TEACHING spoRTsMANsHIP-

Scrooge would refuse to have his heart strings
touched by any recollection that this is marble time.
The rest of the world will not. AS long as there is
youth left in US shall respond to the appearance
OF mystic diagrams the warming earth and cries of
"Knuckle down."
year youth of so SO watched a crowd
Of boys playing marbles in the streets of Jersey City
Now marbles is grand game; it makes for skill and
judgment and it is capable of developing the same fine
spirit of craftsmanship that characterizes scholastic and
collegiate competition. The old Jersey City boy con-
ceved the idea of realizing every possibility in marbles
by organizing competition to determine the citys
premier player. His contest substituted for the win
nngs and losses of the ordinary game and the mild
stigma of of chance the opportunity to win one
of several prizes and the quite imposing honor of being
Jersey Cty's best marble player.
National interest aroused instantly Presently
contests held in other municipalities That is not
strange since the spirit of such contest is undilued
amateursm 1t eclpses the old game of win if you can
with the finer aspiration for honor or a token of
honor. 1t places the game above the winnings. So it
spread astonshngy and the Jersey City competition is
magnfed to include the country eliminating this
spring in national meet at Atlantic City to determine
Americas best marble player.
The truly say his soul is dead who would
not himself wish to be boy again for day to COM
pete for this honor and who does not regret that in his
day the same chance was not open to him. The
national contest this spring gives every evidence of be-
ing the birth of something peculiarly fine and precious
in the history of American sport

SEE WHAT SCIENCE REVEALS

For ages, the nhumsn cruelty of humans has gone
on. True it has been all unthnking, but that can
not lessen the pain which the boiling potato has suffered
Neither can it the inflicted upon count
less generations Of patrcan celery stalks And the in
finite tormens which the lordy turnp has felt be-
ing forced to associate in stew with the peban cab
bage is beyond imagination. Only the onion of all
the vegetable kingdom, has been strong enough to
bring tears to eyes with its suffering.
Sir Jagads Chandra Bose, Hindu scientist of world
reputation, has discovered through Investigations of
electric that plant life has feelings in common
with the higher forms of life, so-caled Metals, too
suffer like Waldemar Kaempert, writing of Bosses
experiments in Asia, Says:
Bose froze metals; they became torpid like an icy
hand. He narcotzed them and discovered that their
electrical responses like those of organism.
He pnched them and struck them and their behavior
was like that of living flesh. He rained blows them
and they wearied and swooned. He pinched carrot
with pair of tweezers, and electric shudder passed
through it."
The Hindu scientists discoveries must give pause
when prepare to sink teeth into tomato. 1t
is distressing indeed to reflect the pain human
cruelty iniicts upon vegetables. For part we
shall chew tenderly in the future, though the
barbarian in will not refrain from unholy glce at
the sight of unregenerate destroying without
mercy the detestable parsnp.

that the issues will be of just the right fit him,

ton. 1t is significant that, after than years
of Republican control and with that halfway mark, the
congressional election, months behind this party
spokesman admits the absence of definite issues in the
Democratic locker.
If political developments since the Republican party
came into power have not enabled the Democrats to
determine their issues, it looks as if they must be
fashioned out of nothing The promptness with which
suggestions that the league of nations be revived
have been rejected by party srategsts and the
division in the Democratic camp the tariff make it
difficult to revamp old issues while the prosperity of
the nation under Republican control makes the inven-
ton of issues baffngy difficult

reka Nevada, operating from PAIL
SADIE to Eureka; the Tonopah and
Goldfield, the Tonopah and Tide
water, the Nevada Copper Belt and
the Nevada Northern are the Ne
vada short lines affected by the
grouping proceedings.
While no statement has been au-
thorized by its officials it is UNDER
stood that some of the local Ne
vada roads are opposed to being
consolidated with the large trunk
system and will request that they
be exempted. This, it is reported,
is the attitude of the Virginia and
Truckee and others.
All short line railroad managers
are deeply interested in the con-
ferences and hearings under way.
They are especially concerned with
the consolidation plans, which are
yet to be worked out by the COM
mission as they may affect business
and operating management, as this
question strikes directly at their
power to exercise control over their
own properties.
The tentative grouping suggested
by the interstate commerce commits
sion do not include any of the Me-
vada short line roads, with the ex-
ception of the Nevada Northern. Its
announced plan is to group this with
the Southern Pacific. At the San
Francisco hearing the other Ne
vada short lines will be asked to
submit financial statements, state
ments of operations, and express
their opinions upon the proposed
consultations, and also indicate the
system with which they would pre-
fer to be aligned.
According to authorities upon the
question of railroad, by a vote Of
its stockholders may accept or re-
ject inclusion within any one Of the
proposed systems, and continue to
operate independently.-Elko Free

SANTA f CONTROL
/ OF ". P. DISGUISED.

At a meeting of the Interstate
Commerce Commission which is
scheduled to take place Saturday at
San Francisco, the most important
matter to come before this body will
be the proposed consolidation of
the Sante Fe and Western Pacific
railroads, to which the Santa Fe has
already objected. Such CONSOLE
dation, in the opinion of j. H.
Shaughnessy, chairman of the Me-
vada commission, would be highly
advantageous to Nevada, as it would
link the Western with one Of the
most successful lines in the country
and would greatly strengthen it
financially.
Traffic men living in Nevada
predict that, if the Nevada short
lines are consolidated with the
larger lines several of the former
will be attached to the Western
Pacific in order to equip it with
feeders in this state.
Every short line railroad in Ne
vada, with the exception of the
Nevada Northern, which operates
between Cobre and Ely, has been
subpoenaed to appear at San Fran
cisco next Saturday, when a hear
ing will be held under the matter
of consolidating the Western lines
into operating groups under the
national railroad act. The Nevada
Northern will appear at hearing to
be held later in Utah.
The conference will be conducted
by the interstate commerce COM
mission, which is operating under
the authority conferred upon it
several years ago by congress. I'm
der the congressional act the COM
mission was directed to group vari-
Gus railroad lines of the country
into operating systems in order to
facilitate transportation.

POLITICS FIRST

POLITICS FIRST
The governor Of Colorado has indicated that when
it comes to making senatorial appointment he may
have choice of his own. .Sundry political cast-offs
quick to offer advice when the death of Senator
Nicholson left vacancy in the states senatorial
representation. These included former president a
former secretary of treasury and former secretary
of state.
Presumably the governor knows the comparative
merits Of appointee possibilities well do these
distant advisers. 1t is also to be presumed that he
holds the interest Of his state closely at heart
they do.
Why this concern the Colorado appointment?
Is it soicitude for that states representation? The

INTOLERANCE

The great crime in America is to think. The herd
does think and it's intolerance of those who do has
no bounds. If a discover a scientific theory,
write condensation of history free from superstition
and improved belief sketch, the evolution of the
human for future centuries he the ntol
wrath of the mob that has progressed beyond
the kindergarten stage in knowledge wisdom and
hates nothing thoroughly to be reminded of it.
If man disapprove of the government and tell his
fellowmen about it, there clamor instant and wide
for his incarnation. The who drafted guaran-
tee of free speech knew from experience the bitterness
of intolerance at the hands of others. Human nature
has greatly changed since 1901 Intolerance against
the opinions of others is prevalent everywhere today
George Bernard Shaw has written great defense
of free speech in single sentence that should have its
place every editorial room desk:
"Our whole theory of freedom of speech and opinion
for all citizens rests not the assumption that
body is right, but the certainty that everybody is
wrong point which somebody else is right
that there is public danger in allowing anybody to
go unheard."
Do not dismiss that sentence with single reading
it is worthy Of study Many of need that guidance,
and especially when it is the other fellows opinion that
is being smothered under of temporary intol-
erance.
