SHOP EARLY Only 7 Days Remain Until Christmas A ONE ACT FARCE. It must have been a rather dignified occasion when President Frank Coiflon of the North Star, borrowed $30,000 from President Kranlf Coition of tho Nye and Ormsby County bank. As near as wo can surmise, tho proceedings must have been something like this: President Golden, of the Nye and Ormsby, is seated at his desk in his private office. A knock is heard at the door. Golden arises and calls, "Come, in." Enter President Frank Golden of the North Star. The two shake hands and converse on common sub jools for a minute or two. Finally Golden of the North Star says: "I would like to borrow $30,000 for a few days." "Have you any security?" asks Banker Golden. - "No, hut I will give you my word," responds Golden, the nining man. "lis your word worth anything?" again asks the Nye and OrniMby official. "It. It; new, but. it won't be worth 'a cent inside of two years," Kays the North Star president. (They both laugh and consider tho joke a good one.) "I will call a meeting of the hoard of directors sind have the matter discussed," replies the president of the bank. President Frank Golden of the North Star loaves the office while President Frank Golden of the bank resumes his inspection of a list of over drafts. Finally he taps a bell and one of the bank clerks enters in answer to the call. "Boy," said the banker, "call in the janitor, as we have bus iness of importance to discuss." Exit the boy, who soon enters with the janitor. "Gentlemen, bo seated," sail the president. ' "I desire your opinion on the matter of loaning to the North Star the small sun of $30,000. What is your pleasure?" "Site be a granda scheme. Sura Jlike," says the janitor. "Me, too, Mickey," answers tho clerk. So the mnttcr Is settled and the next day President Frank Golden of the North Star receives $30,000 from President 'Frank Golden of the Nye and Ormsby. Both presidents are satisfied that they have done their duty, one toward, the stockholders of the Nye and Ormsby, and tho other hy the share owners of the North Star. Such Is the art of high finance in the far west. POOR, UNFORTUNATE SPOKANE. Nevada's gain was Spokane's loss when the Industrial Work ers of tho World, a band of degenerate anarchists, were driven from the mining camps of this state, to find a new basis of opera tions In Washington. How bitterly the people of Spokane must regret the coming of these political vermin! Upon the streets of Goldfleld they shouted: "To hell with the flag and God damn tho constitution!" A regiment of the regular army was sent to quell them and they dissipated like mist be neath the morning's sun. Tho last stand they made in Goldfleld was when Nevada's chief executive, who, unutterably grieved that he must do his duty and who did it by requisitioning the troops died. At news of Governor Sparks' death every flag in Goldfleld was half-masted, save one. This was the banner hoisted to the top of the mast by the I. W. W. organization. But the good people of Goldfleld had the coinage to force It to be likewise lowered to half mast. For weeks tho jails of Spokane have been filled with blatant demagogues who attempted to preach the downfall of the govern ment from the street corners. Only yesterday one of the anarchists declaimed: "Once 1 had to take off my hat to a dirty rag, but now I am free. We will sing a song about a flag that Is a flag." As the police led him to jail his audience joined in the an them: "The Starless Red Banner." Starless, indeed, without a ray of hope. Red, indeed, plan ned to be more crimsoned by blood. The wonder is that the state and federal authorities, partic ularly the latter, do not crush the organization ns it would a den of rattlesnakes. Happily the union workers of the United States the' men of brain and brawn who build the homes and occupy them, who are the real industrials, have no sympathy with the band of anar chists from whom Nevada has but recently been freed, Reno Gazette. Another chapter was ended nnd a new one started in the Nye and Ormsby County bank rase at Carson Wednesday when Judge Langnn reduced the bond of Receiver T. G. Lockhart from $300, 000 to $250,000. Probably the judge felt that as the attorneys' fees due the counsel for former Receiver Hall had been paid, there was that much less for the new receiver to handle. The point is well taken. With a couple more suits like the past one, the re ceiver's bond may just as well be eliminated, for there will lie nothing for him to handle except notes. Never Kt it be said that the Bonanza. In order to secure bus iness, kowtowed In the mighty or published an editorial roast which It retrarted In the same breath. Such unprincipled tactics are nauseating tn the nostrils of the public.
