If anyone wants political gossip they can always get it in
the lobby of the Imperial. But one is foolish to put much stock
in what is being passed around now, for that is all it is,
gossip, of the most flimsy and meretricious sort. The plain
truth is NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT POLITICS,
at least state politics now, for tho good and sufficient reason
that nothing politically has even STARTED -to jell. That dues
not prevent a certain well known Portland Republican from
pontifically announcing that if Charley Sprague will only have
enough sense to sit on his back porch and keep his mouth shut
he will win in a walk. That's the familiar G. 0. P. technique,

conditions in this country changed more fundamentally since
the Ilarding-Coolidge era, than any similar period of time, since
Lee laid down his arms at Appomatoxl The people ar in no

Thirty-five thou-

The police were desperately trying
to devise some meana of frustrating
this attempt.
Suddenly Commander Baylla leap
ed up. "They ought to get a cargo
net." he aald. "He couldn't get awa
from a cargo net." He hurried to
the telephone and Instructed his
men where such a net waa to be
found. Then he came back and re
talked about Warde and about a
hundred other things, I guess, from
rescue work In tha Arctic to tropic
cruises.
About 10:18 I said goodnight and
walked out Into the street. All day
people had been saytng. "Let's go
down and have a look at that fellow
on the ledge." But I hadn't gone. I
didn't think he would Jump anyway,
not after waiting that long.
But before I knew It some force
waa dragging my steps toward the
hotel. I took out my police card
and stuck It Into the bsnd of my
hat, ao the police would let me

usual for t h
dozen doctors to see that many case

rushed, or endeavored to give the
appearance of rushing, from typhoid
patient to typhoid patient, and wan
dered whether some of them might
relent. If I pulled them through,
and actually pay me something on
account, I was harassed by a mel
ancholy regret that I had not oe
gun practice there five or ten years
earlier, for In the nineties a Pcnn
Yan doctor confidently expected to
have 30 to 40 typhoid coses on his
visiting list every autumn. The ultl
mate conquest of typhoid fever seems
at present as remote a the conquest
of China.
The ultimate conquest of malaria,
however, seems ss likely aa the con
quest of Ethiopia, notwithstanding
the southern states and the estlmsied
125.000 human carriers among the
apparently well population.
Wherever malaria prevails the gen
eral population Is below the avenge
physically, mentally, economically.
Not to engage In the chtcken-or-
egg controversy, I believe the cure
for the malaria problem Is education.

moved In slow motion, aa It took him
five minutes to fall the 30 feet from
the marquee to the street.
Meanwhile from windows above the
fatal ledge hung long ropes, sailors'
ropes, to which was attached a great
empty net. It waa the cargo net, the
one recommended by commander
Baylla, and If Warde had waited a
few minutes longer he couldn't have
got' away. It waa closing In around
him when he Jumped. But then, as
so often Is the case, even a apllt
second can mean a very long time.

and officials' responsibility for gen
eral self-regulation. But segregation
Is the real nubbin of the business.
It Is not expected that the re
port will soon be put In final form
or given to the public. One commis
sioner has named early December as
the likeliest time for the report's
publication. But that Is only one
more slsn that the SEC and the ex
change will use every effort to ar
rive at a mutual agreement. Clearly.
In considering such far-reaching pro
posals as the report may contain,
there must be Initial disagreement.
Indeed, exchnng and SEC officials

not open the door wide enough to

the camp suggested we push the

it would be all right with him.

that we visited was the Crystal oar
and hotel, famous resort In the days
when the Comstock wss at Its best.
The old oil lamp chandeliers are
still hanging In the bar room and
the main one la highly decorated
with crystals and various colored
lamp shadea. It contains 24 oil
lamps. The walla of the barroom are
decorated with pictures and advertis
ing a half century or more old.
We examined the hotel register for
the names of notables, and among
them we found Thomas A. Edison
of Orange, New Jersey (the world
famous electric wizard), who was a
guest at the hotel August 9, 1878.
We next visited the Museum of
Memories, containing thousands of
relics of the heyday period, news
papers and oooks from 50 to 70 years
old.
The old weekly Enterprise office,
where Mark Twain worked, still
stands, and In the window Is a plaque
to the memory of Mark, who was
beloved by the entire city.
We visited St. Mary's of the Moun
tain Catholic church that was built
In 1888 and Is still used for religious
services. The church Is still In good
repair and for the period In which
It was erected Is richly finished on
the Interior.
The Comstock mine, now abandon
ed and fast going to decay, during
Its operation produced $400,000,000
In silver and $300,000,000 In gold.
There are now some small mining
operations near Virginia City but tho
output Is so small that It hardly
attracts the attention of the few re
maining citizens.
We returned to Reno via the ghost
towns of Oold Hill and Silver City.
Gold Hill has given up the ghost
completely but Silver City shows
fome signs of activity, not In mining
silver but gold Instead. We visited
a stamp mill there that reports con
siderable gold production.
Tomorrow we will visit Carson City
and Lake Tahoe and my Impressions
of that trip will be written for a
later Issue of the Mall Tribune.

Now harvesting our very
best crop of the year,
As all the "foreign" can
and tourists are here.
Have you noticed how many
of 'em drive Ohevrolete?
They want oomfort and
eoonomy on vacation
days!
They're not out to see how
much they can spend,
But to see all the sights
before holidays endl
They know a few extra
miles on a gallon of gas,
Is a wonderful help in con
serving their cash.
