BERLIN, October is. - The
North Polar regions are growing
warmer.
That S why the north temperature

Explorers who have been thread

moderi ton of the weather several

The Norwegian explorer and gcolo-
gist, DR.. Boel, in 1922 discovered
coal deposits on the eastern side of
Advent Bay on the Island of Spitz-

MUST HOLD LINCOLN
HIGHWAY

Utah people should demand Of the
tate road commission the COM
,letion of the Lincoln highway in
Utah in order that this state may
lot be cut off from direct patronage
travelling over the Lincoln highway,
says the Citizen of Salt Lake City,
Utah. 1t is said that there is only
a stretch of about seventeen miles
to build which completes a direct
road from New York City to San
Francisco, but this state has been
very backward in holding up its end
in construction work on this trans
continental road.
According to reports Of automo-
bile associations, tourists spent $40,-
100000 in Colorado last year, and
over $43000000 in Los Angeles.
While in Utah the sum dwindled
down to about 100000. Had the
Lincoln highway been in good con-
dition going through this state we
would have received a visit from
nearly all the tourists coming west
As it was most of them split in
Colorado, some going to the coast
by way of Wyoming, Idaho and
Oregon, while others took the south
ern route through New Mexico and
! the Mojave desert.-Carson News

INCREASING COST OF
SCHOOL GOVERNMENT

There is much meat in the OBJ
servation of the Nevada Public
Economy League that unless the
cost of school government in Ne
vada is decreased the state will
soon break under the strain.
One of the first remedies for
the situation is the abolition OF
the office of deputy superintend-
ents of public instruction, which
have been a loadstone around Ne
yada's neck. Salaries and expenses
Of the five deputies make up quite
an item in the state budget and the
service they perform is not at all
worth the money outlay.
There should be system, too,

A WONDERFUL WOOL
MARKET

Wool selling around fifty. cents
pound means more than profits to
few sheep growers in Nevada, for
wool is one of the most important
products of the state and practically
every dollar received from its sale
is Immediately distributed in the
communities where it is produced.
Nevada sells approximately 10000
900 pounds of wool annually and
this year will be even larger, as
many growers claim that the clip
will reach as high as nine pounds
per animal, due to very favorable
weather and range conditions.
With cattle selling close to the
cost Of production it is gratifying
to know that the sheep growers,
many of whom are also engaged in
the cattle business, will have a
splendid season. Prior to last yeah
they had several years of low
prices, but there is every indica-
ton that the top prices of 1923, in
combination with the strong mar
ket Of 1922, will place them strong
ly upon their feet in a financial
way, and also enable them to ge,
their focks in fine ondition.-Reno

shocked in the discovery that esti-

If one may judge from express
sions generally heard, many who

happen next. The present national
prosperity is based largely on build

OPINIONS OF OTHER NEVADA EDITORS
Excerpts from Editorial Expressions in Nevada and
Other Publications, Showing Trend Of Public
Sentiment in Other Places
A JUST CALLDOWN

The Humboldt Star is making
much caustic comment with regard
to the county hospital bill which re
Gently passed the legislature, was
signed by the governor, and con
sequently became the law of the
state. There is much to be said
with regard to the attitude taker
by the Star on this matter. In the
first place in matters of this kind il
is customary to boiler before the
proposed measure comes to vote In
the legislature, and then accept
the result as being final. So far as
we can remember the Star had moth
ing to say about this measure be-
fore the session of the legislature
adjourned, nothing to say, in fact,
until The Free Press called the at
tention of the people of this county
to this law. Hollering at this stage
of the game will avail nothing along
the line desired by the Humboldt
county paper.
There is another angle of the af-
fair that makes itself more apparent
as new editorials spring into print
in the Winnemucca paper, which is
that the attitude taken by the edi-
tor, advising the non-enforcement
and disobedience of the law simply
because, without an attempt made
to see just how it will work out,
the Star for some reason or another,
does not believe in the law. This
is most un-American point of
view, and is a dangerous stand to
take at any time, more particularly
at the present moment, when the
prohibition law is being flagrantly
violated just because large num-
Der of citizens are not in favor of
it. To see a newspaper, one of the
most sacred functions of which is
to mold public opinion, taking the
stand adopted by the Star, at a
time when the very foundation of
the American government is being
shaken by the non-enforcement and
aagrant violation of various laws,
is most distressing to say the least.
The idea that just because a law
10 uHpOpuldI tudt IL 10 lutItlOIc q
dead law is becoming altogether too
wide spread for the welfare of the
government, and now we have a
newspaper advocating just that.
The law has passed; it is now in
force, theoretically at least, and the
best policy for all concerned would
be to accept the situation as it is,
and to back up the law until it has
been either wiped off the hooks or
declared unconstitutional.
The only course open to a truly
American newspaper is to stand by
he constitution of the state as well
Is its laws whether in the mind of
he editor they be right or wrong.
rs a matter of fact there should
lever even be any consideration
,iven to the other course.-Elko

CLOSING THE LIBRARY

The supreme court justices of
Nevada were undoubtedly sincere
in their belief that a saving could
be made through closing the state
library in the evenings, but. they
should know now that there is a
strong demand that the library be
kept open at night until a reason
able hour and this demand should
offset any saving that the one clerks
salary involves.
School children in particular seek
accommodation at the library in
the evening and the miscellaneous
department offers a splendid place
for recreation for the people gen.
orally who are. unable to reach the
library during the day.-Carson Ap-
