BETTER DAY IS COMING
There is practical unanimity on
the part of the press of Nevada in
regard to the movement started for
the advancement of the state
through the election of real and
reliable residents of this common
wealth as members of the next
legislature. It has been . snown
that fourteen members of one Ne
vada legislature and eleven mem
bers of another never returned to
the counties that had honored them
by election. This was the result of
placing confidence in carpet-bag
gers and men whose sole object
in life is to secure an office. It is
because of the general indications
that such men will not again be
elected to the legislature io this
state that the people are to be con
gratulated. It is already apparent
that there is to be a new deal.
It is the rule with the chronic
office-seeker that after he had been
elected to office he becomes arrogant
and begins to feel that he is the
master and not the servant. "The
public be damned" is too often his
motto. To a certain extent this is
true of the conditions now pre
vailing at Carson, and that is the
reason the people of the state are
clamoring for a house-cleaning in
1he capitol building. It seems to
be the custom of the state officials
to place their wives, sons, daugh
ters, and even nephews on the pay
roll without delay and a general
spirit of arroganco dominates their
attitude toward th? public. There
fore the people are demanding a
change.
Already men in whom the people
at large have confidence have an
nounced themselves as candidates
for the legislature and others will
file between now and the first of
August. With these men the beat
interests ot the stateare uppermost
and the coming serenade is to be
the swan-song of the carpet-bagger
in Nevada. The outlook for this
state is brighter than usual in a
campaign year.? Goldfield Tribune.
CREDIT FOR THE POPULIST
In these days when the politician
of various taiths are tramping and
motociug up and down the country
making claims as to the achieve
ments of their partiea, it is well t(
call attention to some of the eventc
of history.
Back in July, 1892, the Populist
?who was called all manner of
names to indicate that he was a
crank of high degree, and a hope
less cross between an anarchist and
socialist? held a national convention
and adopted a platform which de
clared for a postal savings bank,
government ownership of telegraph,
telephone and railroads. The plat
form also demanded the establish
ment of the initiative, referendum,
the direct election of senators and
some federal judges, the direct
primary, the free roinnge of silver,
the creation of "scientific money"
by the government, and the incom<
tax.
The postal bank income tax and
direct election of seiiafrs have be
come tacts of our national govern
ment, The m^v m?ntf-?r the- na
tionalizatio i of the telegraph ni d
telephone la on th? way and <f;n
hardly ba delayed many yrari.
Rigid regulation of railroads N s

mont and only one) fertovt trott

Already many states* including
Culifornia^have adopted the initia
tive. referendum end recall. TN
eleetion of federal judges has not
gained much headway, but ~Rou#e
velt haa declared foi* the rfecsll ; of
judicial decisions.
The direct primary is an accom
plished fart in most of the states,
and. in some form it seems likely to
come into universal use.
In fact, with the sole exception
of the money planks, the platform
of the Populist has been woiked
out in the laws of the land. ? Sac

Jumping the Traces.
It seems to be normal hi people to
crave abnormal experiences. The trott
ble with taking a (ling; as one some
times terms a light indiscretion, is that
it coarsens the timber and liber of per

worth while in experience, and folly is
never a direct road to any goal. ? Lob

Appearance Is Not All.
A gentle spirit may express itself In
rude words of illiteracy; it ie not
therefore rude. Ruffianism may speak

;t is ruffianism still. Strength may

be strong; ami a weakling may carry
the weapons of strength, but fight with

Dumb brutes keep away from dan*

from suicide.
For instance, yw always see a place
where a rallroaa irack and a publlo

The label "railroad orosslng" Is put
there so people won't think It Is a
billiard table or a confectionery chop
or a swimming pool.
The word "danger" Is added for fear
the reader might think It a good placs
to lie down and take a snoozesta, If tt
wer* not explained to him.
Alsq, did you ever see a bath mat
that didn't have on It, In large, has re
