sherman
act" Referring to the Southern
Pacific Central Pacific case. The
Valley Commercial Club of Ne
braska also sent resolutions. Gold
field sent a petition in favor OF
the Souther Pacific.
William J. Burns, chief of the
bureau of investigation of the De
partment of Justice, has not yet
learned the Washington way. After
discovering evidences of incipient
profiteering in foodstuffs the other
day, he was asked to suggest &
remedy. "Tell the women of the
District to quit patronizing tn,
price-boosters," said the great de
teetive. He never stopped to men
tion any sort of commission or com
mittee. Just "tell the women t.
quit" and the thing is done-it
they quit. The thing would be
ancient history before a commission
could satisfactorily organize itself
