The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-11-25
IN THE EYE OF THE CAMERA

Senator La Toilette declares that
third party must be a matter of
evolution. A third party that would
absorb La Toilette, and some of
his ilk, would be a decided blessing
to the Republican party.
New York state has dropped
from its force about fifty dry law
officers. This is said to be the
first step in the reconstruction of
the whole force. This makes it
plain enough for he who runs to
read what is the matter with pro-
hibition. 1t isn't possible to Sc
cure officers at $40 per month to
enforce law, when the bootleggers
will pay them twice that sum per
month to not enforce the law.
There isn't thing, under the sun,
wrong with prohibition, other than
that the majority Of people are
not in sympathy with the law. The
honest-to-goodness prohibitionist can
derive no solace from recent cleo
ton results. He cannot even "kid''
himself by pointing to California.
That state voted dry, true enough,
but it did SO because the grape
growers have learned that their
crop is in greater demand, at
higher prices, because of the use of
the grapes in illicit wine-making.
One more editor is added to the
membership of the U. S. Senate by
the election of Frank L. Greene of
Vermont. Mr.. Greene is owner OF
the st. Adams, Vermont, Messen-
ger. After six elections to the u
S. House of Representatives, Greene
was nominated for the seat in the
Senate now held by Senator Page
the latter retiring because Of age
and i'll health. Greene is not only
an able writer but a very clever
and effective public speaker.
According to one of the leaders
Of the Democratic press, the con.
gressional election was a victory foI
radicalism and a triumph for De-
mocracy. Assuming that this Demo
cratic claim is true and that the
Democratic party and the radicals
are enjoying an identity Of inter.
est, the Republicans will neither
leap to radicalism nor resort t.
IN extreme of conservatism. The
Republican party has been the
sanely progressive party in the past
and so it will continue in the
future.
The ship subsidy bill comes w
for a hearing in congress today
We have benn giving quite
a little thought, for the past
year, but for the life of ne we were
unable to arrive at the positive con
clusion that it should be passed
until we read, few days ago, tina,
Senator Capper and La Toilette are
opposed to the measure. That sci
us straight. We know, now, jus1
what should be done. Anything
that pair of birds favor, we are
against; anything that is opposed
by them We are ready to fight for
Capper is that peace at any price
galoot that assisted Wilson in car
rying the state of Kansas in 1916
and La Toilette is the senator thai
narrowly escaped impeachment dur
ing the war. 1t is not probable
that either one of them will evel
be found supporting any measure
purely American, unless it SHOULD
!, happen that it would rebound t.
the pecuniary profit of himself.
Republicans have stood for Ameri
canism as contrasted with interna
tionalism; they have made a re
markable record in the reduction
of the high scale of expenditure
adopted by the preceding admins
tration; they stand now as the.
have always stood for the protec
ton of American industry from un
fair foreign competition, and the!
have provided for the orderly an,
intelligent modification of tn
tariff law as changing condition
seem to demand; they stand TO
equality under the law and tt
preservation Of peace and persona
liberty.
There may be considerable doub
whether the election indicates
trend to radicalism, as our Demo
cratic friends insist. An analyst
