Its ledger account will show so little on the credit side and such an accusing array of entries to its debit that the balance is not calculated to bloat the average legislative bosom with pride. Indiidual members may escape an accounting of their stewardship though the showing of measures of limited home interest and effort, but the body as|, a whole is convicted of an incapacity which is the more con- spicuous in view of the higher than average intelligence of the membership and the extraordinary opportunities presented. But for the passage of the Babcock constitutional good roads act, the session displayed a series of dismal shortcomings. Standing out as the one progressive and constructive piece of legislation against a background of general incompetency, in- appreciation and want of conception, this measure covers a multitude of sins and heads the abbreviated list of accomplish- ments. Taken with the same intelligént recognition of the educational necessities of the state in providing for the require- ments of the university and with the discernment with which the several vicious and dangerous propositions were strangled, it furnishes the only palliating plea for a word of commenda- tion. For the failure to enact the several measures for which the public interest clamored insistently there is neither excuse nor palliation. The time was abundant and the opportunity for action ample. Nothing but discrédit attaches to the session for the defeat of the budget system which might have obvi- ated in the future the calamities of the assemblage just ended. The failure to get under way a popular expression of appreci- ation of soldier and sailor sacrifice in the form of a state war memorial, in connection with the cold neglect of returned and necessitous troops is a mournful record ‘of callous indifference which will be called to a reckoning hereafter. The stingy recognition of the forestry system, without equipping it with means of attaining the efficiency which makes it.valuable is a stain upon the' legislative mtelhgence and integrity. ~ The de. feat of the motor corps bill carries the hallmark of timidity, vacilliation and subserviency. An utter lack of perceptlon and a petty disregard of perilous conditions were displayed in the failure to get together upon a measure to perfect the impotent election law and create a responsibility that would make such another legislative fiasco a practical impossibility. The success of the constitutional road bill carriés a moral to which reference must be made. It emphasized the leader- ship, the lack of which paralyzed the efficiency of the ses- gsion. If the Legislature could have rallied, throughout the same character of management and concentration it would have developed an absence of the individual and petty ambi- tions which geared up the log-rolling machine and wrecked every chance of a general constructive program. It was the market place of dicker and bargain, set up early in the session that did to death, for the benefit of personal ends, the measures of general importance and benefit. There will be those who will criticize the Legislature for its failure to enact what was labeled as a reconstruction pro- gram; but in our judgment such a criticism will not hold good. There is more altruism than practical possibility in these re- construction platitudes. There is enough teft for regret in that the Legislature failed, plainly and sxgnally, in the good program laid before it, thhout adding to its sins the omission of some- thing that at best is visionary and which has challenged without results the best constructive though of the nation. —— O ————— One terror of national prohibition to the financial experts of the government has been the prospective logs of half a bil- lion dollars of international revenue. But there is a silver lining even to this cloud. The internal revenue bureau, after an intensive study of the situation and the outlook, announces that the loss in taxes on alcoholic beverages may be made up from the taxes on alcohol used in the industrial arts. The use of industrial alcohol in the United States, with almost double Germany’s population, has not nearly equaled its use in Ger- many, but hereafter with the development of our chemical in- dustries, the demand is bound to be greatly increased both for home consumption and for export. In view of the legitimate industrial uses of which distilleries and bremeries can be put, the official opinion is that “probably three-fourths of the pre- sent liquor and beer investment will continue and a large amount of old revenue will be made good from new and pro- ductive sources.’ P Y | S —— If you have not subscribed for your Victory bonds, do it today.

Tonight, also tomorrow matinee and evening, the Elko theatre will screen the Paramount-Artcraft spe- cial picture “Private Pea‘ ' The pic- ture is based upon the story written by Mr. Peat and which has met with a wide sale all over the country. Mr. Peat himself played the leading role and his smile, of which he speaks in his famous lecture, “Two Years in Hell and Back with a Smile,” is con- stantly In evidence. The story, aside from its theme, is absorbingly interesting. Added attractions at the Elko tonight and Sunday will be “The Village Scandal,” a comedy fea- turing the famous “ratty” Arbuckle. New musical sgelections will be played each evening by the orchestra, led by Mr. Mauritz, who is capably assisted by Miss Riley, the two Peter- sons and Mr. Grinoldby. WOULD YOU POISON HIM. If your sweetheart proved false to you and while professing to love you, made love to another, would you poi- son him? This is the problem which Dolores, a Creole girl, the character portrayed by beautiful Pauline Frederick, in her Paramount photo- play, “A Daughter of the South,” which will be shown at: the Elko theatre next Monday and Tuesday is called upon to solve. This is only one of many interesting incidents which the authors of this admirable photoplay have crowded into their |- story. LAST TIME AT REX. Jean Dawn will close her engage- ment at the Rex this evening, after a most successful week. Pricilla Dean in “The Silk Lined Burgler,” will also be shown at the Rex this evening, as will another épisode of the “Lightning Raider.” REAPS NEW LAURELS. Anna Q. Nilsson, known to the stage and screen for her personal charm and distinctive talents, and who will be seen in the Metro play “The Way of the Strong,” to be fea- tured at the Rex theatre tomorrow, is one of the few stars to atiain in- ternational fame both on the stage and screen. Miss Nilsson began her stage career at an early age in Ystad, Sweden, the town and country of her birth, and it was her phenominal success there which made her long for the broader fields of dramatic work to be had in America. Instan- taneous stage popularity here led her to try motion pictures where she became a star with Kalem, Art- Drama, Selznick and others. She was leading woman with George M. Co- han in his screen version of his suc- cessful Broadway play, “Seven Keys to Baldpate,” and later appeared in the Rex Beach production, “Heart of the Sunset.” It was with Metro however, that Miss Nilsson was pro- vided with roles which brought to the fore her unmaual gifts; and her AILY PIONEER work as leading woman with Bert |~ Lytell in ““The Trail of Yesterday,” and “In Judgment Of,” was of such exceptiopal quality that she was made star of “The Way of the Strong,” ‘a story ‘which gives her a dual role of wide range and exceed- ing -dramatic*power. GERALDINE FARRAR SUPERB. With not one tame or uninterest- ing moment in the latest Geraldine Farrar release, *‘The Stronger Vow,” coming to the Grand theatre tonight and tomorrow, the world-renowned Goldwyn star is-given -opportunities to portray all'the emotions that-can engulf a beautiful girl in a whirl- pool of ~tragedy,. intrigue ‘and :love. Flirtatious and:arch is the'diva when as Dolores de.Gordova, .she meets her future lover at a carnival, vindictive and cruel when she swears to kill the man who ‘Kkilled ‘her . brother, yielding and femininely sweet and lovely when she learns that her love is reciprocated. “~Miss- Farrar’s big moment comes when she is brought face to face with tne ‘inescapable truth that the man she has sworn; to kill is the man she has just mar- ried.
