Carson City Daily Appeal is the real live advertising medium of this sectioo
as evidenced by its carrying a larger amount of advertising than any paper it
the city.
THE GAZETTE'S VIEW OF THE CIRCUS
Following the so-called fiasco at Reno last Tuesday the Demo
cratic party of the state is about in shape to enter the bankruptcy
court.
A statement of the party's condition might be presented as
follows :
Liabilities! Kunz, McCarthy, Finch, Brooks, Jurich, et al.
Assets At least 18,000 true blue Democrats, wild and disor
ganized, but ready, under competent leadership, to carry the banner
to 'victory.

BURSTS OF GENEROSITY
Reno Gazette
Far be it for the Gazette to interfere with the Democratic party
and its methods in the state of Nevada. It is none of this paper's
concern. And yet, with its national leader enunciating as the party's
doctrine the celebrated principle of "open covenants, openly arrived
at," perhaps the leaders in yesterday's gathering at Reno will
pardon a Republican paper's casual intimation that the local Dem
ocrats do not appear to have lived up to the rule any more than
President Wilson has.
There was obviously a slate and those named on that slate had
been selected in a covenant, the chief mover in which seems to have
been Anthony Jurich. "Was it an open covenant! Who shall: say?
Will George Thatcher, for instance, admit that it was an "open
covenant, openly arrived at," or will any other leader of the defeat
ed wing? But there is no need to ask questions. Messrs. Jurich,
Kunz, McCarthy, et al., will hardly say it was an open affair.
In fact, the covenant was not opened until the-meeting was
called and its opening spilled the beans all over the floor. The old
guard, veterans of a dozen hard-fought fields, struggled, fought,
talked, pleaded, begged, defied all in vain. The triumphant curas
siers from the South rode over them rough shod, and, when the bat
tle was over, the Carson contingent withdrew from the field badly
damaged, and the Reno element did the same. !
Boyle, Pittman, Henderson, Evans all seem to have been put
into a mortar and ground to powder. At any rate, there was noth
ing left of them when the committee adjourned. And with them
went the Democratic party's proudest tradition, that the people
should rule. Once there were three tailors of Tooley street in South
wark, England, who sent an address to the Tiouse of commons in
which they called themselves " We, the people of England." There
were more than three in the majority at the Democratic State Cen
tral committee here yesterday, but the parallel still holds they
called themselves "We, the Democratic party of Nevada." And
perhaps a dozen men Anthony Jurich, John Kunz, Dr. McCarthy
and friends themselves cast the vote of all their party for a hand
picked delegation to the San Francisco convention.
Of course, they had the right to do it, Only what .becomes
of all their talk about the dear "IVepul"?
SOME SIDELIGHTS ON THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
By Mrs. George Bass
When the National League of Women Voters presented its initial
program after its organization following the last National American
Woman Suffrage convention,- there were signs, that some of the
women who have been voters for a goodly number of years were not
especially pleased with the name.
"For fifty years we have been trying to get a chance to be
voters," many of the newly enfranchised said. "We have worked
that we might go into politics on the same terms as men and with
out any differentiation. Now that we have the vote, why should
we stick to the old, outworn and wornout way of flocking by our
selves and getting into a corner and saying, 'We are women'?"
And the experienced voters looked on with amused toleration, 'but
without enthusiasm. .
The new voter is more willing to trust her old leaders than
the party politicians. One of the results of telling women that
politics is corrupt and rotten and no place for them is that, having
heard this all their lives, some of the women are bound to believe it,
and the league of women voters is counting on them very largely
for its following. The idea of the balance'of power is attractive to
the tyro in politics, who does not know its dangers or how "delusive
it may prove, and, theoretically, at least, it makes a powerful appeal
to the woman who thinks she can improve the parties by staying
out of them. . .
. It is too soon to pass on the situation in Chicago, where the old
familiar, faithful and much-beloved National American Woman
, ?unrage association commmea itseit to tne names irom wnicn a
new and entirely different phoenix arose. It is not quite certain
how this experiment in transmigration of souls is going to work out
Some of the women say quite frankly that in Republican states
the league of women voters will prboably be simply another name
for the Republican ladies' aid society, and in Democratic states it
will be Democratic, and as a natural inference it would seem that
in doubtful states it may become a bone of contention.
ji mere were no presidential election in signt tor a tew years,
the prospects for a great non-partisan political organization would
be better than they are.

"It doesn't look to me as if he loses any,", replied young Mrs
Torkins. "He simply gives it away to perfect strangers. Wash

We Are Offering-
FIFTY MILLIONS FOR PROHIBITION
wnen senator rung, says tne Aew iorK world, denounced as
an outrage the proposed appropriation of 1 2,000,000 for the en
forcement of prohibition, Senator "Warren, in charge of the bill
replied tnat it we undertake to carry out tins laudable purpose
and make this country a prohibition country it will be, .f50,000,000
a year instead of $12,000,000.
The measure provides for the maintenance of a great host of
federal agents on all our land and water, boundaries. Every port
ol entry is to oe picketed inside ana our. - Hi very navigable river
and every road or trail intersecting the frontier is to be patrolled
Wherever intoxicants are stored, armed guards will be placed. In
addition to these forces, thousands of men and women will operate
as spies upon the industry and customs of the people;
Fifty millions a year is more than twice as much as was ex
pended lor tne support oi tne army Detore tne hpanish war. It is
only a little more than the most of both army and navy at that
time. It is, of course, many times greater than the ordinary outlay
for the enforcement of all the other laws of the united States.
Senator Warren's estimate may be startling, but when a minor
lty armed with the power of the purse and the sword undertakes
to control the personal habits of a nation of 110,000,000, it must use
a lot of money and the taxpayers must foot the bills.
ECONOMY AND PLEDGES '
The gentleman who is secretary of the committee of 171, chosen
to prepare the Kepubhcan platform for the next, presidential cam
paign, assures the public (in his capacity as writer for newspapers)
that the G. O. P. congress will have to vote a bonus for each former
serviee man. He seems to think that the present policy of deception
and delay cannot be continued lndehnitely.
; The Republican leaders of congress find themselves in a diffi
cult, not to say painful, situation, which is none the less unpleasant
because it is of their own making. They have been promising gen

erous recognition oi me iormer soiaiers ana sauors. At tne same
time they have been committing themselves to a regime of "econo
my."
As an insurance policy against crime, no safer policy was
ever written than that of well lighted streets and alleys.
Companies desiring revenue WITHOUT ASSUMING RE
SPONSIBILITY FOR FIRE PROTECTION, have added miles
of two, three and four-inch pipe (a practice seldom followed
by municipal works where revenue is secondary to service).
This utilizing of the city's own good credit means less
price for light, power, gas, water or other utility service.

No city in the west offers a better opportunity for the in
stallation of an up-to-date white man's laundry than Carson,
Nevada.
The trade is here, the power is here, the water is here, and
there is no local opposition other than that from Chinese and
Japanese laundries.
The town has a permanent population of nearly 3,000, is
the seat of state government and the people are prosperous.
