A MAN YOU
CAN UNDERSTAND

One of the many admirable char
acteristics of Secretary of State
Hughes is that he talks in concrete
language rather than abstract.
Where others are talking of
economic problems" "menaces
to the human race" an d
to "save mankind" Secretary
> Hughes is urging upon the world
recognition of the concrete fact
that credit follows upon confidence
and that the great need is to "estab-
lish the basis of confidence in re-
spect to life, property and contract"
There is nothing to be gained
by talking about saving that por-
tion of the human race which re-
fuses to recognize any obligation on
its part to respect the lives, liberty
and property rights of others. There
is nothing to be gained by asking
credit for a people or a nation
who destroy all condolences in them
selves by refusing to get back to
work and by denying any rights of
property or contract.
Glittering generalities appeal to
some people but they appeal only
to those idealists who cut very
small figure in the real world of
affairs. The "voices in the air"
which President Wilson so fire.
quently described when he was ad-
vocating the league of nations, have
very small appeal to practical men
and women who are interested in
the great task Of getting the world
back to normal, assuring peace
throughout the world and reducing
expenditures for military establish
ments. What the world needs to-
day is not incoherence of voices in
the air but some actual and prac-
teal knowledge and fulfillment of
obligations and a return to that
hard work in production which is
necessary to feed and clothe and
house the human inhabitants of the
earth.
Secretary Hughes fully appreci-
ates this; hence the practical line of
talk he has been giving whenever
he has the occasion to make a pub
lie, address.

ELKO PAPER GIVES ACCOUNT
OF PASSING AGED PREACHER

A recent issue of the Elko Inde-
pendent tells in the following man.
ner of the death of Rev. w. +.
Damewood, who stopped in this city
last Thursday on his way east to
Washington, d. c., as he explained
his peregrination:
"Traveling across the country
afoot, although not able to see
more than twenty feet ahead Of
him, w. F. Damewood, 81 years
old, suffered injuries when struck
by a train in the Carlin yards this
morning which resulted in his death
at the General hospital at nine
o'clock this morning.
Few details regarding the acct
dent have reached Elko.
So far as could be ascertained,
the aged man had in some manner
gotten in front of an engine in the
Carlin yards near the ice house
and suffered the loss of both legs.
His left leg was cut off below the
knee while his right leg was cut
off just above the knee.
He was brought into Elko this
morning on a freight train and was
taken to the General hospital, where
desperate effort was made to save
his life. Loss of blood and the
shock attendant to his injuries, re-
suited in his death, however.
Until noon today the identity Of
the man had not been ascertained
and delirious from the pain he was
undergoing he could not talk. II
was gathered from his remarks tina,
his name was Wood or Woods
Just before noon an express receipt
was discovered showing that the
man had shipped package to Og
den.
A watch, a cent, screw, a jack.
knife and small pocket note bool
containing names and addresses OF
several California people were the
only effects found upon the body OF
the man.

DON'T BE
A DRONE-

"The man who thinks he is too
good to go into politics is the
worst thing possible for his coun-
try" remarks the Washington Post
There is much food for thought in
the suggestion. It has long been
noted that critics of our political
system are never those who have
sincerely worked for its betterment
Their self-constituted role is to de-
nounce loudly everything savorine
of politics." and to cast as much
opprobrium on the term as pos
sible. 1t is due to those malcon-
tents that there are SO many people
in our country today who think they
have done their full duty when they
have gone to the polls once q
year and cast their vote for can
didates that others have chosen.
The politician, the man who inter-
ests himself in the nomination and
election of the public office holders
should be among the most honored
of our citizens. We should all be
politicians, and devote sufficient OF
our time and talents to fill oul
offices with individuals of proved
honesty and ability. Only by SC
doing can we hope to maintain and
raise the standard of government.

between now and the month of the
election. Meanwhile w. j. Bryan

between now and the month of the
election. Meanwhile w. J. Bryan
is understood to be standing around
ready to spring the Darwinian
theory as the paramount issue at
the psychological moment.
Perhaps, when the time arrives,
the people themselves may take a
hand in saying what the issue is to
be. They have been watching the
course Of events rather closely the
past year and some months, and
are pretty well able to judge of
the progress of events. They have
seen very long step taken in the
direction of world disarmament un-
der the auspices of the government
at Washington, and they undoubtedly
have formed or will form a very
good idea of the general purpose
and ability of the administration
in steering the ship of state through
this vexatious readjustment period.
Voters may have some scores to
settle with certain of their repre-
sentatives, in one party and the
other, on special basis; generally
speaking, they are not going to be
influenced extensively this year by
hand-picked issues.
The politicians need not worry.
The people are perfectly capable of
determining matters for themselves,
and that is what they will do.

A scATHINc
RERUKE-

Wisconsin received a scathing re-
Duke from the leader of the demo
cratic side of the Senate a few days
ago when the bill for the extension
of the life of the War Finance Cor
poration was under consideration. 1t
will be remembered that when the
War Finance Corporation expired
by limitation during the closing
days of the Wilson administration
the republican Congress passed a
bill reviving it and Wilson vetoed
the bill. 1t was passed over his
veto. In discussing the subject a
few days ago when the Corporation
was further extended, Senator Sim
mons ranking democrat on the Fl
nance Committee, said "at the time
we revived in interest of agricul-
tural credit, the powers which we
gave to the War Finance Corpora
ton, there was situation in this
country which would brook no de-
lay, which called for immediate
action in order to save agriculture
from a debacle." Notwithstanding
the record made by Wilson as the
arch-enemy of American agricul-
ture, convention of democrats in
an agricultural state adopted reso-
lutions few days ago assuring
Wilson that they still recognized
him as the leader of the democratic
party. Leader" indeed!

THE NOVEMBER
ISSUE


These are the halcyon days of
hunting, throwing, roping and
branding the tissue" that is to be
led around later by a ring in its
nose for exhibition to the voters at
the election in November. Nam
ing the issue is the favorite indoor
sport at the moment. Senators are
joining merrily in the pastime, the
only trouble being that every time
somebody puts his finger ON an
issue and says, "Tag, you're it,
some othe fellow up and shouts
Nothing doingw 1t seems impos-
sible to get near an agreement as
to what the issue shall be.
The Hon. James Cox, still dazed
by what hit him in November, 1920,
and believing that the people did
not know what the issue really was
at that time, thinks it's got to be
the league of nations over again
making sure that the voters know
what they are voting on next time.
He is aided and abetted in his de-
sire and demand by some republi-
cans, but they are offset by shrewd
democrats, who want no more of
the issue that killed their hopes.
Some republicans aver the issue will
be economic, and some democrats
assert it will be somthing the
republicans may or may not do

AMUSING,
NOT INSTRUCTIVE

Lady Aston, having been born in
the United States, is all right, not
withstanding she married an English
lord and became a member of
the British Parliament. She will
get only kind attention on her visit
to her native land. Nevertheless
when it comes to politics and
policies Of government, we choose
to take our advice from the ladies
who were able to find suitable
husbands in the United States, who
like the United States as a place in
which to live and die, and whose
futures and future interests are
identical with the interests and
future of the United States. Lady
Aston is amusing but not instruc-
tive when she undertakes to lecture
the women of America. It is our
guess that the more Lady Astor
breaches internationalism in Ameri-
ca the less popular she will become.

It relates to a new ruling for ap-
pointees as postmaster.
Anna S. Michal was commissioned
postmaster at Round Mountain
Congressman Arentz was much sur.
prised to receive telegram next
day reading: Twill l be required ia
take course at Reno before assum-
ing office here?" The Congressman
didn't know what. to make of the
question. Neither did any Of his
neighbors in the House office build.
ing. Neither did any of his col.
leagues whom he consulted at the
Capitol.
In much perplexity a query was
telephoned to the Postoffice Depart.
ment next morning. Then it was
learned that new order is going
out with present-day postoffice ap-
pointments, reading in part as fol
lows:
with the object in view of as
sisting you in getting started in
your new work, and that you may
become informed in advance as to
the duties you are about to assume
the Department requests that, pre-.
vious to taking up your work, you
proceed to your nearest central
accounting office at....., for q
short intensive course of instruc.
ton with the postmaster at that
office.
"As there is no appropriation
available for the purpose, it will
be necessary for yon to meet your
own expenses"
This procedure had seemed ma.
tural enough to the Eastern people
but Congressman Arentz had t.
explain to the Postoffice depart
ment that such an order, If com
piled with by the man or woman
who might be appointed to some
small office in Clark county, fol
instance, would involve an expense
approximating half of the frs
years salary, as Reno is the only
central accounting office" in Ne
vada.
He explained further that candi
dates for postmaster are sought In
vain at four places, and that two
of these postoffices are about to BE-
discontinued because nobody will
take the job. If an appointee al
Round Mountain, or Goodsprings
or Jarbidge, or Bunkerville, or some
such place, were compelled to take
a trip to Reno to prepare for the
office, many more postoffices in Ne.
vada would be discontinued soon

The assistant to the First Assist.
ant Postoffice General said the in.
struction would not be required in
such cases.

tive Robertson is called by nearly
all of the Congressman. While
she was telling about the reception
the Press Club boys gave, and the
dinner Saturday night when Lord
Astor "took her in" and her own
dinner for the Oklahoma women,
a young Democratic representative
stopped to congratulate her onn
all the good that is being showered
ON her, and he said that what is
needed here is a lot of women like
her-women who will not be swayed
by public opinion.
1t is a fact that Congressman
often leave their offices with their
minds made up how to vote and
change within five minutes. More
than one has told of such ex-
periences.
The so-called Dunn road bill,
H. R. 11131, introduced less than
a month ago, and against which
numerous protests had been filed
by Western automobile associations,
chambers of commerce, and indi-
viduals, passed the House Monday
afternoon under suspension of the
rules, giving no chance for discus
sion. The vote was overwhelming
239 to 81. Congressman Arentz
voted with thirty other Western
representatives against the bill.
The Dunn measure was generally
approved. The West objected only
to Section s, which is a return to
pre-war basis of Federal participa-
ton in State road work. From
moneys appropriated for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1923, Federal
aid is limited to $12,5O0 per mile,
and after that date to $4,000 per
mile.
Eastern men were heard to ex-
press the idea that certain efforts
of Western men, not members Of
Congress, to secure exaggerated
amounts of Federal funds for their
roads, had resulted in slight at
tention being paid to their protests
now.

It is not an unusual thing to see a

or perhaps pointing out celebrated
