The work of saving the souls of the heathen of far off coun- tri¢s is a burden which we cheerfully bear, and each time we opén up our purse we feel that we are a shining cog in a great wheel which performs its work both nobly and well. Our earnest and self sacrificing missionaries penetrate even unto the remotest corners of the earth, pegm;g the bayner of God and sprading the doctrines of Chnstlamty, vtgachm}g the ignorant, the superstitious and the idolatrous to do, unto others as they would be done by, and to love all people :as.they love themselves. : .

We have our murderers, our holdup men, and our thugs and our plain thieves—political, commercial and otherwise. We have our profiteers, and our agitators, and our bunco steerers—and all are waxing fat. 5 Ak Yes, we have all of these and oodles tiore of their kind, and the story has not yet been told. i But, you know, we are an enlightened and a Christian nation. We know right from wrong, for do we not feach the beauties of life to those who walk in darkness throughout the world? . Perhaps, some day, when we have converted Japan, and China, and Turkey, and India, and Africa, and all of the other unbelievers to the true doctrines of, Christianity. we, will give a few hours of serious thought to the problems of our own coun_try_._ - - 2 & FeE Perhaps, even, our converts from other lands may send their own- missionaries into our midst, and convert us to the beauties of our own Christianity, and lead us gently back into the' moss grown path of the Golden Rule. Perhaps—who knows? - “""NO MONEY TO DEPORT ANARCHISTS. Failure of the immigration authorities to take action in the cases of more than 400 aliens, recommended for deportation by the department of justice, is due to a lack.of funds to keep immigration work current, the house immigration- committee was told by Immigration Commissioner Caminetti. It would seem that there was plenty of money for getting rid of the radical horde that is infecting this country, striving to ‘bverthrow the government. 'The government has wasted millions updn millions of dollars by incompetent executives dusing the war and now the nation can’t get'rid of the gang that is seeking -to overthrow it, owing to “not having the money.” More incompetency. . ——— ) Why, indeed, should our great and good friend Carranza refund the money Americans pay to ransom their consular agents and other citizens? Every dollar the outlaws thus gain is just so much added to the wealth of our dear sister republic. It’s a great scheme—for Mexico.

Ethel Clayton’s latest Paramount photoplay, “A Sporting Chance,” is an excellent picture and will be pre- sented at the Elko theatre Friday and Saturday. Her support is above the average and the various situations are dramatic and thrilling. Jack Holt is the leading man. Mack Sennett’s new comedy, “Up. In Alph’s Place’ ’is on the same pro- gram. i Provides Much Humor.

Lillian Leighton has a simi- lar role, that of an old negro nurse, “‘Aunt Cassandry.” Her part in this picture is said to provide much of the humor, if not hearty comedy.
