KATHLEEN NORRIS SAYS

Every woman, in her
heart of hearts, wants to
get married.
There is something eX-
tremely pathetic about a
certain type of young wom-
an. The type that longs to
be popular with men, that
longs for the legitimate joy
Of flirting and falling in
love, and that is somehow
forbidden the natural right
of womanhood.
Imitation of the garrulous
and amusing girl by her less
spontaneous sister is always
a mistake. And surely bit
terness and contempt are al
WAYS a waste of time, too.

The Catholic Church
and the
Public Schools

Many remarkable and sensational state
ments have been circulated, during the recent
past, by certain irresponsible persons and
agencies, concerning the attitude of Catholics
and their Church toward the public schools
of this country.
The Catholic citizens of this community,
feeling that their Protestant neighbors are
entitled to true statement of facts on this
subject, have established this agency, the
Catholic Truth Society of San Antonio, for
the purpose of furnishings accurate lntorma-
ton on this and other questions concerning
the Catholic Church, its doctrines, history
practices and members.
All inquiries will be answered promptly
and courteously. Address:

ELKo BOARD IN TROUBLE.

The Elko county commissioners
have been led into trouble by Preda-
tory Animal Inspector f.. r. Sans.
Nevada representative of the biolog-
ical survey, through his inducing
them to purchase strychnine for gov
eminent trappers at a cost of 5000.
In the first place Sans purchased 1t
outside of Elko, thus denying that
much business to local druggists, and
secondly the state law requires that
county commissioners must advertise
for bids for purchases amounting to
$500 or more. which they failed
to do.
It has been but a short time since
two former Elko commissioners were
removed from Office for violation OF
the same low.
But from the standpoint ef the
taxpayers that is not the worst of 1t,
by any means. This so-called govern
ment poisoning is a fake and a make
believe, with no excuse whatever for
its continuation other than TO furnish
life jobs for swivel-chair men who
are directing it. The biological sur
vey long since has tacitly admitted
this fact, the admission being through
its attempts to find a new and taste
less poison to take the place OF
strychnine, which has never been
found. 1t is admitted hal strych-
mines bitter taste prevents the ami
mails from swallowing it, and expert
ments made in the vicinity of Ely
have proved conclusiveiy that the
tasteless poison is not fatal 10 coy

DISGRACE TO CIVILIZATION.

The darkest spot on the American
escutcheon is its so-called judicial
system, which is not a judicial sys-
tenn at all. but an venue for the
doiging and defeat of justioe-a
positive disgrace to civilization.
The time once was when men were
imprisoned for debt. That time or
something more drastic is approach
ing again, for when tire limit of pa
thence of a free people Is reached
they are going 10 do something des-
perate and the reaction will be so
great that it wall carry things back
moi to but far beyond their former
condition and a form of anarchy will
supplant the pretended justice under
which the people have been told and
some of them believe that they are
living today.
Here in this alleged haven of equal
rights 1t is not one time in a
thousand that actual justice Is con-
summated between the partiss to
civil disputes. |. has come to be the
most brazenly conspicuous truism

Someone may reply hal that is
the fault of the lawyers more than
or the courts. The answer to hat Is
that they are one and the same. The
American courts are but the sub

gree of heat closes electric

small motor which operates
several well-placed, miniature
